MUNICIPAL MoNoPoLlEs.
Able Writers Who Believe In Public
Ownership.

Municipal Monopolies: A collection
of papers by American economists and
specialists. Edited by Edward w.
Bemis Crowell & CO., New York.
Prof. Bemis, the editor of this most
valuable and instructive volume, be-
lieves that soon one-half of the popula-
ton of this country will be living in
cities of more than 5000 inhabitants,
and that to all this enormous number
of persons the supply of water, cleo
trio light, gas for fuel and lighting
purposes, the telephone and street rail-
ways will have become vital .necessi-
ties.
Three great questions, therefore,
confront nearly 40, 900 of people in
regard to these monopolies:- Shall we
have public regulation or public own
ership and operation? If the former,
what shall be the nature of the regula-
ton? If the latter, what are the dam
gers to be avoided?
Immense pains have been taken by
the able writer's enlisted in treating
of these subjects to secure full and UNI
Improbable statistics, and there can
be no doubt that a flood of light is
thrown on the many dark corners
where the average citizen is helpless
through his enforced ignorance to form
an intelligent judgment 1t would seem
as if only hopeless blindness to facts
would henceforth stand in the way OF
popular and Irresistible demand for
the municipal ownership of these great
privileges on which the health, com
fort and happiness of so many depend.

A HISTORY OF SPAIN.
Frederick A. ODER Is the Author of One
for Young Readers.


Spain. By Frederick A. Ober CEIis-
tory for young readers) Appleton &
Co., New York.
Mr.. ODER is known as the prolific au-
thorof Puerto Rico and its resources, .
"Crusoes island Travels in Mexi-
co" "In the wake of Columbus, -
Camps in the Carribees," "A life of
Josephine" and numerous other works
having largely to do3with travel and
exploration. The. little book in ques-
ton is bright, picturesque, entertain
ing history of Spain for 5000 years, ex-
tending from the ancient Iberians, the
primitive inhabitants of the Spanish
peninsula through the treaty of peace
that concluded the. Spanish-American
war Some of the writing m It may
fairly be termed flashy, and in the
closing chapters the eagle screams
pretty much all the time, but as pop
ular text book of Spanish history it is
deserving of success.

Where shall Old Glory fly
And shake it's stars on high2
Where sleep Columbias sons
Who fell beside her guns,
Where death could daunt them never;

To guard their holy dust,
To sanctify their trust,

Where sleep COlumbia's dead,
Where her bold sons have bled,

And there the eagle screaming,

the machine shops said gray
haired workman yesterday, but what
L am reminded of the days when l was
an apprentice in the machine shop in
which 1 learned my trade, and the
great change which has taken place
between then and now. I worked one
year and half for nothing under the
stric,est kind of rules and was very
glad to get chance TO accept the posi-
ton even under such circumstances.
But we find a boy starting in to learn
the trade today getting Vi
a day for his work and he is
very independent at that. While this
is a fact nowadays, I believe that bet
ter workmen we're turned out under the
old system. The boys were not rushed
through the work like they are today
They went slow and we're thoroughly
educated in their work as they advanc-
ed. Receiving a dollar day as they
do now, the company must get the
most out of them possible, in conse-
quence of which they are pushed
through, as the saying is, half cook
ed If this thing keeps up the way 1t
is going at present it will not be long
until the apprentices are looked upon
with a great deal more favor than the
workmen."

A M1llet Model.

There ale few who have not heard Of
the famous painting by Millet entitled
"The Angelus." It will be interesting
to know that the woman who posed for
the female figure is still living in Bar

where the artist lived and worked and
died in poverty. She was young girl
when che posed for that picture, work
ing in Millet's family as servant as
we'll as his model. She appears in
Cleaners as the half erect figure of
the woman in the foreground, and she
is also to be found in "L'Attente. 3"

all her life, but it does not seem to
make her unhappy or ill natured. To

The Moon and the Hunters.

Some little time ago Sam McVey the
G. q. stationery engineer, purchased
two blooded hunting dogs and since be
came iu possession of them he has been
more than anxious to go hunting. Inc
other evening Dave Andrews of the q.
81. shops, called at Mr. Moneys resi-
dence and informed him that there
were complaints coming from a couple
of miles up the river that wild cat
had taken possession Of the neighbour
hood and suggested that they take the
dogs and go after IT..
Andrews assured McVey that the
moon would be up at 10 o'clock and the
cat would start on its ravages
at that time. McVey consented and
the two started out with the frisky
hounds ahead of th EN- =ingiDg' 'There'l III
be Hot Time in the Old Town To
night" When the point was reached
where the wild cat was supposed to
hold forth the hounds were called in
and the party sat down to await the ar
rival of the moon. Their watches
were consulted several times and al
though the hands indicated the hour
of midnight the moon had not yet
made it's appearance. McVey wanted
| to 90 home at that hour but Andrews
insisted that the mooa must be along
in short time as il
was an hour late then
The conversation then turned or
hunting stories and Andrews held Nc
Vey spell bound until two O'Clock nd
as the moon had not yet arrived, AID
drews suggested that they go home
and they went. Upon reaching home
Andrews consulted his almenac AMI
found that the moon and day light ar
rived about the same time. It is salt
by people Who are supposed to know
tnat the vicious wild Cat which the.
were hunting, is nothing more or les
than a harmless bob tailed dog.

LINK AND PIN.
THE ENTERpRISIN6 T. p.
They Have Put on a Preferred
Freight Between Here and Tex

arkana
The Texas g. Pacific road have put
on q preferred freight train between
this point and Texarkana, and three
regular crews have been put on this
division to handle it. For asome
months past the T. p. have been handl-
ing what Is knows as fast frelghs
over their line but during the stormy
weather it fell behind time and 1t
seemed impossible for it to
catch up, so Superintendent
Ward ordered this preferred
train put on and will give 1t passengers
privilege while on the road, and 1t
must arrive at all points on time Con-
ductors De Voc. Elliott and Campbell
have charge Of the three runs out OF
here and they are all men who will
get over the road on time when 1t 1s
possible for them to do so. The first
traip of this kind left here Friday
night and one left Texarkana about
the same time for the west. These
trains are in all prooa,
bility permanent thing and
there is no doubt but that
they will DE well patrOnized when this
fact becomes generally known. There
is no good reason why the L. 2. should
not have q good share of the freight
traffic from Chicago and other eastern
points and it looks very much now as
if the enterprising managers OF that
line were making o desperate effort to
let the world know that they are still
in business with rolling stock as good
as any road in TIE country.

The Release Certificate.

1t is necessary now for train man
who has been under the care OF the u.
H. company doctor to get release
certificate from him before they can
go to work. When asked regarding
this rule yesterday, Master Mechanic
De Young said: "We were forced to
introduce this practice. Prior to its
existence when men were allowed to
return to work when they thought
they were we'll, we had
a great deal of trouble which caus-
ed many hours delay 10 some of our
trains. Those who were just recover
ing from sick spell and a little over
ambitious, would report for work and
we would accept them. On several
occasions they went out and before
they had gone many miles they dis
covered that they were too weak to keep
up steam to the end of the division and
the train was sldetracked and
a new fireman called for.
Well, the train was delayed just as
long as it took us to get a
new fireman to the point where the
sick man gave out. We could not
stand this order of things and an order
was issued that no man could go to
work without release certificate
from the doctor showing that he was
fit for the service required in him.
We find this plan to work much better
| to the men as we'll as the company"
