GETTING SHY OF CARS
Santa Fe Makes 10, 1000 Do the Work
OF 1850.

Every western line is getting from Is
to 25 per cent more service than usual
out of its care, all of which are in
constant use, says a St, Louis dis
patch. The train hauls are being
esdily increased by improvements
made in the tracks and by the use of
more powerful engines. Merchandise
traffic in particular keeps up beyond
expectations, aud every available car
il put into it.
Fortunately for a majority of the
lines, the continued decrease in grain
traffic from previous weeks has in
creased the supply of cars available for
the movement of merchandise both
east and west. The loss of grain is
more than m ade up to the companies
by the increase in general mer-
chaudise.
All of the roads are still short OF
oars, but few are now getting cars
ordered from the builders some time
ago. A majority of the roads, how
ever, do not expect to, secure dellv-
cry of their new cars for come time,
probably not before the first OF the
year. The Santa Fee road has 10, 600
box cars which are doing the work OF
IL, 500 cars, and this is q fair illustra-
ton of what other roads are doing.

The English and the Irish.

That the English and the Irish, liv-
ing under the same physical condi-
lions, should have the most opposite
characteristics of any two people in
the world is one of the mysteries. The
physical conditions of the two races
are almost identical Ireland, like Eng
land. being inSular, with a surface
marked by moderate irregularities and
possessing a moist and eQuable climate
the chief differences being that Ire
land is rather more mountainous than
England and its climate being a little
milder and wetter. Yet the two peO-
Piles are sharply contrasted in temper
ament and character.
The Irish are as impulsive, mercu-
rial, humorous and unmethodical as
the English are stolid, orderly and
practical. In war the Irish are most
successful in attack, the English in
defense. The Irishman enters into
matrimony with his heart only, the
Englishman calculates the cost of mar
rage before making a proposal. Irish
literature is more witty, more tender.
more glowing than English, but is
less solid and enduring.
The contrast of character is most
strikingly demonstrated by the fact
that the two nations, during an inter-
course of more than seven centuries.
have never been able to thoroughly IN
derstand each other, and, apart from
artificial difficulties manufactured by
INSCRIPTIONS agitators, the real differ
ences between the two countries have
been entirely due to Il mutual misun-

NOONTlDE.

Prom portals that glowed with the rarest spaendol
Stiller than roses unfold and die,
She came and passed in her grace so tender,
And noontide hangs in the silent sky.
The butterflies fit in the drowsy weather
Hither and yon in may reel
Or dreamily fan their wings together
To the rune of the locusts droning wheel.
In zigzag courses the fences simmer.
Fervid and faint in the pallid moon
The corn leaves curl and the poplars g1immer
And drowsily wait for the south winds boon
And airy and white a wing drifts over,
Filmy and fair in the silent blue,
A ghost of cloud. Through fields of clover
Its shadow is trailing slowly through.
The poplar leaves in the silence CULVER,
Restless in slumber, while all things seem
The birds and the bees and the shaded river
Tapped in the maze of noontide dream

THE LACkAWANNA
Has Nearly One Locomotive To the
Mile OF Track

When the Lackawanns railroad re-
ceives the big new engines that have
been ordered 1t will have supply OF
motive power that will enable 1t to
successfully compete with its rivals
either in freight or passenger franc.
Dunkirk are building % consolidated
engines for freight service and III OF
the same type are now under way at
the Dixon Works In Scranton. Ihese
engines with the tenders will weigh
300, 600 pounds. The Brooks Works Is
also building new engines for pa ssenger
service that will be particularly adapt
ed for speed and power. me Lack
awanua Is one OF the best power
equipped railroads in the United
States, it having q total of sos locomo-
tives or nearly one to the mile.
The L scka Hsnns had no interest In
the hearing before the Interstate COM
merce commission, at Washington, on
Decem Der 6, at which time the largest
railroads in the United States, through
their representatives, petitioned the
commission for further time In wnicn
to comply With the law requiring that
all cars shall be- equ ipped with automat
ic couplers.
When thislsw was first passed the
Lackawauna railroad began with vigor
to carry out this provision, and q year
ago, every car which had been re-
turned to the road from its connecting
and foreign lines has been so equipped.
During the present year these cars
have been provided with automatic
couplers and today every one OF the
thirty thou=and cars of the road Is so
equipped.
O1ly five other railroads in the Unit
ed States have complied fully with the
law regarding the equipment OF cars
vii b automatic couplers.
