The Philadelphia & Reading
Railway is experimenting with a
device for ridding smokingcars of
smoke. The idea is in the shape
Of a fan. There are three of them
ald they are similar to electric
fans. They have two blades and
are worked by an air wheel which
is stationed on the roof of the
car. The faster the car moves
the greater the speed of the fan,
and a continuous circulation is
kept up which forces the smoke
out through the ventilators or
rear windows of the car. These
fans are now being experimental

satisfactory.

PHILIP ID. ARMOUR.

"Uncle Phil" Armour is sixty
seven years old, and the latest es-
innate of his wealth is $67, 100000
one million for every year of
his eventiul life.
He has not injured his health in
his long fight for wealth and pow
er, for he is to-day the first man
OF all the 10000 in the Armour
concerns to be at work every
morning, and there is no detail in
the stupendous S100,000,000 a
year business that he has not at
his finger ends.
He speculates in wheat with all
the zest of d youngster, and new
er complains when he loses. He
simply turns around and tries
again, and then the "other fellow"
has to howl.
Mr.. Armour was born ON u
farm in Stockbridge, N. Y, and
early eyinced q taste for business.
He wanted to go out in the world
for himself when he was fourteen,
but his father had need of him,
and he was twenty when his
brothers had grown up. enough
to take his place and set him free.
This was i'll 1852, and he natur-
ally set out for California. His
slender means were exhausted
when he reached there, but he
put his muscles to work again,
and soon had dug out and cleaned
up 81 900. Then he let his brains
get to work, and by judicious
speculation in mining property
and stocks had within four years
$4,000.
He saw the enormous possibili-
ties in commission business,
started from the Middle Westand
went to Milwaukee in 1856, and
established himself in that line.
He dealt in everything, from
shovels to breadstuffs. and when
he decided to make his headquar-
ters in Chicago, in 1864, he was
worth close toS1, 100000.
Since then the growth of Ar
mour & Co. is a matter Of public
history, and the plant in Chicago
is one of the sights of America.
But, with all the vast amount of
work necessary to superintend
such an institution, Mr.. Armour
has always found time for specu-
lation. 1t is believed that for the
last eight years his wheat opera
tions alone have netted him 50,
600, 900 per year.
The only real worry he has ev-
er had came last year in the army
beef scandal. That brought him
nearer TO illness than he ever was
in his life, but he holds himself
indicated now, through the fact
that the English army in the
Transvaal is using his beef and
fighting well on it,
Mr.. Armour is both religious
and philanthropic, and is broad
minded in both. The Armour
Institute is the best-known of his
benefactions, but the tales told of
his minor charities are legion.

God mademnn In His own image. in the image
of God made He him. Genesis.
Bowed by the weight of centuries he
leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground.
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the
world.
Who made him dead to rapture and
despair,
A thing that grieves not and thatnever
hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the
OK?
Who loosened and let down this brutal
jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back
this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light with
in his brain?
Is this the thing the Lord God made
and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heav-
ems for power;
To feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who
shaped the suns
And pillared the blue firmament with
light?
Down all the stretch of He'll to its last
gulf
There is no shape more terrible than
this
More tongued with censure of the
worlds blind greed
More filled with signs and portents for
the soul
More fraught with menace to the uni
verse.
What gulfs between him and the sera-
phlm.
Slave of the wheel of labor, what to
him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks OF
song.
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the
rose?
Through this dread shapethe suffering
ages look;
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity
betrayed,
l'lundered, profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Judges of the
World,
a protest that is also prophesy.

Give back the upward looking and the
light;

"THE MAN WITH THE HOE"
BY EDWIN MARKHAM.

One of the most notable literary
productions of the year is the poem we
print below. 1t has provoked wider
and more prolonged discussion than
any other American poem written dur
ing the present generation. The idea
expressed in its forty-nine lines has
set the whole nation to thinking, and
it has found assailants and defenders
by the thousand. It's author, Edward
X. Markham, was Principal of a
school in California. He was born in
Oregon about fifty years ago where he
spent his early years helping his Wild
owed mother on cattle rancho. The
poem which has so suddenly lifted him
to fame was suggested by the remark
able picture sf the same title, of the
French artist Millet. The poem first
appeared IN the SanFrancisco Examin-
er of Jan. s, 1890
