"The report of the Burlington railroad
for the fiscal year ending June 30 has
just been issued. 1t shows that the Bur-
llngton is one OF the few American rail-
roads that operate over 1000 miles and
earn more than S40000,000 per annum
The Burlington system has now grown
to 1897 miles, and is still building ex-
tensions. During the year covered by
the report it's earnings reached The enor-
nous total of $43, $3.50, 600, or S5S9,000
more than the previous year. 1t is
worthy of mention that this gain is en-
tirely from increased passenger, mail and
express business, the freight earnings
having fallen off. The detailed figures
of the report show that the company has
literally spent money for improvements
and equipment and indicate that the
Burlington standard OF efficiency, al
ways high, has been maintained"

CALLING FOR MOTHER.

Always calling for his mother-never
stops from morn till night;
Last words on his lips at bedtime; first
words in the morning light.
Nothing ever seems to please him; nothing
else he'll ever say
Butt wants-I wants my motherw .
And his mother far away!
Always calling for his mother-give him
this and give him that
Rig him out in little breeches, and a rib
bon round his hat;
Give him painted sticks Of candy-still the
same thing, night and day
Always calling for his mother, and his
mother far away!
Always calling for his mother! - Well,
at best the mother is
Sweetest of our sweetest mem'ries, and
her kiss the sweetest kiss!
Surely, when the darkness gathers-when
the light has left the skies,
We shall meet in heaven the welcome Of
the mothers lips and eyes!

Victoria SAYS She Lives Opposite a
Big Department store.
The children of Prince Henry of Bat
tenberg. who married Queen Nictoria's
Youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice,
and died of fever during the Ashanti
campaign, live with their grandmother
at Windsor. Recently two little girls
from London came down to spend the
day with the little Battenbergs, and 1t
so happened that her majesty PAID
visit to the nursery, and found them
there.
The young visitors were taken aback;
they had not expected to see the Queen
and had not been instructed how to con-
duct themselves in the presence OF roy
atty; but they had been well brought up
and knew their Bibles, and they
thought at once of Daniel before hing
Darius. They decided that what Danlel
had done must be correct, so the pair
threw themselves on their faces on the
floor at her astonished majestys feet
and cried out with loud voice:
80 queen, live foreyer!
However, this proved an excellent In
PRODUCTION, and presently the queen
and they became great friends. she
took one of them on her knee, and all
three chatted together in the friendliest
way.
"And whereabouts in London do you
young people llve?" asked the Queen.
"Oh," said the little girl on her knee,
tive live just opposite VS." naming
one of the new mammoth stores that
have become such marked features OF
the London of to-day.
But please won't you tell us where
you live when you go to LondonT said
the other little friend.
The Queen looked thoughtful for a
moment, and then remembered that in
Buckingham Palace Road there is also
a mammoth store. oh" said she,
smiling, lin London live opposite Cor
ringe's,"

are unanimous in saying that the win

known In Northern Alaska. Be this
as it may the weather in the Yukon,
on account of the dryness of the at
mosphere and the absence of winds,
was almost uniformly pleasant. A
temperature Of so degrees below zero

Curious stories Of the good 1t incident
ally did, come from Southerners who
passed through the recent epidemic. A
confirmed dyspeptic AYERS that now he
can eat anything; man who had suf-
fered twenty years with asthma SAYS
he il wholly free from that distressing
malady; and these and others declare
that II yellow fever attacks a person
who has a chronic disease, that disease
goes away when the fever goes. 1t
seems fat and proper, too, that the more
terrible malady should expel the less
dangerous one; but since the patient
may die while this process is going on,
It is probable that yellow fever will
never become a popular cure for dys-
pepsia and asthma.

Much Of the political confusion In
this country of late years has been due
to a confusion of responsibility. In
order that a political party may carry
out its policy, it must elect President
and have also working majority In
both houses of Congress. 1t has hap
pened but rarely during the last thirty
years that these conditions have exist
ed. The popular feeling which elects
President Of any party may usually
be counted on to give him a majority
to support him in the House of Repre-
sentatives elected at the same time. But
as two-thirds of the Senators hold over,
the majority in the Senate Is often hos
tile to the President, or the usual re-
action gainst the dominant party in the
"off year. may give hostile majority
in the House of Representatives. I'm
der these conditions, the party nomin-
ally in power cannot be held to a strict
accountability. If it fails to keep its
promises it can point to divided Con-
gress as Its excuse. Voters become
confused, and enough of them shift
from one party to the other to keep up
a seesaw movement in national poll
tics. 1t Is best for the country that a
party which elects President should
control both houses of Congress, but
with a minority strong enough to pre-
vent the adoption Of extreme measures.
Then there is an opportunity for the
party to carry out its policy. If 1t fails
to do so, 1t can be held to account. Or
If the people do not like the policy,
when embodied in legislation, they can
express their disapproval by giving
political control to the opposing party.

A short time ago ten boys, ranging
in age from ten to fourteen, were
brought before New York magistrate,
charged with being Migrants. An Of
ficer had discovered them in a cellar.
They had originally organized for the
purpose of allowing the members to
settle any controversy which might
arise. In such an event, 'fist" fight
ensued. The defeated boy might not
protest, Neither could the victor ex-
act any penalty not at issue IN the bat
tie. During the summer these waits
slept anywhere. When the nights
grew colder, they came together in
places where there was some degree
of shelter from the weather. The
most popular of their resorts was the
cellar Of the empty building in which
they were discovered. A commenda-
BILE fact revealed in their examination
before the magistrate was that the
prosperous members were always ex-
pected to help those not doing well.
A majority of the members were news
boys, but whether they sold papers or
BACKED boots or occupied themselves
In any way, their earnings were held In
common, and no member need go hun

how, the little fellows were working
