rubber NECK" AN OLD TERM.

The familiar slang phrase Of the
hour which dubs the curious one a
rubber neck" is a coinage of SO old a
date that out in the wild of the west
they are chuckling to themselves over
our supposed discovery of their long
forgotten term of derision.
1t was in Wisconsin that the rubber
neck was born ten years ago. The
lumbermen who spent their lives in the
solitudes of the vast woods and lived
with the trees, birds and animals for
mouths at a time, first won the appella-
ton. At stated intervals the sturdy
woodsmen gathered up their accumu-
lated savings and steered for the near
est town. The western town, which
grows almost in a night, underwent
such Kaleidoscope changes between
visits that the denizens of the forest
were in a constant amaze. They
stretched their necks hither and yon
to take IN the curious sights. They
gaped at the new buildings, they
stared at everything from the shop
windows to the pretty girls, and their
constantly moving heads won them
the soubriquet Of rubber necks. IN.

them the benediction of her smile
Her room had three keys, one of
which was kept by the Cardinal of
Winchester, one by the Inquisitor and
the other by the manager of the trial;
and yet almost any one who chose
could enter her room, gaze upon her
and even converse with her. The lit
tie king saw her.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of
Wednesday, Feb. Fl, 1431, the trial be-
gan. She was charged with the crime
Of being ''vehemently suspected of
heresy." The Bishop of Beauvais pre-
sided, and of the so ecclesiastics sum-
moned "A were present. Three author
lied reporters were in their places, and
there were some other clerks, con-
Icealed by a curtain who took notes for
the special use of the English regent.
There was crowd of spectators, "a
great tumult,' in the chapel and as at
the Dreyfus trial, very little order in
the proceedings. No lawyer or coun-
selor was given her. 4 girl of Is or 10
was pitted against the brightest and
most learned minds of Europe, but the
unevenness of the combat did not affect
her courage.
Jeanne was brought into the court

blind stare, and says, in a far-away
voice: Say, is there such places as

Don't want to know who yer are or
what you've been, so long as you're I'M
fortunate and poor?'
Il gave her Yes to all these ques-
lions.
Then she turns and says: I'm glad

out, adds the sergeant, stopping to rule
a line under the last entry of a
drunk and di" orderly" ''and I saw no
more of her. But 1 afterward heard
that they'd taken her in and found
work for her somewhere"
It was on bitter day in the winter
of 1S76-77 that Mrs. Osborne, hurrying
to her home through a by-street on
the West side, saw two girls budding
for shelter in a doorway. Something
in the aspect of the women, something
in the expression of their tear-worn
eyes as they looked out upon the driv-
ing rain, stopped her on her way, and
she turned back and spoke to them.
Their story was soon told.
1--WE are two sisters. Our home is in
Winston, Connecticut. Our people are
poor There was not enough food 20
feed us all, and so we came to New
York to look for work, and didn't find
it. We are penniless and homeless and
are starving"
Within an hour the two women were
housed in Mrs. Osborne's home. With
in a week they had by her aid found
employment. And out Of her chance
meeting Of these two women arose the
thought that there were other sisters
in this city who might be in need as
desperate; that here was the possiBil-
ity of work which might be carried
to an endless good. Il will make this
work the object of my life," she said,
and never for a single instance in 20
years has she weakened in her purpose.

room, freed of her chains and allowed
to sit. No official record was made of
her appearance, but other contempor-
airy writer's described her in this way:
1.-The hair cut round like that of young
men, shirt, breeches, doublet with 20
points reaching to the knee, nat cover
ing only the top of the head, boots
and CATERS, with spurs, sword, dag
gers, cuirass, lance, and other arms
carried by soldiers"
The trial opened by the bishop order
ing her to swear to truthfully answer
all questions put to her. CAS- to my
father and mother she said, "and
what l did after setting out for France,
will swear willingly; but the revela-
tons which have come to me from God,
to no one have l related or revealed
them, except alone to Charles, my
king: and l shall not reveal them to
you though you cut off my head, be-
cause I have received them by vision
and by secret communication, with in
junction not to reveal them. Before
eight days have passed l shall know
if am to reveal them to you"
The bishop urged her again and
again to take the oath without condi-
tons. She refused, and they were at
length obliged to yield the point and

with both hands placed upon a mis-
sal, she swore to answer truly what
ever might be asked of her, so far as
she could, concerning the common
faith of Christians, but no more. Be-
ing then questioned concerning her

of any damage from heating having
occurred in the 12,544,S57 bushels which
were delivered by the Illinois Central
and the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
railroads for export through New Or
leans. Of the 1851, 161 tons of
freight carried last year by the
Illinois Central, 1915 per cent. were To-
cal and 1914 per cent. through. OF the
1.S40,719 tons of freight carried last
year by the Yazoo e Mississippi Valley
railroad, S3.9 per cent. were local and
16.1 per cent through. When Mr.. Fish
entered the service of the Illinois Cen
trail in 1871, the ratio of its local to
through freights was almost exactly
the same as at present, and it has since
varied between very narrow limits, al
though the tonnage has increased more
than ten-fold.
No other port in the United States is
served by railroads reaching, under
single arrangements, so far and in such
varied directions into the interior Of
the continent. That those railroads
ought to bring to and carry from New
Orleans vastly more than they do of
goods for foreign commerce, is shown
by their gross receipts during the past
year, from the carriage of passengers
and freight, being S130,6 ,703, or 30
per cent. more than the value of all the
imports and exports of New Orleans,
which, in turn, amounted to s100,090,
537. In Mr.. Fish's judgment there is
an immense waste in carrying the pro-
ducts of the Mississippi valley to New
waste of course falls upon the pro-

ON THE RAIL-

Efforts are now being made to secure
a conference of the Chicago-St. Paul
lines and the direct lines east-bound
from Chicago next Tuesday The SUBJ
pect to be discussed is the meeting OF
500 line competition east-bound from
st. Paul. That road has put into effect
a SIT rate from st. Paul to New York.
which is $S below the lowest author
lied rate. Unless it's rate is met by the
Chicago roads they will have to go out
of the business, and before meeting it
they must secure the consent of their
eastern connections to such a division
of the through rate as will allow them
fair proportion of the through rate.
A majority of the roads east from Chi
cago appear to be disinclined to agree
to any such division. They insist on
being paid their full proportion of the
round-trip rate. If they cannot get
that they say they do not want the
business at all. For the western roads
to give it to them would be simply to
pay out good money for the privilege
of turning over business to eastern
roads, and this the Chicago-St. Paul
roads are by no means prepared to do.
They say that the 500 road is wholly
unjustified in making the rate in ques-
ton, and if it is allowed to profit by its
unwarranted acts it will be an en-
couragement to it to persist in them
in other directions. The conference is
sought for the purpose of trying to get
the eastern roads to 1oo1< q tha mar
ter from the same standpoint as the
Chicago-St. Paul roads now regard
it.
