As Others See Us.

He was a man of middle age who
had been elected representative for
three successive terms from his con-
gressional district-not because of his
superior ability as representative of
the people, but because he had a pull
and the people couldn't help it. He
was now engaged in repairing his
fences with view to at least one
more feed at the public trough.
What a fine little follow he said,
patronizingly. His remark was ad-
dressed to the charming wife of an in
fuential constituent, who held in her
arms a boy of 2, who blinked gravely
at the visitor.

The most incomprehensible thing
to the American public, who are
not papas to duchess, is how
Americans, who have come almost
from conditions of actual poverty
and are simply Of the people can
make such asses of themselves when
their daughters marry into the nos
bility. Papa Zimmerman, who is
now father>in-laW to the Duke OF
Manchester is doing his utmost to
appear unconcerned and natural
with his new relatives, but his fool
ishness crops out at almost every
turn he makes. The Duke OF Man
chester holds a very honorable
name in English history, but the
man himself has done nothing
whatever to distinguish himself
from the most commonplace indi'
vidual and is in fact young boy,
with less than the average ability.
There are thousands of young
Americans who would have made
more acceptable suitor to Miss
Zimmerman than the young Duke
of Manchester, but probably the
sooner all that class is married off
the better it will be for the race.

What Does This Mean ?

A perusal of the history of rail
way transactions during the past
four years shows us this period
has been the most disastrous, from
financial standpoint, of any other
of the present decade. Under the
circumstances it would almost
seem as though the further devel-
opment or improvement of rail
way facilities must cease. Yet,
strange to say, many notable In
stances prove that the contrary is
true. In numerous instances,
frst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business
depression, have made very de-
cided advances, not only in the
improvement of the material con-
dition of the roadway itself, but
likewise, the equipment and SER
vice. And the public has been
great gamer by the public-spirit-
edness of the roads.
One of the most notable cases
of railway development is the
Nickel Plate Road, which seems
to have forged right ahead with
it's improvements and has exhibi-
ted an unrelenting determination
to give the public the best pos
sible facilities in spite of the
hard times. And how we'll this
corporation has succeeded in its
laudable efforts, the excellent con-
dition of the system bears ample
evidence. Yet the secret of this
success is obvious: the people
have responded very generously
to generous effort to give them
the worth of their money. That
is all. The peoples money has
enabled the road to better its ia
cilities in every respect; thus the
work has been OF a mutual and re-
ciprocal character. The liberal
patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved
facilities for travel, yet at the
same time, at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel
Plate Road is still engaged in
further efforts to serve the people
well. 1t has high-class road
way to begin with; most excel
lent equipment to end with, and
safe, fast and reliable service for
the delectation of its patrons.
All in all, it offers a most attract
i've menu to travellers bound east

If one may judge by the presence of
thousands of workmen at the grounds
of the Pan-American Exposition and
the wonderful progress they have
made during the last few months, the
Exposition will be opened in condi-

reason. have not been informed con-

vast enterprise l will state that the
Exposition grounds are In the northern
part of the city of Buffalo and have
an area of $50 acres. Buffalo, with its
100000 population, is preparing the
most artistic creation ever produced
for the purposes of an exposition. The
completed work will cost probably $1O,-
100000. exclusive of exhibits.

Football Men Have Not Been Away

cage and Wisconsin. DR.. NorthroD says:
Our boys have only been away from
TIE university four days during the ell
tire season. They went to Minnetonka
once on Wednesday night, and remained
there until the following Saturday morn
ing, thereby losing two days. The other
two days have also been lost during the
term through secret practice.

the four days absence would not be con-
s;dered unreasonable, and l fail to see
why 1t is any worse because they are
