The half rates give more trouble to the
passenger men than the passes, and they
have a scalpers knife out for them. You
would be surprised" said a well-known
passenger man, ito see the number of re-
quests we have for half-rate tickets. Ship
pers, friends, charity organizations, poll
tcians and all come to us and make their
demands. and if it is not possible for us
TO grant what they want there is row.
The other day a shipper by our line walked
into the office of the commercial agent and
made request for half rate for himself,
wife and two children. Our freight man
said to him that he would look and see
just how much money he had paid the road
during the month before he made the re-
quest on the passenger department. for the
transportation. My recollection is that he
had paid us 1910 for freight. and the trans
portation for which he asked was worth
ST. OF course he was refused but the
trouble is he had been in the habit of Sc
curing such favors, and the chances are
that he will be enemy of the road for
ever because he was refused. 1t Is bad
policy to give q man half rate or a pass
unless you pretty certain that you can
do the same thing every time he travels
over your road and this truth is largely
responsible for the present trouble which

ton experience in obtaining Ii"

laced giants bent upon their destruction
The young braves toiled for many moons
upon the defenses and completed their
task just as their scouts brought word
that the giants were coming in numbers
like the stars In the heavens and not one
OF whom was not taller than two horses
one upon the other. Then a great cloud o.
dust obscured the sunlight and through IL
was beheld for che first time the red
faced warriors. The squaws and papooses
were brought together in the center of the
great mounds and the sky was filled with
arrows and spears till 1t was almost
as black night. Three times the sun went
down across the river while the warriors
fought to the death for mastery. On the
last night, as they rested upon the dead
bodies of their comrades, within the walled
mounds, the giants made an onslaught,
killing many and taking the rest prisoners
Ihen II was that the speaker passed from
earth. The remainder Of the tribe was
taken East to the abode of the giants.
Since that time almost a million moons
have passed TIE giants returned again
and brought with them the seeds of the for
est which they scattered with the winds.
The trees soon sprang up and that was
how the great mounds become covered with
the trees now their SUBMITS.
This story and the manner in which IL
was given is regarded by scores in the
camp as the most remarkable revelation
ever handed down from the spirit world"
LII Is now the chief topic at the camp and
IS told 10 every visitor who will listen to
the tale OF the building of the mounds by
the children OF the prairies.

FEW DISTURBERS LEFT

Agitated-PersonaIN Notes.

Since the first move of the Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt interests TO take up large
blocks of the securities of competing and
other lines for the purpose OF exercising
sufficient influence in management to in
sure profitable traffic operation and at the
same time prevent some of these interests
from being a Notwithstanding factor, Van
derbilt or Pennsylvania directors have
taken places on the boards of the Baltimore
& Ohio, the Norfolk & Western, the Ches-
apeake & Ohio and the Lake Erie & West
crn. besides number of the New England
roads. If such plans have been or are TO be
carried out in relation to the Monon it
would not greatly surprise the railroad
world. The Chicago. Indianapolis & Louis
vile operates $50 miles of railway, includ-
ing its branches and lines over which it
has trackage rights. It's capital stock
amounts to sl5.5OO,OO0, and it has funded
debt outstanding of upwards of $4,000. 0G0.
The Morgan interests are largely repre-
scented on the board. and Volney T. Malott.
receiver of the Nandalia, is a member OF
the board.

China's Big Debt.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.

New York Letter In Philadelphia Press.
International financiers have been max
ing inquiries respecting the debt owed
by China represented by bonds which have
been placed with foreign governments.
They find that the total foreign debt OF
China is almost exactly $300000,000 and a
good deal of it has been placed I'm London,
although how much is not definitely
known. China has borrowed, 1t is believed,
much of this money since the loans have
been comparatively recently made for the
purpose of purchasing the best of modern
munitions of war and ammunition, so that
ii would appear that Europe and Great
Britain have actually been furnishing
China with the money with which she has
prepared herself for what many believe to
be the inevitable conflict between modern
civilization and her own.
If there should come disastrous war with
China it would be a serious financial ques-
ton what would become of this debt, for
it is said here that If China is willing to
defy the civilized nations and repudiate her
treaties to drive the foreigners out she
would not hesitate at repudiating her debt.
If she should repudiate this foreign debt
the effect undoubtedly would be disastrous,
serving greatly to complicate the none
tary difficulties in European markets al
ready considerably complicated by reason
of the anarchy or the actual state of war
whichever it may be that now prevails in

currency and credit at home and abroad:
no retrogade movement where our flag has
once been raised; no 16-to-1 insanity: no
empty factory or machine buildings: no
empty dinner pals. No pull down your hat
shouters. There will be patriotism, pros
per1ty, plenty, and gladness in the hearts
or all classes in our country.
While Mr.. Burke is delivering his little
campfire speeches let him make a note Of
the interest the rising generation is taking
in our flag. Six million patriotic little citi-
zens attending our public schools salute
and doff their hats to the flag every MORN
ing during school These children are
from almost every known nationality and
political faith: still, they are not ashamed to
''off with their hats TO the flag" or TO a
man who holds the flag, or to a commander
who has fought to uphold 1t and keeps IL
from being disgraced.
In ten years there have been over Us. 600
flags raised in our country over school
buildings and grounds. All political or
CARNATIONS gave helping hand, and when
the flag was unfurled from the crown of
the staff every mothers son of them dotted
their hats, with hearty cheers and huZzahs.
The good work is still going on, and will
continue when Mr.. Burke is forgotten.
In conclusion let me say TO one and all
who love their country and flag:
Off with your hats as the flag goes by,
And let every heart have its say;
You're man enough with tear in your eye,
You will not wipe away.

God so he says they had kept the divine
commandments according to verse six,

words and they had believed he was glori-
fed in them. They must have been saved
nevertheless he prayed that they might
be sanctified. Rev. G.. II. Fowler delivered

Brooklyn Eagle Qnd. Dem).
The Eagle is published in Brooklyn, and
not edited in heaven. 1t is printed for the
quick, and neither for the dead nor the
translated. 1t, therefore, has to make a
choice, on earth, between the things of
earth and. in time, among the problems of
time. 1t likes what one party was better
than what either party is, and far better
than what one of them has become. Its
use of parties leads ii to regard them as
exceedingly common carriers of the coun-
try in certain directions. Bryanized De-
mocracy would carry the country TO Silver
and to Surrender. The Eagle prefers to
move toward the Gold Standard, which is
honesty. and toward Expansion, which is
the infusion of Americanism among peo-

Fighting the Curb scaIpers.

The general passenger agents of lines
entering Cleveland. the legitimate brokers
and the police, have commenced a fight
against the scalpers and curbstone ticket
operators who infest that city on Sundays,
and other times of big crowds This move
ment started last Sunday and will be con-
tinued during the summer. One arrest was
made but il developed that he was one of
the regular brokers of the city and he was
released after brief confinement in the
city prison. The crowd that the crusade is
aimed al has been doing some rather tricky
things for the last few months. II has been
found that the operators are not brokers of
Cleveland in good standing, but are scalp
ers i'm the true sense of the word. They
come there from all over the country for a
single Sunday. or a single big day, and are
then up and away again. The police have
decided TO break up the practice and have
stationed ten special policemen at con-
venient places where they can best pre-
vent irregular practices. This is gratifying
to railroad men. IL insures peace to
their passengers.
