"BROTHER TO THE OK"
Something that One Farmer from I'LL
nois Was Not.

A reporter on the Washington Star was
out for news recently and came upon a
well-dressed Illinois farmer in the hotel
corridor apparently quite at home In his
surroundings. The hotel clerk suggested in
an amiable way that the farmer was a good
person to interview. He proved to be, and
this is the story:
do l." he said when he had settled for
a talk look as If / had the emptiness of
ages in my face?"
The reporter did not reply. because he
thought the man was going on with his re-
marks.
81 ask you do II" he repeated.
The reporter FASTENED to assure him that
as far as he could see he did not.
do seem to be bearing on my back the
burden of the world?"
"You carry 1t very lightly if you do"
smiled the reporter.
would you say that I was dead to rap
ture and despair, thing that grieves not
and that never hopes?'
Not unless L was a liar" ventured the
reporter.
''would you think that anybody had
Ioosened and let down my jaw"
The reporter merely shook his head.
"And has anybody slanted back my brow,
that you can notice?" the man went on
Not in the least.
"Or has anybody's breath blown out the
light within my brain?
Never blow" said the reporter.
''Do I strike you as stolid and stunned.
brother to the ox?"
Anything but that" admitted the re-
porter But why are you asking me all
these questions?"
.I'n tell you. I raised on my farm in
Illinois last year 10000 bushels Of wheat,
u 900 bushels of oats. 10000 bushels of corn
and Loco head of cattle, to say nothing of
other stuff and stock, and I'm just back
from a European trip. Now, what L want
to know is If Markham knew what he was
talking about when he wrote The Man
with the Hoe?'"

over all such matters as might thereafter
be conferred on the Circuit Court. .. If
there is no signature of the trial Judge to
the finding of facts and conclusions of law
stated thereon, the same must be treated
as general finding, and the failure OF the
judge 10 sign the same is no ground for

1t is probable that forty-fve miles of road
will be built which will give the Wheeling
& Lake Erie entrance into Pittsburg, and
in this connection the report is revived
that II there is not consolidation of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie and the Wabash,
a very close traffic alliance will be formed.
making a strong combination. The Wa
bash has 2,321 miles of track, nearly five
hundred locomotives and 1880 cars. 1t
extends from Buffalo to Kansas City, with
lines leading to Ottumway, Des Moines.
Keokuk. Quincy and Omaha, and line
from Toledo to Peru, and they are now
about to build line from Montpelier to
point on the Toledo and Chicago. On this
great system some of the finest and fastest
trains in the country are running between
Buffalo and Kansas City, and Chicago and
st. Louis and Kansas City. Some of the
fastest speed records ever made in the
country have been recorded with regular
through trains on this road between Lo-
gansport and st. Louis and Chicago and
Kansas City. The business of the road
both I'm freight and passenger traffic, has
been increasing wonderfully of late, and
its success financially and otherwise is
attracting the attention of financiers. The
Wheeling & Lake Erie extends from Toledo
to Bellaire, o., with a branch to Steuben-
vile. The company controls 249 miles of
track, eighty locomotives and about six
thousand cars, and reaches some of the
most valuable coal beds in the State of
Ohio. Only forty-five miles separates the
w. & L. T. from Pittsburg, and 1t Is said
that line with very easy grades. TO con-
meet Pittsburg with the main line near VAL
ley Junction, o., has been surveyed.

Miss Mary Reed, whose name appears on
the programme of the Ecumenical Confer
ence is not in this country. but is working
among the lepers of India. Miss Reed is
herself a leper. She discovered spot upon
her arm during a visit TO her home in this
country some years ago and surprised and
grieved her mother and friends by her sud-
den determination to return TO India and
By the distant manner in which she babe
them goodbye. 1t was not until she had
gone that they knew the cause OF her sud
den coldness and departure. Miss Reed
consulted eminent physicians in London,
who pronounced the disease a dangerous
type of leprosy and assured her that it
would spread rapidly. She went at once to
India. Some of Miss Reeds friends who
believed in faith cure determined that
through that means her life should be
saved. The spot remains. but has never
grown larger. She lives alone, but her
friends visit at her home. The dishes and
utensils that she uses are never employed
by them, however.

PLANNING LARGE THINGS
THE PENySYLvANIAM MAY CARRY OUT
AUSTIN CORBIN's PROJECT.
The wabash Company May Get Into
Pfttsburg by Purchase of the w. &
l.. f.. or q Traffic Alliance.

That the Pennsylvania Railroad is plan
ming great project. which, If carried out.
may revolutionize transatlantic travel and
change the whole course of traffic between
New England and the South and West. is
more than a possibility, says the New
York Herald. The greatest secrecy is
maintained by the officials of the road as
TO the details of the plan. What is in view
is an all-rail route from the principal cities
of the country--all now reached by the
lines of this systemic terminus at
steamship piers at Montauk point. There Is
also In projection connection with lines
from Boston and the East. via Long island
and Staten island to the Pennsylvania
Railroad near Elizabeth. This is no new
scheme. 1t was born in the brain of the
late Austin Corbin, back in the early
eighties. He proposed to ferry passengers
from the West and South to terminus of his
railroad at the foot of Thirty-ninth street,
South Brooklyn. and then to carry them
in two hours the length of Long Island to
piers at FIT. Pond bay. But for Corbin's
matchless genius and energy and his repu-
tation for turning hazy projects into gold,
the business world would have laughed at
the proposal. AS 1t was, Corbin was left
to try il alone. For several years he kept
men at work building the great ferry sta
ton and constructing a long cut for the
railroad. The earth taken up filled whole
blocks of low land. Then the project
languished, and for a time was almost for
gotten.
Sidney Corbin came out with proposal
TO build fleet steamers to fly the American
flag and carry the government mails and
passengers from FIT. Pond bay to Milford
Haven, Wales. At the time even the In
man line steamers. owned for the most
part by stockholders of the Pennsylvania
road, were forced to fly the English flag.
Undoubtedly 1t was the agitation started
by COrbin at this time that resulted in the
modification of the laws and brought about
the construction of the ocean greyhounds
of the American line of the present day
Now, as then, these steamers are owned
for the most part by stockholders of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, men who at the time
believed in Corbin's plan for shortening
the voyage across the Atlantic. These
men are not now hampered as was Corbin
then. Conservative management OF the
Pennsylvania road, with the constant ap-
plication of much of the income to per-
manent improvements, instead of dividend.
has brought the giant corporation into a
position where IL has a financial strength
never before attained by an American
railroad company. The Pennsylvania now
has the power TO make the dreams of Cor
bin reality.

players. seeing the game was over. became
careless and allowed six runs TO come in.
There was strong wind from the north.
which favored the pitchers and prevented
any long hits. The playing OF the Wabash
team was ragged throughout the game.
Except In the ninth inning the work OF the
Butler players was errorless. Both or Wa
bashs pitchers were Knocked out OF the
box, while the pitching OF McGauehey was
the feature OF the game. In the third In
inning, with the bases full. he struck cut
three men I'm succession During the game
he struck out ten men. and only seven hits
were secured of him. The throwing OF
Cunningham TO second was another feature
of the game, cutting or six men. Other
Butler men who did especially good work
were Darnall Anthony and Gillum. Ragan

trespass suit brought by Duncan Dewar
against Charles NJ Robson, but withheld
judgment until to-day at p. m. Dewar
has property near Fall creek and Newly
Oval. and on Sunday last Robinson, G..
F. Logsdon. and a man named Strong,
came upon the property while the owner,
his daughter, and several friends were
there picking flowers. Dewar claimed to
have ordered them off the premises, but
instead of going a fight ensued. Dewar
bore a number of marks on his face as evil
dence of the battle and Robinson had two
or three scratches. There was indirect evil
dence that Dewar knocked Robinson down
and kicked him.

and battery and Logsdon will also defend
for trespass. Dewar claims to have been
greatly annoyed by persons breaking his
fences and entering upon his property.
