THE MODEL.

At second Hand.

A Highland laird who could not af-
ford to keep his own piper was accus-
toned to employ the village piper when
he had company.
On one occasion, through some over
sight, Donald had not been given his
preliminary glass Of whisky before he
began his performance. Accordingly,
he found his bagpipe in most refrac-
tory temper. The laird asked him what
was the matter with it, and Donald re-
piled that the leather was so hard that
he could do nothing with it.
"What will soften it?" asked the anx-
ious laird.
"Och, just whuskyv' said Donald.
A tumbler Of whisky was at once
brought, which Donald Immediately
drank.
"You rasca.y' said the laird. "Did
you not say it was for the bagpipes?''

THE RAILROAD COMBINE.

A corporation has been organized
in New Jersey with capitalization
of $4O0,OOO,OOO, known as the
Northern Securities Company, with
James J. Hill as president, which
has aquired by purchase control
ing interest in the stocks of the
Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railroad companies for the
purpose of combinding the interests
of these great properties. The full
purpose is not very clearly defined
as yet-just exactly what the
combination is intended to effect.
Under the laws of Minnesota COM
peting and parallel lines of railroad
connot be consolidated, and Gov.
Van SAINT announces his intention
to prevent the combination if pos
sible, and the theory that it is a
consolidation to all intents and pur-
poses. The attorney general will
take the matter under advisement
at once and take such actio.- as the
conditions warrant. There is a
diversity of opinion as to the intent
and effect of this movement, and
the HERALD very frankly says that
until it gets more information than
the mere speculations or opinions
of newspapers it will refrain from
discussing the matter. If it is a
movement to consolidate these two
great properties as to make indie
pendent action or competition i'm
possible-to increase earnings by
either poorer service or increased
rates, it is altogether bad and
should be prevented at all hazards
if possible. 1t is clearly Gov.
VanSant's duty to investigate and
act vigorously upon the results of
such investigation.

Measuring the Heat of the Body

Measuring the Heat of the Body.
By means Of an ingenious instrument
invented by DR.. Lombard of New York
it is ascertained that a woman's body
is warmer than that Of man by about
three-fourths of degree and some
times as high as one degree, while in
no instance has the warmth Of a mans
body been found to be greater than
that of a female. It is also definitely
ascertained that children are decidedly
warmer than adults, the difference be-
ing about degree F., the younger the
child the greater the diversity. A diff
ference in the heat of the sides Of the
body is discovered to be an invariable
law. The left side of the head and ex-
tending downward to the base of the
neck is much hotter than the right side.

A FEW QUERIES.

Shall Sank Centre abandon all
effort to have a Board OF Trade!
Sank Centre needs new char
ter. Can the winter be more pro-
fitably spent than in pertectlng
one for submission next spring?
A little vigorous pencil work and
reasonable cooperation landed the
State dairyman's Association meet
ing. Wouldn't it be good idea
to culture such operation in other
directions?
Good roads leading into the city
are permanent indications to travel
this way. Wouldn't 1t pay to
have more of them?
The time is approaching when
the farmers who have wood and
hay for sale will throng the city
market. Wouldn't it be a good
plan to provide a comfortable place
for them while in the city. 1t
would be a great convenience to
our citizens to know where to find
the men who have these commod-
tiles for sale.
1t is distressing to observe the
ladies on the street compelled to
dodge from one side of the walk to
the other and raise their skirts from
the walk to avoid disgusting pools
of spittle. When will the city
council arise to an appreciation of
the outrage and enact an ordinance
prohibiting splitting on the streets
and in other public places?

The Duke Of Marlborough Is believed

painting in the world which was at
one time the property of the first Duke
Of Marlborough. The picture is known
as the "Blenheim Madonna" painted
by. Raphael in 1907 and now valued at
no less than 100000. 1t is eight feet
high and represents the Madonna and
Child seated on throne, with a figure
of st. John the Baptist on the left and
that Of st. Nicholas Of Bari on the
right. Its almost fabulous value is
due to the fact that it is one Of the
best preserved Of the artists works in

REPORT ISRBADY
.lSTHMlAN CANAL COMMISSION
ALPHABETICALLY FAvoRs THE
NICARAGUA ROUTE. ~
TWO REASONS THEREFOR

Difference Of $e4,ooo,ooo In the EstI-
mated Cost Of the Two Canals,
While Legal and Diplomatic Difficult
ties Block the Purchase Of the Pan.
anna Property-AIIesed Text Of the
New Canal Treaty With England,
Washington, Nov. 19.-The isthmdan
canal commission has signed it's report
and it will be handed to President
Roosevelt this week.
It will follow the same lines as the
preliminary report of last winter, and
with important changes in the estd-
mates.
The estimated cost Of the Nicaragua
canal in the preliminary report was
5000, 540,0 900. The final report shows a
saving of about $12,000,000.
The site of the big dam has been
changed from San Carlos to Conchuda,
and in this item alone there is a saving
Of between $4,000, 900 and $4,000,OO0.
The final report emphati cally in
dorses the Nicaragua route as prefera-
BILE to the one at Panama. This selec-
ton is made for two general reasons.
The physical condition and geograph-
ical position of the Nicaragua route
are regarded as superior. The lack
of definite proposition and Legal and
diplomatic difficulties in the way Of the
transfer of the Panama scheme to the
United States are considered insur-
mountable. A full investigation OF
both the Nicaragua and Panama routes
will be shown.
Long correspondence between the
commission and Panama men will be
given in full, and estimates of the cost
of buying the Panama property rights
are made from a long statement fur
nished by M. Hutin as to the Panama
company's estimates of the value of it's
property.
This correspondence will show the
Panama men never made definite
proposition, and will sustain the con-
tention that their sole object appar-
emily was to gain time by delaying
final action by the United States upon
the canal question.
As to the value of what the Panama
company has in the way of work done,
machinery and material on hand and
concessions held, the only estimate the
commission has been able to get is
that of $109, 100000.
The cost of completing the Panama
canal is put at $144,000,000.
This makes total for the Panama
ditch of 1858, O00, 900, or $64,000, 900 in
favor of the Nicaragua route.

engine of the through freight was

freight cars were telescoped.
~ Charles Basche was conductor OF

neither he nor his men were at fault
in the matter, and that the wreck was
caused purely by the carelessness OF
the special trainmen who failed to flag
