RVNTNSr AHLISHED
<s-s
AGREEMENT MAY NOT LIST .ar
Thought Possible That Mt Least One
President viii Refuse to Abide
by the New Arrange
usSnt.

CHICAGO, Dec. n.-An agreement was
reached today by the executive oflcefs
and general passenger agents OF tie
Western roads regarding the time OF
trains between Chicago and st. Paul and
the Nj ssouri river gateways. A resolu-
ton was adopted providing that not later
than Dec. 81 the minimum time scheduie
between Chicago and Omaha shall oe
thirteen hours and thirty minutes, and
that not later than Dec. % the minimum
time schedule between Chicago and ST.
Paul and Minneapolis shall be twelve
hours ard fifty-fiVe minutes.
This puts the schedules between en- :
cago and Omaha back to the slow time
made under the old agreement, while the
time between Chicago and st. Paul IS
only twenty-five minutes faster than that
made under the old agreement.
While all the roads represented at the
meeting voted for the new agreement, yet
it is by no means certain that it viii be
carried out Some of the roads were rep
resented by subordinate officials and thelr
action has to be ratified by their presi-
dents.
1t is understood that the president OF
one of the roads objects to the agree
ment, and the prospect is that he VIII
repudiate it. He takes the position that
the principle of fixing the time schedule
of short lines to meet the conditions of
long lines is wrong and against public

Time Lost in Life.

I read an estimate prepared recently
by the British government with reference
to longevity among men in the army" said
a gentleman recently who is fond of
mathematics, "and [ do not care how
much men may figure on the frightening
of life'S average-the fact is, a fellow
doesn't live so long after all. Life is very
short when we come to think of it. 1t
is indeed, a fitful fever, to borrow the
smile of the poet, and the distance be-
tween the cradle and the tomb is the
span of ones hand. How much of a
mans life is devoted to the actual work
of accomplishing whatever his highest
aim may be? Did you ever think about
figuring on this problem? I have, be-
cause, I guess, happen to have a pen
chant for mathematics. But it is inter-
estng for other reasons. Of course, a fell
lew does nothing until after his twenty
first birthday. He must attain his major
ity before he enters upon the serious du-
ties of life. Before this time he is pass
ing the preparatory stages of life, and
theoretically, is eQuipping himself for
it's serious battles. Fifty years is the
life of the average man. although ~life's
general average figures down to a point
mrch below this.
Give the average man thirty years
beyond the period when he becomes Of
age / guess it would be safe to assume,
even in this rushing age. that the aver
age man will spend one hour and thirty
minutes in eating, allowing for the time
it takes to go to and from his meals
and in preparing for the table. We might
safely figure that he spends an average
of one hour and thirty minutes out of
every twenty-four in other minor ways

ANNUAL RUSH STARTS.
Many Out-Of-TOwn shoppers Coming
to ST. Paul.


to ST. Paul.
For the past few days the trains COM
ing into st. Paul from within radius of
greatest capacity The rush of Christmas
shoppers from out of town has begun
unusually early this year and already
the railroads are beginning to feel the
increase in passenger traffic.
Every year they seem to come earlier,
and this year, while the main rush has
not actually commenced, the crowds
have been coming for some time. The
depot is thronged with shoppers, and
many tired, parcel-laden travellers take
the local trains out every day, their faces
beaming with the relief of having the
Christmas shopping off their hands.
The business men who live outside Of
the city, but have their business here and
make the trip every day, are beginning
to realize, too that Christmas is coming,
for every night or so they are loaded
down with bundles the little commissions
from those at home. These men gaze at
each other in a meek manner, as if to
say, 'FWell, what can we do about it?'
At the hotels the clerks say that the
early morning rush is unprecedented. A
great many shoppers come every year,
but the favorite time until a few years
ago was the week Immediately preceding
Christmas. A little later they began to
arrive two weeks before the holidays,
but this year 1t was almost at the first
of the month that the travel began, and
it is probable that in a few years those
who desire to "avoid the rush" will have
to wait until the week before Christmas,
and then no doubt there will be a revo-
luton and the shoppers will wait until
the last few days as they did years ago.
However, the fact remains that the shop
pers are coming, the hotels and trains
are crowded, and the merchants, both
wholesale and retail, are in the thick of
their Christmas business and Christmas
is still nearly three weeks away.

Overstreet went to Powelrs still, nine

and both drew revolvers and commenced
firing. From what facts are at present
obtainable both men emptied their re-

Powell then went into the house and

now under construction between Rallston.
In Pawnee county, and Cushing, in

from Cushing to Chandler as soon as
the proper location of the line has been
completed.
The Santa Fe is building this line for
the purpose of getting Texas and Kan

line north to a connection with the
Southern Kansas branch near Moline,
Kan, and south to a connection with the
main line near Pauls Valley, l. T., the
Santa Fe will have line over which the
traffic between Texas and Kansas City
