roads have shared in the prosperity
which came with the restoration or
protection and has remained ever since
is shown I'M the preliminary report on
the income account Of railways In the

ceding year were $1,313, 61O,11S. Oper-
ating expenses for the fiscal year ag-
gregated 1914, 142, or $5,025 per
mile of line. The net earnings OF the
roads embraced In this advance report
were $523, 1858, 912 for 1900, or $73, no.
TAT more than they were for 1899. In
come from investments and other
sources amounting to $60,675, TOO was

Not long ago a grave was dug IN a
Baltimore cemetery, and the body of
Chas. Passow was lowered to its last
resting place. 1t was not a lonesome
grave. Near it was another pile Of
earth by the side of which Chas. Pas
sow knelt and prayed every day for
six months. Love for his wife was
the one absorbing passion of his life.
For her he wrested great fortune
from trade. He hOnOred her and re-
spected her. If ever two people de-
served long life and continued happi-
ness 1T would seem that they did. But
suddenly he found that his money was
nothing. 1t couldn't purchase health,
the 1uxuries 1t could provide failed to
tempt a dying woman, his wealth
didn't delay the visit Of the grim spec
ter a second. And SO he paid tribute
at the grave of a good woman. When
1t rained the drops fell on the bare
head of a man beside pile of earth.
When the sun beat down it touched
the face Of a man who was praying.
He wasn't crazy. 1t was not worship,
but tribute to her who had ennobled
his life. He died of broken heart,
but there was a smile on the dead face.
It is right to desire money, to work
for it, plan and do all things honorable
for it. Yet it is we'll to remember that
to be rich is not always to possess dol
lars. Chas. Passow died poor because
the thing that he coveted-life for the
one most dear to him-was denied him.
| Health and contentment coupled with
the stimulus of ambition, are In them
| selves fortune.
