agreement VIII Not Hold.

The chances are that the anti-pass
agreement entered into by the roads run
ming between Chicago and st. Louis will
be short-lived. Two of the most impor-
tant reads between the two points have
decided that they viii not refuse to ex-
tend the courtesies of the road to officials
of the other lines, and of course If they
give passes they will expect others in ex-
change The Vanderbilt and Pennsylva-
MIA systems have been fighting for an
enti-pass agreement for long Time but
Il looks now as though the entire agree
ment would fall through.

REPORT OF IOWA r. r. COMMISSION
Absorption of Smaller Roads by
Larger Onez Does No Harm

The annual report Of the Iowa railroad
commissioners which was made public
this week, after referring to the progress
as follows:
1.-THE absorption of the smaller lines by
the larger ones will be, on account of the
safeguards provided by the railway laws
erwise to the people of the state. It has
had the effect not only of placing the
weaker lines in a higher class, thereby
reducing the maximum freight rates pro-
posed by the board. but also of making
a continuous mileage rate in case of ship
ments that previous to this absorption
had to bear the burden Of Two Or more
short distance or local rates

A Boys Thought of Life.

l never heard of boy who
dill not like to live and who did
not intend to make the best Of
life. Life stretches out before
the boy like a new path IN the
woods, leading to he knows not
what of discovery and delight.
He has long thoughts, happy
thoughts, as we'll as funny
thoughts dummy to others) Of
he is going to do and to be.
First. it is usually an engineer
or a soldier, then it is farmer
or a merchant, then it is a doctor
or a lawyer, and in the end it is
something else. He is happy
boy who early finds out what he
was made 10 be and what he
would like 70 be, and the two
are one. Such a boy was the
musician Handel, playing away
on his dumb spinet in the attic
when every one else was IN bed.
Such a boy was the artist Tur~
ner, using his fathers shaving
brush to paint pictures. Such
a boy was the Inventor Watts.
watching the effect of steam on
the cover Of the kettle
A boys thought Of life is
more or less mistaken thought.
He thinks it is going to be very
easy to be what he wishes and
to do what he likes, whereas it
is very hard. be thinks life.
means drifting with the current.
whereas it means pulling against
it He thinks that the path from
the school house to the White
nouse, from the pin counter to
the ownership of a department
store. from the writing of a com
position to the authorship of a
talnouse book, is smooth aud
straight, whereas 1t is rough and
steep.
But what if he does hnd that
life is harder shan h. thought?
What Is a boy good for unless he
has pluck? What are all his
knocks and bumps and falls and
bruises for if not to teach him
what to expect later IN life ? If
every boy would only make up
his mind to become all hat he
might be, wha: men the world
would soon see! The boys
thoughts are all right. But the
boys will is the winds will. :"
That is the mischief. The boy
must learn to harness his will to
his wish, and the wish will move
on to fulhlment.
For, after all. the boys
thought OF life is. in the main,
true. Lite is good and beautl>
full if we only make it SO. Not
few boyhood dreams of lite
come true, and more than true.
And other dreams that do not
come true have their places
taken by something better.
"a hen I was 2 how intended 70
be farmer. | am not farmer
but | have a garden instead, and
| am glad it Is not a farm. You
may not become what now you
would like to be Bur think
your long and happy thoughts
about life, and DEAN your happy
dreams, and then 90 to work and
make them true. and IN the end
you will not be dIsappointed.-

WORST HORSE ON RECORD.
Lincoln Thought He Was Not Even
Fit to Draw a Hearse to
the Cemetery.

Lincoln used to be fond of telling a
of a lawyer in a western town who de-
sired the nomination for county Judge
saws the San Francisco Argonaut. On
the morning preceding the evening on
which the county convention was to
meet he applied to the livery stable
keeper in his village for a horse and
buggy in which to drive to the county
town, 16 miles distant. where the con-
vention was to be held. ''Give me the
best and the fastest horse you have.
Sam said he, $50 that / will have time
to go around and see the boys before
the convention comes in The livery
man, however. was supporting a rival
candidate, and gave the lawyer horse
that outwardly appeared perfect, but
which broke down entirely before half
the journey was completed, SO that
when the candidate arrived the conven-
ton had adjourned and his rival had
been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that it
was useless to resent the trick played
upon him. he said to the owner: "Look
here, Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market. You
expect to sell him to an undertaken for
a hearse horse, don't you? We'll, it's
time wasted. I know from his gait
that you have spent days training him
to pull hearse. but he'll prove dead
failure. Why. he's SO slow he couldn't
get a corpse to the cemetery in time
for the resurrection"
