The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad company is about to estab-
lish a pension and relief department,
the benefits to be shared by some
40, 900 employees. The benefciaries
will lie aided when sick OF incapacita-
ted and provided with the means Of
subsistence when retired from service.
Employees receiving not more than s35
a month must contribute 81 for the
first class and cents per month for
the second. From this the assess
ments rise through five classes to ss
and $3. IS q month for those receiving
more than 800 q month. 1t is thought
the assessments SO levied will soon
create sinking fund for pensions. If
not, the assessments will be supple
mented at the first by appropriations
from the company's treasury. 1t is
designed to retire faithful employees
on one-third salary. The Baltimore
& Ohio and Northwestern companies
have already begun to establish de-
partments similar to the one herein
outlined. The Illinois Central sells
stock to its employees on installments
thus providing for their future. 1t
IS pleasing to note the growing tend.

DR.. George Dana Boardman has
written a brochure on "The Golden
Rule" which is a timely contribution
t, that great law Of the Christ so
much under discussion at present
time. Discussing the origin OF the
Golden Rule he cites similar utter
ances by Confucius, lsocrates and
Hillel where this law Of love is stated
negatively. he shows that, in some
respects, this law Of life was a COM
monplace in both classical and Jewish
literature. The practical application
of the law of love to life is shown by
DR.. Boardman to be in the emphasis
which the Master put upon the word
'.Therefore." The context needs to
be studied in order to get his real
meaning. His law is an appeal to
Gods fatherhood, and whatever men,
as sons of God, and actuated by the
Fathers spirit. would have others 90
unto them, they are to do unto their
fellow men, as brothers. This revela-
tion of Christ's meaning grandly and
br BADLY brings out the doctrine Of the
fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man. There will always be
what DR.. Boardman calls strife be
tween "selsism aud otherism" until
men come to recognize that they are
the sons of one Father. The black
man is your brother. The yellow man
is your brother. All men are your
brothers. II you fail to realize this
brotherhood you deprive yourself Of
full sonship.

SQUIRE
And the Mayor As
Rivals.
Is Pretty Rough on New
Bremen Citizens.

Wapakoneta, o., Sept. 1I--(Spl)-
Quite unique state of affairs now ex-
lists at New Bremen, west of here. One
day last week f. w. Greber, country
squire, issued orders to all the saloon.
keepers of New Bremen that they must
close at IL O'Clock week days, and
keep securely locked of Sundays, and
that they must destroy all slot ma
chimes. Mayor Purpus did not think
favorably of this because he consider
ed Greber was attempting to assert
authority which belonged to the may
or, so in order to have hand in the
Sunday closing business himself, he
issued orders to all business places,
including drug stores, livery stables,
photograph galleries. cigaa' stores, etc.
This order strikes Greber as he is n
photographer, and Sundays were his
busiest days. DI1ast Sunday one baker
sold one loaf qpfl bread, and was fined
50 and costs. ,The squire and mayor
are rivaling' each other in the matter
and 1t is pretty hard on the New Bre-
men citizens. Even when they get out
of reach of the mayor they are still
in the jurisdiction of the squire. New
Bremen is the only town in the county
in which one cannot buy drinks on
Sunday-both soft and hard.

The President Of the United States
has two faithful servants who have
been in his service for nearly forty
years. They are not the servants OF
Mr.. Mckinley, but of the President,
and they have served every President

two veterans of the White House force

are represented in their lives. One

Thomas Pendel is the old assistant

was President. and he has been there
ever since. He was the last to say

President Mckinley had been shot.
Arthur Simmons, the big colored man

days of Lincoln. He was slave in

President Lincoln was told that an

that the man be admitted. On the rec

directed that Simmons be added to the
White House staff, and assigned to
duty with the butler. Simmons after

Presidents secretary. and he has re-

exception of the Harrison administra-

treasury building. Simmons was at

Physicians and surgeons have never

wound. The other day he located a
hard lump in the scalp and took a
razor and cut the place open. He
found the bullet and extracted it..
He has never been able to secure a

SECRETS
OF the Trade Were
Told
And Women Employees
Resigned"
A Story From the Rub
Der Trade.
The Use Of Rubber Tires on Fire
Engines.

1t is claimed that one of the large
the service of women in it's offices on
account of their being unable to keep
the knowledge of the business affairs
of the company to themselves. This
company is said to have prepared "A
bid for an $S5,000 contract, and, of
course, in preparing it the services Of
stenographer were required. The
stenographer was n young woman,
and naturally an $S5, 900 contract in
terested her very much. She couldn't
resist talking about it to one Of her
best gentlemen friends, and he, the
scamp, had another wcman friend
working In the Office of another COM
pany and he told her casually about
the big contract. In turn she told the
managers of her company, and he, be-
Ing a bidder for the same contract,
was tickled half to death over securing
the figures of the other company. He
regulated his bid accordingly, with
the result that his company secured
the contract The defeated bidder In
vestigated--and eventually men took
the places Of women in the company's
offices.
The use of rubber shoes on fire de-
partlnent horses in Akron is not un-
likely to be followed by the adoption
of rubber tires on fire department ve-
hicles. They are in use in New York.
The Sun quotes manufacturer as
saying:
"There9s a good big bunch of rub
ber tires in use in the fire department.
/ guess that In Manhattan and Brook
lyn boroughs you would find dozen
or more engines thus equipped, and
the new engines bought are thus pro-
vided. Then there are some hook and
ladder trucks with rubber tired wheels,
and a good many hose wagons.
"a fire engine is heavy, the wheels
are big, and they must have big tires
which cost money. A set of rubber
tires suitable for use on fire engine
costs from $400 to $3.50. There is no
question about the advantages of their
uSb lcIt. WI tiiSs uh VIZ
CINE goes less often to the repair shop,
and so Is more continuously in COM
mission And II you should happen
to see rubber tired engine go around
q corner, or get into or out of the
tracks of street railroad, you'd think
the advantage gained there was
enough to pay for the tires. The en-
gine doesn't swing or slide. but 1t fol-
lows true and the driver knows just
where he can go and what he can do
with the machine when he's under
way.
II should say that 1t would be pro-
fitable for the city to use these tires
on its engines at practically any cost,
but 1t wouldn't surprise me to learn
that, costly as they are, what with the
machinery carried and all. the use
of the tires results in an actual econ
omy."
