CORPORATION WITH a SOUL.

IT IS A COMMON SAYING that cor
l porations have no souls. This, I'M
fortunately, is so nearly true that a
recent action by the directors Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway company
of New York stands out as sharply as
a lighted candle in a mine tunnel.
Hereafter the Metropolitan viii pension
all of its employees who are too old TO
work longer. At 20 years Of age retire
ment becomes compulsory, but men
may retire at s.. Those who have been
in the service for thirty-ive years are
allowed 20 per cent of their average
annual wages, 80 per cent for thirty
years and p per cent for twenty-five
years.
one OF the best features Of the sys-
TEN is that the men are not required
to contribute a cent to the pension
fund. Every year the directors will
appropriate from the gross earnings a
sum sufficient to meet all pension
claims. In a statement accompanying
the announcement Of the pension sys-
TEN the company says its only purpose
is TO preserve the future welfare of
aged and infrm employees and TO reg
ognize efficient and loyal service" It
is certain that the company will be
the gamer by the plan.
When the men understand that faith
full work is to be rewarded they viii
give faithful work There are men
who labor only for the money they re-
ceive, who try to give as little as pos
sible for the money paid them. In
such as these the pension system is
likely TO inspire loyalty TO their en-
ployers. for they viii know that with
out loyalty they cannot hope TO share
in the benefits to come. To the man
already loyal viii be given an added
incentive to faithfulness. and the re-
suits all around cannot fail to facili-
tate the business Of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company.
The example set is one worthy to be
followed by other corporations, es-
pecially those employing large num-
bers Of men whose earnings do not
average more than $50 or $50 a month,
as is the case with street railways. It
is practically impossible for them TO
save anything, and, when at an age
where the hand turns clumsily TO new
work, they lose their places. they find
themselves objects Of charity. With
a competency for old age in sight a
better quality Of men would enter the
service and conditions generally would
/ be very materially improved.

the position Of the Beers, although they
are by no means at their last gasp. For
more than two years they have been
lighting for their independence with all
he desperate vaior which fires the
blood of men who defend their homes.
The veldt is strewn with their c0rpses

MILES'S RETIREMENT.
DISMISSAL OF ARMY'S HEAD
SAID TO BE CERTAIN.
GENERAL BROOKE LIKELY TO SUCCEED
TO THE COMMAND-THE ADMIN
ISTRATIONS VIEW.
By The Associated Press)

CBy The Associated PressD
Washington, April 13.-The issues are fairly
joined between the Lieutenant-General and the
Secretary of War. The troubles which began
long ago under the Cleveland Administration
have finally reached so critical a stage that the
compulsory retirement of General Miles at an
early date is an open secret. and this is not
denied at the White House. In explanation of
President Roosevelt's position one of his close
friends who unquestionably speaks by author
ity. says:
The question is not personal one between
General Miles and Secretary Root. At present
Secretary Root has on his shoulders a heavier
burden than any other member Of the admins
tration. No man less strong could carry 1t at
all; and now, at the time when he requires the
most loyal support of every subordinate who
wishes well to the army and the nation, he has
to spend much of his strength in meeting the
opposition of the commanding general
If General Miles is retired it will be simply
because after patient trial President Roosevelt
feels that the highest ethical grounds his re-
tention would work grave and lasting injustice
to the army a whole.
AS some of General Miles's friends have said
that it would be unfair to retire him, it should
be said, in the first place. that he secured his
promotion to a brigadier generalship only
through the similar forced retirement of Gen
eraI Ord he himself being jumped over a num-
ber of his senior officers into the vacancy thus
created and, in the second place, that the only
action of the kind taken by President Roosevelt
since ne has been in Office in the case of
Colonel Noyes. who was compulsorily retired,
after reaching the age of sixty-two. on the rec
ommendation of General Miles.
In other words the general has himself recon-
mended and profted by the very action which
his friends fear may be taken at his ex-
pense II he should go out before General
Brooke is retired General Brooke, who is Cen
eral Miles's senior, both in service and IN age.
and who did gallant and distinguished work as
a volunteer in the Civil War, would undoubtedly
be put in his place as lieutenant general. as 1t
is known that the administration has been de-
sirous of recognizing General BroOke's long and
faithful service
General Brooke during the Civil War rendered
equally meritorious service with General Miles
General Brooke was the first TO obtain COM
mission and through the Civil War he retained
his advantage ending General Miles's senior.
After peace came General Miles promoted
over General Brooke's head. AS General Brooke
will necessarily hold the office for only a brief
period before his retirement for age. General
S NJ B. Young is likely to succeed General
Brooke and General Chaffee's promotion 10 fol-
low two years hence.

AN INTERESTING RELIC.

Fire Engine of WashfnEton's Time
Wanted by National Museum.
1t is believed to be likely that some time
before spring the city council OF Alexan-
dria. Va. will take steps to donate to the
National Museum the old fire engine OF the
now extinct Friendship Volunteer Fire
Company
This was one Of the first fire organiza-
tions established in this country. 1t was
incorporated and established in Alexandria
just after the revolutionary war by George
Washington. He was subsequently elect
ed its first fire chief.
The old Friendship company continued
in existence until 1876 many OF the old
citizens Of Alexandria who are still living
having served In this organization.
The first engine was brought either from
France or England, and went out of service
in 1849, In which year a new engine was
purchased from the Rogers Bros. Company
of Baltimore. The old engine was sold for
junk, but it's successor, built 1849, is II
anything, of greater interest and value
than it's predecessor, for the reason that,
In the first place, 1t Is an exact copy of the
old engine, and, secondly. because 1t was
specially constructed to meet local require
ments.
One of the curious sights of Alexandria
is the town pumps" made OF followed
out logs of wood. and standing on the street
corners. These town pumps" many Of
which were in use as far back as 1923 or
1880. and which for long time supplied the
citizens with water, have their spouts quite
near the ground. so that the citizens who
came after water could hang their buckets
on the same.
When Rogers Bros of Baltimore, in 1S4o.
built what was then "the new engine" they
received instructions to construct the
wheels rather small and the engine low In
order that 1t could be backed up under

Tricks of JOCKEYS,

From the Chicago Journal
Riding backwards" or cross motion -
of all the Jockeys tricks is the most efreo-
tive, and at the same time the most difficult
OF detection. 1t is simple trick, consisting
simply Of throwing the motion of the body
out OF time with that of the horse, and by
the sway of his body helping to lift him at
every bound. Another trick practiced by
Jockeys is called the leg lock-" and when
cautiously applied has more to do with the
result of the race than the uninitiated NAV
think. In effect. IT is one jockey holding
another back. and this done by the leg
lock-" Two horses are leading the field, one
perhaps only neck ahead of the other.
As they come into the straight they are
running close together. The leading jockey
sees his chance and draws closer TO his op-
ponent until the horses almost touch He
let's the second gain on him until the leg of
his opponent touches his leg from behind.
This is just what the little rascal wants
Let his opponent win IL he can. Every
lunge of the second horse pushes the first
one ahead. firing itself and easing the
flight of the other. until the final spurt.
when the horse thus aided easily comes in
the winner.
