and among the different interests
which furnish supplies. In other
words, the railroads expended through
out the country enough to give every
man, woman and child about $12
apiece. That one item alone gives
some slight notion of what splendid
distributors of wealth the railroads
are.
These mountainous sums were
earned by transporting GOT .27s,121
passengers and 1,Os9 1885, ,440 tons of
freight. The list of passengers is
equal to the population of China. the
United States, the British Isles, France
and Germany combined. If the freight
total were reduced to men, putting the
average weight of a man at $50
pounds, it would be equivalent to
las, ,229. .6S6,000 men. In other words.
the tonnage weight Of freight for the
one year very largely exceeded the
combined weight of the entire popula-
tion Of the globe.
These. few figures will afford the
public some glimmering of the work
accomplished by our various railroad
systems. There is no other line of en-
terprise in our country which involves
SO much capital, SO many men and
such tremendous aggregate of general
business.

Horse Does a wateh.poa stunt.

A prominent citizen of Gridley. Cal,
has horse that does excellent SER
vice as a watchdog. But for the won
derful intelligence and faithfulness of
the animal which occupies a corral
next to the chicken house. a thief
would have made his escape with q
batch of valuable poultry.
During the night the proprietor was
awakened by a racket in the henyard,
and, on taking cautious look. saw in
the dim light marauder coming out
of the henhouse with sack. At the
same timc the horse with a vicious
squeal, went toward the thief and,
wheeling about began to Kick at him.
The thief dropped the sack of chick
ems and ran, with the horse after him,
the horse actually biting out mouth

the corral fence. The bag contained

Railroads as Factors
in the Business World

Railroading holds a position Of i'm
portance in this country which few
people realize. AS a great distributor
and circulator of wealth the 1928!
miles of railroad found in the United
States are absolutely without rival.
In the popular mind railroad corpor-
alton is always associated with the
idea of abundant means. There are
not many, however. who pause to cal
culate the part the various railroad
systems play in economic affairs of
the country, says the Baltimore Amer
lean.
When 1t is realized that last year
the gross receipts of all the systems
amounted to $3.50 .526.037, some slight
idea can be had of the enormous activ-
tiles which their operation represents.
OF this amount enough was available
after paying operating expenses to
devote $156.746.536 to dividends and
leave a balance of $S7,764,7S1 to be
carried to the surplus account. This
available fund was enough to give al
most every man, woman and child in
the United States So.
The operating expenses mounted up
to over $1,OOO,0OO,OOO. That colossal
sum was distributed among the multi
tude of employees, among the various
factories which provided equipment

field, KY. while drilling for well on
the property of Jim Mcclure in the
suburbs of Leitchfield. suddenly had
the bottom fall out of the well into a
circular subterranean cavern. The
well was dug to the depth of 2S feet,
when the bottom fell into the cavern,
which is about forty by sixty feet and
from eight to ten feet high. There are
two passages leading from this cham.
ber, one running east and one west.
A part of the eastern passage has
been explored to the distance of $50
yards, while in this passage there are
two divergent passages unexplored. In
the western passage, which takes a
declivity of about thirty feet, large
chamber is reached, 80 by $50 feet

There are two unexplored passages

ever, are unable to find any mean

is because some OF the letters have

Fred Campbell of Mainadieu, Cape

Mr.. Campbell was out in small
boat. He was not very far from land
when he noticed huge sea monster
approaching him. Not wishing to en-.
counter it, Mr.. Campbell bent himsel:
to the cars and tried to get In shore
before the monster reached him.
The whale gained on him. and he
soon recognized that his efforts to
reach shore ahead of his pursuer were
futile. His means of def f,nse were not
OF much account. but he made good
use OF what was at hand.
The monster opened his Jaws wide
and tried to swallow the boat, man
and all. Mr.. Campbell reached over
with an car and for a few minutes
succeeded in keeping the whale
away.
When it looked as though Campbell
was doomed. a small boat hove in
sight. and its occupants noticing the
mans perilous position, fastened to
his aid. The whale then disappeared.

cutions of his fellow citizens, who
charged him with the commission of
five atrocious murders. though there
was not a shadow of proof against
him. The poor teacher was forced to
resign one school after the other, lost
his little property and saw his wife
and children turn against him, until
finally, desperate, he cut his throat.
simultaneously with the news of his
suicide the Swiss police informed the
authorities that they had caught the
