BIG SAVING PROMISED.
BY the Use of Ignite on Freight
Locomotives

BY the Use of Ignite on Freight
Locomotives.
st. Paul, Feb. 23.-The Northern
Pacific railroad yesterday made a
trial of burning Ignite on it's mail
line with the view Of adopting lig-
nlte-burning locomotives for freight
service if the plan proves practicable.
The test. which was made under the
supervision Of C. J. Wilson, super
intendent of the Northern Pacific
line in North Dakota, was most sue
cessful. The new Ignite burner
which as been in use for the past few
months on the Bismark, Washburn Il
Great Falls railroad, was borrowed
for the occasion. 1t was attached to
one Of the regular through freight
trains Of the Northern Pacific at
Mandan and sent through to the end
Of the division, which is at James
town, a total distance Of 1OG miles.
The actual running time was So
hours, which was covered at an
average rate of twenty miles an hour,
which is considered fair speed for
freight transportation. The amount
of fuel consumed was seventeen tons.
Taking this test as a basis of com
putation, the Ignite coal will afford
a saving Of from 25 to so per cent. on
the cost of fuel This successful
trial is very suggestive, if it can De
shown that the record made yester-
day can be performed in regular ser
vice it means a complete revolution
in the type of locomotives now in use
in the region tributary to the Ignite
mines. This region includes all OF
North Dakota eastern Montana and
western Minnesota. 1t is possible
that the engines now in service can
be so remodeled as to burn the new
fuel.

Suspension of Sentence.

One of the most valuable means for
the reformation of first offenders is the
suspension of sentence. The power of
the court to suspend sentence when
there is no statute on the subject is up
held In some cases but denied in others,
as shown in note in IA l.. r. A. 2s5.
But in New York, at least, that qnes-
tion has been settled by statute express.
ly authorizing the court to suspend
sentence in its discretion. Good judges
speak very highly of the value of this
provision as reforming means. One
who has yielded to sudden temptation,
or been overcome by evil influence, but
whose character has not been generally
bad, may Cd conviction be placed by the
Judge on his good behavior by snspen-
sion of sentence. The convict knows
that he is under the surveillance Of the
court, and subject to imprisonment at
any time If his conduct is not satistac.
tory. This gives him one of the strong
est possible inducements to bea law
abiding citizen. 1t Is doubtful ii there
is any other possible means of aiding
the reformation of many first offenders
SO effective as this simple process of
holding them under suspended sen.

Power Of The Trust Magnate.


The retail grocers are now being
given demonstration of the ability of
the trust magnates to make sport of
the merchants of the country. For sew
eral weeks the price of sugar was put
down to a low notch at the trusts Or
der for the purpose of forcing the beet
sugar manufacturers to terms. With.
out warning on Nov. 90 the price was
raised and the merchants as we'll as the
consumers have nothing to do but com.
ply with the trusts requirements. The
indications are that during the coming
winter, the American people will be
treated to demonstration of the pow
ers and the evils of the trust system,
such as they have never had before.
The commodities upcn'wklcL the Yeo-
pie depend for existence are controlled
by trusts, and the people will be reqnir-
ed to pay for these commodities what
ever price may snit the fancy of the
trust magnates.

Notes and Comments.

President Roosevelt's rebuke of Cen
eral Miles was rather illadvised consid-
ering the fact that he himself has been
guilty of worse conduct than Mr.. Miles.
and the further fact that Miles IS vet.
eran of thecivil war. While the presi-
dent probably believed he was justified
in SO doing at the time 1t will return
like boomerang to haunt him in the
years to come. He has by his harsh
treatment of the highest officer of the
army incurred the displeasure of the
grand army boys and thousands of citi--
zens throughout the length and breadth
of the United States. The president
has also shown his desire to follow the
dictates of the corrupt political ring at
the bottom of the Schley Sampson con-
troversy. He has shown his desire to
disgrace three of the greatest men in
the army and navy of this country.
Such an attitude may be becoming tc
the highest executive of the land, but it
ts open to the most severe censure
without regard to politics.
Mr.. Miles record as soldier in de.
fense of his coutry should have prompt.
ed him to deal gently with him, and the
further fact that the president was but
mere lad when the rebuked general
was lying on Virginia battlefield

Unknown Poet.

After quoting from recent bit of
dogeerel that is glorified by the sigma
ture of Rudyard Kipling, and asserting
that 1t would not have been published
had the author been an unknown man,
the Dubuque Telegraph quotes the fol-
lowing poem as one worthy of notice,
from the Denver News:
Little boy sweetheart. with eyes that shine
Blue as tho sky on a summer morn,
Lips that are wreathed with smile divine,
Velvety cheeks that is pressed to mine,
Life has seemed fairer since you were born.
Fold up your petals. my rosebud white.
Goodnight. my baby, goodnight,
Goodnight.
Little boy sweetheart. love you so!
How deep that love you will never know.
Night after night. when my work is through,
Worn out and wearyI come to you
Bend over your couch until upon my ear
Falls faint music yearn to hear,
Made by your breathing SO soft and Light
Goodnight, my baby, goodnight,
Goodnight.
Then by your aide as nightly kneel,
To the All-Father make appeal.
That He will guide you and guard and bless,
Touch you with love and unselishness,
Mold you and lead you llfe's path along,
That you grow manly and true and strong,
That he may grant you future bright
Goodnight, my baby. goodnight,
Goodnight.
Sometimes in days that are vet to be,
In the last hours you shall come to me;
You shall stand at your life's proud prime,
whose head shall be touched with rime.
There shall we part for the last sad time,
Then, as the world recedes from view
On your dear face I will turn my sight
And out of death will call to you.
Goodnight. my baby, goodnight,
Goodnight.

consider that 1t is worthy of more gen.
eral planting. The fruit mixed with
some other good tart kind, is really very
good, and if not needed will feed the
birds and save the more valuable kinds.

But when you are happiest, beware!
One pleasant autumn evening two
travellers arrived at the Star and Gar
ter. One of them was young and
handsome, the other might have been
any age from So to 80.
The younger Of the two was dark
and fiery-looking. but he had fine
mouth and a musical voice. His name
was Richard Parker. He was London
born and bred, His hair was black as
night, and he wore a slight mustache
He came swinging into the outer bar
with its cups and jugs, and ale-warm-
ers, its bright polished floor. its wide
fireplace and its pretty screen, which
cut it OFF from the bar-parlor, other
wise the sanctum of Mary ano her
uncle, but more particularly the sane
tum of Mary, the Maid OF the Inn.
