The railroads Of this country are d.

writes Charles A. Prouty, member Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
These five systems, together with the
Atchison, the Rock Island and the st.
Paul. control about $4,000 miles Of
road. There are 100000 miles of rail-
road in the United States, but the other
5000 miles begin nowhere and end
nowhere and are absolutely dependent
on the five great systems. When five

The reports OF consuls In various
parts Of Germany to the effect that
American goods are being closely cop
led by German manufacturers indicate
In one way the fierceness OF the com
petition that Is to be encountered In
foreign markets from now on. A year
ago 1t was reported that In various
cities of Germany goods OF home
manufacture were offered for sale with
the false and misleading placard
made In America" attached to them.

growth OF American trade In European
markets, 1t Ii nevertheless a compu-

A little anecdote about Brahms is told in
the Outlook and shows the simplicity and
wholesomeness of the character of the
great composer. The daughter of Johann
Strauss once asked all her musical friends
TO write their names, with phrases from
their works. in her album. When the book
was brought to Brahms he wrote the OPEN
ing phrase of the Blue Danube" waltz
and underneath it the words, Not, regret
to say, by your devoted friend, Johannes
Brahms" Perhaps Brahms was sincere
but more probably he was only polite.
