Anti-Pa.. Agreement Unpopular.

The antf-pass Issue, so strong year ago,
is now apparently dead Unless the execu-
tives who fought so hard for 1t for so many
years Immediately begin campaign for an
extension of the trunk-line agreement west
of the Mississippi river employees of the
railroads of the United States will celebrate
a return to the old custom of a universal
exchange of passes before Jan. 1.
Western executives do not want the
agreement extended, and indications are
that the anti-pass meeting called in ST.
Louis at the Southern next Tuesday will
adjourn without action. Few presidents will
be present If the meeting is held, and there
is a chance that 1t may be called off. The
executives who voted for an abolition OF
passes last year are saying little in praise
of the system they inaugurated, and their
former supporters in the central States east
of the Mississippi river are only lukewarm
in their present support. The travelling
agents of the Western roads who have had
TO pay their fare when travelling over East
ern roads during the last year are more
hopeful than they have been for years that
the anti-pass issue will be dropped. West
ern officials say the time Is not ripe for a
general abolition OF the pass.
Passenger men feared that with the anti
pass agreement would come a reduction of
the forces of travelling passenger men all
over the country. However, few agents
have been let out and more have been en-
ployed. The new colonization rates will
have the effect of increasing the number OF
new turn, with the hope of passes again
has to a great extent dispelled the fear
among the travelling passenger men that
their ranks were to be cut down.

Rob and His Gun.

Linn is TO introduce young readers of the
boy kind to some of the pleasures of coun-
try life. and to give them practical hints
of the methods by which they may become
expert with the gun and rife, make them
acquainted with game of different kinds
and the manner of hunting IL, and at the
same time point out to them the difference
between the pleasure of a true sportsman
and the taking of life for the mere pleas
ure of killing. This idea is carried out in
the form of story in which Rob's father
and his cousin Dave accompany him on
hunting excursions and instruct him i'm a
great many things pertaining to the train
ing OF dog. the handling of gum the
hunting of game birds, etc. The book shows
personal knowledge of all these and other
related matters. Ii is out of the ordinary
and will interest boys. especially those
whose tastes run in the direction of hunt

Lavender and Old Lace.

The title of this story, Lavender and
Old Lace" leads to the expectation OF
finding in it's pages flavor of a bygone
day and this anticipation is fulfilled. In
the tale are intermingled two romances,
one IN which a young man and woman
of to-day are the chief actors, the other
that of woman of the preceding genera
ton. The latter is a pleasing figure against
picturesque background of colonial furni-
not much plot or incident and there is a
certain vagueness and improbability in
