ROCK ISLANDS GREAT PLANS.
Extensions Planned TO Cover All
United states Territory.

Extensions Planned TO Cover All
United states Territory.
Chicago, H., June 9.--Stockholders
of the Rock Island railroad at their
annual meeting gave further evidence,
by the action taken, that they pro
pose to make their line the greatest
traffic system of the continent.
In addition to the decision to in
crease the capital stock of the cor
poration from $6O,OOO,OOO to 75OOO,-
600, there were adopted amendments
to the articles of consolidation giving
the road unlimited power to purchase,
build, lease or otherwise acquire
other lines of railway and fixing the
limit of the Indebtedness to which the
company may subject itself at $780,
100000, exclusive of the bonds issued
for the acquisition of additional prop
erty.
It is generally supposed by the
action taken that plans have already
been virtually adopted for the en-
largement of the system in a number
of directions.
Undoubtedly many extensions iii
be built in Texas, Oklahoma and In
dian territory, and II is surmised that
the time is not far distant when the
Rock Island will have its own tracks
to the Pacific coast.

QUEER WAYS OF THE MARTEN,
a Peculiar Habit that Has Saved the
Animal from Extinction.

The Hudson Bay marten, the little
fur-bearer whose skin is ever popular
and at times exceedingly valuable, is
still plentiful in that region of fur
bearers" said W. B. Salmon, one time
a trapper for the Hudson Bay Com
pany, but l believe it would have been
virtually extinct there long ago if it
We're not for a habit it has of making
periodical diSappearances, of which
never heard any satisfactory explana-
ton.
''These disappearances occur every
ten years. Where the animals 90 no one
knows. No dead ones are ever found,
and no one has yet discovered any evil
dence of their migration to any other
region. a few martens. of course, re
during the season Of the disappearance
of their fellows none of them will touch
the bait in trap and consequently
none is caught. The next year the mar
tens are back again in their old haunts
as numerous as ever, and for ten years
more submit to being caught.
'The Hudson Bay martens seem to
be the only ones of the species that
have this strange habit. The Lake Su-
perior martens don't waste any of their
time in disappearing voluntarily, but
are found at the old stand year in and
year out. housing themselves in hollow
trees in the deepest woods and making
life perpetual burden TO birds, squir-
rels, rabbits and other small game on
which they prey.
"The Lake Superior marten has one
prediction of the palate in which he
resembles the bear. That is a passion
for honey. He will line wild bee 20 its
home with the precision of the most
expert bee hunter, and the hidden
sweets of that bee colony will have to
be in a most inaccessible place If the
marten doesn't soon revel in them. Like
the male mink. the male marten has an
overpowering love for his own Off
spring, but for the offspring of his fell
low martens-such peculiar love, in
deed, that if it wasn't for the instinct
and shrewdness of the mother martens
the race of martens would have been
unknown long ago. The male marten is
so fond of his young that he will eat
them up whenever he happens to find
them. The mother, therefore, bears her
young in some secret hiding place, and
keeps them hidden until they are hall
grown and able TO defy the canniDal-
istic love of their sire. The female mink

IB0RNIN THE COUNTRY
NO BOY NEED EVER BE ASHAMED
OF 1T.
Daily Contact with Nature Gives
Health, Happiness, Purity and Peace,
and What Is There that Is More
Worth Striving For?

No boy need ever regret that he was
born in the country and reared on
farm. says former Secretary of Agri-
culture J. Sterling Morton in the Con
servatiye. He may lack the keenness
and polish of his city cousin. He may
be embarrassed by his own awkward
ness and feel that he is at a hopeless
disadvantage in the race, but the cOun-
try boy has the advantage of wider
range of practical ideas. From the very
first his little services are in demand.
He becomes at once part of the force
that is making for home comfort and
prosperity and feels the independence
of one who is helping to support him
self and add TO the general store.
I The country boy is likely to regard
his life as one of drudgery, and such it
may be If he loses interest in his sur.
roundings or is pressed with contin-
ued round of duty.
/ There is something heroic in the
country boys struggle with the ele-
ments. Rain and snow and sleet only
brace his courage. The garnering of the
crops, the housing and feeding of the
domestic animals, the gathering and
preparation of the winter fuel, give a
purpose and zest to his toll.
Then there is the long tramp. some
times of miles, to the district school;
lessons learned before and after long
hours of labor Is it any wonder there
are keen wits developing all outside of
graded systems and in defiance, of peda-
gogical order? 1t is the intensity OF
purpose with which the mind acts un-
der the influence of vigorous health
and the conscious value of time that ac'
counts for these results. So from the
farms is being supplied a stream of ac'
tive world workers-men not afraid tC
do their duty and bubbling over with
energy and ambition.
From the little red schOolhouses come
into our colleges and schools of higher
grade aspiring youth. Some are seek
ing an education as means of eman
cipation from the drudgery of labor
Others come with a true thirst fol
knowledge. They find their way into
the professions and business world, bu
few go back to the farm.
What an ideal thing it would be fol
the young men trained in science ant
holding the key to natures mysteries
and beauties to 90 back to live. broad
cultured and quiet lives in the midst Of
the most delightful environment il
which God has ever placed man.
Touch the country-bred boy, now tn,
merchant prince or the successful pro
feSsional man, and how responsive h,
becomes TO every suggestion of rura
life. The same cannot be said of boy:
reared in the midst of any other sur
roundings. 1t is the contact with natur,
that makes the indelible impression
upon his life. No greater gain coult
come to the country at large than t,
promote the love and appreciation o
rural life. Health, happiness, purit!
and peace are the natural inheritanc,
of those who dwell surrounded by tresl
air, beautiful scenes. bright skies anC
pure social Influences

Why We Need Hobbies.

Business is not inseparable from
higher things. Men may be born gro
GERS, but need not live only as grocers.
Solon and Thales, wise men of the
Greeks, We're merchants; Plato peddled
oil; SpinoZa, the philosopher, mended
spectacles. Linnaeus was cobbler as
well as a botanist. Shakespeare prided
himself more upon his success as a
stage manager than as a dramatist.
Spenser was a sheriff. 1t might require
a rather strong wrench of the imagina-
ton to imagine sheriffs of to-day writ

Milton taught school, as have almost all
great men. Walter Scott, the wizard of
the North, was circuit clerk and prac-
teal man of affairs; Grote was Lon
don banker, Ricardo a stock jobber and
Sir Isaac Newton master of the English

Great Gentleman an apprentice at a
carpenters bench.

Merrimac, the capture of the daring
party of American sailors and their
subsequent release by the Spaniards,
President Mckinley was anxious to re-
ward each of the young heroes. Deig-
nan was personally complimented by
the President and offered a cadetship
in the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
but it was found that he was ineligible.
Then he was appointed a boatswain
in the United States navy and his ap-
pointment as a warrant officer was
made April of this year.

Edison and His "Annibilator =,

One of the pranks of the youthful
Edison, when his genius was Just begin
ming to show itself, is described in Col
lier's Weekly. Probably the danger to
human as well as insect life involved
in his electric "annihilator" prevented
its general adoption.
EdisOn's early wanderings brought
him at II years of age to the Cincin-
natl office of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, where his absorption
in electricity and predictions of its fu-
ture power confirmed the nickname of
"Luny," which clung to him even until
his fame was established.
I'VE have the craziest chap in our of
iice;' said the telegraph manager 70 the
editor of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. He does all sorts of queer
things. shouldn't be surprised if he
turned out to be a genius some day.
Let me tell you his last prank.
I'VE have been annoyed for some
time by cockroaches. They infested
the sink. They don't now. Lunv fixed
them. He just ran two parallel wires
round the sink, and charged one with
negative and the other with positive
electricity. Bread-crumbs were then
scattered, and when Mr. Cockroach an
peared and put his little feet on the
wires ashes were all that We're left to
tell the tale"
In this cockroach annihilator was tba
