TOWNS MADE BY RAILWAYS.
The Iron Horse Has Been n PrOmi-
nent Factor in the Creation
of Provinces.

To-day towns do not grow mere
ly because of their location, and this
factor of location will become less
and less important as the years go
by. Chicago is situated upon the most
impossible and unlovely of all places
of human habitation. She is simply
city of transportation, and is no
better than her rails and boats,
though by her rails and boats she
lives in every western state and ter
ritory, says the Century Magazine.
The same is true of st. Louis and the
vast southwest. One railroad re-
Gently planned for western extension,
and laid out along it's lines the sites
of So new towns, each of which was
located and named before the ques-
ton of inhabitants for the towns
was even taken up. And her rail-
way in the southwest has named so
cities that are yet to build, and still
others have scores of communities
which in time are to be the battle
grounds of human lives, and stages
of the human tragedy or comedy.
The railways have not only reached
but create provinces; they have not
only nourished, but conceived COM
munities.

ly from a home of luxury and refine
ment. Seeing the crowd gather and
the patrol wagon hurrying down the
street, the little boys curiosity was
aroused. Mamma, what are all
those people doing?" "Why," an
swered the mother, they are taking
a man to the police station" But
why do they take him there?" BE
cause he is drunk and ought to be
taken there" 'Do they take every
one who gets drunk to the station?"
Yes, If they make trouble, and they
ought to take them there" The con-
versation ceased; the child intently
watched the officers force the
drunken man into the wagon and
drive away. Then, looking anxiously
into his mothers face, he said: "But
they won't take papa there, will
they?"
The fact which the proud wife and
mother attempted to conceal was
fully appreciated by the lad. The
husband and father, although the
owner of the factory in which the
hayward young man worked, was
drunkard, and should be on the same
social standing with the one who was
to rest that night behind prison
bars!
The heart of the one who over
heard the conversation ached not
only for the unfortunate young man,
but also for that boy, with the ques-
ton to his mother still unanswered.

NOT so ABSENT-MINDED.
British Soldiers in south Africa
Saved $o,OOO,OOO for the Folks
at Home.

The post office is throwing some
side lights upon the character of the
British soldier which will be read
with interest. 1t appears that Tommy
is not such an absent-minded beg
gar as he is made out to be. Tommy
himself has always resented the SOU
briquet, and the fact that he has
sent million of money home from
the Cape in postal orders during the
past year is a colossal testimony to
his thrift and thoughtfulness of
home needs, says the London Ex-
press.
This useful public service has a
section with every column for tel
egraphic and postal work, and not
only do they get letters safely
through Boer-ridden territory, but
they manage to preserve government
stock from capture with great skill
and foresight. Of course some postal
dispatches have fallen into the en-
emy's hands, but the check upon be-
lated mail bags is so keen that the
misuse of postal orders is rare.
Mail running from columns off
the railway is a dangerous game, and
the army post Office man requires
not only to be an efficient postal
servant, but a strategist, in so much
as to know when not to send. Sew
eral deaths have occurred in the de-

DIR. FISK AND THE CIGARETTE
Action of Head of an Academy a
Strong Testimony Against the
Little Coffin Tacks.

No matter what diverse views may
be entertained among intelligent peo-
pie regarding the effect of cigarette
smoking upon boys it will be generally
conceded that such proposition as
the one made by DR.. Fisk, of North
western preparatory school, must be
based upon sincere and earnest con-
viction. 1t is also reasonable to as
sumo that such conviction is grounded
upon statistics that amount to abso-
lutte proof in DR.. Fisk's mind that
cigarette smoking results in marked
mental deterioration.
So deeply is DR.. Fisk impressed with
the fact that he has asked any boy in
the school who cannot or will not give
up cigarettes to leave, and further Of
fers to refund all that has been paid
in fees or tuition to such students.
This declaration from the venerable
head Of the preparatory school, who
has 800 boys under his care, is an i'm
pressive Indictment of the cigarette
dealer and manufacturer which cannot
fail to attract serious public attention.
The doctor is not dealing in generali-
zations or loose denunciations. He has
prepared statistics covering a period
of several years, showing that of the
boys who smoke only two per cent. are
among the 25 per cent. of students who
stand highest in class scholarship.
Az the present time the boys who
smoke appear to be entirely incapable
of passing examinations or keeping up
in their studies. Two out of every nine
boys in the school confess that they
smoke cigarettes, and not one is in
good standing in his classes. The
proof of positive deleterious effect of
the cigarette habit upon boys mind
appears to be conclusive, Dr. Fisk not
being the only educator in this coun-
try who has gathered statistics of
similar import. School authorities are
justified in resorting to every possible
device to persuade young boys who are
addicted to the cigarette to abandon
the habit.-Chicago Record-Herald.

NAYL0R NOT GUILTY.
Verdict Of the Court Meets with 0ut'
spoken Approval.

Sheriff George II. Naylor was found
not guilty In the United States district
court shortly before noon today Of the
charge Of allowing a federal prisoner to
escape. Apparently the verdict was a
popular one, judging from the COM
ments that weV heard, in fact A. II.
Curtis, the ex-federal prisoner who was
the initial cause Of all the trouble was
so elated over the turn affairs had
taken thct he let out a whoop that
fetched shower Of dust and microbes
from the chandelier Of the court room.
This proceeding was not calculated TO

somnolencc Of the chronic sleepers
therein who are won't TO congregate in
cosy courtrooms daily with the advent
OF winter
When Judge Marshall had somewhat
recovered from his surprise he found
words to express himself 10 the ex-
tent OF, bring that man here" Curtis
promptly subsidized and assumed a penl-
tential mien, profusely apol0gized and
said that he had not meant 10 give
voice 10 his feelings. As Curtis WAS
suffering from about $50 fright the
court let him off with reprimad.

occupied the major portion OF yester-
Gay afternoon and this morning. II was

Just as soon as Sheriff Naylor learned

block by Deputy Marshal Hardy tha;

In his summing up Of the case Judge
Marshall instructed the Jury that the
word escape" was a technical one In
this case and meant that q prisoner had
escaped when he had been granted an
liberty; he was only a
prisoner when controlled by superior
force, such az bars and bolts. or ac-
