Chnrtering Special Trains.
From the New York Times.


Special trains are becoming so fire.
quent now that they attract little at
tention, except they make record runs
for long distances or unless there is
some trouble collecting payment for
them" said a veteran railroad man
'"Ten years ago when 1 was division
superintendent on one of the big trunk
lines running out of New York a spe-
cial train was an event that never fail
ed to get mention in the newspapers.
Stationmasters required ample notice
to get one in readiness, and there was
a great deal of fuss making arrange
ments all along the line At any of
the big railroad terminals in any city
now man can get a special engine and
car to chase a f1ier almost as easy as
he can check his trunk. Only a few
minutes notice is required, and right
of way is obtained for 100 or 200 miles
along the line without noticeably dis
turbing schedule runs. A man who
has to keep an important business en-
gagement, or a woman hurrying to a.
sick husband, pays 800 or double that
sum for a special with as little con-
Germ as paying a supper check in a
swell hotel. We live in a rapid and
extravagant age, and grow accustomed

BRODIE'S FAILURE"
BY A. S. RICHARDSON.

When young Brodie, clad in white
linen jacket and apron. appeared be-
hind the counter of his fathers soda
water fountain. there was a genuine
sensation in the social and business cir
cles of the Brodie family. But every
ject TO Ephraim Brodie 1t was gen.
orally known that the ambition of this
self-made merchant, who had chain of
drug stores at various points of the
city, was to make a gentleman" of his
only son. The only trouble was that
the old mans Interpretation of the
word was a bit narrow.
When Ralph came home from his first
year at Harvard conditioned" with
no record as an athlete or fraternity
man, and with the bulk of his years
allowance in the form of a savings
handbook, veritable warcloud formed
in the Brodie residence. with its vivid
crimson carpets and its gilt-framed fur
niture.
You are a failure-an ambitionless
son of father who has sacrificed ev-
erything to make a gentleman of you
and now you can try your hand at
singing soda for -Your vacation"
Within a fortnight after Ralph had
taken his place in the Parker street
store, which, by the way, was in the
heart of the big wholesale district and
! sky-scraping office buildings, the de-
partment was revolutionized. Not only
did he bring his force of assistants into
creditable state of organization. but
he concocted some new drinks, the fame
of which spread and brought new GUS
tom.
There were men who envied Ephrailn
Brodie the possession of this son, but
none dared to suggest such a topic of
conversation. And Mrs. Brodie, having
been an obedient wife to the point of
servility, dared not sympathize with
her sons little successes which betray-
ed his plebian abilities and his scorn of
a profession. In fact, Ralph had calm
ly announced that he would rather go
behind the prescription desk in the fall
than return to college and study law.

Crailey Gray, alone, spoke not at all,
but why did he strain and strain his
eyes toward that empty pedestal with
| the grotesque carvings? Did he seek
! Fanchon here, or was Miss Carewe the
! last sweet apparition in the fancies of
all five of the unhappy young men?
The coincidence of the actual appear
ance of the lady among them, there
! fore, seemed the more miraculous
when wan and hopeless, staggering
desperately backward to the gable
ridge they heard a clear contralto voice
/ behind them:
Hadn't you better all come down
now?" it said.-"The stairway will be
on fire before long"
Only one thing could have been
more shockingly unexpected to the five
! than that there should be a sixth per-
son on the roof, and this was that the
sixth person should be Miss Betty Car
eve.
They turned, aghast agape, chopfal-
len with establishment, stunned, and
| incredulous.
She stood just behind the gable
| ridge, smiling amiably, a most incon-
| gruous little pink fan in her hand, the

and curling between the five and her

the new moon.

last vision of the lost volunteers? Was
it a Valkyrie assuming that lovely
likeness to perch upon this eyrie, wait

halia, or-waS it Miss Betty Carewe?
To the chief she spoke-all of them
agreed to that afterward-but it was
Crailey who answered, while Tom
could only stare. and stand wagging
his head at the lovely phantom, like a
mandarin on a shelf.

Crailey. How did you come up here %
There's a trap in the roof on the
other side of the ridge" she said, and
she began to fan herself with the pink
fan. "A stairway runs all the way
down--old Nelson showed me through
these buildings yesterday-and that
side isn't on fire yet I'm so sorry l
didn't think of it until moment ago,
because you could have brought the
water up that way. But don't you
think you'd better come down now?''

The next day Ralph Brodie received
this letter:
"Son Ralph: 1 understand you have
rather a good thing in liniments. If
this is so, 1 don't see why the name
of one of my competitors should go on
the label. Come around to the office
and We'll see what can be done about
it. Your father, Ephriam Brodie."
And so the eighteen months of Bit
terness and separation became a mem
DRY, and While Ephriam Brodie gave
over his time to spelling a couple OF
very fine grandchildren, the son whom
he had dubbed a failure placed the
firm of Brodie & Son in the front ranks
of the Chicago drug trade.

father when they met at meal times,
and a fiuttering interest from his moth
er, it was quite natural that Ralph
turned elsewhere for sympathy-and
found it. Nellie Carson was trimmer
in the wholesale millinery establish
ment of Johnson, Brown & Co., and ev-
cry noon dropped into the Brodie drug
store for a cooling drink. She did not
know that the clean-cut young chap
who mixed her ice cream soda was the
son of the proprietor, but one day
when he remarked in a low tone as she
gave her order, II wouldn't drink too
much of that sweet stuff when you are
tired. Let me mix you something that
will give you strength, you look so
played out to-day" she decided that he
was just the man she had dreamed
would some day come into her life
and stay there.
And Ralph, catching the grateful
look in her eyes as she slipped the COM
forting draught, decided that he would
mix a new drink and name it in honor
of those eyes. An instant later he re-
verSed the decision mentally, declaring
that he would not so demean her
charms before a thirsty and unthinking
public.
1t was a month before the matter
reached Mr.. Brodie's ears-then the

year rolled around. The young
Brodies lived in an unpretentious
home, near the great patent medicine
laboratory where Ralph was foreman.
Occasionally Mrs. Brodie called clan
destinely, but the young people were
never permitted to enter the old home.
And even as money rolled into Eph-
Ram Brodis Golfers. so did the waves
of bitterness encompass his soul His
son was failure, the name of Brodie
was never seen on the social register
the man who might have redeemed
the house of Brodie from social ex-
tinction was blind to his opportunity
and his duty.
1t was a warm evening in Septem-
Der, and Ephriam Brodie wandered
restlessly in the park. At last he
spied an empty bench, and pulling his
hat down over his eyes, stretched out
his long limbs and was soon lost in
thought, in schemes for enlarging one
OF his stores and starting a branch in

o oVer-productlon." For every.
body knows that doubling the crops
means cutting the price down to one,
half its real value. The larger the
crops are, the greater is the harvest
reaped by railways, spectators and
trusts. viii any one deny this
Nohing but a short crop brings the
farmer a good price for his products
and what farmer wants a short crop
What consumer wants a short crop Z
The farmers only chance for a liv-
ing price for the fruits of his toll is
to do like all the other branches of
industry have done-organize and
cooperate SO as to be in a position
to set a price on his own products.
We're all the agencies engaged in
teaching the farmer how to bring
about over-production, to use their
efforts to get him to organize and Co
operate with his brethren, and hold
a part of his crop until the price
justifes a sale, then he would be
benefited by. enjoying the profits of
his labor. And until he does this, he
must expect the s~peculator, trust and
middlemen to become missionaries at
his expense. The American Society
of Equity and the Farmers Alliance
appeal to the farmers in terms too
strong to be ignored, to come in and
see how easy it is for him to live
happy and independent. The farm
ers of the West are pushing the A.
S. of E. into every corner where a
farmer can be reached and brought
in. They have set their heads to
work for n dollar per bushel for
their wheat, fifty cents for corn and
forty cents for oats. They want to
save for themselves, in future, the
vast millions the spectators have
made in specializing on their prod
ucts. An appeal has been sent out to
the wheat farmers for one hundred
thousand of them to hold off of the
market 100 bushels of wheat each for
a certain length of time. The effect
will be ten millions bushels held
back. We here venture the declara-
ton, hat no improvement in soils,
no system of education, no training,
will ever benefit the farmers, as a
class, as long as they continue to
compete with each other instead of
cooperating for a better method OF
marketing their products through a
judicious plan of organization, like
the American Society of Equity Of
fers. We have in the United States
over five hundred farmers organiza-
tions, yet they are so scattered and
limited in their sphere as to be al
most totally impotent. Nothing but
a great national organization will
accomplish the desired end.
