WILL BREAK RECORD
Bic Increase i'm Railroad Bust
ness is Expected.
The Gross Earnings Are Expected to
Show an Increase of . Billion
and q Half.
EVERY YEAR Is BETTER

Railroad officials everywhere are
predicting for 1908 the greatest vol.
ume of business on record. The fig
ures for nearly all the roads covering
the first six months of this year have
been compiled, and 1t is shown that
there is about 81 per cent increase
over 1901 and over 10 per cent in
crease over last years figures, The
new fiscal year has started suspicious-
". Every railroad official in Louis
willie in a position to pass judgment is
of the opinion that the roads in gen.
eral are entering on the highwater
mark of prosperity.
Each year in its turn sets new rec.
ord, but 1908 will break ali these rec.
ords and make one that is more in ex-
cess OF 1902 than that year was above
1901. When the complete returns are
in for June il is believed the total for
the six months will be close to $780,
900, 900. which would indicate that
the coming year will show gross earn
ings On these lines of $1,000, 900, 900.
Reports fet to come will increase rath-
er than diminish the sum named.
Strikes have not affected passenger
earnings materially, which are much
the largest IN the history of the roads.
One cause for the large increase is the
advance in freight rates, which were
raised on many of the important com.
modities at the beginning OF the year.

and Made Him a Horse

"This boy is a magician He makes horses on
paper-a thing I've never seer done, and he wishes
to change him into one of those animals. He Is
the master of the lamp and his VIII must be obeyed"
He uttered some magic words, and IN the twinking
of eyelid Archie Wink, the idle and impudent
Archie, was then and there turned into handsome
Arabian steed. OF course, as there could be fur
Their orders from dumb animal, the genie disap-
peared, satisfied that he had fulfilled his part. The
lamp fell down upon the ground N the shed and
lay there between the hoofs of the horse. The ami
NAL seemed stunned for q time, and stood as If
transfxed gazing at the pile of gold and would
have thought it was wishing the coins were corn;
but really Archie, who, although dumb, was still
capable of thought was so overcome at what had
Cured that he was almost incapable of motion The
dreadful fate that had overtaken him deprived him
of the power to move for long time. Then he went
to the window and rubbed his nose against the
frosted panes- His mother saw the horse and IN
great surprise to the window and opened It.
Archie, In dumb anguish, poked his head into the
room. Just then Charlie and Elsie, much disap-
pointed because O'Keefe had refused to lend his
horse to them, entered the house and saw Archie's
head at the window.
''Oh, where did that lovely horse come fromF
cried the little girl,
"I don't know. 1t was here IN the yard, but how It
got here can't see" replied her mother, ~for the

Mrs. Wink Searched Chest
and Found the Lamp

Meanwhile Mrs Wink came home almost pros
trated, for she had met the landlord. and he had
repeated his threat of turning her family out of
doors the end of the week at the very latest unless
his money forthcoming 1t was terrible pros
poet The winter was but half gone. her earnings
were very small and there was no way of procuring
any money. She sat down and cried This disturbed
Archie very much. He asked his mother if she
could not weep quietly and as she wished to please
him she desisted at once. Then she began to sort
the few objects in the house that possibly might
be sold to procure some money. There was little
that of the least value, for everything costly
had long ago been disposed Of An oak chest stood
against the WALL and at last she opened this with an
old key, signing she did so. Archie sprang I'D at
once. This chest had belonged to his Uncle Tom. a
sailor, who had gone to twelve years before and
never returned, nor had his ship ever been heard
from in all these years.
@Are you going to search the chestga asked
Archie, eagerly.
"Yes. 1 must get some money I hate to take
anything from here, but alas, 1 fear poor Tom is
dead, and viii have no use for the things he left
with me-
Archie peered into the chest as his mother look
out the lost sailors belongings There were strange
weapons curious shells and queer, unknown objects
gathered IN many foreign lands-clothes and books
but she found money. The things we're. scat
tered all over the floor when she had reached the
bottom of the chest.
81 suppose some of these daggers and swords are
worth something" she sighed. 81 win try to sell
them at the antique store"
whats this 2" asked Archie, holding up a strange
little object made of copper bronze looking some
what ike queer little teapot.

Genie Soon Gave Him
a Big Pile of Gold

@Benie, Magi, uplalla bimbashi, efendi swax ma
jorem," which is Arabic for @What are the COM
mands Of the master of the lampl"
OF course, Archie did not understand word of
this, and yet, because it was spoken in foreign
language he Immediately lost all his fear for he felt
sort of sneaking contempt for genie who could
not speak English
care you the genie of the lamp he asked.
The genie repeated the unknown words ne had
used before, at the same time seeming surprised
Then he appeared to notice that the boy was an
Arab for he asked his question In another language
but it was all the same thing to Archie who lid not
understand one word. He once more inquired as
to whether the genie was the slave of the lamp and
again the genie replied in still another tongue.
"Can't you speak English 2" Intercepted the boy.
81 don't know what you're saying If you are a
genie want lot of things right off y
'Bismallah jamportua allah omar khayyim rama
DAMP exclaimed the genie inapatiently, and Archie
observed that he was already beginning to shiver
with cold, for Arabia, as you know, Is very warm
country, and even genie cannot endure snow and
ice. The boy also was growing excited and little
angry, for he feared the genie would become too
impatient and disappear In rage, thereby losing
him al the benefit of the old lamp.
For some minutes the two endeavored to arrive
at some understandings but of course it was i'm
possible TO comprehend one word either side
Suddenly an idea struck Archie, and, taking out
pencil and paper he tried to draw picture Of bis
wants His first desire being for gold, and a big
pile of 1t, he drew a rough outline OF mound of
dollars, and, while the genie waited shivering he
made several of the coins very carefully 50 that
there would be no mistake.

sharply, but he paid no attention to her words In
stead he went out quickly and closed the door, Then
he went into the wagon shed at the end of the yard
and sat down on the shafts Had Mrs. Wink looked
out of the window she could have seen all that then
occurred, but she busy replacing the sailors eff
fects in the old chest 1t bitter cold out there

chuckled hilariously, saying:

for fear of being disappointed if it failed. His

"Poor Tom brought it from Bildad, in Arabia"
~Why, that's funny old thing to call a lampn
cried Archie, incredulously. where's the place to
put the chimney?n saiss
~They had no lamp chimneys IN those far-of
times" said Mrs. Wink. "They filed the lamp with
oil and laid piece of cotton or something It, so
that the end rested against that"
"Why, the kerosene would catch fire at once." said
Archie, examining the tiny lamp.
"They had no kerosene either she added "They
used whale oil, suppose something of the kind
She began to replace the contents of the chest,
while Archie took the lamp to the window to better
inspect the object. 1t curiously carved with
strange figures and queer, distorted marks. which he
supposed were Arabic letters, and he right, but
he could not read them, of course.
Suddenly wild thought flashed szto his mind
This old lamp from Arabial Why could it
not be Aladdin's lamp? If not, perhaps some other
magic lamp with genie attachment, who could be
summoned by rubbing it, as was the case with the
celebrated lamp of Aladdin.
He started as the full thought formed in his
brain, then he went to the door.
~Where are you going with that lampg7 asked his
mother, with some anxiety, for she feared he would
take the lamp away and sell it, as he was such q
worthless little scamp that nothing was too mean
for him to undertake.
