INTERESTING Ey
EXPERIMENT
TAURANT.

An advertising agent representing a prominent
New York magazine, while a recent western
trip, was dining evening In a Pittsburg res
taurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced over his
Newspaper and noticed the advertisement Of a
well-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets; a. he himself was a regular user
Of the tablets he began Specializing as to how many
Of the other travelling in the dining room
wers also friends Of the popular remedy for indi-
gestion.
He says, 81 counted twenty three men at the
tables. and In the hotel Office 1 took the trouble
to interview them and was surprised to learn that
nine out Of the twenty three made q practice Of
taking one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tabsts
atter each meal.
"ons of them told he had suffered much
from stomach trouble that at time he had
been obliged to quit the road, but since using
Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from indigestion. but he continued their use, espe-
cially while travelling, on account Of irregularity
IN meals and because, like all travelling men, he
was often obliged to eat what he could get and
not always what he wanted.
Another. who looked the picture OF health, said
be never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tab
let afterwsrd. because he could eat what he
pleased and when he pleased, without fear of q
sleepless night or any other trouble.
"still another used them because he was sub
sect to gas on stomach, causing pressure heart
and lungs, shortness OF breath and distress In
chest which he no longer experienced since using
the tablets regularly.
"Anothef claimed that stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets was the only safe remedy he had ever found
Tor stomach and acidity, he had formerly used
common soda to relieve the trouble. but the tab
lets were much better and safer to use.

RAILROAD BUILDING.
Three Periods Of Construction in the
United States.

0IdtCSs
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In to 1900 there had been three note
worthy periods Of railway construction In
the United States.
The first Of these marked the extension
of lines from the Atlantic seaboard over or
around the Alleghanies into the Ohio val
ley and out to the Mississippi and Missouri
This period ended with the civil war.
The second period was marked by the ex-
tension Of lines from Chicago to the north
west, from St Louis to the southwest, and
from Omaha, Kansas City and St Paul to-
ward the Pacific. This period ended with
the panic Of 1878.
The third period was that which began in
1876 and ended in 1895, and which marked
the opening Of the great west to settle
ment by the grtdironing Of Iowa, Missouri
Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and the Da-
kotas and the extension Of iron highways
into Oregon and Washington. Texas. Arr
iona, New Mexico and Southern California
Writers who have touched upon railway
construction during the last seven years
have fallen into the habit Of assuming that
never again would there be period which
could possibly rival the third one named
And the assumption has been justified upon
at least one ground. Certainly never again
will there be such a general construction OF
new lines in this country, because there
can never again be the same demand for it.
But IL does not follow IQdC IOE ACTUAL COLI
etruction in the nature Of extensions and
betterments, the third period IL bound to
remain uneQualed
The third period was perhaps greatest In
what might be called raw construction. 1t
was the period In which new territory was
sought and opened up. The great aim was
to build with more regard than formerly
tor scientific engineering and safety. but
to build anyhow; or, to use phrase Of the
time. to get there"
Most Of the lines built IN the west and
northwest In this period were designed to
serve only sparse populations. There are
millions now where there were only thou
sands then. Today double tracks must take
the place OF single tracks. Branches must
be built Main lines must be Strengthened,
and grades must be reduced to meet the
demands Of increased business.
This Is why 5000 miles Of track were laid
during 1909 without creating more than
passing comment, This Is why 5000 to TO-
600 miles OF new track Will be laid this year.
But there will be much new railroad
building in the near future Also Texas Is
demanding. for instance, a railroad devel-
opment equal to that OF Illinois Several
lines are leading toward Mexico even now.
The Dakotas, Montana. Idaho and the
northwest are only partly served. Oklaho-
ma, Western Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming
and Utah are crying for better transpor-
tation facilities. In the sense that the per-
fectlng OF railway lines throughout the ter
yitory west of the Mississippi and Missouri
Is yet to be accomplished railroad con-
struction Is still In Its infancy in the United
States.

A eerH WEDDING Anniversary.
Lines by zenas O. Robbins, Aged
Ninety-Three, In Honor Of Event.


Ninety Three, in Honor Of Event.
One Of the oldest and most respected cid-
Gems Of Washington Is Mr.. Zenas c. Rob-
bins, who, although he has attained to the
rare age Of ninety-three years. yet pre-
serves his good health and is master of all
his faculties. Mr.. Robbins has not per-
mitted his long active mind to rest during
the late years Of his retirement from busi-
ness, but he keeps well abreast Of the times
and keenly notes the changes which are
occurring. Naturally. his span Of life has
covered a great revolution in the crcum-
stances surrounding mankind, and it was
therefore appropriate that in review COM
memorating the sixty-sixth anniversary OF
his marriage he should fall into RETROSPECT
ton. The result was a poem. which The
Star is enabled to present to It's readers.
Mrs. Robbins has accompanied her hus-
band thus far on the journey, being ten
years younger. The wedding occurred jan
uary II, 1887; and when at the celebration
