this. and Mr.. Could was aware of that
fact, although he went over TO that city

ter than the average Wayfare who rides
on that line. which as yet has made no

The Improvement of this line, however.

Mr. Could Is anxious to put In effect at
once. The cars from Petersburg should
come over the free bridge. Mr. Gould
thinks. to Seventh. and Broad streets.
This wilt perhaps nacessItate a short
spur track on Seventh street. so that the
Petersburg cars may evade the Clay street
and Manchester cars until they are ready
to return to Petersburg.

purpose OF making faster schedules. This,

value to the city. The ambulance is one
of the finest vehicles OF the kind that
has ever been seen here and the officials
Of the hospital have followed the Paris
ian idea In having 1t painted white, a
most appropriate color, for such a ve-
iaicle.
The hospital authorities have started
the ambulance for the reason that they
say there is q. distinct demand for 1t and
1t Is the avowed Intention Of the Board
of Directors to meet every need OF the
city along the lines of hospital service
as rapidly as they become known. A
resident physician OF the hospital will
accompany it on all calls. and it will be
used to transport patients free OF charge
to the Virginia Hospital or to their
homes.
the ambulance will respond to all
emergency calls. such as accidents. fires,
and other disasters. It is built after
the most modern plans and will doubtless
do most valuable service.

From the chicago Record-Herald.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller informed his
Bible class that he feared the yearning
for riches had become greater in this
country than the desire to serve Cod.
This he sincerely regretted. He in
formed his hearers that every young
man was in duty bound TO give a por-
tion Of his time and energy TO the work
of the Lord. Wealth should be a sec
ondary consideration.
Il feel he said. chat the modern
tendency is to forget the duty we owe
TO the Lord in the struggle to advance
ourselves in n worldly sense; to accu-
mulate riches or acquire a position Of
power. 1t should not be. Our first
thought should be: How can we best
serve the Lord?'"
This splendid little sermon should be
taken to heart by every young man
who Is working for the Standard Oil
Company Instead of giving up all his
time and his thought to the work for
which he is drawing q salary he should
set apart certain days or certain parts

ers, managers and others who are en-

worldly sense by giving all their time
ma devoting their best thought to the
interests Of their employers. This

Anyway, Marse Henry went to bed,
md then he began to dream. In his
iyspeptic vision he saw Ambassador
,hoate deliberately conspiring TO make
Nr. Bryan a distinguished figure in
England in order TO help the Republi-
AN party In the United States; for,
recording to Marse Henry, the more Of
q figure Mr.. Bryan cuts over there the
more likely he is TO have influence In

he returns; or, as Mr. Wattersop
yloomily expresses it, 'Nveil the Repub-
leans understand that, as they are
lble to strengthen him (Bryan) they
prepare a handicap for the Democra-
cy.' Mr.. Watterson is obsessed by the
terrible nightmare; for. every day he
arcs a charge in the Courier-Journal at
Ambassador Choate, who he regards
as a verltable Machiaevelli.
