THE PICTURE In THE EMBERs

He had lived in Kenosha manv
years, had grown up with it from boy
hood and last night as shes sat before
his fireplace, his wifeS and daughters
about him, he fell to dreaming of what
his old home town would be in years
to come-of the many new buildings
and wonderful changes that would
come to, pass, and'as he unused he tried
to picture to himself how.the new post
office building for which he had signed
many petition, would look.
AS he sat and gazed into the blazing
embers of his CHEEKY fire the Goals took
unto themselves new shapes and before
his now clouded eyelids arose a vast
pile. This pile gradually took shape
until he could plainly see standing on
knoll in the very heart of his native
town beautiful building, and over the
door on either side of which was a
heavy column of fine polished granite,
was the word in gold sletters "Post
Office"
The man could scarcely believe his
eyes for before him was sthe grandest
structure he had ever seen in Kenosha.
He walked up fight of broad stone
steps and entered. Within was hurry
and hustle. 8 He met fellow townsmen
coming and going through the broad
corridors and each seemed pleased and
happy as he greeted them. Fitting
hither and thither were Uncle Sans
servants distributing the letters and
papers. and harmony and industry
pervaded everywhere.
Up to side entrance there stood the
covered wagons of the rural mail car
riers, and the carriers in their blue un-
forms we're preparing to start on their
daily trips through the county.
The postmaster, who was young
and energetic man, sat.at his desk di
recting and assisting tthe employees,
and occasionally pacing up and down
the fine polished floor.
All these scenes passed.. before his
minds eye in apidlsuccession. and as
he was about to approach the main
window to buy This weekly supply of
stamps, his wife gently tapped him on
the shoulder. land said, James, it is
nearly theatre time, we will take the
next car"
The fire in the grateghad:burred low
and only the dying embers remained.

IHE decision of the house committee
on riverssand harbors that no river
and harbor appropriations are to be
passed at this session of Congress is
not being received with any great
amount of rejoicing by the cities which
hoped TO get piece from the pork bar
rel. If Congress can be persuaded to
expend the money,saved on rivers and
harbors on good roads the complaints
of the cities will receive little atten-
ton. AS class the farmer has had
comparatively little done for him.
Millions of the peoples money has
been expended in the effort to improve
transportation and the farmer is en-
titled to some help in getting his pro-
duce to the shipping point where he
can take advantage of all these in
creased facilities he helped to pay for.

BURTON AT ST. LOUIS
Goes There to Meet the Charges Made
Against Him. but Declines
tn Talk

St Louis, Jan. 27.-United States
Senator Burton, of Kansas, who was
indicted by the federal grand jury on

pany for the alleged purpose of unduly
influencing the postoffice authorities
with respect to a recommendation con-
corning a possible fraud order, has ar
rived in st. Louis.
When asked if he desired to make a
statement relative to the case, Senator
Burton said: mot at the present time.

representative EscH of Lacrosse
is gathering data for a bill which
promises to be one of the most import
ant measures presented at this session
of Congress. The object of the meas.
ure Is to require the railroads to build
ordinary day coaches in more sub.
stantial manner in order to prevent
the great loss of life in railway dis
asters. The immunity from injury
enjoyed by the passengers on Pullman
cars is due to the substantial manner
IN which the sleeping cars are Ibuilt
and the Wisconsin Congressman pro-
poses to make the railways use the
same style of construction for their
ordinary coaches. The bill will an
doubtedly be opposed by the railway
interests and it is probable that the
roads have power enough to defeat it,
but it is move in the right direction.

GIVES THE BEAR A HUNCH
Japan automatically Intimates That This
Earth Is for Time, and Not
Eternity.

Toxic, Jan. 27.-The Japanese gov
eminent has automatically intimated
to Baron de Rosen, the Russia minis
ter, that an early response is desired
to Japan's recent note to Russia. It is
calculated here that the Japanese note
reached the Russian cabinet on the aft
ernoon of Jan. 16, and it is felt that
sufficient time has elapsed for its con
sideration and the preparation of a
response.
The Japanese government is CON
scious of the possible necessities of the
military and naval situation, and is
unwilling to permit evasions and de-
lays which are designed to gain time.
The future course of the Japanese gov
eminent is a carefully guarded secret.
The length of time that Japan is pre-
pared to await the pleasure of Rus
STA is unknown. 1t seems probable
that it has been determined to act
decisively within a few days. The
popular temper has long opposed fur
Their delay.

The Steel Trust and The Public.

Steel corporation brings upon itself
much severe condemnation, whether
merited or otherwise Some 10000 per-
sons own this stock, thousands of
whom were no doubt induced to buy it
through the rosy statements of high
inanciers in whose Judgment and pro
bity they had confidence. In the main
the stock was purchased at 40 to so
cents on the dollar and paying per
cent dividend. 1t now brings barely 10
cents and is difficult to realize on at
that low figure. Decrease in earnings
is given as the reason for passing the
dividend. This decrease is indicated
in the following table, showing the net
earnings by quarters for 1902 and 1908:

key, and have spent the night there.

innkeeper is wondering whether he
had not better get rid OF them be-
fore they drink him into bankruptcy.
The horses love for stimulants
was first noticed when aguest of the
inn provided pail OF beer for them.
Angus thought it a joke, and as his
friends appeared at his place he
would give the team a supply to
drink before them.
The fame of the animals spread
far and wide. After awhile. how.
ever, the novelty wore of, and, oil
course, the supply of beer was cut
on; but TO the chagrin of Angus be
found the horses were not only I'M
willing but unable to work without
their usual supply of beer.

and a doctor was called. He said
