Is no richer than the fertile coun-
try traversed by the Illinois Cen.

awakened to this fact and are
rapidly settling here, for they ap-
preciate the fact that the soil,
crops, climate, water, markets,
etc, are all that could be desired
and they are buying land while
the prices are yet very low. Write

How Tommy Was Rewarded For TAX
ing the Quinine.

lily tItC GhHfhNs
The three-year-old was peevislr
and fretful. Ills cheeks were flush
ed, his pulse irregular and his sleep
broken. The family physician hat
prescribed quinine, aid it had beer
administered with mammals stern
and unrelenting hand for a week OF
longer. Papa had grown weary of
the nightly fracas and finally offer
ed the young hopeful a big, round
silver dollar if he would take the
quinine without crying. Much tc
his surprise the offer was accepted.
Five minutes later the small boy put
on his hat and started for the door,
"Where are you going, Tommy ?"
asked papa.
"Gom' to de dwug store"
"Why, what for, Tommy"
"To buy pound of quinine."
"But why do YOU want so much

OF men laid off Saturday was about rs,
and the shutdown, according to whatin-
formation gained, will last until Septem-

The paint and repair shops are closed
altogether and in the three remaining
shops only enough men are retained to
make emergency repairs and to run the
wreck train in case Of an accident on the
road.
For some time past the shops have
been running only five days a week, and
on Monday notices were posted that only
four days work would be done this week.
In addition to the shutdown of the
Todd's Cut shops the Pullman Company
notified it's employees that their services
would no longer be needed for an indefin-
lite period. Only the foremen are kept
on the pay-roll.-Wilmington Star.
Some merchants in Wilmington esti-
mate that there are between 5000 and
1000 men entirely laid off or working on
part time in Wilmington.
A merchant in Philadelphia declares
that 100, 600 men are idle in Philadelphia.
Not for years have so many idle men
been seen around Philadelphia Post office
as were seen this week.
A workman from Trenton states that
the Roeblin Iron Works are not employ
ing more than half their usual number
of men. Reports from the manufacture
ing towns of Pennsylvania are to the eff
