Great Economy of Force.


A wootlsmnn walks with {. rolling
motion, his hips swaying an inch or
more TO the stepping side, and his
pace is correspondingly long This
hip action may be noticed to an exag-
gcrated degree In the stride of n pro.
fcssional pedestrian, but the latter
walks with n heel and toe step, where
as an Indians or sailors step is more
nearly .nat footed. In the latter case
the center Of gravity is covered by
the whole foot. The poise is as secure
as that of n ropewalkep Tho toes
are pointed straight forward or even
tlIfle inward. SO that the Inside of
the heel. the outside Of the bnIl of the
foot and the smaller toes all do their
share Of work and assist IN balancing.

All you have got to do is to say, When l was a boy used to gather watercress out of the brook which ran right through the farm If you want to be very artificial say 'ploces,' instead of farm.

THE PRIVATE CAR AND
 THE FAVORED SHIPPER.

Ray Stannard Baker in the Janu any McClure's talks about the private car and the beef trust. He begins by considering the legitimate uses of pri- y planned they were of great benefit to the railroads, the shippers, and the consumers; how they boomed the fruit industry, and brought to the large cities of the north the deleca- cies of the south and west.
 After that MT. Baker, in his clear style, builds up a structure of facts tl.at gives you a bird 's-eye view of the almost unbelievable sweep of the abuses. He talks principally of Al mour. as the largest owner of private cars, who controls dozen or more lines. owning fruit and meat cars, talk. cattle and even common box ca.s approximately 14,00o Il all, rep eesenting an investment of about s14,000,00o He tells how Armour x Co. carry not only their own products, but fruits and vegetables for shippers generally, and how much of this side issue is conducted entirely at the eX- pense of the railroads.
 The railroads pay for these private cars a mileage charge, afterwards collecting the freight rate. Although the rental for the cars bring Ill handsome interest, on the money ln- vested, these big shippers are not satisfied but turn the screws Just the same and squeeze their rates down when their products are carried at 2 figure far below that which the smaller shipper pays.
 Armour in addition, on account ol inc breadth of his interest, is able to drive these cars so that they make inc maximum number of miles a day, and so gets his stuff through, at the expense not only of other shippers, but of the ordinary routine of the railroad itself.
 Mr. Baker illustrates his narrative with many incidents, which serve to bring home to the reader the menace contained in this control of the rates hy the trusts. He tells of John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil company. and shows how Armour and he defy the railroads and name the actual price at which the products shall be carried. MT. Baker goes 1ur- ther and makes charges, astounding, hard of belief, until he has proved them with hard, cold facts. He shows how politics play part and how po- liticians garner rebates, and tells at 1enehth of the gross injustice Of the discrimination between beef and cattle. This article containing the exposure it does would create sensa- ton at any time, but it is of peculiar interest just now when all the coun- Jrv looks to Washington for rate leg islation.

was in one of them which was fitted with
spring locks so as to be opened from the
inside. With him was a bottle OF wiis-
ky, a set of burglar tools and a dark
lantern The other box was used for
packing his plumber Schmidt emerged
and plundered the place and was safely
repacked with his plumber. but an eiil-
pioye saw one of the boxes move uti-
accountably as it stood alone on the
floor, and peeping through a knot hole iii
the top saw the burglars hat He itIi-
nediately smashed the packing ease

PATTISON MAY PUT
LID ON TN ONO

& x a la
Cincinnati, Nov. I8 Is. it the purpose
of Eoyernor-eleet Pattison to put on the
lid in Ohio and clamp it down.
This is the question which is agitat-
ing every saloon keeper, amusement re-
sort proprietor and member Of the sport
ing fraternity IN every city III the
state. N B As A
Tie s.raWs show which way the wind
blows, there are numerous indications
that the successor of Governor Her
rick intends to see to lit that the letter
of the law shall be obeyed as soon as
he is seated firmly iii the gubernatorial
chair. And as far as this particular
city of beergardens and Sunday after
noon concert resorts is concerned, the
new governor, according to rutllor, will
have an able ally in Mayor-elect Denp-
seN who is credited with sharing in a
great measure the prospective chief
executives views on the question.
Neither has expressed himself def
|nitely on the question as yet, but the
popular impression Is tdeep-rooted that
the long open cover is to be forced
down on Sunday saloons and stfaf1lily
resorts and that an era Of general
reform IS about to be inaigtirated As
a consequence feeling verging on
panic prevails among that element of
the population not iii favor Of a Puri-
tanical construction of the laws.
