WHY WE ARE rHANKFu1r

Tor what are We thankful2 For this;
FOR the breath and the sunlight Of life
Tor the love OF the child. and the kiss
ON tho lips OF the mother and wife.
Tor roses entwining.
For bird and for bloom;
And hopes that are shining
Like stars In the gloom.
For what are we thankful? For this:
The strength and the patience Of toll;
For even the joys that We miss
The hope OF the seed In the soil
For souls that are whittier
From day unto day:
And lives that are brighter
From going Gods way.
For what are we thankful7 For all
The sunlight-the shadow-the song:
The blossoms may wither and fall.
But the world moves In music alongl
For simple. sweet living.

Pittsburg, May 1.-The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad recently lost 100000 because some
one failed to foresee that steel cars would ad-
vance $500 each within six months. The Wabash

possibly 100000, on account of the boom in
steel car building. Other railroads have been

The Wabash Railroad about six months ago
empowered its president to place an order for

belief that this failure of President Ramsey to
place orders for rolling stock and letting the

had with George Gould and his subsequent re-
tirement from the Wabash interests in Pitts
