YOUNG ASTOR AN AMERICAN

Waldorf Astor, son and heir of
William Waldorf Astor, the expatriat-
ed American. was driving an Ameri-
can automobile in London when a
prominent officer of the guards, who
was in a car ahead of him. tried to
prevent him from passing by turning
his machine from one side of the road
to the other.
When they met in a West End club
the guardsman asserted that he could
run any American hustler off the
road"
Yes" remarked young Astor, ''if
YOU kept wabbling like a duck in
thunderstorm as you did the other day
on the Brighton road"
81 am an officer and a gentleman"
angrily observed the guardsman, "and
YOU must withdraw that remark
81 will not" responded Astor. "and
what is more, I will repeat 1t every
time hear you disparaging my coun-
trymen."
your countrymen," sneered the Of
ficer. Your father abandoned Amer
lea to become a British subject, and
van are a British subject too"
"I don't care what my father is''
retorted young Astor, hotly. II am
an American, and as an American 1
stand by what l have said.'
The two stood facing each other in
a threatening attitude and had not
friends intervened there would proba-
bly have been an exchange Of blows.

FASTER FREIGHT TRAINS.

Not only are passenger train
schedules being shortened everywhere,
but strenuous efforts are being made
to clip off hours and even days from
trans-continental freight train sched-
ules.
one instance of this comes to mind
with the opening of the banana season
on the Pacific coast. At the present
time, strange as it may seem, the bulk
OF Puget Sound and Portland bananas
come north by a roundabout way
over the Northern Pacific railway,
from New Orleans and then south
from Tacoma to Portland,
This is because, with its fast sched-
ules and sure connections with the
south. the Northern Pacific can give
a nine-day train from New orleans to
Portland by way of Puget Sound,
while the best the southern Pacific
has ever done is an 11-day train from
New Orleans, although the main line
of that system seems to run directly
toward Portland. from the southern
ports.
So. in order to secure portion of
this heavy and profitable traffic, the
Hartman lines will shorten their
schedules. They are as well equipped
as the other road, have Il more direct
route. and can deliver the goods as
quickly as any other, but they have
mountain grades to contend with and
have been increasing the tonnage of
all freight trains of late years, which
has reduced the speed over large
portion of the system.
The demand for special trains, how
ever. to handle trade from the Orient
the orange and banana traffic and
other lines in which there is sharp
competition, will clip off the long ends
of freight train schedules. and live
stock, fruits and other special COM
modities will be given precedence over
lumber and coal on all the coast lines.

LIVE STOCK IN CHINA.

The Chinese method of dealing with
their domestic animals is peculiar.
When not in use they spend their
lives anchored by very short rope,
attached to a peg sunk deep in the
ground. in front of the owners dwell
ing. Pigs are kept in a kind Of we'll,
with a brick wall to prevent caving
in. and for shelter little kennel is
provided for them AZ the edge OF the
pit, to which they can ascend by
climbing a very steep flight of brick
stairs.
A lot of Chinese horses and mules
is not more happy. The Chinese cart
is a peculiar affair. and appears to
be of much the same type as in an
cient days. The ordinary passenger
cart is dragged by one animal in the
towns and by two in the country. The
country cart employed for hauling
produce, and also for all domestic
purposes by the great bulk of the
population, is u machine of phenom-
email weight. The wheel of one of
them was found to weigh III lbs,
and the axle 81 lbs. in addition CIV

PROPHECY OF SEATTLE
THIRTY YEARS AFTER.

About thirty year ago lumber
schooner from Puget Sound cast an
chor at Portland, Ore, Among the
passengers was young lawyer named
Cornelius N. Hanford, who registered
from the village of Seattle. A young
man named Eugene Semple, native
of St Louis, was employed as re-
porter on the Portland Daily Herald.
Young Semple introduced himself to
young Hanford and solicited an inter-
view.
I'VE have fresh water lake on
one side named Lake Washington.
said young Hanford, becoming enthu-
siastic, land on the other side are the
salt waters of Elliott bay. On the
strip of land three miles between is
Seattle. Some day there will be a ship
canal cut through to the lake and then
Seattle will be the largest city on the
Pacific coast"
Semple listened, made notes, and
was much interested. In the morning
the Daily Herald contained an article
about Hanford and Seattle. The old
Portland pioneers smiled.
After a lapse of years young Sem
pie became governor of the territory
of Washington. still later young Han
ford became the judge of the United
States district and circuit court, po-
sition he holds to this day. He is
probably best remembered as the
Judge who put the Northern Pacific
railway in the hands of a receiver.
At the present time Ex-Governor
Semple is the president of great
corporation that is filling in the Seat
tie tide flats, redeeming them for
business blocks and manufacturing
sites, and at the same time digging a
canal connecting the salt waters OF
Puget Sound with the fresh waters
of Lake Washington. and the canal is
being extended along Hauford street
in Hanford's second addition to the
city of Seattle.-World's Work for
August.

INJUSTICE TO ENGINEERS.

Enemies of the Panama canal and
of the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt are doing the country an
irreparable injury in discrediting the
work being done on the canal. 1t is
not possible that the entire plans of
Chief Engineer Wallace who preceded
Engineer Stevens, were wrong, and
that all the money so far expended is
lost. Such statesments are idle and
pernicious.
1t may be that sanitation and sani-
tary precautions did not receive
enough attention in Panama before
the actual work of building the canal
was begun, but this is no discredit to
the plans formulated or actual work
done by Wallace. This is an enor-
nous undertaking and no one at a
distance is a just critic Of the scheme
or the plans of an engineer on the
ground.
large number of people favored
the Nicaragua route for a canal, but
they cannot logically oppose a canal
over the Panama route, unless all
their support of the Nicaragua route
was founded on selfish aims. A canal
is a canal and the same ends will be
achieved by way of Panama as would
have been achieved by a Nicaragua

MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia e. Pinklsan,'S
Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power Of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
Is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable, Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it Is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. s. G. Brigham, Of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
"It gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efiicacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties
"My oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking It for fe-
male weakness, and Is surely gaining In health
and strength.
81 freely advocate It as a most reliable spe-
cifc in all diseases to which women are sub
