"What a charming assembly" re-

something so captivating, so ethereal

Railroads and Progress.

In his testimony before the senate
committee on interstate commerce at
Washington, on May 4, Prof. Hugo R.
Meyer, of Chicago university, an ex-
pert on railroad management, made
this statement:
'fLet US look at what might have
happened if we had needed the protests
of the farmers of New York and Ohio
and Pennsylvania Tin the seventies
when grain from the West began pour
ing to the Atlantic seaboard) and acted
upon the doctrine which the Interstate
Commeace commission has enunciated
time and again, that no man may be
deprived of the advantages accruing to
him by virtue of his geographical posi-
tion. We could not have west of the
Mississippi population of millions of
people who are prosperous and are great
consumers. We never should have
seen the years when we built 10000
and $4,000 miles of railway for there
would have been no farmers west of
the Mississippi river who could have
used the land that would have been
opened up by the building of those rail-
ways. And if we had not seen the
years when we could build 10000 and
$4,000 miles of railway in year, we
should not have today east of the
Mississippi a steel and iron producing
center which is at once the marvel
and the despair OF Europe, because we
could not have built up steel and
iron industry if there had been no mar
ket for its product.
"We could not have in New Eng
land great boot and shoe industry
we could not have in New England a
great cotton milling industry; we could
not have spread throughout. New York
and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufac-
turing industries of the most diversified
kinds, because those industries would
have no market among the farmers
west of the Mississippi river.
"And while the progress of this
country, while the development of the
agricultural West of this country, did
mean the impairment of the agricul-
tural value east Of the Mississippi river
that ran up into hundreds Of millions
of dollars, it meant incidentally the
building up of great manufacturing in
dustries that added to the value of this
land by thousands of millions of dol.

were not foreseen in the seventies. The
statesmen and the publicmen of this
country did not see what part the agri.

going to play in the industrial develop.

The Emperor Nicholas and his two
brothers, George and Michael, were
educated entirely by private tutors un-

father and mother. In the magnifi-
cent Anitchkoff Palace on the Neysky
Prospekt, bare, uncarpeted room was
assigned as the school room of the i'm

ed entirely of wooden desks and
benches, and the. walls were decor

illustrated papers and pasted there by
the boys themselves.
The boys were sent to the school
room Immediately after an early
breakfast and not allowed to leave it
until noon. The afternoon was theirs

They were taught but little mathe-

Nicholas and George also had titles

three or four fires, cooked their food

camels. We also had five donkeys

SOUTHERNER'S GOOD FORTUNE
Sam Hoover Finds Something Bet.
Ter Than Gold mines.

There is no happier man in this
whole wide world today than Sam A.
Hoover of Greensboro, n. c., who is
receiving the congratulations of his
friends upon his fortunate find of
something better than gold mines or
oil wells. Mr. Hoover in. a letter to a
fciend in Bennington writes;
"Three months ago was greatly
distressed by nasal catarrh and entire
deafness in the right ear. The labor
OF hawking and scraping to get my
throat and nasal passages free from
the foul secretions deposited there
might be about equal to that of a six
mule team with road scraper to get
the earth from the roadside to the CEN
ter.
/ purchased an outfit of Hyomei and
Hyomei balm and as result OF its use
my head, throat and nasal passages
are all free from secretionS of any
sort, only as nature designed, and my
hearing in both ears is nearly acute as
it ever was.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei; just breathe
it and its pure fragrance will kill the
catarrhal germs in the head, throat
and lungs. Hyomei Balm used in con-
nection with Hvomei will cure the
worst case Of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but 81 and
extra bottles are only so cents. Ask
Druggist Gokay to show you the
strong guarantee under which he sells
Hyomei, 1t costs nothing unless 1t
cures.
