Thr01lA9 Story Of Race with Trails
with ChiId's Life % Stake.
It was Tuesday, the busiest day in
the week in many cottage homes.
Mrs. Thomas was bending over the
washtub, hard at work.
Playing with her doll in the kitchen
was Rosie. the little three-year-old
daughter Of the house.
"Muvver," she lisped, ..'me wants 90
to pay horses"
Mothers busy, darling" was the
reply. PLAY with dollie little longer"
Rosie took Mrs. Thomas advice, and
continued to plny with her doll for a
time; then, when mothers back was
turned, she toddled out to the garden
behind the house.
Along the foot of the garden ran
a branch line Of the London and North
western railway, the two being sep
arated by only poor hedge, full Of
gaps.
With her dollie under her arm Rosie
wended her way down the garden path
until she came to the hedge.
Looking through this she espied a
kitten basking In the sun on the rail-
way bank.
kitty" called Rosie; kitty, tum
here"
Kitty took no notice. SO Rosie tod
died through hole In the hedge, drop
ping her doll in the process, and was
just going to stroke the kitten when 1t
woke up and strolled Off.
Rosie followed it along the bank.
Then the kitten wandered on to the
line.
Still Rosie followed, all unconscious
Of danger.
Mrs. Thomas had now looked up
from her work and missed her little
one.
Rosie! Rosie." she called. But
there was no answer.
Remembering the railway, she
rushed out into the garden, and there
by the hedge she saw the doll.
Rosie must have strayed on to the
track; and she could hear a train COM
ing.
She wasted no time in crawling
through the hedge; and then. to her
horror, saw Rosie some distance ahead,
walking calmly towards the approach.
ing train.
In anguish the mother started at a
run, waving her apron the while in
order to attract the attention Of the
engine driver. But was 1t possible to
stop the train in time?
Nearer and nearer came the snort
ing engine, but still Rosie pursued the
kitten.
The mother, her steps fastened by
terror, sped on down the track, flying
before the engine. The rush Of wind
from the iron monster brushed her
aside into the ditch. She shut her
eyes to close out the horror. her breath
seeming to stop.
At last the terror stricken mother
heard the brake applied, and the train
began to move more slowly. Rosie
had been seen, but she was not out Of
danger yet.
Then from the footplate there leaped
the fireman.
At top speed he ran, and, racing the
engine. snatched the little one from
the line just In time.
A moment later the train passed over
the spot and came to standstill,
crushing the kitten beneath its ponder
GUS wheels. Rosie was restored to her
mother unhurt.

Newspaper advertising is generally
recognized In this day and generation
as a valuable adjunct in the business
world. 1t Is not only regarded by
large majority of retail dealers as a
necessity and one that pays compound
interest, but the buyers likewise insist
upon consulting the advertising col

In the city the popular newspaper
Is the daily. In the country the week
ly pfess has an equally strong hold on
the reader. The best argument that
advertising pays is found In the prog
ress advertising has made in the past
few years both in the city daily and
the country weekly.
There is as much reason why the
country dealer should advertise In his
local newspaper as that the city adver-
tlser should persistently cry his goods
In the city daily. 1t Is probable that
the country merchant gets fully as
large returns from his advertising, ac-
cordlng to the amount expended, as
does the city dealer.

In preparing his advertisements the

an advertisement are not all realized
In a week or even month. The re-

A PROPHECY of PROSPERITY.
Significance of Order for New Rail-
road Equipment.

ShlSdBo inter ocean.
The executive officers of one of our great
railway systems has ordered fifty miles
Of locomotives and cars. Included were
1876 locomotives, seventy-five chair cars and
900 freight cars. The order calls for an
expenditure of 100000. and the new cars
are to be delivered early next year.
The most important item in the con-
tract is that relating to freight cars. The
800 cars ordered represent in tonnage
the carrying capacity of 10. 400 of the freight
cars In use twenty-five years ago. This
is true of all the new cars on the several
railway systems, and not one but all the
great railways have ordered or will order
new equipment this year.
The orders are proportionately as large
as the order Of the Hartman system given
recently, and in every case the carrying
capacity Of the roads has been greatly
increased.
All the railways centering IN Chicago re-
port Increase in business, and all are pre-
pairing for further increase next year. on
the lakes more ships are under construc-
ton than In any previous year, and all
signs point to the steady enlargement of
lake commerce. The new lake freight car
riers, like the new freight cars, are of
enlarged capacity. so that the same num-
Der OF new vessels will carry two or three
times the tonnage OF the old ones.
II the renewal of railway equipment were
peculiar TO one railway system 1t would
mean that conditions Indicative OF con-
tinued and increased prosperity prevailed
on all the lines of that system. But as
all the great railways are renewing and
increasing equipment the conditions indlca-
tive Of prosperity must be common 70 all
parts Of the country.
The new equipment, however, indicates
more than improvements In railway bust
ness. 1t means more work for the foun-
dries and machine shops more demand
for the products OF our mines, more de-
mand for labor.
The railway managers in preparing for
an expected increase in passenger and
freight trafic, are contributing to the en-
largement OF our industries. They see in
the immediate future more abundant crops,
with an increase of all those products
that make our internal commerce the
largest in the world.
II Japan or Russia should order 1856 new
locomotives and $500 freight cars, the
commercial world would be in a fever of
excitement as 70 the significance OF the
order. One railway system In the United
States orders an expenditure OF 81, 900, 600
for new equipment and the commercial
world accepts the order as a matter OF
course. And yet, were there not warrant
for the construction Of thousands OF new
cars they would not be ordered.
The mere fact that thousands OF new
cars have been ordered, not by one rail-
way, but by several. Is In itself . prophecy
Of continued prosperity.

TIE orEsrION OF TRADE.


The thought of the commercial world
turns readily from the contemplation Of
war to consideration Of the trade pos
slbilities following peace. II is the opin-
ion abroad, as noted in a London dis
patch, that In the near future the
changed condition Of affairs in the far
east will bring enormous trade develop
ments in which the United States and
Great Britain will be the largest par
Elephants. Among American exporters
are some who do not take an optimistic
view of the outlook. One of these is
quoted as saying that he does not ex-
pect any boom in Japanese business
such as followed the war with China,
ten years ago, for the reason that the
japanese people are not in condition to
buy largely. Another exporter re-
marked that while the beneficial effects
to be derived from peace in the far east
undoubtedly would first be felt in Man
churia, nothing in the way Of substantial
trade increase could be expected for
many months to come. 1T is easy" he
said, "for statesmen and editorial writ
ers to speculate upon the future-what
the results will be years and decades
from now-but the commercial world is
particularly interested in the present"
The view Of these American mer-
chants, who look at the situation in a
purely practical way, is doubtless cor
rect. While it is a fact that the indus
tries and commerce Of Japan have been
thriving throughout the war, yet the
people CT that country have a much
heavier burden of taxation than before
and must observe for a considerable
time a much greater economy than is
proverb.al with them. This will also be
necessary for the government, which has
at least three times as much debt to
take care of as it had before the war,
without any material increase In rev.
enue. Thus development will be slow, at
least for several years. AS to Man
churia 1t will take considerable time to
restore normal conditions. The ports of
that country are said to be now con-
gested with goods intended for the in
terror and until these are disposed Of
there is not likely to be a demand for
more. No one can say just when trade
in that quarter of the world will recover
from the setback incident to the war,
but there will be recovery and American
manufacturers and merchants should be
prepared to take advantage of it, for
they will have to meet a formidable
competition.

GERMANS ABROAD.
Spread of the TeutOniC Race In
Various Countries.
New York Tribune.


Some recent imperial statistics In Ger
many give interesting information, though
not entirely pleasing to Germany, concern
ing the number and place of German sub
jects or former subjects in foreign lands.
There are, It appears, outside of the Ger
man empire more than 100000 persons who
were born within It and were thus Its ma
tural subjects and there are also more
than $4,000 who are or were not native but
adopted subjects. Against this loss of more
than 3450,OOO Germany has gained fewer
than So, 900 inhabitants froma abroad, of
whom four-ffths are from the adjacent
countries Of Austria, Holland. Switzerland
and Russia. OF the $4,000 emigrants all
but an insignificant minority have become
naturalized in their new homes, and thus
are permanently lost to the fatherland,
while a much smaller proportion of the
immigrants have become naturalized in
Germany.
The distribution of the expatriated Ger
mans is worthy of notice More than three
fourths OF them, or 2,669,16I, are in the
United States. Russia, not counting Fin
land, comes next, with ISL. 1O2; Switzerland
has ls4, $780, Austria, lOs.364; France, sO.74s
and Great Britain, S.4O2 OF lands beyond
the seas, after America, Australia has re-
ceived the largest number, 426n, while
a. 3O2 are found in Canada. In view OF all
that has been said about the significant
influx OF Germans into South America, and
the creation there OF vast German colonies
which would soon demand political annexa-
ton to the fatherland, 1t is interesting to
observe that Argentina has received the
largest number in that continent, but only
l7,14S, while no figures are given for Brazil
or any other South American country for
the reason that the reports take no account
of any country in which there are fewer
than 10000 Germans.
We have said the purport of these sta
tistics is not entirely pleasing TO Germany
That is because with all this loss OF its
subjects the empire Is building up no tribu-
tary states. It Is coloniEing allen lands,
but Is planting no colonies OF its own.
These millions OF exiles are lost TO the
fatherland. They have not created a state
or a single town that can be added TO Ger
many. 1t was the misfortune of Germany
that she entered upon her so-cailed colonial
policy at too late date. The eligible parts
OF the earth. in which important colonies
might be planted and developed, were al
ready pre-empted. There was nothing left
for her but tropical wildernessss In which
at best she could maintain military posts
and a few traders, and maintain them not
for profit. but at q heavy cost. She has
acquired a vast colonial area, but she is
unable to direct toward 1t any. considerable
part of her great stream OF emigration.

Of starting another boom for the bicycle
1t is an exceedingly difhcult matter to
create boom by purely artificial methods,
but we sincerely hope that this effort will
succeed. The bicycle boom is a boom
which deserves to be doomed. Call II what
ever you Ikea craze or a fad-the popu-
lar interest and enthusiasm for the wheel
which swept over the country a few. years
ago was one Of the happiest and healthiest
"crazes" that ever struck the American

come again too soon or stay too long. How
much those years Of bicycle activity added
to the sum total of innocent human enjoy
ment, human vitality and energy. 1t would
be impossible to estimate, but we venture
the statement without fear Of contradic-
ton, that no other modern contrivance of
human devjsing has contributed so largely
to these benefits as the wheel.

BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

Inquiries have come to The Bee from
parties seeking information on behalf Of
the republican organizations Of several
outside Nebraska counties, asking
whether nominations should be made
this year of candidates for county COM
missioner. To these inquiries The Bee
replies that republicans in all counties
in which commissioners would other
wise have been elected should make
sure that they are on the safe side by
putting commissioner candidates on
their tickets irrespective of the new
law enacted by the legislature.
The question whether commissioners
are to be chosen this year has been
passed on here in Douglas county upon
a test made by application for writ of
mandamus to compel the printing of the
names of candidates for commits
sioner on the official primary ballot.
While it is true that this is a decision
subject to review and possible reversal
by the supreme court, 1t is neverthe-
less understood that it was reached after
conference OF several OF the judges of
the district court and conforms to the
opinions Of the best lawyers who have
looked into the subject. Under the
ruling Of the court the attempt Of the
legislature to change the commissioners
terms has failed altogether with the
failure Of the biennial elections law. SO
that no part Of the new law relating to
the election of county commissioners
holds good.
Republicans In counties In which con
ventiOns are yet TO be held will make
no mistake in nominating candidates fol
county commissioner for those districts
In which the terms of the present in
cumbents would expire with the end OF
this year, and in counties in which con
ventiOns have already been held without
making such nominations the county
committee should provide for filinl
names, the same as IL a vacancy existed

American Sea Rovers.


The American invasion Of Europe this
summer has been greater than ever before.
Perhaps before the close OF the century so
per cent Of Europe's population will have
become American citizens, and then will
make an annual journey to the old country
to study the ways Of their ancestors. AL
ready the transatlantic steamships are
taxed to carry and bring back the thou
sands who annually get the European
fever, and as the travel increases con-
stantly there must be yet more big liners
to accommodate the American sea rovers.
