SPENDING MILLIONS.
Hartman Is Putting Enormous sums
In Betterments.

4
Hartman lines In the West are to
receive marked attention In the way
of betterments and, according to in
formation. between 100000 and
$s,000,o00 are to be spent for new
rails, new equipment. double track
/ ing and alignment and the extension
of the electric block signal system.
A certain percentage of this money
will be spent on the Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific lines In Colora-
do and a number OF the new engines
and the other rolling stock will go
there. President Hartman seems
to to be pursuing at present a policy
entirely different from that of most
railroad magnates Instead of be-
ing satisfied with buying, selling and
exchanging bonds and stocks. he is
putting real millions into better
ments, and 1t has just been learned
that the Lucin cutoff at Ogden, in
stead of costing $4,000,000 as at
first estimated. actually cost s10,-
00o. 900.
The sS,000.000 TO be spent for
new rails and new equipment during
1905 does net include the cost OF
eauipping sixty miles OF the line with
electric block signals nor the double
tracking and alignment According
tho hn
ing stock comprises 100 locomotives,
which will cost not less than 81 ,600,-
900, Among these will be eighty
two consolidated engines.
In the freight equipment a total
of 1900 cars have been ordered, of
which 1000 are forty-ton stock cars
for use in the West This part of
the order will cost not less than
$500 600.
The passenger department of the
Hartman lines will also fare well
and among the coaches ordered there |
are thirty-four modern sixty foot |
ears, fifty modern sixty-foot chair |
coaches. five observation cars and |
five seyenty-foot dining cars. In ad-
dition to this number Of baggage |
cars. hospital cars and cabooses are
being built In the Hartman shops.
A total of so.223 tons of steel
rails have been ordered and 9a22 |
tons of continuous rail points This
order alone will cost about $1,000
10000.
In Texas nearly all branches of the
lines are receiving attention. AL
ready heavy steel is down along the
entire distance of the Houston and
Texas Central: the Houston East and
West Texas is being rehabilitated
with all the rapidity possible: in the
Ell paso section all arrangements
have beer concluded for the replac-
Ing OF over forty miles Of light steel

CHOOSING PRESENTS.

IT'S an awful tax on ones ingenu-
ity to pick out presents for ones
friends. but when it comes to picking
out gifts for ones relations a man
finds himself up against a fearful
proposition" remarked Mr.. E. II.
Sothern the other day. Now, there's
my brother Sam, for instance. He
is the most finicky, captious, epicurean
SOFT of a chap, when it comes to re-
ceiNing presents, of any one know.
In MY capacity of elder brother used
to III axe point of giving present to
Sam on his birthday, but have stop
ped it now since certain little ex-
perience l had with him some years
ago. He had put aside so many OF
MY birthday gifts that this year l de-
cided to employ ruse. So l went to
Sam the day before his birthday and
said, Look here, Sam. ] want you to
come down to the jewelers. with me
and pick out as handsome present
as you can find for me to give Rich
ard Harding Davis. Dicks been
awfully kind and nice to me lately.
He let me buy one of his plays which
wasn't any good, and-well, l don't
know; l just want to show him ! ap-
preciate all his little kindnesses.' So
Sam and I went to the jewelers., and
after half an hours work Sam finally
picked out very gorgeous and elab.
crate scarfpin.
Are you sure that Dick will like
that?" asked him.
why, of course he'll like it; he is
:. fool if he doesn't said Sam, "it's a
magnificent pin"
The next morning at breakfast, after
a few elderly brotherly remarks
handed the pin to Sam Instantly the
air became blue with the oaths that
issued from him in an unholy torrent.
Stung and shocked by the way he
received the gift, | cried out with
equal Indignation:
"Well, - it, you told me it was
a magnificent pin, you picked it out
yourself; you said it was all right"
yes" Sam shouted back, 81 said it
was all right for Dick Davis; l
wouldn't be seen dead with it on

Col. Watterson says the Democratic
party wants to get back to the tarln.
The Democratic party wants to get in
touch with live issues. 1t must cease
being a defensive party. It must quit
fighting meritorious measures of gov
ernment merely because those meas.
ures originated with the Republicans.
The Democratic party must cease as
the echo of dead issues and become
the voice of the live and progress
i've present. It must cease sitting on
the fence and looking at the process

the head of the procession and take

THE LIMIT AND SOME QUESTIONS

When Mrs. Igorrote made her bow
to the American public a few years
ago, it pointed it's finger at her and
cried '.for shame" and to spare Mrs.
Americas bushes, Mrs. l. was fore
ed to add ruffle CT two and some
shoulder straps.
A certain society paper, discussing
decollete costumes recently, remark
ed that Mrs. AS dress was not real
ly cut lower than Mrs. BIS, but her
limit was greater"
Oh, woman! thy name is inconsist-
ency. Mrs. Society is rapidly reach
ing the limit" and when she does,
and extremes meet" Mrs. Igorrote
can give her pointers on modesty and
womanly decency and virtue. Then
one wonders why-anything indecent
at any time or place can be decent at
all in another. Why-a strip Of sand
or bit of water should sanction the
extreme abbreviation of skirt that
the wearer would not dare to appear
in on the street. Why-gaslight is
any excuse for gown so low-cut that
the wearer would be arrested for lin
decent exposure" if she appeared on
the public thoroughfare at midday.
Why-because music has a certain
rhythm, man Gin society"-nO mat
ter how depraved his morals-can put
. his arm around lady and assume at
titudes that would bring him a kick
or a horsewhip from every one of her
male relatives if ATTEMPTED upon tn,
street or at church or any other
gathering. Why-"naked innocence
! should bring the blush to a woman =
, cheek; and she gaze, in company with
any number of male friends, upon the
Original ADAM" correct in every de-
tail upon canvass or magazine paper
and never turn an eyelash." Why
she can kiss the Shiny, dirty muzzl
Of brute, and refuse to know tn
sweetness of baby rose-leaf lips. Why
she scorns her "demi' sister and
fashions her attire and conduct as
much like hers as possible. Why

why we-the women-dare not throw
stones.-Frances Gilbreath Ingersoll

People have scarcely made mp their
is a philosopher or fakir. Certainly
he is seldom a fool.
Put
Elbertus makes some bad lapses.
Having no religion of his own to
speak of, Hubbard delights himself
in poking at other peoples religion.
That is a mistake.
The man who jabs at things SO sa-
cred as mans religion lays himself
liable. To put it on critical grounds
alone, the destructive critic is always
in danger. No shrewd dialectican
ever will champion negative. And
when you say another mans religion
is false or a sham you are up against
it to prove that yours is better one.
Of late Mr.. Hubbard has been going
after the enthusiastically Mr..
Chapman and "Billy" Sunday, whom
he charges with being in the business
for revenue only.
Which, of course, invites attention
to Mr.. Hubbard's own style of graft.
Now
Simply because man is engaged
ir religious work, must he strive or
go naked? 1t might easily be shown
that the two revivalsists mentioned
are able to make more money at other
business. And what they earu they
are entitled to.
But
The main thing is this Some Of
their methods aside, methods that DC
an immense amount OF good. Last
winter Mr. Chapman cleaned up Den
YER morally as it was never cleaned
before. And BILLY" Sunday has liter
f, allv transformed the atmosphere Of
scores of towns.
Can Mr.. Hubbard point to any such
acomplshments?
These revivalsts attack the citade
of good citizenship-men's hearts
They fight evil in low and high places
They develcp civic righteousness.
The fact is, the East Aurora philoso
pher (no fakir) should infuse more
sweetness and light into this philoso
ply.
He needs a wider vision of the
need for helpfulness.
And more charity in his heart.
This is a big world and its way:

there are multitude of highways.

1oLsToY's EXPERIENCE IN "a.

1t is interesting III connection with
;1e present war to find in Prince Kro-
potkin's Russian Literature" an ac-
count of Tolstoy's youthful military
rrowess. "He lived through all the
dreadful experiences of the defenders
of Sebastopol * - He has the
right to speak of war; he knows it
from Within" Kropotkin points out
the pertinent facts that Tolstoy lob
stinately refused during the siege to
become an officer of the staff, and re-
11ained with his battery in the most
dangerous spots," and that, though he
seems never again to have written
verse, he at that time composed, In
the unusual metre language of SOL
diers' songs, satirical song in which
he described the blunders of the COM
manders which ended in the Balak-
lava disaster. The song, written in
an admirable popular style. could not
be printed but it spread over Russia
in thousands of copies, and was wide
ly sung, both during and Immediately
after the campaign. The name of the
author leaked out. but there was some
uncertainty as to whether it was the
author Of the Sebastopol sketches or
some other Tolstoy" And now Tol-
stoy's son is taking part in the new
war The fathers attitude is reflected
in a letter written recently by Nine.

rreads upon sponge. But l cared not
for where the grass grew short ana
,hickest there l knew the ground
would bear.
Presently sharp screech sent an ex-
ultant thrill through me, and twenty
wards ahead two snipe rose, dartlng
off in zig-zag fight at a tremendous
pace. Having vainly expended two
cartridges upon them, l decided to
make a ong c.rc,lit wlici. according
to my calculations, would bring me
home by dusk.
Tired, but satisfied with my sport,
I had arrived within quarter of
mile of the bog's edge, when from
clump of rushes loud quacking told
me that ducks were near. By their
splashing 1 judged that there were
several, so, crouching, l approached
stealthily.
Whether the birds saw me or not |
cannot say, but of sudden they rose.
Thinking to get better view of them.
l moved some yards to right, and gave
them the contents of both barrels. AS
l did so my right foot sank into the
ground. In a flash it passed through
my mind what had occurred. wrench.
ed it free. The mud gurgled, and the
effort sunk my left leg to the knee.
Again l struggled. This time found
it impossible to raise either leg above
the ground.
In the first horror of my plight l
had not noticed that the mud was
slowly drawing me down. Now 1
VISA submerged to my waist
This bog was going to be my grave!
The mud soon reached my elbows.
1 tried to collect my thoughts. Ny
eyes fell on the gun. Better far to
end my sufferings quickly than to fe,l
the cold mud oozing about my neck,
then creeping up, icy as serpent,
towards my mouth, and then
Across the bog the lights from my
friends house cleaned l recalled his
promise to meet me. Perhaps even
now he was on his way.
The horrible sensation of sinking
had ceased. Under my feet it seemed
to be solid ground
BY this time the sun had set. My
limbs ached with cold, and my nerves
less fingers could scarce retain their
hold upon the gun.
Was II a shout I nearu, OF was II
some wild freak of Iancv? It came
from behind me- With an effort look
ed over my shoulder. I saw a light
q bright yellow light
fired my gun. A score OF startled
ducks rose and vanished noisliy into
the darkness. The light drew nearer,
and a few minutes later, to my joy,
I heard my friends CHEEKY voice.
With the help of ropes and planks 1
was socn rescued from my perilous
position, half frozen with cold.
