1t Is worth while going through a
lot Of dust to get one diamond.
1t is easy to preach contentment
after your salary has been raised.
There are too many men praying
for peace with their fists clenched.
Men who shine for their own glory
generally throw many gloomy shad-
ows.
1t takes more than information
about Christ to secure confirmation to
Him.
sometimes God takes away our
message that We may listen to His
music.
1t takes more than the amen" at
the end to convert a Jingle into an
anthem.
The politician may fool the people
bit he meets disaster when he defles
their God.
God does not ask about mans at
titude toward Him; He wants his
relationship.
1t Is good deal easier to criticise
the Bible than it is to crystalline IL
into conduct.
Many a man would be more pre-
possessing II he were less anxious to
be possessing.
Many man thinks he Is preaching
the Gospel when he Is only working
off his crouch.
The enduement from Heaven may
be waiting for our endowment with
the things Of earth.
The love of God Is the only thing
that will make you love all kinds Of
people all the time.
The financial reports never take
any sleep from the man whose treas
ures are in Heaven.
That is but an imperfect science
which studies world of effects and
neglects their cause.
Many man who would make a
flrst-rate candle Is making grand
flzzle as an arc-light.
The preacher whose first thought Is
Of drawing his salary Is not doing
much at drawing souls.
Better be despised like Zaccheus
the tax-gatherer than to die like
Ananias the tax-dodger.
The time will come when our sins
themselves will be even more elo-
quent than our excuses for them.
One of the blacklist sins is that Of
praying for the souls of men to save
the expense Of caring for their bodies.
1t is no use praying for the saliva
ton of your grocer when he is sitting
up nights thinking about your old
| bills.
1t is folly, though often appropriate,
to announce the verse, Nothing In
my hand bring" just before the Of
fering.

ALL ARE HUSTLlNG TO
Reach PACIFIC COAST

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct 12.-Three
completed within a couple of years,
according to the latest developments in
Central Western railway orioles. Tues.
day the Wisconsin Central lines took
in Erie capital and men identified with
the Morgan Hill group, and the Cen.
trail will be the connecting link between
the Erie on the east and the Great
Northern on the west.
To meet this condition of affairs,
long foreseen, the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul has made arrangements for
a line to the West. terminating at Ia
coma, with lines to Seattle and Port
land. The company officials deny that
such a plan is under consideration,
and itw as denied at the last meeting
of the road in Milwaukee that such a
step had been considered. Secretary
Adamss denied that the road had just
paid 1000, 900 for tidewater property
in Tacoma, including rights of way
into that city, but from other sources
it is known here that suoh a deal has
already been ratified by the directors.
The line will be extended from Cham.
berlain, South Dakota, to meet the Ia.
coma Eastern. and the Milwaukee road
will take over entirely new property in
Tacoma and build great new station.
In connection with this deal is an
other plan to meet the Hill Morgan
com bination. The Canadian Pacific
will connect with the new St. Paul
Pacific line, and will be given the
traffic in its territory, which has hith.
erto gone over the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines. This will be
done by a branch line connecting the
two lines along the Pacific coast. The
eastern end Of the system will be by a
junction with the Pennsylvania lines
at Chicago.
The third transcontinental line is
said to be a plan Of the Northwestern,
with the Vanderbilt lines in the East,
to strike for Portland. The details Of
this project are extremely hazy, as
Northwestern officials refuse to talk Of
the question at all.

RAMSEY OUSTeD.
Gould wins Ills right for control
of Wabash.

Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 12.-Joseph Ram.
sey, Jr., failed completely in his effort
to wrest control of the Wabash system
from George J. Gould. Not only was
he defeated in all he undertook, but he
was forced from the directory Of the
road. He put up hard fight and
struggled gamely to the last. but was
so hopelessly in the minority that he
never had a chance. He filed protests
all through the meeting, not with the
purpose, he afterward declared, Of be-
ing an obstructionist, but because he
desired to lay the foundation for any
contest that might hereafter be made.

viii Build Great Docks.

In fact, Mr.. Pfeffer, in an authori-
tative capacity, confirmed many ru.
mors which have been afloat in rail-
road circles for some weeks and told of
the plans Of the company to erect great
docks on the east side Of the Puyallup
river, with a view TO making Tacoma
the principal port of shipment when
the road is completed.
Mr.. Pfeffer said it had been neces-
sary to maintain as much secrecy as
possible in purchasing the terminal
lands, as publicity would only subject
the company to holdups on the part of
the owners of the property, and that
the Milwaukee had only followed the
we'll known policy Of all railroads in
such matters. He added, however,
that. in view of the publicity given
the transactions made during the past
few days, there was no longer any ne.
cessity or use of denying the intentions
of the Milwaukee to come to the coast
"You may say for me-" said Mr..
Pfeffer, that Tacoma will soon have
the benefit of the 1000 miles of terri.
tory covered by the Milwaukee, which
will be increased to about 5000 miles
by the time the road reaches the Paci-
fic coast. The road will come into Ia
coma over its own tracks and it will
have the largest docks in the city when
its plans for the improvement of its
terminals are completed.

chase of property on the Tacoma tide
lands, but made the first authoritative
statement yet given out that the Mil
waukee road is coming to Tacoma and
that the land purchased is to be used
for terminal purposes.
Until yesterday such admission had
never been made by an accredited rep
resentative of the company, but now
that the Milwaukee has secured and
has under option what lands will be
needed for terminals here, secrecy is
no longer maintained, and Mr.. Pfeffer
talked freely Of the plans of the com.

thorized the statement last night that
the Milwaukee now has surveying par.
ties working east of the mountains.
