MARKETING POTATO CROPS.
How the Railroads Made It Possible
for the Growers to Get Fair
Prices.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley, of Yale University, in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle, of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com.
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest of
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions OF New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields,
At normal rates and prices there would
have been a giut Of the customary
markets and the potatoes would have
rotted on the farms. To help the po-
tato growers, the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to place so remote as Bos-
ton The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes, and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine railroad
reduced it's already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the pota-
to crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody eats
potatoes, and that year everybody had
all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
tie railroads, had they been applied to
tut IllO VI ali pOldlOto dI dll IllllCS,
to all places, they helped their patrons to
find markets then. The Boston and Maine
Railroad suffered decrease in its rev.
enue from potatoes, but it enabled the
Aroostook farmers to market their crop
and thereby to obtain money which
they spent for the varied supplies
which the railroads brought to them.
If the making of rates were subject to
Governmental adjustment, such rad
ical and prompt action could never
have been taken, because it is we'll es-
tablished that if rate be once re-
duced by a railroad company, it can
not be restored through the red tape
of Governmental procedure. If the
Michigan railroads and the Boston and
Maine Railroad had been subjected to
Governmental limitation they would
have felt obliged to keep up their rates,
as do the railroads of France and Eng
land and Germany under Governmental
limitation, and let the potatoes rot

Was Cured in Four Months.
Because he did not know that there is
remedy for ataxia, Mr.. Ariel endured
four years of weakness, pain and the
misery of thinking his case incurable.

Company B, Eighth Regiment, M.V.M.,
into camp at ChickaGauga, and while
there my system became thoroughly
poisoned with malaria. When I was
home with me. After q while locomotor
ataxia appeared"
How did the ataxia begin?"
"I first noticed n pain in my ankles
and knee joints. This was followed by
numb feeling in my legs. At times I
had to drag myself around; my legs
would shake or become perfectly dead.
l had constant trouble in getting about
in the dark. I kept a light burning in
my room at night as could not balance
myself in the darkness. Even with the
aid of light I wobbled, and would
reach out and catch hold of chairs to
prevent myself from falling?'
Glow long were you a sufferer"
"Four years i'll all. During the last
three years was confined to bed, some
times for week, again for three or four
weeks at time. When I was lying
down the pain in my back was fire.
quently SO severe that 1 had to be helped
mp and put in chair to get little re-
lief. I had considerable pain in my
bowels and no control over my kidneys.
The worst Of all was that the doctor
could give me no hope of recovery"
"How were you cured?"
"I read that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and
one or two friends spoke to me about
them. In the fall of 1903 I began to take
them for myself and had not used
more than one box before found that
the pains in my knees and ankles were
greatly relieved. Four months after
ward became perfectly we'll man, and
l am today enjoying the best of health"
Mr.. Edward H. Ariel lives at No. 43
Powow street, Amesbury, Mass. Every
sufferer from locomotor ataXia should try
DIR. Williams Pink Pills without delay.
Any druggist can supply them.

KAISER A POOR MAN.
HAS DIFFICULTY IN MEETING
EXPENSES DESPITE INCOME.
German Emperor Receives $5,ooo,-
600 Annually-Spends Little for
Clothing and Luxuries-
Where Money Goes.

| London.--The German emperor, with
an annual income of approximately
| G1,000,00O, is poor man, and has great
difficulty in making both ends meet He
does not receive a farthing in his ca
pacity as German emperor, but full
| fills the duties of his honorary position
| free of charge to the federation of Ger
man states. The kaiser draws his in
come. first, as king of Prussia, and, sec
| ond, as private landowner.
His income as king of Prussia
amounts approximately to G 100000 per
annum. The emperor of Russia re-
ceives an annual allowance of approxi-
mately &1,000,000, and the emperor of
Austria an annual allowance of more
than 6 100000. Both these monarchs
receive additional allowances for GER
tain definite purposes, and both of them
own vast landed estates far superior in
acreage to the German emperors pos
sessions.
The sultan of Turkey receives an an
nual allowance of &2,000,000, and the
king of Italy draws over 100000 per
annum, while the incomes of several
monarchs of smaller states are nearly
as large as that of the king of Prussia.
The amount of GS00000 granted an
nually to the German emperor in his
capacity of king of Prussia is not taken
from the national eXchequer, but from
revenues from state dominions which
were formerly the private property of
the Prussian royal house. The crown
lands were handed over to the state,
and in return the state pays fixed an
nual income to the monarch.
The kaiser owns SO landed estates,
comprising a total of 250,0O0 acres. He
is the greatest land owner in Germany.
The kaiser's workmen are paid alb
normally high wages, and all his en-
ployes receive liberal pensions in their
old age or in case of sickness He also
provides literally for their widows and
children out of his private purse. All

these payments consume large pro-
portion of the profits, SO that the en-
perors income from his estates is COM
paratively small.
Practically speaking, the German EN-
peror is thus obliged to live on his royal
income of 6 800 600 per annum, which is
altogether insufficient for his require
ments The kaiser has no personal eX-
travagauces, but lives simple and
strenuous life of hard work and little
luxury. He spends little money on his
liable, for the cuisine of the German i'm
perial residence is notorious for its in
feriority.
The kaiser is not dandy. and spends
a comparatively small amount every
year on his clothes. The horses he
rides are not particularly good breed,
and not unusually expensive. He is not
a gambler, and does not indulge in other
dissipations which would be eXcusable
in his position.
He is, however, extravagant in one re-
spect namely, in keeping up the i'm
perial magnificence of his court on a
scale never previously attempted by a
king of Prussia. The support of rela-
tives forms first charge on the kaiser's
income. He has to provide an annual
income for his six sons. and has to main
tain a separate court for several more
distant relatives.

dor in which he lives at home. Wher-

large suite of officers and gentlemen and
of household and court officials
During his recent Mediterranean trip
the kaiser gave away 80 diamond rings
l50 diamond pins, 33 necklaces, 80 gold
en- watches, 100 golden cigarette cases,
and 20 other articles of jewelry to va
rious persons from whom he received
attention in the course of his journey.
The whole Mediterranean trip is es-
timated to have cost 100000. The
cost of the kaiser's journey TO Pales-
tine six years ago exceeded G100000.
Apart from his expenditure for pur-
poses of royal display, the kaiser de-
votes large sum every year to the en-
couragement of art and Of the drama
He is continually ordering monuments
to be erected at his own expense, and
buys pictures for presentation to pub
lie galleries.
The kaiser maintains the Royal opera
house, the Royal theater in Berlin, and
the Royal theater at Weisbaden at his
own expense. All three theaters are
conducted only partially as profit max
ing concerns.
With all these financial burdens the
kaiser is unable to make both ends meet
on his income, and has been obliged to
borrow money from some of his wealthy
subjects. The kaiser has never bor-
rowed money from Prussian noblemen,
but only from great commercial mag.
nates and millionaire manufacturers.

that Louisburg would be taken.
1t was at dinner after the surrender
and in commemoration of that event
that Mr. Moody uttered that remarkable
blessing which was at once concise and
to the admiration as well as disappoint-
ment of all present. Sir William Pep
perell and others, knowing his usual
proliXity on such occasions, were fearful
the dinner might get cold; yet knowing
his arbitrary and independent disposi-
ton, no one would take the liberty to
suggest to him that brevity in his ad-
dress to the Throne of Grace was desir-
able. All unconscious of theiy feeling,
Mr.. Moody approached the table, and,
lifting up his hands, expressed himself
thus:
20, Lord, we have so many things to
thank Thee for that time will be in
initely too short to do it. We must.
therefore, leave it for the works of
eternity. Bless our food and fellowship
on this joyful occasion, for Christ's
sake. Amen"
The old minister returned to York in
good health and resumed his labors
with his people. Two years later he
died in great distress of body, lying in
the arms of his son. His remains lie
buried in the old cemetery near the
meeting house in York village.
