In reply to the request of our cor

the Corporation Committee the names
of the directors of smaller roads

1t will be noted that the directors
are in large part capitalists, manufac-
tuners, cotton mill men and politicians;
and while few of them may be bona

shine, either through purchase or as
representing communities or counties
or cities owning stock, a glance at the

TELEPHONE AS REFORMER.
An Example of the Surprising Effect
It May Have on Our
Morals

Congressman Bingham, at a dinner of
the Philadelphia Clover club, spoke of
modern life in the most optimistic way,
relates the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The world is growing better" he said.
DAILY it becomes cleaner, kinder, and
more upright. Nearly everything makes
for reform. Even the telephone has ire
mendous reforming influence.
Let me give you an example of the
surprising effect that the telephone exer-
cises over our morals.
"A certain man, at breakfast one morn
ing, said to his wife: -ra.4.
Ny dear, I'll not be home to dinner
tonight, and you had better not sit up for
me, as l shall be detained very late at the
Office posting my books

The Dakota man fairly Rugged dad,
and he told dad in confidence that they
two could divide up money enough to
make them richer than they ever
dreamed of, and all the morning they
discussed the plan. and made a list of
things they would need to get away
with the money. They provided them
selves with canvas sacks to carry away
the gold. and dad drew all his money
out of the bank, and that evening we
took train for Monte Carlo. All
the way here dad and his new friend
chuckled over the sensation they would
make among the gamblers, and l be-
came real interested in the scheme.
There was to be some fun besides the
winning Of the money, because they
talked of going out in the park and on
the terraces when they were tired of
winning money. and seeing the poor

Wanted to Say Something TO the Old
Woman and the Way Was
Opened.

'T was in Long Island village last
summer" said a New York lawyer. ac-
cording to the Cleveland Leader, when a
big automobile came tearing along, and
just in front of the post Office it struck
and killed a big hog belonging to vii
lager who was leaning over his gate at
the time.
How fast was the machine going?' I
asked of him, as he came out and looked
after the flying auto.
Forty miles an hour, he replied.
Then you can make the owner pay
for your hog

i shall fool with the case

Dear Uncle Ezra: do not know how
to write you the sequel to this tragedy.
After our Dakota partner, with the
Black Hills system of beating a rou-
lette game, had won the first bet, he
never guessed the right color again,
and dad had no more use for the rake.
Every time he bet and lost, he would
reach out to dad for more money, and
dad would reach into another pocket
and dig up another roll, and the coun-
tess would laugh and dad had to act
as though he enjoyed losing money.
1t was about dark when dad had
fished up the last hundred dollars and
it was gone before dad could wink back
to the countess, then the Dakota man
looked at dad for more, and dad shook
his head and said it was all off, and
they looked at each other minute,
and then we all three got up anG went
out in the park to see the people who
had gone broke commit suicide, but
there was not a revolver shot and dad
and the Dakota man sat down on a
seat and looked at the moon.
Dad looked at the Dakota man and
said: You started me in all right.
What happened to your system?" The
Dakota man was silent for moment,
and then he pointed to me and said:
THAT imp of yours crossed his fingers
every time bet, except the first time"
Dad called me to him, and he said:
"Hennery, let this be a lesson to you.
Never to cross your fingers. You have
ruined your dad" and he turned his
pockets inside out, and hadn't change
for dollar note, and he gave me the
empty sack to carry, and we went to
our suite of rooms, knowing we would
be fired out into the cold world
1t will take week to get money
from the states, and we may be sent
to the work house, as we are broke,
and haven't got the means even to
commit suicide. Don't tell ma.

devils who had gone broke commit
suicide, as that is said to be one of the
features Of the place.
Well, we got suite of rooms and the
first day we looked over the place, and
ate free banquets and saw how the peo-
pie dressed, and just looked prosper
GUS and showed money on the slight
est provocation, and got the hang of
things. Dad was to go in the big gam
bling room in the afternoon with his
pockets fairly dropsical with money,
and the Dakota man was to do the
betting, and dad was to hold one of the
canvas bags, and when it was full we
were to take it to our room, and quit
gambling for awhile, to give the bank
chance to raise more money. Dad
insisted that his partner should lose
small bet once in awhile, SO the bank
should not get on to the fact that we
had cinch.
After luncheon we entered the big
gambling room, in full-dress suits,
and, by gosh! it was like a kings re-
ception. There were hundreds of men
and women, dressed for a party, and it
did not seem like a gambling hell, ex-
cept that there were piles of gold as
big as stoves, on all the tables, and the
guests were provided with silver rakes,
with long handles, to rake in the
money. Dad said in a whisper to the
Dakota man: what is the use of
taking the trouble to run gold mine,
and get all dirtied up digging dirty
nuggets, when you can get nice, clean
gold, all coined, ready to spend, by
betting right?" And then dad turned
to me and he said: "Hennery, don't
let the sight of this wealth make you
avaricious. Don't be purse-proud when
you find that your poor father, after
years of struggle against adversely, and
the Vaccinations of designing men, has
got next to the Pierpont Morgan class,
and has money to buy railroads. Don't
get excited when we begin to bag the
money, but just act as though it was
a regular thing with us to salt down
our gold for winter, the same as we do
our pork"
A count, or duke, gave us nice
seats, and rakes to haul in the money,
countess, with a low-necked dress,
winked at dad when he reached into
his pistol pocket and brought out roll
of bills and handed them to the Dakota
man, who bought $500 worth of red
chips, and when the man looked the
roulette table over and put about pint
of chips on the red, dad choked up so
he was almost black in the face, and

pool with the cash register boy in the
barroom, and dad took hymn book
and went out, looking pious as I ever
saw him.
My, what a difference there was in
dad in the morning. l woke up about
daylight, and dad came into the room
with a strange man, with spinach on
his chin, and they began to dance, like
they had seen the people dance, at the
show where they had passed the even
ing. They were undressed, except their
underclothes, which were these combi-
nation suits, so when man gets into
them he is sealed up like a bologna,
and he has to have help when he wants
to get out to take bath, and he has
to have an outsider button him in with
a button hook. Gee! / would rather
be sausage and done with it. Well,
dad and this man from Dakota kicked
high until dad caught by the ankle on
a gas bracket, and the strange man got
me up out of bed to help unloosen dad
and get him down before he was black
in the face. Finally we got dad down
and then the two old dodgers began
to discuss a proposition to go to Monte
Carlo to break the bank.
The Dakota man agreed that Ameri-
cans had no right to be spending their
own money doing Europe, when their
genius was equal to the cask Of acquir-
ing the money of the less intelligent
foreigners. He said they could go to
Monte Carlo and by system Of gam
bling which he had used successfully
in the Black Hills they could carry
away all tbs money they could pile into
sacks. The man said he would guar
antee to break the bank RI dad would
nut his money against the Dakota
mans experience as . gambler, and
they would divide the proceeds equally.
Dad bit like a bass. He said he had
always had an element Of adventure
IN his makeup, and had always liked
20 TAX. chances, and from what he
had heard of the fabulous sums won
and lost at Monte Carlo, he could see
that if a syndicate could be formed
that would win most of the time, he
could see that there was more money
in it than in any manufacturing enter
