Mrs. Murray had advertised for a skilled
gardener 20 work by the day in her yard,
and, somewhat to her embarrassment, she
was obliged TO choose between two APP
plcants who appeared at the same mo-
ment. As she stood on her doorstep, ques.
tioning first one aud then the other, re-
lates Youths Companion, she became
aware that her mother-iulaw, seated ON
the porch a short distance from the men
and directly behind them, was hanllcally
gesticulatlug.
The old lady, satisfied at last that che
had attracted her daughterinlaw's atten'
ton, pointed unmistlkably toward the less
| preposscssIng Of the two men, and the
younger woman, supposng that her rcla
tive had some personal knowledge Of the
applicant, promptly engaged him,
Has that man ever worked Tor you

two women were alone,

Then why in the world did YOU choose

Railroads and PROGRESS.


In his testimony before the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce at
Washington ON May 4th, Prof. Hugo r.
Meyer, of Chicago University, an ex-
pert on railroad management, made
this statement
LET us look at what might have
happened if we had needed the pro-
tests of the farmers of New York and
Ohio and Pennsylvania lin the seven
ties when grain from the west began
pouring to the Atlantic seaboard) and
acted upon the doctrine which the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
enunclated time and again, that no
mar may be deprived of the advan-
tages accruing to him by virtue of his
geographical position. We could not
have west of the Mississippi a popula-
ton Of millions of people who are
prosperous and are great consumers.
We never should have seen the years
when we built 5000 and 1900 miles
Of railway, for there would have been
40 farmers west OF the Mississippi
River who could have used the land
that would have been opened up by the
building of those railways. And II we
had not seen the years when W. could
build 10000 and 1900 miles of rail-
way a year, we should not have to-
