BY the cheap operation of this form Of
restaurant it is possible to give to each
customer the maximum of the best kind
Of food for the amount charged.
James A. Whitcomb, of Philadelphia,
owner of the Baltimore Dairy lunch
business, which controls sixty four res
taurants in several cities, will make the
innovation in Minneapolis. In close
competition with others he has secured
the three store fronts Of the remodeled
Bigelow building at Fourth street and
Second avenue s. He will spend upon
the equipment Of the place between
100000 and $4,000. Many Of the fix
lures, even to the steam radiators and
the front. doors, will be brought from
other cities, in order to make the in
stitution conform to the latest ideas
in arrangement and equipment. For
this reason the place is to be doubly an
innovation.
Has Stragetic Point.
Mr.. Whitcomb considers that he has
secured stragetic point in the city for
his line of business. He expects to have
as patrons many business men and clerks
from the neighboring buildings, such as

"The percentages Of the three in the
order above given are respectively 81,
40 and ~ per cent, with an aggregate
decrease of little less than 80 per
cent in the business of 1905 as compared
with that Of 1901. t.
|'On the other hand, the decline in
other lines of river traffic will probably
not be as great in the next five years
as it has been in the past 6ve, for two
reasons. The river will always be used
to greater or less extent as freight
carrier, and traffic will not decKne be-
low certain minimum. That minimum
has probably about been reached. The
other reason is that the completion Of
the lock and dam between Minneapolis
and st. Paul, will make the former city
the head Of navigation, and a consid-
erable amount of business that now goes
from Minneapolis by rail will be di-
verted to the river. How much this
will amount to it is impossible to esti-
mate. g- #.
-" ~: Those who oppose appropriations
for the Improvement Of navigation on
inland waters will probably use the rec
ord Of declining business as an argu-
ment for stopping the immense expen-
ditures, but their position would not
be logical even should the river bust
ness continue to decline in volume at a
rapid rate. No amount Of legislation
looking to the control Of railroad
freight charges can have anything like
the effect of the possibility Of good
healthy water competition. The mere
fact that the Mississippi and other riv-
ers and water routes Of the interior
are kept in condition. for navigation is
potent in its influence on the railroads
that parallel them, even tho the actual
amount of freight carried is but infnit,
esimal as compared with that carried by
the railroads.

Submission to Authority.

The fate of young Arrowood carries
with it lesson that may we'll he pom
dered by those who are tempted to re-
bel against duly constituted authority
Arrowood was not compelled to enter
the naval service. 1t was purely vol
untary on his part, but having done
SO he should have patiently perform
ed his duty until he could nave Sc
cured an honorable discharge. No
matter how unpleasant his surround
lngs, he had taken an oath which
bound him to his task until his work
was done. We wish the President
could have seen his way clea rto have
softened the sentence of the court
martial which deprived him of his cit
lzenshlp, especially in view of the fact
that he was encouraged in his foolish
course by narrow and bigoted father,
and we sincerely hope that he may vet
be pardoned and have restored to him
the rights and privileges of a citizen
but even those who feel most keenly
the disgrace that the young man has
brought upon himself are compelled to
admit the justice of the sentence. It
is great thing for a young man to
learn to obey, and rebellion against
law, whether of the home, the church
or the State, is bound to yield it's bit
ter fruit at last. Punishment may not
be so swift and severe as in this in
stance, but waiting justice which
never sleeps, is sure to overtake the
culprit and demand it's due. Not long
ago there was rebellion in one Of our
North Carolina Colleges which brought
the rebels only humiliation and shame;
and it is ever thus. 1t is better to
wear CALLING yoke which one has
placed upon his neck than to throw it
off and defy the authority he pledged
his honor to obey. Milton Arrowood
was safer and happier surrounded by
his wild and rowdy companions. in the
line of duty. than he can ever be free
from the little restraint which his gov
eminent imposed upon him and with
out its privileges and protection.

The Climax of Cruelty.

We were exceedingly interested in
an article in the News and Observer
of last Sunday, written by Marion T..
Plyler on sherman in Wars Last
Days in North Carolina" The move
ment of the army under Sherman,
Schofield and Howard, in it's march
from Savannah through the Carolinas
is rapidly and tersely told, and the or
der of the commanding general show
ing the motive and purpose of the
March to the Sea" are given. The
object in the mind of Sherman was to
destroy everything in sight so that the
people not only could not give assist
ance to General Lee, but that on ac-
count of their helpless and suffering
condition the soldiers would be in
duced to desert and fly to the aid of
their loved ones. The march became
a reign of terror and the country was
stripped of actual necessities of sup
port. In addition to this the hordes of
the enemy could be traced on its way
through South Carolina by the fires
that consumed residences, barns viii
lagos, towns and cities. Sherman was
not so handy with fire after he crossed
into North Carolina, but the pillage
and plumber and highway robbery of
his unbridled troops went ruthleSSly
on. 1t was grim carnival Of destruc-
ton and ruin and left in it's wake a
sad wreck of what had been a glorious
and happy country. And the recollec-
ton of this needless and wanton cruel
ty, more than the blood of the BATTLE
fields, has kept alive the passion and
bitterness of that dreadful period To
Gen. William T. Sherman, more than
to any one or ten other men, is due
the feeling Of unforgiving hatred in
many Southern hearts for their North
ern foes. We recall, as we write these
lines an old mana minister of the
gospel--who plead for the Union until
the very last, and who never admitted
the justice of the wisdom of the South
ern cause until he saw the wreck and
ruin of his country by the cruel and
malignant conduct of Sherman's SOL
diers. After that he became as bit
ter and unrelenting in his attitude to-
ward the North as the most furious
secessionist of 1860. This needless and
criminal robbery and arson by Gen
eral Sherman was the monumental
blunder of the war. 1t was wholly un-
necessary as the sequel showed-the
plans of the march being broken up
by the surrender of Gen. Lee. 1t was
the most amazing folly, as no glory
could come to great army trampling
on fallen foe, and it was an act of
brutality upon which the civilized
world long ago set the seal of it's
condemnation and which will grow
more hideous as the years roll away
Only one other act of the blind passion
of the hour more deeply disgraces the
American people and that was the
hanging of an innocent woman for the
murder of Abraham Lincoln.

BY the sheltering bowers.
The Northborne breeze,
And the budding trees
All hint of one thing.
The coming of Spring;
And all Earth doth rejoice
AS she sings with sweet voice:
1.-The voice of the rill
I tune at my will;
And stir up the cry
OF the shadfrog near by;
And brighten the night
With the bruSh-fire's light;
While high in the sky
The honking geese fly.
"But Spring has her sad days.
When the Suns bright rays
Are hid by the cloud
Which Winter, full proud
Fen in defeat,
Blows to hide his retreat,
AS he flies, chill of soul,
To the frozen Pole.
And then, manifold,
scatter my gold
Wherever i will.

And days which delight

Mark Twain is cultivating an amaz-
ing memory of his boyhood doings
and adventures. His latest story is of
his earning IS. He says that at one
school he attended there was a strict
rule against marking the desks Any
boy discovered mutilating a desk must
be punished-being offered his choice
between paying IS or taking a public
whipping. The irresistible combina-
ton of shiny-topped desk and a
brand new knife in his pocket was
too much for Mark. He succumbed
to the temptation and whitfield away
until the teacher caught him. The
punishment was set for the following
day. and Marks father thinking it a
pity the lad should be publicly
whipped, gave him lecture and a So
bill. The boy thought it over care
fully. and when the time came, with
the bill in his pocket, went up and
took the whipping.
