ONE OF LABoR's HEROES.
How Timothy ouinlan Gave Up His
Life For Others,

ROW timothy Quinlan Gave Up His
Life For Others.
While discussing a proposed law of
Congress to provide for the ~recogni-
ton of acts Of heroism, Edward A.
Moseley, secretary of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, paid a high
tribute to the bravery of employees in
the railway train service. Among rail
way employees examples of heroism
of the highest type are of almost daily
occurrence. A few lines in the news
paper and then they are forgotten.
The following extract from Mr..
Moseley's address illustrates the
point:
Who remembers the heroic deed OF
the humble switchman, Timothy Quin-
Ian, who gave up his life on Feb. 81,
1904, in saving the Lake Shore Limit
ed and its cargo of human freight
from destruction? The train was
bearing down upon an open switch at
lightning speed; an awful catastrophe
seemed inevitable; Quinlan saw the
danger, and while there was not one
chance in a thousand that he would be
able to avert the impending ~catastro-
phe without sacrificing his own life,
he hesitated not an instant. He
reached the open switch and threw it
fairly under the pilot of the onrushing
engine.
THE train, with its precious human
cargo, rushed on in safety, but what
of brave Timothy Quinlan? The
momentum of the train was so great
that it picked up his body and fairly
threw it onto an adjoining track di-
rectly in front of a moving engine, and
in an instant all that remained of
brave Timothy Quinlan was a man
gled, bleeding mass of human flesh
and bones"

"Men who have to do difficult and

said Mr.. Donovan. You can imagine,
therefore, how much I was alarmed one

by a pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for me to walk home.
1t was so bad by the time 1 reached the
house that 1 was obliged to go straight

"Did that relieve your"
"No, the pain grew more severe and

the whole nerve was affected, and the

the doctors treatment?"
"Quite the contrary. At the end Of
two months 1 wasn't a bit better, and at
times 1 feared that 1 would never be
able to leave my bed"
"How did you get out again "
"When 1 was lying in bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh, a friend
visited me and told me about the won

I noticed a slight improvement before 1

ALL DONE BY MACHINE"
Progress Of Race Determined by the
Number and Efficiency.

Progress of Race Determined by the
Number and Efficiency.
Civilization from its very inception
has been 'machine-made," says David
Graham Phillips in the Reader Maya
zine. It began when our remote an
cestor snatched the bough of q tree
and decided t%henceforth to walk erect,
using the 'bough as staff and club
that is, as a machine. Every tool OF
every kind a been a machine, n
the progress of the race has been
determined by the number and eti-
cheney of it's machines, both those de-
signed to compel peace and those de-
signed to further the arts of peace.
If you wish to measure the actual
value of any civilization-value in
producing healthy minds in healthy
bodies-you need only inquire into the
kind and number and efficiency of its
machines. Why? Because the ma
chine represents the effort of man to
adjust himself to his environment, his
environment to himself. 1t gives
power to him, whoever he may be;
that learns to use it; it leaves him
who does not avail himself of its aid,
whether through idleness or ignor-
ance OF intemperance or incapacity,
about where he would have been-cer-
tainly no worse off than he would
have been-had mankind remained in
the helpless, machineless state of
nature"

mANcHuRlA AFTER THE WAR.
Future of Province Promises to Be

Future of Province Promises to Be
Magnificent One.
Writing of the probable develop
ments in Manchuria when the present
war in the east shall have closed, a
critic says: First of all, Manchuria,
with it's vast capacity, is but sparsely
peopled. Therefore, the immigration
of Chinese into Manchuria, too long
discouraged by Pekin, will be utilized
to create a mighty barrier against
future aggression from the Amur, in
the shape of multitudes of stalwart
yellow men. Had this been done long
ago Russia, in place of deserts, empty
steppes and great, lonely rivers, would
have been met by a teeming popula-
ton. which would have made it i'm
possible for it to push southwark to
Port Arthur.
"Japan's future policy is to see that
these vast solitudes Of virgin soil are
thickly ~colonized by Chinese, with a
judicious leaven of her own people,
officials, soldiers, advisers and traders.
Under these conditions the future OF
Manchuria should be a magnificent
one.
In a few years it might easily be
come the greatest wheat-producine
country in the east, the greatest lum-
Der field, the greatest gold mining
center"
