Chicago as a Railroad Center.

From the World Today.
 The twenty-four railway trunk lines which radiate from Chicago amount to 59 per cent of the railway mileage of the United States, or 100000 miles of road. The worlds greatest railway center communicates with more than 40,0O0000 of people of the great basin of the Mississippi, the worlds richest valley, and, beyond this natural terri tory of Chicago's great central market, with the friendly seaboard of the At lantic, the Pacific and the Gulf. No single condition of trade supremacy so appeals to the reason and imagination as the prerequisite of commercial and industrial leadership enjoyed by this metropolis, condition popularized ln this pregnant saying: All roads lead to L-icago.

ON THE OULD SOD.
TWO Good Stories That Come From
the Emerald Isle.

In his "reminiscences of an Irish
Land Agent" the author, Sam" Hus
sey, tells of one of the earliest pri-
vate carriages used in Kerry. "The
vehicle in question had just been pur-
chased by certain Miss Mullins, who
regarded it on its arrival with almost
sacred awe. A dance in the neigh
borhood seemed an appropriate oppor-
tunity for impressing the county with
her newly acquired grandeur, but the
night proving wet, she insisted on
reverting to a former mode of pro-
gression and rode pillion behind her
coachman. The result was that she
caught a violent chill, which turned
to pneumonia. When her relatives
were assembled round her deathbed,
the old lady exclaimed, between her
last gasps for breath Thank God
never took out the carriage that wet
night"
Another tale goes back to the year
1916, when Napoleon escaped from
Elba Mr. Hussey says: In Kerry
the farmers had been an extra long
time fattening up their pigs. After
the peace that followed Napoleons
defeat and exile prices all
fell and though the farmers
were reluctant they had to
yield to circumstances. One day the
dealers were buying at extremely low
rates in Tralee market, when the post
man brought the news that Napoleon
had escaped from Elba. Instantly all
the farmers broke off their bargains
and proceeded to start homeward
with their swine, shouting: 'Hurrah
for Boney that rose the pigs!'

told of the answer given by a certain
pupil in one of the public schools Of

by a professor of natural history.
The question was; What Is the
difference between biped and quad

The pupils answer was: "a bipea
has two legs, a qL.druped has four
legs; therefore, the difference be-
tween biped and a quadruped Is two
legs" -Woman's Home Companion.

From the snow five thousand summers old;

Slender and clear his crystal spars

TELLS HOW He GOT IT.
DR.. Pearsons Gives $4,000 to Board OF
Foreign Missions.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Dr. D. K. Pearsons
of this city, who has endowed so many
small colleges throughout the country
has presented the American board Of
foreign missions of the Congregational
church with $4,000 to be used for An
atolia college, MarsOyan, Turkey The
money is to remain intact forever and
only the interest is to be used for the
benefit Of the college.
IN his letter to the board DR.. Par
sons explained just how he acquired
the money which he desired to devote
to the missionary cause. He added that
If the Congregat ionalists chose to spurn
it, he would be able to find place for
it elsewhere. His letter follows:
Il inclose $4,000 for Anatolia college
Marsovan, Turkey. This money is to
form the Mrs. D. K. Pearson's memoir
fa1 endowment fund, and the principal
is to be intact forever: the interest
alone being used for the support of the
college.
This money came in this way. by
sharp bargaining and rigid economy, I
purchased 100 shares of bank stock.
During these u years this stock has
paid me good interest, and now [ can
sell the 100 shares for $4,000. I can
give you the name of the bank, and the
names of the directors, all good men,
viii this money be good to extend
Christian education in Turkey, or is it

west, that would be delighted to receive
it,
