HIS SUCCESS IN THE WEST.

ern Minnesota and the St Paul and Duluth.
 HIS SUCCESS IN THE WEST.
 The result of the aggressive-per- haps it would be better to say pro- gressive-tactics adopted by MT Mellen was that, when he left the Northern in 1903, it's special trains we're able to make 70 miles and hour over many portions of the road, it's giant engines hauled immense freights for long dis tances more economically than they could be hauled on any other road, it's stock had risen for above par and had reached sold dividend basis. It's net earnings in the last year of his ad- ministration were larger than the gross earnings had been the year before he took charge.
 GiS said in St Paul that J. J. Hill was not wholly pleased with MT Mellen | because he was not man who readily took orders. Taking orders, the Hill defnation of the term, means sur rendering all personal convictions to the will of the Northwestern dictator. MT Mellen, as practical railroad man, l was more interested in raising the road to a high standard of efficiency than in contributing to the success of the Wall street operations and con- solicitations in which MT Hill was immersed. Moreover, MT Mellen was | outSpoken in his support of President Roosevelt, and the President was un- popular with MT Hill on account of the Northern Securities litigation. In fact, to acknowledge that Presi- dent Roosevelt possessed single re- deeming trait was rank heresy in the Hill camp.
 Whether or not there is truth in these stories, MT Mellen was prepared to heed the call of the East again in 1903 when MT Morgan and his fellow directors decided that man of excep- tional ability as strategist and or ganizer was required by the New Ha- ven system. On November l, 1903, just eleven years and one month after he first entered the service of the road, MT Mellen returned to New Haven as the supreme executive of the great New England railway.
 The New Haven was an exceedingly valuable, profitable and important property, traversing the most import ant manufacturing section of the coun- try. It was suffering from the unfor- tunate affection known ras dry rot There was dead wood in it's organiza- tion. Much money had been spent on it's tracks but itsrolling stock had been allowed to deteriorate. Its cars and engines were old and insufficient to handle it's business. Some of its i'm portant stations were unsightly and inconvenient. It's freight terminals were inadequate. Worst of all, its policy toward the public had made ii unpopular.
 President Mellen brought his West ern methods east with him. He pro. ceeded to spend millions of dollars 1T ; new bridges, new engines, new cars ant new stations. The results of his i'm
 provements in this direction are only beginning to appear. He put on ad ) ditional limited trains between Nev CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR.

The Way of a Maid

A maiden loved a bashful youth

Who did not dare to tell
The love he knew 50 well
But she had wits both keen and fine
CTake note). She bought a valentine
Well trimmed with Cupid's wings
And hearts and all such things,
Then sent the missive TO herself.
How Cupid laughed, Inischievous elf
At this, her artful plan
To aid a stupid man.
This done she sat her down and wrote
Her tongue-tied swain little note:
Dear Jack-Till you confessed
You loved me, I'd not guessed
" But since you sent that valentine
Which said, Be mine sweetheart, be mine
III tell you frankly too,
That l have long loved you!'
Fear OF rival made him bold;
Loves old, old story soon he told
Through feminine conniving,
The happy end arriving

he remarked in
an irritated voice,

rible noise"
" Why, | hear no

much surprised,
Oh, listen, listen

will hear it. Dur

Garden, man celebrated in his pro-
fesslon, was experimenting the difficult
work. A group of the toard of directors
of the Madison Square Garden Com
pany, who had been holding a meet
ing that afternoon, were watching its
progress.
On the ledges of the little windows
OF the tower men were engaged in pre-
venting the goddess from hurting herself
against the wall as she rose. The
sound that had so disturbed and
infamed Mansfield was the little click
ing of the hoisting derrick. went
back and explained the situation to
him
Either that noise must cease at once
or the play must stop" he remarked
in the acid tones that he knew so well
how to use.
l realized that l should have to take
some action, and so | walked down the
block again. When | reached the crowd
| hesitated. There obviously was no
way out of the difficulty except to ask
Mr.. White if the work could not be

son for making this presumptuous re-
| hardly could muster courage to
ask it.

sion and haltingly stepped UP to the
architect, with whom l was we'll ac-
quainted.
He listened with an expression of
astonishment on his face when l told
him that Mansfield had said that he
would dismiss his audience if the noise
caused by the hosting of the goddess
did not cease.
Does he really mean it," asked
Mr.. White.
He certainly does, "
We'll, I'm sorry, but the thing
