The Tramp That Had to Take Waite

The Tramp That Had to Take Water.
A locomotive when taking water
from track tank looks as If it was go
ing through river. The water Is dash
ed into spray and flies out on either
side like the waves before a fast boat.
Trainmen tell the story of tramp who
stole ride on the front or dead" end
platform of the baggage car of fast
train. This car was coupled to the rear
end Of the engine tender. 1t was quite
a long run, without stops, and the en-
CINE took water from a track tank on
the way. When the train stopped the
tramp was discovered prone on the
platform of the baggage car, half
drowned from the water thrown back
when the engine took its drink on the
run.
Here, get off, growled the brake
man. "What are you doing there?"
"An right. boss" sputtered the
tramp. Say" he asked after mo-
ment. what was that river we went
through awhile agoT-From "Stories

SAM DAVIS.

"Tell me his name and you are Free
The General said, while from the tree
The grim rope dangled threat'ningly.
The birds ceased singing-happy birds,
That sang of home and mother words.
The sunshine kissed his cheek-dear sun,
1t loves life that's just begun.
The very breezes held their breath
To watch the fight 'twix life and death,
And O, how calm and sweet and free
Smiled back the hills of Tennessee!
Smiled back the hills as if to say:
80 save your life for vs. to-day!"
"Tell me his name and you are Free
The General said, "and l shall see
You safe within the Rebel line
I'd love to save such life as thine.''
A tear cleaned down the ranks of blue.
(The bayonets were tipped with dew;
Across the rugged cheek of war
Gods angels rolled teary star.
The boy looked up, and this they heard:
"And would you have me break my
word?"
A tear stood in the Generals eye:
"My boy, hate to see the die;
Give me the traitors name and fy!"
Young Davis smiled, as calm and free
AS He who walked on Galilee:
"Had thousand lives to live,
Had a thousand lives to give,
I'd lose them-nay, I'd gladly die
Before I'd live one life lie!'
He turned, for not soldier stirred.
"Your duty, men; I gave my word"
The hills smiled back farewell smile,
The breeze sobbed Ger his bier awhile,
The birds broke out in glad refrain,
The sunbeams kissed his cheeks again,
Then, gathering up their blazing bars,
They shook his name among the stars.
0 stars, that now his brothers are,
O sun, his sire in truth and light,
Go tell the listening worlds afar
OF him who died for truth and right.
For martyr of all martyrs he
Who died to save an enemy!

Free Trade Effects i'm japan.

Former Prime Minister Okuma in North American Review
Free trade has been very good for the country,
and industries have developed without any protec-
tive duties. Formerly the import duties averaged
6per cent and now they average s per cent; but
these have been simply for Government revenue
and without any protective intention 1t is good
to see how Japan's trade has developed under a
ree-trade system From ten millions, sterling the
annual trade returns have reached fifty millions,
and at the past rate of increase, in fifty years Japan
may hope to have trade returns equal to Germany

More Elastic Rates.
The only phase of the railway ques-
tion which will come before the congress
is that of slow freight rates. which
topic will be presented to the general
session of the congress Thursday. The
conclusion reached by the section hav-
ing. it in charge is that "tariffs should
be based on commercial principles, tax
ing into account the special conditions
which bear on the commercial value Of
the services rendered. With the reser-
walton that rates shall be charged with
out arbitrary discrimination to all
shippers alike under like conditions, the
making of the rates should, as far as
possible, have all the elasticity neces-
sary to permit the development of the
traffic and to produce the greatest re-
suits to the. public and to the railroads
themselves. -
On the question of length Of time on
duty and working regulation for en-
ployees and laborers, section four of the
congress reached the following conclu-
sion for presentation to the general SEES
sion of the congress-:
"That due to. the many. peculiarities
of railway service, it is impossible to
the elasticity necessitated by the va
rious requirements by the needs of the
public, the employees and employing
mana cement. It is held that the en-
ployers should have the greatest lati-
tude to fix, under the control of COM
petent authorities, the regulations Of

The Canadians assert that the log
booms divert the waters of the river
to such an extent that its navigabllity
is seriously impaired and at times
wholly destroyed. The Americans i'm,
pound the waters for the purpose Of
floating logs and in that way deprive
the Canadians of the quantity of water
they believe they would have in the
New Brunswick part of the stream were
the logs removed.
The Canadians fer several years. have
been trying to get the question referred
to the joint commission appointed five
or six years ago for the purpose Of con
sidering questions growing out of the
navigation of the Great Lakes, and the
"streams in the watershed of the st.
Lawrence river
That is the language Of the law, but
the Americans contend that the purpose
of the law was to have commissioners
consider merely the effect that dam at
the head of Lake Erie would have upon
the harbors of the two countries.

TAFT SAYS RATE
LAW MUST COME
Secretary Warns Railroad Men
and Urges Them to Aid, Not
Try to Hinder.

Washington, May lO.-Secretary Taft
fairly took the breath out Of the 300
railway men, members of the Interna.
tional railway congress, dining last
night as the guests of the American
ing introduced as 'sthe apostle from
the Philippines, he emphatically de.
clared that railway-rate legislation
must come; that if the railway mon of
the country were wise they would aid
and not hinder it; that the sentiment
of the country is such that failure of
proper regulation meant a campaign on
the subject that would do no good to
the railroads.
Absolute silence reigned as Secretary
Taft spoke his mind on the subject Of
rates. He was positively against gov.
eminent ownership, he said, believing

word to fix maximum rate.
President Stuyvesant Fish of the
American Railway association had in
PRODUCED Secretary Taft. In his ca
pacity as toastmaster Mr.. Fish was
on his feet the instant the secretary
at length, taking the view that the
law to prevent discrimination, double
dealing and secret rebates was ample,
and he vigorously called for the en-
forcement Of that law.
Mr.. Fish talked Of the vested rights
of the money tied up in railways. He
apologized for allowing himself to be
diverted, and as he sat down Secretary
low T zone sat next to bana m een min

and the secretary utilized it in making
himself even more positive as to his
position in favor Of legislation which
would create tribunal with authority
to name maximum rate.
What Plan Means.
'The law now is, - continued the sec
rotary, Gas decided by the supreme
court Of the United States, that first
a commission and then the courts may
decide whether a particular rate is rea

that, in the very mental process in de

or unreasonable, one has got to fix what
is a maximum rate. AS / understand

Washington, May lO.-A novel, not

lists on the St. Johns river, the stream

adam government is threatening to
send men into Maine to cut out log

threat is one of Invasion if there ever
was one. ~
The threat was regarded SO seriously
that Secretary Taft asked Hugh

bassy, to call on him today. Taft told
him about the obstreperousness of the
Canadian government, and asked him to
get Lord Lansdowne to advise the
Canadians to do nothing until after Sen
ator Hale has had an opportunity to get
his bill passed submitting the question
in dispute as to navigation Of that
river to joint commission for settle

What has given some cred dence

perience, who has travelled over
much Of the county within the

subject to an Inter Ocean re-
preventative he stated that the
large amount Of moisture during
the early season had developed a
large number Of leaves on the
lower wheat stalks, and as the
stem increased in heighth these
leaves died. This is true at all
times, but the large number Of
leaves gave the app pearance to
the causual observer that they
were dead from rust or some
other disease. Mr.. Lewis gave
a clear idea Of the best method
of determining the presence Of
rust. The stalk to be examined
