RULERS AND RAILROADS.
Private Trains and Cars Provided fol,
Many of the Worlds
Great Men.

Discussion of. the conditions under
which President Roosevelt travels
over the railroads of the country has
directed attention to the solutions of
the problem reached in the cases of
chief executives of other great ma
tons. These differ very radically.
Perhaps the most graceful solution
Is that reached by Mexico. which has
placed at the disposal of President
Diaz complete special train for his
personal use. The train consists of a
combination baggage car, compart-
ment sleeping Gas, dining car, and
saloon car with observation end. The
government has been lavish in fitting
out this train. which in point of COM
fort and safety probably stands un-
rivaled.
The Canadian government has Just,
had built for the use Of the governor
general magnificent private car, the
Alexandra. The car is finished
throughout with St. Jago mahogany.
The corner post ,sheathing, window
stills and signboards are solid and fin
shed in natural wood. while the in
lerior is completed in mahogany
veneers in marquetry, with tulip and
white holly. The three bedrooms are
lifted with all modern appliances, even
to electric fans and curling irons. The
Interior metal fittings are of heavy
silver plate.
Even in China the Belgian syndicate
which is to celebrate in November the
opening Of its line from Picking south
10 Hankow is building in France and,
Belgium splendid train for the spe-
.fal use of the dowager empress. If
This rather determined lady takes
fancy to it the syndicate Is doubtless
prepared to turn 1t over to her at
once
In England the conditions surround
ing King Edwards travelling are very
different. When the king travels he
pays full frst-class fare for himself
and his companions, just as any other
irst-class passenger expects to do.
The railroad company provides a train
Of special cars, spikes all facing point
switches. runs pilot engine in front
Of the kings train. and generally ex-
Ponds more than it gets from the
royal train. but in return the company
often gets big revenue from local pas
senSer receipts. In the case of the
kings recent trip to Edinburgh to re-
view the Scottish troops the North
British railway sent out 60 special
trains. loaded, in two hours and a half
1t might be added that the kings
revenues are reckoned in millions and
President Roosevelt's in thousands

The General Did Not Insist.

Inc 0eneral Old MOT Insist.
Gen. Miles tells the following story
of the strenuous times when he was
in active service in the west: One day
he received a telegram from subor-
dinate who was injured in a railroad
accident while on furlough, which
read: will not report to-day, as ex-
pected, on account of unavoidable cir
cumstances." The tone of the message
was not satisfactory to the general,
and he wired at once in reply: Re
port as ordered. or give reasons"
Within an hour the following mes
sage came over the wires from hos
pital in Sioux City: Train off-can't
ride; legs off-can't walk. Will not re-
port unless you insist. Boston Her.

ROYAL Pearls.

There is romantic story attaching
10 the great rope of pearls worn by
Princess Frederick Of Hanovei: at re-
cent functions. They are magnificent
specimens and very old. Centuries
ago princess of the house loved them
so that they were buried with her. But
IN process of time the great grief of
her relatives grew gradually fainter
and fainter until thew began to whis-
per what d shame it was that such
glorious jewels should be wasted. Then
one day the princess tomb was opened
and the pearl necklace taken from her
neck. But the pearls were spoiled:
they had lost their luster and beauty.
Their new owner wept over them and
dreamed about them and her dream
told her/that three generations OF
lovely women would have. to wear
them before their fluster returned.
Three lovely princesses did wear them.
and they are now pearls without peers.
