THE MATTER SETTLED
The Railroads Are Meeting the Re-
quirements of the Commission

quirements of the Commission
In consequence Of the crusade wag-
ed for the last three or four years by
some Of the leading millmen through
the Georgia. Florida Interstate SawmiH
Association, to have the railroads equip
their lumber cars (hat cars) with per-
manent stanchions, the Seaboard Air
Line is placing some 700 deep gondola
cars in the lumber service in Florida
In their argument before the state
railroad commission it was claimed by
the representatives Of the mills that it
cost them 50 per car to stanchion and
strip a fiat car. besides having to pay
freight on the stanchions and strips
The Florida railroad commission or
dered the roads some time ago to equip
their fiat cars with permanent stanch-
ions using some ingenious mechanical
device by which the stanchions could
be lowered out of the way when dis
charging a car, and easily readjusted
after the car is discharged. The G. S.
& F. Ry. equipped a number of their
fat cars with adjustable stanchions,
using chains with turn-buckle for
binders. The arrangement answered
every purpose and was highly salts
factory to all concerned. The deep
gondolas are evidently offered by the
Seaboard as compromise. They can
be used for lumber, although built for
coal. The placing Of these gondolas in
lumber service works a hardship on the
forwarding agents at the ports, as it
costs double as much to unload as an
ordinary car such as has been in COM
mon use heretofore.
The forwarding agents say they will
have to charge extra for handling lum-
Der loaded in gOndolas, to compensate
for the actual increase in cost of Ia
Dor in discharging them, but that the
current rate Will apply on the regula-
ton fat car.
As the proposed increase Of charges
on lumber loaded in gondolas will be
considerably less than SO per car (the
cost claimed by the mills for strips and
stakes) the mills could not consistently
raise objections.-Nassau County Star.

What Governs Price Of Dogs.

FROM the Baltimore News.
The price paid for a dog seems to be
governed not SO much by the value of
the animal as the sentiment of the pur-
chaser in the vast majority Of cases, and
as a rule, the sporting dog brings the
lowest figure. Doubtless this is due to
the fact that the man who wants a gun
Dog is practical person. while the seek
er after the show dog" pays for the
show" 1t Is granted right here that
many good gun dog also shows we'll,
but the highest prices go for the show
animal, pure and simple.
At recent sale of pointers and settlers
at Birmingham, England, one of the most
important sales in years, the entire lot
two score or morc-sold for sos gu.neas
The highest price paid was IS guineas
for the famous female pointer, Corona
tion four and half years., the winner
OF many championships; while among the
settlers the choice was Ightfield Bang

American purchasers would have thought
these dogs cheap at $1,000 apiece.
In contrast with these prices, the bull
terrier Woodcote Wonder sold in New
Haven for $4,000 to San Francisco pur-
chaser. Richard Croker, jr., paid $4,000
for his Champion Rodney Stone, and
Frank Gould paid as high as $4,000 for a

Getting Away From Poverty.


The struggle to get away from poverty
has been great man-developer Had every
human being been born with silver spoon
in his mouth-had there been no necessity
put upon him to work-the race would still
be in its infancy. Had everybody In this
country been born wealthy, ours would be
one OF the dark ages. The vast resources
of our land would still be undeveloped, the
gold would still be in the mines. and our
great cities would still be In the forest and
the quarry. Civilization owes more to the
perpetual struggle of man to get away
from poverty than to anything else.
1t is not poverty, itself. but the effort to
get away from it. that makes the man. We
are so constituted that we make our great
est efforts and do our best work while
struggling to attain that which the heart
longs for. 1t Is practically impossible for
most people to make their utmost exertions
without imperative necessity for 1t. 1t is
the constant necessity to improve his con-
dition that has urged man onward and de-
veloped the stamina and sterling character
OF the whole race
A youth born and bred in the midst of
luxury, who has always leaned upon others,
who has never been obliged to fight his way
up to his own loaf, and who has been cod
died from his infancy. rarely develops great
stamina or staying power. He is like the
weak sapllng in the forest compared with
the giant oak which has fought every inch
OF its way UP from the acorn by struggling
with storms and tempests. Power is the re-
suit OF force overcome. The giant is made
strong in wrestling with difficulties. 1t is
impossible for one who does not have to
struggle and to fight obstacles to develop
fiber or stamina. ITO live without trial Ia
to die but half a man."
Strength OF character Is thing which
must be wrung out OF obstacles overcome.

A Two-Foot Rat.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
E. Holmes. warehouseman at the Oriental
dock, had the distinction yesterday of kill
ing the largest rat ever seen along the local
water front. The rodent weighed nearly
seven pounds, and from the tip of his nose
to the end of his tail he measured two feet.
1t was only after a desperate fight, lasting
twenty minutes, that the immense rat was
killed. For some time scraps of paper and
wood in the toolroom of the warehouse in
Dictated that a swarm of rodents was at
work. Yesterday morning Mr.. Holmes en-
countered the big fellow. With broom
handle he attempted to put an end to the
rodents life. but the rat showed fight. Back
and forth he scampered, and when cornered
he rushed at his assailant. Once he hid be-
hind coil of rope overhead, and then he
dashed at Holmes head The latter lodged
but the rodents sharp teeth grazed his face
At last the rat was killed and measure
ments proved that he was the biggest ever
seen In port.
The animal is supposed to be a species
found in South America, and 1t is supposed
he came here in a ship. all of which carry

Esperanto.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The yearning for a universal language or
vocabulary which shall bridge the gulf of
races and nations, reverse the judgment
of Babel, and finally break down the bar
riers to commerce and universal brother
hood and peace, is strictly a modern de-
velopment. Though the good Bishop VII
kns nearly 240 years ago essayed the solu-
ton of the problem, 1t was not until the
last quarter of the nineteenth century that
the knowledge of languages was sufficiently
widespread to stimplate the inventive lin
gusts again to attack the impossible. When
the movement had once set in they seemed
to work overtime at the production of sys-
TENS which were to revolutionize the world.
Since Schleyer put forth his famous world
speech In 1879 there have been dozen or
more like attempts. but only the names of
the first-"Volapuk''-and of Esperanto"
which followed Volapuk after an interval
of decade, are remembered today. Vol
apuk is now classed in the list of abortive
and abandoned experiments, together with
"Kosmos," "Spelin," ''Myrana," 'Lingua
international" "Universala," 'Novilatin,"
"Idiom neutral and the like, some of which
were distinct attempts to correct the de-
fects of Volapuk, but which shared in Its
general impotency. Esperanto" alone has
survived, and while 1t is too early to pre-
diet any future for 1t, the attention 1t is
receiving in Europe makes 1t subject of
more than passing interest.
Without going into the broad question of
the ultimate utility of an attempt to inn
pose on the world another language as a
means of dissipating the confusion of
tongues 1t may be admitted that Esperanto
has avoided some of the pitfalls and de-
fects of the systems which 1t has replaced,
and that IL too much be not claimed for
it by its advocates 1t may attain to some
measure of usefulness as a sort of common
vocabulary along certain limited lines. 1t
has at least the virtue OF simplicity. Any
well-educated person win find that he al
ready knows large portion of the vocab-
ulary, as the words are selected for the
living languages of the world, not manu-
other Moreover, the rules of grammar
are so few and simple that few hours
study will be sufficient In most cases for
their mastery.
