MODIFICATION OF
A RECENT RULING
Advertising Matter Is Permit
ted on Freight on Open
Freight Cars
BUT NONE ON THE CARS.
LAST OF THE HoMEsEEkERs'
AND coLoNIsT EXCURSIONS TO
THE WEST HAS BEEN RUN
RAILROAD NEWS
BUT NONE ON THE CARS.

AS the result of the strenuous pro-
tests on the part of shippers against
the new rules of the railroads prohib-
iting the placing of advertising on
freight cars, the roads have conceded
to such an extent that shippers are
allowed to place their advertising ma
terial on freight loaded on open or
flat cars.
To several of the local shippers the
new ruling is pleasing. but as a gen
eral rule the larger box cars are used
for shipments out of Richmond and
therefore many manufacturers can
not avail themselves of this very pro-
fitable means of advertising. To the
large threshing machine companies
of the city the most recent decision is
q boon.
The general dissatisfaction in Rich
mond over the railroads ruling is
great. 1t is understood that earnest
appeals have been made to local
freight officials and the higher Off
GERS of the local roads to get them to
set aside the ruling, but up to date
they have been unsuccessful. It is
probable that manufacturers within
the confines of the Central Freight
Association will make united appeal
to the railroads. 1t is thought this
may be successful

Evangelist Thinks That They
Should Be Held to the Law
AS Well as Others.
TALKS OF ADJUSTMENTS.
THERE ARE MANY POINTS TO BE
CONSIDERED IN THE MATTER
OF ENTERTAINMENT SHOULD
BE HELPFUL.

Quite number of new faces were
seen i'll the meeting at the [. B.
church Wednesday night and more
persons expressed their appreciation OF
the sermon than at any previous meet
ing. There was one accession to the
church membership. AS prelude to
the address on "AmuSements, Their
Use and Abuse" Mr.. Shannon referred
to Charivaris college and high school
"hazings" and limitations as the rag
ged edges of barbarism." He said
that proper play is recreative and not
destructive. 1t is the partner of WORK
and is not for the purpose Of killing
time. 1t must be in the best possible
conditions. He spoke IN favor of play,
music and many harmless home hilari-
ties. Among the marks by which
wrong amusements are known, the FOL-
lowing were mentioned:
!. 1t unnecessarily Injuries the
health. 1t is not that the world owes
life and should be able to do our best
at our best.
.. If it offers low suggestion. The
organs of sight, hearing and touch are
windows to the soul. What we LOOK
upon and upon which we mediate,
moulds our life.
8. If it becomes the chief business
of life. Professional sports were all
put under the ban. Professional play
ers, both on the field and in the play
house, are tending toward moral de-
generacy.
4. If it leads into bad company. We
become like those whose spirit we i'm
bibe.
5. If it creates a distaste for home
life. AS go our homes SO goes the
country. Unless our homes come to
mean more to our children than they
seem to at present. we are sure to see
dark picture in this country.
| 6. 1t is wrong if it creates hunger
and thirst for the low and coarse in
conversation and composition.
Z. If it creates an appetite for gam
bling. Mr.. Shannon said that officers
OF the law should arrest the people of
Richmond who gamble in their homes
as we'll as those who go to other gam.
bling houses.
s. If it takes us where we would not
expect to see the very best people we
know and if we had thought they were
good, we'd lose confidence in them.
9. If it blunts or stupefies the finer
sensibilities and thus decreases the SEN
sitiveness to what is wrong. Has a
hardening or annealing effect upon the
heart.
10. If it causes one to have low
standards OF life and low ideals.
II. If it causes a distaste or dis
regard for the high and holy religion
of Jesus. Panders to sin instead of
rebuking it.
10. If it violates the law Of service
which forbids all such enjoyment Of
subordinate ends which would impair
their effectiveness as means to higher
ends.

A regiment of regulars was making
a long. dusty march across the rolling
prairie land of Montana during a re-
cent summer. 1t was hot. b!isterins

and rest. We're impatient to reach the
next town. A rancher rode past. Say,

"how far Is it to the next town." "Oh,
a matter OF two miles or so, reckon"
called back the rancher. Another long
hour dragged by, and another rancher
was encountered. How far to the
next town. the men asked him eager
ly. "Oh. a good two miles" A weary
half hour longer of marching. and then
a third rancher. Hey, how far's the

IN its primitive form the violin was
a direct development Of the Tyre and
monochord-the strings from the for
mer and the elongated box, with its
sound holes, finger board and nova bic
bridge. from the latter. The history
of the violin began with the invention
of the bow some time before the thir-
teenth century. when the wolfe, or vielie
used by the troubadours, made its ap-
pearance. This instrument underwent
many changes until the middle of the
sixteenth century, when the true violin
model appeared. The primitive violin
had little or no contour. It was not
until the thirteenth century that the
vielle was scooped out at the waist
The corner blocks were added in the
fifteenth century and are attributed
to Germany. For nearly a century
the sound holes were shifted all over
the instrument before they were cut
In their proper place and the bridge
fixed between them.-Circle Magazine

WILL OVERHAUL CARS.

Passenger cars on both the Pennsyl-
yania and the G. C. e l.. will be thor
oughly overhauled during the next
few months. The cars in addition
to receiving a thorough cleaning will
be painted in many instances. AL
though local railroaders say they are
not certain that the passenger bust
mes during the winter will be large,
they say thep have premOnition
that such will be the case. The rail-
roads are preparing for an unusually
heavy holiday travel. AS the two
cent law went into effect this year
and after the last holidays, it has not
had a test this season. Local traf
fic officials think the two-cent rate
law will attract great holiday travel.
To accommodate this increased bust
ness it will be necessary for the rail
roads to monopolize every available
car and have it in good condition be-
fore the heaviest business of the year

Great Remedy Cured Skin Disease of

Mr.. ]. Weber of 1865 Vine street.
San Jose, Cal, writes an interesting
story Of terrible skin suffering which
ended in robust health when he found
a remedy which cured MIN like magic.
Here is Mr.. Weber's own story:
In July, 1900. my face began to be
affected with a terrible skin disease.
went to a doctor, and he told me that 1
had been poisoned and he wanted to
operate on me. / refused to let him
do so and after few months my face
was an awful sight. You could see
that it was diseased to the bone. Some
people claimed that 1 had cancer. Great
boils would appear, increasing in size
and paining me terribly. l begun to
doctor again but no one could help me;
large pimples and boils would contin-
lie to come. At that time I had as
many as ten on my face. | was such a
terrible sight that my friends could not
bear to see me. l doctored for five

cured several bad cases of eczema. I
purchased a bottle and then got a sec
ond bottle. The use of five bottles
cured me. 1t has been eight months

The Madrioai.

The word madrigal sounds very
formidable to a beginner in music.
More than once have l heard the ques-
ton. What is madrigal?' Strictly
speaking, q madrigal is an elaborate
vocal composition in from three to six
parts. generally sung in chorus. The
melody should not be carried through
a single part. but should be dispersed
in phrases through the different voices
in the conversational manner peculiar
to the music of the sixteenth and sew
enteenth centuries. The true madrigal
has no accompaniment This form of
song Is considered English. but is
thought to have had its origin in the
Netherlands. The exact derivation of
the word is not known. The first
madrigals are believed to have been
morning songs, shepherds lays OF
songs in praise Of the virgin.-Circle

~CHILDREN'S GRIMES.
Arson, Theft and Train WreckinR
Common, Forgery Rare.

Arson, Theft and Train WreckinR
Common, Forgery Rare.
Children's crimes are recognized by
eriminologIsts as a large and impor-
tant branch Of criminology. The COM
monest of children's crimes are arson,
stealing and train wrecking, and the
rarest Is forgery.
Arson, in the country especially, is
frequently a crime of childhood. Coun-
try children set fire to haystacks, barns
and sheds in order to see the great
bright flames leap skyward. Children
commit arson, in a word, out of a love
Of fireworks.
Children often wreck trains. Some
times they do this from reading about
romantic train wreckers. More often
they do 1T out Of curiosity. They pile
distractions on the track to see what
will happen. They have no idea that
anything very serious will happen.
Children, Of course, steal a good deal.
The best of men and women, looking
back on their childhood, can recall
many a theft. Stealing is natural.
Children now and then murder. Their
motive Is always jealousy. Thus in
Vienna a boy of ten. jealous of his
brother and sister, who seemed to be
more petted than himself, killed both
Of them and then took his own life.-

Few people know that a grizzly bear
can give points to any other carniv-

grizzly bear weighing just four hun
dredweight has been watched carry
ing a helfer of more than two-thirds
its own weight for two miles up the
most steep and rugged mountain side,
and this without pausing one instant
for rest. The grizzly bear is the lar
gest and most powerful of all the bear
tribe, but his cousin. the cinnamon

dangerous a customer, is capable of
performing the . most extraordinary

1t Is not only the muscles of the arm
which are tested by properly organ
lied rife shooting. 1t supplies an ex-
cellent exercise for the chest and
lungs. One Of the first things the young
rifle shot has to learn Is how to take a
deep breath, to fill the lungs with air,
and then to hold the breath while the
rifle is kept absolutely steady and the
finger is gradually tightening on the
trigger. A glance at any successful

Any form of recreation which trains

to be beneficial to health, but IL that
Is not enough there Is the unequaled
training which rife shooting gives to
the eye and to the hand working with
the eye. The writer remembers hear
ing a musketry instructor boast that
he had heightened not only his own
sight, but the sight Of scores Of boys
whom he had taught how to use their
eyes In aiming at a target, by two or
three hundred yards, simply by con

be obtained In this way by placing a
rife on a sand bag raised on a tripod
and making the pupil aim as accurate
ly as he a at any distant object. The
eye can be trained, Of course. equally
well, though the sight will not neces-
sarlly be heightened, by aiming at OBJ
jects close at hand.-London Spectator.
