A. J. CASSATT,

In the death of Mr.. A. j. Cassatt,
the country has not only lost prob
ably its greatest railroad executive,
but one of its most forciblc, far seeing
business men. The recent marvellous
development of the system Of which
he was the head was due wholly to
his personal force and confidence in
the future, and his ability to inspire
the financial forces of the world with
his confidence and enthusiasm He
saw the great growth of the country
and the tremendous demand of the
future, and above all others appreci-
ated the fact that it was necessary to
act promptly if the conditions of the
near future were to be satisfactorily
met, 1t required courage as well as
brains to run counter to old-time con-
servative ideas of administration, and
to spend hundreds of millions in in
creasing the efficiency of the greatest
railroad system of the country, but
Mr.. Cassatt was generally accepted as
the man for the time and place.
In making an estimate of the man,
the Philadelphia Ledger says Mr..
Cassatt's rare ability as a practical
railroad operator has never been
questioned. 1t was upon this practi-
cal knowledge and his provision of
the vast growth of railroad business
that he formulated those great under
takings that have recently absorbed
so much of the corporation practical
and financial energies, and that
troubled many conservative minds
whose grasp was not as broad as his.
While his death can have little or no
effect upon the operation of the sys-
TEN, it leaves uncompleted so much
that was peculiarly his own concep-
ton that the test of supreme capacity
now falls upon his associates and sue
cessors to carry these undertakings to
fruition. They can have but little
more to undertake. If Cassatt leaves
a part of his work incomplete, he
leaves nothing unplanned or unpro-
vided for. The additional freight
lines, the New York terminal, the
Long Island extension, even large
provisions for new rolling stock
everything is mapped out and practi-
cally financed to bring the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to that state of COM
pleteness and perfection which Cassatt,
in his wise foresight, conceived.
Though his direction will be missed,
the work will go on, and future years
will recognize it as his achievement.
He was not only great railroad man;
he was great Pennsylvania, a

1t was October when Tim came to
school. The family had been visiting
relatives In the west, and he had re-
Joiced in the prolonged vacation. It
seemed rather hard to have to 90 back
to school, and 1t was with laggard feet
that he headed, with the rest of the
scholars, toward the little frame build
ing where the tender mind Of district
No. 4 was trained.

and shot the teacher in the back, and

guess there's going to be fun"
Tim smiled weakly. 1t was encour-

boys. That Bill had eventually thrash

perhaps feminine appeal might be
more potent than the hickory switch.

enriched by the vast work that he
crowded into his necessarily busy
life.
More picturesque things may have
been done by early railroad builders
in penetrating the Western deserts,
says the New York World, but in the
last years of his life Mr.. Cassatt initi-

MANS troubles multiply and wo-
men are more and more blamed there
for, justly or unjustly. As if it didn't
keep man busy enough brushing
stray hairs, blonde or brunette, off
his coat collar and dusting the powder
from the lapels, a recent case in court
revealed that the underlying cause OF
at least one mans woes was that his
wife recognized on his coat sleeve the
particular perfume used by "the
other woman" Now we have got to
put perfume in the catalogue with
face powder and loose hair as deadly
evidences to be guarded against.

Now we have the grand rush of
the great army of exchangers, for it
has come to be the practice 10 buy all
Christmas gifts with the right to ex-
change them if they don't suit.
Wonder some genius doesn't set up a
sort of Christmas gift exchange house,
where those of us who get things we
don't want or can't use may swap
them tor things we can make useful
or ornamental. Think of the thous-
ands and thousands of misfit gloves,
unsuitable neckties he would be able
to collect; and cigars He would
have to build warehouses.
