Washington, March 4.-E. H. Harri-
man, who is in Washington for a few
days, accompanied by his family, in
discussing the recent investigation by
the interstate commerce commission
in New York Saturday said:
There was not a single new point
brought out in the inquiry. 1t was
simply a rehash of mai that was
given wide publicity sew ears ago.
This continual reform agita ion sim
ply shows the animosity that exists to-
day against corporations that have
made success. The interstate COM
merce commission could produce far
better results if the members would
try to cooperate with the business in
terests of the country instead of an
tagonizing them.
Successful Men Assaulted.
'In view of the unfair methods OF
the administration, as carried out by
the interstate commerce commission,
there is no incentive for man to be
successful, but l am sure that in the
end the American spirit of fair play
will prevail. That is more to the pur-
pose than a square DEAL We may
have square DEAL but unfair play.
There seems to be a tendency among
all unsuccessful people to assail those
who are successful.

the recent hearing in New York are

Walking a Lost Art.

Time was when everybody walked
and thought it no disgrace. For then
walking was only a degree slower
than the quickest means of locomotion,
and by that token respectable. But
who thinks of walking now? If you go
into a shoeshop where fifty styles of
fine footgear are offered you won't
find shoe you could walk a mile in
without being crippled, and though you
cali for The best grade of stockings,
they are worn through the first time
you put them on IL you go afoot No
body who is anybody is expected to
walk any more. The trolleys and the
devil wagons have made walking intol-
erably slow, and the airships when
they come, will doubtless abolish it for
good and all And that is progress.
The voice which clamors for stockings
that win wear or shoes that are easy
is a voice out Of the past the echo of
dead traditions.-DiHe.

The First Airbrake Trial.
(Everybody's Magazine.)

tEVSry DOQy MdSdElle-)
The airbrake was ushered into actual
use in most dramatic fashion. The trial
"trip occurred in April, 1869. The train
selected was the Steubenville accom-
mediation, runnin between Pittsburg
and Steubenville, Q.
When the train was going at full
speed, suddenly as he came around a
sharp curve the engineer saw a stalled
agon in the middle of the track dead
ahead. With handbrakes oniy nothing
could have prevented a terrible smash
UP. The formal time for the trial of
the airbrake had not come, but the
brake was there, and in desperation.
not believing for a moment that the
thing could possibly prevail, the en-
gineer threw on the air. But it did
avail.
The observers in the rear were al
most oatapulted out of their seats by
the shock of the sudden stop. But
when they saw the engine fairly polk
ing it's nose into the wagon bed, so mar
row had been the margin between
safety and disaster, they forgot all
about their shock and stood in awed
silence. The airbrake had come into
its own.

"eive That Boy a chance!"

Governor Hanley of Indiana was adj
dressing d meeting in favor of restrict
ing the liquor traffic, when he spied
seated in the front row little boy with
cheeks like rosy apple and big brown
eyes, who was listening eagerly to
every word the governor said.
Give that bright-eyed little chan A
chance" exclaimed the governor, point
ing to the boy. THE saving of that boy
is more important than the election of
a president 1t is more important to
save him than it is to acquire territory.
1t is better to keep the smile on his lip
and the twinkle in his eye than it is to
storm and worry over the tariff. The
salvation OF that boys soul is more i'm
portant than the success of any polit-

How to Handle Last Seasons Clothes

1t is a mistake to keep winter and
summer garments in the same place.
A most important detail in the care of
clothing is that at the close of each sea-
son the clothes which have been in use
during its course should be looked
over and decisively dealt with, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Articles which can
be worn again should be brushed.
repaired and nut away. Articles
which are TO be pulled TO pieces should
be so treated at once and cleaned or
dyed as the case may be. If left as
they are, they will only deteriorate in
condition and occupy valuable room.
Articles which are of no value should
be sold to whom they are likely to be
useful Here it may be mentioned that
when about 10 give garments to the
poor, one can very much increase the
value Of the gift by mending the
clothes first Hard working people have
not usually too much time for repair
ing their clothes even when they know
how TO set about the business. and a
neat darn or skilful piece of mend
ing would not only make the garment
better WORTH having but might serve
as an example in thrift and good man.

THE PIANO.
How to Keep 1t in Excellent Work.
mo Order.

The piano is an instrument requiring
almost as much attention to keep in
good working order as the human
body. A great deal of care and skill
have entered into its manufacture. and
IN order to keep it in effective condition
some points suggested by a maker of
forty years experience may be worth
noting, says the New York Herald.
In the first place, a piano cannot
keep its tone in a damp place. Damp
ness rusts both strings and tuning pins
and also causes the felt on the ham
mers and hampers to swell, thus caus-
ing the mechanism TO move irregularly
or sluggishly.
To prevent ivory keys from turn
ing yellow, allow them to be exposed
to the rays of the sun occasionally.
While avoiding dampness do not, on
The other hand, put your instrument in
q place of extreme heat, as near the
radiator or stove or open fire
To keep dust from accommodating on
the sounding board, close the piano
when not in use.
Most people have learned by expert
ence that it is injurious to a watch to
leave it without winding for a long
time thus causing the oil to clot 1t
is Just as hurtful to a piano to keep it
closed for months at a time. Even
when not in use open it occasionally.
If you insist upon burdening your
piano by piling heavy loads of books,
pictures and ornaments upon it, do not
be surprised if it retaliates by some
times emitting unpleasant sounds when
played upon.
Place small piece of camphor in a
corner Of your instrument to keep the
moths from destroying the felt.
Have the piano tuned often-if new.
every three or four months the first
year and less frequently thereafter.
When necessary to move your instru-
ment see shat it is done by those whose
sole business it is to move pianos
