who was one of the principal speak,
ers, devoted his remarks entirely to
the relations between the railroads
on the one hand and the peopel In the
state and national governments on
the other hand Mr. Finley indicated
his belief that the present trend OF
legislation endangers the prosperity
OF the railroads and the country alike
Mr.. Finley said 1t had always been
the desire of the railways to maintain
cordial relations with people along
their lines. and that the railways
must cultivate the good will and CO
operation OF the public by the adop'
tion and PRONUNCIATION of economical
ly and commercially sound principles
In the conduct of their business.
'If the railways are to secure the
large amounts of new capital requir
ed to enable them to meet the rapid
lv increasing demands for their ser
vices" he said, their credit must BE-
such as to assure investors of a reas

southern producers to market thetl
products In widely separated home
and foreign markets on such terms
that they can compete successfully
with similar products from other 10
calities. but 1t has not the means Of
moving these products to market as
promptly as is desirable. Every ship

rates are so low as to enable him Il

To Alter Plans

The officials of the Santa Fe sys-
TEN have determined to concentrate
the head office for the handling OF
the bonus work on the Coast lines In
San Bernardino, says the Sun. which
means that a considerable force of
clerks will be maintained here to
handle the records for all the shops
on the Coast lines. which covers
everything from Albuquerque to San
Diego, and north to San Francisco.
Following up this decision 1t has
been ordered that the plans for the
general office building, which Is to
be erected here in connection with
the new storehouse. shall be revised
so az to provide ample quarters for
the bonus department. which will
have an office force of several men.
The headquarters for the bonus
work have. to a certain extent. been
located at San Bernardino for ser
eral months. though the lack OF Office
room here has prevented the desired
expanding of the Office force. SO that
much OF the work has been kept at
other points until the Offices could he
provided here.
This means a very material en-
largement of the office portion of the
building to be erected here, and some
delay until the new plans can be
prepared and approved. The con-
tract for the building under the old
plans is understood to have been let
to Contractor Fellows of Topeka. bu,
that contract will be held up until
the revised plans are ready.
When the new building Is complete
1t will be the largest store house on
the Coast lines. 1t will have ample
quarters for the General Storekeeper
I. ]. Custer Of the Coast lines, whose
ONCE force in the year to come will
be doubled: the office force OF Divi
sion Storekeeper o. p. Sloat the en-
tire force of Master Mechanic I. c
Hicks, and now the Bonus depart
ment of the Coast lines. Altogether
1t must provide office room for fully
100 clerks Beside the Office room
proper. there will be fireproof vault:
OF ample proportions for records. ant
other conveniences, such as private
Offices for the several heads Of the
departments, etc.
Since the bonus work has been or
ganized here. the office force has
been compelled to occupy quarters in
a couple of box cars. which have beer
fitted up as comfortably as possible
This decision of the officials show.

Dairyinu in New Zealand.

The progress of the dairying indur- try in New Zealand continues at marvellous rate. According to the latest computation there are now 540000 dairy cows producing more than 52,000,000 pounds of butter a year. Twelve years ago there were 42 factories, now there are 229. In addition there are 500 private dairies, while cheese factories now number s9 and skimming stations 451. The up- to-date department of agriculture has recently raised the standard of but ter manufactured on private farms and a further innovation has been to appoint woman inspector to visit these farms for the purpose of giving advice and information to the wives and daughters of the dairymen.

Waking Up a Boy.

Henry Johnson, laboring man liv- ing in Fond du Lac. Wis. has a son 13 years old, named Charles Charles is SO hard to wake up mornings that the father has to wake up several of his nearest neighbors in getting the boy out of bed.
 Last month they threatened to go to court about the matter. and since then the father has taken to throwing the boy out of the window into a pond when it is time to get up Charles goes into the pond with great splash. the feel of the water arouses him, and he wades ashore and gets ready for breakfast with no harm done to anybody.
 The invention is not patented, and any father can use it. When winter comes the boy can be pitched out head first into a snowbank.

 Harvey Wilmot had never ex- changed more than the merest com- monplaces with Ruth Joslin; perhaps because she had always appeared in- different to him, and that she was usually overshadowed by her more beautiful cousin, but as he walked away, he experienced a strange feel ing in the cardiac region, and he thought how sweet she looked presid- ing at the table
 Through the open window curtains of Honora's home he saw that young lady, reading. Radiant in a gown of light blue and white lace, her golden hair soft on neck and brow, and be- side her huge blue bowl, rioting full of pink roses, she looked like an ex- quisite piece in Dresden china.
 T suppose you have just come from Mrs. Martin. How is she? I have thought of her very often today. Ruth said she intended calling there, but she has been out all afternoon, and I suppose, changed her mind"

 And she opened the door, showing, instead of the cheerless, untidy room of the morhing, cozy place, with neatly set table glowing attractively under the yellowshaded lamp.
 Mr. Martin, looking several years younger than in the morning, was seated at the head of the table,. next him, the twins, who with their clean faces, collars and cravats, looked quite angelic.
 When Dr. Wilmot descended the stairs, having left his already much improved patient with her husband, he met Ruth in the hall

There was hint of sternness iR Dr. Wilmot's voice:
 q am just from Mrs Martin, She Is very much better Miss Joslin has been there all afternoon and desired me to tell you not to expect her home till later"
 Honora shook her dead disapprov- ingly.
 That is just like Ruth. She re- fused to go with me this morning. She will never learn to do things like other people. I am glad your patient is improved, and that you gave ms the opportunity to call upon her this morning."
 For week Ruth held her self-im. posed post of duty, vastly to the Mar. tin family's comfort and Harvey Will mot's admiration.
 Then, when a strong handed, kindly Dorcas came from the city, the girl still kept up her cheering visits to the invalid.
 It was warm June evening" long after the young doctor and Ruth had ceased their professional visits," that the pair met at the Martin home. This was one of several pleasant evenings that they had spent with the family.
 As they were leaving together, Mrs Martin said laughingly:
 Harvey, I have always thought that Ruth should have been given half the honor of my restoration to health"
 Ch ho frxr To l. into verbal acceptance of the half of my success, Mrs. Martin
 Superstitious people say that there is witchery in the moon. Perhaps. once out doors, its spell kept the couple quiet, for nothing was said at first
 Then suddenly the slender fingers resting on Dr. Wilmot's coat sleeve were covered closely with his right hand and then he began to talk earn estly.
 They walked slower and slower, un- til they were inside Ruth's gate and then, screened by friendly syringa bush, they stopped altogether and their voices ceased.
 Honora, from her hammock under the ivy canopy, saw the two figures apparently. merge into one, and oyer the shoulder of Ruths white dress she could define black-clad. manly arm.
 Realizing for the first time that her well-built plans had tumbled to earth, she arose and swept majestically into the house, indignation in the very rus tie of her garments.
 But the pair under the syringa bush were so absorbed in each other that the indignation was forever lost on them.

This didn't cause Robbie to enjoy eat ing soup whit more, however.
 To-day Robbie felt less like eating it than ever before. At last he gulped it down and walked slowly from the table. He had been so very naughty that mother sent him to his room to think over what he had said.
 Like little thunder cloud he looked not at all the bright, cheerful boy he should have been.
 "Only wish I would grow, so I wouldn't need to eat any more of that nasty soup he muttered
 Just then he saw before him a pair of scissors.
 Wonder if I couldn't make mother believe have grown little,7 he said to himself.
 Without thinking how very wrong it was to deceive his mother, Robbie carefully cut little strip from the bottoms of his trusers and from his sleeves.
 That evening Hobbies father ob- served to mother:
 Do you know, I really believe Rob- bic is growing"
 Hobbies mother glanced at the clothes, which appeared too small, and
The Carlisle independent., 1907-12-05

told Robbie that it was because he ate soup that he was growing so big.
 Mother wondered and wondered that Robbie should grow so quickly, but when he was to go to party one afternoon, and she saw that his best clothes fitted him as well as ever, the secret came out
 Robbie was made to wear the spoiled suit of clothes to the party and to ap- pear among his playmates in them for one long month.
 And although he had hoped that soon he woul have to eat no more soup, he was still made to eat quite as much as ever.
