He Couldn't Plow.

A certain incident connected with
the great Napoleon while he was in ex-
lie in Elba is commemorated in the is
land to this hour by an Inscription af
fixed to the wall Of PEASANTS house.
A man named Giaconl was blowing
when the famous exile came along one
day and expressed an interest in his
work. Napoleon even took the plow-
share out of the mans hand and at
tempted to guide it himself. But the
oxen refused to obey him, overturned
the pillow and spoiled the furrow.
The inscription runs thus: Napoleon
the Great, passing by this place in
MDCCCXIV, took In the neighboring
field plowshare from the hands Of a
peasant and himself tried to plow, but
the oxen, rebellious to those hands
which yet had guided Europe, headlong
fed from the furrow." S."

A Mans Career.

"A man ought to look upon his career
as a great artist looks upon his mas
terpiece, as an out-picturing of his
best self, upon which he looks with
infinite pride and satisfaction which
nothing else can give. Yet many peo-
pie are so loosely connected with their
vocation that they are easily separated
from it.-Success Magazine.

A New Phase of Biology.

New FnaSe OF BIOLOGY.
A widow recently came from Albany

to take the ''poetic view" Of life. But
one Of her neighbors was inclined to
use SHORTER and more ugly word

BEEN STRENGTHENED
Two Additions Made to the
Team for Contests of To-
day and Sunday.
BIG CROWD Is EXPECTED.
FANS ARE URGED TO ATTEND
THE SUNDAY GAME so THAT
THE PLAYERS MAY RECEIVE A
REASONABLE RETURN.

Medicine Hat, with a lineup strength
ened by the addition of Tiemeyer, the
crack st. Paul third baseman, and Jack
Sudhoff, the former Cincinnati Red
twirler, and now with Toledo, will meet
the Quakers Sunday afternoon at Ath-
letic park. The best crowd Of the sea-

fast teams play. Richmond is now
represented by the strongest team the
city has boosted of since the days of
the old Henleys. To show their appre-
citation of this team the fans should
turn out in force Sunday and help swell
the gate receipts. The boys are not
drawing salaries. but receive a per-
centage of the receipts.
Medicine Hat plays here this after
noon. Both teams laid off Friday,
the Medicine Hat players spending the
day in Richmond. II the weather is
favorable at the time the game is
called this afternoon. it is expected
that there will be a good sized week
day crowd. Yingling will probably be
called upon to work for the locals this
afternoon.

BOUGHT BIG SAFES.
The Way Jay Gould an Elk
press Company to Terms.

press to Terms.
Recalling early days in the express
| business, an officer of one of the largest
| companies told this story of Jay Gould:
could and Fisk then had hold of
the Erie" he said. land the United
States Express company had all the
express business on the road. The con-
tract was about to expire, and Gould
wanted an arrangement more profita-
BILE to the Erie.
1.-The Fries doing all the work and
you're making all the money Gould
said to the express people. You ought
to do some of the work and give the
railroad a chance at the money
The express company officials de-
INJURED. Their profit. they insisted,
was no more than they We're entitled
to-, and they refused to shade the con-
tract a penny. Gould insisted on a de-
crease, but they remained obdurate
and eventually let the Erie president
understand-what he very well knew
that no other company would compete
against the United States for the Erie
business. All the companies at that
time were in an agreement to maintain
rates.
".AH right said Gould at the concTu-
sion of the interview, you've no objec-
ton, 1 guess, to my going into the ex-
press business for myself. 1t looks
better thar railroading.'
1.-The express people replied that
Gould could organize all the companies
he wanted to. They thought it was all
bluff, but things that came to their at
tention soon weakened their faith in
this idea. Gould was going around
among his associates talking up an ex-
press company scheme, officials of 9th
err roads were told that a new company
would be in the field to bid for their
business, and the papers began to talk
about the new Gould express company.
The express officials, however. saw
non of Gould's money going into the
enterprise and stood pat. Presently it
was reported that he had bought TWEEN
ty-four big express safes. Was this
talk or was it business? the express
men asked themselves. They set to
work investigating. and they discover
ed that the report was true. Gould had
actually bought Inc paid for the safes
safes cost money in those days. 20
end he was negotiating for all the 9th
err equipment required.
Now. thoroughly convinced of
Gould's sincerity. the express company
came TO terms. Gould got the best 0
tract from a railroad standpoint thai
had been known up TO that time. The
clause in the contract that the United
States Express company considered
most valuable to itself was one stipu
lating the abandonment of Gould's ex-
press plans.
1T was all a bluff on Gould's part
except buying the safes. For that mat
ter the purchase was. of course, part OF
the bluff, but Gould had actuallr
bought and paid for them uncondition
ally. Nevertheless he lost nothing on
the deal, for as soon as friendly relS.
tons were established with the express
officials he persuaded them they could
use the safes in their business and sold
them at a little better than cost

DEAL BASED ON THE GROUND
THAT THE CHICAGO & ALTON
WAS GRANTED IMMUNITY IN
OIL CASE.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The direct0s
of the Toledo, st. Louis & Western
railway at a meeting here voted to
sign a contract for the purchase of the
Chicago & Alton railroad from the
Rock Island interest including Moore
brothers and d. G.. Reid, in accord
ance with the agreement that such
should be done when the Alton receiv-
ed immunity in connection with the
Standard Oil rebating investigation.
Before the directors acted a COM
mittee submitted an exhaustive report
of the physical condition of the road,
which was declared highly satisfac-
tory.
Takes Control Next Week.
Under the terms of the sale the
Rock Island interests will receive So
100000 in 4 per cent collateral trust
bonds and S~4.120,O00 in 2 per cent
trust bonds. The old Chicago & Alton
board will probably meet next week
and resign in a body. after which the
new interest will assume formal con
troll.
III is expected tHdI Soiuc uliIiSdtioh
of the so-calied Shonts-Hawley prop
critics, namely, Toledo. st. Louis &
Western, Chicago & Alton, Iowa Cen
trail and Minneapolis e st. Louis, will
speedily follow.
1t is planned to make direct connec-
lions between the Iowa Central and
Chicago & Alton and the Toledo, st.
Louis and Western roads, thereby eff
fecting a link with Minneapolis and
st. Louis. This will give the unified
system direct lines between Detroit,
st. Louis and Kansas City, as well as
direct lines between Chicago and
Kansas City.
The system, as a whole, will trav-
erse parts of Michigan, Indiana, lii
nois, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, South
