ROMANCE OF THE PAY CAR.

- eSsI
S The good old days are gone. In
these heather times railroad men are
paid by checks. OF the pay car and
it's luxurious travels, G. F. Carter
writes entcrtainingly in the American
Magazine. Here is Mr. Carters de-
scription of the sight that used to
meet the eyes when you walked
down siding and entered the pay
car:
"A metal coin rack crammed to
the muzzle with three denominations
of yellow boys, flanked with silver,
and on the desk behind it very
large wooden tray on which were
long columns of yellow coins. Dye
ever see anything so pretty in all
your life? No wonder your eyes
stuck out until you could have used
them for hat pegs.
And all the time an exquisitely
musical 'tinkle, tinkle, clink-clink'
welled up from coin rack and count
er in response to the calls of the as
sistant paymaster. Talk about Bee
thoven's symphonies!
IF it were not for that strong
wire screen you could have touched
that fascinating tray. For the in
finitesimal fraction of a second a
wicked thought fitted through your
brain. Then you almost tainted as
your rowing eye stared down the
barrel of a monstrous revolver. 1t
was only in rack, but it was within
easy reach of the paymaster's hand
and most eloquent for all that. Half
dozen of it's fellows lay in the
handiest places, with as many Win
chesters lying on tables and settees.

"Hurriedly your vagrant wits bus
led themselves with all the Sunday
school lessons you had ever learned.
AS your sub-consciousness perceived
that the head of the roads secret
service department stood on the plat
form with his eyes intent on every
man in the car at once, while Con-
ductor Linkenpin stood on the ground
outside very much alert, with his coat
tail bullying suggestively, your bosom
swelled with pride over the watchful
care the company had exercised to
bring its honest tcilers thsir hard
earned money.

CAPITAL IN MEAT HUGE.
s1o,S25,ooo,coo Engaged In Industry,
Says Government Report.

WashingtOn.-A capital of $10,625.-
100000 is directly concerned in the
raising of meat animals and their
slaughtering and packing, according to
report on meat supply issued by the
department of agriculture.
This amount is five-siXths as large as
all capital invested In manufacturing
in 1904. Seven-eighths Of the meat and
meat products was consumed within
this country. The stock of meat ami
mails has increased since 1S40, but has
not kept pace with the increase in the
population. The report asserts that
the welfare of the raisers of meat ami
nlais and of the slaughterers and pack
ers is dependent upon finding foreign
markets for the surplus Of the produc-
tion of meat above the home consump-
tion.
There was a total of 93,502 900 meat
animals slaughtered and exported in
1900, of which the exported live ami
mails numbered 276,000.
The dressed weight or the 93, 3,bO2,OUO
meat animals constituting the meat
supply of 1900 was 16,549, ,921, 900
pounds. of which 14,116, SS6, 900 pounds
entered into domestic consumption,
lard being included with the dressed
weight of pork.
The report adds: THAT meat con-
sumption per capita has declined in
this country since 1910 is plainly indi.
Gated. There is some ground for be-
lieving that at that time meat consti'
tuted about one-half of the national
dietary in terms of total nutritive
units consumed, whereas now 1t con
stitutes about one-third."
How important meat is in the diet
Of different countries is shown in the

GOAT sTARVEs HIMSELF.
Fine Mountain Specimen In Pittsbure
Refuses to Eat.

Pittsburg.- as a gift to the
ZOO of Riverview park, Allegheny, a
fine mountain goat, brought from
British Columbia by D. c. Byers OF
Sewickley, will instead, as the result
of an incident, go to the Carnegie
museum. The incident was the death
of the goat.
Mr.. Byers and w. r. Scalfe re-
turned from a hunting trip of sew
eral weeks in Canada. The goat,
a fine specimen, weighing more than
$50 pounds, was captured in the
Stickline river, on the border line
between Alaska and British Columbia.
1t is supposed to have been chased
into the water by bear.
The death of the goat was directly
due to starvation. He refused to
eat bite while in captivity. On only
two or three occasions did the goat
drink any water, either 1t was ex
pected, however, that after his being
taken from the box in which he was
shipped to Pittsburg he would begin
eating. Instead, he SHE'D at food
more than ever.
Mr. Byers says the goat has a fine
pair of horns and is a magnificent
specimen In every way. When he
reaches the museum and is mounted
proudly on a rocky pedestal, it Is ex
pected he will attract almost as muca
attention as II he we're alive In zoo

Gov. Buchanan aside. Indeed, many

SOUTH AND WESTERN RAILWAY OUT.
LOOK.
President Carter and Others Investigate
Routes to the Sea.

An interesting account of the present
and future outlook for the South and
Western Railway Company Of which
George L. Garter is president, is given
in the current number of the Manu-.
facturers' Record. It is as follows:
President George L. Garter of the
South & Western railway, accompani.
ed by M. j. CapIes, vice. president and
general manager; Mark w. Potter, of
New York, chairman of the board, and
j. Il. Odell, alao of New York, has
been on trip to Spartanburg, Lau-
rens, Greeneville, Columbia and other
points in South Carolina, besides Char
lotte, N. c., and elsewhere, consider.
ing pl opposed routes for the extension
Of the South & Western from Bostic,
N. c., to seaport on the Atlantic
coast. Mr.. Odell is a railroad man of
experience. he was at one time gen.
eral manager Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, and has also held important
official positions with other lines.
President Garter is reported I r m
Charlotte as saying that the object Of
the trip was to get Mr.. Odell's opinion
as to the probable traffic results for the
projected extension, and he is further
more quoted thus:
"We are now considering three pos
sible routes to give us connection with
the seacoast from Bostic. One of these
is via Gaffney to Charleston; another
through Spartanburg, Augusta and Sa-
vannah, and the other is down the Wa
teree country to Charleston. We hold
large property interests at Southport,
Charleston and Savannah, but are not
considering making Southport the sea
terminal of our line.
"The line from Kant, Va, on the
north, to Bostic is 210 miles long.
Rails are now laid for 100 miles, &c
miles of which are in operation. We
expect to have the entire line in opera
ton within 12 months.
"Work on laying the rails through
the Blue Ridge tunnel at McKinney't
Gap will be completed this week. Il
is possible that we will have the line
in operation within about ei h
months. The total length OF the road
after connection is secured to the SCI
coast, will be about six hundred miles
and the cost will be between $40, 900,
900 and $50, 900. The cost fo
building the road from Kant, w., Il
Bostic was about $50, 900, 600, a distanc,
Of only s10 miles.
"We will get to Wilmington through
the Seaboard Air Line, which run
thrnugh Charlotte. This should Civ
direct connection with the Ohio rive
and Western roads. From Kant, Va.
our line will extend 35 miles to Elk
. horn, KY, to get connection with th
= Chesapeake & Ohio"
