Texas has been the training school of more great railroad men of she Uni ted States than any other State In the Union, says The St. Louis Globe Dem ocrat The heads of the Vanderbilt system. the Rock Island Frisco sys- tems, the Southern Railway, the Bal timore and Ohio. the Kansas City Southern, the Colorado Southern, to say nothing of MT. Harrimans per sonal counsel and general passenger agents, traffic managers and other or ficials without end, all these went to the railroad school in Texas, and grad uated from there into the larger ac- , tivities of later years.
 Chairman Yoakum.
 Benjamin Franklin Yoakum, chair man of the executive committee Of the Rock Islandy Frisco system. Is na- tive Texan. He was born in the red clay country over in Essz Texas. He has been in the railroad business since he was a boy. He started in at Pal estine in the offices of the 1nterna- tional and Great Northern under Hox- ie the ill-starred genius who projected all the Gould southwestern systems and died too soon to realize the great creative effect of his worK. From the international and Great Northern Yoakum went to Houston in the offices of the Texas and New Orleans, now a part of the Southern Pacific system Then he went into the contracting firm of Yoakum and McNamara and they had something to do with the con struction of the San Antonio and Ar kansas Pass and was afterwards one of the receivers of that line. When this great was done he took service with the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe as superintenednt with offices at Gal weston and was promoted to the vice presidency of that road. When the Santa Fe went through the receiver ship. the Frisco was purchased by a syndicate of New Workers and St. Iouteans and Yoakum was called to the executive position on that road From that time tul this Yoakum has gone steadily on up, till he today speaks for more miles of railroad than any other man in the country, except Hartman. Yoakum knows railroading from the securing of a right of way to the running of fast trains He has done it all. Drop into his office in Pine street, New York, any day and he can not only tell you what keg of spikes will cost, but he can tell you the condition of the cabbage crop on the Texas coast, or the wheat crop in the Dakotas or the melon crop at Rocky Ford, Colorado. He can tell you what the tonnage was last year from Dublin. Texas, or Red Wing. Min nesota. or Cuples Station. St. Louis.

Nothing much." Denton answered cooly. "only Aurora stocks brought me in a neat three thousand more than put into them. and yesterday I secured position as house physician in the Woodlawn sanitarium, and that's good for couple of thousand a year"
 What's that?' asked Kingston, sharply.
 You see, Kensett IS one of the most influential men connected with that in- stitution, and the little service I was fortunate enough to render the night that drunken chauffeur tried to kill him brought me the place. I've worked for 1t three months. but that clinched it, sure"

 For answer she rested her elbows upon the table, her chin in her hands, and gazed f1xedly into his eyes for an instant. Then she said earnestly:
 You are improving. father. I was afraid you might lay the blame for that defect in your constitution upon the Lord. Most people do."
 Three hours later in the parlor of the Little Church Around the Corner" the bride was given away by her father.

Cancer Among Meat Eaters.
The results Of two years exhaustive
study Of cancer in the city Of Chicago
by Dr. Cooke Adams of London have
just been made public in a report Of
the city health department. It says
that DR., Adams has proved that diet
is most important factor in the in
crease Of the disease and In the death
rate. Out Of, 5S,S35 deaths in the last
seven years among the Chicago born
from all causes there were 178 due to
cancer. In the same period there were
81 900 deaths from all causes among
foreign born inhabitants lover one
third of the total population, and 4, 463
Of these deaths were due to cancer
DR.. Adams says that his statistical in
vestigations in Europe and the United
States corroborate his earlier Austria
liam observations, showing an alarming
increase in the death rate from cancer
among foreign born inhabitants who
depend largely upon meats of inferior
character for their food.
May Carry Typhoid Long.
DR.. J. Fl. Townsend of the Connect
cut board Of health reports that the
bacillus of typhoid may be carried for
years after an attack Of the disease
without any apparent Inconvenience to
the patient and without his knowledge
Of the fact Kutscher, a German ex-
pert, is quoted as saying that about
per cent of the typhoid patients be-
come chronic carriers of typhoid
bacilli. Although such persons may
be in good health, they may infect those
with whom they come in contact. All
this is confirmed by the recent case Of
a cook who had served in several New
York families. In every family her
presence was followed by an outbreak
of typhoid. 1t was known that the
cook herself had suffered an attack
Of the same disease formerly, and an
enforced examination showed that she
still carried the bacilli .
Blue Rays In Dentistry.
A report made by Consul Bardell at
Bamberg, Germany, says that DR..
Radard Of Geneva, Switzerland, has
discovered that blue rays of light can
be used as an anaesthetic in the ex-
traction Of teeth. DR.. Radard finds
that complete narcosis can be obtained
IL the rays Of blue electric light are
brought to bear on the human eye
while all other rays, especially day
light, are kept off 1t. This Is said to
make the ordinary operations Of filling
and pulling actually painless.

Gift With Strange Conditions.
Considerable interest has been arous-
ed in educational circles, by the Pc

sports and that its faculty eliminate
all athletics. The matter has been
taken under advisement by the board
Of trustees. Miss Jeanes was formerly

State Versus Federal Receivers.
Attorney General Jackson of New
York has asked Justice Ford of the su-
preme court to appoint receivers to
wind up the affairs Of the New York
City railway and to call to account the
directors of the Metropolitan system
for failing to do their duty. Justice
Ford issued the preliminary order to
this effect, but at the same time Fed
eral Judge Lacombe Of the circuit
court, who appointed Receivers Robin
son and JOHN for the New York City
railway last week, extended their au-
thority to the Metropolitan Street rail
way on the ground that the New York
City had control of the Metropolitan
assets, the former being the lessee of
the latter. The petition Of Attorney
General Jackson charges collision in
Judge Lacombe's appointments.

Civic Plumbing and Telephone.
The government Of Alberta, Canada
has decided to follow the example OF
Manitoba by inaugurating telephone
system, which will be supplied to any
district or town at the lowest possible
d cost. The government will build and
operate the system itself. 1t is ex,
pected that other provinces will soon
take similar action.
The government Of Winnipeg has
also made an advance by securing
power to put plumbing into houses,
charging up the expenses on seven
years basis, the cost being levied on
the property thus improved. The aim
is to help people who cannot afford the
houses sanitary.
A Court of Rehabilitation.
Roland B. Molineux, the we'll known
New Yorker, who was acquitted of the
charge of murder in the first degree
after having occupied the death house
at Sing Sing, has written for Charities
and the Commons an article advocat-
ing a new kind of court, to be known
as the court Of reha bilitation. Mr.. Mol
ineuX asserts that no human being,
whatsoever his crime, should be SEN
fenced to definite term in prison. He
points out that we spend $1,0OO,OO0, 600
year in fruitless and farcical con-
test with crime, or twice as much as
we spend on our works of religion,
charity and education. He contends
that this is due solely to the fact that
we sentence criminals to definite
punishment. Such Imprisonment, he
argues, is worse than useless and is
itself a crime, for the criminal in al
most every case is released a more
dangerous menace than before his in
generation. It is admitted that the
criminal law aims to benefit society.
Mr.. Molineux declares that 1t fails in
this. He adds that it should aim to
benefit the criminal, and in this it
could succeed.
His first proposition then is this:
That the criminal court should deter
mine but one thing. the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant, and that If
guilty, whether of murder or disorderly
conduct. the one and unvarying sen
tence should be Punishment from So
ciety. He should be compelled to re-
main apart from his fellow men for
ever or until restored to citizenship by
a court of rehabilitation. He argues
that, since it requires judge and jury
to deprive man of liberty, only by
judge and jury should he be restored.
