Saw It Come Out Of a Cow.

A little city boy and his sister Dor
othy were taken to the country for
the first time.
The two children were happy as
the day was long. In the late after
noon they watched the cows come
home, heard with delight the tink-
ling cow-bells, and the little boy
even went in the barns to see the
milking done
At supper, just as Dorothy was
lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the
boy cried out
"Oh. Dorothy. don't! You mustn't
drink that milk. It's not fit to drink

AN AGREEMENT
For Uniform Bill of Lad
ing Finally Reached.
Has Approval Of Railroads as
Well as the Shippers.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Sanctions Measure.

Chicago, June PA binding agree
ment between shippers and the rail-
roads, the dream of American COM
mercc, in the form of Il uniform bill
of lading practically has been agreed
upon. Representatives of commercial
interests and all the trunk lines of the
country have settled upon the form
of the new bill and the Interstate
Commerce Commission has concurred.
1t will be submitted for the ratification
of the railroad and commercial inter-
ests of the country early in July.
The effect of the ratification will be
t. make the new bill a part of the in
terstate commerce law. The shippers
then will have the thing for which
they have clamOred for the last decade
a railroad receipt binding on the
carriers. The negotiations have been
this far carried on by railroad repre-
sentativcs and members of the board
of directors of the Illinois Manufac-
turerS' Association and the American
Shippers Association.
The new bill will hold the initial
road and its connections liable for a.
shipment from the time it is delivered
to the company until ii is delivered to
The cCnsignee at its destination.
The Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton and the American Shippers Asso-
ciation have pressed the matter before

Tor three years. The conditions were
agreed upon at n conference MAY "a

placed before the Interstate Commerce

The Alumni Dinner.

After the exercises in the church the
procession was formed again and

| held. 1t was nearly 2 O'Clock and by
| this time everybody was so hungry
| that there was less cheering and sing

The hall was filled to it's capacity, in
fact To ovcrtiowing, and fully so failed
to got seats at the seven long and
heavily laden tables stretching the
length of the hall. After the cold meats.
salads. ice cream, cake. fruit and cof-
fee had been disposed of to the accom-
paniment Of 4 bedlam of class yells,
Prof Chapman arose to call the gath
ering to order. He was given demon
stration such as has seldom been seen
i'm the history of BOwdoin dinners. OF
course everybody regretted the alb

~ do all the sons of Bowdoin love
Prof Chapman, who has been on the
faculty for 40 years, that they shouted
themselves dizzy in his honor. The
greeting was also n special tribute to
the mastery address Prof Chapman
had delivered at the Longfellow eXer-
cises, Wednesday afternoon. a polished
gem which all hope will be published
in pamphlet form.

After the cheers in honor of the pre-
siding officers had finally died away.
the old commencement hymn was then
sung:
Let children hear the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old:
Which in our younger years we saw
And which our fathers told.
He bids us make his glories known;
His works of power and grace:
And We'll convey his wonders down
Through every rising race.
Our lirs shall tel! them to our sons,
And they again to theirs:
That generations vet unborn
May ttaeh them to tneir heirs
Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands:
That they NAV neer forget bis works,
But practice his commands.
Prof. Chapman then spoke feelingly
in respect to the absence of President
Hyde and dwelt upon the record of
the year and the condition of the col
| lsge. He said the money gifts of the
past year had been $4,000 and In adj
diti0n to this the daughters of Long
fellow have just given the college $40,

COMING BACK.

IT'S said that all things come to
those who wait. and this scems to be
truo for Florence. The city has
waited long time for renewed pros
psrity but II In now coming by leaps
and bounds. In Saturdays Tribune
wore two very cheering items Of news
tho .re-opening Of the Union mill
aud an Increased price to be paid for
raw oil The mill is to be started
up within the next few days--the
sampler Thursday, and the better
price on oil Just IN soon as new oil
In brought In.
This means that much money IL To
bc spent In Florence for labor In the
mills and oil wells and for supplies.
This money will find its way into
tho usual channels Of trade and start
tho entire pulse Of tho city to vibrat-
ing The Union mill employs about
100 mon when working In full blast.
and, according to best information
obtainsble there Is no question but
that It will work at full capacity
after II is started that way. But for
tho present only tho sampling works
will be In operation. this being neces-
ssry In order to get tho ore ready
for the other mill departments.
These things will put Florence
back to tho point whore she belongs
and within the next ninety days,
after couple Of pays are drawn by
the workmen, the conditions will not
be 30 stringent N they have been in

they begin to call In their loans,
which are not quite NO gilt edged AZ
before. They arc also more careful
about accommodating their borrowing
customers, 70 that they may be a
little better prepared in case anything
adverse should happen.
These precautions spread. Dis
trust, fear, anxiety, and a feeling Of
uncertainty. like the rising tide OF
gossip, sweep like wildfirs all over
the country. Soon everybody IL
talking hard timss; all are Influenced
by the contskion Of the perpetual fear
OF suggestion. Cautious men think,
perhaps, they have besn spreading
out 4 little too much, and they begin
TO retrenoh, to discharge help, and
to cut down salaries and expenses gen
orally. Mercantile houses. manufsc.
tories, railroads and other concerns
stop extensions and improvements,
and take In sail until all danger Ia
past.
As u consequence public confidence
is shaken, and there Is general
strangulntion Of business all over the
country. Important contracts, the
erection OF large buildings, and ex-
tcnsion negotiations are called of.
There IL u mark cd decline in business
transactions Of all kinds. Nobody
has confidence to branch out; every
body is hedging.
Such condition Of things began
with the recent investi CATION and
prosecution of certain great combina-
tions of capital. After the inves.
tiRation these great concerns began to
retrench, and when the whole coun.
try caught the spirit of caution,
stocks began to. drop, business houses
began to fail, and the first we knew
there was sort Of mental business
panic, q condition wholly uncalled
for, unwarranted. Crop prospects
were most promising and tho country
at large was In superb condition.
The daily tribune., 1907-11-11

The panic was mainly mental, caused
by fear and anxiety resulting from
lack Of confidence, general distrust Of
the future.
There ia no real condition In this
country today to produce hard times.
no warrant for them but the people .
talk. When people are scared money
is always tight. It Yves right in the
midst OF the most prosperous times
we have ever had. that men began to
whisper, Hard times arc coming :"
business has been too good to last"
Such boom OF prosperity cannot
possibly hold ont.
II the entire press OF the country
had refused to pass along the pessiniis-
tic note, and had assured the people
that there WAS no cause for alarm,
that tho panic WAS mainly Il mental
one, the public confidence would not
have been shaken to any great extent.
Az matter Of fact the actual con
dition Of our great nation was never
better than it IL today. There are no
real hard times among us, and there
are not going to be any. Just as
quickly as public confidence is restor-
ed everything will go on as before.
How little we realize how much
the general mental attitude of busi-
ness men had to do with good times
and hard times Prosperity is in the
air when everybody has confidence.
When there IL no doubt or uncertain
ty in the public faith, times are good.
But lot the least doubt creep into the
minds Of few prominent business
mon; let few noted fnanciers proph-
esy that hard times are upon us; lot
but the mists of doubt cloud the pub
