TO REDUCE SERVICE

Northwestern planning to Take Off
Trains as Result of Fare Reduction
Reports from Milwaukee state that
the Observation-Disclosures road is
planning to eliminate some of the
trains now running between that city
and Chicago. CAT the present time
there are twenty-five trains daily be-
tween the two cities all stopping at
Kenosha, but it is stated that the
company will find it impossible to
maintain this service with the cut in
fare demanded by the State Railway
Commission and to this end plans are
being made for change of schedule.
1t is possible that the running time
OF several trains will be increased to
permit stops at points not now on the
schedule. A conference of the
managers of the Chicago and North
western and Chicago, Milwaukee and
St.Paul is now being arranged and
at this definite action will be taken.
Several trains have already beer re.
moved from the Kenosha schedule
and others are expected to follow
early in April.

July q. 1909.

Noble memories cluster about the
lake which Samuel de Champlain dis
covered July 4, 1909 Champlain was
governor of Canada and, being out on
an Indian raid, stumbled upon the beau
tifui stretch Of water which was to
play a part in the history making strug-
giles of later times. incidentally the
raid which led Governor Champlain to
the shores of the lake had bearing
upon the course of events which deter
mined the political fate of the present
border land between Canada and the
United States.
France was just beginning to colo
nize in Canada at the time Of the dis
covery of Lake Champlain, and England
was planting settlements along the At
lantic coast. Henry Hudson, with the
Half Moon, was then blowing the
ocean on the trip which, in September,
1909, led him into New York bay and
the river which bears his name. Soon
after sighting the lake Champlain,
with some Indian allies from the north,
defeated the Iroquois, or Five Nations,
and started the long series of wars be-
tween those tribes and the French,
with the result that these formidable
warriors helped the Dutch and British
against the French But for this In
dian feud the French might have gain
ed permanent Judgment south Of the
great lakes. From our present point
of view the services of Champlain were
wholly negative, but in the celebrations
of 1909 the incident of July three
centuries earlier may we'll receive the
attention OF citizens of two countries
who share the sublime natural specta-
Gle presented by the lake.

The shrinkage in stock market values
Of the stock of eight great railroads in
this country in the first three months
of this year aggregated over $450,O0O,-
600, and yet the companies involved
will have as much freight to carry as
ever. The crops will have to be moved.
Fuel and manufactures will be distrib-
uted. Their traffic will go on as before.
There are more people to ride on pas
senger trains. The tracks are all in
use. Nothing has put an embargo upon
the business Of these corporations.
Their property is just as productive
and is just as valuable for actual bust
ness as it was in January.

Discretion In Juries.

1t will be unfortunate if the efficien-
cy of the jury system is brought into
question by verdicts which are NOT
strictly in accordance with the facts
before the court. Very often accused
persons assume that their fate rests
with the jury rather than with the law
in the case, as though the twelve good
and true men might be swerved by
considerations other than regard for
the enforcement Of the law. We can
not have ideal jurors and ideal YER
diets without healthy public opinion
The jurors come from the people and
go back among the people. The in
tent of the system is that the accused
shall have the Judgment of his fellows,
any one of whom might be in the same
plight but for circumstances. 1t may
be unfair to consider this feature Of it
loyalty to the Individual instead of
loyalty to society. Said Judge Strong,
1.-THE state, the public, have an interest
in the preservation of the liberties and
the lives Of citizens and will not allow
them to be- taken away without due
process of law when forfeited, as they
may be, as a punishment for crime
Discretion is given to a judge by
the system Of minimum and maximum
penalties. Often he would make the
sentence harsher or lighter If the law
would permit. Jurors recommend a
measure Of mercy not called for by
the verdict and without doubt law
yers on both sides are guided by a
conscientious regard for society more
often than is popularity supposed.
The law of capital punishment is per-
haps correctly believed to incline jurors
to leniency In many cases. Often it
becomes a question of taking useful
life to make good the loss Of life that
society is we'll rid Of. In cases of this
kind the exercise Of discretion by the
jury meets with public approval, and
it is taken for granted THAT the princi-
pie will not be abused The spirit Of
the laws is wholesome and aims at the
reign of Justice The application of
them in the same spirit is possible
where men look upon Ia &c an instru
ment Of government al Lot as yoke
to be borne at every sacrifice

A charming hostess of one Of the
"big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them, has
the added beauty Of prematurely white
hair, says the Washington Star. That
which seems to her contemporaries an
added charm may appear to the crude
ly young a mark Of decline, at least so
1t appears In one instance Of which the
hostess herself tells with enjoyment.
The lady is connoisseur Of an

rich with the glow of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense Of her own
novelty, was handed cup Of tea. The
cup was beautifully blue and wonder

tighten the strain of her youthful guest
by pleasing diverting remark, said.

CHICAGO.

Measured by the volume Of payments
through the banks, the check to trade
shows less severity and for the month
thus far the average is under 15 per cent.
The situation as TO money is brighter, al
though an immediate return to the normal
status requires more elaboration. The
demand for currency remains acute. More
encouragement Is derived from the con-
slant additions to note circulation and
specie. Interior calls for funds are now
more easily satisfied.
Most mercantile lines have felt the adj
verse turn and there is more caution eX-
ercised in the present emergency, yet the
hiadrances do not obscure the outlook for
better results from now on until Christ
mas. There may be more retrenchment
in industrial branches, but the prevailing
tone favors a restoration OF healthier
financial sentiment as the best encourage
ment for the future.
Less new building affects the planning
mills and lumber market, and arrivals OF
raw materials are under those at this
time last year, while prices mainly are
easier, particularly hides, which are at
the lowest average recorded for some
years past.

CHAPTER vu.-(continued.)

It was a novelty to Moyra to bave to
obey law, but she submitted meekly to
the gentle-handed giant who was evident
~ determined to have his own way. Pri-
vatey she thought it was rather pleasant
go obey now and again, and she certainly
enjoyed the conversation that went on
around her, smiling in very frank and
friendly fashion each time she met Angus
grave eyes. She almost forgot the worry
that certain brown paper parcel lying
on the hall table at home had caused her.
They had coffee and sandwiches ac-
cording to -honored custom, in the
vestry, where large party assembled
of which Terry was the bright and shin
ing light. But when they returned to
the church the workers began to drop off,
and then Moyra insisted upon helping.
No one approved Terry's work upon the
choir stalls except himself, and she was
busy there, with Mr.. Robertson near
enough to break stubborn pieces of holly
and drive in necessary nails.
The church clock struck the half-hour
after two as Aileen emerged from the
porch. She shivered little and drew
her furs closer around her as she walked
quickly up the hill. She had not gone
far before she met Mrs. Charters, a stout,
phlegmatic lady, a widow with little in
terest in life beyond herself and her fat,
wheezy pug. As in duty bound, Aileen
stopped to exchange the seasonable greet
ings and to inquire after the lady's health.
Il hear your son is away again." she
said, thinking that she ought to mention
aim, although she had only seen him once
since his return and had promptly dub
bed him shallow and superficial. You

ward comment, as she went on. She had
no great love for Mrs. Charters, and
her re:ollections of Bertram were vague
fn the extreme. She had been a school
girl engrossed in classes and exams when
ne had left home but she had vague
idea that he had gone away under a
cloud. and that Moyra had been his espe-
rial friend.
Aileen had been walking more slowly,
her hands in her muff, her eyes down
cast; but instinct told her that she had
reached the avenue. Mechanically she
put out her hand to push the gate open,
when, to her intense establishment, it was
seized and held in close grasp Her
startled eyes met the gaze of a pair of
laughing ones that yet had little con-
fusion lurking in their depths.
