LOOKING FOR
BETTER TIMES
Railway Officers Express Belief That
Present Depression Will Be Short
Lived and That Prosperous Business
VIII BE Resumed Soon.

Nearly every railway Ofdcer who has
been in attendance at the Interstate
Commerce Commission meeting with
reference to the new nine.hour law
enforcement has expressed the firm
belief that the present business de-
preston will be short lived, and also
that there is no intention On the part
Of the railways to cut the wages OF
railway workingmen, says he Little
Rock Democrat. One who is familiar
with the testimony given by all the
railway men before the commission
meeting said concerning the present
business depression.
Not single official OF single rail-
way line who appeared before the
commission expressed the belief that
the present industrial depression
would be lasting. In the testimony Of
nearly every witness before the com
mission there was a note OF conf
dence. because nearly every one Of
them, practically believed that the
Stringency to the money market from
which the country has suffered is not
due. to fundamental causes. They
point out that the crop last year was
good; that prices were excellent; that
industrial enterprises throughout the
country We're fourishing. 1t was
merely the inability to command ready
cash and the boarding Of money by
panic stricken individuals which pro-
duced SO suddenly the remarkable de-
preston from which all hay esuffer-
cd They practically uniformly eX-
press confidence that the return of
prosperity will be almost as sudden as
was the coming OF adversely,

Between Two lcebergs.

A captain of an Atlantic liner told
me that once when he was crossing
the banks of Newfoundland he slowed
down for fog and presently suspected
that he was not far from ice. He was
blowing his whistle at regular inter.
walls. The nearest land was hundreds
Of miles away. He could not see as far
as the bow of his own ship. He stared
as all captains do under such circum.
stances. Hearing what he supposed
to be the whistle of another ship close
aboard on the port side. he reversed
his engines and put the helm over to
avoid her. Hardly had he done this
when still another whistle sounded
over the starboard bow. He thought
then that he was between two other
steamers. His own was at a stand
still. but as often as he blew his
whistle theirs responded without going
ahead or astern. Were they also hove
to? 1t was unaccountable till the fog
lifted, when instead Of ships on both
sides of him he found two towering
icebergs, blue and white and glisten-
Ing, the TANKS of which had but echoed
the sound of his own whistle.-William

ENoLANo's NATIONAL Bird.

The English Dorking originated in
Rome. Whether of the holy chickens
of the Imperial City and kept with the
sacred bull in the sacred groves with
the other gods and goddesses we know
not. This valiant bird inherits the
fighting spirit of Caesars soldiers. His
spurs are sharp as spears, and his
broad, proud breast, like a Roman
shield, is always turned to the foe.
Why the golden eagle was borne aloft
before the Roman legions instead of
the Dorking we do not understand, for
wherever those soldiers marched there
went the Dorking. The Romans must
have considered this fowl indispen-
sable, for when they invaded Britain
this kingly bird went with them to
crow over their victories.
The Silver Gray Dorking has become
the great national bird of England.

the bridge"
A curious shock, sharper and alto
gether more penetrating than the
Thor's hammer blow of a huge wave,
sounded loud and menacing in their
ears. The ship trembled violently and
then became strangely still. The least
experienced traveller on board knew
that the engines had stopped. They
felt long lurch to port when the next
sea climbed over the bows. At once
the Kansas righted herself and rode
on even keel, while the stress and tur-
MOL of her fight against wind and
wave passed away into a sustained ST.
1ence.
The half caste stewards glanced at
each other and drew together in whis-
pering groups, but the chief steward,
an Englishman, who had turned to
leave the salon, changed his mind and
uttered low growl of command which
sent his subordinates' attention If not
their thoughts back to their work. In
the strained hush the running along
the deck of men in heavy sea boots
was painfully audible. Water could
be heard pouring through the SOUP
pers. Steam was rushing forth some
where with vehement buster. These
sounds only accumulated the extraor-
binary truce in the fight Of ship
against sea. The Kansas was strick-
en- dumb IL not dead.
Something has gone wrong" said
Elsie in low voice.
DR.. Christobal nodded carelessly.
"a burst steam pipe probably. Such
things will happen at times. We are
hove to for the moment"
He traded on the ignorance of his
hearers. The chief steward heard his
explanation and looked at him fixedly.
Christobal caught the glance.
81 suppose we shall lose an hour or
SO now?" he asked.
"Yes, sir 1t will be all right by the
time you have finished dinner"
The meal drew to its close without
much further talk An American en-
gineer was the first passenger to rise,
but the chief steward whispered in his
ear He returned to the table.
"Say," he said calmly, 1--WE can't
quit yet. The companion hatch is
closed. We must remain here bit"
"Do you mean that we are battened
DOWN. demanded Isobel shrilly, and
her face lost some of it's beauty in an
ashen pallor.
Something of the sort, Miss Barring.
Anyway, we can't go on deck"
"But-I insist on being told what is
the matter"
The American knew little of ships,
but he knew a great deal about mines,
and in a mine If an accident happens
the man in charge cannot desert his
post to give information to those who
are anxious for it. So he replied la
conically:
"Guess the captain will tell us all
about it after awhile, Miss Barring"

abundance in Siberia principally. but
they are not very highly esteemed,

and indeed hold the record, being some

Poor, but Honest.

A story is related of a young man
who was recently married to the
daughter of wealthy merchant. The

was honest. He was so honest that
he would not even prevaricate in the
marriage ceremony. He was repeat
ing what the minister said.

Probably the most remarkable drum

to play on fifteen different toned drums

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

II you have no love for the feathered
tribe, but simply for the money that's
in it, 1t will be failure.
My friend, it certainly is not our
funeral to mind your business, but we
do object to buying dressed chickens
stuffed with feed.
When man goes into the squad
business and finds he really can't make
1t pay, he's fool to hang on and hang
himself because he lives in I-Told- U-So.
Which variety is best for you to
keep? The one you like best, of course.
You will exercise more care for chick
ems you fancy, and also make more
money accordingly.

Canada and the United States are
shipping much fine poultry from New
York to Cape Colony, South Africa
African ostriches are being imported
to California and Arizona. Thus "a
fair exchange is no robbery"
BY marking the eggs and setting the
hen in nest with glass bottom we
discover that she turns the eggs six
times day. Instead of turning in
cubator eggs twice we now turn them
six times a day and get Is per cent
more chicks.
We fear our friends who bought and
mated geese after April 1 will have
few goslings to pick. They naturally

Lawyer 1. B. Miller of Youngstown,

tobacco. If true, We are ready to pay
a big price for her, for she can solve

our hens to hit a louise as slick as the
corner loafers can spit on lady's
dress, there'll not be a louise left.

The American boy is a great institu-'

Better have him building chicken coops
than air castles. Rather have him

Better go broke buying him poultry

A general movement is on foot to get
a law passed to compel the storage
companies to date eggs. as is now done
with canned goods. 1t will puzzle the
legislators to frame a bill to fit. The
date of laying cannot be marked on the
eggs, for some storage stock seems to
have been laid before the Christian
era. If the shipper is honest enough
to date his case, the storage company
may quickly erase. While the puzzle
is being solved by our egotistical leg
islatorsiit might be policy to stamp on
the grocer who sells storage for fresh
goods.
