cial with steam up is sharp work. Ordi- narily more time is needed for the pas senger to get in readiness than is re- quired by the railroad company The head of the operating department re- ceives the first call for the death special and with the call comes the reasons for the run. At once the general superinten- dent faces the question of time He makes a hurried calculation of distances between given terminal points and blocks out in the rough the time necessary for the run. The division superintendents are notified and the chief dispatchers set to work arranging a new schedule that is to take Into consideration every station and every sidetrack on the whole system over which the flyer is to speed. The first duty, however, is to call up the mas ter mechanic or the roundhouse foreman at the terminal from which the special is to be made up, asking for the train to be in readiness at a certain minute. All conditions are alike to the crew of such a train. Momentum is all that counts Towns, cities, bridges, sage british and cultivated fields are one in the landscape. The engineer knows every grade, every station, every culvert bridge and switch on his division, and for an average of 225 miles he and his conductor will have the duty of safely sending the special through space

PRESENT SYSTEM
 OF GOVERNMENT

Lincoln steffens, in the July Every
 bodys
 "Our government represents the men who own the resources of the country, and they make it represent interests and not men. They make 1t take the busi- ness, not the human point of view"
 That was the big idea in the mind of William Jennings Bryan.
 ''The people must earn and pay per cent. on s12,OO0, ,00O,OOO invested in rail- roads. They can. The country is rich. But the people aren't getting richer. They are getting poorer. Now, the charges were high, at the start, per cap ita but nobody cared; everybody had enough. But as the population increased, the values did not go down, per capita. We each pay about the same-per cap ita, you understand. For as the popu- lation increases, the capitalization in creases, and only the allotments of land diminish. There is competition in farm ing; the railroads are beating competi- tion.
 ''The farmers earn less and less; the railroads earn more and more. They pay always about the same-dividends.'
 He looked at me to see if l understood, then he explained further:
 "The people compete with one another. onopolies-railroads, land companies mines, public service corporations, and trusts-they don't compete Nothing can check them but the government, and the government represents them
 That was perfectly clear, but what of it7
 "The monopolies are combining. Rail- roads and banks trusts and banks and railroads All power political and com mercial, is centralizing, and it is getting more and more of the wealth of the coun- try. The workers as a mass get more, but as individuals ever less and less
 s"We have classes he continued. eve have those who control political power and natural resources, and we have the-peasant class Do you know what that means7 You have been to Flu rope? Do you know what peasants are? :? The first American farmer, he who found the land and worked it first, he made his money He was farmer now he IS a capitalist. He is moving into town. He rents his land. he, the small squire, to the peasant, who works 1t for liv- ing wage. The condition will soon be de- plorable: not in our day.

Also she can pick out the letters of the alphabet easily when they are written the wrong way around but with the greatest difficulty when they are rightly formed. As with letters so with figures.

SMILES Face Value.

Although most Of us would hesitate
to express what might be termed the
face value of the modern smile" we
certainly realize at times that 1t is a
form of currency which is depreci-
ating. In the modern smile we recog-
nize the crude, official thing which
neither Eliminates, cheers nor bridges
awful gaps of silence. 1t may SAVIOR
Of suggesting a wave of imbecility to
declare that we ought all to smile
more, but 1t is certainly true that the
charm of woman's smile was once
esteemed even above beauty.
