sRIE,s NEW GovlpMsNr.

During the year now drawing to .
close the Erie Railroad has put itself
into the best OF condition for the ham
ding Of the immense quantities OF
freight that pass over the rails Of this.
one Of the most important Of all
freight lines OF the Trunk-line group
Of railroads. There have Just been
delivered to the Company the last Of
an order Of 5000 box cars. each with
q capacity Of 40 tons for the ham
ding Of merchandise freight that orig
mates In the numerous factories ON
the line Of the road. To the $500
steel hopper gondolas for carrying
coal and ore that were added to the
equipment in 1905 the Erie has added
in 1907 5000 more cars Of this type.
each with capacity Of 80 tons. This
gives to the road total Of nearly $4,000
of each Of these types Of cars added
within the past five years, thus fitting
It for the rapid handling Of freight OF
all classes. The Erie has also added
within the year n new express cars
Of the most modern type for its ex-
press freight service which has been
growing rapidly Of late.
To help haul these cars the Erie
has purchased within the year IS To-
comotives of the Consolidation type,
all Of which have been put In service
on the Western end Of the road. be-
sides the three Mallett type engines
which have been widely noted az the
largest engines ever constructed.
Sixty passenger coaches Of the
latest type have been added to the
passenger equipment for use on the
lines In the Suburban territory about
New York city and the first all steel
passenger coach manufactured for use
on steam rail lines is now being tried
out on the through service, to see how
1t will serve during the cold weather.
This experimental coach Is being sub
1ected to the most onerous tests that
It's efficiency in service as well az its
safety may be determined. It was
the Erie that first built and used the
all steel postal car, an experiment
that proved SO successful that two
more are to be added to the equip
ment early In the new year. The
Erie also put into service during the
year the first motor car OF the Ganz
type used in this country, and IL now
giving 1t thorough trial on its New
burg branch to see II 1t will work an
well as 1t is reported to have worked
In Europe, where the type of car has
been In service for several years.

invariably breaks the straw. Get an

THE STORY.

A WORLD conquest! Why not?
"A King Solomon asked himself the
question. A vision Of greatness and
power had come to him, a vision of
one scepter over all the world and that
scepter his, vision Of conquest of the
nations to the east and the west of his
kingdom, and he the triumphant con-
querof.
Benaiah, the captain of the hosts of
Israel, had been the first to suggest
the thought to him when the former
had urged an expedition against
Recon, who was then ruling at Damas-
Gus, and who was to be feared be-
cause Of the enmity which he bore
King David. Solomon well remem.
bered the stirring campaign of his IA
ther which had made of Recon an un-
relenting enemy. The latter had been
one of the chief warriors of Hada-
dezer. king Of Zobah, and had escaped
with company OF men when David
had conquered the land and had killed
Hadadezer. At that time Recon had
sworn to be revenged upon King
David, but the opportunity had not
come. and Benaiah, thinking that
Recon might plan an expedition
against the new king, Solomon, pro-
posed that the armies of Israel pro-
ceed against him.
And as an outgrowth of the sug-
gested campaign had come the broad
er vision Of a world conquest. Why
stop at the conquest over Rexon?
Why not extend the borders Of Israel
to the very ends Of the earth? Why
not signalize the beginning Of his
reign with a brilliant series of mill
tary expeditions, such as had marked
the first years rule Of the kings Of
other lands In former ages?
King David. his father. had left him
strong army, which was already
feared by all the nations about. and 1t
was but natural that he should be am
bilious to have its powers further ex-
tended. And where was there q ma
tion that had such mighty warrior a.

his deeds gone abroad, SO that It was
