WHOLE COUNTRY
FAST IMPROVING

Washington, November Elm the opin-
ion OF Franklin K. Lane, interstate COM
merce commissioner the railroad, in
dustrial and financial condition of the
country is improving rapidly. at is a
fact" said Mr.. Lane today, hardly be-
lievable, but nevertheless true that the
total operating revenue per mile of rail-
road for the year ending June 80, 1905
exceeds that of any other year in the
history of railroading in the United
States except the one year of 1907. The
average operating revenue per mile OF
line per month for the 10000 miles of
railroad reporting to the commission was
1894 for the fiscal year of 1908. This
was less by about SOL than for the year
1907, but 1t was more than any previous
year and was s11s per mile per month
more than in the year of the last pres
idential election. AS / predicted Il locar
car shortage even now exists. Condl-
tions rapidly are becoming normal and
prosperous"

Pumpkin Pie.

Minna Irving in New York Press.
o! the Briton loves plum pudding, and
the French delight in truffles,
And for sauerkraut and sausage does
the exiled Teuton sigh,
And dish of macaroni pleases most the
dark Italian,
While for bowls of oatmeal porridge all
the Scottish babies cry:
But to every son of freedom, whether
born in old New England
Or beyond the rugged Rockies OF the
proud Sierras high,
Or among the cane and cotton and mag
nolias down in Dixie,
There is nothing quite so tasty" as q

Panama Canal commissary.

Washington, November 6.-The COM
missary of the Isthmian canal commits
sion will be maintained at Panama and
Colon without regard to protests that
have been made from merchants in favor
of restricting the operations of the com
missary. Col. George w. Goethals, chief
engineer of the Isthmian canal, before
leaving today for the isthmus via New
York, declared that no weight would be
given to protests against the operation Of
the commissions commissary department

this policy was necessary because of the
extortionate prices charged by merchants

before they wantonly strengthen a girls

maidenhood and womanhood which is
sacrificed in an inordinate quest for a
husband and home.
With sons it is different. Many men
need to have the home principle fosterel
