ties, leaving it to large capital and
competent management to consolidate
number of properties and work them
in a systematic way and turn out
big tonnage at the minimum of costs,
as has been done in the case of the low

reason why the results should not
prove as gratifying as they have in the

All-Steel Coaches Hereafter.

In order to settle any moOted queS-
tions regarding the kind of service all
steel Pullman cars would give, Mr..
Earling made twenty-four hour run
with a special train in which were four
new cars of this type. The result of
the trip was eminently satisfactory and
it caused the ST. Paul road to decide to
use nothing but all-steel cars in the fu-
ture. Accordingly as fast as old equip
ment wears out and new is needed, cars
which are all steel, both underframe
and superstructure, will be ordered.
The special train consisted of six cars
and the trip was so planned that the
cars would be run over all kinds and
conditions of roadbed and track. Dur
ing the twenty-four hour run the offic-
ials went west as far as McGregor,
Iowa, then over the Prairie du Chen
division of the st. Paul and home by
way of Madison, Wis.
All of the officials who were on board
were keyed" up for noises or defects
in operation, but not one of them could
say at the end of the trip that anything
had been discovered derogative to the
all-steel car.
So far as known this is the first test
of the kind ever made and it goes far
to remove the last straw standing in
the way of substitution of all-steel cars
for wooden frames or part wood and
part steel frames.

The Lure of Money.


James r. keene who won and lost
fortunes and who played with millions
of dollars as Il child would play with
a heap of sand. was once asked why,
having wealth to safety, he did not
give up the game of money grabbing
and seek peace. comfort and content
ment.
The answer vouchsafed by Keene
may be regarded as that which would
be offered by many another man if the
same question were put to him.
''Why do want more money! said
Keene. why does dog want an
ether rabbit? Your dog will chase the
millionth rabbit as though it were the
first he had ever seen. He will strive
and strain in. the pursuit of it to the
point of heartbreak One might sup
pose his sours life depended on the
capture And yet. should he overtake
it, he will cast it aside when killed
and begin quartering the ground to
start another To the last gasp OF his
breath that dog will chase his rabbit.
When you tell me why that dog wants
another rabbit I'll tell you why l
want more money."-Harry Furniss 10

ORIGIN of Seals.

The origin of seals is lost IL the
shades of antiquity. In AsSyrian and
Babylonian ruins seals still are found,
and it is certain that their use passed
from those countries to Greece and
Rome, to all European countries and
from England to America. Originally
they were set in rings. The earliest
references to them in Biblical history
is found in Genesis Xxxviii, where it
is recorded that, pending certain nego-
tiations between Judah and lamar,
the widow of his son, lamar demand
ed pledge and Judah gave her his
signet and other belongings. And
when Ahab, king of Israel, tried to
buy Naboth's vineyard and couldn't
his wife Jezebel wrote letters in
Ahab's name and sealed them with his

viii, it is written that King Ahasuerus
said to Esther and Mordecai, write

Seals doubtless were used long be.
fore the stirring events described in
the quoted chapter Of Genesis, but no
one took the trouble to write about
them From the time of jeremiah to
William the Conqueror the pen was

necessary.-Kansas City Star.
