Lesson in Human Nature That Was
Taught by the First Sleep
ing Car.

Sound business was back of the
agant Pullman car about so years ago.
The first sleeper, the Pioneer"
caused tremendous sensation, says
G. f. Carter, in his book, when Rail-
roads were New" All agreed that
travelling in such cars would be de-
unanimous that they were CONNER
cial impossibility. Why, men would
go to bed with their muddy boots on;
they would spit on the carpets and
upholstery; they would mar the beau
tifully finished cabinet-work, and-oh,
well, it could not be done.
Railroad men and personal friends
redOubled their efforts to dissuade
Mr.. Pullman from inviting ruin To
all these objections he made one COM
prehensive answer, which he had &C.
casion to repeat many times i'll the
course of his life:
Il have always held that people are
very greatly influenced by physical
surroundings. Take the toughest
man whose lines have always brought
him into the cOarsest and poorest sur
roundings, and brin5 him into a room
elegantly carpeted and furnished, and
the effect on his bearing is pro-
nOunced and immediate.
Il am not at all afraid people will
go to bed with their boots on. | am
convinced that if | devote all my en-
ergies to providing handsome cars,

that he was right.-Youth's Compan

There is but one letter difference in
the spelling of "Taft'' and "Tact, .
but the two words will never be re-
ferred to as synonymous. President
Taft started out last week on his Is,
900 mile trip over the country ostensi-
bly, to Twin the west" but the west
was driven far from his reach by
almost his first speech. His utter
ances at Winona, Mimi, the home OF
Congressman Tawney, where he first
mentioned the new tariff law, were
unmistakable in their meaning. He
pronounced the law the best tariff act
ever adopted in the United States and
endorsed the men who framed it. He
dwelt at length upon the necessity of
concerted party action in congress,
and practically "read out of the party
the Republican members of congress
who voted against the Payne-Aldrich
bill.
The Presidents speech has occa-
stoned widespread discussion over the
country. People are beginning to
study this new tariff act as no such law
was ever studied before, and while
the tariff question has been the 'para-
mount issue" in the majority of presi-
Dental elections for nearly a half
century, it will in all likelihood prove
a very live corpse three years hence.

Diocese Defined.

When Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, bishop
of central Pennsylvania, was in Lon
don not long ago his fame as the
cowboy bishop" brought thousands
of young boys and girls to hear him
speak wherever he went. In one of
his talks to the youngsters, he held
them spellbound by telling them of
his diocese in Wyoming, which was
more thickly populated in the old days
with bears and Indians than with
Christians
When he had finished with his de-
scription he asked the English chill
dren if any one knew what a diocese
was. One of them promptly raised
his hand.
What is it, my lad?"
"A diocese, my lord, is body OF
land with a bishop on top and the
clergy underneath" was the answer.

loses an able official and the country at
large will miss the influence of good

talked of as the probable democratic
nominee for president at the next cleo

men who had risen from obscure power
ty to the high position of governor of a
great commonwealth. He was the
first governor of Minnesota who was a

Those frightened people who look
upon the socalled "Eliot" religion or
system of religious philosophy as
destructive of the real essentials of
the Christian religion are unnecessarily
alarmed. A religion that has endured
and survived the corroding lapses of
1000 years is not to be supplanted very
soon. DR.. Eliot's prophecy is of a
religion devoid of the supernatural.
It's tendency is to direct materialism
and materialism will never satisfy the
craving soul of man. Many predictions
have been made of the downfall of
the Christian religion but their utter
falsity is being demonstrated over and
over again with the increasing years.
Thomas Paine is said to have boosted
more than a century ago, that his cage
of Reason" had destroyed the Bible
and that fifty years after he pub
lished his book anyone desiring to
consult copy of the Scriptures would
have to go to a museum to find one.
The Bible still remains, and is ''the
best seller" in print, while the "Age
of Reason" is scarcely known. Vol
taire made a similar boast, and 134
years ago declared that when the
nineteenth century dawned Christianity
would have disappeared from the face
of the earth. Even Voltaire's printing
press, which he used in printing his
materialistic books, is now said to be
used in printing the Bible. The hotel
in Geneva where Gibbon, the famous
historian and powerful antagonist of
the Christian churches, wrote against
Christianity, is now said to be a Bible
repository. A similar regeneration took
place in the case of Lord Chesterfeld's
parlor, which he had converted into
an infdel club, but many years after,
the vestry of Christian church. On
the spot in Peoria where Robert Inger-
soil wrote his wonderful lectures, now
stands Y. M. C. A. building. There
is no danger of the Christian religion
failing. Elk.

voted this week on the proposition to
raise the amount of saloon license. In
nearly all of them low license will be
retained. This result was brought
about by the combined votes of people
who want the saloon for itself rather
than for the revenue derived by the
city and the people who do not want
the saloon at any price.

sioner Makes Statement
In Annual Report.
PROBLEM IMPORTANT ONE
He SAYS DAIRY PRACTICE HAS
ADVANCED BUT LITTLE OVER
METHODS USED BEFORE PURE
FOOD STATUTE.
palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Dec. 22.-It Is up to
the cities themselves to regulate he
milk business and see to II that the
1cople get coed milk, according to H.
T.. Barnard, safe food and drug COM
missioner, in his annual report. which
he has just compiled but which has
not yet been printed, Mr.. Barnard
says on this subject:
mo phase of the pure food work
must be studied more carefully and
watched more diligently than the reg
ulation of the milk supply. Dairy prac-
1ice seems as yet to have advanced
little beyond the methods in vogue
before the pure food laws were
thought of, or the sanitation OF the
food supply considered necessary.
The average dairyman, no doubt. ap-
preciates the necessity for cleanliness
in his kitchen and at his tank. but
fails utterly to put into practice at
the dairy barn and milk room any OF
the essentials of cleanliness which his
wife insists upon in the home.
Is Usually a Failure.
The attempt to arouse among dairy
men the interest in their work which
is shown by every other class of men
in producing and handling the food
supply, usually results in failure.
Nearly every city and community
counts among it's citizens some men,
a farmer or a business man. who not
only appreciates the necessity for
clean milk supply but as we'll sees the
possibilities in the operation of a
model dairy. Unfortunately the model
diaries are too few to furnish suffi-
Gent milk for the needs of the public
and for some years to come this I'M
portant article of food will be produc-
ed and dispensed with disregard for
the principles of sanitary science.
The seriousness of the problem is
