Where the Money Goes.

From Golfers.
In 1899, the number OF riders on
Pullman cars in this country was
5000. 900: and they paid $10,o00,000 as
the price. In 1908. a year of hard
times there were 1s,o00,0o riders, at
cost of 100000. A good deal of

the direct physical loss to this coun-

one OF the greatest wastes of all our

great indirect loss Of still more SER
