Peril of the Collar Button.

A few days ago the news columns
carried the story of a man who was
stricken with serious case of vertigo
while cropping under the bed for his
elusive collar button. Still later ap-
peared the story of an eastern man
who was overcome by heart failure
after a violent struggle with a re-
fractory button that refused to connect
a tight collar. In each of these in
stances the victim was a stout man of
full habit and presumably of apopletic
tendency.
The collar button has been the play
thing of the fippant writer's for a long
time Its amusing pranks, it's almost
human perverseness, its power of eff
facing itself when most wanted, have
united in a striking illustration of the
moral obhQuity of inanimate things.
But when the button forgets its harm
less mission and becomes an adjunct
to tragedy, it can no longer hope to be
regarded in an amusing light.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

King Edward Cane Connoisseur


King Edwards present of a gold
mounted malacca cane to Winston
Churchill reminds a writer in the
Dundee Advertiser that his majesty is
a great connoisseur in walking sticks,
and possesses fine collection both at
Buckingham palace and Windsor.
Among them is one especially made
for him by the late Sir George Dibbs,
who acquired unusual skill in the
construction of sticks, pipes, and dolls,
and other things while serving a per-
iod of detention in Australia for con-
tempt of court. This particular stick
is made from rare wood found in the
IN ever-Neyer" region known as
Ringijji. Perhaps, however, the most
historic stick in the royal collection
is one fashioned out of a branch of
the Boscobel oak into which Charles
II climbed to escape CromwelPs men
at the close of the battle of Worcester.
Queen. Victoria, during the later years
of her life, always made use of this
stick. and in place of the round mob,
she had small Indian idol from
Seringagatam mounted as a handle

RAILROADS AND THE SOUTH.

The great problem of securing capital
for the construction and equipment of
railroads in the south heretofore has
been the attitude of so many states in
that region toward corporations. There
was a time not long ago when many
investors could not be induced to buy
bond in a southern railroad. This has
passed away, and now, as confidence
is being restored, it is comparatively
easy to float bond issue for the de-
velopment of railroads south of the Po-
tomac. So great is the confidence felt
in the future of the south that within
the last few months it has been posi-
BILE to place in the financial centers of
the north bonds of the street railway
companies of several southern cities.
If the south restrain itself in the mat
ter of hostile legislation against cor
porationS it Is quite certain that 1t
soon will see a remarkable era of new
railroad and street railway construc-
ton, and that it will see, also, plenty
of capital available for the betterment
of its present extensive railroad sys-

NEW RAILROADS BUILT.

Fewer miles of railroad track were
laid down in the United States this
year than in any preceding year since
1897. More than three-quarters of all
new trackage this year lies west of the
Mississippi Railroad construction in
this country reached its maximum in
1902 when 5000 miles were built. Only
53 per cent of that amount has been
laid this year. 1t is unnecessary to go
into details to show why such large
decrease should occur in 1908. The rea-
sons are patent to all.
But even a severe trade depression
could not halt the keen competition
that is evident in the far west More
miles of new road We're built in Mon
tana than any other state and nearly
all of it was paid for by three big sys-
TENS which are under the domination
of two rival groups of men. COMPETE
tive railroad building in the east has
not been seen on any very important
scale, barring one exception, for long
time but on the Pacific slope the case
is Just the reverse. The Hill-Morgan
faction on the one side and the Harri-
man-RockefelIer faction on the otner,
are reaching with vigorous hand 1or
new conquests.-Philadelp Press.

with sufficient demand at &c drop, the new
quotation being 1]5c a pound.

creased tenfold. Cantaloupes sold yesterday
as high as $3.50 a crate.
