A COW MARATHON.

Here and there fifteen or twenty fell
flows who make a living by athletic
sports start in Marathon races for
prizes that range down from 100000. It
does not require topnotchers in the
pugilistic game to bring $500 or $1,000
for fifteen round bout. Jeffries and
the negro who hammered his way to a
championship that is, Of little credit
to his race or any other are looking
for kings ransom as the price Of a
mauling match. Pretty nearly any old
skate of a trotter or PAGER hippodromed

A CHANGE R. r. THEORY.

Two of the great railway systems
have concluded to make a two and
one-half cent rate for their Missouri
lines where Judge Mcpherson decided
that the legal rate was confscatory
and opened the way for a return TO the
Scent fares which we have been told
over and over again are necessary 10
the proper and profitable operation Of
railroads. The railroad Arrangements
are split in two. some of them insist
ing on a return 10 tile old rate and
the Burlington and Rock Island have
decided that they will make the lower
rate. OF course the establishment OF
the lower rate by these roads will
force the others TO meet il.
The establishment of the 2A cent
rate will be accepted as evidence that
the roads making it can afford to car
ry passengers probably at the price
or they wouldn't make the rate after
the opportunity afforded by the Nc
Pherson decision. There seems to be
coming a change in the principle laid
down heretofore that the traffic should
be taxed all that it will bear; or per-
haps better way of putting it would
be that at least two lines have dis
covered that the public is beginning 10
find out that it need not bear exor-
bitant rates based on necessity Of
earning dividends on watered stock
Now the railroads make the 2ta
cent rate in Missouri. Had the legis-
lature fixed it perhaps the courts
might have been depended UPON 10 find
even this rate confscatory Figures Of
expense. of investment and receipts Of
fered before a court are one thing and
the figures submitted 10 the officials
who manage the railroads may be an
other. Judicial investigation is one
thing and that of an expert accoun tant
assister by the officers of the road, is
usually somewhat different. The rail-
roads which told US two or three years
ago that the 8 cent fare was TOO cheap
and passenger traffic a burden have
found ii advisable to inaugurate rate
of a half cent a mile lower. Perhaps in
time they may find that cents is an
equitable rate.
Ii is good sign of the times. It Is
not long since the public be id"
theory of railway management was SUI
preme. The young fellows in training
for future u1agnates We're brought up
on It. Sometimes it extended 10 the
depot agent and the baggage master.
1t is a sign Of a salutary change when
the roads meet the public half way. It
is not likely that this concession will
save them the half cent they are will
ing to take now instead of insisting on
the whole hog or none" The 2 cent
fare will be insisted upon by the pub
lie. 1t is convinced that a cent rate
affords a real and substantial return
on the actual investment and the rail-
roads in Missouri will have to come to
1t when the Missouri assembly learns
how to make laws that will stick-as
the law in Iowa seems to do.

THE OLD COLOR BEARER.

Thru the city's crowded highways.
Marches on the color bearer;
White his hair falls TO his should
ers,
White as Colorado's mountains,
Proud he bears aloft the standard,
Proud he bore it in the sixties:
Kenesaw and Lookout Mountain,
High above the clouds it floated
Heed, We young men, heed the les
son,
Keep untarnished all its glory:
Glory kindiing first at Concord,
Spreading west to far Malolos,
Heed ye, Heed We we'll the lesson!
Grow not up unframed for battle;
Sell We not your precious birthright
For a sordid mess of pottage.
Chant our epic, Anglo-SaNon
Firmly weld the new-come aliens:
Tell of Prescott, Hale and Reynolds,
Custer, Benchley and young Cheney,
Thus will all the wars and rumors
Fade away as fades the twilight
True TO all our fathers died for.
Firm we'll march adown the ages.

contains an aspiration to personal
happiness" The new foundation, we
are told, is work in the service Of
God, and the fulfilment of his COM
mandments and his will. This is not
the perfecting Of self. No, it is some
thing else. 1t is an aspiration to divine
purity" He proceeds:
This new foundation of life con-
sists in keeping clean the good en-
trusted to us by God, in the beginning
Of new life, in the aspiration to a
better, higher life, and in being ready
always for this better life. This as
piration begins to seize me more and
more strongly. I feel that it fills me
entirely, supplants all other desires,
and makes life as rich as it was in the
former periods.
ut may be that / have not made
myself perfectly plain. But feel it
plainly. At the time when I had lost
all interest in my personal, individual
life, but had not yet acquired a re-
ligious interest Gan aspiration to the
general good of humanity, I was hor-
rified by my position. But I found
peace the moment I had found a re.
ligious sentiment impelling me to think
of the good Of humanity. In this
thought, at the same time, found full
satisfaction of my desire for personal
happiness.
''The same thing is going on now,
altho my former passionate desire to
make mankind happier has weakened.
am overcome sometimes by a certain
terror as if I stood before an immense
abyss. But the aspiration to- and the
preparation for, a new life replace the
former conditions which they We're born
out of; and in them there is happiness
both for the individual and for all hui
manity.
Preparing for the new life, attain
at the same time my former aim, the
good of humanity, more surely than
when this was my only aim. Aspiring
to attain God, aspiring to a purity of
divine being in myself and in my new
life, I find more assuredly both hap
piness for humanity and for myself.
And this is entirely without haste
and without exhaustion, but with the
joyful consciousness of tranquil con-
science
