"MAKEs BETTER RAILROADS"
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Ma9nate as Builder-Up
o. the Country.

Mr.. Edward II. Hartman is on q
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
| railroads and to other monarehs to
put their crowns and other yaluables
In the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri-
man is going off on pleasure trip,
and SO many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage of
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in men,
tloning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
yeioped in this generation, e. II. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
tkan) Daily News. The head of
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether it is for the advan-
tage of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
MS care. Hartman is not only a
hnaneier, but he is builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has Hartman
road. He insists on good roadbed,
level track, safe track and the con-
venience and comfort of the traveller
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the coun-
try. When Hartman gets hold of
one-horse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put it in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates Of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough of the funds go
INTO real improvements to make a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such bad thing
as some people have been led to think
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for Improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road a fair
deal.
He is public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who

one of all the clubs of which he and

the fecund imagination of a busy re-

and Anisty, excellent 1ikenesses both
OF the originals and of each other.
Mr.. Maitland did not enjoy his din
ner.
Anxious and preoccupied, he tasted
the dishes mechanically; and when
they had all passed before him. took
his thoughts and cigar to a gloomy
corner of the smoking room, where he
sat for two solid hours, debating the
matter pro and con, and arriving at
no conclusion whatever, save that Hig-
gins was doomed.
AT 1915 he began to contemplate
with positive pleasure the prospect OF
discharging the butler. That, at least,
was action, something that he could
do; wherever else he thought to move
he found himself baffied by the blank
darkness of mystery, or by his fear
of publicity and ridicule
At 1920 he decided to move upon
Greenfields at once, and telephoned
OHagan, advising him to profess ig-
noranee of his employers where
abouts.
At 1922, or in the midst of his ad-
monitions to the janitor, he changed
his mind and decided to stay in New
York; and instructed the Irishman
to bring him SUIT case containing
few II .essaries; his intention being to
stay cut the night at the club, and SO
avoid the matutinal siege of his lodg-
ings by reporters and detectives.
AT 1916 a club servant handed him

and had himself driven to the East
Thirty-fourth street ferry, arriving
there just in time to miss the last
train for Greenfields.
Denied the shelter alike of his lodg-
ings, his club, and his country home,
the young man in despair caused him

hotel, where, possessed of a devil of
folly, he preserved his incognito by reg.

SHOP EARLY AND
AVOID THE RUSH
THE EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOP
PER is THE ONE WHO GETS
THE PICK OF THINGS.

Christmas day is but a little over
three weeks distant and there are sew
eral thousand presents to be purchased
in Brunswick. No one will deny this.
nor should any one deny the state
ment that this is the time TO begin
buying up these presents.
Some time ago one of the wise ones
arose to remark that a stitch in time
saves nine, and the same saying ap-
plies quite aptly in the present case.
Ii is far easier to buy two presents
now and get the kind you want than
1t VIII be to wait until a day or two
before Christmas. OF course. the
stocks will be large and there will
be big counters from which to make
the selections, hut shopping in rush
hours takes all the pleasure away
from the work and makes il a Worry
and a burden.
knowing this, why do SO many peo-
pie take it upon themselves to wait
until the eleventh hour and then rush
madly to the stores to come away
disappointed, peeved and tired?
All of the merchants of the city
wish to impress it upon the people Of
Brunswick to begin their shopping
early and finish it before the rush
days begin. all of them have their
Christmas season goods on sale and
are willing to aid the purchaser in
shaking his or her selections. The
stores are fairly teeming with the
best of things for the Christmas tree
or Christmas box
So wouldn't it be better policy TO
begin right now and finish up the
shopping tours while the going is so
good? Every one remembers how it
was last year and the year before
when the stores were packed to their
very front doors with people who
tried to elbow their way through the
, crowds and cling to parcels ard pack
ages at the same time.
1t is almost impossible for a per-
son to be as we'll suited with shopping
just before Christmas as at present,
and the manner is easy to find.

NOT a "CuFe-A All"
Separate Remedies, Each Devised for
the Treatment of Particular
AIment.

There is no "cure-alr' among the
Rexall Remedies. There are different
and separate medicines, each one de-
vised for a certain human ailment or
a class of ailments closely allied. For
instance, Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
recommended for the positive relief
of stomach irritation, Indigestion, fiat
ulency and dyspepsia. They are pre-
pared by special processes which per-
feet and enhance the great remedial
value of these well-known medicinal
agents. This remedy sells for 20 cents,
so cents, and $100 a package. Every
one suffering from stomach disorder
should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,
inasmuch as they cost nothing if they
do not satisfy.
The J. L. Andrews Drug Store is
the only place in Brunswick where
these remedies may be obtained, ard
every one in need of medicine is urged
to investigate and take advantage of
the frank and generous manner in
which they are sold.

WHO OWNS THE INLAND ROAD?

1t seems to be an open question
as to who now owns the controlling
interest in the Inland Empire Electric
railroad The published report that
j. } Hill had bought a controlling in
terest in the road is disputed The
claim is made that the Milwaukee has
bought the road and color is given
10 this report by the fact that two
weeks prior TO the announcement that
a controlling interest in the road had
passed from President Graves and as
sociates, President Earring, of the
Milwaukee, and President Graves, of
the inland, with several officers of the
two roads, met in Rosalia, where the
private cars of the two presidents
We're sidetracked for nearly a whole

1t is now reported that the Mil
Naukee has bought the Inland road
md II this proves TO be true it is GER
tain that the road will be extended
TO Pullman. If the Hill interests
have secured control of the electric
railroad it is doubted that it will be
extended to Pullman, for it would be
IN dirct competition with the North

A Large Audience for Kreisler

Judging from the large advance
sale of seats, Fritz Kreisler, the great
yiolinist who plays at the new Col
lege auditorium next Monday night,
will be greeted by one of the largest
audiences ever assem- bled in this mag
nificent hall. The brisk advance sale
is accounted for by the unusually
low price charged for seats, and the
fact that the college committee has
thoroughly advertised the event, both
through the medium of the newspap-
ers and otherwise.
No one should miss this opportun-
ity of hearing the greatest living
yiolinist. Reserved seats may be Sc
cured at the College Book Store, the
price being $1.00 each. This is less
than half the price charged in the
large cities Of the northwest for the
same attraction.
