The Legend Of the OIIve.Tree.

There was once an aged hermit In
the Egyptian desert who thought 1t
would be well with him II he had an
olive-tree near his cave. So he planted
q little tree, and, thinking 1t might
want water, he prayed to God for rain,
so rain came and watered his olive-tree.
Then he thought that some warm sun
to swell its buds would be advisable, so
he prayed, and the sun shone out. Now
the nursling looked feeble, and the old
man deemed 1t would be we'll for the
tree If frost were to come and brace it.
He prayed for the frost, and the hoar-
frost settled that night on bar and
beam. Next he believed hot souther-
ly wind would suit his tree, and after
prayer the south wind blew upon his
olive-tree and it-died.
Some little while after the hermit
visited q brother hermit, and 10 by
his cell door stood fiourishing olive
tree. How came that goodly plant
there, brother? asked the unsuccess-
full hermit.
1 planted 1t, and God blessed 1t, and
it grew.
Ah, brother, I, too, planted an olive,
and when thought it wanted water I
asked God to give it rain, and the rain
came; and when thought 1t wanted
sun I asked, and the sun shone; and
when I deemed 1t needed strengthen
ing prayed and the frost came-God
gave me all l demanded for my tree as
saw fit, and yet It is dead.
And, /, brother, replied the other
hermit, I left my tree in Gods hands,
for He knew what it wanted better
than 1.

furnish information available at
moments notice of the scholarship.

and alumni. SO that the work OF the
college may be readily judged. and
any question that may arise concern
ing any man may be fairly settled.

Strike Breakers.

ST PAUL, Dec. 2.-Strike breakers
brought from Milwaukee and Chicago
arrived today to replace the striking
members of the National SWitchmen's
union. Although many of the places
vacated by the strikers are filed with
imported men, there is little improve
ment in the local situation. Traffic on
all lines between this city and the
Pacific coast is in a chaotic condition.
Additional strikebreakers are expected
to arrive from Chicago tonight and to-
morrow the first concerted attempt OF
the roads centering here to relieve the
tieuD will be made.
Five thousand flour mill operatives
are idle here and in Minneapolis today.
All the great mills of the twin cities
are quiet, only a few of the smaller
manufacturers having attempted to
carry on operations.

railroad company changed hands in
New York today by its severance from
the Rock Island company, with which
it was merged in 1903.
The purchasers are z. F. YoG KUN.
former chairman CT the Frisco Rock
Island executive committee, and 3. L.
WincheH, former president of the
Rock Island, who row becomes presi-
dent Of the Frisco. 1t is understood
that Messrs. Winchell and YOakum
have as their associates in the deal
some of the leading capitalists of the
middle west, including Adolphus
Busch and Festus J. Wade of ST.
Louis, as wei as the Union Trust
company of that city.
Despite deEials, the current belief
is that the Frisco will form some al
lance with the lines of Edwin Haw-
ley, the new conner in the railroad
world, who recently acquired, with b
F. Yoakum, control Of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas. At the same time
the relations of the Frisco and the
Rock Island are to be friendly and
for the benefit of both.
According to official statements, in
terests now in control of the St Louis
& San Francisco will operate that
road as an Independent property.
The st. Louis & Francisco Rail
road company was organized in 1896
as the successor Of the railway com
pany of that name, which had been
sold in foreclosure. When taken over
by the Rock Island company, control
of property rested with B. F. YCdIum
and his friends, and Mr.. YOakuIl was
made chairman of the Rock Island
executive committee.
Credence is given the rumors of a
YOakum- HaWley alliance in more
ways than one. Besides the Katy"
recently purchased, they have other
interests in common. Mr.. Hawley is
credited with the control of the
Chesapeake e. Ohio, the Chicago &
Alton, the Minneapolis & st. Louis
the Iowa Central and the Toledo. ST.
Louis & Western, while he is inter-
ested in Hooking Valley, To edo &
Ohio Central, the Western Pacific, the
Atlantic Coast line and Louisville &
