Peary's Educated Esquimaux Boy Is
Returning to His People

New York. April 13.-Mene, the Es-
quimaux boy brought here in 1896 from
the region of the Humboldt glacier in
Greenland, by Commander Peary, and
who disappeared from this city. has
written to Chester Beecroft announcing
his intention of returning to his peo-
pie.
when this reaches you,' the letter
read, II will be well on my way. Never
mind where 1 am, I am just working
north. / am homeSick and disguised
and when Commander Peary told me
he had no room for me on his ship l
lost hope. Then, when Prof Bumppus
of the museum of natural history re-
fused to give me my fathers body so
that / could bury it or give me my sled
and gun, gave up believing that your
Christian belief which you taught me
was meant for a poor Esquimaux boy.
After all my own people are more hu-
man and kind and I am going home
Your civilization has done nothing but
harm for me and my people. Good
bye"

Born right, Albert L. Mohler has
great men of his day who in youth
picked with precise choice the life
work he wanted to do. and then
stuck. In any other line he probably
would have achieved leadership, too;
but in his own selected line he has
been a master spirit from every
angle
Believes in Men.
Such a training as this man has
had could not fail to make him, as
he is today, in the prime of life, a
veritable part of the whole railroad
life of his immense system. From
section hand business to official gen.
eralship. and all grades in between,
feet. Then, too, he believes in men;
that, after all, the human equation
is the great thing in any task. no
matter how seemingly small. The
Union Pacific road-and that COM
prehends every human unit on it's
rolls-is understood by him from
every standpoint. SO when he talks
to any part of that road, through men
or orders. he talks with precise know
ledge. and the winning. sustaining
note of intelligent sympathy strikes
the loyal responsive chord without
whose thrill Mohler and his system
would be much less than they are.
Here is a man in power-invested
with really autocratic attributes, who
governs and wins because he has
sensed what the eternal verities are
His mind, his spiritual outlook, is
large in vision, and grasps high pos
sibilities most naturally: yet he never
lets his feet get off the earth. He
lives bravely on terra firma; but can
range the higher altitude just as fear
lessly and as fairly as he deals with
the simplest problem; just as sanely
and circumspectly as he discusses
small sma - practical details with humble
assistants. Men like Vice President
Mohler are undoubtedly blessed and
most fortunate In their parentage'
away back and immediate. Also, the
would is lucky to have them as an
asset. They count big. and are worthy
the tribute and the fortune they win
by merit-and work.

like a shadow all the world besides

What will you do with this mighty
force? If you are permitted to realize
your ambition to lead the world,
abandonment of faith in the eternal and
the neglect of every duty, to senseless
worship of mammon. to useless frivoli-
ties. No, am sure you won't.
Where else can you lead this poor,
blind, stumbling world of ours, but to
the almighty, Just, holy God and obedi-
ence to His commands; to the practice
OF righteousness, purity, honor, kind
ness. and simplicity; to self sacrificing
service of mankind?
America, I invite you to the actual
realization of the Christian principles

RAILROADS LOST MONEY.
Total Decrease in Earnings During
Panic Over $3.50, 900, 900.

Chicago. April 13.-An advance
abstract of statistics of American rail-
ways for the year ending June 80.
1908 compiled by the bureau of rail-
way news and statistics and just made
public here says:
Instead of a decrease of only
1854. 464 941 in gross earnings as the
result of the temporary financial de-
preston of 1907-S as set forth in
the preliminary income report of the
Interstate Commerce commission for
the year ending June 80. 1908. the
panic of 1907 resulted in a loss of
over $330,00O.O00. This statement is
based on a table giving the earnings
for the twelve months ending Novem-
Der 80. 1905"
In the same way the loss in net
earnings is shown to have been s129.-
540.460 instead of S111,051,006 as
given in the commission statement
''The two cent passenger fare 1egisla-
tion caused a loss of $25,000,000 in
gross earnings, although more pas
sengers were carried. This is ac-
counted for by a reduction in aver
age receipts per passenger mile on
"a per cent of the mileage from POI
cents In 1907 to 1882 in 1905"
