New York, Jan. 1S.-The names of
the men who own the railroads of the
United States have always been an
interesting subject for discussion The
Wall Street Journal has been able from
various sources to get the names of
the larger stockholders of the most
prominent railroad systems in the
United States as they stood in the late
fiscal year.
Sometimes stock lists are interesting
for what they do not show on their
face; but even obscure names under
discerning eye may spell what is well
known. While. of course. stockhold-
ers of the important railroad systems
vary from year to year, yet the hold
ings of the larger owners remain prac-
tically nearly stationary year in and
year out
The list below Is accurate, with the
exception that in some few cases the
amount is approximate rather than ac-
tual. but in no instance is the approxi-
nation more than from $4,000 to $685.

actual figures:

An old.Fa.hloned Woman.

This IL the tale Of an old-fashioned
woman. Her husband, who had accu.
INFLATED wealth as the years went by
and had begun to take life easy, wor-
ried because his wife worked as hard
as ever. He hired cook, and within
two weeks found his wife waiting on
the cook. Then he hired q maid to
wait on the cook, and q short time
afterward found his wife waiting on
the maid. At one time he had hired
four persons, a man, a cook, the maid
and scrub women and found that his
wife worked as hard as ever. (This is
an explanation Of why q certain man
sits on the front porch and reads and
smokes while his wife, who has earned
equal right to rest, is scrubbing in
the kitchen: She is enjoying herself
in her way just as much as he is IN

haxina cummins.

Senator Cummins is not very well
pleased that he is left to be the only re-
publican senator without q. committee
craftsmanship. Senator Page. who en-
tered the senate the day before Gov
ernor Cummins, was accorded a minor
craftsmanship, but the junior senator
from Iowa will have to wait until the
beginning of the next congress before
he can head a committee. He was as
signed, however, to two. committees OF
which Senator Allison had been a
member, on the University of the
United States and on additional ac-
Communications for the library Of con-
gress a select committee. Mr.. Cum
minis also was made member of the
committee on public health and ma
tional quarantine where a vacancy ex-
listed by the retirement of Senator
Stewart of Vermont. AS Senator Hem
enway Of Indiana, who is chairman Of
the committee on the University OF
the United States, will retire March 4.
Senator Cummins may be made chair
man of that committee then. The
committee is not burdened with bust
ness as no University Of the United
States exists Its clerk, however, draws
$4,000 year while the clerk to SEN
ator without a Craftsmanship gets only

rnittes chairman, was allowed a mes
senger at s1,44O a year, in addition to
his personal clerk.
Senator Cummins will ask for rooms
in the new senate office building as
soon as it is completed. as he does
not particularly like his present quar-
ters in the house Office building.

WITH LOCUST PLAGUE.
Methods Employed by the pwelIers in

Algeria and Tunis have this year
suffered from an extraordinary inva-
sion of locusts. The locusts arrive

They cover the ground as with yell

railways so slippery that the trains can
hardly run. At this stage they are not
voracious. being engaged principally
in laying their eggs. But 40 days later
the young locusts, not yet winged, be-
gin to run about devouring every
green thing, including not only leaves,
but even the bark and tender shoots
OF trees. The hordes, advancing in a
body, sometimes cover an area of sew
eral square miles. Barbados Of cloth,

to crawl up the smooth surface. Pass

smooth descending paths, ending in
poisoned bitches. The insects follow
the descents, and thus go to their
deaths.-Youth's Companion.
