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

Mr. Edward H. Hartman is on a
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 monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri-
man is going off on a pleasure trip,
and so many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage of
the lapse from the cold attitude of se-
verify that is usually used in men
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all .he great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, E. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan) Daily News. The head of a
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
his care. Hartman is not only a
tinancier, but he is builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town. CITY
or community that has a Hartman
road. He insists on a 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 a
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 a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a 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 fair
deal.
He is public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is a great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
of the money power, seeking whom
it may devour He is a strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan.
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, race horses, old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per.
fect-and we don't think he is-he is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.

to that she had had wide experience
in the field following her course of
study at Cornell. The circumstances
under which Miss Mitchell obtained
her education at the big college in
Ithaca and the determination with
which she pursued her interest in in
sect life are more than ordinarily in
teresting.
When Miss Mitchell was a small
youngster playing about her parents
home in East Orange, she manifested
keen interest in everything that
crawled or flew. She brought some
thing more than discomfort into the
household when she introduced all
sorts of things, from spiders to bats,
and took delight in watching her cap
tives. When she was ten years old
she was sent to school, and shortly
afterward she came across book en-
titled Ten Thousand Spiders" by
Burt Green Wilbur, professor of physi-
ology at Cornell university. This was
the first intimation she had that bugs
and beetles and such things were ever
made a life study, and during the re-
naming years of her schooling in
East Orange she nursed the hope that
one day she could find Mr.. Wilbur
and study all about his Ten Thou.
sand Spiders" with him.
Preparations had been completed by
her father for her entrance to Cornell
university, when reverses came and it
looked as If the young nature stu
dent would have to give up her ambi
tion. She thought it out awhile and
then took French leave of her family,
going to Philadelphia, where she
asked John b. Stetson to lend her the
money, at interest, for her first year
at Cornell. The funds were forthcom-
ing. Miss Mitchell went to college,
and after her first year she worked
her way through. paid back the money
to Mr.. Stetson and was appointed an
instructor in field zoology at the Cor.
nell summer camp.
1t was about this time that DR.. ].
w. Dupree, surgeon general of Louis
lana, sent to Cornell for a "hrst-ciass
man" to be sent to the Louisiana
State university as field and labora.
tory assistant In mosquito work. Miss
Mitchell was selected as. the man."
and she made good.
From Baton Rouge. La, Miss Mitch.
ell came to Washington and began
her work for the government at the
National museum.
She was the first woman to be
given place on the faculty of George
Washington university, when she was
made instructor in zoology She is n
member of the Biological Society OF
Washington, the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science,
the chronological Society of America
and the National Health league.
When she came to Washington Miss
Mitchell took and still holds the place
at the National museum made va.
cant by the death OF DIR. Mcconnell,
who for years made the drawings OF
shells for DR.. william H. Dali Of the
Smithsonian Institution.

A SUNDAY Sermon,

One must accept life as it is. 1t
gives us great happiness If we are
wise enough to see it, and it balances
the scales by sending great sorrows
too.
But that is life.
If you would make the world bright
er try to forget your hurts, dry your
eyes and turn to help those who need
the pressure of friendly hand, the
encouragement of smiling look.

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation oi
health. People can eat improper food
for time until there is a sudden col.
lapse Of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
Is to shift to the pure, scientific food
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer / was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was SO
sore could hardly move about. This
kept up until was SO miserable life
was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, Induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although l had but little faith
commenced to use 1t, and great was
my surprise to find that 1 could eat
1t without the usual pain and distress
In my stomach.
so I kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon marked improvement was
SHOWN, Tor my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto.
gether I felt as II had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid.
ly and went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day l am a new woman in mind
as we'll as body, and I owe 1t all to
this natural food, Grape-Nuts."

Fine Pyrotechnic Display.
After a good rest, the city's guests
all turned out again this evening and
witnessed the magnificent display of
fireworks on the top of Ensign peak.
This peak lies Immediately north of
the city and is the highest point of the
Wasatch mountains, rising 1900 feet
higher than Temple square. The py-
rotechnic display is mighty feature
of the encampment week.
Salt Lake City has thrown open her
arms to the old soldiers, and never
has the Grand Army been more en-.
Enthusiastically received or more gener.
ously entertained than at this en-
campment. Many thousands of the
veterans and their families and mem
bers of all the organizations allied to
the Grand Army have participated in
the exercises and entertainments, and
are unanimous in their praise of the
treatment they have received.
Well Managed Encampment.
The old soldiers have been very
carefully looked after by the local
committee on public comfort and pri-
vate accommodations, and at the "a
information bureaus at the various
railway stations and convenient places
about the city. During the entire time
of the encampment these committees
have had the services of 800 high
school cadets, whose duties have been
to render every possible assistance to
the visitors.
Henry NJ. Nevius, the commander-in
chief, arrived here Saturday with his
staff and inspected the arrangements.
On Sunday the city's guests began ar
irving by the thousand, and on Mon
day they came in so fast that the COM
mittee had to work like sailors to get
them all housed in such a manner as
to avoid congestion in any part of the
city.
Big "Greetings" Meeting.
Monday evening came the first pub

been received and distributed. That
night the greatest function of the en-
