 KruttSchnitt.

Omaha. Neb.,. Dec. Julius Krutt- schnftt. director of maintenance and operation of the Hartman lines. and W. R. Park. vice president of the H. linois Central. spoke scoffingly when they were in Omaha yesterday of the offer of Attorney Brandeis of Boston to show the railroads how to save a million dollars day in their operating expenses. Park called the lawyer a fool and Kruttschnitt contented him self with sarcastic references to him. 'Brandeis is great said Krutt- schnitt with a sarcastic smile. ''the Union Pacific will certainly bid for his services. All the roads will gladly give him any salary he may demand .''
 "Brandeis? Why. he's a joke.'' said Park "He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a fool. He's going to spring that old piece work chestnut. which already has been proved a failure.
 ''The National Government couldn't make success of that system in it's navy yards. and the Union Pacific abandoned it some time ago after spending $2,0O0.o0 for its experience"

the old book stores where second hand
periodicals are kept in the hope OF
picking up some of the Beadle dime

has been in vain.

they have nothing of the charm pos

stories were classics, and Edward S.
Ellis, who wasn't ashamed to sign his
stories for Beadle, in spite of the fact
that he was also known in the educa-
tional field. These men were artists in
their way. and am sure that many an

that their work shouldn't be pre-

rArRs AS TRATNfNG SCHOOLS.

Fairs, such as the one which was
held in Topeka this fall and such as
the larger and better one which will
be held here next year if the state fair
bonds carry at the coming election,
are far more than amusement enter
prises. This is pointed out clearly in
an interesting article in the Delfneator
for October, from which the following
excerpts are taken:
Formerly fairs were chiefly racing
and pool selling events, with a few ex
hibits as side issues. The real vitality
of such institutions, however, lay in
their exhibits; and fairs, especially
state fairs, were built up into great
expositions to advertise their respec-
tive states and attract settlers. The
aim at first was to get new lands set
tied up and titled for the increased
business this would bring to all. Now,
however, a significant change is under
way. Fairs are being used not only
as of old to attract settlers and build
up new or old states, but to train
farmers in the best methods of agri-
culture and others to a belief in their
dependence upon the products of the
soil. The emphasis is now being put
upon the fair primarily as an educa-
tionaI institution.
James ]. Hill, the great railroad
builder of the northwest, in May, 1909,
at the conference on the conservation
of national resources, in Washington,
read a telling paper on the dangers of
exhausting the soil fertility of Ameri-
cas- farms. He said the danger was
not a thing of the distant future, but
a thing of the present, seen in the
abandoned farms of the east and in
| the frequently declining crops of the
west.
According to conservative estimates
previously made by Mr.. Hill, the popu-
lation of the United States by 1888,
| twenty eight years hence, will be 1922
900, 900. By that time, said Professor
John Hamilton, in a paper read before
! the Pennsylvania state board of agri-
culture in January, 1908, the states
will consume practically all of the
wheat they can raise, unless radical
changes are effected in agricultural
methods. At the present rate of wheat
production, with the utmost possible
| increase in wheat acreage, forty years
hence the people of the United States
will be dependent to a considerable ex-
tent for their breadstuffs upon foreign
nations.
Professor Hamilton, like Mr.. Hill
pointed out the only way to escape
such an outcome; he said: I'VE mus

two bushels of wheat must be made tc

about such a result. More than one

Didn't Aim at Cow.

Mrs. Isabella Tismer, of Knowlton
township, Washington, N. j., fired
pistol into the air and killed COW.
She asserts she had no idea of shoot
ing the animal--it belonged to
neighbor-and Henry Johnston, coun-
ty agent for the s. P. c. A, feels sure
that what Mrs. Tismer says is true.
1.-The best proof she did not aim at
the COW is the fact the bullet struck
the COW and killed it," he said. II
stands to reason that If she had aimed
at the air she would have hit the COW
or something else, and that if she had
timed at the COW she would have hit
the air or something else. That's wo-
mans workmanship. There nave
been exceptions, like Annie Oakley,
for instance, but Mrs. Tismer is not
one of those exceptions. If that COW
had been up in the air it would have
been safe. The mistake it made was
being on the ground when Mrs. It's
mer was shooting into the air."
At first Johnston did not view the
situation as he now views it, and an
action was begun against Mrs. Tismer
When he heard the woman's explana-
ton he applied to the case his keen
analytical mind and finally decided
that although the woman unquestion-
ably killed the COW, when the element
of intent was brought into the analysis
it proved her innocence completely OF
the charge of cruelty to an animal.
Therefore, he decided to try to effect
compromise, so the society might
escape the humiliation of defeat in
court He han agreed to discontinue
the action If Mrs Tismer will pay the
costs of the case as far as 1t has gone.
She may offer a counter suggestion
that they hold a target shooting con-
test to decide whether he or she shall
pay the costs. If that is agreed to,
Johnston may insist on himself being
the target for the sake of safety

FRON OTHER PENS
A Too-ExALrED STANDARD.

The establishment of business and
transportation property is highly to be
lauded. Railroads that build hand
some stations and induce their agents
to surrond them with grass, flowers
and shrubs, contribute to the pleasure
of life, and, therefore, add to the high
est good. But is it not possible to set
the standard too high?
The Chicago Record-HeraId imposes
this question on US by raising the is
sue that ugly coal sheds and stables,
litter of all sorts, can not be approved
on the right of way of the Illinois Cen
trail or any other railroad" It can not
be approved if the unesthetic features
can be got rid of without imparing the
efficiency of the service; but are there
not necessities more vital than railway
pulchritude?
For instance, we have not, in a
period of observation extending nearly
over the time since grain elevators
were, seen a building of that class that
was esthetic. Coal sheds, being in the
necessity of the case grimy, must be
abolished if the yearning for beauty is
not to be subject to gasps of disap-
pointment. Cattle yards may be made
sanitary, but to make them beautiful
is beyond our conception. What shall
it profit the age that the railroad right
of way is classic, if the people go unfed
with flour or beef and freeze in the
next blizzard ?-Pittsburg Dispatch.
