World says, within a few mouths to

The railroads are anxious to give the
best service which their patrons can
demand. But this service is impossi-
BILE without the sale of securities, and
securities in sufficient amount cannot
be sold with railway earnings at their
present level. The necessity for
higher rates is SO apparent that its
demonstration to the satisfaction of
every shipper should not require the
painful experiences of inadequate

Some of us who used to chew gum,

observation and more or less pro-
tected from dust. In some of the
kindergarten schools of this city a
gentler dispsnsation prevails. Gum

bad ball is pitched, and "Safer' ev-

The widows mite is liable to grow
mighty when she keeps a diary. as is
shown by recent happening In Chi
cago, contends the Boston Transcript.
Step-daughters claimed an estate and
seemed in fair way to get it, when
the diary appeared. Immediately the
case was taken out Of Court for set
Element, the only condition offered by
the step-daughters being that the
book be destroyed. In this instance
the diary developed cash value of
100000. One can conceive of cir
cumstances in which an intimate and
truthful record might cost more than
that to the one who kept it.; yet,
speaking of such literary efforts as
carried on by normal persons who
live decently, one might safely affirm
that diary is almost always worth
the labor it necessitates. Genius does
not necessarily pertain to its produc-
ton. The chief requisites for success
in this field are a disposition to be
honest and determination to be
good-natured, and. granting these vir-
tues, one may "iournalize' at almost
any length, without present fear or
gisk Of subsequent reproach.
