Yet when we catch the gentle grace.

We know that time our reckoning mis-

A life so full we can not measure.
Not dates or years the story tell
But its worth in others lives we treasure

TRAFFIC
IS REPORTED
AND OHIO RAILROAD
HAS UNUSUALLY HEAVY
SHlPMENTS. I,

During the past week traffic has
been unusually heavy on this division
of the Baltimore and Ohio road. espe-
c!ally between this city and Cumber.
land, Maryland while the freight busi-
ness has been unusually heavy during
the past two weeks over the entire
system, much larger than at the same
time last year. The large amount OF
freight business at this season Is. due
to holiday shipmentsfto a certain ex-
tent while shipments Of all kinds are
being made, including coal, which is
being sent East and North with as
much rapidlty as possible before win
ter with Its heavy SHOWS arrives. Why
passenger traffic should be so unusual,
y heavy at this season cannot be ex.
planned. a
A well.known conductor, who has
been running on passenger trains be-
tween this city and Cumberland for
the past score Of years, stated last
evening that he never saw business
heavier on his division than 1t has
been during the past week for this
time OF the year and he was unable to
account for 1t; but It was nothing un-
usual for passenger traffic to become
heavy at most any time of the year for
a period OF week or ten days and the
drop back TO normal conditions. He
said that when the sudden "spurts"
takes place 1t seems that all the peo-
pie in the country have taken a notion
all OF sudden to travel.
In about ten days holiday passenger
traffic will commence, many persons
