going away" Did you see mother
look upl Did you see the arrow that
pierced her heart7 Listen at father
say: "Son, Mother and I are getting
old now; our locks are turning gray:
and We had hoped in our old age to
lean on your arm" They implore him
to remain. But no he gathers up his
belongings, takes his wallet of money,
kisses mother goodbye, shakes hands
with the father and is gone.
Mother, with heart almost broken
cheeks wet with tears, watches him
go. A conscience within him causes
him to look back to the old home. and
mother waves a fond goodbye. Look
at her; bowed down with grief. Re-
turning from the hallway to her IA
vorite room, she sits down, and look
ing back over her years she sees
that boy in childhood. She can al
most hear his childish prattle. This
is the first night the boy is away from
home without mothers knowledge of
his whereabouts. She is thinking of
him. Father is there; the other boy
is there, too. But the younger, the
baby. Help her, poet "Where Is
my wandering boy tonight?
Let us turn to the boy. / see a
gawky country fellow, dressed up
with a crowd around him; a crowd
educated in sin, intemperance and
vice, and all this poor boy knows how
to do is TO foot the bills. Look at him !
Feasting at the best hotel in the city !
Hear the clicking Of the glasses-nll

at The dance; the center of attraction
at all the gay festivals. But the fool

Gates his clothes, his jewelry. Not a
friend in all the gay crowd to come to
his rescne. He is by himself nov.
They are peeping at him from the WIN

From loving home and mother to
the Gay City; from there to the hog
pen. Just as low as he could get.
But this poverty is a blessing.
He came to himself when he caught
up with the hog pen. A boy will not
do right-cannot do right until he
comes to himself. The thought of
home and mother and father came to
him, and he said: 81 will arise and 90

Relative to the affairs of the Bal timore and Ohio system President Dan iel Willard is quoted as saying
 At present we don't propose plac- ing any orders for new rails or equip ment. We purchased adequate equip ment last year to serve present de- mands and our rail renewals in past years have been sufficiently liberal to carry us over another year If neces- sary without detriment to physical conditions. We are rather cautious in adding to our commitments just now, for the future looks quite uncertain, Operating expenses have increased to such an extent that they more than consume any increase In revenue.

Worcester, Mass, manufacturers are deeply interested In the plan to establish a steamship line between Boston and Texan ports, as they think it would give them splendid opening to increase their trade In the southwest, being enabled to ship their goods more economically.
 The plans for the proposed line are outlined in a letter President Charles T.. Tatum of the Worcester Board of Trade has received from President Bernard J. Rothwell of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, and the practicability of the project is described in an accompanying report made by Robert Rantoul, Boston. who made thorough investigation of conditions This report was considered by a special group of members of the Boston chamber prominent in financial and business circles who had furnished the necessary fund for the survey in Texas. It was by them forwarded to the executive committee of the cham Der, who in turn passed it with their in dorsement to the directors, and it was finally acted upon and unanimously in- dorsed by the largely attended meeting of7the Chamber of Commerce.
 The Boston chamber decided that the advantage of such a line would be in an enormous increase in New Englands trade with the southwest, and an equita- ble adjustment of transportatioH rates rail and water. to that great territory Such line would in effect bring Boston as near Galveston as cities which have a 500-m mile rail haul. This is 59 miles near ef thansis St Louis, the most formidable competitor fors the, southwest trade. It would brng Boston, as far as cost of transportation% goes. as near to Calves ton asi is to Buffalo, and al the doors of the. population in Texds alone exceed f,,,y Island combined, besides opening up Cirect and cheap route to Mexico Arkan- sas, Oklahoma, Colorado.
