Again and again Blacks keen eyes roved the room
in search of possible hiding place. His utter failure
to solve this part of the problem annoyed him
greatly Exasperated at not finding his wits match
for those of the murderer he undessed and lay down
on the bed, not to sleep but to ponder.
THE whistle and clang of passing fire engines recalled
him to realities As he sprang to the window he

"Of course!' he exclaimed in tones of triumph.
The window opened on the flat roof of business

The interesting event this week to the social world

and Mrs. Stuyvesant Golden. Mr. Henry LISTER which
takes place clock this afternoon the home of
brides parents.
feeling of exultation swept Black at this ul-
expected verfcaton of his hypothesis but he wasted
time on jubation A glance at his watch showed
him that it already quarter past eleven. What was
to be done must be done quickly The para
noiac must not be permitted to carry out his wedding
plans. He rushed to the city editors desk.
Harton, veteran in gathering listened at first
ncredulousy nterestedy, and last enthusiaS-

By the time his star reporter showing the letters he
had received the city editor already making his

WHEN he reached "The Chronicle"

To mind the pilots bell:
And If ever the Prairie Bell took fire

And her day came at last
The Movnstar was better boat
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed,
And 50 she came tearin' along that

The oldest craft on the line
With a niger squat on her safety valve
And her furnace crsmmed. rosin and

The fire burst out as she cleared the bar
And burnt hole In the night,
And quick as a flash she turned, and

OF course II has been impossible TO ap-
portion this work among the counties
with exact mathematical equality ac-
cording to tho number Of crossings abol-
ished or the cost of the same. but an
honest attempt has been made to be fair
and just The total expenditure of money
in Windham county, for example. is
large because very extensive elimina-
ton has been planned at 3rattleboro.
Every county. however. has received
benefit under the provisions of the act.
This law has been popular and many
applications have been made for the
abolition Of dangerous crossings. In gen
eral the towns have been willing to bear
their share Of the expense and the rail-
roads have carried out their part In good
faith Naturally, the first crossings
eliminated have been those upon which
all parties could agree. and which pre-
sented the fcwest difficulties. OF course
many dangerous crossings have been
abolished. but some very bad ones remain
that will require the expenditure OF large
sums To remedy. AS the law now stands
the annual expense for this work Is limit
ed practically to $4,000 the State assuin-
ing 25 per cent Of the cost and appropri-
ating So, 900 for each years work. With
increasing engineering difficulties in the
crossings that remain the tim" is com
ing when more money must be spent II
this policy is TO be carried on to the best
| advantage.
when the law went into effect January
, /, 1907. there were 92i grade crossings in
! the State. With provision made for the
elimination Of "a there remains so to be
abolished. At this rate 1t will take a
| good many years to abolish all of them
1t is very Important that no backward
step should he taken. Tho number ahoF-
| shed every year by the State should not
be decreased. The appropriations voted
| should be greater rather than less. Every
| reader knows Of fatalities caused by ac-
cdents at crossings. This law Is a life
saving measure and the real value Of
| human lives cannot he estimated In terms
( of money. From the railroad point Of
/ view 1t would seem wise to prevent such
accidents. Every railroad desires 20
avoid the taking of life. and naturally
would prefer to spend money to make
accidents impossible rather than to pay
/ damage suits after prolonged litigation
I that tends to promote prejudice against
/ corporations. We want this law retain
ed for the safety Of ourselves and our
families. This is the principal reason. but
incidentally, this policy of safety tends "a
draw people to our State. either as resi-
dents or as visitors. No part Of our high
way policy Is more important.
| The Journal does not know that any
attempt will ne made to repeal this bene-
fcent law 1t does know that any attempt
to repeal it or weaken it would rouse a
powerful protest from all over the State,
1t is to he hoped that the law will be
made. If possible more efficient and that
it will be administered by a railroad com
mission In fun sympathy with its pro-
visions.

WHY PORK CHOPS COST so MUCH.

In 1908 corn sold during the month Of
September at 50 and the lowest price
was &c. BY careful observation from
strated by hog raisers that II costs a
minimum OF 800 per 100 pounds t. raise
u hog and deliver 1t to the market when
corn is selling around 80 per bushel. The
farmer as rule t. not forccaster of
values for years to come. and VIII not
continue to raise products which do not
WELD a profit In December, 1880 hogs
sold IN the Chicago market as low az
$4.S5 per 100 pounds. and in January, 1875.
there was a large supply OF hogs in sight;
and the largest hog receipts known in the
history Of the Chicago stockyards were
recorded during that month. This condi-
ton of the hog market discouraged farm
ers in the West and very many of them
began killing ell their hogs. even u their
sows. thus shutting off the source Of
future supply The result of the farmers
killing off their pigs and sows is shown
In tho comparative receipts OF hogs at
the Chicago stock yards In 1878 and 1875
In 1908 the total receipts of hogs We're
$4,000; and In 1868 only $1,000, a decrease
of $4,000, A table prepared ny the de-
