President Taft stated that "by my di-
rection the attorney general has draft
ed a bill to carry out these recon-
mendations, which will be furnished
upon request to the appropriate COM
mittee whenever it may be desired"
The fact that Attorney General Wick

the position of having drawn a meas

being unlawful

six leading railroad presidents had
their conference with President Taft.
The press associations reported that
the railroad men pleaded with the
president to drop the suit against the
merger, but that Mr.. Taft, after listen
ing very attentively to the arguments,
turned a deaf ear TO the entreaties of
his visitors. thus showing he could be

A still more remarkable feature of
the situation is that ex-Judge Lovett,

Fashion Notes

Ostrich plumes have assumed
an unexpected prominence and
the plumed hat is again a great
favorite.
ChantilIy and French figured
laces both edges and all over
patterns are extensively used
on the new hats.
Dotted wells are enjoying a
revival OF popularity, small,
medium and large dots being
about equally favored.
The up-to-date girl will have
blouses to match the material
of her suit These are smart in
sheer linens, barred dimity,
mulls or cotton Examines.
The Chantecler colors are
dominating the seasons millin-
cry. Those wonderful greens,
blues, reds, tans and tawny yell
lows are being much used.
The woman whose head Is
perfectly dressed attracts more
admiration and attention than
the woman with the smartest
gown, but who wears an unbe-
coming hat. You should be par
ticular who you have for your
milliner.

kITYs EYES.

Kitty has the loveliest eyes,
So bright and clear they seem to
me-,
But when it comes to holes in hose
Why, then, my Kitty cannot see.
She scans my treasured summer silks.
Likewise my fall and winter crops,
And says: The only holes that
Can see in these are at the tops"
Dear, Thrown, but myopio eyes;
They cannot spy the vacant spot
Where once a needed button was;
They look and look, but see 1t not
But never once do complain;
I even cherish this neglect:
For Kitty also fails to see
That have many a sad defect.

New York, April 2-The New York
Central has issued. a general order in
creastng by 7 per cent the pay of all
employees on the New York Central
lines east of Buffalo who now earn
5000 a month or less. Vice President
c. F. Daley said that the directors of
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern,
the Michigan Central and the Big -Four
probably would take similar action.
The order goes into effect immedi-
ately. Those employees whose demands
for wage increase are now under ad-
visement-the telegraph operators, the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and
the Order of Railway Conductors-are
not Included.
Directly affected are the locomotive
engineers and firemen and the extra
clerical force. Yard switchmen and
yard conductors receive a Scent an
hour advance, in accordance with the
terms of an agreement recently reach
ed through the federal board of arbi-
tration.
It is estimated that the general in
crease will cost the eastern division
81 100000 year.

This youth does not stand alone.
for in our own midst there are now,
and nearly always are, similar cases.
For the past year several female
students from distant country home $
have with tireless energy shown up
promptly each day at the Bel Air
High School and made a winning
tight over town students for high
standing in their classes. Because Of
better facilities here than could be
enjoyed in their home schools they
have daily faced wind, rain, snow
and frost and have covered miles of
walking which was far from the best
often to win honors over those who
rode half mile from their homes to
the schoolhouse door.
And so, too, the student who docs
not expect everything to be made
easy for him in the claas room, or
who does not unite every literary
knot with the first effort is all the
richer By finding out that the victories
with difficulty won are the victories
worth while in life.
The things which we all value most
are those which have cost us most
especially if this cost is measured in
brain and Drawn and moral courage.
