The Railroads Side.

IL has been said over and over when

industry begins to affect various other
industries and trade, that in the end the
public has to pay the bills, And this Is
true But there are other victims and
some that do not always succeed N
recompensing themselves eventually at
the public cost.
For instance, several years ago the
Central Vermont railway purchased FIVE
hundred up-t0-date platform cars for the
better handling Of the granite traffic
on its line. 1t Is needless to say that
such an equipment cost many thousands
Of dollars, and it may be interesting Just
now to know that this particular equip
ment has not been paid for vet, but is
represented by debt which the railroad
has been carrying along at interest for
some time
Now what # the result Of the strike
in the granite industry IN Vermont upon
the Central Vermont railway Several
hundred Of these cars are lying idle on
sidetraeks up and down the line, not only
not earning single penny to Offset
their own maintenance and depreciation,
but not earning a single penny to pay
their original purchase price. And all the
time the interest on the principal repre-
sented BY each one of them goes On pill
ing up in larger and larger figures

active and there IS a demand for cars, the

Count New EnuIand Out.

The federal conservation commission
has published figures tending to show
that in spite of the increase in the
prices of farm products, farm land has
of abandoned farms is steadily increas-
ing. The report says that these farms
lie chiefly in New England, New York,
and the Southeast and the Middle Cen
trail states. That is equivalent to say
ing that the only abandoned farms are
found in those portions of the United
States which were settled first and
that the West has not been settled long
enough to have developed this choice
class of monuments to failures. We
are also told that there are $1,000
square miles of abandoned farms, that
is, that there are 100000 acres of land
once cultivated, now abandoned
The number of farms which have
been deserted in Maine during the last
five years is very small indeed. and Is
more than offset by the number which
have been taken up and improved. we
think that further investigation OF the
conservation commission figures VIII
disclose the fact that thousands of
acres of it's total lie in the Southwes-
tern states, where the exodus from the
r,,ra, sections to the mill towns has
been very marked since the advent OF
the cotton mills. Many acres are found
in the Middle Central states where the
wasteful farm methods of land specu-
lators, rather than farmers, obtained
for many years. 1t is wrong to include
New England in the district where the
tendency is to abandon farms and flee
| to the cities, for everyone knows that

'Pickpockets generally work in
crowds or bands, and many clever jobs
are done while helping an old man or
woman on a car. OF course, these
crooks frequent crowds, and in the case
of prop getters' for instance, the thief
will use a handkerchief in front of a
mans scarf and with the other deity
lift out his pin. I remember one IN
cident when two of these prop getters'
were working together. One of them
spied beautiful stone in the scarf of
prosperous looking passenger on a
street car. He tipped off his partner
and signalled that he was going after
the stone, when the latter held him

"Why, what's the matter; 1t isn't IL

"'No. it's all right but there must

For I couldn't understand,
But were he to come again
I should like to clasp his hand;
And were he to find me here
I should like to let him know
That the years have made it clear
How I wronged him long ago.
With the hot blood of my youth,
And its rosy, golden glow.
l can speak it now, in truth,
l looked on him as a foe;
For he checked me when he could
And he fooled my dearest plan,
And | never understood
For l grew to hate the man.

Others loudly spoke my praise:
But he saw my plan was lame,
And he tried by many ways
To convince me L was wrong

Still believing all along
That he really hated me.
But the years have passed since then
And today I understand

And now I am near the end,
