New England Pie.

Some poor dweller in the benighted
beyond of Chicago asks what real
New England pie is like. 1t probably
Will not help him TO be told, but if he
means apple it is like an essay by En-
erson liquefled with the music of Mas
sanet and spiced with the cynicism of
Shaw. If he means pumpkin it is like
some of Gounods music heard in n
landscape all sun and flowers, and if
he means mince pie, why, it is like an
increase in salary and a present from
home arriving on the day when one 5
conscience was behaving itself.-Bos-

OR SUNBERRY

Has Proved N Great Succc~S-Thou-
snnds say It's the Rest Thing
They Ever Grew.
The WOnderberry or Sunberry. the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank. and introduced by

In the short season of Northwestern
Canada it is a goGsend. and fruits long
after frost has killed most garden

d. S Hill, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X s. Enochs. Hammond, La, says

Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.
The chief bookkeeper in large bust
ness house in one of our great West
ern cities speaks of the harm coffee
did for him:
MY wife and / drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years
ago, and we have used it ever since,
to the entire exclusion of tea and cof-
fee. 1t happened in this way:
About three and half years ago
had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly. neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but / became convinced, after
time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. / happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that 1 give Postum a
trial
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake Of not boiling it
sufficiently, and we did not like it
much This was. however, soon RENE
died, and now we like it so much that
we will never change hack. Postum,
being a food beverage instead of a
drug, has been the means of curing
my stomach trouble. / verify believe.

Used no other remedy.
My work as chief bookkeeper in
cur Co.'S branch house here is of a
very combining nature. During my
coffee-drinking days l was subject to

Free Postage.

When the post of ice was first opened
at Kai Feng, China, the clerks had a
fight with some men who bought
stamps and refused to go away until
the stamps were licked and stuck on
their envelopes for them. The foreign
post offices in Palestine are usually
convulsed by a spirit of keen competi-
ton If parcel exceeding the regu-
lation weight or size is taken to an
Office and refused the traveller IN the
majority of cases has only to threaten
to take it to a rival Office, and it is
straightway received without a muir
muir. So keen is the rivalry between
some of these Offices that residents in
Palestine possess a free post within
certain districts Between Jaffa and
the surrounding colonies and also with
in Jerusalem the German and Aus
trian Offices make no charge for the
delivery of local letters3Chicago

Schnapps is a dachshund, and the
people who know all about the breed
call the queer looking animal hand

where he is the pet he is credited with
more than ordinary dog sense and with

in English or German. In order TO
demonstrate his sagacity his master
said to him a few evenings ago:
"Schnapps, the young people have

The Senate acted promptly Thurs
day on the summons of the District
Court for the joint committee on print
ing to appear in the paper award pro-
ceedings brought by the Valley Paper
Company, by instructing the Senate
members of the committee TO ignore
the summons. The Senate denied the
right of the courts TO interfere with
its legislative function. Senator Borah
in a speech on the income tax asserted
that the fears of Governor Hughes that
the constitutional amendment would
make possible the taxing of state and
municipal securities were groundless.
The House spent the entire day in de-
batting whether the House members of
the joint printing committee should
obey the court summons to appear in
the Valley Paper Company's case. The
majority of the judiciary committee
favored compliance, but three mem
bers, including Chairman Parker,

Saws Wheat Has Been Damaged

Atchison, Kan, April 26.-B. P. Wag-
gener, president of the Exchange Ma
tional bank, of Atchison, writes to the
Wall Street Journal of New York and
says that:
Wheat in this state has been dam
aged probably to the extent of so per
cent, yet feel sure that, with a favor
able season, the loss will be more than
compensated by an increased acreage
of corn.
Hogs. cattle. horses and mules are
commanding big prices, and farmers
in Kansas are being greatly benefited
and prof1ted thereby. 1 have lived in
this state for over 40 years and have
never known the farmers of Kansas 70
be in so prosperous a condition as they
are now. Instead of borrowing money
and mortgaging their farms. as was
formerly the custom, they are loaning
and becoming largely interested
in banks.
1.-The price of land in the last three
years has advanced 25 to 40 per cent,
and land is in grea demand. In short,
I am looking forward to an era of ur-
precedented prosperity in the west

FINE RECORD ON 1oADNGs.
New Report Shows One Ton Better
Than Ever Before.

New records in average car loadings
and in daily movement of tonnage
were made in November, 1909, on the
railroads of the United States and Can
ada, according to the report of the
American Railway association, just is
sued, giving the details of car balance
and performance for that month. The
average tons per loaded car moved in
that month was 22.4, one ton higher
than the best average heretofore re-
corded. The average number of miles
travelled by a freight car in one day,
25.4 miles, was only a fraction below
the daily distance covered in October.
AS a result, each car moved an average
of 405 tons one mile every day, which
Is a new record in ton miles per car
per day.
The average daily earnings of each
car was $2.S3. which. while cents
lower than the October figure, is 1 cent
higher than the highest average pre-
viously reccrded-that of October
1907. This decrease from the month
previous, when taken in connection
with the increased ton mile figures, in
dicates clearly that traffic handled was
made up Of q larger proportion of low
rated commodities. showing the ap-
proach of winter traffic.

BIG MERGER OF TEXAS LINES.
Central" Beaumont" and "Great
Northern, to Be Jointly Operated.


Austin, Texas, April 26.-It is an
nounced that the Texas Central and
the Beaumont and Great Northern
ated as one property. According to
one report, this is to be accomplished
by the purchase of the Beaumont and
Great Northern by the Texas Central,
but another persistent rumor is that
both lines are to be taken over by the
Santa Fe. 7 was rumored recently
that negotiations were pending for the
sale of the Texas Central to one of the
larger systems of railway with which it
connects. The Beaumont and Great
Northern runs between Knox and
Trinity, and it recently amended its
charter to provide for construction of
to Waco, about 120 miles. Its original
charter authorizes it to build to Beau
mont, about sixty miles from Knox.
The Texas Central runs from Waco
northwest to the lower western part
of the Panhan dle, and is now being
extended still further west When its
present construction plans are fulfilled
it will have more than 500 miles of
track. This road, in connection with
the Beaumont And Great Northern
when the latter extensions are finished,
will form a new and direct route be-
tween the northwestern part of the
southeastern corner. r. G. Duff of

manager of the Beaumont and Great

lines are making a tour of inspection

OF INTEREST TO PASSENGERS
Oklahoma Commission Proposes to
Enforce Several New Orders.

Guthrie, Okla, April 26.-The COR
pOratiOn commission will issue an or
der shortly governing the charges for
excess baggage. 1t will provide that
railroads charging a two-cent fare will
be permitted to charge 8 per cent for
excess baggage, while the roads that
have reinstated the three-cent fare will
be permitted to charge but IL per cent.
The commission yesterday gave the
railroads hearing upon three pro-
posed orders governing train service.
One proposes to make first class pas
senger ticket good until used. This
was opposed by the railroads, who
claim that it would give INSCRIPTIONS
hands of scalpers and interruptions
passengers and make it possible for
tickets to be used two or three times
The commission based the proposed
who pays his money for a ticket has a
right to ride upon the ticket at any
time. 1
Another proposed order requires
that all exits to railroad train be open
ed at stations of over 5000 inhabit-
ants. Complaints have been made to
the commission that passenger trains
are often delayed by the slowness in
passengers.
The third order proposes to revoke
plies to roads charging the three-cent
fare. The roads that are still charging
the two-cent fare would be permitted
to enforce the cash fare penalty.
The order which it is proposed to re-
woke permits conductors to collect a
cash penalty of 10 cents to the first
station from passengers who board a
train without purchasing ticket, al
lowing the conductor to use discretion
in relieving the passenger of the penal
ty if he did rot have the time to pur-
chase his ticket before boarding the
train.

Santa Fe train No. s. This is the car
that was given him about six years
ago by his employees. The large re-
frigerator in the car was filled when
Colorado was left so that Mr.. Busch
would have plenty to drink on the
way across the dry desert of Kansas,
but the stock was getting short when
he reached here. A telegram was sent
ahead to the union depot at Kansas
City requesting that fresh supply
of liquors be ready for him when he
reached there. The telegram contain
ed an order for dozen quarts of old
Scotch rye, another dozen of the best
quality of whisky, a few dozen pints
of French table wines and cham
payne, and several cases of the gen
uine "AnheuSer-B Busch" These were,
of course, to be the products of the

ally, the telegram contained. at the
last an order for a few of the neces-
stiles of life, two pounds of butter and
a few quarts of milk and cream.
