A Song Recital at st. Paul's Episco-

ing will serve to introduce Mr.. Oley
Speaks, the famous Columbus BARI
tone, to music-lovers of Marion.

cital work and his simple and unafs

Steel Passenger Coaches.

Upon the delivery of 424 all-steel

Pullman company, the Hartman lines
will have more steel equipment than
any other railroad system in the Unit,

Distinctive prominence in the use
of all-steel cars has hitherto been en-
joyed by the Pennsylvania system
which, with recent orders, soon will
have 900 passenger coaches of that

the Hartman lines by the end of the
year will have 925 such cars in service.
FurthesShore, it is believed that within
five years every passenger train on
the Hartman system will be of steel
construction.
The marked advantages Of all-steel
passenger cars is their ability to with

The Home Town.

Here is what Robert ]. Burdette
the clerical humorist, once said about
''the home town" and which stands
as the platform of the chamber OF
commerce of Burlington-the city
which Burdette dwell so long:
He owes this duty to himself and
the town-to own-a part of it.
Ever so small a lot, If he can't own
a big one. A 40-foot front, if he
can do no better. But he should
own a part of the town. That gives
him stake in it.
That man who owns a home in
the town never calls his town-it.
When he speaks of it, whether it be
London, or Tail-holt, New York, or
waikiki, he says we-our town.
And he has right to. He is a
stakeholder, a partner.
more than that. when he owns
a piece of ground, farm or town lot,
he has a stake in the earth. He is
citizen of the universe. His prop.
erty extends from the birthstone out
to the stars. Even now they are dis
putting concerning the right Of an
airship to sail through the air over
a mans house without the owners
permission. The very thought is
enough to make man feel chesty.
And with good cause.
When a wild anarchist buys a
town lot he subsidies into moder-
ate socialist When he builds a
house on it, he fades into con-
sentative citizen. When he brings
a wife into it and transforms the
house into a home he is apt to join
the republican or democratic party,
and begins to question the wisdom
Of strikes. When the baby is born
ne opens an account at the bank. And
when the boy is 1 4 years old he be-
gins the very serious study of the
question of prohibition as contrasted
with an open town. with the lid off.
"A man who owns his home be-
gins to study his ticket six weeks
before election day. He scrutinizes
every name on it, and looks up the
candidates record. 1t is the man who
can tie up his real and personal
property in a handkerchief that shuts
his eyes and votes the ticket the boss
gives him without unfolding it.
"a man owes it to his town to
boost it in public on all occasions
and at all times. The corrections of
its failings and faults are for the
privacy of the home circle. A man
who would thrash his boy on the
front steps of the court house ought
to be whipped out of town. The
citizen who welcomes the stranger by
telling him what a rotten CITY gov
eminent we have. what a corrupt
set of officials misrule the town;
how the town lags behind the age in
all matters of progress and develop
ment. that it is a dead town and
will be so long as certain men rule
it is an undesirable citizen.
When man tells you that what
his town needs is a half dozen first
class funerals, he may be correct.
But he should be the first to be bur-
led.

An army officer, summoned as an ex-
pert in a New York shooting case, OBJ
jected to taking the usual oath to tell
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. He said he was willing
to tell all he knew, but it was quite
possible also that he might be mis-

with the whole truth. If all experts
