travelling man that the manager

We'll you go and ask him for the
card sent in" said the caller.
In a few minutes the boy returned
from his second trip. Say" remarked
the boy, 1.-The boss told me to tell you

7. C. PLATT is DEAD
easy BOSS" READING SUNDAY
PAPERS WHEN ATTACKED.
Former Senator From New York
Was Leader of His Party in
State Many Years.

New Nork.-Thomas Collier Plat, for
formerly United States senator from
New York and for many years a na-
tional figure in Republican politics, died
at 3:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
DIR. Paul Auterbridge, his physician
said the cause of death was chronic and
acute Bright's disease.
The end was startlingly sudden. An
hour before the senator died his two
sons, Frank and Edward. with their fam.
lies. and his widower son. Harry, with
his daughter, Charlotte. and son, Sher-
man. had left the house, after their usual
Sunday visit. The senator said at that
time he felt very we'll and thought he
would read the Sunday papers.
Thomas Collier Platt, the easy boss
of earlier and brighter days, was for
many years not only the Republican
leader Of his state. but a figure in ma
tional politics. shoulder to shoulder with
men of such rank and reputation as the
late Matthew Stanley Quay, of Penn
s%ylVania. Both were men of exceptional
intellectual attainhents, and both earned
them. with signal success to party or
ganization. Quay died still Il power;
Platt outlived his time and felt himself
in late years ont of youth with the NOV
ing spirit of events.

INTERSTATE ORDERANNULLED
Commission Has No Power to Compel
Connections With Branch Roads.

Washineton.-Twice Monday the SUI
preme court of the United States an
nulled important orders of the interstate
m commission because the COM
mission had exceeded its authority.
One of the orders required the North
ern Pacific Railway Company to join
with competing railroads in establishing
a through route and joint rates from the
East to Puget Sound points, via Port
land, Ore. The other order required the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western rail
road to grant a physical connection with
the Railway Valley Railway Company
at Summit. y. j..
In the Northern Pacific railway case
the court held that this railroad already
able" route from the East to Puget
Sound points, and as long as such a route
was in existence, the commission could
not require the road to join in another.
The court too the position that eli
mate, scenery and a desire to visit along
the routes south of the Northern Pa
cific did not make the ~latter's route
unsatisfactory or unreasonable" and to
hold otherwise would be to give an ar
tificial meaning to the words of the
statute.
The condition in the statute is not to
be trifled with" said Justice Holmes in
announcing the opinion of the court.
In the other decision it was held that
the commission did not have power to
require a railroad, subject to the inter
state commerce commissions order, to
grant a connection with a branch rail
road, upon complaint of the branch rail
road itself. The court refrained from
deciding what was a branch road, one
of the points in the case.

'CHANGE THE VIBRATION
Il Makes for Health.

A mar tried leaving off meat, pota.
toes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup Of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once in a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside food
of low nutritive value and takes up
food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good.
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which it
Is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers.

THE PASSING OF THE OLD AND
THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

This week we bid farewell to the
old year and good morning to the New
Year. Another milestone has been
reached and passed and we enter upon
the New Year with new and better
ideas Of human life and human en-
deavor. 1t is the broad-minded, level
headed men and women who will
achieve success in this new year--one
who is willing to do unto his neigh
Dor as he would that they should do
unto him. While we believe the world
In general is growing better, yet there
are great many dark spots upon this
terrestrial globe. Race prejudice and
negro hatred in America. with selfish
and greed in Europe, with militarism
in Russia and France, with heathen-
ism in parts Of Asia and Africa are
some of the gigantic problems that
this year and century must meet and
begin to solve. The solution may seem
slow and hard, but not 30 II we begin
right. If we only let reason, Justice,
equality and love be our guiding spirit
then prejudice will vanish, right will
be enthroned, Justice will rule and love
prevail. Now let us all strive to bring
about these better things, and at the
end Of this new year we will be nearer
this realization than now.

undue excitement. The death of 1909
was a peaceful and quiet one and came
gently. Many social events were held
and the passing of the line was the
