Chicago, April 2O.--"There never
was time when the Hartman lines
we're in better condition physically or
when they had better prospects," said
j. G. Stubbs, vice president and traffic
director of the Hartman system to-
day. "They are ordering new equip
ment, increasing the train service and
facilities everywhere and give promise
Of continuing the improvements.
Mr.. Stubbs has just returned to Chi
cago from FIVE weeks inspection tour
over the entire system in the United
States and in Mexico.
"Double-tracking on the Union Pa
cifc Is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible, and as soon M the work can be
accomplished the entire line from
Omaha to Ogden will have two tracks.
Roundly speaking, 500 miles Of the
1000 have been finished, and the en-
tire line from Omaha to San Francisco
is now protected by block signals. II

We Don't GROW Enough at Home
and Buy I'm Foreign Lsnds.
Do the people OF this country like
peanuts? Well, II consumption is an
indication Of taste we should unhes
itatingly decide that Americans are
fond OF them. For instance. the fig
ures show that last year we imported
from japan alone very nearly 100000
pounds OF the nuts. We also received
some from Spain. though we have NOT
the figures, and probably some from
other European countries. These fig
ures of foreign receipts, IL must be re
membered are merely given to show
that the demand for the little nuts Ia
greater than the home product can
supply.
In the southern United States pea
nut growing Is recognized industry,
the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser
says. In some OF them II Is an i'm
portant one. and In Virginia and the
Carolinas II is almost dominating
industry. In fact the devotion Of vir'
ginians and Carolinians to the culture
and consumption, by the way-oi
the .palatable and desirable groundpea
is among their distinguishing char
acteristics.
Many Jokes and pert paragraphs are

states, but when we get down to solid
facts we are bound to feel that there's

THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE.

sisterhood." I'VE met her." says the
lady. at . pension In Florence. whore
she was nominally chaperoning her
two nieces. energetic. robust American
girls. who were determinedly and un-
rslentihsiy Sightseeing.
The little old lady had long ago
given up the attempt to keep up with
them. and used to sit all day long In
tha dreary pension parlor. reading
several-weeks'-old papers from homo.
She never went out alone. for the mar
row. crooked streets confused her hope
lessly, and she was In constant terror
OF getting lost.
Several times We persuaded her 10

little old lady. afraid OF troubling pso-
pie. and worried so constantly lest
she might be burden to US that she
was hardly able 10 enjoy the trips. 80
we reluctantly left her TO her own de-
vices. and went TO Fissole for few
days.
when we returned TO Florence the
FIRST person We met at the door Of
the pension was the little old lady.
She had evidently just come In. for
her outdoor things were still on. and
there was q rosy color In her cheeks.
She greeted us warmly; and when I
asked her In great surprise II she had
been out alone. she drew me over 10
corner OF tho hall and answered
happily. while she fumbled something
In her bag:
YES. my dear. every day since you
have been gone have taken q walk
ali by myself Then. taking q huge
piece OF white chalk from her bag. she
held II up triumphantly.
See she whispered. proudly. 7
