GENERAL popeE's STORY.

aThe best piece of railroad work
ever heard Of said General Gren-
vile NJ. Dodge, president of the So
ciety of the Army of the Tennessee.
was performed in 1854 in Maryland.
The Confederates were in great need
of a locomotive, and their only hope
was to capture one. So small band
of men was selected from Lees army
and placed under the command OF
tall Georgian who had been foreman
of a. quarry and knew a good deal
about derricks and rigging.
We'll, the Georgian took mis- men
into Maryland, they tore up . section
Of the B. & o. tracks, tagged the first
train, and. with nothing but rope,
dagged a locomotive 81 miles up hills,
across streams, through woods and
swamps, till they struck line built
BY the confederacy.
When the president of the B. & o.
heard Of this fact he wouldn't believe
IL He went out and personally In
spected the route, and ne said on his
return that 1t vas the most wonder
ful piece of engineering that he'd ever
been accomplished. After thu var he
sent for the tall Georgian and OF the
strength Of that one exploit made him
roadmaster Of the whole B. ( o.
Any man. the president said,
who can pick up q locomotive with
fishing lines and carry it over a
mountain has passed al; civil service
examination with me"

June Weddings.

Monticello Express: The month Of
roses is now half gone. and the har-
vest of weddings has been scant in
this county. Many young fellow
says he cannot afford marriage. He
never will, either, if he keeps up his
expensive habits. Drinks. cigars, aut-
omobile trips and time lost In devel-
oping the experience of real base
ball fan are keeping many young
man out of the class of savers. He
wonders why he does not get on in
the world. Let him ask any man who
has enough for the rainy day without
having had the start of an inheritance,
and he can tell him straight, without
hesitation. A young man cannot eat
his cake today and have frosteu
piece left for tomorroy. Fortunate is
he who learns in his youth the lessons
of thrift, that come only through saw
ing. He can then plan wedding, as
he pleases, when the roses bloom, or
when Jack Frost adorns the window
panes with CRYSTALS of beauty. A girl
had better teach school until she is as
gray as the early dawn. or clerk until
she is withered as russell apple in
the springtime, than to marry one OF
these chaps who has nothing but
stock of chaffy wild oats to show for
his earnings. And the wise ones
know this.

South Dakota, something in the life

cegges of the South Dakota hills, get

supremely happy in the mere life. So

WORKING AND WASTING.

F. N. Hubbell OF Des Moines, ad-
mittedly the richest man in the state
of Iowa. and who made all his money
as a resident of the state, said the
other day, What's the use of working
IL you don't saver
Mr. Hubbell has been fifty-six years
in Des Moines and nobody down there
ever knew OF his taking vacation,
although he has been around the
world and made few educational
campaigns of that kind.
I; may be taken for granted that he
always had his eyes opened and kept
a receptive mind as he iourneyed
along. A reporter wanted to learn the
Hubbell system. He was tersely ad-
vised Mr.. Hubbell is famous for Civ;
ing away the secret of prosperity.
Many men have followed his advice
and profited by it, but most OF the
seed fell on stony ground and did not
produce results.
The wisdom of Poor Richard and
OF all others whose opinion has been
esteemed on this question of acquis-
ftion runs the same way. Be diligent
and save. The author of Poor Rich
ards maxims started in Indulgence in
poor trade for making profit and
yet at forty years of age he was able
TO retire from business with such
fortune as enabled him to spend the
next forty years in the service of the
public, in the pursuit Of knowledge
and in making inventions and discov-
cries that will bless men until the
scroll of time is rolled back as that
OF the temple at Jerusalem.
He never loafed nor wasted. He
knew with the wisdom of Solomon
that so shall thy poverty come as
one that traveleth and thy want as an
armed man.
Most people work because OF the
necessity for eating. 1t never seems
to occur TO them that they wouldn't
have to work so hard or long if they
saved a little of what they earned.
Carnegie says. A young man should
save ST of every S. he earns" II
they all did that, nobody would be so
poor and very few would be excessive
" rich. Then it would be much easier
for all men TO be brothers.
Mr.. Hubbell. lived five years In
Sioux City, from 1857 to 1861, and it
was a great loss to Sioux City when
he removed to Des Moines. That
would be perfectly plain to man OF
experience, if he had never uttered but

working if you don't saver"

Roosevelt, Jews and Catholics.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Colonel
Roosevelt seems to have stirred IN
some people when he declared at the
celebration IN honor of Cardinal Glib.
pons that we shall in the future elect
presidents who are Catholics as we'll
as Presidents who are Protestants
and Presidents who are Jews as we'll
as Presidents who are Gentiles. The
colonel was preaching the doctrine of
no race prejudice. But why should
the former President be criticised py
anyone for such utterances? Are
they not the very essence of the
American government and the spirit
OF the American people? Ali those
who are for smaller policy than the
one outlined by Colonel Roosevelt are
not Americans In spirit, they still
belong TO the old world and past ages
OF bigotry This government was not
founded for any race of people nor
for any religious sect or sects. Meth
er race nor religion should have any
consideration in the minds of fair
men.
But for the time being Colonel
Roosevelt, no doubt, realized as well
as most of us realize the American
people will not be able to rise to such
heights of craftsmanship. The pre-
JUDGES that have been inherited will
linger among the people while long
er. But We are growing in liberality
all the time. Roosevelt and Taft have
been peculiarly liberal in such mat
tiers. Roosevelt is himself one of the
strictest of the Protestants and be-
longs to sect that is ultra orthodox,
but he has been able to see outside
Of his own church. Taft. on the other
hand. belongs to sect that is not so
much concerned. about orthodoxy, and
it has been an easy matter for him to
follow in the footsteps of his predeces-
sor in drawing no distinctions along
racial or religious lines.

Who Owns the Streets.

To the Editor of The Gate City.
Do the concrete gutter contractors,
carpenters, brick masons. and plas-
terers own the streets of the city OF
Keokuk? From the amount of mater
ial promiscously scattered about on
almost all the streets in the city
where work is being done, it would
seem such is the case; and the fact
that there is no attempt to display
danger signals at night where this
material is thrown or scattered, is al
most conclusive that the streets be-
long to the parts named. If such be
true, when and how did they acquire
title thereto?
