Lesson I'm a Shuttle Road

war broke out, that the Confectionery found itself with nothing more than makeshift means of communication at its command. There was not one rail- road in the entire south that was worthy of the name when compared with the railroads of the north, and judged by the standards of today the northern roads of war times were poor, as a whole Yet if there had been a railroad of northern standard running between Richmond and Lynchburg, for example, Lee could have transported his whole army by 1t from Richmond, after evacuation, to Lynchburg, and it would have taken a long time to dislodge him, once he was in Lynchburg He could have made a union there with Joe John ston's army, then in North Carolina he could have given Grant great deal of trouble. But he had no good rail way service at his disposal and he fell at Appomattox. So 1t was else where in the south-the southern con- manders were greatly handicapped by lack of proper railroad facilities; they had to contend with such things as this shuttle railroad in Charleston; and so, I say, this shuttle service fur. nishes one explanation of the fall of the Confectionery"

unbroken line of wild ancestry were extinct.
 It is the general opinion that the domestic horse of today was mainly derived from three wild species, which have been named the steppe, forest and plateau varieties. The Gobi horse is a representative of the steppe variety. This horse in it's wild state lives in the level districts and goes at night to the pasture lands and drinking places. At break of day 1t returns to the desert, where it rests until sunset
 When there are nursing colts in the herd the animals always rest in the same place. They usually walk one behind tho other, so that the region where they live is covered with deep tracks.

Hills High Idea of Ethics

that in accordance with the census; that is to say, in proportion to the population of each state. Senator Hill not only regarded this clause of the income tax as unconstitutional, because the constitution provides that an income tax must be levied accord ing to the census, but, in addition, he felt that were tax of that kind lev fed and collected, the tendency would be seriously to threaten the equality of the states in their representation in their federal senate. Senator Hill therefore prepared a speech which has now gone upon record as one of the ablest of all the speeches deliv- cred in the senate since the time of the Civil war. In this matter he stood almost alone among his Democratic associates, and the senate passed the Wilson bill, much amended, but with the original income tax clause un- changed This was the tariff bill which President Cleveland refused to sign, characterizing it as a bill of perffdy and dishonor.
  was determined to make a speedy test of the constitutionality of the income tax clause, and when those who had united to forward this important ju- dicial proceeding consulted as to who, among the lawyers of the United States, could make the ablest argu- ment before the Supreme court, all nf the nniuinn that IIitl was the man. The senator was there fore approached and asked, practic- ally in these words, whether he would accept retainer to argue the case:
 Senator, we have unanimously agreed that you better than any other lawyer of whom we have knowledge, would make a convincing argument before the Supreme court. We have therefore decided to ask you to &C., cept retainer simply to make that argument, and we are prepared to of fer you retainer of 5000"
 For some moments the senator was silent. He seemed to be considering the proposition from all sides. At last he said:
 'I should greatly like to make the argument before the Supreme court. would be willing to make it with out & retainer; I regard the subject as of vital consequence. But it does not seem to me as though it would square with my view of the ethics of senatorial service if I were to accept your retainer. made my appeal as a senator to my colleagues in the senate. I spoke with earnestness and in all sincerity. A majority of the senate, however, disagreed with me. Now, is I, having been defeated in tt senate, were to make an argume. before the Supreme court upon this issue, it would seem as though, having been defeated in the senate, I at once resorted to the Supreme court. No, do not think that would be justified in accepting this retainer, although say again that l should greatly like to make the argument"
 After this refusal the party sought other counsel, who argued the case before the Supreme court, and won 1t. And when the opinion was read 1t was discovered that it practically adopted the line of argument made by Hill in the federal senate.

"Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
TO the Title Long Before

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John

TO a New York letter, holds that 1t
came to him naturally, for ever as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. 81 think the first
time I was ever called Honest John

said Kelly. "A man engaged a an

might your name be?' John said /,
quite simply. .John,-just like that.
Then hold my horse While l go in

And so held his horse while he went

coming daring. they unhitched the
wagon and took it away. True to my
