MANS HEAD IS PIGEONHOLED

""1~ y 1AE|AO 10 HA1EOA~1AN>LA>D'
"A mans head is dome of pigeon
holes" said George Edgar Vincent,
dean of the faculties at the University
Of Chicago and president-elect of the
University of Minnesota, recently
while speaking to an organization Of
business men. Each idea is put away
in a separate pigeon hole. Some
heads contain many pigeon holes;
others contain only few.
while mans head is a battlement
of pigeon holes" Doctor Vincent con.
tinued, "life is many things. 1t is a
stage upon which each individual is
cast for part; it is a highway along
which individuals travel, some afoot,
others whisking by in limousines and
touring cars, leaving behind them an
odor of sanctity and gasoline. Life is
also q battle and it is q school, often
called the university of hard knocks.
And it is q game in which We all are
players. Some are sports; others are
sportsmen. A sport plays for himself;
a sportsman plays for his team.
Sports complain of bad umpiriDg in
the game of life; the sportsmen never
complain. With them it all comes
with the game-"-From the Chicago

HIGH COST OF EXPRESSAGE.

HIGH COST OF EXPRESSACE.
There are two ways that the express
business of this country could be con.
Quoted to the great saving of money to
the people. Either plan would elimin.
ate the express companies As burden.
some superAuities.
In view of the enormous profits Of
the express companies, as brought to
light by various means, more especially
recent investigations by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, it would be
possible for the railroads to handle all
the express business themselves, make
larger profits than they now make out
of the returns made to them by the
express companies, pay higher wages
and yet make much lower rates. For,
bear in mind, the profits of the express
companies, in many instances. are so
high as to constitute a scandal, con.
sidering that these companies are en-
gagged in a public service.
But it is not certain that the rail.
roads are gettingless than theydeserve.
They may be getting more than fair
return for their service to the express
companies, even if they do not get n
fair division of the profits. So, sup
pose that the government we're to take
over the express business, either as
separate thing or as part Of the pos
tai service, in the nature of the pro-
posed parcels post, and suppose that
the government should operate this
business as it does the postal service
at no more than cost-then the rail-
roads would be paid fair return for
the carrying and the people would
save, in reductions in rates, all the
enormous profits that are now made by
the express companies.
On this plan the railroads would be
adequately paid and the people would
gain much in lower rates. The only
losers would he the men-mostly
favored railroad officials-who now
compose the stockholders of the en-
press companies. These stockholders
certainly deserve no especial consider
alton. They have abused a privilege
They have used and abused the public.
They have taken over the most pro-
ductive department Of transportation
and made the public pay grossly ex-
cessive rates to them. And it must
always be remembered that the rail
roads have no charter authority for
thus farming out a part Of their bust
ness. They are chartered to do all the
carryin.-kansas City Star.

VIEW FROM BALLOON BASKET.

We could hear the patter of the
hoofs Of horses apparently chasing
after US across pasture fields, instead
of running from us. Chickens and
pigs, however, exhibited their usual
panic with noisy sounds and frantic
rushing in all directions to escape the
great hawk which, no doubt, they
thought was going to get them. At
midnight We were over McDonough
county, Illinois; at l o'clock. Warren
county, and crossed the river near q
small canal. Ats o'clock, when over
Whiteside c"unty, some people rushed
out of a house and exclaimed: "FOr
the lands sake. Look at the balloon
right over our heads" We called out

and birds began t" sing. IIawley was

g"." came up from below rs We sped
over Stephenson county, near Rilot.
We were pulling around more to the
east and slightly higher, being at an
elevation of from 700 to 500 feet. The
sun came to us at Gil while We were
crossing the state line into Wisconsin
below Newark, Rock county. We
saw GAINESVILLE, and at 7:40 were near
Whitewater, where We learned that
another balloon had passed an hour
before. With the heat of the sun We
rose rapidly to 200 and 5000 feet,
and were going east and a little toward
northeast. We had used only three
sacks of ballast and were in fine shape.
At 3 o'clock We were over Waukesha,
the smoke on the ground drifting
northeast, as was the case with us. At
$40 Lake Michigan came into sight,
and at 1910 Of the morning of October
Is We passed out over the lake at an
altitude of $500 feet. For some rea.
son the balloon began to descend; per.
haps the gas condensed over the water.
In twenty minutes our drag rope,
which We cast over for the first time,
touched water. We were going at a
good speed of at least twenty miles an
hour. The drag rope danced along,
keeping the balloon in perfect equilib-
rum. This made US think Of Walter
Wellman. who. We knew, had started
to cross the ocean, and We wondered
what his fortune was at that moment.
Milwaukee was just to the south of
us. but we could not see it on account
of . haze. Our direction changed to
due north and a strong drift toward
the land cut short our delightful ex-
perience, the first for both Mr.. Hawley
and me, of guideroping over the water.
At the shore We had to throw out bal.
last to lift the balloon and guiderope
over the high bank of the lake. We
came ashore at Grafton. Ozaukee
county, south of Port Washington, and
shortly rose to 2, 800, and then to $500
feet, on account of the loss of ballast.
We got the east drift again and went !
