RUSHED TOWARD THE BIG ROUNDHOCSE
he entered his fathers private Office.
The elder Sherlock greeted his son
with pleasant Good morning.
Dad" Henry stammered, Il want
to talk things over with you"
Whats wrong now?"
Everything"
"And in particular"
SARAH won't marry me until l do
something"
And you intend''-
"TO throw up the vice presidency,
start in at the bottom and work up"
every well. When do you wish to
begin?'
Tomorrow"
Cali right. I'll see to the job"
That night his father said quietly
Report to the dispatcher at Erie,
o. Leave here at 2:3O a. m. It's for
tunate for you that telegraphy was one
of your youthful whims. Just as soon
as you learn the job you will be given
responsible BERTH"
"Good night" said Henry and turned
in.
And the next morning found him on
his way from New York to Erie with
out having seen Sarah. Happy in the
thought that he was to prove himself,
he spent most Of his trip composing a
letter to her telling all and explaining
his departure without seeing her.
The next afternoon he reached Erie
tired and sleepy. From supper he
went directly to bed in the home of
one of the dispatchers, where he had
secured room and board, and at the
next morning he began work.
He soon found that train dispatching
was not easy. During the first weeks
Of his work he was assisted and
watched by the dispatcher whose place
he was to take. Then began the night
shift. AS far as population was con-
cerned, Erie was hardly on the map,
but as a/railroad point it was most i'm
portant 1t was a division point Of
consequence, as several branches of
the main line converged there.
Henry was given complete charge Of
branch which boosted but four
trains. so it was easy for him to take
care of the wire and the train sheets.
How could he keep awake? The sta
ton with its coy fire was almost
hOmelike except for the feeling of
loneliness.
He worked on, continually cheered
by his letters from home and Sarah
and by his own satisfaction at doing
something well. And the first pay
day-cOuld the bank hold his first four
weeks wages, his $50? Then he was
given really important desk.
But soon he began to be discouraged.
Nothing happened. There seemed to
be no way to prove himself. And
then the test came
In the middle of February came
probably the meanest and most severe
storm ever known to that region. The
rain, chilled by the lower air and fall
ing on the colder objects below, froze
and formed one continuous ice sheet
enveloping everything below. Down

Statistics show that our exports
to China have declined from fiftv-
eight millions five years ago to fif-
teen and one-haif millions ia 1910.
The Chinaman is frequently referred
to as an origimatical creature. but
those who have studied him in his
own habitat realize that there is a
great deal of human nature in him
and has abundant, shrewd COM
mon sense. The Chinaman is not
a first class fighting man, but he is
not unresentful of wrong. He has
been out-rageousiy treated in this
country and especially on the Paci-
fic coast and organized into unions
as a European army is into regi--
ments, the boycott American wares.
1t is nothing to the average China
man or to the Chinaman much above
the average, that this country re-
mi5ted some millions of the Boxer
indemnity. That was state affair
and the average Chiraman knows
nothing of state affairs, and there
is nc word in the Chinese language
for patriotism because the idea is
totally non existent in the Celes-
tial Kingdom.

In OUR opinion Superinten-
dent of Fisheries Nevins is right
when he recommends the pass
age of a law by the present legis-
lature that would license resi-
dent fishermen the same as
hunters. In this way revenue
would be derived that
would help to def"ay
the expense the state i
put to in the propagation and
distribution of fish and for tie
enforcing OF the fish and game
laws. We have never been able
to see just why the fishermen
should not be licensed the same
as the hunter. and it has always
seemed rather unjust to us to
make the hunters pay all Of the
expense. We believe that the
one license should be good for
fishing and hunting during the
open season but that all should
be made to have them if they
wish to engage in the sport,
whether it be fishing or hunting,
or both. The enforcing of the
game laws against fishermen
takes a good deal of the time of
fish and game department and
WHY fishermen should not be
made to stand a portion Of the
expense has been something of
a mystery to good many of US.

The Weed Tax.

Did you ever stop to think of the tax
you are paying to keep up the weed
crop? says Alvin Keyser Of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural college. If the state
should levy a tax on your crops equal
to 25 per cent of the value you would
rebel in righteous indignation. wouldn't
you? Yet a good many of us permit
a stand of 25 per cent of weeds to oc-
cupy our fields and think we are doing
pretty good farming too.

TWO sW|NDL[Rs
IN THE TOLLS

New York, Oct. 11.-An ambitious
plan to harness the sun and turn the
wheels of the worlds industries by
solar power came to naught here
when Elmer e. Burlingame and
George II. Cove, promoters of the sun
Electric Generator Company, were
hailed into court to answer to the
charge of using the mails to defraud.
Postoffice inspectors say that BurE
ingame and Cove sold more than ST.
600 900 of the stock during the eight
cen months in which it was exploited.
Burlingame has engineered many
stock-selling schemes, including the
Radio Telephone Company, the Uni
versal Wireless Corporation and varl-
GUS other radio" and wireless" con-
Germs. in which he is alleged to have
got rid of $5,OOO,OO0 of stock. He be-
gan his career in New York about ten
wears ago. Offering the stock OF the
Rocky Mountain Tunnel Company and
the Gold Dredging Company. He was
modest in those days and proposed
only to dig tunnel through the
Rockies and discover several gold
mines while doing it. Next came the
radio" companies. About two years
ago he took up Cove's scheme. Cove
is alleged to be the inventor OF the
"sun generator" which looked much
like an incubator. One of the ma
chimes was set up on the ROOF OF the
Maiden Lane building, where the com
pany had its offices and proved very
convincing to prospective investors
until pesky newspaper reporue'
came along and discovered that the
generator" was connected by care
fully concealed wires with the stree'
circuit of an electric plant. Whatever
electricity came out of the generator
came, not from the heat OF the sun
hit from the conduits of the Edison

An inventory Of the stock in the
Washington navy yards shows a
shortage of over three and quarter
millions less than the book records OF
the stock. No inventory had been
taken for twenty-five years, and 1t
wouldn't have been done now If our
own congressman, Hon. Rufus Hardy,
hadn't introduced an investigation
resolution which caused the secretary
of the navy to order the inventory to
be taken. II is evident that either
there is something rotten in the Wash
ington navy yard or the methods OF
bookkeeping need to be changed. II

He ripped up the lines of the big

that prohibition is the issue between
them, and excepting a few who are
influenced by personal reasons those
who vote for either will do so mainly
because of his position on statewide
prohibition. Those who are tired OF
the prohibition agitation will vote for
either Sheppard or Randell.
