that the company will place in every
train an apparatus that will autOmat-
ically supply travellers with individual
paper cups.
This order will apply over all lines
of the road, north, west and south. In
addition to eliminating the cups on
trains, they will be taken out of sta
lions. Speaking of the action Passen-
ger Traffic Manager Eustis said:
For some time Wisconsin has had
the ban on the so-called public drink
ing cup, it being customary on trains
running through the state Of Wiscon-
sin to have porters to remove the cups
at the northern and southern boundary
of the state and replace them after the
train had traversed the other bound
airy line. The new law will go into ef-
feet in Illinois on July /. Kansas has
adopted similar statute. The Bur
Iington system, seeing the wisdom of
such a measure, has determined not
only to comply with the law with refer
ence to these states, but to extend the
rule everywhere on the system. The
individual drinking cup with the proper
safeguards will be installed in all Bur
lington stations as we'll"

II doesn't make any difference how
a man or woman spends the vacs-
ton Just so he or she spends it in the
way that they like best. Out on the
seashore wading in the surf or lying

breathing the fresh, pure air or tie
fragrance of the pine or FIR; out On
the ocean with the salt breezes "a
their faces, the workers of the earth
are taking their ease.
Each one to his taste" as The
French proverb says. Just so each
one finds In his vacation that thing
which he sought, and that is rest and
recreation. Natures tonics of forest
and meadow, or mountain and sea, are

The Agricultural Condition.

According to Henry Clews, the New
York ffnancier, the uncertain move
ment in the market for stock exchange
securities this week have been more or
less seasonable. That is to say, we
have at last definitely reached the
stage where our crops are at the crit
ical point; and the future of the mar
ket, If, as in the past, it is to be deter
mined by the volume and quality of
our farm products, is distinctly at is
sue. Therefore, a disposition has de-
veloped among market operators who
have accumulated profits to secure
them and avoid further immediate risk
1t is worth while for operators to
take a calm view of the agricultural
conditions that now prevail In the first
place, winter wheat has been fully har
vested and in quality and quantity is
very close to a bumper harvest, if it
does not, in fact. reach that distinc-
ton. Spring wheat and corn have
reached their sensitive point of growth,
and protracted drouth has already
done some potential damage, which
may readily become permanent in the
event of necessary rains being much
longer delayed. There is a lack of re-
serve moisture in the spring wheat
states, and from South Dakota the best
advices indicate that some degree of
irreparable damage has already been
done, possibly reaching 40 per cent of
that states normal yield Indications
are also present of undesirable condi
tons on the border line of North Da-
kota, and also in southwestern Mime
sofa. But in North Dakota, as a whole.
and also Minnesota as a whole, the
conditions are still in a broad sense
ideal, and there remains sufficient lee
way for further depression in spring
wheat territory as a whole without
bringing the prospects down TO the
level of last years harvest. In corn,
which, of course, is the most impor-
tant of all of our crops from the stock
market viewpoint. the damage thus far
is prospective rather than actual
Both corn and spring wheat are par
ticularly early this year-a factor of
much Importance, since it means less
danger from frosts at the tail end of
the season Hay and oats are not up
to the average, which will mean a
greater demand for corn as a substi-
tute for these items as feed

Somehow It doesn't seem just the

But Clarke was speechless with
amazement, his hand holding the
cooked pistol resting on the edge of
the table and quite carelessly pointing
the weapon at the huge Chinese pOrce-
lain vase that stood at one end of the
mantel.
The drifting dust seemed to thicken
and form a cloud which obscured the
picture for a moment. Then it thinned
again, and out OF the frame there
stepped Uncle Philemon's Uncle Phile-
mon, Respondent in velvet coat and
lace and bewigged and powdered and
patched. He stepped easily to the
broad shelf and paced down its length
toward the Chinese vase, his head
towering upward, his hands clasped
behind his bent back. Seen through
the mist, it appeared that the portrait
of Evans uncle was still in the frame,
and yet he paced the broad mantel.

The form on the mantel shelf seemed

hung rigidly as before. The dust dis

The room was the same, save that
the great Chinese vase which had
stood on the mantel shelf even before
the day when Uncle Philemon's Un-
Gle Philemon had lived in the old
brick mansion was shattered by the
straying bullet from Clarke's careless
weapon.
When they gathered their wits to-
gether and convinced themselves that
they were not dreaming-that they
had simply talked themselves into see
ing ghostly visions and after the re-
freshment tray had helped to restore
their courage-they gathered up the
broken porcelain vase and found with
