A Letter of Importance.

The letter i, the most important
in the alphabet because it leads all others
in perfection 1t Is likewise first in peace
and prosperity and gives 10 pleasure its
proper form. 1t is found in every enter
prise and aspiration, and without lis val
liable Offices our S'duncheSt anchor OF
hope would be but a common place hoe.
1t has no place IN history but it is fore
most in philosophy and gives power to
The pen. While always first in provoCa
ton, 1t likewise leads to pardon and
possesses great power in persuasion.
1t is riCh in the emotions and virtues.
Patriotism, passion, patience, pity and
poetry acknowledge it as their very own.
No point or picture or port was ever
made without it. 1t leads all Others in
power, perminency and preciousness.

A delightful Thacleray anecdote
(Which. so far as one remembers, is

the Colquhom club. The guests in
cluded Philip Newman, who recount.
ed that his wife when girl happened
to so to the same school as the nov
elist's daughters and afterwards kept
up an intimacy with the family.
One day, when she was out for a
walk with Miss Thackeray, the latter
mentioned that her father had started
a new story but was at a loss to de-
eide upon the hero's name. The flu
ture Mrs. Newman, with her fiance
in her thoughts, suggested that his
name, philip" might serve the pur-
pose.
At that moment who should come
up unobserved behind the two girls
but Thackeray himself, Making his
presence known by laying a hand on
shoulder of each of the young peo-
pie, he asked why they were so deep
in conversation. Thereupon Miss
Thackeray. turning around, revealed
the subject under discussion and told
him her friends suggestion as to the
heros name
Admirable" was Thackerays YER

on, what is your own name?" Char

anyone to receive the Southern cross of

Those entitled to receive the crosses

Chess and Checkers.

Even the greatest authority on psy-
chology would hardly venture to say
which of the two games, chess or
checkers, demands the greater mental
effort 1t may be said that both are
very exacting in this respect. The
question should be submitted to a
congress of chess and checker play
ers. The verdict of such body
should be reasonably conclusive. 1t
has been said that the expert chess
player develops some of his faculties
at the expense of others, but in the alb
sence of positive proof he would
doubtless deny the charge.

Beer the National Drink.

1t is the opinion OF many that beer
will become the national drink of this
country, despite the attacks upon it by
the Prohibitionists. Henry Watterson
recently expressed his opinion in the

beverage, saying that the introduction
of beer in America has done more for

BIG SUM FOR ROAD WORK

st. Paul, October 29.-With the ap.
preparation of more than $5,000,000
for construction and improvement
work during the next year, the Oma-
ha road will begin one of the most
active extension periods in the re-
cent history of the system.
In 1911 the construction work OF
the road was comparatively light
Work was continued on the double.
tracking of the main line from Chi
cago and the extension of the Black
River Falls lines was completed Be.
fore the close of next year the Oma-
ha will operate complete double
track from Chicago.
According to report, the recent
trip of the Omaha and Northwestern
officials in South Dakota may mean
the revival and development of the
Huron-C amberlain-Denver line. I'm.
portant changes are contemplated in
the Northwest and a short line in
the Black Hills, formerly the prop
erty of the Hill system, and now
abandoned, is likely 70 be placed in
operation in the spring.
The entire Dakota system of the
Northwestern will receive more at
tention than before. A second crop
season like that of the present year
will force road construction not only
in the western but in other parts
of the state.

and the two-cent,. passenger rates.
Then followed the so-called stock
holders suit in the federal court for
an injunction restraining the railway
officers from putting the legislative
commodity rates into effect, and ask
ing for the cancellation of the mer-
chandise rates and the two-cent pas
senger rates, on the plea that they
were confiscatory. The injunction
was granted by Judge Lochren of
the United States circuit court
against the commodity rates only.
The case was in due time heard by
Judge Otis of st. Paul, who was
appointed as master by Judge San

testimony. This resulted in recon-
mendations adverse to the state.
The case then went to Judge San

upheld the contention of the COM

order requiring the railroad compa-
MES to restore the three-cent passen-
ger rate and the former merchandise

ment of the new commodity rates.

evening after he had learned the
conditions from neighbors. Neigh

colt would follow along the fence
and WINNER. Not long after Mr.
Smith had put the animals in his
barn and fed thief some one called
up and ordered him to put them back
in the pasture. He had not been
able to find out who this was and
does not know whether this person
was the owner or not.

know that the horse will be taken

LARRY GovEN is DEAD
From Tuesdays Daily.

Larry Goven, pioneer among the
railroad engineers of Winona and
known to hundreds of the old-time
employees of the Minnesota and Da-
kato division of the Northwestern
road, died shortly before midnight
last night in Winona following a few
days illness.
Forty years ago, when a young
man OF twenty, he became a fireman
on the northwestern and few years
later became one of the first engi-
neers running freight and passenger
trains between Tracy and Huron, S.
d. At the time he resided in the
latter city.
Some years later he was trans
ferred to the eastern end of the line
and operated an engine between
Tracy and Winona for many years.
Many OF the veterans were fellow
trainmen in the early days and his
acquaintance extends to the western
terminal of the line. He, however,
severed his connection with the rail-
road company over score of years
ago.
Mr.. Goven, who had been in fail
ing health, was taken suddenly worse
last Friday and continued to fail
rapidly until the end last night.
His wife died about year and a
half ago. Since that time he had
been living with his daughter, Mrs.
J. NJ. Czapiewski, 622 East Fourth
street, Winona. Three other chill
dren, Joseph H. and Miss Mae of Wi
mona and George Goven of Faribault.
