meet his gaze. Around about through
the partly opened window, the only
sounds were the dismal howlings OF
the coyotes and the swishing of the

No more will the romantic writer
picture such scenes, for, with the
continued and steady introduction
of the telephone on railroad systems
for handling and controlling the move
ments of trains, such conditions will
be things of the past within very
short time. So does the halo of TO
nance, with which the night teIe-
graph-operator of the plains and the
wilderness has been surrounded, fade
away before the remorseless advance
of the bright and more efficient light
of modernism.
The new order of things makes it
perfectly feasible to do away with
the night operator at the isolated
stations. A Western Electric Com

TEN, to which he had sold telephone
train dispatching equipment, had done
just this thing and that each pas,
senger and freight conductor has been
furnished with a so-colled master
key for the stations along the line
to enable him to enter, lift the tele-
phone receiver from the hook, put
himself in instant communication with
the train-dispatcher at headquarters,
receive his orders verbally and go
on his way.

hand in and, contrary to Hoyle,
beats the little joker with her five"
Then with his diamonds he wins

playing a lone hand" he expresses
a desire to assist his fair part

clergyman takes a ten dollar dill out
Of him on pair" She orders him
up" to build the fires. Like a
''knave" he joins the Clubs" where
he often gets high" which is low,
too If he keeps straight" ofttimes

sees a deal of trouble, when at
last he "shuffIes" off his mortal coil

is raked in by a spade" LIES fit
full "game" is ended, and he waits

A SHOE MANU-.
FACTURER'S TRUST

An effort is being made to form
$50 100000 trust to handle the man
ufacture and distribution of shoes
Will it make Roadway against the in
tense competition that has always
prevailed among shoe-makers?
While there are many giant fac
tories that turn out their tens of thou
sand pairs of shoes per day, the
country is dotted with little old fash
Toned concerns, where employer and
employee both don aprons in the old
time way, and call each other by their
first names.
One reason for this persistence
of the small individual shoe factory
in a day of consolidation and great
plants in other lines, has been the
difficulty of standardizing shoe-mak-
ing. The grades between good and
poor leather are as infinite as the
difference in the skins on the backs
Of COWS.
concerns has tried to gain any wide
control over a certain line of
shoes, the small competitor was al
ways laying for them. Sometimes
he would slip in inferior grades of
leather which the consumer never
detected, and even the retail deal
er might not be able to tell the diff
ference. A small amount of black
ink will cover more defects of ma
teriaI in leather manufacture than
anywhere else.
More often however, the small man
ufacturer, who is usually honest,
held his own because he lived the
simple life in some country town,
and was content with a small pro-
fit. He worked evenings when the
superintendent of the big city plant
were out running automobiles. See
ing every piece of leather that went
into his goods, watching daily every
piece of leather that went into his
goods, watching daily the motions
of each employee, he established d
place for himself that the "big fell
low" could never touch.
II big trust is to control shoe
making, it will have to gain its grip
by economies in production, and by
getting rid of the expensive serv-
ice of the middleman. The little
fellow will still keep on doing bu-
siness in his little shop, content with
small returns, ready to make him
self felt whenever the trust fails to
give the public good service for the
money.

the world has gone to the opposite
extreme. It takes a $1,000 automo-
bile instead of a five cent palm leaf
fan to get cooled off with now.
Actually a church, shut up dur
ing the week, is about as comfortable
place as you can find on a hot
Sunday morning But the major,S
OF people seem to prefer the dust and
glare of the automobile crowded road
From these and other causes, the
summer congregation is thin. The
choir, exhausted by the labor of
singing praises unto God, has bTol1
en- up for two months vacation. The
chorister endeavors to rally the con-
gregational singing about some fam
liar hymns. But even if the room

could not make it sound like any
thing, with the people sprinkled all
over the auditorium.
Much of this non attendance is mer
~ contagious. There is dreari-
ness about echoing walls that keeps
people at home. If they NEW their
nelghbors We're going, they would go
to.
With so many people out Of town,
the duplication of too many church
services seems particularly futile.
Better church full of singing and
responsive attendants, their ears fol
lowing every phrase of the preacher,
than half a dozen scattered hosts,
depressed by their own meagerness.
Why not more union church SER

WISCONSIN To
HAVE FIhEST ZAP
ITALOF ANY STATE
Building Declared to be the
Most Beautiful OF Its Kind,
to Cost Only $4,000, 10000
When Completed.

MADISON, Wis.-The new Sc, 0OO,-
600 capitol building of Wisconsin will
be the handsomest structure of its
kind in the United States. according
to Lew F. Porter, secretary of the
capitol commission and supervising
architect With the exception of
the Wisconsin capitol the most pre-
tentious structures are those of New
York, which cost about $4,000 900,
and Of Pennsylvania, which cost S.
100000. Neither in size, design nor
architectural beauty will either of
the two eastern buildings excel that
Of Wisconsin. The cubic capacity
of the state capitol will be equal to
that of the New York building and
will exceed that of the Pennsylvania
structure.
The great dome of the new build
ing rises 800 feet and four great
wings, five stories high, extend at
the points of the compass. The ex-
treme length OF the building from
east to west and from north to south
will be 426 feet. The ground area
covered is about 100, 900 square feet,
of which the dome includes 10000.
The capacity of the entire building
exclusive of approaches, terraces and
areas will be 100000 cubic feet.
Vermont white granite, quarried at
Woodbury., VT, the hardest granite
in the country, is used for the ex-
terror walls. Vari-colored granite,
marble and stone are used in the in
terror.
The building has been under con-
struction for seven years and it is
reasonably certain that it will be fl
nished by July l, 1916. T wo wings,
the east and west, have been COM
pleted. The south wing will probably
be finished this year. The steel
frame of the dome is erected and
will be enclosed before 1913. The
north wing of the old capitol, the
only part of the building still stand
ing, will be torn down next year and
the foundation for the new wing laid.
The new wing will be built in 1914
and 1915.
Contracts for all the work except
the interior finishing of the north
wing have been let, carrying more
than SIS ,000,0 The actual amount
so far spent on the building and heat
ing plant, the latter a separate stru-
cture half a mile from the capitol, is
So, 673, 413.15. The commission is
authorized to spend 100000 a year
and the Legislature has made provi-
sion by taxation and direct appro-
priation for s6,100,0O0 for the entire
construction. The heating plant, E.
quipment and tunnel work entailed
a cost of $5OO,O A large warehouse
is yet to be built in connection with
the plant, costing 100000.
The inter or and exterior decora-
tive work will represent the best
work of living sculptors, and will
cost a small fortune. The painting
in the Assembly and State chambers
will be by world famous artists, and
will cost $4,000. The paintings in
the Governors reception chamber
which are a reproduction of the re
ceptiol room of the ducal palace in
Venice, were made by John Balm,
who received s25, 900 for the work.
Frank D. Millet, a Titanic victim,
was under contract to produce the
paintings for the supreme court cham
Der for s25 900.

BIG GRlDIRoN
GAMES IN THE WEST

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Tomorrow will
mark the real opening of the inter
collegiate football season in the west.
During the past two weeks some of
the elevens have engaged in minor
contests, but the most of the big
teams will have their first real tests
tomorrow. Much interest centers in
the game between the University of
Chicago and Indiana University here
tomorrow. Chicago is expected to
be strong contender this season
for the championship honors of the
big Nine" Michigan will take on
the Case school at Ann Arbor to-
morrow and Minnesota will line up
against Iowa State College at Min
neapolis. Also of interest to follow
ers of the game will be the contests
between Wisconsin and Lawrence at
Madison, Illinois and Illinois Wes-
leyan at Urbana and Purdue and De-
Pauw at Lafayette. Wabash Col
lege and the State Universities Of
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Ohio
have minor contests scheduled.
