Clever Idea Of Collector.

Here is a rare specimen OF business
humor, received the other day by a
London firm. It ran;
Our cashier fell unconscious at his
desk this morning. Up to this time,
4 p. M. we have been unable to
get a word out of him except your
names. May we say to him, with a
view to his immediate recovery, that

FOUND GERMAN MOTTO
 ID BE SLOW AND SAFE

BERLIN. April 19.-John B. Thay- CT, vice-president cf the Pennsylvania railroad, and his son. J. B. Thayer. Jr., are making a flying trip through Europe. while Mrs. Thayer and the younger children are staying in Lau. same. Mir. Thayer says he finds that America has very little to learn from German railroad methods. be- cause conditions in the two coun- tries are so vastly different. The people will stand for things here that would not be tolerated in Amer ica.
 German railroads are undoubtedly much safer. but this accomplished at the expense of time. Some of the German special expresses make good time, but the average is very slow The very small German cars. while fitted for the service here. could never handle the amount of freight for long hauls that obtains Cn the Pennsylvania system.
 Mir Thayer was greatly surprised to find an elaborate system of pref erential rates in force here that would land any American manager in jail.

THE COACH OF PROGRESS.

Men who always oppose prOgre ssiye measures pride themselves on being a most valuable factor in human progress. If it were not for them they say, the radicals would run away with things and there w-uld be a general smashup
 This sounds like a plausible areu- ment until man has had some experience with men and affairs Then he begins 10 wonder whether after all the active conservative is an advantage in human society.
 Human nature is not given to talk ing the bit in it's teeth and running away. We are by temperament wonderfully conservative The aver age person is apt to get into a rut and to resent any effort to get him out. We put up with all manner of abuses simply because we are used 10 them.
 Suppose man from Mars were to alight in England. for instance; in England, because the unfamiliar con- ditions there are more justly apprais- ed by Americans. He would find a few hundred families putting on great airs, and having all sorts of privileges merely through the accident of birth. He would find representatives of these families assembling periodical ly in sumptuous structure Cn the Thames and passing on legislation
 If he were curious he would in quire just why this anomaly should be permitted. Nobody has elected these men to represent them in law making" he would say. 50 why should they assume to come together for that purpose"
 Why, because they and their an cestors have done so for good many hundred years" his guide would reply.
 And I hear that there is a gentle man who is called the king" the wis itor might continue. Why should this gentleman be put up on 9 throne, and why should the rest of you ackne wledge yourselves his sub jects, and why should you support him in luxury?"
 Well, we always have. The mon archy is necessary. you know" would be the answer
 But the truth is that society is full of outworn institutions that ex, ist merely because people are used to them, and therefore aren't shock, ed by them.
 Progress has always come slowly and at infinite cost Consider the process with any single idea for social betterment How many years it takes to get the idea before any

sRLGANOAGE VS. BUSINESS.


 The great financial powers of the country solemnly assure us that the present agitation" against vast or. ganizations Of capital is an assault n business" which. if persisted in. will bring panics and disaster. This is n threat based upon a lie The so-called agitation" is not against any honest and substantial interest. but agains, the eRlGANDAGE tha. poses as BUSINESS. Until this agitation" achieves it's desired ends until the trusts and huge combin- ations in restraint of trade are brought under he law there can be no real prosperity. no state of business health.
 The New York World. in a recent editorial, said: The financial de bauch which beset the country from tie election of 1896 has had no parallel iH modem times. That election was a victory for sound money. as the people finders ood it. II was the ex- ocution of a bill of the unry's sale 10 High Finance, as Mir Hanna and is foll Wers understood and gave notice. What price was paid will never be known. but the enormity of the cash sum has never been ques. toned"
 The first evidence of Money own ership wa the elevation of Mark Hanna 70 the senate. Poor old John sherman was made to resign his seat and take a place in the Mckinley cabinet. and Hanna. com mander-in-chief f Big Business, took possession of the vacant cnair. Un- der his direction the tariff was re- yise1 upward with vengeance. and lhe formation of trusts became steady. regular, daily business. Con- petition was taken by the throat and choked 10 death trade was not only restrained, but roped. thrown and hog-tied
 Mir. RO seyelr aroused the public conscience. and first called atten- gion 10 the difference between busi ness and brigandage. Yet in 1904
 hc infamous bargain of 1896 was ratified and secured by additional l payments. My dear Hartman" raised $260,00O for the Republican campaign fund - the life insurance companies stole sl50,000 from their i policy holders for the same purpose Standard Oil gave s100ooO, Prick and Tw mbly s1oOOOo. and all other ! trusts and high financiers equally i generous sums. Even during Mr 1 Roosevelt's administration. and often under his very eyes and with his con 1 sent, the Money Lords cinched their control and frightened their grip OF the popular throat.
 As it is in the nation. so is f in the states and the cities. Brig1ndage. masquerading as business. has reared ! it's rotten superstructure on thc 1undaions of honest enterprise Now, when we demand that this rot | ten superstructure be raZed. the cry goes up from the brigands that we are striking at the FOUNDATION.

 The man who had broken the window slipped away with a deiect- cd air. Shortly afterward the wine shop keeper sent to the bank to change the 800 franc note. The note was bogus.

The strength Of the bridge depends
upon the Kind Of timber used, the dl.

used, andsits location, and also very
largely upon the span Of the bridge.
For example, assuming n loaded wagon
carrying 500 pounds per wheel, a yei;
low pine board one finch thick and eight
inchesyw wide would require stringers to
SUPPORT itabout every thirteen Inches
apart to carry the load safely. while n
plank of the same width and two
inches thick would require stringeys
three feet apart, and three inch plank
would require stringeFs about every
four feet apart, These figures are based
upon the assumption that yellow pine.
Douglas Or or good quality Of oak
