WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The big
task of valuing the railroads of the
United States-their 100000 miles of
trackage, their rolling stock. their
stations and all their other property
has actually begun by the sending
out of $50 surveying parties. consist
ing of 1900 men, to make a detailed
railroad map Of the United States.
Judge Charles Z. Prouty, for many
wears a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, is in charge
of the job.
when this Job is DONE said he,
1--WE will be able to tell the physical
facts about every mile Of road. how
much has been made, how much of 1T
IL fill, what kind of material has
been used, what kind Of ballast, the
bridges, culverts, and all physical
facts"
The action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in holding down
railroad rates to reasonable limits
has made railroad properties less at
tractive in the eyes of Wall Street
SPECTATORS, and by the time the
physical valuation is completed there
is no doubt that public sentiment
In which Wall Street will acquiesce
will favor government ownership
of all railroads. This Is the next big
public move.

regard to Representative Oscar w

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Great Shrapshooter Who Was Lost

miles away from the farm upon which
he was born. He was green enough,
and the West Point officer, taking him
in at a glance, made up his mind that
the best place for this young soldier
would be that of a teamster.
However, the officer undertook to
instruct the youngster in the use Of
a revolver. After a few preliminary
lessons he decided to let the young
man show whether he had true
marksman's eye or not. A target was
set up at a convenient distance. 1t
had a bulls eye in the centre and the
customary rings and circles In that
eye. The officers laid two revolvers
on a little stand and he gave the
young man some preliminary instruc-
tions as to sighting the target. Then
he told the boy to go ahead and shoot
and see how we'll he could do 1t. The
boy picked up one revolver, swung his
arm into position, and as quick as
thought fired five shots, The revolver
was the old-fashioned' Colt weapon.
-Four of the five shots struck the bulls
eye.
Before the West Point officer
could say a word the boy picked up
the remaining revolver in his left
hand and fired rapidly, apparently

struck the target, some of them the

''The West Point officer was COM
pletely dumfounded. He didn't know
at first whether the boy had been
fooling him by a pretense of unso-
classification or whether he, was a
natural-born marksman. Upon in
quiry he learned that this boy pos
sessed a natural gift of marksman-
ship and was equally skillful with the
rifle or with the revolver.

In fact Lady Caroline went SO far
as to burn the poets letters and the
miniature portrait he had given her.
She arranged all these souvenirs on
a funeral pile on the grounds of her
estate and had the young farmers
daughters of the neighborhood, clad
in flowing white garments, dance
around 1t. singing some fantastic
song which she had composed for the
occasion.
Although Lord Melbourne never
again attempted to separate from his
fascinating wife, she continued to
exercise the strange power of her
charm on the men who came in con-
tact with her. IT Is said that as sub.
stant'al an Englishman as Lord
Lytton was at one time deeply in
love with her. 1t was impossible for
one who did not come under her IN
fluence to understand tho magic OF
it. She was small and light and pale,
with golden hair and large hazel eyes,
wonderfully beautiful teeth and a
musical voice. Soon after her death,
at the age of forty-two. no less than
five novels appeared. whose leading
characters We're more or less faithful
representations of this unusual
woman.

When she was twenty. she married
Lord Melbourne and a few years later
fell under the influence of the poet
Byron. who was three years her
Junior. She spoke of him In her diary
written at the time as Byron, mad,
bad and dangerous to know" In the
end. however. he probably found her
as dangerous as he had been, for after
they had terminated their friendship
she wrote novel containing very
unflattering caricature of the great
poet. When some friend of his once

lone of the most interesting anec-
dotes associated with the early days
of the Civil War was obtained by
me from General Daniel Tyler said
the late Colonel Joseph II. Selden to
me many wears ago.
Colonel Selden was talking of the
strange, exciting experiences which
came in swift succession when the
first volunteers, under President Lin
coins proclamation, were being en-
listed and mustered in. Colonel Sell
den was later in comand of Con-
neeticut regiment which participated
in severe fighting at Fort Hudson,
and he was, after the close of the
Civil War, chairman of the Republic
can State Committee of Connecticut.
He was also q very intimate personal
and political friend of the famous
war veteran of Connecticut, William
A. Buckingham
General Tyler was a fellow towns
man of Colonel Selden. He was q
graduate of West Point and an emf
nent engineer. At the outbreak of
the Civil War Governor buckingham
commissioned him as colonel OF the
First Connecticut Volunteers. A few
weeks later he was commissioned
brigadier- general and took n con-
splcuous part in the first battle OF
Bull Run.
Il do not know" said Colonel Sell
den. whether General Tyler had
personal knowledge of the incident
which he related to me, or whether he
was told of 1t by the West Point Of
ficer who was sent to Fort TrumbulL
at New London, to assist in training
and mastering in the Federal troops.
This West Point otficer--I have
forgotten his name, but that matters
littie-was especially detailed to In
struct the newly enlisted men who,
instead of enllsting in volunteer serv-
ice, chose the regular army. His duty
was to train them in the use OF small
arms.

Ter said that the War Department at
washington was at that time con-
templatiIig the organization of regi-
ment or two of sharpshooters who
could use the rifle or the revolver

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Two Chicagoans who killed persons
while driving automobiles at high
speed have been denied new trials.
Each of them must serve a sentence
of IA years in the penitentiary for
murder. This is the first time In 1lli
nois or elsewhere, we believe, that a
sentence for murder for Staying with
an automobile has stood the test of
review.
New trials were asked upon the
ground that the men had been con-
victed of having committed murder.

automobile lis not a deadly weapon.
The court. denying new trials, rules
that inlSstands, tumblers, fiatirons and
other articles have been held to be
deadly weapons within the meaning
of the law when put to 1awless use.
An automobile driven by an individ-
ual who lawlessly disregards ordin-
airy caution in the interest of the lives
of others is, the court holds, q much
more deadly weapon than many va
rieties of articles that have served
as such, and for the use Of which
men have been sentenced. for murder
The excellent example set by Chi
cago in these cases should be followed
elsewhere. In Louisville there have
been several plain cases of murder
In which the chauffeur has been let
off with fine. Such failure to exact
the right penalty encourages other
reckless drivers In their reclSlessness.

"a Psalm Of Cife y
fAfter Lonpfellow.l

(After Longfellow.)
Life is not an airy bubble
Floating down the stream of time;
Till some stormy wave of trouble
Oyerwhems the soul sublime.
Life eternal o, believe it,
In its highest, truest sense,
Comes to all who will receive it,
Without cost recompense.
Given for earnest working,
Duty, love and self-control
Never ceasing, never Sinking
Pushing onward to the goa:
Duty that consists in giving
Unto God our very best;
Life will then be found worth living,
And our efforts duly blest.
We can be force uplifting,
Though we have earthly pelf,
Keeping other lives from drifting;
No man veth TO himself.
Guided by the holy spirit
We can overcome all strife,
And if faithful we shall inherit
Our reward, crown of life.
Let us then be upward pressing,
Till at last, the victory won,
We receive the Masters blessing
With the welcome words, well done"
