DON'T FORGET THE OLD FOLKS
BOY!

No don't forget the old folks boy,
They've not forgotten you.
Though years have passed since you
were home
The old hearts still are true,
And not an evening passes by they
haven't the desire
To see your face once again, and hear
your footsteps higher.
You're young and buoyant and for you
hope beckons with her hands,
And life spreads out a waveless sea
that laps but tropic strands
The world is all before your face, but
. let your memories turn
To where fond hearts still cherish
you, and loving bosoms yearn.
No matter what you duties are MOI
what your place in life
There's never been "a time they'd not
assume your load of strife,
And shrunken shoulders, trembling
hands and forms, racked by disease
Would hravely dare the grave t.
bring to you the, pearls of peace.
So don't forget the old folks boys
they've not forgotten you,
Though years have passed since vol
were home the old hearts still ar,
true,
And write them, now and then, Il
bring the light into their eyes
And make the world glow once agar
and bluer CLEAN the skies.

- There was very real spectre-a
whispering ghost that gave him no
peace. I could not understand its
presence, for he If any man, had
claims upon the little that others had
given to make comfortable the De-
and strength and his sterling middle
age had been given to human service
in a splendid manner which forbade
him to provide for his own material
future. The little that charity gave
could not in a millennium repay the
much that he had given. Yet the
whispering spectre was there-always
at his elbow always,
II do not know why l linger," he
told me. MY usefulness is gone.
There is an sever-recurring thought
that at times amounts to a presence.
1t whispers to me constantly: You're

day l am obsessed by the thought.

young lawyer who had been tempted
after his graduation from the Har-
ward law school to hang out his shin
gle in Detroit.
"At that time there happened to be
in Michigan a young man, only 20
years of age, who was a true pionier
in railroad construction. When he
was only little past q years of
age he had built and was managing
a railroad in New York State running
from Auburn either to Syracuse or
to Rochester, l have forgotten which,
His name was John w. Brook.
Brook and Joy together made
supurb team. Both were under 80
years of age Both seemed to have
real statesmanlike vision of what the
development of the West should be
If there were adequate railroad con-
struction.
Brook and JOY went to the State
authorities to find out whether the
State would sell the railroad. They
didn't have to wait long for an an
swer. The State would be only too
glad to sell the road. That was the
start of these two young men. They
could buy from the State of Michi-
gan IA railroad If they could only find
some one to put up the money.
Brook said to JOY: IF you look
after the legal end of it ! will go to
Boston. They have plenty of money
in Boston and / will see if | can't find
someone who will provide the money
that is necessary
but when Brook got to Boston he
did not know where to turn. By the
merest chance someone said to him
that a man named John M. Forbes,
who was in the china trade, was in
tensely interested in the development
sells. Perhaps this man might be
willing to listen to n proposition for
the utilization of the steam locomo-
tive upon the prairies of the West.
Brook thereupon called upon John M.
Forbes and within five minutes he
had Mr.. Forbes intensely interested.
He did find the money. The road
was bought from the State of Michi-
gan. SO the beginning of one of the
greatest railroad systems of the West
was due to this extraordinary combi-
nation of circumstances. John

road in New York; young JOY, who

ment of the West. and Boston CAPT

So said the late Charles Finney
telling me of some of his early ex-
periences in Michigan in connection
with a railroad which 1t was planned
would run from point near Buffalo,
through Southern Canada to Detroit,
and thence westerly by way of To-
ledo to the Mississippi River.
MY brother, jacob ID. Cox Mr..
Cox continued, after his service as
Governor Of Ohio and as secretary
of the interior In the cabinet of Pres
ident Grant, contemplated devotlng
himself to the practice of the law in
Ohio. But he was unexpectedly called
upon to take a leading executive po-
sition with railroad company which
had in view a line from both Toledo
and Detroit across Indiana to Illinois
to the Mississippi River My brother
thought that by merging a railroad
which was under construction in Can
ada, near the coast line of Lake Erie,
there could be established new
trunk line connecting the East with
the Mississippi valley.
my brother took me from the
banking house in which l had just
begun my career into the offices of
this railroad company. There l.
heard many anecdotes and traditions
which seemed to me of eXtraordl-
nary interest because they told so
dramatically the story of the begin
ming of the great railroad develop
ment throughout the West.
Il reember one day hearing the
story Of the origin of the Michigan
Central railroad, at least as a cor
poration. | was told that the State
OF Michigan first undertook to build
and operate a railroad stretching
from Detroit across the lower PENN
sula of Michigan to a point upon
Lake Michigan. ! think that was the
first and, in fact, about the only at
tempt in the United States to con-
struct and operate railroad as an
exclusively State institution Inc
State built the road about a. hum
bred and fifty miles west of Detroit,
and then tried to operate 1t, but 1t
was practical failure.
There happened along just at that
time two men whose names | think
should pass into history for the part
they took in establishing what be-
came the great Michigan Central rail-
road.
"One of these men was James Il.
