BY MARY MARSHALL.

BIZ MARY
Two of the most remarkable women
rulers of Europe came into the world
on December IS. The first in point of
time was Christina of Sweden. who
was born in 1926. She was the daugh
ter of Gustavus Adolphus and inherit
ed from him much of his mastery in
tellect. When her father fell at the
battle of Lutzen, although she was
only child of six years at the time,
she was declared ruler of Sweden.
She took the reins of the government
into her hands when she was eight
cen. A great future lay before her
and she had the intellectual powers
to grasp 1t and make the most of 1t.
But to her lively imagination and
keen intellect was not added the
necessary balance of mind and tenn
permanent to make her successful as
a queen. She became more noted for
her eccentricities than she did for her
government. Like Queen Elizabeth,
she resolutely refused to marry.
When she was twenty-eight she vol
UNFAIRLY abdicated the government in
favor of her cousin. Though of a
Protestant family she embraced the
Catholic religion and lived In Rome
a good share of the time.
Her eccentricity and impetuosity
got the better of her and three years
after abdlcation, when she was still
young woman, she murdered her

street cars carried the scent of "many

A remark was recently made by q
very high expert authority of Great
Britain, who Is regarded as master
of the history of European railroads
and of the economic principles upon
which these roads are operated,
whether by the state or by private
capital, which brought to my mind a
conversation I had about twenty
years ago with the late Charles =.
Clarke, for many years vice-pres1-
dent of the New York Central Rail-
road Company, in charge of it's f1nan-
cial department. The English rail-
road authority and expert stated that,
in his opinion, railway managers in
the United States were too timtd, SO
far at least as track construction Is
concerned. In his opinion, the time
is at hand when, instead of double
tracks or four tracks, the. greater
American railroads must lay down six
or even eight and In one or two cases
ten tracks, II they are to be able to
handle the business which within q
few wears will be offered with econ
0ny and, therefore, with reasonable
profit
II never shall forget" said Vice
President Clarke, "a talk which l had
with Commodore Vanderbilt one
afternoon about two years before his
death, In 1876.
1.-THE commodore came into my office
chuckling. That was peculiar man
nerism OF his It was indescribable,
nevertheless 1t was always recognized
by the commodore's subordinates as
mannerism which made 1t clear that
he was feeling particularly good and
especially good with himself.
HE said to me, Charlie, some OF
my friends think am all kinds of a
fool because l have been telling them
that we didn't raise money enough q
few years ago when our line was
double tracked, because If we had
raised the money we needed then to
lay down six tracks between Albany
and Buffalo we could have done il
cheaper than we can now and we
would have run our trains with a
good deal less cost than our four
track lines have made inevitable

think that the investment of the
money needed to put down two adj
ditional sets of tracks between AL

MURDER TriaIn ln HoIIand.

From the Sioux City Tribune
A learned and capable jurist has as
serted that the French method of ie-
gal procedure, which, contrary to our
own, presumes an indicted person
guilty until he is proven innocent.
comes nearer dispensing actual Jus
tice than our own system. But in
Holland the courts have, in some re-
spects, better system than that of
the French. The accused in every
case has the benefit Of the doubt. and
circumstantial evidence as the only
foundation for a plea Of conviction Is
in disfavor.
The Dutch do not have jur1es, and
there is no battle of wits among coun-
sci. All questions, whether by the
prosecution or the attorney for the
through the judge after he has weigh
ed the justice of the Interrogation.
This feature of their system has some
pronounced advantages over our own.
1t eliminates the practise OF confusing
the witness or the accused by mis-
leading questions. It renders impos-
sible the abominable practise in our
courts known as the "browbeating"
of witnesses, which unfortunately Is
permitted to an extent that causes
the intelligent observers blood to boil
at times because of its unfairness
and cruelty. It makes the solemn
business of dispensing justice q COM
mon trade instead of a heavenly voca-
ton.

To give the world fierce thrill concerning words of art7
How could you gather up picture like piece of junk
And stick in your and hide in your trunk?

When you bewldered by the Mona Lisa Smie
We know that smile whose mystic light with subtle meaning
glows
smile of strange significance in its complete repose.
We knew it out at Oyster Bay in days of yoe
We saw 1t in Chicago, and likewise at Baltimore;

If you have no material gifts to be-
stow, give your love and good wishes
to those who have little enough of
love or good cheer to brighten their
lives.
No one is so poor that he can not

power of doubling and quadrupling

tently for a moment or two and then
he said:
"'Charlie. If were twenty years
younger 1 should feel sure that l
should live to see six tracks on the
trunk lines between Chicago and
New York. am too old a man to
see that done. But l make this pre-
diction: The way things are going
out West, the way they are begin
ming to raise wheat and beef and
corn, the way the country is being
opened up there, is going to lead to
tremendous traffic over the trunk
lines. A good deal of their wheat,
their corn and their beef will have
to be sold in Europe. A double-track
railroad cannot accommodate traf-
fic that will be offered. That is tho
reason why / am having six tracks
laid down between Albany and Buff
falo. The day is coming, in my opin-
ion, when the great trunk lines will
have to put down eight or ten tracks

just about as much freight to the

Clarke, that the commodore was
not shooting beyond the mark when
he spoke of eight-track and ten-track
railroads, but / am now perfectly con-
WINGED that the time is not distant
when the great trunk lines will be
hauling their traffic over eight tracks
