Cheer Up"

We don't think that "grouchy duffer"
A mistaken rival cites;
VIII repent or that he'll suffer
Till remorse puts out his lights.
For his hearts not "void of gladness"
And his soul is full of song
The one thought that brings him sadness
Is-his rival has him wrong.
Never once has he knocked Tracy
boosting is his one best bet
If knocking means to knock the knocker
He'll be sound a knocking yet.
He don't think that life is waning,
Or that "Tracy's on the brink"
OF destruction-and his rival
Needs to take another think.
He just wants that Tracy City
Will get busy-everyone
Who cares a hang for it will see
That there's work witch must be done.
He don't need ga family doctor"
For he has no dangerous ills
If hisrlval needs such dope, why
Let him swallow all the pills.
IT'S his rival has dyspepsia
Of that fact there's little doubt
Or he wouldn't get such notions
Bout hammer that's not out.
If he had the time and money
To boost Tracy as he'd like
That "same duffer" he would stay here
And spend both he would-sure Mike 1!
Your welcome,

More Horse Sense.

Horses never thrive unless pet
ted, says the New York American
All horse gets is board and
blanket-and very often the
blanket is an imaginary one.
Any man who loves his horse
will think of the horse before he
thinks of himself.
Recently | have discovered
that driving horse with a bitless
bridle-simply band over his
nose-is a deal better than the
cold steel in his mouth.
| would not use a checkrein,
either, on the average driving
for work horse, any more than |
would use a cbeckresn on a sad
die horse.
A good rider will always give
horse lots of head, and drive
with light rein. You then
guide him by pressing on his
neck and by swaying the body.
| have noticed that the men
who train seals always pay the
seal, immediately he does the
right trick, by throwing him q
piece of fish.
Whenever you get in from a
ride you should always give YOUR
horse lump of sugar, sweet ap.
pie or a carrot This means that
you are grateful to him and puts
him in an attitude of mind where
he is glad to see YOU next day.
| have noticed that Ed Geers
always has pocketful of sugar,
and when he goes visiting up and
down the sawdust he hands out
the sugar to his friends.
That's the way you talk to a
horse-bv giving him something.
Ii you love horse and look af-
ter him in friendly way the
chances are that he will never
get sick, Horses that get dis
eased and die young are all horses
that have had their spirit broken
by overwork and i'll usage, and
the general cussedness of the
driver.
Ii you are going to get the best
out of a horse or out of a man
you will have to give him a lot of
jolly anf a little play spell every
day. jG
Hora 40 not die of overwork.
They dl of the wrong kind of
work and ingratitude.
A good driver never urges a
horse beyond his gait. He can
work his horses from sunrise to
sunset, and if he treats the horse
rightly when he comes in at night
the horse will frolic and play.

nary interest is now being heard

the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube SIS inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restor-

the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system from
CYPRESS Hills, Brooklyn, 10 Jamaica or
those extensions called for in the dual
subway system which connect with the
station on the bridge plaza in Long ISL
and City, work on the Astoria extension
is practically completed; the construction
of the extension TO Woodside, Elmhurst
and Corona is progressing very rapidly
and will be finished by next fall; the
construction of the big passenger transfer
station on the bridge plaza in Long ISL
and City is now under way, and will be
finished in a little more than year; the
Steinway tunnel will be ready for opera
ton by January !, 1915, and its extension
to greensboro Bridge will be finished
shortly after. To-connect all these lines
across the Greensboro Bridge il is neces-
sary that work be started as soon as pos
sible. as il is estimated that II will take
two years from the time the work starts
to complete the construction of the
bridge.
Al a Joint meeting Of the board OF di-
rectors and the transit committee of the
Chamber OF Commerce Of the Borough OF
Queens. held last week. resolutions were
adopted opposing any change In the plans
of the dual subway system that would
delay the inauguration OF that part OF
rapid transit into Queens Borough when
passes through the bridge plaza, Long
Island City. and requesting the Board OF
Estimate 10 make at the earliest possible
moment the necessary appropriations re-
ouested by the Bridge Department for the
reconstr1Iction Of the greensboro Bridge
IN adapt il for rapid transit trains. II
was also the sense of those present at
this meeting that the Board OF Estimate
and tn. Public Service Commission should
take into consideration the serious matter
of the reduction in the width or the pres
ent roadway by the operation Oh tne
Brooklyn Rapid Transit trains, and tha'
~ II Ia finally determined that this road
WAY must be reduced in width, then any
such reduction OF roadway be compen-
stated for by providing additional and SUI
fcient roadway space on some part OF the
bridge or by any other method.
The transit committee Of the chamber
of which John Adikes is chairman, mas
made an exhaustive study OF this entre
question, has thoroughly examined al
plans bearing upon the subject has con-
sidered every alternative plan that has
been proposed. has had numerous CONFER
ences with the engineers and officials OF
the Public Service Commission, the boaro

and believe they are acting in the best In

following statement TO the Chamber OF
Commerce OF the Borough OF Queens last
week
The Bridge Department is trying to
solve this situation so as 10 meet the
objections OF some OF the QueeDs people
as to the narrowing OF the roadway and
still make the connection with rapid
transit lines that are included in the
dual subway system within the two years
time that 1t will take to construct the
work on these extensions into Queens.
We believe that We can meet these OBJ
jections by not narrowing the roadway
and at the same time connect the Queens
lines across the bridge within two years
time The details of our plan will be
announced shortly"

veloped at an average rate of abou

SPACE FOR GOODS
FROM 900 BOX CARS
This Is One of the Leading
Features of the New
B. & o. Warehouse.

TIL. new warehouse Of the Baltimore
a Ohio Railroad at Eleventh av. and 18th
at. is the largest reinforced concrete
structure on Manhattan Island according
to many building experts.
The building covers about third OF
city block. is ten stories high, while It's
four acres OF floor are designed 20 store
,he goods of twelve trains of fifty box
cars each. There are million and three
quarters cubic feet of space ready should
occasion require says THE Edison
Monthly"
Freight over the Baltimore ONO
enters New York through Staten isIano'
the cars being brought to the city on
eoats from the yard at ST. Georges.
About fifty floats a day are brought Up
the bay, and each bears anywhere iroth
ten 10 twenty cars. They are unloaded III
BROOKLYN and at docks along the Norm
and East Rivers-the greater nuihoer
being landed at 2eth ST., where there Is
fan of tracks and the recently built ware
house.
THE new structure was erected BY The
Turner Construction Company. IL Is built
entirely of concrete, something over 1900
I bags of cement being required for the
work. Electricity was used almost OK
/ clusively In the construction, motors driV-
1 ing the mixers and operating the hoists
for material. Now that the building IL
! cor,n,eted electricity is used exclusively
! IN it's commercial operation. Six hve-ton
/ elevators are operated by motors OF 20
horsepower each: $50 lights illuminate the
building, a motor OF ~ horsepower sup

( horsepower operates the stump pump In
addition TO this. motor OF horsepower
I drives an air compressor connected with
the sprinkler system This Is supplied
I from roof tanks, one containing 5000 gal
Ions and flowing by gravity. while the
800 gallon tanks flow under pressure.
The elevators open directly on the freight
nlatform on the ground floor, and the
double siding upon which cars come for
unloading is within the building. This SD
ing is designed 10 take fifteen cars. while
the tracks In the yard accommodate
eighty more.
Before the warehouse was built the con-
signee who wanted his goods held until
some future date had to haul them to

before he is ready for them he simply
orders them into the railroad terminal
warehouse. He does not handle them
until he s ready 10 take them to his
own establishment. All of which Is a
