when | came to. There was
nothing TO do but climb off at the
first stop and wait for the next
train back. had the pleasure of
looking forward TO a real visit in
Blackv1lle.
From there, when / finally re-
turned, I wired the conductor of
the Augusta train to give my bag
gage 10 the agent at Augusta. In
formed that the next train 10 my
objective point was not due till
late in the evening-tt was then
2 in the afternoon-I sought the
protection of the town hosiery.
Train a Little Late
The operator told me the train
was a little late. That is as far
as he would commit himself.
About two hours later he went
out to a blackboard and chalked
up: NO. %, 2:2O late" 1t was
the skiddoo number for me all
rlsht. Three hours later l sent
over from the hotel to find when
they expected the derelict. Rest
easy" came the answer, shes
here now, but she has to wait for
the Jacksonville flyer"
You may be sure / was any
thing but tickled TO death when
at last, with a grunt and a cough
and many creakings Of joints, the
old train finally hit the ties for
Augusta, We hadn't gone more
than mile before that engine
contracted a stomach ache.
By the time a freight engine
had been sent to our rescue the
cars were freezing. I'd have given
a weeks salary for the benny"
that beat me into Augusta. The
freight engine was little better
than its sick brother, but finally
managed to haul US to a town
where there We're real electric
lights. Here a vender of hot
sandwiches broke all quick
lunch records" for a quarter of
an hour.
In the meantime the other crew
had tinkered up the sick engine
and sent it in pursuit of us.
Chaperoned by ii. we finally rum
bled into port. But not into the
Augusta station. Oh. no. The
railway bridge had been washed
away and the passengers had to
be transferred in a roundab bout
way by bus.
A boy met me at the train. He
had my telegram to the conduc-
tor who dropped me with the
diner several ages before. On the
bottom were these words: Left
your coat and baggage with T. r.
Cobb" Naturally, l thought this
must be one of the station hands.
and l prepared to give him. his
associates and his road a mighty
fine tongue flashing.
A neatly dressed, clean-cut
young fellow stepped up TO me.
"Mr. Fisher" ne inquired I'm
Mr.. Cobb"
And then and there set into
him. | told him what l thought
of the South in general and his
road in particular; that l would
sue the company for heavy dam
ages. He looked as IL he thought
l had gone off my nut.
"That'll be ali right" he said,
soothingly Come on out TO the
house. You must stay with me
tonight"
l was a bit surprised when I
saw a high powered car awaiting
us. But the truth did not dawn
till we had sped several miles out
into the country.
Didn't Recognize Ty Cobb.
George wired me to meet you"
said my abduotor. 1T seems
strange you had all this trouble.
Ed had much the same experience,

then to Nashville in the Southern AS
ISOLATION, the latter deal coming
through trade to Cleveland by the
Marion management Jake was re-
called by Cleveland in the fall, and
later sold 70 Toledo in the American
Association Evidently Jake failed to
make good with Toledo, for they sold
him to Memphis early in the seas son of
1909
The Brooklyn scouts, in looking
over the Memphis hopefus. picked
Jake out as a promising youngster,
and SO he has been with the Dodgers
ever since, and probably will continue
there unless some other club can in
duce the Brooklyn management to
transfer his services through trade.
which is hardly likely as long as he
continues to play in his present form.

GEORGE PEABODY.

About forty years ago the best ship In
the British Navy sailed from England on
q strange errand. Upon it was the body
OF an American Citizen. The coffin was
drSped with the Stars and Stripes and the
Royal British Ensign. Before sailing, the
body was honored with services at West
minister Abbey. This was the first time
IN the history of England tina the tomb
OF Engiand's Kings and Queens was
opened to . private citizen Of any foreign
country. A fleet from the United States
Navy met the British ship and escorted Il
to the American shores. Such was the
last homecoming of the man who. at the
age of eleven years, was forced to mare
his own living.
Geo. Peabody was born OF poor parents
and at the age of Ii years went to work
in Q grocery store. At the age of 10 he
became a partner In a general mercantile
concern, and by careful saving and hard
work he wa subsequently, able to start q
banking business in London for handling
American money abroad.
Ills faculty for overcoming obstacles
was remarkable, and his determined ef-
forts were always successful,
he was one of Americas nobiest huei.
ness men and his philanthropies reached
all over the world. His favorite maxim
was: . unto others as you would have
them DO unto YOU

WILL PANGS OF UNSATISFIED HUNGER END
WAR AND BRING PEACE TO EUROPE? =


trade.
FRANCE
France is fairly self supporting,
having a good, sensible mixture of
industries. Agriculture is well de-
Veloped, mining is encouraged, and
manufacturing is carried on efficient
ly and to a reasonable extent. Prob
ably France is the most "all-round"
developed nation in Europe and is
the most to be envied economically
of any of the warning nations.
RUSSIA
Russia still stands for agriculture
in the old way, having not yet
emerged from the medieval stage.
She has unlimited land; her people
have no ambition beyond tilling, the
soil, and she not only can feed her
self, but exports large quantities Of
foodstuffs to other countries.
BELGIUM
Belgium is a strictly manufactur-
ing nation. Here are found the great
steel works, machinery plants and
the most busy factories and mills of
Europe. The people OF Belgium have
left the plow in the country for the
more stirring life of the city. Belgium
in many ways resembles New Eng
land, as her children have left the
country homes for the city. Hence
Belgium is far from self-supporting
and is absolutely dependent on other
nations for her foodstuffs.
AUSTRIA
Austria is more in the class with
Russia than the others. She is still
in the middle ages so far as large
proportion of her population is con-
cerned. Her people are ignorant and
inefficient, but they are satisfied and
industrious, tilling the soil along the
old lines Although such a condition,
greatly handicaps nation in time
of peace, yet it helps make that na-
ton independent in time of; war.
