From the Rnil0ueipuh ASSSt0pA'
In the course OF another ten years
the wooden railway passenger coach 70
destined practically to pass out OF use
in the United States. There are nearly
1000 fewer coaches Of this obsolete type
on American roads now than there were
two years ago. and at this rate their
complete displacement by cars Of the
safe, modern steel kind must be reck-
oned among the inevitabilities Of the
near future.
Accident insurance companies have
been quick to recognize the greater SALE
ty in railway travel already provided BY
the growing use of steel cars. and have
multiplied the size of their indemnitiee
for accidents associated with steam road
transportation. NJ. X Barnum. presi-
dent of the Master Car Builders Asso-
citation. is authority for the statement
that fatal accidents to railway passengers
have been reduced to one Tor every
251. 100000 passenger miles.
1t is probable that this tendency tow
ard undermining railway rolling stock
will be greatly accelerated by a favorable
decision from the interstate commerce
commission on the application of the
roads for increased freight rates. The
companies are short of funds: economy
having usurped the place of improve
ments. Additional necessary steps tow
ard insuring human safety is but an
other phase of progress that must hesi-

THE DAILY STORY.
A Humble Life.
Copyright. 1914. By W. Werner,


Satie Peer had lived in westmore all
her life. She had begun by being Satie
Hess, and had continued as such for a
matter of forty-six years. Then suddenly
she married old Elbert Peer
Ebert Peer was twenty years older
than Satie. He was a long-faced. chin
whiskered old fellow who had a passion
for inventing. Most Of his inventions he
whitfield out with n jackknife. He would
sit all day whiting and whistling softly
to himself, He spent all his money get
ting things patented. He never sold any
thing, A good many people called him
crazy. hut Satie did not think SO.
At the time of her marriage Satie
was a dressmaker and had a good bust
ness. She usually had a string of appren-
tees to aid her She rose early and-toiled
late Being alone in the world. she had
no interest outside her work. She had
no one to love or to love her and she
had never had a beau In her life.
After old Elbert Peer went to board at
the next house he came to call on Satie
and brought her present-a bird which
he had whitfield out and painted In vivid
colors. Satie had received few gifts in
her lifetime and few attentions. She was
pleased She placed the bird on the shelf
and looked at it every day. The girls in
the workroOm began to tease her about
her admirer They teased her so much
that Satie began to believe that Elberts
attention meant something. She took to
frizzing her hair and bought new dress.
And she was kinder to Elbert when he
crossed her way.
One Sunday evening he brought his
whiting over and sat on the steps
with her. He was making a new appli-
ance and talked eagerly about patenting
1t and making his fortune. He asked
Satie to- share his lot with him. There
was moonlight and the fragrance of
syringa sweetened the air. When Elbert
laid aside his whiting and took her hand
Satie forgot that she was forty-six and
he twenty years older. She remembered
only that this was the first taste of ro-
nance she had ever had. All the love
scenes in all the stories she had ever
read drifted into her mind: these scenes
usually were lit by the moon and smelt
of roses. She was deluded into thinking
herself young enough to marry. She
was deluded into believing Elbert's fan
tastical schemes for the future. She rose
up with him then and there and went
across to the parsonage and was married
And because Elbert had no money she
paid the minister herself.
Satie had saved little money through
the years of her hard work, and now
that Elbert was her husband for better,
for worse, she felt him entitled to the
use of It, Sum after sum went into his

Through the Telephone.
rom the Sunday School Time,

From the Sunday School Times.
Telephones test our courtesy and our
conservation perhaps more than any
other device Of civilization. And they
not only test us. but they tempt us. We
are tempted to be rude to a stranger
over the telephone In a way that We
would not dream of in q face-to-face
conversation with any one. The opening
sentence over the phone 10 one OF the
testing times. How often we hear, or
speak. sharp word the first moment
the connection is made-the ''reason'
being that there has been a delay or an
annoyance of some kind in getting the
connection. Who is that" comes or
goes singing over the wire; yet we
would not think Of speaking that way TO
a person lust entering the room. II win
help US il We school ourselves into using
the telephone invariably as though the
person we are talking TO were present in
person. When the shafts of telephone
impatience come sharply out Of the tn
strument into our ear. then Is our op-
portunity to show quietness and love and
courtesy in an unrufi1ed response. To
bring Christ and the telephone close to-
gether-what a new chapter in our every
day life this would open!

sion among those who take the troub-
le TO look at the figures that farmers
are frequently heard to say that there
Is no money in raising horses. Some
figures compiled by the dean of the
State Agricultural college of Min
necota will prove interesting as she'd
ding light on the real facts and GO
ing to show that after all there are
q few horses left. This expert finds
that the value of the horses and mules
in the United States is $2,S23, ACT 900.
While it is difficult matter to get
even an estimate as to the value of
the automobile in the country il has
been stated that they represent in
cash a little more than 81 100000, 900.
In other words the horse represents
nearly three times as much money as
the automobile. Not only that, but
the actual price of horses is advanc-
ing in spite of the fact that for many
purposes mans faithful friend has
been displaced by the motor. For all
farm work the horse is now and must
remain supreme. No, old Dobbin
may be passing but he has not yet
passed. That time of which enthu-
siastic motor car men have spoken
when the horse will be found only in
museums not only has not come, but
it can not be forseen in the dim and

THE SUPREME COURTS PURE
FOOD DECISION.

While the decision of the supreme
court in the bleached flour case will
probably prove bitter disappoint-
ment to many, it was decision that
must have been expected by those who
have closely followed the wrangles to
which the pure food law has given
rise. The referee board has shown
beyond the shadow of q doubt (and
the experiments conducted by ex-
parte Investigators in Europe and
America confirm its findings) that
very small quantities of injurious
substances have no harmful effect.
AS we understand it, the decision
by no means goes SO far IS to hold
that food which is unfit for human
consumption may be treated with
harmless proportions of injurious
chemicals in order to make it market
able. 1t does however throw upon
the bureau of chemistry the task OF
proving conclusively that question
able food is so noxious that its sale
should be forbidden.
In these days of the high cost Of
living food manufacturer of honest
intentions should not be too greatly
hampered in his effort to place a
wholesome product upon the market
at a reasonable price. To be sure
the question Of wholesomeness may
give rise to hot controversy; but II
is for the very settlement Of these
questions that the bureau Of chemis-
try and the referee board exist.
That the bureau is now doing Its
work competently and adequately we
are convinced. The bleached flour
case must be regarded as heritage
from time when the physiological
findings of the bureau were not all
that could be desired, and the decis-
ion is not to be considered as a re-
Election upon the present personnel Of
the bureau. No doubt the decision
will have the effect Of increasing the
bureaus work. More analysis will
probably have to be engaged, and
more stations for the examination Of
food products established. Congress
has beer exceedingly generous in its
appropriations for the bureaus work,
and there is no reason to suppose that
it will be any less liberal in the fu-
ture than it has been in the past.
Surely the task of guarding whole
nations health is so important that
congress will not spare any expense
in attacking it properly.-Scientific

HOW TO HANDLE LOAN SHARKS

Kansas must be pretty hard
place for loan sharks, if the exper-
ience of one of them can be taken as
an example OF. what will happen to
others of the kind of sued by their
victims. The supreme court of that
state recently rendered decision
which gives to the loan shark victim
the sum of $5,44S, thus making it
highly profitable, as he had paid
$l15.50 in less than two years on a
loan of s25.
A man named Stalker secured a
loan of s25 for one month and was to
pay $3.50 in interest. He renewed
the note, but was late day or two
when it again fell due. To straight
en- out the matter he was compelled
to pay $40 on the ground that the
matter had been placed in the hands
Of an attorney. Finally he was pay

THE COMPULSORY
VOTE IN FRANCE

A general election is to be held in
France toward the end cf April and
it doesn't appear that any party or
group expects an unheayal. BRAND,
the ex-premier and strong man, has
been preaching the political gospel
iof national unity and has been or
ganizing new party, modelled on the
great" parties of Britain and the
United States. He thinks the French
people are weary Of group govern
ment, of intrigues and alliances for
temporary slight purposes. He holds
that nation cannot live by anti
lclericalism and vague radicalism
alone. He has championed construc-
tive reform in industry and politics
But the time at Brands disposal
is too short for the success of his
movement. The chances favor the
groups and alliances that are now
dominant.
In order to bring about change
in the fundamental political condition
some constructive deputies are push
ing bin making voting compulsory
in France. They use arguments
which our own Secretary of the Nav,
Mr. Daniels. has been using of late
with considerable effect. If voting
they urge, is duty, and not merely
a privilege, why should not that dut,
be enforced? Why not penalize tn,
Indifferent, the lazy, the Superior
who sneer at politics? 1t is esti
mated that some 100000 citizens
of France fail to exercise their righ
of suffrage. If they could be in
duced or compelled to go to the polls
elections might turn out very differ
emily and surprise some leaders ant
groups. However, the compulsor,
voting bill cannot be passed betweei
now and the end of April. The ques
tion is raised merely for discussion

THE CITY MANAGER PLAN.

A Grand Junction paper states that
Montrose has the distinction Of being
the second city in the country to pu,
the city manager plan into effect
and classes Dayton, Ohio, as the only
other city manager place in the coun-
try. This information is misleading
as the city manager plan was NOT
first adopted in Dayton, and instead
of being the second city, Montrose is
the thirteenth to adopt the system.
The city manager plan originated
several years ago in Sumter, s. G..
and is frequently referred to as the
Sumter system. The system has
spread to eight states and has beer
put into effect by the following cit
les: Sumter, s. c.; Hickory and Nor.
gantown, N. c.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Mont
rose, Colo; Abilene, Kan; Cadillac
and Manistee, Mich; Dayton and
Springfield, Ohio; La Grande, Ore;
Amarillo and Terrell, Texas. The
smallest place under the manager
plan is Morgantown, N. c., with g.
172 population, and the largest is
Dayton with 1857 population. Day
ton, Springfield, Phoenix and Manis-
tee are the only places Of more than
10000 having city manager.
As the city manager in Dayton is
m excellent record, 1t is like
ly that the plan win be adopted, or
at least seriously considered, by many
cities in the near future. II Mont
