 "Oh, I see," grinned Jim Sargent. You want to do something you can really call job. If remember right ly, you started with an equipment of four horse cars and two miles of rust ed rail. What do you want to conquer neXt?"
 Allison glanced down the hill, then back out across the starlit sky. Some new fervor had possessed him tonight which made him a poet, and loosened his tongue which, previous to this, could almost calculate it's utterances in percentage.

 The broker looked them oeer and elevated his eyebrows. There was not road in the list which was i'm portant strategically, but he had ceased to ask questions of Edward Allison.
 Three days later Allison went into the annual stockholders meeting of the l.. and c. railroad, and registered majority of the stock in that insig- nificant line, which ran up the shore opposite Crescent island, joined the Towando Valley shortly after it's emer gence from it's hired entrance into New York, ran for fifty miles over the roadway of the Towando, with which it had long time tracking contract and wandered up into the country, where it served as an outlet to cer- tain conservatively profitable terri tory.
 The president reached for his gavel and called the meeting. The stock holders, gray and grave, and some with Watery eyes, drew up their chairs to the long table; for they were direc. tors, too.

Peter the Great.

What Alfred the Great Is to early Britain, that Peter the Great, in his crude way, is to Russia. If ever a race of people found adequate expression in one person, that race was the Slavic race in their great czar. As an acorn enfolds an oak, the type of great forest, so Peter the Great enfolded the Russian people. Into him they have flowed from the twilight of time, and from him they have gone out to the ends of the earth. And this was one of his dreams, that his country might have ample boundaries. From "The World Storm-and Beyond" by Edwin Davies Schoonmakex.
