and gives an illuminating insight into
early Hoosier life. The poem is APP
pended:
I'm told, in riding somewhere West.
A stranger found Hoosier's nest.
In other words. Buckeye cabin.
Just big enough to hold Queen Nab in.
It's situation low. but airy.
Was on the borders of q prairie;
And fearing he might be benighted,
He hailed the house, and then alighted.
The Hoosier met him at the door.
Their salutations soon were DER.
He took the strange's horse aside,
And to sturdy sapling tied;
Then. having stripped the saddle off,
He fed him in sugar-trough.
The stranger stopped to enter in,
The entrance closing with q pin;
And manifested strong desire
To sit down by the log.heap fire,
Where half dozen Hoosieroons,
With mush and milk, tin-cups and
spoons,
White heads, bare feet and dirty faces,

places;
But madam, anxious to display
Her rough but undisputed sway,
Her offspring to the ladder led,
And cuffed the youngsters up to bed.
Invited shortly to partake,
OF venison, milk and johnny-cake;
The stranger made hearty meal,
And glances round the room would
steal
One side was lined with divers gar
ments,
The other, spread with skins of var
minis; E.
Dried pumpkins overhead were strung,
Where venison hams in plenty hung;
Two rifles placed above the door,
Three dogs lay stretched upon the
floor
In short, the domicfle was rife
With specimens of Hoosier life,
The host, who centerd his affections
On game. and range and quarter Sec
tions,
Discoursed his weary guest for hours
Till Somnus' all-composing powers.
OF sublunary cares bereft 'em;
And then l came away, and left 'em.

stockholders by 1881 Other railroads have had
measure Of the same success, under definite
propaganda. Each stakeholder on Sept owned
an average Of 1O623 shares, or 1886 shares less
than the average holders twelve months previous.
On the latest date there were 5,428 women, or
TAB more than year ago, representing nearly
third interest in the property. This is good for
the railroad and good for the stockholders, bat
under such scattered, amateurish control there
are more openings for the skillful manipulation
Of small group of which we already have had
some excellent examples.
Railroad issues should be as safe as govern
ment bond under such conditions, but they will
never be SO long as the government does nothing
under the assumption that this rich prize will
always be in the same reputable hands. The
Rock Island was once in reputable hands, too.
The interstate commerce commission, the
same body that has gone through the Rock Is
land, the New Haven, the Frisco, and the Alton
has urged, with all its strength
that it's control be extended to a supervision of
railroad securities. The railroad men who are in
the railroads business favor it, for they real
ize that nothing can be left undone to block any
further manipulations. President Wilson is un-
derstood to have put the measure in the admins
tration program. Congress has already let it go
by once, but there Is new argument and new
strength behind it for the coming session.
