SMILE AWHILE
SURE THING, Now.

Some years ago an engineering
company, laying railroad in the
wilds, had occasion to employ num-
Der of foreigners on grade route. In
some cases, these men through their
own ability or through the scarcity OF
more competent workers, became
sub-foremen, who we're instructed to
take charge of their particular part
of the job in case Of the death or i'll
ness of their immediate superiors. 1t
was from one Of these that the COM
pany received the following tele-
gram:
BOSS dead What to do?"
! "lf you are sure he is dead, bury
him. Will send another boss" wired
back the company, The next day
they received a second telegram from
the obliging alien:
"All right, buried him. Made sure
he was quite dead. Hit him on head
with shovel"

With but three minutes to catch
his train the travelling salesman in

re was passing down the aisle:
Cant you go faster than this ?"
"Yes," said the money taker, but
have to stay with my car"

silver tongues of spellblnders.
Constructive legislation has been
hindered rather than helped by this
attitude for in their desire TO please a
suspicious public even fair minded
Legislators have leaned so far toward
repressive legislation that the con-
structive sort has been lost and en-
tangled in the maze of restrictive red

A better service to the nation at

the city and lessening of cost to the

RAIL FUTURE IN

OPINION IS TOLD
I. G.. Railroad Head Holds Op-
timistic Viewpoint for
Betterment.
Country Starts to Realize Val

Civilization.
By C. H. MARKHAM

EDIToR's NoTE.-C. H. Markham
is president of one of the greatest
railroad systems in the world. He
speaks NTH a poice of absolute ,au-
thority and knowledge. His opinions
are accepted and hailed by railroad
executives throughout the United
States and because of his close touch
to the executives of other railroads
What he says may weH be considered
a poicing of the sentiment of the
American railroads as entertained
by their governing heads.
For twenty years the American
public has withheld sympathy fol
the problems of the railroad, prob

the public.

was wrong.
But, regardless Of where the blame
is to be placed, the fact remains that
the impression gained popularity that
the railroads needed no protection
That, in fact, they were entitled to no
protection, and that the public vel
fare could best be served by attacking
railway management, embarrassing it
and putting every hindrance in its
way. Every action undertaken by the
railroads looking toward an improve
ment in their capacity for rendering
service was viciouSly attacked; every
application for rates which would
provide revenues sufficient for oper-
ating expenses, fixed charges and a
return which would be attractive to
the capital needed for financing eX-
tensions, improvements and better
ments was bitterly fought; hamper
ing legislation and restrictions were
adopted, increasing the cost of rem
dering transportation without increas-
ing the capacity for it. Batting the
railroads became popular political
sport. The public grew to look upon
the critics of the railroads as being
always worthy of belief, and the de-
Tenders of the railroads as being al.
ways in the wrong,

Why British Flag Bears Large Cross.

During the early part OF Its his
tory, Great Britain used a number
Of different flags or standards TO
identify the men and the ships belong
ing TO the nation. In medieval times,
practically every great nobleman had
a flag of his own, but, at the time
of Richard the Lion Hearted, what
is now the official badge OF Great
Britain had its beginning.
As time went on, the insignia Of
conquered nations were added to this
ensign. together with certain symbols
of the relgnlng families with whom
the British kings aud queens intermar'
ried, even the symbol of France ap'
pearing on this flag as late as 1901.
Gradually, however, these were elimi-
mated and the present royal standard
adopted-dlvlded into four quarters,
symbolical of the divisions of the Is
land empire. In the first quarter are
the three British lions. In the see
ond appears the fighting lion of Scot
land. The harp OF Ireland occupies
the third quarter and the lions Of Eng.
land are repeated in the fourth quar-
ter, for Wales does not appear as q
separate entity. Joining the four-or
separating them-is the Cross of st
George, as typical of the different
British standards as the Stars and
Stripes are of the various forms of
the American flag.

Indian Fighter Told Of Reviewing
Quadruped Army That Had Front
of Ten Miles.

The famous Indian fighter General
lIaus, who lost in eye In border skir-
mishes with renegades and received
the congressional medal of honor for
gallantry In an Apache campaign, told
me about seventeen years ago of
dramatic incident in which he par
tlcipated In the middle '70s. AS a
young lieutenant, with an orderly ana
two Indian scouts, he was trailing the
great Nez perce Chief Joseph in his
flight from Oregon to Canada.
The American scouting party came
into an open prairie country in Idaho.
They paused on tiny hillock, scan
ming the horizon. The Indians dropped,
ears to ground. They slgnaled. Presently
all with ears down heard 1t distinctly,
the hump, hump, hump of Rhythmic
beat, ana far of, OF a mighty host
marching,
Buffalo!
They came into view; they ap.
preached. General Maus described the
great spread of that quadruped army,
at least five miles wide each way,
making ten-mile front. The scouts
fred their carblnes to defect the
| avalanche SO that the leaders would
| turn aside and not come directly over
| the hillock. one horse early reared,
broke away, fed and was engulfed In
the herd. Two OF the other horses
uttered queer, loud, whining squeals,
ana all OF them trembled in ahject
terror with yielding knees and reared
| repeatedly.
For four solid hours that herd Kept
coming on and passing. We figured the
possible numbers, with the progress al
about ten miles an hour and the herd
closely wen-c1 II won't into millions
General Maus related it as the mos
amazing experience he ever had wit
messed. He had described it to Frederic
Remington and had offered to guide
him to the spot and describe details
