Automobile Evidence that Proves Something UTOMOBILE buying ought not to be a gamble. Buyers ought to know what they are getting. Not only how much power, how many speeds, and how much seat- ing capacity, but also What they are getting in serv- ice and satisfaction. Every maker ought to be able and eager to supply the necessary facts. But most makers don't. The trouble is they (the makers themselves) don't know. Have never taken the trouble to find out. So, they can't tell you how much mileage their cars are good for, or How much you ll have to pay for repairs every 100 miles. Yet these items are of vital inter- est to every car buyer. Ask a maker what his car is good for and he'll tell you some news that makes good reading, but doesn’t help you any. As for instance: His car You are not intending to risk your life in races, so that fact doesn’t mean much to you. His car endurance contest. W hat, one You arent buying a car for one endurance test; vears, to say the least. won a race. won an endurance contest ? vou want a car to endure for several His car won a hill-climb. You want 1 car to climb every hill you come to. I lis buvers So? faction are satished. sut how much does their satis them?” you ask, and Mr. Maker can’t supply the answer. cost Probably he doesn’t know. I he aoes know, he doesn't tell. We insist that every buyer ought to know what he gets. He ought also to know how much he must pay for what he gets. Purchase price isn’t all the buyer pays. Some umes pure hase price 1s only an ini tiation fee into an expensive surpnise society Cheap cars usually cost more to keep than to get But cheap cars are not alone in that class. THE WINTON MOTOR CARRIAGE! Berea KK Some fairly expensive ones are “dry docked” so that the ! owner finds it almost a necessity to olten own two cars in order to get the regular daily service of one. That's a fact known to the trade. But it isn’t advertised. And those ‘ tell about it, because men seldom care ‘satishied owners don't to publish how they were “stung.” The automobile industry is now more than ten years old. With ten vears’ expenence, cars ought to be so well made as to run two, three, five years with practically no expense for upkeep. But that wasn’t possible until the invention and production of six-cylinder cars. Because with acontinuous power- stream the six-cylinder motor doesn't hake itself and its car into the repair shop And no car has a continuous power tream unless it has six cylinders. Keep that fact in mind. When Mr. Winton made his first Six Cylinder « ir, he realized that thereafter owners would pay less for upkeep. Because Sixes would stand up better than any other type ever made Then he set about to prove that fact For two years now Mr. Winton has wing from Winton Six owners sworn statements of upkeep. 1 been rece OF iW Six at t Mark you, sworn statements, not mere “I think,” or “I guess,” but statements of fact made under oath. These sworn statements prove that the Winton Six costs its owner prac- tically nothing to maintain. What does it cost to maintain a Winton Six? In 1908, ten Winton Sixes ran 65,687 miles on total upkeep ex pense of $15.13. In 1909, ten Winton Sixes ran 118,503 miles on total upkeep ex pense of $127.30. . ae ee ee Thus in 1908 and 1909, twenty Winton Sixes ran 184,190 miles on total upkeep expense of $142.43. This distance is more than seven times the circumference of the earth. It is seventy times the distance of the 1909 Glidden tour. It is more than four hundred and fifty times the distance of the Van- de rbilt « up race. These twenty Winton Sixes were not handled by high pric ed racing men nor factory experts, but by ordinanly intelli- gent boys, e ach chosen and hired by the individual car owner himself. These twenty cars averaged 1315.6 WINTON SIX miles travel per month—43.8 miles per day every day for seven months. At an average cost for upke ep ol 77 cents per one thousand (1000) miles. Inc identally, by way of illustration One car (owned in New York) ran 25,290 miles. It cost nothing the first vear. The sec ond year the owner paid $60 for overhauling. Another car 22,158 miles. It carried a Limousine body and in two years cost not one cent for upkeep. Thus these two cars both running traveled 47,448 miles on a total expense of $60, averaging $1.26 1000 owned in Chicago) ran two years per one thousand miles. When the next salesman tres to sell you a car, ask him to show you his car’s upkeep figures. And remember this: | Low upk ‘ep expense means not only that you are not burdened by repair bill It means also that you have a car able to stand up and go, and to keep going, day in and day out, every day. enjoyed that ex M any car owners never perience. Winton Six owners experience it right al And it is a vital reason why your next car ought to be a self cranking, sweet-running, six- cylinder Winton Six . . . , If you want maximum car-value at minimum cost, you'll get our literature, It bristles with dollars-and-sense facts.

An Interrupted Polo Match THE SATURDAY EVENING POST would have shown which would win, her friends and most of the other spectators made a concerted movement away from the polo grounds. It was time for tea, and nothing under the welkin can separate an English- man from tea, not even sport During Ascot week, even Cup day, no one seemed to take the races seriously. People were either lunching on the coaches with their faces from the track, or were back in the royal inclo- sure taking tea, or else in the regimental tents. Toa stranger the regimental tents, of which there is one to every well-known regiment, with soldier servants in front and East Indians in red and white turbans quite as picturesque as a race; but till, all this was not sport, and it usually was feeding All these picture run through the as she watches her friends play- ing with their dogs.

It is highly desirable } that this building not only should be in a good loca- | tion, but also that it should contain a maximum of rentable and a minimum of unrentable space. More- over, the stability and size of the income depend ipon the constant rental of all revenue-producing ‘ All offices must remain constantly under lease | f the building is to prove highly profitable.

I went in and found him sitting with it in hi hand with the look of death on his face. For the letter was two months old when he got it. Some mistake about his two names there was, and the date she set down for him to meet her was six weeks gone when her letter came Glory be to God, but it’s a cruel world!

If she was poor itself we'd have a better chance of finding her through some of the charities or the hospitals, maybe But she had money enough to last her a while, and she gone the same as if the ground had swallied her up ‘‘Mine papa,”’ commented Esther, ‘‘he’s got it pretty hard.’’ And she folded her hands and shook her head in unconscious but triumphant imitation of Mrs. Moriarty **Hear you me,”’ Mrs. Moriarty acquiesced. ‘* He ha the hardest luck ever I heard of.

So she said calmly, ‘‘That will be Pound had ot utrageously satisfactory, Johnny,’’ and waited for him to fill out the check. She glanced over the instrument with an experienced, businesslike eye, folded it neatly and dropped it in her handbag. So that was settled. “They're trying to put you out of business,” she observed, taking up hersecond subject. Pres- ently they were discussing the fight. Now, for the ‘‘regulars’’ Pound had some con- tempt, but not too much. He knew well enough that their combination was rather formidable. In their behalf two influential new spapers were pitch- ing into him, hammer and tongs. Many of the banks were ready enough to cast doubt upon his standing. He suspected that even the Norse National, while properly anxious to retain his prof- itable account, was not really infatuated with h in its heart. Its natural leanings would be rather toward the regular, conservative, crowd. Except for such service as he could buy in one way and another, he stood practically alone. It was his brains and money against the field. But here was an ally, this woman, with her swift, clear, adroit mind, her unshakable courage her surefooted judgment.

He had been quite confident before, yet the feeling that reénforcements were at hand was pleasant. He had no trouble in explain- ing to himself her interest in the fight. In the first place, she now had a stake of a hundred and thousand dollars in the bucketshop. In the next place, he knew that she delighted in the fight for its own sake It atmosphere drew her as tradition do a warhorse. The second reason was the more compelling As a matter of fact, Emma did delight in the fight. It gave her exercise for her talents. Only three days later she returned to the bucketshop with an idea she wished to lay before him. Thus, without any prearrangement, she fell into a way of visiting his office quite often, talking the thing over with him, debating, Within a month all the threads of the affair were as com- pletely in her hands as in his Pound discovered an opportunity to get control ofa moribund afternoon newspaper by advancing some ninety thousand dollars to pay its most pressing debts. The Evening Commonwealth enjoyed, in fact, only very lim- ited circulation or influence at home. But its statements in the bucketshop’s behalf would count out in the country if copies were judiciously distributed through the branch offices. Pound took over the sheet, and Emma urged to deliver a frontal attack through it. Presently, there- fore, the Commonwealth published a long and circum- stantial account of how Mr. Charles Francis Lansing, the eminent ‘‘ regular’? commission merchant, had bucket- shopped his customers’ orders through Pound it gave Pound’s version only; but the detailed record of the bucketshopped trades, with dates and prices, looked quite convincing. Indeed, several of Mr. Lansing’s cus- tomers, who recognized their own trades in the published list, reproached him severely. Altogether, the publication drove Mr. Lansing half frantic. His attorney, Benjamin F. Totherow, brought suit against the bankrupt Common- wealth for five hundred thousand dollars damages whereat Pound and Emma enjoyed a hearty laugh. Emma was especially happy in such counterstrokes as these, which, while they may not have advanced Pound's cause materially, brought vast confusion to the enemy When her fighting blood was up she had a kind of mali- cious, half-apish mischievousness.

Some pneu- monia here and there, perchance; but even that makes for the undertakers. At High Tide eood business W ) ARE just about on top again. That traditional ‘‘barometer of trade,” the iron and steel industry, tands at a new high-level output exceeding the best record of the pre-panic boom. The volume of business generally, as measured by bank clearings and railroad earnings, is fully as great as ever before. Stocks, taking the average of the leading issues, are close to the previous high-water mark; and the average price of over a hundred staple commodities is only a little below the highest level of 1907 It was a similar situation in the fall of 1907 that brought ona reaction. There wasn’t money enough to carry with comfort such a load of business. The panic might have been avoided; but the strain upon credit created a condi- tion out of which panic easily developed. Yet now, only two years later, we are carrying the same load with ease Money is still quite abundant; credit freely obtainable. In the two years the stock of gold in the country has increased more than two hundred million dollars; of gold and banknotes, over three hundred mil- lions In a word, we have a broader base. This fall, within little more than a month, the Bank of Germany and the Bank of England advanced their discount rates, from three and a half and two and a half per cent, respectively, to five per cent. Credits were expanding too fast over there, and those powerful institutions took steps in time to preserve a proper proportion between the base and the superstructure. They proposed to reduce loans and increase their stocks of gold. Besides the direct effect, theiraction has a very important collateral, or sentimental, effect. As compared with them our headless banking sys- tem is at a disadvantage. No Money Out of the Air N FIVE years New York City has spent some six hun- dred and fifty millions of her citizens’ money, theannual expenditure having increased about fifty per cent in that time. One year, in the City Hall, an average employee cleaned a room and a half a day; and ina near-by private building one employee cleaned seventeen rooms a day Cleaning-cost in the municipal structure was three hun- dred and seventy dollars a room; in the private structure it was twenty-four dollars. For a great many articles the city paid two or three times as much as did a private pur- chaser. To run the city costs nearly as much as to run ill the states in the Union. Whether the waste is forty per cent or only twenty-five, it still amounts to a very large item Until lately New York has accepted this rather com- placently. Over ninety per cent of the direct taxes come from real estate, and the value of real estate has been increasing nearly as fast as the city’s expenditures. Until last year, therefore, the tax rate was not raised. Themoney eemed to come out of the air. A lot-owner paid more in taxes, but only because his lot was worth more; so why hould he complain? But to make his lot bring an income commensurate with this higher valuation he must raise the rent, and the tenants’ money did not come out of the iir, but out of their own, or somebody else’s, copious per- \ great deal of money elsewhere than in New York's et--that represented by watered stocks, for example finds toleration on the pleasant theory that it grew by self, without really costing anybody anything. But jollar is spent, some body had to dig to create se Who have done the actual digging in New York eem, at last, to grow impatient wherever a ¢ Spilled Railroad Pennies W* LOOK upon our railroads generally as models of my. They have carried the science of getting a hur ents out of a dollar as far, no doubt, as it has arried. Yet they spill a good many pennies. © mind in looking over some reports for the in which memories of the post-panic pinch The Southern Railway, for example, handled more and passengers than last year and had larger gross but its operating expenses decreased nearly four dollars, consuming only sixty-eight per cent of vipts against seventy-five per cent the year before trains earned over eleven cents more per mile “AUS they were more heavily loaded, it cost two cents less to run thema mile. Railroad trains in this coun- ver a billion miles a year, so, if every other road do what the Southern did last year, dividends could ised fifty per cent with no increase in freight or enger rate We do not mean that any such result, November 13,1909 universally and at once, is possible. We do mean that it is to the spilled pennies, not to higher charges, that the railroads must look in the future. By greater care in han- dling freight, says the Southern report, expenses for loss and damage claims were reduced eight hundred thousand dollars, ‘‘ which means as much to the security-holder as the establishment on the line of new traffic-producing industries of the largest capacity Wit or Wisdom in the Court? . EITHER do the spirits damned lose all their virtue,”’ was Puritan Milton’s opinion. Of the several thou- sand public prosecutors in the United States how many would feel justified in professionally adopting so tolerant and lax a view? To describe a gaping, flange-eared blockhead in the dock as a pleasing compound of thé Miltonic figures of Sin and Death is more consonant with their traditions—-while the cocoanut-headed one’s own lawyer paints him as a model of virtuous intelligence “Gentlemen of the jury, in all my professional career I have never before been engaged in a case which so power- fully roused my’’—indignation or resentment, according to which side one is speaking on. So runs the patter No better method of trying criminal cases than our contentious Anglo-Saxon one has yet been discovered, although that method does often hang the issue upon a duel of wits that is no more pertinent to justice than the old trial by battle was. The trouble arises from a low sense of social responsibility all around. The object of the trial should be, not to have one side or the other win but to discover truth Matching one gross exaggeration against another is a poor way to discover truth. The National Bar Association recognized this in the new code of ethics which it promulgated a year or so ago; but in actual practice its recognition is not very extensive The Land of Law HIS seems an opportune moment to mention, once more, the unparalleled lawlessness of the United States. Our lynching and homicidal statistics, compared with those of European countries, are at hand, but need not be repeated. All readers are familiar with them We will point, instead, to the outbreak in New York A Socialist orator, with the incorrigible hopefulness of his class, went down to Wall Street to describe the crim: and errors of Capital. Soon, as many as a score —some accounts say thirty or forty —messenger boys collected with loud, derisive noises. The disorder continued at a great height until a patrolman, happening by ** Aw, g’wan, now, yez kids! Cheese it!’’ This, so far as growled we are able to learn, was the only breach of the peace of a political nature which occurred in the United States during the autumn What occurred in Spain is well known. In Rome and Paris there were riots so extensive as to re quire the inter- vention of troops and the use of arms. Even London had a riotous demonstration of sizable proportions. A littl earlier Sweden was convulsed by a general stril ing something of the same nature in France In what other country is there so little disturbance arising from political discontent, so universal a reliance upon purely lawful political means? Getting Sick as the Romans Did HIS is increasingly the day of the doctor. Asa notabl illustration take the theory —which has lately gained sanction in scientific quarters that what ailed Greece and Rome was just plain m: From this cause in the second century B. C. the Greeks had become sickly, while the Romans were still healthy. Naturally, the latter triumphed. About six hundred years later the Romans themselves had become malarious. There was nothing much the matter with their institutions or habits; but their temperature had gone up to a hundred in the shade and they had no appetite. Thus Alaric’s frosty Goths made hash of them For several hundred years Greece and Rome have been part of the statesman’s and publicist’s stocks in trade ‘You know what happened to Rome,” they have said ‘“*Well, unless you do as we advise, the same thing will happen to you.” The habit is not so prevalent as it a century ago; yet only recently Mr. Roosevelt « in Rome to enforce a race-suicide argument. Still more recently we were assured that free trade would ruin us because it had ruined Rome. To the modern world the ancient one has been the grand scarecrow which those who have assumed to guide the modern world have worked Now there is a new hand at the levers, because we have a new guide. Comes now the doctor, and says Oh shucks! Those people were simply ill. To avoid their fate what you need is better drainage and a pill.’’ This puts a tremendous crimp in the statesmen, with their awful examples drawn from antiquity. On the whole, we prefer the doctor. His message is simpler. And probably he as near right as any other single diagnostician

While yet a great way off he waved a slip of paper at Uncle Harve, tensely expectant In the doorway It was a telegram, and Bud had received it from the hands of Jake Slaughter 1 turn, had been intrusted with from Hualuha, and had carried it wrapped round his cigarette tobacco only two days As Bud was faring to the cafion he had readily All this he explained ef the Gourds, who the message by a rider consented to be the bearer in a dozen laconic words As he held the telegram extended, Uncle Harve fixed his eyes on the scrawled ‘‘ Harvey Thatcher and began to tremble ‘*I--maybe something's happened,’ he said in a low voices “Would it be som s done died, do you queried Bud ng the old man turn the paper over and over in bewildered helplessness The freighter had drawn near, at- tracted by the dramatic nature of the situation Bud re ckon ii Let s open it agreed that this was the course of action to pursue and the rec Ipient finally yi Ided to pressure Uncle Harve’s sight was so blurred by a sense of impend ing disaster that for a long minute he was unable to grasp the gist of the telegram.

Upon this scene the flunky gazed im- passively. To any one familiar with the stiff formality of his bearing, however, would have been conveyed a suspicion that he was thawing toward Uncle Harve; and this in spite of the fact that he had been trained in eminently respectable families where beans found themselves but seldom on the menu, and certainly never as the prece de résistance They took a long ride in the motor car next morning and Uncle Harve visited the teeming hives of trade and watched the toilers there giving their life blood to the struggle. At lunch he was dazed and tired “They all seem to worry so,’’ was all he would say. ‘‘There must be a heap of trouble.” ‘They're busy. Foster He returned to the topic of his own accord later. ‘‘ Nothing’s worth worrying over like that. Don’t you ever forget what I say, Kitty Bell. Nothing's worth it. They look so unhappy. And nobody can do much real good in all that rush and noise, It isn’t natural. They must waste lots of time and strength.” “You've about hit it off, Mr. Thatcher,”’ agreed his son-in-law. For two days more Uncle Harve wit- nessed spectacles that appalled and some- times troubled him. Not that these happenings and things were entirely new, but progress had been limitless in twenty years. That period of absence had ren- dered his early environment strange to his sight, so that he saw everything with the eyes of a wondering child. On the third night, after an exhausting three hours in a packed theater where the performance worked up the old man to a frenzy of anxiety, he and Kitty Bell sat in the dining-room whilst Uncle Harve partook of a bowl of crackers and milk she had prepared with her own hands. ‘You must never leave us again. Just think, I'll have you always now.”’ She locked her fingers about his arm, then added in swift reproach: “Oh, why did you ever leave me?” ‘You're too good to me, Kitty Bell. Don't, don't, child,’ said Uncle Harve, his voice shaking Yet, in spite of the many amusements his daughter invented for his entertain- ment, in spite of the delicious hours they spent toge ther in a sweet communion that consis ted often of unconscious silences, in spite, too, of the frequent naps in which he permitted himself to indulge, like a tired man relaxing, Uncle Harve found time hang heavily on his hands For slow minutes he would stand gazing across the wide, tree-lined avenue, with its broad sidewalks, its velvety-green boulevard and trim paths, to the rows of stately, gloomy houses of brownstone and comy russed brick. He would stir his feet restlessly and his eyes would flicker and wander in wistful seeking At these moments he brought himself up with a start; he had been searching for the bald line of the « cap rock out there in that garden street, and for the towering banks of wind-tossed clouds, white against the blue. Again, he would fall to wandering about the huge house, staring at statues and pictures and somberly-magniticent woodwork. A serv- int came upon him, pk - d with feet wide apart in front of a painting of somecowboys roping a grizzly. He was lost in abstrac- tion M ny times the y discovered him thus, and {scurried by with murmured ipology for the intrusion, and wondered and tittered among themselves There ame to him, also, a persistent, burning curiosity to learn of the welfare of the pied steer that haunted Mudcat Creek, and he mentioned this apologetically to his daughter In the afternoon of the eighth day he was doubly preoccupied and uneasy, prowl- ing from roomtoroom. Kitty Bell hovered near, sorely troubled, trying to decide just which one of a dozen sure remedies she would administer for this form of fever He halted in front of the sofa on which sre lay ‘It seems as if there ought to be chil- en here K tty Bell,” he blurted out. ‘The place’ll never be a home without.” Father, don't! Please! Please!’ Kitty Bell sat up, her face gone white. The handkerchief she whipped from her bosom trembled That's all, sir,”’ laughed dr EVENING POST ‘I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I wouldn't hurt you, Kitty Bell—not for all my years to live over again,”’ he said. Sleep came tardily to his daughter that night, and twice she started from bed, persuaded that she heard a noise in his room. His door was shut, and though she listened intently she could detect no movement within. The third time she wakened the shuffling of slippered feet in the hallway was wen Pee Ear », Donning a kimono she stole out, taking care not to rouse her husband. There was Uncle Harve, walking up and down in the moonlight, a bathrobe of Frank’s over his nightgear. He was muttering to himself and tossing his arms, and at sound of the softly-closed door he whirled about and came to meet her. ‘Do you hear it, Kitty Bell? Do you hear the ol’ rascal?” “Hear what, dear? Father, you'll catch your death of cold! Do go to bed. Have you been dreaming?’ “Don't you hear him now? Hark! There he goes. Jim-in-ee, I'll bet that’s a big ol’ coyote. Listen!” His daughter took him tenderly by the arm and led him to the door of his bed- chamber. ‘ There, dear; it’s only Rowdy. He often howls that way,” she said. ‘*What? Only a big ol’ dog?” exclaimed Uncle Harve, and in his tone was deep chagrin. ‘‘Pshaw! I’m getting foolish.” Unresisting, he permitted her to tuck him in as she would a child. At breakfast he was shamefaced and silent, trifling with his food. instead of attacking it manfully as was his wont. Neither Kitty Bell nor her husband referred to the incident, but they held an earnest consultation. She was filled with forebodings. To her these alternating fits of feverish restlessness and brooding bespoke a decljne into senility. It was, of course, to be expected in a man of her father’s years, yet she wept at the mental picture of his pathetic maunderings. Frank had another theory, but this he kept to himself, awaiting deve lopme nts. And he had not long to wait. In the dead of night a timid knock sounded on their door. ‘It’s your father. Shall I answer it, Kate?” he inquired. *“No, let me.”’ She was out of bed in a twinkling and into a silk kimono with immense Japanese dragons coiled in threads of gold. Uncle Harve was on the threshold, in his bare feet, shivering from the intensity of his eagerness. His pale- blue eyes were alight with joy ‘Hark to him, Kitty Bell! Just the same as he does in the hackberry beside the spring. Sh! Listen!” ‘Father, what is it?”’ ‘Doggone his eyes! He's sure a daisy. It’s that ol’ owl. Don’t you hear him too- whoo? Just listen to him too-whoo.”’ She put him to bed again, the old man vowing that the noises of a city were assur- edly confusing, and then she crept back to her own room, silent and miserable. Frank feigned to be asleep, but a convulsive movement of her shoulders brought his head up. She was crying upon her pillow. ** Kate, old girl, I knew it allalong. You can't hold him.” **But we must, we must lose him now.”’ ‘He can come back to see you. But this gets into the blood, they tell me. The waste places are calling, and we'll have to let him go.”’ I can’t bear to Bud Reid and a companion puncher, riding fence on a September day, te through the saccato grass swishing breast- high around Mudcat Creek in the cafion Bursting out of it they sighted the dugout, and Bud shook his head “ to — dinne r for us. He was a wolf on jrijoles, Bux.’ ‘He won't never come back. They tell me his kinfolks is millionaires, Bud. Think of the rascal sleepin’ on feathers an’ eatin’ pies an’ things. Hell, some fellers have all the luck,”’ said Bux gloomily. Of a sudden Bud held up his hand for silence ‘Hark to him. Come on!” he shouted, jabbing with the spurs Oh, play your fife slowly, An’ beat your drum lowly, An’ play the death march As you bear me along. Take me to some valley An’ throw the sod o'er me, For I'm a poor cowboy An’ know I've done wrong. sang Uncle Harve, November 13,1909 $400——$4 00 “NATIONAL” XMAS OFFERS C61 - Ladies’ Pure Linen C62 - Men's Pure Linen Handkerchief Handkerchief Each 19¢, Each 19c, 6 for 6 for $1.00 ’ With any Postage initial except - prepaid and ing 1,0, Q, U, satisfaction V, X,Y, and Z. — In orde * to state i Your money chesrtaiy pated if you are ad any $1.00 fortwoof the most stylish and dainty pieces of the new neckwear.

They grieved at the awkward circumstances which prevented them from burying their youngest member with fitting ceremony. The society had recently been organized at Panther Bayou and its members yearned for their first parade. “‘Jes’ wait till we turn out,’’ they said to the seoffing Children of David. Now and then some brother, sick unto death, would give their hearts a flutter of hope. But all had got well and that gorgeous regalia still lay untouched beneath the altar in their lodge room. Then Pink Redeemer passed. Their spirits bubbled upward and sank again, for, by the heedless manner of his cashing in, Pink had violated every rule of etiquette and put a personal affront upon the society. Aunt Jinsy Moore stopped Sister Mag in the big road. ‘“ Dat nigger warn’t no credit to de s'ciety, nohow.’ Sister Mag set down her bundle of clothes and considered the glittering ¢ voll ir of red and gold whic h she wouldn’t have chance to wear ‘Dat’s jes’ like Pink, Aa git mixed up in some sech scrape as dat. Warn’t no settin’ up, an’ no sick benefit, an’ nobody eould turn out to de funeral.” Aunt Jinsy stuck her arms akimbo: ‘Whut you reckon we gwine ter do when dat tombstone comes ? Dey ain't no place won't fit nowhar to put it; dat stone jes’ Don't you remember I war ‘posed to ‘lectin’ Pink in de s'ciety ?”’ The two women hushed, for they saw a string of negroes coming down the dusty road toward them ‘Huh!"’ remarked Sister Mag; “here comes de Ven’able Gardeen. But who's dat yaller nigger wid de plug hat on?” Aunt Jinsy shook her head and watched the strange negro with the plug hat. *T 'spee’ head leaders o’ de s’ciety comin’ to see Sis Redeemer Dey keeps trailin’ back and forth like ints -but dat ain't doin’ us no good.” Lem Rasberry, the Venerable Guardian, came hobbling along on his bent leg. The man beside him walked erect, conscious of the attention that his shiny hat attracted After them followed three negro men with the solemn step suited to the occasion dat’s one o’ de ‘ Jes’ look at dat,’ grumbled Aunt Jinsy ‘Dat aint no ki nd of a peerade fer le Callies. Huh!” Before the mournful procession res ached them the two women had stepped to one side of the road to avoid three white men n horseback who came from the opposite direction Brother Rasberry then introduced the stranger: ‘‘Sis Moore and Sis Wilkins, dis is Brudder Tap Hawkins, Supreme Treas- irer of de Knights. We’s goin’ to pay Sister Redeemer's policy ‘Dat sho wuz a shame about Pink,” burst out Aunt Jinsy Rasberry clutched her by the arm and whispered: ‘‘Hush! Hush! Dem white foll might hear you [won't do to be talkin’ ‘bout Pink He glanced meaningly at the Treasurer. The white men rode by, nodded pleasantly, and got well out of hearing before Lem dared to speak again. Then he gathered the negroes in a huddled group and whis- | ‘When dese white folks takes a notion to hang a nigger dey don't talk t it elves; an’ you know dey niggers be oratin’ it pered gwine ter let nd. Ef a strange nigger was to come here axin’ questions about Pink jes’ hang him widout sayin’ Boo [Treasurer shut his lips very tight and moved on “Come along, sisters, it’s gittin’ late,” suggested the Venerable Guardian. ‘ We wants you to witness dat Sis Kedeemer’s policy is paid.”’ sister Mag > two women fell into line picked up her bundle and behind the Ever since the night when Lem Ras- ; from cabin to cabin, telling how the white folks hanged Pink in the Panther Bayou Swamp, old Aunt Polly, clad in deepest black, had received visits of condolence. Her veil flowed upon the floor and she scarcely lifted her head from the table. They filed into her front room and solemnly took their seats. “Dis is de Supreme Tre asurer,”’ @X- plained Brothe x Rasberry. ‘‘ He is come to pay yo’ policy.” “Yes, yes,” said the old woman; then remembered to drop her head becomingly upon the table The Treasurer cleared his throat, wiped his specs and took some papers out of his pocket. Then he began his speec *h about the Noble Order of Calacanthus that watched over its members in sickness wiped away the tears of widows, and erected a beautiful tombstone to the mem- ory of each departed brother. Aunt Polly tried to listen patiently; Ras- berry’s furtive eyes watched that packet of papers to see where the money was coming from While the Treasurer eulogized the late lamented, Pink Redeemer himself sneaked out of the woods behind the little cabin and crouched at his mother’s back fence. It was not quite dark enough for him to climb the fence, so he crawled under it and crept on hands and knees down the cotton row toward the stable. Without lifting his head he disappeared into the stabk door. Then he liste ne od and heard a strange voice in the house “De m nigge rs sho do meddle wid ma’s bizness; 'tain't no keepin de house clear of “em.” But Pink had a way to let his mother know. At the stable door an old plowshare was hanging ona wire. For years this had been the bell that Aunt Polly used to sum- mon her husband from the field at dinner- time. She did not need it for Pink, as Pink rarely went to the field and was never late at dinner Pink took up a piece of iron and tapped the plowshare, then stepped back into the stable. He waited, and his mothe r did not appear; so he gave the signal again Pink Redeemer’s call startled his be- reaved mother at a critical moment. The Treasurer was just remarking: “ Il callsyour ‘tention to de fact that it is just eleven days since dis unfortunate young man was called to his reward Dere ain’t no doctor's certificate like de policy calls for, an’ dere ain't no undertaker’s certificate De coroner ain’t held no inques’, dere warn’t noremains. Some o’ de lodges 1 ain't callin’ no names—would make a heap o’ trouble, but we ain’t sayin’ nuthin’. We knows de reason. Our biz- ness Is lo pay, an’ dat’s whut I come here fer."’ With that he reached into his breast pocket and drew out a fat envelope. Then it was that Pink struck his jarring note upon the plowshare. But Pink never did have any tact The clear reverberation jangle d through the room; Lem Rasberry wriggled around in his seat, then got up and edged closer to the Treasurer At the first call Sis Redeemer sprang to her feet, took one ste p toward the money and looked backward out of the window to the stable. The Treasurer proceeded calmly as if no calamity were impending: “It now becomes my pleasant duty to pay into the hands of the Ven’able Gardeen of dis lodge de sum of three hundred dol- lars fer Sister Redeemer ‘ Then the plowshare rang out again. Sis Redeemer gasped. If she didn’t go to Pink, Pink might come to her. If she did go to Pink, old Lem would put the money in his pocket. It was no situation for an honest woman For one crucial instant she hesitated in agony, then blurted out: ‘‘ Hole on, Brud- der Treasurer! Cows in de cornfield. I'll come right back.”’ She waited long enough to see the Treasurer hold tight to the money while Rasberry backed into his chair and sat down. Out of the back door she went and shut it tight behind her. “Huh!” grunted Aunt Jinsy. “ Ain't dat jes’ like Sis Redeemer, spilin’ a nice speech same as Pink spiled de funeral?” Sis Redeemer rushed to the stable and hurled two hundred and fifty pounds of wrath against Pink who stood in the door ‘*Git in dar an’ hush dis fuss EP Cause November 13, 1909 Lightweight PEERLESS Folding ping Tg ble The Ideal Table For Smalt Rooms, Flats, elc., uv ‘here Spac e Is Limited it | i U5 \ } iut ‘ ] tur i} WV it + enough f ul tt st g gh f ny servic S Ss Lightweight P ss Folding D Pat Weighs 22 pounds, s $8 Inches In dlamet S¢ it H On Ss t il 1 3 Many ot tyles f to 48 Examine them at your dealer's.

LINDENTHAL & SONS Style Originators Chicago New York ps) 4 4 | THE SATURDAY EVENING POST OUT-OF-DOORS The Earthworm, Mr. Darwin and the Woodcock or earthworm, as it severally is called, is one of the humblest yet one of the most useful creatures of the outdoor world. No less a scientist than Doctor Darwin himself has devoted a volume to the life and adventures of this pallid, gentle and somewhat wriggly creature. He points out how indispensable it is to mankind, since it keeps the earth perforated after the fashion of a porous plaster and thus lets in the gentle dew of heaven. Without the earthworm we should not have crops, and without crops we should not have any stock exchange, and without the stock exchange we should have neither any government nor any civilization. It would seem that we have been overlooking one of the most important of our infant indus- tries, which, in spite of its importance, has never had any protection at all. The hand of every man and the beak of every bird are turned against the earthworm The learned scientist is credited with exhausting the subject of the earthworm in his treatise, yet he fails to point out one special point of its value. Without the earthworm we should lack the wood- cock, which disputes with the terrapin and the canvasback the place of preéminence before the seats of the mighty. This be- loved and mysterious bird would cease to exist but for the aid and comfort of the yatient worm that is born to blush unseen veneath the soil, except on rainy mornings Without this diet of worms the woodcock would not be able to make a living and would not be good to eat. In the last anal- ysis, as the editorial page says, the earth- worm is not to be sneezed at. Perhaps the woodcock could die eating earthworms if it could get all it wanted, which is something no woodcock ever did In turn we could die eating woodcock if we could get enough of them, which also we never do. They cost from two dollars to four dollars each at fashionable cafés, and some taxidermists will give you two dollars apiece for good specimens, so it may be seen that the species is becoming somewhat scarce. Even in years of plenty this bird has always been mysterious, irregular and impossible to classify. Perhaps Darwin could solve the earthworm, but certainly he could not have done the full biography of the woodeock. The latter is the freak of all game birds. When it disappears it simply vanishes When it comes it does so without warning, silently, mysteriously. Native to all the eastern half of the United States, there is no place where it can regu- larly be found innumbers. Yet very often it lives, unsuspected, neargreat cities. One of the surest woodcock covers of the coun- try is at the edge of a town of over two million people, and there are not a dozen shooters of that city who know it. r VHE common red fishworm, angleworm The Travels of the Woodcock In many parts of the eastern and central states the woodcock finds the low, muddy covers that it prefers and it is better known as a sporting bird there than far- ther to the west, although the mud islands and willow flats of the upper Mississippi at one time held this species in extraordinary numbers. Today it is rarely seen in any great quantities unless a freezing spell in Mississippi and Arkansas drives it down out of its canebrake wintering grounds to the edge of the Gulf At such towns as Biloxi, Mississippi, and points in lower Louisiana they have been slaughtered in hundreds in such flights. As soon as the weather moderates to the north this tem- porary migration turns back again and the visible supply of woodcock is once more lost in the brakes and forests of the warm southern land. In the spring it works back farther north, and its’ breeding grounds may be found almost anywhere north of the Ohio River, provided it has found a piece of country suitable to its own ideas. It must be closely-covered country offering warm, soft mud rather than wet marsh. In short, it must be country where worms can be found from the time the frost goes out of the ground until it appears again in the fall In appearance the woodcock is the wisest and weirdest of all game birds. The rus- sets, reds and browns of its plumage are very beautiful, but its long bill and its big, prominent eye, which is situated directly in the top of its head, give it an aspect in keeping with its mysterious nature. As it flies it can see around it and behind it, and as it passes you close, with its bill folded down well on the breast, not extended like that of a snipe, and its big eye taking in everything that goes on, it is an extraordi- nary sort of thing to witness, like some pre- historic holdover not belonging to this day and age. It is able to see at night and that is almost the only time it feeds, although it sometimes moves out in the early evening to the mud flats of the river. How a woodcock finds the worms in the ground is something no man really knows, not even Darwin. Captive wood- cock have been noticed to make a sort of patting sound on the ground with their feet, and some people in their haste have said that the bird always does this, imitating the sound of rain to decoy the worms to the surface. It would seem a worm of low intellect that could be fooled in that way, but the patting motion of the feet seems well established. It is now known, also, that the tip of the upper mandible can be moved upward and is under the muscular control of the bird. Some think the wood- cock can hear the worm underground, but its methods seem to be more or less em- pirical, for it bores a great many holes. These round holes, with the stain, make what is known as the “‘sign’’ of woodcock, by which the presence of the bird is deter- mined by the cognoscenti. If you examine these round holes you will hardly find one that shows the surface of the earth broken by the pulling out of the body of a worm. Does the wily bird pull the worm out endwise, shifting it in its flexible bill? This deponent saith not. There are a great many uncanny things and unanswered questions about this fowl. The Bird’s Curious Tricks The mud that the woodcock likes must be clean and sweet, not sour ground, and it must be less watery than the marsh fre- quented by jacksnipe. Such cover is most often found under the alder thickets which grow along small streams. Some- times you will find it also in willow flats, but the overflow grounds are not the best. Sometimes you will find woodcock in tall marsh grass, and again you may find them on dry hazel-brush ridges, apparently bask- ing in the sun. There must, however, be feeding ground not far away, and when that ground becomes too cold or too dry the woodcock folds its bill on its bosom and steals away some moonlight night. In its courting time the woodcock ‘is very interesting, as a few lucky sportsmen can attest. It goes up into the air with something of the hurtling sound of the jacksnipe in similar gyrations, and when it alights it sometimes runs and struts forall the world like a little turkey gobbler. One has had them drop almost. within reach in the thick cover and stand there with drooping wings and fanned out tail, wholly comical in appearance. This procedure, of course, is entirely different from the antics of the female woodcock, which will pretend to have a broken wing and will so decoy you away from her nest, just as a grouse would do. The hen wood- cock is larger than the male bird, as is the female of many species of the hawk Another mysterious habit of the wood- cock is the chattering noise that it makes, or sometimes makes, when it takes wing Often this will make you aware of the presence of the bird where otherwise you would not have known of it. It sounds as though made by the vocal organs, but the sharps tell us that it is made by the stiff primaries of the wing beating against the air. At full speed, and in the open, it will nearly always make this noise. This habit is not, however, invariable even with full-grown specimens, and sometimes even in the open the woodcock will fly as silently as an owl, precisely like some wily old grouse which will go off like dynamite in front of you, but which will sneak away silently if it thinks you have passed by without seeing it There are no two opinions as to the toothsomeness of the woodcock on the November 13,1909 Nothing else gives such life and = staying quality to a roofing as Trinidad Lake asphalt.

Instead, you will go to bed right now. Come!” That great grasp tightened on my shoulder and lifted me from my chair. Once again I had been humiliated. ‘Look here, Professor,’’ I exclaimed, “T am not a child, to be treated in this arbitrary manner. I do not want to go to bed now. I shall not.” “Yes, you will,”’ answered the Professor “You will if you sleep here at all. If you choose you can go down to the village and stay up all night, but not here. It is bed- time here and you must obey the rules.” **But,”’ I began, ‘it is intolerable ‘*My dear sir,’ broke in the Professor, “T have been here for years, making over men who, by their own follies and their own neglect of the commonest laws of Nature, have either wrecked the physical machines that God gave them, or let them run down.

Inasmuch as he had put it on those grounds | did not want to be too unkind with him I discovered when I reached my room that to go to bed wasn’t so much of a hard ship as I had thought. I had been asleep about ten minute it seemed when I heard a big voice in the hall shouting Half past six! I heard men scrambling out of bed all around me Still, I was too comfortabk and a bit lame, and I turned over, deciding to take another nap of half an hour or so Two minutes later the Professor. majes- tic ina bathrobe, put his head in the door ‘Get up! he ordered **T don't care to,”’ I said ) about half an hour.” That big hand came over and took me by the shoulder ‘Get up! Well, of course, it was tough to be ordered about in that manner, but I got up and hurried to the exercise hall, where the squads were already at work The Professor was there doing the stunts, perfect physically, alert mentally, the em- bodiment of grace and power One. two three My toes were there, waiting for my) fingers I swooped down on them Marvel of marvels” I touched them!

Commencing with the ground, the im- portant things to be considered are its dimensions, the length of frontage on streets and alleys--and frontage is to be subdivided into primary frontage and sec- ondary frontage. The former must be taken to mean, for all buildings that stand on corners, the extension of the building on the busier street of the two; the second- ary frontage is the extension on the less busy of the two streets. In deciding the primary and secondary frontage there comes in a long list of things that must be taken into consideration: the sidewalk traffic, whether there are street cars-—-and street cars are great business builders, worthy, as such, of an article to them- selves. Then comes the traffic in wagons, carriages and automobiles. And, finally, the mental condition of the traffic - are the passers-by in a purchasing state of mind or are they on a cross street, hurrying to the main thoroughfare ? The Streets Where People Buy It is a peculiar trait of the human intel ect that when bent upon general shopping the mind generally becomes centered upon one thoroughfare or a locality where shops ire largest and most numerous. Peopk will hasten along the side streets, giving ‘omparatively little attention to such es- tablishments as exist there; but when the hopping center is reached the pace is lackened and the mind turns to the ques- tion of buying. The people wander up and down the principal shopping streets, creat- ng the human congestion which gives to property on a principal retail thoroughfare value beyond that existing upon any street that intersects it Other general questions concern the size of the building, the area of the floors, the umber of stories, the height of these tories and of the building itself, the style of construction and its comparative ex- travagance and economy, the area of the yurt, the total of non-revenue-producing irea and it must always be remembered that it costs as much to ¢ - ate space that vill be unrentable as to build are: th at will produce revenue. Then comes, finally, the net area that can be rented, and naturally this must be as great as possible r the building as a whole, the Ly pe in every Way 18 a structure that will occupy the ground from street corner to street corner and extend back to the alley on both cross streets This will give the building the earning power of two corners and three street Consider most de frontages, will admit the maximum of natural light, and will minimize the loss of rentable area by light courts, elevator hafts and stairways The value of the rentable area of the round floor of a building may be divided into six grades, and their proportional rentals per square foot would be about as follows 1n a city of 100,000 peopk rt which is iT pait r Zz far gs street $4.00 lhe thoroughfare it ¢ 2 DO tl ughfar ‘ t ~ >i) i.

Its pur- chaser will simply be paying for the other man’s education in apple culture. But from the experience and the experi- ments of these pioneers the new man should be guided in planning his own orchard. First of all, he may make certain that irrigated fruit growing is not a poor man’s proposition. It is not an undertaking for the man without several thousand dollars in hand. As in every other business, more failures are due to this lack than to any other cause. The proper amount of money varies with each individual, for much de- pends on a man’s willingness to grit his teeth and endure hard living and poor commons until his orchard comes into bear- ing. For the average man from three to four thousand dollars’ capital is essential That will be enough to make a first pay- ment on his land, prepare it, set out the trees, build a livable shack and carry him and the trees through the first and hardest year of preparation In the second year and thereafter he should be able to get a fair living by growing some light crop be- tween the ranks of his young trees. If a market is at hand potatoes are an ideal crop for such planting. They shot ild pay, under irrigation, one hundred ‘doll: irs’ proht to each acre Sometimes men without capital, but who have a good trade, are advised to set out an orchard and let it develop while they earn a living as carpenters or masons. In the opinion of many experts the plan is not a good one. The man who wants big profits from his trees must devote most of his attention to them, even from the first. To the most successful growers every tree in their orchards has a distinct individuality a number, if not a name. Its peculiari- ties are studied and humored, its individ- ual wants supplied, a careful record of its annual vie ld kept The five or six years ot growth before bearing are none too long fora man to get thoroughly well acquainted with his trees Meanwhile, all about him his neighbors are picking the crop from. ade veloped orehards or are doing their best to bring young trees into bearing By watching what they are doing by talking over with them their successe and failures, he will add to his own experience the lessons that they can teach. In this way only, by regular laboratory work in his own orchard, plus the lectures of the leading experts in his district, can the greenhorn hope to win the degree of S. lL. F.

Blue Points— Narragansetts—N orth ports—Chesapeakes—Gulfs- any oyster you like—with a@// of the sea flavor saved. The Sealshipt System embraces cighty oyster shipping: stations.

In hisintercourse with foreign peoples he must re ony sent the nation with dignity and courtesy; he must act with judgment, vigor and decis sion if called upon to protect the country’s interests, and he must accept full responsibility for any action he takes. While there are very few indeed among those officers of the i nited States Navy with the right to wear the silver eagle on the gold bullion of their epaulettes who are not worthy, in the highest sense of the word, of the honorable rank they bear, there are captains—and **happy ship’’—by which the sailor means the general contentment and efficiency of the ship’s company is a pretty sure sign of wise government by the ‘Old Man,” but faults of temperament or a certain lack of tact or judgment on the part of a com- manding officer in the exercise of authority, even though his acts are fully within the bounds of law and the regulations govern- ing the Navy, may make life uncomfortable for his subordinates, and especially so for his officers. He may be a well-meaning man, one who in social relations with his officers is an agreeable host, and yet he may by every word and act in his official c apacity ‘vet on to the nerves” of those under him The results of his technical and scientific knowledge and theory may have proved of great benefit to the service at large, yet he may never have learned the art of handling men. The bully, the petty tyrant, pure and simple, is extremely rare in the naval service of the United States I have known of but one of the sort in command, and that was years ago, and he came to grief in due time. It is the fussy, nervous skipper, or the oceasional man with a disposition to nag and find fault who affects more or less adversely the contentment of a ship’s company. When Billy Butted In There was one such individual who, though in other ways an excellent officer, added to his tendency to scold and complain an inordinate sense of the importance of his rank and of the respect due it One - right Sunday morning, when the ship lay 1 port, after inspection was over and the crew dismissed, the skipper, immaculately arrayed in the white summer uniform of the day, paced, gloved hands clasped behind his back, in lonely dignity to and fro on the starboard side of the quarter- deck He had thoroughly enjoyed his examination of crew and ship, and, always attendance at divine r when the crupulous in his was awaiting the hou hoisting of the white church pennant, the weet, long-drawn bugle summons of church call, should announce that church was ‘‘rigged”’ in the superstructure on the deck. Save for himself, the spruce i officer of the deck, with his mes- engers near the gangway, the captain orde rly two or three men of the watch and the ship's goat, the quarterdeck was deserted, and Sunday quiet prevailed from the turret to the pol at the stern wher » colors floated 3ut even in the peace and repose of the environment the ruling spirit in the “Old Man’s”’ breast knew no rest. Here and there the awning 1 ’s breadth at the » coils of rope on the deck by the stanchion Sap ye or boat davits were not flemished down with mathematic 9 accuracy of curve; every few moments the skipper’s strident voice would call the attention of the officer of the deck to something that, in his chief's opinion, might have been better done thus and so If he saw the ship's goat he gave him no heed, for, even with such an august person- age as the captain, Billy was a privileged member of the ship’s company, and might come and go, at his own sweet will, pretty nearly everywhere about the decks So the goat his long-haired coat fre shly groomed and the gilt on his horns gleaming as the sun cast an occasional glint inward from the edge of the shadow of the awning trotted about unconcernedly apparently aving no more consciousness of the presence than that austere mag- nate showed of hi But mischief w: - brewing mind Whether he thougt I had come to take a fall out of the “Old Man's” pride, or whether the captain's posture, as he paused in his walk and, bending over pointed to some neglected drift of cinder dust in the water- Wa aroused the oat’s combative in- stinct deponent sa eth not Anyhow, and with two or captains.

Don’t you just ask for “underwear,” without mentioning the kind, and doesn't the clerk invanably show you two-piece garments unless you ask for union suits ? That's probably why you wear the old style, uncomfortable two-piece garments. If the clerk doesn’t offer to show you Superior Union Suits next time, tell him you want to see them. Of course, he can't explain how well they fit except in a gen- eral way, but aside from the many items in its favor—as for instance, a lap in the back and crotch that thoroughly covers ; non-stretching buttonholes; sleeves and ankles that neither stretch nor work up— the fit is a tremendously important feature of Superior Underwear. We make only Superior Union Suits and for men only. Don't, next time, just say you want underwear, but ask for Superior Underwear, and see that this label is on it. There are other union suits but only one Superior. It is handled by all first class dealers. If yours happens to be out send his name and we will mail a booklet with samples showing how Superior is made. The Superior Underwear Company 103 River Street Piqua, Ohio

Then the varnish of Paris vanis es, The real rapacity of the foreigners’ attitude to becomes plain. He pays treble, imes what he should pay; either there or before Americans four times and he has five t no redress It is not thus that E irope eats. Once, in garden of Munich, where all the ull of pensive folk listening to the pavilion band take a fall out of Wagner, | chanced to drawn up at one of the were f tables, an old lady with her two daughters. They were all handsomely dressed, the elder woman much adorned with diamonds in her ears and on her fingers. They bought between them one sté in of dunkel, and whi n this had been place d on the table the old lady calmly drew out three rolls, which, as well beer, it is only fair to say, she impartially with her daughters. No one seemed to think it out of the w: ay. I began to see how diamonds are acquired; but Americans who go abroad are not expected to acquire them in that way You were in fora hard time of it from the as the shared moment when you first left the steamer dock on your holy pilgrimage abroad It wouldn't be so bad, after all, if it really arred the Jone vyoman, but it doesn’t.

Meantime, to a calm and dispassionate reason, it seems that if the Jones woman and all the rest of us would go to Asia instead of Europe, we might bring with us more knowledge and, per- haps, in coin. To submit toall these count- less European impositions, of which but very back in few have been enumerated, is an American weakness To invite them by thousands and hundreds of thousands, as we do, is, perhaps, as good an instance as may be had of our national capacity for silliness, , .

wages, salaries, fuel, insurance and damage are called ope rating e xpenses. The fixed charges are interest on the bonded and floating debt, sinking-fund payments, hire of equipment and rentals. Formerly taxes were considered a fixed charge, but under the new accounting system they are part of the operating expenses. The surplus is what remains after operating expenses and fixed charges are paid. Part of it is appli cable to dividends Let us now take up, for the purpose of illustration, the report of the Pennsylvania tailroad Company, which operates the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburgh, for the year ending December 31, 1908. Most railroad reports are for the that ends June 30

The Pennsylvania, like some other roads, is an e owner of the securities of other extensiv roads, and the income from its investments isa big item. Adding this income and the income from other sources you get what this report calls the income, which amounts to $46 77 From this are dedu icted the fixed charge $18,370,234, leaving a net income of $28 207,661 [ p to this time all expenditures have been mandatory ; now expenses Whi h practic ally lie within the discretion of the company The therefore, that most affect the investor are the appropriations for dividends on and for additions to and the betterment of the road You find that the Pe nns\ lvania has paid out $18,875,680 in dividends six per cent a vear, and has ex- track, terminal facilities quipment and extraordinary expend Other expenses out of including f the which is not always bring the total net income to remaining over 31, i ly the ind is coivled forwal nal a whe and loss At of the previous year the amount to the gross ROL you come to the ones stock pended on grade s improvement. of item i temeed*™ ture $4,538,080 the net principal of car trust deduc Kindred income, portion ( point rom the amount verted f actual irplus ¢ close
