Bay, on the level, this old burg hasn't been worked tin like this since the time It was discovered that Minneapolis had the most people and a recount was demanded. Just think of It! Six hundred and ninety ora tors, wth Tart and Teddy at the head of the list, and Olff Plnchot, Jimmie Garfield nnd Jim Uill bringing tip the rear guard. It has been an awful train on us, but we have the rest of the winter to ge: over It In. One thing; you've got to slip it to the committee on ar rangements for the way the stage was set. That tart of the management was just about right, and If Glff I'lr. chot doesn't sleep well for n little while after he gets awav from here. It will not be be cause he didn't hear 1 Imseif well talked of. It was kind of tough on some folks who came here. A lot of governors from out west, like Wyoming and Mon tana and Washington, had the mistaken idea that they knew something of the needs of their states, ami what tin folks at home wanted. Dll on'-the first day. hollering for monument for Glff the Great, the man who invented cdnservation, . and" followed It up the next time he Went to bat by suggesting a smaller one for T. R,, who Is also sup posed to be a conserver. This put his nibs from Kansas In right. But that Isn't the Idea. Wf humped off the push who thought they were going to cut In and sidetrack the boom fur the cleverest little bunch of conervers that ever sat around a. table and figured it all out. They don't know Just where they are going, but they are on the way. It wilt be a grand, glorious day for the world and all when we get our platform adopted. The idea Is that the folks now here must worry along somehovy, In order that we may conserve everything for those who are to come after us. , it would be a burning shame If we should use anything now that might be of service to sumubody wlio may Inhabit this neck of the woods In siy three or four hundred years front now, atd that Is what we have to go to look forward to. Don't burn a stick of wood, or chop down a tree, or set fire to a lump of coal, for, if you do, you may be depriving some un born son-of-a-gun of his right to conserve It. Just think what we would have had by this time In the way of limber and hickory nuts, and soft coal and kero sene oil. and water power and all the other blessings of life, It our ancestors hadn'l been so careless and used It all up. It's most stupendous. this thought. And when we stop to think of how we have ciit liined our ancestors for their w astefullness, Is it possible that we tan willully expire ourselves to the likelihood of they? Well, I reckon not. When they found out how 'lttle they really knew, why !hey just went home, and the :ongresa went right on ta'k ng. just the same as If they ladn't been there. One governor here knew his business.

To say that Red Cap at the , Union station Is no respecter of persons wouldn't be just, right, though his most recent action had that negative ele ment In it. Red Cap Is more particularly rto respecter of lunches. ' . The young railroad official overlooked several persons eat ing lunch fn the station wait ing room contrary to rules set forth on signs through the room. A word, from the sta tion master Set him to Increas ed activity.. He gazed round the room with a grim serious ness for further, offenders, and keyed himself to the stern duty of correcting them. All the inspection revealed to Red Cap was a woman feeding a baby In the old but uncon ventional rnahher. Red Cap squared himself and walked briskly over to the woman and child. "Madam, " he said, sternly, "do you see that sign up there?" The astonished woman fol lowed his direction and read this sign: "Do not eat lunch In-waiting room." Very, much cast down the woman Inter rupted her baby and complied with Red Cap's Inferred com-' mand. The rules were en forced, but a very disturbing squall .from a small pair of lungs was the cost. Itesentetl Vet having others talk about us In the same way? Terlsh the thought; let us cease at once our onslaughts on the few things that are left, and save 'em all for the unborn millions who are to In habit this country in after years. And let us hand down to them an example that may Inspire them to similar effort' By doing this, It Is not Im possible that In time the sur face of the I'nlted Ptates will again be covered with timber as it was iu the beginning; that the poiir beasts of the Woods will have places to hide, and that the faunal naturalist of r.'IO will nut have to go to , Africa, lo have his fun.

KB I I 1 1 1 VWM yi in 111 a. 1 cr w rr . 1 1 1 1 1 The Individual Car Owners Association of the t'nlted States Is now In session at Cleveland. O., Some four hundred firms and corporations owning special equipment cars of various kinds are represented In the membership of this association. They I own approximately aon.rmo cars. Little Is j Known 01 tins organisation ry me neueiai public, and yet the achievements of Its members affect the entire nation. They have changed the whole trend of the meat business In the I'nlted States; they have wrought a revolution In the fruit Industry of the country; they have accomplished re markable changes In the vegetable-growing business of the nation; and they have made osslble things undreamed of a century ago. In recent years much has been written about the wickedness of the private car Ines of the country and the evils they have brought about. Yet they were born of sheer necessity. When Gustavus Swift started his packing business In Chicago, he found It Impossible to market his meats In the east owing to lack of suitable trans portation facllltites. The railroads were transporting the live cattle from the prair ies to the eastern markets, and ns the traffic In live cattle gave them about 1(W per cent more business than the traffic In dressed beef, they were, of course, not hasty In welcoming the Idea of changing from the transportation of cattle td the hauling of beef. Furthermore, feeding sta tions had been established all along the lines of the railroads where the cattle were removed from the cars and fed enroute. Th people who were Interested In these feeding stations were no more friendly to the Idea of dressed beef transportation than were the railroads. It was very fortunate for Mr. Swift and for the future history of the beef Industry that there was one line running to New York which was too circuitous for the hauling of live cattle. That line was the Grand Trunk railway, and as It had no cattle traffic It was glad enough to get the dressed beef business, provided It did not have to furnish the equipment necess ary to hauling this class of freight. It agreed that If the specially designed cars required for the business were furnished by the shippers, It would be glad to route them over Its line. In that agreement was born the private enr line of the United Slates. After the Grand Trunk began hauling dressed beef the other roads Were glad to follqw suit. The same sort of condition prevailed when the Standard Oil people wanted to rhip the r oil In tank cars, and also when ihe fruit growers and the stock men wa.ited tJ call into service special equipment. In every case the railroads refused 1.0 furnish the special cars required In the different lines of business. In one sense tti 3 history of the private car really goes back furthvr than the beginning o ftlio dressed beef Industry. When railroads tlmtSvere built It was Intended that they should be cpei ated on the turnpike or toll-road principle. All users . thereof were to furnish their own cars, and the railroad company was to- charge a toll for passing over Its line. In the earliest iliiys of railroading the cats were drawn to hoises.' Then th'i loomutUe became a Substitute for the horse, and for a while, two tolls were levied;' the one for the use; of the road, and the other for the use of the motlvo power. It soon was found thnt such a plan of operation was ottt of the question, tho average rail road train of that day looking like a verit able, Noah's Ark of vehicles, nil shape and sizes, and In all degrees rif repair. So the railroads took over the cars of all snippets and the private car was dead for the time being. . Later on, as the Star of Kmpire passed westward across the Alleghehles, and on toward the Rocky niouniulnS ahd the Pa cific ocean, there was found to be a great demand for through frelgnt service. No railroad could give such 'service, as each was but a small link In a long chain of little lines. Such railroad facilities as through routes and Joint rates were as yet unheard of, ahd the shipper had little recourse for the unusual damages arising from the very frequent trans-shlpmcnr of goods from one line to anot'ier on their Journey from the west to the east. The 1 ail- roads were unwilling lo be the pioneers In the establishment of through joules and joint rates, and It fell to the slippers them selves to organize such routes and rates, through the operation of pri vately owned fart freight llnel. After awhile the railroads saw tint the fast freight lines were making more money out of the business than they were, so they took over these lines and operated them on a co-operative baRis, the lines being distinguished by the colors of their cars, such as the orange, blue, red ind white lines. So far as Is known the earliest ettempt to make a refrigerator car was oil the Astringents May Sometimes Take the Place of Face Powder A special request I have Just received, Which Seems to me to be of genera! Interest, is, How shall one avoid the use of powder on the face? To tell the truth, few women can get along without powder in some form, and there Is not the slightest objection to It If one Is chosen that Is simple In com position. If the application Is washed off at night and the face always cleansed be fore retiring the pores will remain un clogged and the skin smooth. It Is only when powders having lead and other In jurious ingredients are used habitually and permitted to remain on that the complexion Is harmed. Yet when there Is a deeply tooted prejudice against powder dally ap plications of pronounced astringents some times act aa substitutes by neutralizing the natural oil of the skin. But in order to apply any such liquids successfully a woman murt study her face carefully and know which part requires it. If the nose Is not greasy It sometimes follows that the cheeks near It and the chin may be, while the outer edge of the cheeks and the fore head are dry. A strong astringent. If put over thoss naturally dry sections, will sim ply act to give them a chapped appearance, because there Is no oil In those regions to require neutralizing. Therefore the nose Is not to be tieated, but only the skin near It. The most pronounced astringent I know Is saturated solution of borax. It Is made by almost filling a bottle with clear water and then putting In all the powdered borax that the water can be made to dissolve. There Is no fear of adding too much borax, for what cannot be taken up by the water Will mtnaln a, powder In the bottom. This liquid may be perfumed if one wishes. . It is applied to tlu skin with a soft bit of line 11 or muslin and dries on. Should It not sgres the skin will become chapped. Mlrhigan Central railroad In the sixties. Ordinary box cars were flllsj with ) tanks and catch basin nnl perishable goods were shipped In theni. In IVt? the Pennsylvania railroad had thirty box cars refitted with double sMos and the Spaces between these sides were ftllel with saw dust, making a huge Ice box on wheels. The first patent on a refrigerator car Wis Is sued to J. It. Sutherland of Detroit. Mich., November 2i, M. In the next year 1. W. Davis, also of ltnst, patented the Davis car, and In lS-y shipped the first load of Chicago dressed beef to New York. The first attempt to ship fruit In refriger ator boxes was In lssti. Parker Karle of Cobdert, 111., was the experimenter. In ISt he shipped several carloads of penches, but they were spoiled In transit.. The following year he built a pre-coollng station on his fruit farm and later tpade many success ful shipments. This pre-coollng station Idea has laid dormant for more than a third of a century, and Its recrudesence In Cali fornia during the present fruit sesson marks what Is believed ly fruit men td be the most Important event iu the history of perishable freight 'transportation since the beginning of the refrigerator car. Under methods heretofore obtaining cars loaded with fruit were Iced at the Initial point, re quiring from three to four days to bring the temperature of the cargo to the neces sary point for safe shipment. During this time, If the fruit wore not pulled a little green, It would become over-ripe. The result has been that the consumer Is forced to eat fruit artificially ripened. Anyone who has eaten bananas, oranges or other fruits that were ripened on the tree knows how much sweeter and better they are than those which were pulled before ripe. Under the pre-coollng methods which are now be ing used again, the whole world In the fu ture may enjoy the luxury of naturally ripened fruit, although It has to be shipped 1.000 miles or more. ,Vnst supplies of cold nlr are forced Into the car until Its contents have a proper temperature. Icing follows and the car Is sent on Its way. Stock cars were owned pvlvitteiy ns far back as the seventies. In 1MS3 an exposition of transportation equipment was held In Chicago and many "palace live stock cars" were exhibited. Among them was the Mather car, Invented by A. C. Mather, and now the leading type of stock car In the United States. Mr. Mather was on a trip to the east. In which his train was wrecked. While waiting to resume his Journey he saw a carload of cuttle in which some four or five were deild and a half doxen so badly injured that they could hot stand. This suggested to him tlw need of a stock car which would permit the humane transpor tation of cattle and other stock, end when ho had perfected such a car he took It to the raldroads, but they refused to buy his patent. It was only by having the ran built and used as a private line that he was successful in getting tho stock cars Into the rullway service. The average compensation of tho private car lines throughout the country Is three rourths of a cent a mile for the distance covered by a car, whether tunning empty or . loaded. It Is figured out that the average car of the special equipment variety runs about 100 miles a day1 throughout tho year. It will be seen from this that the revenues of the private car lines, aside from the re frigerator car service amount to about 73 cents a day per car. In the case of the refrigerator lines extra charges are made for the Icing of gobds In transit. Many lines of railroads are beginning to operate their own refrlgeiator cars.' The Sante Fe and the Harrlman lines have taken the leadership in this particular. .U Is ad mitted, however, that the averagu railroad cannot maintain Its own refrigerator cat service, since the period In which It could operate such a strvlce profitably Is limited to the comparatively short fruit season In the territory covered by the line. The aver age refrigerator car costs about 1,100, and would be a dead Investment to the average railroad for more than half the year. The reduction in transportation charges incident to the installation of the refrigerator car service has been so gteat that where the charges on California fruit to New York a quarter of a century ago Was 7 cents a popnd It Is now less than I cent. Great losses often are sustained by the, private car lines. A few years ago one line undertook to handle the North Carolina berry crop. Because of the fact that Its supply of cars ran about half a day behind the demand, much fault whs spoiled and the car line paid out $75,000 In claims. In another case this car line filled all of its Georgia Ice houses with ice from Maine In anticipation of a big peach crop, but a late frost destroyed the crop and the entire supply of Ice was a dead loss to the car owners.
