TO HER.
She la rnanrlned in my heart,
A tr«aaureil memory.
In all I ain she has a part.
And will have— till I die.
When hoar frost docka the treei, and all

Upon her name I softly call—
She dearly loved the snow.
O holy love! that sanctifies
Our common earthly lives.
It la thy power that death deflea.
And through all time survives.

entire country, north and south, east and west, 80 per
cent, or 170,000 of the 215,000 miles, has been con
structed since the close o f the Civil War. In 1830
there were but 23 miles of railway In operation In the
United States; In 1850 the mileage had grown only to
9.021 miles. In 1870 there were 53,000 miles. In 1880
this had Increased to 93,250 miles, In 1889 to 163.500
miles, and In 1900 It had reached 193,500 miles.
To-day, If second, third and fourth tracks and yards
and sidings be Included, there are 300,000 miles of
track.
Competition between carriers by rail, which formerly
prevailed and acted as a check or restraint against un
reasonable rates, has been to a great extent suppressed
and destroyed.
About one hundred persons control the boards of
directors of railroads whose commercial value exceed*
Ik) per cent of the total, and whose earnings amount to
00 per cent o f the total gross earnings of the railways
of the United States.
In the short period of seven years the freight traffic
has doubled, while the passenger traffic has Increased
by about 75 per cent.
How gigantic Is the business can be readily seen
from the fact that an increase o f one mill per ton on
the traffic o f last year would have produced $174.522,-
