THREE DAILY TRAINS BETWEEN
OGDEN AND DENVER.
The increase in transcontinental
travel by way of Salt Lake City in con
sequence of the scenic and other attrac
tions of the route, has recently justified
the Rio Grande Western Railway in
connection with the Denver & Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland Railroads
says the Salt Lake Tribune, in estab
lishing a triple daily fast passenger
service between Ogden and Denver.
All of these trains are equipped with
the latest appliances, improvements and
cars. This road now operates through
sleepers between Chicago, Ogden and
San Francisco, also a perfect dining car
service. Send 2c postage for literature,

MEN OF EUROPE COMPELLED TO
BE SOLDIERS.
Precious Tears of Golden Youth Spent
in Military Service by Helpleaa Men
What Conscription Means to the
Breadwinners Abroad.
In Germany, France, Russia, Aus
tria and Italy every able-bodied man
must expect to give from twenty-one to
twenty-nine years of his life to soldier
ing, his service commencing at ages
ranging from 17 years in Germany to
21 years in France and Italy.
At the beginning of each year lists
are prepared throughout Germany of
all youths who have reached the pre
scribed age, and during spring the Re
cruiting Commission makes a visiting
tour of all the headquarters of the vari
ous districts, where the youths are
mustered for inspection.
All who are physically unfit for ser
vice are finally rejected, and those who
are still physically unripe for it are put
back for a year. Men who, though
strong and healthy, fail to reach the
requisite standards are passed into the
Ersatz reserve, together with those
who are sons of widows or the support
of their families, and from those who
are passed as fit for service the re
quired number is selected by ballot. Of
the recruits certain privileged men of
birth and education are only called up
on to serve one year in the regular
army on condition that they pass cer
tain examinations and pay the cost of
their equipment, while the remainder
are expected to serve three years In the
ranks, followed by four years in the
reserve. The next five years they spend
in the first levy of the Landwehr, and
they are then passed into the second
levy until they reach the age of 39.
In France military service begins at
21 and lasts for twenty-five years, with
similar exemptions from service and
limitations to one year in the ranks
to those sanctioned in the German
army.
The French conscript must spend his
first three years of service in the reg
ular army, followed by seven years in
the army reserve. He is then passed
Into the territorial army for six years,
and the remaining nine years are spent
In the reserve of the territorial army,
which is called out only in case of abso
lute necessity.
A man's service In the ranks may be
reduced to one or two years according
to the number he draws in the ballot.
Army reserve men have only eight
weeks of drill, while the territorial
army is only called on for a period of
fourteen days.
In Russia the conscription takes
place every year In the months of No
vember and December, when the re
quired recruits are selected by lot.
Olerymen of all churches are exempt
from service, while Mohammedans and
the inhabitants of certain districts in
Asia can substitute payment for ser
vice; and some of the higher classes
may reduce their term of service in
the ranks under certain conditions.
Service begins in the twenty-first
year and lasts for twenty-four years,
of which five years are spent in the
ranks and thirteen in the reserve. On
finishing service In the reserve the sol
dier is passed Into the militia, where
he spends the remainder of his period
of service.
In Italy a youth Is liable for service
when he reaches his nineteenth birth
day, and is only exempt when he reach
es his fortieth birthday. None but those
physically unfit for service are abso
lutely exempt, but sons of widows and
sole supporters of families are passed
Into the militia without being called
on to serve in the army ranks.
Army recruits are divided into two
classes, of which the first division
spend from three to four years in the
ranks; the next five years are spent on
furlough, succeeded by four years' ser
vice in the mobile militia and seven
years in the territorial militia.
Members of the second class of re
cruits must spend twelve years In the
army, more than half of which is usu
ally spent on furlough, and the re
mainder of their service is spent In one
branch or other of the militia until the
limit of age Is reached.
In Austria the only exemption is In
favor of the physically unfit, and even
they are required to pay a sum, propor
tioned to their means, Into the army
pension f nud. Service begins at 19 and
lasts for twenty-three years, of which
three are spent in the line and seven in
the reserve. Cincinnati Enquirer.
PORTABLE FALSE WORKS.
Handy Piece of Mechanism that Expe

The false work shown in the accom

means of the drum of Its engine over

As the cut shows, the frame is on

the girder by means of a tackle, to a
height sufficient to clear the temporary
trestle and loaded car, and placing this
girder on the opposite side of the tres

RULES FOR HORSE TRADERS.
Memphis Man Who Could Give David
Harnm Points on the Business.
David Harum was a good horse trad
er, but a recent transaction in horse
flesh which was made by a well-known
Memphian shows that there are otb
ers who know how to get the long end
of a horse trade. Several weeks ago
this Memphis man saw a fine buggy
horse which he thought he wanted. He
located the owner and asked the price.
"One fifty," was the reply. After look
ing the animal over closely and trying
her speed he concluded It was a good
trade, and without more ado wrote a
check for the amount. The next day
he found that the mare was as blind as
a bat, but this did not hinder her speed
nor detract from her general appear
ance. He drove the animal for several
weeks and succeeded in attracting the
admiration of another lover of horse
flesh, who made a proposal to pur
chase.
"Well," said the Memphian, "1 gave
one fifty for her, but I will let you
have her for one sixty-five."
The prospective owner looked the an
imal over and concluded he had a bar-
bain. He paid over the money and
took the mare. When the animal was
unhitched the first thing she did was
to run against a post and then, by way
of emphasizing the fact that she was
blind, fell over a barrel. The next day
the buyer came back to the Memphian
with blood in his eye.
"Colonel, you know that mare you
sold me," he began. "Well, she's stone
blind."
"I know It," replied the colonel, with
an easy air.
"You didn't say anything to me about
It," said the purchaser, his face red
denlng with anger.
"Well, I'll tell you," replied the colo
nel. "That fellow who sold her to me
didn't tell me about It, and 1 just con
eluded that he didn't want it known.'
The new owner took his medicine
and is now on the lookout for a friend
on whom he can even things. Memphis

New Train Service on the O. It. A N.
The double train service just estab
lished between Portland and Chicago,
in which the O. R. ofe N., the Union
Pacific and the Oregon Short Line are
interested, shortens the through time
11 hours. Train No. 2, leaving Port
land at 9:15 A. M., daily, is known as
the Chicago-Portland special. Its
equipment is' new, making it fully the
equal of any train now in service from
the Pacific coast to the East. It con
sists of a mail car, baggage car, a library-composite
car, a first-class Pullman
sleeper, a dining car, two chair cars
and a tourist sleeper. There is but
one change of cars to all Eastern points.
The full time is three days through to
Chicago, or four days and two hours to
New York.
The second train, known as No. 6,
leaves Portland daily at 6:20 P. M.,
connecting at East Portland with the
Southern Pacific's overland train from
San Francisco, and carries through
equipment to Chicago via the Union
Pacific and the Chicago & Northwest
ern, and also the equipment for the
Washington division of the O. R. & ".,
in connection with the Great Northern
for St. Paul. This train reaches Spo
kane at 10 A. M. A dining car serves
breakfast into Spokane, and dinner is
served on corresponding train leaving
Spokane at 3:45 P. M. The new sched
ule as arranged, supplies the most
complete service ever furnished on
the O. R. & N., also provides in
creased service in Eastern Oregon,
where it is greatly needed, and gives
immediate connection with the Wash
ington division at Pendleton. At this
point there is a large interchange of
traffic, on account of the "various min
insr districts of Baker county, the Coeur
d'Alene, the Republic and Kootenai
mining camps. Portland is greatly
benefitted by this change, in as much
as increased service is given from East
ern Oregon and Idaho.
No. 2 arrives in Chicago at 9:30 A.
M.; No. 6 at 7:45 A. M., as at present.
The Westbound train out of Chicago,
corresponding with No. 2, is No. 1.
This arrives in Portland at 4 P. M.
The train corresponding with the East
bound No. 6, is No. 3, out of Chicago.
This reaches Portland at 7:30 A. M.
Westbound train No. 1 leaves Chicago
at 6:30 P. M., and Omaha at 8:20 A.
M. the following day. The time is re
duced two hours and 46 minutes. No.
3, Westbound train, leaves Chicago at
10:30 P. M., and Omaha at 4:25 P. M.
the next day.
The service on the Union Pacific on
all these trains includes buffet-smok-ing-library
cars and dining cars. No.
6 carries a daily ordinary sleeper to
Kansas City, with change en route to
ordinary cars to Chicago.

A Well-Kept life.
It requires a well-kxpt life to do the
will of God, and even a better kept life
to will to do His will. To be willing
is a rarer grace than to be doing the
will of God. For he who is willing
may sometimes have nothing to do and
must be willing to wait; and it is
easier far to be doing God's will than
to be willing to have nothing to do it
is easier far to be working for Christ
than it is to be willing to cease. No,
there is nothing rarer in the world to
day than the truly willing soul, and
there is nothing more worth coveting
than the will to will God's will. There
is no grander possession for any Chris
tian life than the transparently simple
mechanism of a sincerely obeying
heart. Henry Drummond.

Strength In Stillness.
Those who make the most noise in
the world are not those who have the
most power in the world. Quiet in
fluences are the potent forces in God's
esteem, and even in man's sight. As
Aubrey Moore says: "Great men
think, while ordinary men talk. Great
saints pray, ordinary men preach.
High-sounding words and showy acts
may impose upon the few, bnt it is si
lent effort which moves the world."
This truth is not held popularly; yet
Elijah learned when he was divinely
shown that God was not to be recog
nized in the whirlwind, the earth
quake, or the fire, as he could be in
"the still small voice." Even this
world's wisdom testifies to the truth
in the adage: "Deep waters run still
est." It is God's voice which says:
"Be still, and know that I am God."
S. 8. Times
Christ for All.
It must never be supposed that the
beautiful words and condescending acts
of Christ were just for Peter, James
and John and their companions. John
is not the only beloved disciple who is
encouraged to lean on the bosom of his
Lord. His love for the family in Beth
any is not a singular love with which
other families have nothing to do. It
is a specimen of his love, rather, in
tended to make glad ten thousand other
families. George Bowen.
Piety in the Home.
Parents must show piety at home;
that is, they must give good example
and reverent deportment in the face of
their children. All signifi- j
cations of love and tenderness, care
and watchfulness must be expressed
toward children that they may look
upon their parents as their friends and
patrons, their defense and sanctuary,
their treasure and their guide. Jeremy

Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, of the Famous
Ohio Family.
Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, deputy
auditor for the war department, in a
letter written from Washington, D. C,
says:
"Allow me to express my gratitude to
you for the benefit derived from one bottle
of Peruna. One week has brought wonder
ful changes and I am now as well as ever.
Besides being one of the very best spring
tonics it is an excellent catarrh remedy."
Very respectfully, Dan. A. Grosvenor.
Hal P. Denton, chief national export
exposition, Philadelphia, Pa., writes:
"I was completely run down from
overwork and the responsibility natur
ally connected with the exploitation of
a great international exposition. My
physician recommended an extended
vacation. When life seemed almost a
burden I began taking Peruna, and
with the use of the fifth bottle I found
myself in a normal condition. I have
since enjoyed the best of health."
Almost everybody needs a tonic in
the spring. Something to brace the
nerves, invigorate the brain, and
cleanse the blood. That Peruna will
do this is beyond all question. Every
one who has tried it has had the same
experience as Mrs. D. W. Timberlake,
of Lynchburg, "Va., who, in a recent
letter, made use of the following words:
"I always take a dose of Peruna after
business hours, as it is a great thing
for the nerves. There is no better
spring tonic, and I have used about all
of them."

Quarreling among the members of
the households is extremely rare in
Japan. This is because the Japanese
eat very little meat. Among great
meat-eaters irritable tempers prevail,
and family disputes are common.
