THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA. CAm
Railroads and Progress.
In his testimony before the senate
committee on interstate commerce at
Washington, on May 4, Prof. Hugo R.
Meyer, of Chicago university, an, ex
pert on railroad management, made
this statement:
"Tt lift lrvnk at what Tniffht have
happened if we had heeded the protests
of the farmers of New York and Ohio
and Pennsylvania (in' the seventies
when grain from the West began pour
ing to the Atlantic seaboard) and acted
upon the doctrine which the Interstate
Commeace commission has enunciated
time and again, that no man may be
deprived of the advantages accruing to
him by virtue of his geographical posi
tion. We could not have 'west of the
Mississippi a population of millions of
' people who are prosperous and are great
consumers. We never should have
seen the years when we built 10,000
and 12,000 miles of railway for there
would have been no farmers west of
the Mississippi river who could have
used the land that would have been
opened up by the building of those rail
ways. And if we had not seen the
years when we could build 10,000 and
12,000 miles of railway in a year, we
- should not have today - east of the
Mississippi a steel and iron producing
center which is at once the marvel
and the despair of Europe, because we
. could not have built up a steel and
iron industry if there had been no mar
ket for its product.
"We could not have in New Eng
land a great boot . and shoe industry;
we could not have in New England a
great cotton milling industry ; we could
- not have spread throughout. New York
and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufac
turing industries of the most diversified
kinds, because those industries would
have no market among the farmers
west of the Mississippi river.
"And while the progress of this
country, while the development of the
agricultural West of this country, did
mean 'the impairment of the agricul
tural value east of the Mississippi river
that ran up into hundreds of millions
of dollars, it meant incidentally the
building np of great manufacturing in
dustries that added to the value of this
- land by thousands of millions of do!
lars. And, . gentlemen, those things
were not foreseen in the seventies. The
statesmen and the publicmen of this
country did not see what part the agri
cultural development of the West was
going to play in the industrial develop'
ment of the East. And you may read
the decisions of the Interstate Com
merce commission from the first to tbe
last, and What is one of the greatest
. characteristics of those decisions? The

And if we shall give to the Interstate

rates regulated on the statesmanlike
basis on which they have been regu-
lated in the past by railway men, who
really have been great statesmen, who
really have been great builders of em-
pires, who have had an imagination
that rivals the imagination of the
greatest poet and of the greatest in
ventor, and who have operated with a
courage and daring that rivals the
courage and daring of the greatest mil
itary general. But we shall have our
rates regulated by a body of civil ser-
vants, bureaucrats, whose besetting sin
the world over is that they never can
grasp a situation in a large way and
with the grasp of the statesman; that J
they never can see the fact that they
are confronted with a small evil ; ex-1
cept by the creation of evils and abuses
which are infinitely greater than the
one that is to be corrected.

"One hundred and ninety-one," she
repeated, then referred to her cata

you pronounce it, what's that?"
"Why, spaniel's head, of course," ex

UQN INVADED THE CAMP.
An Exciting; Early Morning- Adventure
in a Somaliland Jungle. .
When In Somaliland, Africa, I had
an exciting adventure with a black
maned lion," writes a correspondent
in the London Chronicle.- "I had in
tended to reach a village one night,
but it was getting dark and we were
couple of hours' march, off; so, find
ing an old zareba or thorn inclosure,
we went Into It This zareba covered
half an acre. It was only about four
feet high and four feet thick, the
thorny branches composing it having
sunk down and fallen apart
"We repaired about 100 yards of it
pitched our tent and the cook got his
fire lighted, gave me some dinner and
turned In. Our nineteen camels all
squatted In a circle to the right of the
tent our horses were tethered near to
them and our twenty-one men lighted
three or four fires, cooked their food
and lay down to Sleep around tbe
camels. We also had five donkeys
tethered to two or three saplings;
which were growing about two paces
in front of the tent and, therefore, to
ward the center of the zareba.
About 2 o'clock in the morning
was awakened by two feeble brays,
followed by a third. Lighting a candle.
tumbled out in my pajamas and got
hold of my rifle and a couple of car
tridges, to. meet the Somali hunters
shoving their woolly.; heads through
the tent door, saying . 'Waraba!'
(hyena). Deep growls were going on
and I at once felt sure that It was no
hyena, but a Hon In the zareba. Fortu
nately, the camels did not stampede,
It was pitch dark, but I saw that
one of the five donkeys tethered in
front of the tent was gaztng intently
toward the left and center. The other
four had disappeared In the center of
the zarbeea, which, however, I found
in the morning to be simply a mass
of old dried thorn branches, so the
six -or eight shots I fired at it in the
darkness did little harm. The . men
were now bushing the fires and the
cook supplied four or five of the men
with sticks and with kerosene rapidly
made some torches. I then noticed that
the donkey was gazing more to the
left of the center and, guided by the
growling, which was going on continu
ously, I crept on my hands and knees
past the donkey for a couple of yards,
The men with the torches were then
a little behind my right shoulder.
Suddenly the torches named up
brightly, and the light being behind
me somewhat I was not dazzled by it,
but saw the lion dragging off a don
key. It did not take me more than
one second to snap both barrels at
him and his growls at once ceased,
After putting in two more cartridges
and having the torches retrlmmed we
again advanced to find the lion lying
on his side, giving a few expiring
gasps. His nose touched the donkey
throat, a trickle of blood flowed down
from under his left eye, and as I after
ward found he had got my second
bullet In the nape of the neck."
WHEN THE CZAR WAS A BOY,
He Had to Study the Same aa Other
Boys.
The Emperor Nicholas and his two
brothers, George and Michael, were
educated entirely by private tutors un
der the direct superintendence of their
father and mother. In the magnifl
cent Anitchkoff Palace on the Nevsky
Prospekt a bare, unearpeted room was
assigned as the school room of the im
perial children. Its furniture consist
ed entirely of wooden desks and
benches, and the. walls were decor
ated by pictures cut from the foreign
illustrated papers and pasted there by
the boys themselves,
The boys were sent to the school
room immediately after an early
breakfast and not allowed to leave it
until noon. The afternoon was theirs
for play, but the morning hours had
to be devoted to study.
They were taught but little mathe
matics and, In fact, their whole educa
turn consisted, practically of modern
languages, drawing, music and Rus
slan history. . Of the history of other
countries they were taught more as
they grew older, but the most they got
of general history waa a mere smat
tering after all. The result is that
aside from his knowledge of modem
languages the Czar Is not so well edu
cated as the ordinary school boy of
America.
The Grand Duke George was near
er the age of .Nicholas than his broth
er Michael and was his companion in
all sports and studies. George was
stout, robust youth, and "Nicky" al
ways looked up to him and regarded
everything he did as just about right
His death nearly broke the heart of
his brother. ,
The other brother, the Grand. Duke
Michael, being the youngest child, was
always the favorite of his mother. At
15 Michael was made colonel of a reg
iment of Russian Infantry and proudly
put on his 'Uniform and reviewed his
regiment
Nicholas and George also had titles
of honor as commanders In the army
and navy, of Russia, and were provided
with gorgeous uniforms. Nicholas liked
to wear his uniform, but hated to go
to reviews and other functions where
there were soldiers.. If possible, he
would steal away somewhere and
would be found quietly sketching at
time when the heir of the empire was
wanted to sit on horseback before the
army. The young general of 13 often
had to be punished before he would
go to a review and he had many
good crying spell when he was told to
put oh his uniform and go out and
play soldier before the nation.
