The railroads of this country are di
vided into five great systems, viz: The
Vandcrbllt, the Pennsylvania, the Mor

writes Charles A. Prouty, member of
the interstate Commerce Commission.
These live systems, together with the
Atchison, the Itock Island and the St
Paul, control about 133,000 miles of
road. Thero are 200.000 miles of rail
road in the United States, but the other
C5.000 miles begin nowhere and end
nowhere and aro absolutely dependent

Is never the sequence of tbe opposite
history. There Is fictitious cheerful
ness, and the real cheerfulness, that
of the heart and the tranaull con

without work or Its equivalent, which
may be generally denned as useful en
deavor. In Its due proportion. It Is the
sweetening of life, which without it
has no honest relish. Cheerfulness is
a positive duty. No negative ono can
take Its place. To be cheerful Is not
necessarily to be unseltlsh. It Is jften
to be seltish In the exalted and alto
gether commendable sense: to be one's
