the absolute strnlehtness of exnrt sci

seemed to touch and the rails them
selves to vanish Into the black heart of
the close growing pines. For miles be
had limned nlon? the nnlnfullv rouch
track without seeing the slightest sign
of any break in the woods or any hu
man being. At last the desire for
sleep had overtaken him. He was a
bardy young Englishman, and a night
out of doors in the middle of June
under these odorous pines presented It
self merely as a not disagreeable ad
venture. Five minutes after the Idea
bad occurred to him he was asleep.
And flow in the gray morning ne
looked out upon a different scene.
Krarcelv a dozen vards from him stood
a single traveling coach of dark green,
drawn by a heavy engine. At inter
vals nf ar-araelv twentv Daces on and
down the line as far as he could see
soldiers were stationed like sentries.
Thov were looking sharolv about In all
directions, and he could even bear the
footsteps of others crashing through
ii wnnd. From the train three or
four men In long cloaks had already
descended. They were standing In the
track talking together.
The" young man behind the bracken
felt himself In somewhat of a dilem
ma. There was a delightful smell of
fresh coffee from the waiting coach,
and there seemed to be not tne sugnt
est reason why he sbonld not emerge
frntn hia hidinir dIscb and claim the
hospitality of these people. He was a
quite harmless person, witn proper cre
dentials and an adequate explanation
of his presence there. On the other
hand, the spirit of adventure natural
to his years strongly prompted him to
remain where he was and watch. He
felt certain that something was going
to happen. Besides, those soldiers had
exactly the air of looking for some
body to shoot.
While he was hesitating somewing
did happen. There was a shrill wnia-
tie, a puff of white emoae in um uw
tance, and another train approached
from the opposite direction. .

Then be came to a station. It was a
little more than a few rows of planks,

"That conductor was a senslblo

him. Hello!"
Tbe station master, In uniform, came
hurrying out. The young Englishman
took off his bat and produced a phrase
book from bis pocket He Ignored the
stream of words which the station
master, with many gesticulations, was
already pouring out
"My luggage," he said firmly, laying
one band upon tbe pile and waving the
phrase book.
Tbe station master acquiesced heart
ily. He waxed eloquent again, but the
Englishman was busy with the phrase
book.
"Hungry! Hoteir he attempted.
Jhe station master pointed to where
the smoke was curling upward from
score or so of houses about half a
mile distant Tbe Englishman was get
ting pleased with himself. Outside was
a weird looking carriage, and on the
box seat was a very fat man la a
shiny hat ornamented by a bunch of
feathers, fast asleep. He ponted to
the luggage, then to the cab and finally
to the village.
"Luggage, hotel,- carriage," he sug
gested. The station master beamed all over.

I Washington Letter
off TTTtTTTf tTTTttf TTTTf Tf
' Washinotox, Apr. 13, 1907.
: Government control of the rail
roads which will be quite aa effec
tive and much cheaper than owner
ship, is . what the Interstate com
merce Commission is now aiming at
and what is quite possibly will ach
ieve. The crux of the matter is in
the appointment of accounting offi
cers who shall be sworn officers of
the government though carried on
toe railroad payrolls. If this scheme
in the general system of railroad ac
counting works out, it will be much
as though-the 'meat Inspectors of
the Department of Agriculture were
paid by the packers instead of being
paid out of a government appropri
ation,. Heretofore one of the most
prolific sources of frauds and yrac-
tial rebating has been in the claims
departments of the railroads which
areaole to -favor certain shippers
and allow claims for damages Which
were in effect nothing but ; rebates.
Now these claims have ' been taken
entirely out of the hands of the
operating officers and put under the
accounting division.! These officers,
after the first of next July, will be
required to make sworn monthly
statements to the Interstate Com
merce Commission and unless they
violate their oaths, which ' is not
considered likely, these reports will
show exactly the state of the rail
road earnings and , expenditures.
Tbe system of all th roads will be
the same and a sharp, line will be1
drawn between legitimate operating
expenses, so called damage claims
and the expenditures for leases,
betterments and extensions, ine
reports are designed to show, and it
is believed will show, exactly ' what
a road is earning, what it is expend-
a a f . .1
ng and now. : Anyone wno reaas
the reports will see just how much
money a toad it earning and what
it is doing with it A road will not
be able to earn 12 per cent and pay
a 4 per cent dividend and cover np
the surplus in "leases" of short lin
es owned by its own officers and
similar subterfuges. How well thi
system of open book keeping will
work or whether tba officials ot
some of the roads will discover me
thods of beating it, can be determin
ed only after a fair trial But it is
believed it will work.
It wDl be tbe middle of the com-
ine- winter before Mr. Harrimancan
be compelled to answer (he ques
tions that were put to bim by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
during the New York bearing.
The Commission decided only this
week to appeal to the circuit court
of New York for a rule to compel
bim to answer. . Tbe questions were
objected to br Mr. , Harriman and
his counsel on the ground that they
were Divine into bis private affairs.
They related to the amount of
money ho made personally ' out of
tbe Alton and the Boutnern racmo
railroad deals. Tbev were rather
personal questions, bnt if be can be
compelled to answer them, it win
probably show that Mr. Harriman,
like Richard Croker was "working
for hia own pocket all the time".
If this can be clearly brought out,
it will show Mr. Harriman's -busi
ness associates that they aa well as
tbs innocent public were badly
dona in these traneaoUons, and It
will tend to limit Mr.- Harriman's

President Roosevelt in talking to
some of his friends this week took
occasion to explain his position re-
gardiog the presidential nominauon.
It has bean said that tbe President
was backing the nomination aspira
tions of Secretary Tail and or no
one else. But the President says
that this is not true. Tbs way he
pat U wm thai be was for any nonv
inee who was not tied hand and
loot br tbe railroad or other eorpor-
ate interests before he even began to
make the running. Thors are ear-
tain rxlicies the President has lin
ed oqL and while these are merely
honesty and open dealing, they are
utterly at variance witn t&s tu
and DoKUoal polkieo oi the
cooxtry in recent years that they
bars been looked on somewba as
t.nM aJ have been termed "anti

by Secretary Taft or Secretary Root,
though this last is a wild assump
tion, or by Governor Hughe", or
any other plain honest man. But
there are a lot of almost friends of
the Presibent who ar not friends at
all. They say that they agree with
him in many things, in almost all
things, but as a matter of fact they
are the very men who if they had
a chance would he glad tit bunko
the public and defuut the Ruo-evelt
policies ou whioli they profess to
look with some favor if not with en
thusiasm, the.' e are the men the
President id anxious to beat and it
ia no secret who many of them are.
The story of a conspiracy against
htm at the next convention i by
no means new to many who are on
tbe inside and it id a sure guess that
there will be a hotter fight between
the Roosevelt and the anti-Roosevelt
forces before the next Republican
national convention than there will
be either in the convention itself or
in the election that follows it.
Three men than whom none afJ
higher iii officials' life and Whom .it
would not be supposed were good
judges of whiskey, have at least set
tled tbe debated question oi what
constitutes whiskey, pure, straight
and mellowed by age; and what
constitutes blends, and finally.
what constitutes imitations. These
men are the President himself, At
torney General Bonaparte, and Sec
retary of Agriculture Mr. Wilson.
The question baa for mouths been
seriously considered and stubbornly
debated between the men represent
ing the whiskey interests and the
government chemist and the Attor
ney General. In substance Presi
dent Roosevelt's order is that all
so-called whiskeys shall be labeled
for just 'What they are Straight
whiskey is the only kind of fire-wa
ter that will be permitted to, bear
tbe simple name 0! "whiskey".
This decision has been awaited with
intense interest by distillers and
rectifiers throughout the United
States. The government's chemist,
Dr. Wiley, is authority for the
statement that all but a fe of
them are putting on the market a
variety of adulterated or blended
liquors which are whiskeys only in
name. The decision, it need not
be added, is in the interest of pure
food, pure drugs, and in short,
straight goods and a "square deal".

A CASE OF CONSCIENCE:
Why an Editor Could Not Be Judge In
a Licerary Contest
Tho editor of a magazine was in
vited to act as a judge in a prize
story cod test. "Is it to be an
anonymous contest?" the editor ask
ed. "Yes, indeed." "And I sup
pose all the stories will be typewrit
ten?" "Certainly. We have par
ticularly Btipulated that." Tm
very sorry," waa the reply, "but I
can t possibly. . .
"But hut you will be asked to
read only the best of the stones
submitted,' reminded the publisher.
"A staff of competent readers will
sift tho wheat from the chaff,
and"
"I'm very sorry, hut I'll have to
refuse, and I can't tell you how it
grieves me to sny this, for I appre
ciate the great compliment you are
paying me,, and I would appreciate
equally the remuneration you offer.
But the fact is this my conscience
would smito me if I undertook tbe
work. - You see, I have had about
twenty years' experience m editorial
work, and during that time I sup
pose the manuscripts of every pop
ular and unpopular author of the
day have, come to my desk for at
tention. I have been in "Buch long
correspondence with many of these
authors that I know their handwrit
ings well, and even a glanco at. my
morning's mail will tell me who my
correspondents arc. And do not
smile I know their typewriters
equally well. I know tho various
makes they own, and those who pre
fer elite type to tho ordinary size,
and thoso who use italics and in
verted quotation marks. I can even
recognize an author's peculiar meth
od of making. a caret and his own
manner of punctuation. But all
this is nothing to my ability to spot
at once an author's stylo. . Attempts
have often been made to deceive me,
but only on raro oceasjons have they
succeeded. Bat you must not think
this so astonishing after all. I have
been tied down to my one line oi
work for a long time now, and the
number of really successful writers
is not so great after alL It would
bo quite remarkable if I had not
learned something about their char
acteristics after fill these years. Al
most all of them would doubtless
submit stories in your contest, and
perhaps the majority of their manu
scripts would bo passed up to me by
your readers. If, recognizing any
particular writer's work, I pretend
ed to give an opinion basod on sup
posed completo ignorance of that
writer's identity, I should not be
doing ho fair thing. For that rea
son 1 must declino to act You un
derstand mo, I hope." "Yes," said
the 'publisher, "I do. But whom!
snail 1 as in your placer "omo
one who is not cursed with .quite se
much conscience," rcpliod the ed
itor. Bookman i .
Alligator as Food. :
There la reason to believe that
tho flesh of a young bpilod alligator
is barely distinguishable from veal,
says an English traveler. It is prob
ably cleaner and more tender than
much of the meat of tho animals
that aro usually consumed as food
on the continent or in the cast end
of London. I have never desired to
taste tho flesh of alligators, cooked
or uncooked. But in India I have
seen tho Sontals and other castclcss
natives greedily devour the flesh of
an alligator without waiting to
cook it The flesh wasery pale in
color and prolmbly was much su
perior to the flesh of snakes and
rata and such like vermin which
form the ordinary food of the preda
tory Sontal when hunting in his
native woods..

for calves a month old; new milk for
tbe mod lb previous and no solids. In
