BRICK BEATS UNCLE SAM. Heavy Package Carried for Leas Than Light One. Wlnamac. —John Shank, a merchant at the inland town of Pulasklvtlle, telephoned a Wlnamac business man tg send him a small package of goods by the rural free delivery mail carrier. When Shank opened fcls package of goods he was much surprised to find, carefully wrapped with them, a large building brick. Accompanying the package was a letter, which explained the presence of the brick as follows: “Dear Shank—The brick in your package is just a common brick, and of no value to you, although it saved me 50 cents postage and proved a gold brick to Uncle Sam, who asked me 50 cents more postage to carry the package without the brick than with the brick Included.” On inquiry at the Wlnamac post office one of the inconsistencies of the postal rules was brought so. light. The package was presented to be sent to Mr. Shhnk. It weighed 66 ounces, three and one-half pounds, and 56 cents postage was asked. The postmaster volunteered the information that packages weighing over four pounds were unmailable and were carried for five cents as express, whereupon a three-pound brick was added to the package so Uncle Sam would carry it to its destination 50 cents cheaper Thus is brought to light one of the peculiar inconsistencies of the postal rules.

HAD NOT GUMPTION GOOD REASON WHY RAILROADER WAS BTILL BRAKEMAN. Incident Noted by Chicago Writer Told the Whole Btory—No Advancement Possible for Suoh a Man. I wondered why It was that young man was a brakeman on a passenger train, writes Hollis W. Field in the Chicago Tribune, It was up in Wisconsin, and for miles through the dust of the roadbed and the storm of cinders from the locomotive 1 bad sat in the smoker, smoked and smoking—some. Having no one to talk to, and—because of the dust and the cinders —unable to have talked anyhow, I passed the time wondering at that brakeman. He wm a handsome, well-built fellow, 25 yews old, neat, attentive to the calling of the numerous stations, quick at alighting on the depot platforms, friendly with scores of station loungers, and yet alert in passing on the conductor’s starting signal to the engineer. Altogether it seemed an outrage that such a young man should be a passenger brakeman on j, branch line, a job that had no beginning and no end worth the while. But not till we reached the end of the line did I discover why this young man was a passenger brakeman. Long before we pulled into the terminal station the news agent had stripped himself of his livery, emptied hlß!"fruit baskets, packed jbis papers and periodicals, dusted and brushed himself for the streets. In one of the brackets at the far end of the car two of the news agent’s small baskets, empty, rested squarely and firmly against the motion of the trains, one “nested” within the other. The train still was bowling on when the brakeman began to strip himself of his official blue coat and vest and visored cap. We were bowling still when he stepped to the car bracket for the purpose of depositing coat, vest and cap in the same bracket which contained the “nested” baskets. First, the brakeman took out the baskets, spread his coat neatly in the bottom of the bracket, laid his vest over It, topped the two with his cap, and set the nested baskets back on top, but bottom side down. And the baskets toppled to the floor, naturally. He preserved his temper and set them back —and down they came again. Something was wrong. He decided is was the cap. He tucked the cap under his coat, and set the backets back upon the coat and vest. But before he could get into his Btreet vest, down came the baskets. He was mad, I think. I think he swore. . He got into his coat before he picked up the baskets, brushed himself, looked into a mirror—and then did that which four grains of commdn sense would have prompted in thet beginning: T " He took his clothes out of the bracket and set the “nested” flat baskets iback into place. Then he spread his coat ,in the bottom of the top basket, laid hlft vest smoothly upon the coat, and far over set his cap aslant from its visor, and everything was ‘ there to stay untlll the cows came home. Why he didn’J do that in the beginning is why he was a brakeman on a jerkwater passenger train. Railroads to Cross Andes. The prophets predict that ere maipr years have passed there will be at least three railroads across the Andes, one of them transcontinental, the others connecting with steamers on the Amazon or its tributaries. The line which now runs from Valparaiso to Juncal is to be extended through a long tunnel, which In five or ten years will be finished, and it will connect with an Argentine road at Mendoza. The remarkable Central Peruvian road, which rises 6,000 feet In 50 '.miles from its terminus and crosses the eastern range at an elevation of 15,665feet, will in no great time be ready to carry passengers to the Ucayali river, thence there is an 800-mile journey ere the traveler reaches the head of navigation for ocean going vessels. And that plaice is 2,000 miles from the Atlantic. Another road farther to the north will greatly shorten the Journey. / First Excmmloo Tpafn. No. 17 St., James street, Nottingham, which has just had a narrow escape from destruction by fire, possesses unusual interest, for it was there that the Nottingham Mechanics’ institution passed its early days, an institution to which belongs the distinction of having organized the first railway excursion ever run. This was on July 20, 1840, to Leicester and back, and so great a success was achieved that on August 24 a larger excursion was run.—London Standard. * '1 Ballasted with Gold. A section of the Canadian Northern railroad running northwest from Sudbury, and crossing the Vermillion river, is unique in that it is ballasted' with gold. Every yard of the gravel used for ballast has been found to contain from 50 cents’ worth to a dollar's worth of the precious metal, in the shape of fine dust, and a syndicate is Installing machinery for its installation. ’ -i ,• f i Jm To Open Up Rich Country.

I************************* SERMONETTE. 2 “The fear of the Lord is J § beginning of wisdom.”. “ * a Sacred and profane history * ¥ can produce examples which ab- J a solutely prove the truth of this ¥ J declaration. J 8 The fear of God Is the o£en ¥ J door to the sure, safe pathway of £ -8 God-given wisdom which leads ¥ J unerringly through the maze of } a human life and conditions and ¥ J lands the soul at last on the com- £ ¥ manding heights of God’s cer- ¥ $ tainty. * ¥ Human wisdom at beat is but ¥ 4 partial wisdom. $ ¥ It has Its limitations inflexibly J 4 determined by the finite. ¥ ¥ it can but partially grasp and J 4 understand the complex circum- ¥ ¥ stances and conditions of the J 4 present, and as for the future, ¥ j what can man do but guess? * ¥ How pitiably circumscribed la ¥ J the life which haa only human £ ¥ wisdom on which to rely. £ But it ia not ao where the wis- 4 ¥ dom of God unitea with the \Vls- ¥ 4 dom of man, for the wisdom of 4 ¥ Got not only understands all the ¥ J mysteries and perplexities of the 4 ¥ life of the present, but it sees ¥ 4. with unerring vision Into the 4 future and knows the end from J 4 the beginning.

A vision of greatness and power had come to him, a vision of one scepter over all the world and that scepter his, a vision of conquest of the nations to the east and the west of his kingdom, and he the triumphant conqueror. • , Benaiah, the captain of the hosts of Israel, had been the first to suggest the thought to him when the„ former had urged an expedition against Rezon, who was then ruling at Damascus, and who was to be feared because of the enmity which he bore King David. Solomon well remembered the stirring campaign of his father which had made of Rezon an unrelenting enemy. The latter had been one of (he chief warriors of Hadadezer, king of Zobah. and had escaped with a company of men when David had conquered the land and had killed Hadadezer. At that time Rezon had sworn to be revenged Upon King David, but the opportunity had not come, and Benaiah, thinking that Rezon might plan an expedition against the new king, Solomon, proposed that the armies of Israel proceed against him. And as an outgrowth of the suggested campaign had come the broader vision of a world conquest. Why stop at the conquest over Rezon? Why not extend the borders of Israel to the very ends of the earth? W*hy not signalize the beginning of his reign with a brilliant series' of military expeditions, such as had marked the first years’ rule of the kings df other lands in former ages? -- | King David, his father, had left him a strong army, which was already feared by all the nations about, and It. was but natural that he should be ambitious to have its powers further extended. And where was there a nation that had such a mighty warrior as was Benaiah? Had not the fame of his deeds gone abroad, so that it was known everywhere how he had met in Single-handed combat and had slain two lion-like men of Moab? And was it not also known how he had gone down in the time of snow and, had slain in its lair a fierce lion, which had terrorized the entire Gauntry

round and had destroyed not only sheep and cattle but women and children as well? And then the Egyptians had good reason to know of the mighty Benaiah, for had he not slain their strongest warrior, after a desperate. combat, his only weapon being his staff, while the Egyptian was armed with sword and spear? With such a leader and with an army which had not known defeat for years, where was the foe which could stand up against it? Where was the nation which could not be conquered? Such were the questions which came to the m4nd of the young King Solo-" mon after Benaiah had proposed the expedition against Rezon, and the vision of world wide conquest opened up before him. 7 •-* “Better send for Nathan the prophet and Zadok the high priest, and talk it over With them,” came the thought, which brought a temporary check to the glow of enthusiasm whichthrilled his being as he had pictured all the magnificence and glory and power which would be his when he had brought the whole world at his feet. “But why talk with them?” he impatiently ejaculated. “If it were a question as to the religious ob‘servauces, or.tfie lawß.of the nation, it would be well, but what know they about war and conquest?” And turning with an air of decision, as though that matter was settled and out of the way, he summoned one of the servants and dispatched him with a message to Benaiah and the other chief warriors of Israel that they should meet him in conference that day at the palace, “for,” said he to himself, “we must needs lose no time, for so vast an expedition will require long and careful preparation.” As may well be supposed, Benaiah and the other officers of the army were highly pleased at the promise of such extensive military operations, and the active work of preparing for the expedition soon aroused unusual Interest and enthusiasm throughout the kingdom. Not a word of commendation or of condemnation had come to the king from either Nathan or Zadok, although Solomon knew that they must have heard of the plans. But he felt rather relieved and glad that they had... not sought him out, for he did not careto go into too deep an analysis of the motives and desires which actuated him in seeking a world conquest. Somehow, he felt that it would not meet thotr approval, and he was glad he did not have to answer uncomfortable questions and enter into long explanations as to his plans. "But you must have God with you if your plans are to be a success,” came the voice of conscience from within, for Solomon loved the Lord, and deßlred to do all that the Lord required. “Yes,” Solomon persuaded himself, “but would It not be to the honor and glory of God to bring all kingdoms and all nations under the dominion of the nation whose God is the Lord? I will hold sacrifices at Gibeon and all the nation shall know that ,the Lord is with me in this thing.” —.—;. i ■ ~ .’fc ; So saying, King Solomon gave orders that Zadok prepare for the services, and on the appointed day he went thither, with all his courtiers and the chief men of his army, that they might worship. Day after day the ceremonies continued until at last a thousand burnt offerings had been sacrificed upon the high place. During all those days djt Worship and service the heart of the young king had been singularly touched and stirred, and there had come to him anew realization of the need of and dependence upon God. He had come to Gibeon filled with the great ambition |o sexrd his armies out into the world and extend his scepter to every nation, and one day when the question had arisen in his heart whether he was willing to gfjo up that ambition if God was not with him in the plan, a fierce, impatient spirit had seized him, and the impulse was strong upon him to forthwith leave Gibeon and plunge headlong into the completing/of the plans of the expedition. “But would you attempt to conquer the world while yet you cannot rule your own spirit?” came the voice from within. With sudden horror and an inner revulsion of feeling, Solomon realized the awful crisis which fa#ed his life. Was he ready for a world conquest while yet he had failed to Conquer his own heart? Was he ready to rule over the world, while yet he nad not proved that he could rule righteously over the nation which had chosen him as king? With these questions uppermost in bis mind, while y<et“he was shaping answer to therm he sought his couch that night, and m a dream thought God spoke to him, asking him what he should give to him. It was all so real that during all the years which followed Solqgion never questioned but that God had visited him in person and had given him the promise of his blessing because he had chosen the wisdom and understanding of God rather than all the kingdoms of "the earth. And more than once, as the borders of his kingdom extended and riches and honor and power flowed unto him, did he exclaim: "Verily, the Lord hath kept Mb word and hath given not only wisdom, but all else besides.” Good Idea in Berlin.

GRAND TRUNK ANNOUNCES D TAILS OF GENEROUS PENSIONFUND FOR EMPLOYEES. A splendid Christmas box was handed out to its men yesterday by the Grand Trunk, in the shape of announcement of the details of its new pension system, which is of a most generous nature. The pension fund will be Entirely contributed by the company, the men not being assessed one cent for its maintenance or administration. It will affect every member of the staff from Charles it. Hays down to the humblest sectihd man, while provision is also made for men Incapacitated by accident or otherwise, or even men discharged without cause, and otherwise eligible under the pension rules. The establishment of this pension system was approved at the last annual meeting of the shareholders, when the handsome suih of $200,000 was voted as a nucleus. In addition to the income from this .sum, however, It is estimated that the company will have to supplement ,thts by a large sum, varying from $70,000 to $75,000 a year. The rules of the Grand Trunk pension fund will apply from the highest to the lowest of the staff from the general manager himself down to the humblest section man or gatekeeper. They require absolutely the retirement from active service of every officer or employee when attaining the age of 65, and if he has entered the service before the age of 60 years, and has served for a period of 16 years, or more, he is entitled with the approval of the pension fund committee to an annuity of 1 per cent, of the average annual salary paid for ten continuous years, for each year of uninterrupted employment, the basis of calculatloa being the same as that practically universal on this oontinent. Thus if a man has served say 30 years, receiving an average of sl,ooo' per annum ($83.33 per month) on the pay rolls of the company for the laat ten years—or for aay period of tea years during his term of service—he would be entitled to 1 per cent of sl,ooo=Blox3o years, or S3OO per annum, equal to $26 per month. The company, however, have made a provision that irrespective of rate of pay or service, the minimum allowance to be paid under any circumstances will be S2OO per annum, and this without any counterbalancing, maximum ~ " 1" Surely .NS Bmoker.
