This Is My 53d Birthday CHARLES E. U8SHER. Charles K. Usaher, ono of the most prominent railway officials of Canada, was born at Niagara Kails, Ont., December 29, 1857. At the age of aeventcen he began his railway career as a clerk in the auditor's office of the Great Western railway. He remained in the employ of that company for alx years, when he resigned to accept a more responsible position In the ser vlca of the Wabash. St. Loula and Pacific railway. In 1SS6, after a period of three yeara In which he was enRaged In commercial business at Mam..ton, OnL, Mr. Vssher re-entered the railway service at chief ticket clerk or the Canadian Pacific. After filling successively the positions of assistant ' general passenger agent and general passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific he attained hia present position of assistant passenger traffic manager, with headquarters in Winnipeg.

Indiana

Study of the Indiana figures show some really remarkable results. It illustrates at once how wrong are a good many of the general impressiona of the recent election, and how bard the people of a Democratic state tried, despite the handicap' of complicated and Indirect voting, to reelect the Insurgent Republican. Beveridge to the senate. How many people know that in the election fo. the legislature this year Indiana really went less Democratic than in the electlon( for governor in 1908! Marshall's Democratic plurality for governor in 1908 was 14.453; this year the Democratic legislative plurality against Beveridge was only about 8,000. With the exception of Tennessee and one or two other southern states where there was ai independent movement, Indiana was the only state where the Democrats this year failed in any respect to gain ground. And how hard the people tried to discriminate is shown by a comparison. One group of Democratic counties, which gave a Democratic plurality of 13,362 on that part of the ticket where Beveridge was not Involved, reduced that plurality to 3,912 on the legislature," where Beveridge was Involved; another group of Republican counties gave a Republican pluralily of only 4,611 on the state ticket where Beveridge was not involved, and increased that plurality to 11,676 on the legislative ticket, where Beveridge was involved. In every congressional district in Indiana Beveridge ran very far ahead of the Republican candidate for congress. If Indiana had participated in the Democratic landslide to the same extent as Maine, or Massachusetts, or Pennsylvania and Beveridge is the only reason It did not the Democratic plurality would have been between 50,000 and 75,000. Indiana has shown that it believes in Insurgency and the progressive principles that Beveridge stands for. Collier's Weekly.

Efficient City Government The showing of the city administration as a whole at the end of the year as printed in Tuesday's Palladium is a good one. Everyone knows that the tax rate was lowered in the fall preceding the last mayoralty election for reasons political. It was a shrewd move in one way and yet if the present record of the administration keeps up in all departments it will come to be one of the greatest tests of efficiency that the present administration has to point to. When Mayor Zimmerman declared that he either wanted the tax rate raiited so as to allow the business of actual improvement to go forward or else to have the tax rate stay at the exact point at which the former administration placed it he was simply showing horse sense. 1 There are only two sensible thing to do either to keep down expenses and taxes and do without any additional improvements, or to keep down expenses and to raise taxes for improvements on a large scale. Cut out the drlplets is the real sense of the matter. Put your money where it will show! Cut down expenses but not efficiency.

This seems to bo what the administration is doing or trying to do. The Street Department is running on about half the amount of money formerly spent and doing two times the work. Genn's record has been efficient and it may be taken as a typical example.

As far as this paper Is concerned the. sooner we can get away from recording city affairs as politics the better but politics we shall always have as long as there are elections. But party politics in city affairs is vicious as a rule. The whole tendency of city government in Richmond is toward efficiency. The man who has had a grouch will find the city laboring under the same difficulties as most of the rest of us the cost of living.

There are some minor matters which could be Improved but these shouldn't be magnified. It's mighty easy to sit on the outside and find fault but in, the McMahan'a sinking fund already well started the citizens can do more by getting In behind than- any other way. Appreciation helps.

FEW TERSE TALES OF NOTED PEOPLE New York, Dec. 29. The manager of a big taxlcab company was busy adding up the last notes of his yearly report, when the office boy announced a visitor. The name was one well known in society, so the obliging manager was all attention. The purpose of the lady's errand was to convince the manager that the company owed her $2.02. "Something broke," ahe explained, "and I was held up for forty-five minute while the driver tinkered with the machine." Her manner was so impressive that the manager was on the point of writing out a check for the money demanded, but before doing bo he remarked, "It was certainly a case of overcharge. It was not your fault the cab broke down, and he should not have charged you for the time it took to make repairs." "Oh." said she. "he isn't overcharging. What I'm complaining about is that he made me late for a bargain sale that closed at one o'clock, and when I got there I finally had to pay $4.00 for a waist that had sold up to one o'clock for $1.98. It is the difference that 1 am lighting for." Then the manager closed his check book. When Mary Garden returned from Europe early in the fall to fulfill engagementa in America this season, ahe had her friends guessing by her announcement that she Is soon to marry a pasha. They are still guessing for Mary has not volunteered to enlighten them. But she told so much the first time that the ship reporters thought they knew. A few days ago his Excellency Crook8hank Pasha was registered at the Plaza and the reporters made It their business to get after him before he was fairly settled In his extensive suite of rooms.

ed," said the major domo. "He is trav eling for his health."

The major domo was asked if the the Pasha would make a statement, since he. refused to be Interviewed. The major said most emphatically that the Crookshank Pasha would not make a statement. The reporters conferred together, and finally one of them returned to the charge. "Look here, old chap," said he to the dignified and horrified representative of the British army who had been rendered aghast by the cheek of the newspaper men, "Crookshank Pasha has got to answer one question for us. Will you ask him to state pointblank whether or not he is going to marry the singer?" "I will not," said the major domo, permitting a China grin to appear between his cute little whiskers. "But I will make a suggesion. You might ask Crooksank Psha's wife." People easily constipated dread the winter. fc Nothing but hard, coarse meals. No fruits, no vegetables to keep the stomach active.

Self conquest and universal charity are the fundamental thoughts, the very tveb and woof, of the religion known as Buddhism. From the start Buddhism arrayed itself against caste and against ceremonialism and. proclaiming the doctrine of worldwide brotherhood and the all sufficiency of kindness, weut forth to proclaim the teachings of its revered founder. It is today the most extensive faith on earth in point of numbers, and. although much older than Christianity, is still full of life and vigor. There are Buddhist missionaries even in America and England, and they will tell you that they have great faith in the future of tbeir creed. New York American. IN HISTORY'

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, J 908, by Edwin A. Nye HE AND SHC They loved each other. There was no doubt about that. She trusted him perfectly. And he was proud to work for ber. When they were married tie was getting a fairly good salary, which was increased from time to time. By and by children came to them. It took all of his salary to pay the bills, but they had enough and were contented and hiippy. Sometimes she would wonder what might become of her and the children if he should die. Aud ouce she timidly broached the question of life insurance. "Why," said he, "I am young and in good health and able to protect you all. If I were getting along in years there might be some need. Old man Smith over there, i think, ought to carry some insurance, but I have ytars abend of me." Besides, he said, insurance was expensive and he could not afford it Just now. And then one day tho unexpected happened. And when the funeral expenses were all paid there was nothing left. The neighbors were very kind, but they had troubles of their own. And then for the first time 6he faced the real problem of how to make a living. Sadly she realized their mistake. Had he left her a few hundred dollars to tide over the family expenses until she could adjust herself to the new conditions But now She must, if possible, keep the brood together. And pathetically she strove to do that. She was not able to learn the dressmaking art. And what she earned as a helper and then at plain sewing was not enough to keep the children. A glib agent induced her to try can vassing, and she rang many doorbells and almost begged for admission Sales were few. In despair she took the two younger children to a home for friendless children, where, with breaking heart, she signed away her rights to her flesh and blood. Poor she! Sometimes she washes for a living, and sometimes she is janitress of a floor in an office building. A fanciful story? It is almost liter ally drawn from life and can be dupli cated in the stories of every- day. And the moral of It O man lies In its application. . m i'irtKai4A. When you urge the Mexican to make a business decision and close up the deal be squirms, shows his teeth and says: "Manana." Whloh means tomorrow. The habit of mind which makes the Mexican say that has made him a poor man. generally speaking, in the midst of the most profusely productive coun try in the world. And there are others. Many of us lose ont in life because we put off until tomorrow what we should do today. We say: Tomorrow I will decide. Tomorrow I will begin. Tomorrow I will reform.1' Tomorrow I will be happy. When tomorrow comes we do not de cide, we do not begin, we do not re form, we are not happy. Because The habit persists. It is fatal to initiative, to resolute action. It becomes easy to say to onesself: Tomorrow I will start the business; tomorrow I will speak the kind word; tomorrow I will cut out the bad habit. We go on thus. We "Resolve and re-resolve, then die the same." Reirln now! When thinking is required, think: when action Is required, act; when change is required, reform. Strike! The Iron is red. Whether it be plowing a field or selling merchandise or launching a boat or courting a girlDo it now! You may make a mistake. But also you may make a mistake tomorrow. If you make the mistake today there is tomorrow to begin over. riunge in! Do not stand shivering on the brink and fear to launch away The water may be cold, but it will be no warmer tomorrow. Plunge in and have it over. "Come on In; the water is fine " I do not need to tell you how many mistakes you have made, how many chances you have missed. b7 putting tldngs off. You know.

When the young couple married a friend who laid claims to bcin somewhat of a magician presented them with a tall bottle of transparent liquid, instructing them to place it upon their mantel and explaining that if either of them ever dared to flirt the contours of the bottle would assume a murky color. After they had been mnrried a year the wife went to the seashore for a vacation. In her absence her lnisl:and frequently entertained a group of bachelor frir-nds with amusements thoroughly bachelor-iike, but iuuoeent enough. The guests Inquired as to the significance of the tall bottle on the mantel, but the host persistently refused to divulge the secret. Fiually ou the night before the day set for his wife's return he explained tbo meaning of the mysterious lott!e. One of the priests, who was much Siveu to practical joking, surreptitiously removed the cork of tho bottle, into which ho emptied the contents of his fountain pen. When the bottle hod been thoroughly shaken it was replaced upon tbu mantel and carefully concealed behind a large photograph. The next day after the wife had returned in dusting the mantel she removed the photograph, thus revealing the tall bottle with its sable contents. She very promptly took the bottle to the sink, emptied it. rinsed it out thoroughly, filled It with clear water and replaced it on the mantel. Judge. Why He Wept. Many good stories are told about the great house of Rothschild. One of the most amusing is that of the poor Jew who when Baron Lionel died is said to have stood at the entrance to the Rothschild mansion weeping bitterly. His apparent distress touched the heart of ope of the porters, who, trying to console him, said, "Don't carry on so, old man; it isn't as if you're one of the family." "Acb, dat's vy I cry!" exclaimed the mail, with a fresh flood of tears. .................. ttTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTttTTtT t t Beware of Tight Cough, t X Precedes Pneumonia Z 4 Home-Made Syrup Loonraa.
