BEN BROWKELL LEAVES Athlete Quits Earlham Goes to Whittier.

The M. Rumely company is preparing to run a (special train carrying about 250 of Us men to each one of the factories where the M. Rumely products are made. j The company, which has its headquarters at La forte, Indiana, is one of the largest in the country and has salesmen and branch houses all over the United States and Canada. The party will arrive here Saturday morning. The train will be made up at St. Paul, Minn., Monday morning and will consist of eight steel Pullman cars of the latest design, two dining cars and one observation coach. A special Pullman train will be run from Chicago to StPaur on the Northwestern road to carry the company's representatives who will come via Chicago to meet the special train. At 9 o'clock

Monday morning, the special train i

will leave St. Paul for Stillwater, Minn., and the party will make an inspection of the branch factory there. Tuesday will be spent in Milwaukee, whence the train will go to Dixon. 111., where another of the branch factories is located. Thursday the party will inspect the plant at Battle Xreek, Michigan, and from there they will go to Lansing, where they will stay until Friday night. Saturday morning the special Is scheduled to pull into the Union depot in this city at 9 o'clock. Upon the arrival of the train at this city the men will be escorted to the old Gaar-Scott plant and shown through each of the many buildings. Part of the afternoon will be spent in an inspection of the Robinson Threshing Machine company's factory, part of the output of which is contracted for by the M. Rumely company. Other entertainment will be furnished the men for the remainder of the time that they will spend here. The train will leave Richmond at 11 o'clock Saturday night for La Porte, and there wind up the trip' witEali inspection of the factory Monday. The purpose of the trip is to give the men a thorough knowledge of the workings of the various branch factories and reward them for their services with an outing. The managers of each of the forty branches of the company will accompany the party. Canadian salesmen whose sales amounted to $100,000 or more, Northwestern United States salesmen who sold $75,000 or more, Western salesmen who sold $50,000 or more and Eastern salesmen whose sales amounted to $35,000 or more, will be given the privilege of taking the trip as these men are called premium salesmen and are rewarded in some manner for their work. In addition to this number, each manager of a branch will take four salesmen not designated as premium salesmen. Each of the company's branch factories will be represented by several of the stockholders, the representatives for the local plant being Harry Iand and Milton Craighead. William Campbell and Frank Land, works managers of the Gaar-Scott line, will also accompany the party on the trip.

Ben Brownell, who has added many points to the football, basketball, baseball and track scores for Earlham college has left Earlham for Whittier college, California. Brownell jumped into prominence last year when he proved to be one of the football stars even in his freshman year and was the only freshman to make the basketball team. This year he proved one of the most consistent ground gainers on the gridiron as well as a spectacular punter. There is probably not a man in the state who played this year who can outkick Brownell. In the inter-class basketball games this fall he was easily the best Sophomore on the floor.

RAILROAD NOTES

Representatives of several traction companies conferred with the railroad commission of Indiana .Tuesday in regard to proposed legislation to be recommended by the commission in its forthcoming annual report. A similar conference was held several days ago with representatives of steam lines. The commission has taken under advisement a petition of citizens of Rushville, New Castle and intermediate points on a branch of the Lake Erie and Western railroad. The petitioners presented their side of the case several days ago and the railroads made answer Tuesday. The railroad contends that the passenger business between the two towns is not sufficient to warrant the operation of two trains a day and of the substitution of a passenger train for a combination freight and passenger train.

vanial railroad have been in the company for forty years or more. On the pension list of the company there are 1,571 former employes who worked for the road forty years or more. One man worked for the company 66 years, 3 worked 64 years, 5 worked 62 years, 3 worked 61 years, 8 worked 60 years, 7 worked 59 years. 23 worked 58 years, 20 worked 57 years, 27 worked 56 years, 41 worked 55 years, 42 worked 54 years, 39 worked 53 years, 53 worked 52 years, 93 worked 51 years and 124 worked 50 years. Seven monagenarlans grace the pension roll, and three of them have passed the ninety-second milestone.

If One Doesn't Pay Up, Then Lifa It Made a Burden. Why do we pay pourboires in France? Simply because if we didn't life wouldn't be worth living. Here is what happens to the man whogivea no tip to the waiter: After a cognac and eau-de-seltz he summoned the garcon and gave him the exact price of his consummation. Then he rose to go, but before he had time to leave the cafe the waiter tripped over a stool and emptied on to the nontipper's handsome-fur coat-a glass of sticky elrup which he was carrying to another customer. The clumsy waiter begged a thousand pardons and immediately made things worse by seizing a .greasy cloth and rubbing the slrupy substance into the coat. Suppose a tenant does not tip his concierge. What is the result? This that he or she brings up the letters at all hours except when they arrive; that callers are told you are not at home when as a matter of fact you are waiting for them. If you grease the porter's band from time to time there will never be any difficulty in allowing the tradesman to go up to your flat. But as soon as the tips are stopped a host of irritating regulations you never heard of will be enforced to prevent the grocer's and the butcher's boys taking up your orders, and everything will be done to make your life a burden. Your servants may go out every night in the week and all night, but if they tip the concierge with your own coal or wine you will never know it. When it is not the concierge or the servants that make your existence unbearable it is the blanchisseuse. who brings home collars that don't belong to you, somebody else's pajamas and ragged edged handkerchiefs. But the tip makes all these annoyances Tanish. London Globe.

RATES SUSPENDED. A freight tariff filed on behalf of all the western lines and providing that joint through class rates will not apply between Missouri river points and Mississippi river transfer points

and certain stations between St. Louis and Memphis, was suspended Tuesday by the interstate commerce j commission until may 1. The effect! of the proposed tariff would be to in-1

crease the first class rate 28 cents per 100 pounds, with proportionate increases on the lower classes. The effect of the proposed tariffs would be to advance the rate from Portland, Ore., to Chicago from 65 cents per 100 pounds to 89 cents; and fom Portland to New York from 85 cents to $1.08. Rates between other points show a similar advance.

HAVE LONG LIVES. j W. W. Atterbury, vice president of j the Pennsylvania railroad, has com- ! piled interesting statistics which dis- ! close that enginemen of that road live longer than any other class of em

ployes. The figures set forth that there are 202 enginemen on the pension roll, 7.6 per cent of the pensioned employes are enginemen and they draw 12 per cent of the pensions. The average length of service of the enginemen is eighteen years. The average age of death for all classes of employes from the officers down is forty years, w hile that of the engineer is fifty-one years. The average age at which the enginemen arrive who die as the result of an accident is fortytwo years, while for other employes the average is thirty-three years.

FEATHERED TYRANTS.

Cities of Refuge. In the tumultuous days of old, when "every man's hand was against every other man and every other man's hand against him," when the principle of "due process of law" was practically unknown and private vengeance was the rule of the day. it was absolutely necessary that there should be some place to which oue could fly for safety. Such were the "cities of refuge," of whicb. there were six in Palestine. He who succeeded in reaching such asylum when pursued by his would be destroyer was safe until his right to protection was judicially decided. In all probability there were cities of refuge in other countries than Palestine.

All the Fowls of the Air Dread the Muscicapa Birds. Police work is the strangest of the work done in the world of birds. In France and central Europe the muscicapa birds police the air, posted on telegraph wires. Black, with pleads decorated with orange fillets, these notable flycatchers are dreaded by the brigands of the air. Eagles, falcons and all the feathered strong men of the ether shrink from an encounter with this tyrant. When the tyrant cannot find wires to perch on he perches on a pole. When stationed in a prairie or a pasture he perches upon the back of an ox. He lives by hunting insects and attacks all birds, even the strongest, using beak and claws in the unequal struggle. All the fowls of the air fear the police bird, and even the most active pillagers of the nests feign honesty when under the sharp eye of the Muscicapa tyrannus. In winter the tyrant takes possession of the warm shelters prized by birds. In spring, when the young are twittering in the nests, the tyrant turns "thief" and sows terror among friends and enemies alike. Even the sparrows banded to fall upon a field fly away when they see the black coat and orange fillet of the "policeman." The tyrant holds his power by his audacity. All animals yield to the influence of courage, a quality specially tenacious in birds. The tyrant bird is small, but his attitude commands respect. Harper's Weekly.

" THEY FOOL THE FOWL Wild Duck Hunters In Chin Are Wily In Their Methods. A full grown wild duck is one of the

most wary of all animals, and many j are the devices of hunters in various j parts of the world to kill or to capture ;

it There is one method or taKing wild ducks in considerable numbers practiced in China and elsewhere in the east which is sufficiently unknown to occidentals to prove of interest. The natives see that a large number of big calabashes, or gourds, Bhall always be left floating on the water frequented by the birds till they come to regard them as part and parcel of their resorts. The duck hunter chooses his time, and. putting one of the calabashes, with hole cut for his mouth and eyes, upon his head, he wades through the lake, taking care to keep the whole of his body beneath the surface. He cautiously approaches the unsuspecting wild fowl and, catching one of them by the leg, pulls him with a sudden Jerk beneath the water., causing hardly more commotion of the surface than the duck itself when it dives or splashes or plunges for its food. He wrings its neck under the water and fastens it to his belt. Then he deals with another and another in the same fashion till he makes his retreat, equally unnoticed, with a whole glrdleful of captured wild ducks around his waist. Exchange.

This year Easter will occur on March 23, the earliest date for the religious holiday in the twentieth century. In the last century in ISIS and in the previous hundred years, in 1764. Easter fell on March 22, the extreme limit. It was determined by the moon; not the actual nor the mean moon of the astronomer. but an imaginary moon. It is the first Sunday after the vernal equinox. Ea9ter falls generally Bometime between March 22 and the middle of April. The latest Easter of the last century occurred in 1SS6. the latest of this

century will fall in 1943, on April 25 Sometimes Easter, celebrating the resurrection of Christ happens to be on the same date as. the Jewish pass-

ovr, which preceded it a brief space

n history. The egg. as a symbol

of the resurrection, was adopted by pagan tribes long before it was a Christian symbol. In Germany, the priest used to bless the Easter egg. In Russia, red eggs are exchanged at the Easter season and birds are loosed from their cages. Easter has its name after an ancient Saxon godess. Formerly there was an Easter festival of eight days.
