In his testimony before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce at Washington on May 4th, Prof. Hugo R. Meyer of Chicago University, an ex pert on railroad management, made this statement: "Let us look at what might have happened if we had heeded the pro tests of the farmers of New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania (in the seven ties when grain from the west began pouring to the Atlantic seaboard) and acted upon the doctrine which the In terstate Commerce Commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advan tages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could not have west of the Mississippi a popu lation of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. We never should have seen the years when we built 10,000 and 12.000 miles of railroad for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi river who could have used the land that would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12.000 miles of railway a year, we should not have today east of the Mississippi a steel and iron producing center whieh is at once the marvel and the despair of Europe, because we could not have built up a steel and iron industry if there had been no market for its pro duct. We could not have in New England a great hoot and shoe industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton milling industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio man ufacturing industries of the most di versified kinds, because those indus tries would have no market among the farmers west of the Mississippi river. And while the progress of this coun try while the development of the agri cultural West of this country, did mean the impairment of the agricul tural value East of the Mississippi river that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant inciden tally the building up of great manu facturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands of mil lions of dollars. And. gentlemen, (hose things were not forseen in the seventies. The statesmen and the pub lic men of this country did not see what part the agricultural develop ed of the West was going to play the industrial development of the East. And you may read the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion from the first to the last, and hat is one of the greatest character istics of those decisions? The con tinued inability to see the question in this large way. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion never can see anything more than that the farm land of some farmer is decreasing in value, or that some man who has a flour mill with a production of 50 barrels a day is being crowded out. It never can see that the de struction or impairment of farm val ues in this place means the building up of farm values in that place, and that that shifting of values is a neces sary incident to the industrial and manufacturing development of this country. And if we shall give to the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they have been regulated in the past by railway men, who really have been great "statesmen, who really have been great builders of empires, who have had an imagination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and daring that rivals the courage and daring of the greatest military gen eral. But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureaucrats, whose besetting sin the world over is that they never can grasp a situation in a large way and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil; ex cept by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater >♦1 J ; the first His and the ing uot to than the one that is to be corrected."

The doctor's first call took place on a cold January midnight. The Jangle of the door-bell woke me from a sound sleep, and shivering and yawning, I put my head out of the window and said: "Who's there?" "Doctor," said a voice, "can yon come to Peter Smith's house at once? His youngest girl has took a dose of Laudanum by mistake for paregoric, and we're afraid she'll die." "All right; I'll come," I said. I dressed and tramped three miles through the cold and the wet to Smith's. Twice on the way I fell on the ley pavement, and once my hat blew off, and I was half an hour find ing it. Finally, I reached Smith's. The house was dark—shutters all closed— uot a light. I rang the bell. No an swer. At last a head stuck Itself gin gerly out of the window In the third story. "Be you Doctor Doyle?" It said. "Yes, let me In." "Oh, no need to come In, doctor," said the head. "Child's all right. Sleeping quiet" "But how much laudanum did you give It?" "Only two drogs, doctor. Not enough to hurt a cat. Guess I'd better take my head In now. Night air Is cold. Sorry to have troubled you." I buttoned up my coat and turned homeward, trying to stifle my anger. Suddenly the window was raised again, and the same voice cried; "Doctor! I say, doctor!" I hurried back. Perhaps the child had taken a turn for the worse. "Well, what do you want?" I said. The voice made answer: "Ye won't charge nothing for this visit, will ye?" RAILWAYS OF CANADA. a They Are Called Upon to Transport Yield of 4,000,000 Acres. It is now thirty-seven years since the federation of Canada was accom plished and about half that space of time since what was then thought the visionary prospect of spanning the con tinent with the Canadian Pacific rail way was conceived. The Northwest was considered a wilderness of snow and ice—a vast, lone land, tenantless save by the bison and the red man. Phenomenal has been the change since then. Along the international boun dary twenty years ago was an acreage of 260,000 under crop, yielding 1,200, 000 bushels of wheat. Now the acre age is over 4,000,000 and the annual yield 110,000,000 bushels, while popu lation, acreage and output are aug menting at a rate no other country can approach. The Hon. Clifford Sifton, Canadian minister of the interior, as serts that "the wealth-producing pow er of the individual is fully four times greater on the prairie farms of the West than in any other portion of the country," and he estimates that there Is abundant room there to sustain frot. 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 of people. To-day, bo amazing has been the de velopment of the Northwest, tbe Cana dlan Pacific railway is unable to serve Its commercial needs. "Canada's hop per," as Sir William Van Horne, the chairman of the Canadian Pacific rail way, tersely put it, "has grown too big for the spout" The grain-production of the territory is too enormous for his road, practically double-tracked though It Is with sidings and sentineled with elevators. Every fall there is an abso lute congestion, with grain coming out and lumber, coal and other commodi ties going In. Consequently, much of the traffic has to be handled by Amer ican transportation agencies. The United States has 2,000 cargo boats on the great lakes, while Canada has only 30; and all the principal American rail ways have working alliances with those of Canada. Therefore, two oth er transcontinental railway systems are now being projected for Canada, that the wheat belt may be properly served. Acquiring a Specimen. Mrs. Franklin hud always spoken hei mind, and she intended to do it so long as the gift of speech was spared her. Her children and grandchildren knew her habit, and found it not always cheering. "I'd like to have you tell me what in duced Edith to fall In love with that young man I saw last night for the first time," said the old lady to one of her daughters. "I think she was attracted to him at first because he's such an athletic fel low and such a splendid swimmer," the mother of Edith ventured, feebly, after a moment's casting about in her mind for a satisfactory answer. "Humph!" snorted Mrs. Franklin. "Which does she propose to keep him in after she marries him—a gymna sium or an aquarium?" Away from the Past. "In my plans for your new home," says the architect, "I have provided for a large, ornate frieze in the wall. "Don't want It," asserts Mrs. Con Jeeled. "What?"

ITORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling t.icm poison." The definition of narcotic " is I "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul si on s and death. " The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.
