THE GRAND DUKE.
_ •
• Tha Grand Duke Nicholas was conned some eight or seven months •
• ago: his Ill-found soldiers could not stand against the well-armed, full- •
• fed foe. His men were urmed with rusty guns, and had no powder and •
• less shot; they could not face the lighting Hun», nor yet endure the •
• German swat. Remarked the Russian ruler then, "Grand Duke, you fall •
• to cut the grass: I'll send you with a bunch of men to guard some lone- •
• some'mountain pass." "All right, my Hege," the grand duke cried, be- •
a fore the monarch bending low, "your orders I'll obey with pride, for what •
• you say müst always go."
a nursed a sore and aching head, and vowed his treatment was unjust, •
• and grouched around till he was dead. But, smiling, Nicholas retired, •
• and led his bunch of also-rans, a group of has-beens, worn and tired, •
• to play before the bush league fans. But, oh, how Nicholas came back,
• and led his has-beens to the front, and gave the Turks a deadly crajk,
• till Russia gloried In his stunt! Say, do you sit around and curse, when
• you've been taken down a notch, or grandly rise above reverse, till all •
• the. world your smoke must watch? •

THE RAILWAY OUTLOOK.
Howard Elliott, president of the New Haven, recently
delivered a discouraging address on the condition of the
railroads. The burden Of his argument was that they re
quired capital. "Probably the most important factor in
the investment of money in railway securities,
Elliott, "is the item known as net operating income, for
out of this must come the return paid upon invested capi
tal." He thereupon gave some figures applying to the
year ending June 30, 1914—a year peculiarly black for
the transportation business. Were Mr. Elliott to make an
address today he might have occasion to change his senti
ment". According to a statement by the interstate com
merce commission, the 138 principal lines of the country
made substantial gains in revenue during January. There
were gratifying increases for the seven months ending
January 31, but the gain in January was phenomenal.
^The January net revenue for all the railroads reported
was $61,979,586. That of those east of the Mississippi and
north the Ohio was $24,626,611. This was practically
twice as large as their net revenue in January, 1915. The
western and southern railroads are sharing in the pros
perity. The movement of goods, which first, affected only
the north Atlantic seaboard, has gradually been extended
so that now revival of the lumber trade has caused busi
ness on western and northwestern roads to improve. All
these things, together with some increases in freight and
passenger rates last year, have caused a great difference
in the situation.
The railways have also been economizing. This is pos
sibly best illustrated by the 1915 report of the Pennsyl
vania, which in the face of increasing business has been
able to continue its reduction in expenses. "This de
crease in the transportation expenses," says the report,
"was due to an accounting change * * * and
increased efficiency." Business generally has reason to
feel encouraged by the railway reports. Increased re
turns ought to attract needed capital to the railways.

said Mr.
THE NAVY.
Many people who have been somewhat disturbed by
the extreme accounts that we have had of the weakness
of the American navy will be surprised and gratified by
the testimony of Admiral Fletcher before the house naval
committee. He said that with three new dreadnoughts
and four battle cruisers we should have a fleet equal in
fighting strength to the present German fleet, and "could
reasonably expect to make a good defense although not
an absolute one" of both coasts against any combination,
of two powers that did not include Great Britain.
Of course, this proposed addition to the fleet is to be
. regarded as a minimum. But the point is that we cannot
be said to be in a desperate condition when only seven new
ships are required to make us practically safe as against a
two-power attack on both coasts. It is to be noted, fur
t ther, that wa already have 42 battleships. Many of these,
j it is true, are old, and some of them are at the present time
in bad condition, but the important thing is that- Admiral
Fletcher counts them all as paid of our fighting force.
In such a matter as naval preparation the American
people are much more likely to act in the light of real facts
I than in response to a "scare." They are not jealous of
l their navy, or afraid of it. Free peoples never have dis
■ trusted naval power. Naturally the-American people do
New Strength for Lame Backs and Worn-out Conditions.
Dear Mr. Editor:
I suffered from lame back and a tired,
worn-out feeling. Was unable to stand

who are In need of such a remedy will
give these Tablet* of Dr. Pierce's a

not care to waste money, but they are entirely willing to
p a y whatever is necessary to provide an adequate naval
defense. Admiral Fletcher, it will be noted, does not say
that the increase suggested by him is all that should be
made, but that it will do fairly well. With it "we could
reasonably expect to make a good defense, although not
an absolute one," even were we assailed by two powers on
both coasts. Perhaps we should provide for an "abso
lute" defense, in which ease we should build more than
seven new ships. Surely we may conclude from this testi
mony that even our present naval strength is far from be

PHYSICAL COLLAPSE.
"What is It, Daddy?" asked Dudley
anxiously. Jacob Townsend dropped a
letter on hts desk and passed his hand
over his eyes in & dazed tort of way.
For answer he mo
tioned toward the
letter. Dudley
Picked it up afid
read:
"Chicago, Illinois,

"Mr. J. C. Town

"Very truly yours,

Dudley laid the letter down and hts
father said: "That is the first Urne I
was ever refused credit in the thirty
five years that I have been In busi
ness."
"Don't takeiit to heart so. It's the
fault of the unsettled condition of
business generally. You know what a
time yon have to collect; I suppose
they are in the same boat."
"The point Is I cannot make the pay
ment," replied Jacob. "How are we
to get goods for our Christmas trade?"
"Can't you borrow somewhere?",
asked the Junior partner.
"I have not been able to so far. The
loan I got at the bank last fall is not
paid off, so I can't very well ask for
more," was the weary reply.
"You are not fit to think about busi
ness today. Go home and rest a while
and things will look clearer," urged
Dudley, really worried about his fath
er.
Jacob rose ami reached for his hat
and started for the door. George came
up and Dudley whispered:
"I am going with him. He is not
well enough to go alone. Read that
letter," he added, as he hurried after
his father.
Leaning on Dudley's arm, Jaqpb
slowly made his way home. He sank
Into a chair in the hall and Dudley
hurried t,o the kitchen for a reviving
drink. With a small tray In his hand
he had started back when he heard a
heavy thud. Dropping the tray on
the table he fairly ran to the liall. His
father was stretched on the floor. Or
trude and Mr:, •Tupper came running
from opposite directions. Dudley knelt

He rose very pale and motioned to
Tupper to hêlp carry him upstairs.
"Call up the doctor,'' he said coldly
to Ortrude. who stood pale and tremb

Dudley and the housekeeper carried
the sick man to his room and got him
to bed. Ortrude crept up stairs and In
to the room as soon as she was assured
that the doctor was on his way to the
house. Mrs. Tupper dispatched her on
errands and assumed full charge of the
patient. When everything possible had
been done Tupper stole from the room
and beckoned to Ortrude to follow,
leaving Dudley sitting by the bed hold
