There probably *4af I is no man in the railroad world today who is 7 more widely known and yet about whom so little lj ' s known in detail as Mr. Hughitt. This Is the J result of a lifelong policy of doing things rather * Vm than of talking. %uJr. ■ J" J He was born in Genoa, Cayuga county, N. Y., V ' n *837, am ' hegan his career as a telegraph oper ator at Albany for the New York and Buffalo Telegraph company in 1852. In 1854 he located in Chicago and worked as an operator for the Illi nois and Missouri Telegraph company. Mr. Hughitt entered the railway serv ice in 185 C, and until 18C2 he was consecutively superintendent of telegraph and train master of the St. Louis, Alton and Chicago at Bloomington. From 18C2 to ISG4 he was superintendent of the southern division of the Illinois Central. It was during the latter period that Mr. Hughitt performed an operating feat that has never been surpassed. The government suddenly called upon the road to move a large detachment of troops at a time when the road was flooded with traffic. The force became somewhat demoralized at the magnitude of the problem, whereupon Mr. Hughitt took his place at the dis patcher's key and performed tho task without interruption to traffic, at the expense of 72 hours of continuous service. When he awakened two days later he found that he had been promoted to the position of general superin tendent of the road. In ISiO Mr. Hughitt left the service of the Illinois Central to become gen eral manager of the St. Paul road, and a year later George M. Pullman Induced him to become the manager of the Pullman company. Mr. Hughitt in 1572 accepted tho position of general superintendent of the Northwestern railroad, after which his rise to the presidency was rapid and was marked by the constantly Increasing importance of the system in tho western rail road world. One of the most remarkable things about the chairman of the North western's board Is the fact that at tho age of seventy-three he is able to do and does a more strenuous day's work than most railway presidents who ara 15 years younger. The fact that he came from sturdy stock, there being five living generations in the Hughitt family, with the fact also that he took the most perfect care of himself, accounts for his remarkable activity. FRENCH REPUBLIC'S MASTER " The great railroad strike in France brought more than ever to the notice of the w-orld a re markable man. On the reassembling of the cham- her 0 ' deputies Premier Brland created Bome thing of a sensation by declaring that he had jglfegiay i—-*u proof, through confessions of the leaders of the /jff&fk, mm recent railroad strike, that there was a deliberate to ruin France by violence, anarchy and civil \ 1 '' I Briand, now prime minister and master of the HP viOl French republic, was nobody ten years ago. At i thirty-five he was an outsider, and, worse, Beern | Ingly a failure even as a lawyer. Suddenly ho willed, and all came easy to him. Easy is the ' word that seems to characterize him now and V■ , Vrr" , -ft J then. Born ln St. Nazarlne, he conquered a degree of law. Would he have been content to plead party wall cases, marry an SB,OOO dot, play the violin, sing admirably, beat them all at billiards and talk polities? He was not of the ruling set of St. Nazaire. Possibly resentful, possible great-hearted, he certainly felt for the workinguien, who at once understood him and swore by him. Buying a second-hand press ln Parts, ho took it from the freight office alone with a horse and wagon, and with one boy put It together, set the type and launched the Democracy of the West. Briand excited great animosity of the ruling clusses, and so, for one reason or another, he got himself dis barred as a lawyer. He quit St Nazaire, his career apparently broken at the start, and began to write. Paris socialists were edified by the young stranger's grasp of their subjects His articles ln the Lanteme became at once noted for their clear ness and boldness. They expressed the discontented worklngman to him self—as if it were the worklngman who wrote them. He walked into the sovereign office of French deputy, first In 1902, again In 190G, and now, as simply, he has walked Into the cabinet—and put himself at its head. No one realizes how he does it. All happens tranquilly, without fireworks. Ho steps through cruel difficulties without effort.

IMPROVED BARN COMBINES UTILITY AND CLEANLINESS How an Ordinary, Old-F«sbioned Structure May be Easily tind Cheaply Changed Into Up-to- Data Sanitary Building. All realize that a barn to be ideal must combine both utility and clean liness. The sanitary condition cannot be obtained to perfection in basement barns, and so, recognizing this fact I have drawn plans to show how an or dinary, old-fashioned basement barn can be easily and cheaply changed Into an up-to-date barn; one which we will be proud to ask our neighbors to inspect and one in which we can pro duce milk that will sell for a pre mium, writes W. A. Cooke in New Eng land Homestead. The barn as it stands today is a common, rectangular, farm barn with a basement for manure and hogs; with a driveway to the floor above on which we find the cows, horses and sheep. Above are the lofts with loose board floors through which the chaff and dust are constantly sifting to con taminate both milk and cows, for we know that dust is an ideal place for the growth of all bacteria, especially tuberculosis. Let us add an ell to this barn for the cattle with- no stor age room above. This ell should be Oga^gSC—TTPT^' 1 .

The cement floor should be continuous throughout the barn, having it level and without obstruc tions to hinder in the sweeping. Sliding doors divide the main barn from the ell. The cows stand facing a ten-foot feed alley with a low two foot manger, in front of them, and a one and one-half foot gutter having a six-inch drop behind them; four and ont-haif feet are all6wed for the length of the platform . Hetweon the gutter and the wall is a three and ono half foot space which gives ample room for cleaning. The walls are plentifully supplied with large win dows so the barn may have quanti ties of sunlight. The manure pit Is at the south end of the barn, Just to the west of the large doors at the east side of the driveway and connect ed with the barn by a door and a short alley In a stave silo, with an in side diameter of I*J feet, and a height of 25 feet, giving a capacity of 90 tons which Is sufficient to give us succu lent food for 200 days. An overhead track connects all parts of the barn bo that either the feed or manure car can easily do the work. • In the main barn we tlnd five horse stalls, four calf pens, a bull pen and a large storage bin for roots. We also tlnd a hay-bay connecting with the upper floor so that all hay for stock Is easily pushed or unloaded Into It. The overhead track comes through the doors from the ell so that feed can be easily loaded onto the car. The grain which Is on the second floor may be loaded by means of a shoot. The horse stalls are supplied with Iron hayracks and grain boxes which COMBINED CELLAR AND ICEHOUSE r ~~ — *CE * 1 W«lftnt T «M COO* . •§?* 1 • ' ,O,T ••!• CELLAR A eouililtmilun uf :« mllur v.tlh uu tr« Nuu . i. .i> Uu dfnlmblu utifti r p«i ii tn wtMif* iiiu i'mUht u iu l»o lur culil aitiiHifv.

A farm name is always a great convenience to trav elers because few of our country roads are named and a farm cannot easily be located except by name. I know some farmers say It is a silly and sentimental practise but I do not agree with them. I do not think much of a man who is not proud enough of his home to give It a distinctive name. In the south nearly every planta tion Is named and these names carry with them something of the true spir it of the love of rural life. If we give our farms a name we will think more of them and our children will always associate with tho name some of the pleasantest memories of thelf lives. Clean Milk.
