slipped and wrenched my back
badly. After that I had great
pain across my loins and my
back often got lame and sore. I
used Doan's Kidney Pills, pro
cured at Trout's Drug Store and
thev soon gave me relief."

WHEN FATHER RODE THE GOAT
By Ira S. Ebersole.
The house is full of arnica,
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound.
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike a note;
The doctor's been here seventeen times
Since Father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge a week ago
Got in at 4 A. M.,
And sixteen brethren brought him home,
Though he says he brought thm.
His wrist was sprained and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been a lively time
When Father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch today
And practicing the signs
The hailing signals, working grip,
And other monkeyshines;
He mutters pass-words 'neath his breath
And other things he'll quote
They surely had an evening's work
When Father rode the goat
He has a gorgeous uniform,
All gold, and red, and blue,
A hat with plumes and yellow braid,
And golden badges, too,
But, somehow, when we mention it,
He wears a look so grim,
We wonder if he rode the goat;
Or if the goat rode him.
ALL MATTER OF CONVENTION
English People Insist on Seeing
Frenchmen at They Have Been
Accustomed to Seeing Them.
Why is it, I wonder, that the
Frenchman always has been and
still is portrayed in British comic
journals in the traditional guise of
pay boulevardier, wearing a Van
Dyke beard and dressed in a ridicui
lous velvet jacket such as the Mont
martre artists affect ? Marcel Boulen
ger asks in Cartoons Magazine.
Do you remember the legendary
Marius of Marseilles, whose droll sil
houette was one of the masterpieces
of poor Caran d'Ache's delightful
art? Such, or nearly such, is the
portrait accorded us in the most
friendly way, of cour&o on the
other side of the Channel. In the
naive imagery of the British people
it is thus we appear. And no mat
ter where this strange, gaudy per
sonage shows up, Tommy Atkins af
fectionately gives vent to cheers, for
he has recognized his comrade.
But why under the sun should the
sympathetic Tommy picture us like
that? lie rhould know better nnw.
IIj sur-'.y knows that the average
I'remhnian no more resembles Ma
ius than does the typical English
man resemble Lord Dundreary. But
no matter. Convention so ordains.
EX-CONVICT WEARS "V. C",
Strange Roll of Honor That la Kept
by the Authorities at Famed
Scotland Yard.
A roll of honor which forms a
noble commentary on the impartial
ity of British police methods and the
fairness, of British justice ist says
the Daily Express of London, in the
proud keeping of the authorities at
New Scotland Yard.
It is a roll of honor of men who
forsook their life of crime and vol
untarily offered their lives to their
country on the outbreak of the war.
There are 70 names on the roll. All
of them were criminals and became
clean-living, self-sacrificing soldiers
when they realized that their country
was in peril.
The majority of these 70 men have
been killed in action. Some of them
were decorated for bravery. One
man was awarded the Victoria cross
for a brilliant achievement in the
trenches in France ; another was dec
orated by the czar with the St.
George's cross.
The roll of honor is, of course, not
for public inspection; it is a confi
dential record, and, framed in oak,
it hangs in the private room of Basil
Thomson, assistant commissioner,
criminal investigation department.
TOUCH FORESTALLED.
"Father."
"Yes, my son."
"Mav I er -aJl on you for
$50?""
"Yes. You may call on me for
$100 if you wish."
"Thank you, sir!"
"But you won't get it."
WHAT REALLY COMMENCES.
"Commencement" is not a con
tradictory term. VThat it really
means is the commencement of real
work, real worry and real wisdom for
those who have been in the aviation
corps of educational frivolities.

COSPITinOil PREFERABLE
Feersl Regulation Should Not Bo At
lowsd, to Exclude Exsrelse of Stats
Authority, Hs Contends Thinks Rail
road Stocks Should Rspresent Aotual
Value and Be Stable as Government
Bonds.
Washington, Pec. 11. William X
Bryan., who startled the country ten
years tgo by advocating government
ownership of railroads, appeared be
fore the Newlande Joint Committee on
Interstate Commerce last week in sup
port of the claim that the states should
be allowed to retain authority over the
regulation of all transportation lines
within their borders. Mr. Bryan ex
plained tTmt ho had long regarded gOT
eruniiMit ownership as Inevitable, but
only because of railroad opposition to
effective regulation.
Against Government Ownership.
"Personally I cannot say that I de
sire government ownership," bo ex
plained, "because I lean to the Indi
vidual Idea rather than to the collec
tive idea; that Is, I believe that gov
ernmeut ownership Is dexlrable only
where competition Is linposnllile."
Alfred V. Thorn, eomuwl to the Itnll
way Executives' Advisory Committee,
previously had preHented before th(
members of the Newlands Committer
as ( ne of lils reasons for urging a bet
ter balanced and more systematic reg
ulatlnn of railroads the argument that
this Is the only alternative to govern
mont ownership. Calling attention tc
the restrictions Imposed upon the
traiiHortnflon lines hy conflicting state
laws and regulations, to the practical
ceswtlon of new construction and to the
Impossibility 'under existing conditions
of securing the new capital needed for
x tensions and betterment of railway
facilities, he warned the Congressmen
that unless they provided a fair and
reasonable system of regulation thai
would enable the railroads to meet th
growing need of the country's bust
ness the national government would
bo compelled to take over the owner
ship of the lines with all the evils at
tendant upon such a system.
Preservation of Competition.
Mr. Bryan, on the other hand, boldi
that the further extension of federal
authority over the railroads would be
a step In the direction of government
ow nership. He advanced the view that
the centralisation of control In the
hands of the national government
would Impose too great a burden upon
the regulating lnidy, would offer strong
temptation to rullroads to Interfere In
politics and would enconrase the pen
eral movement toward centralization
of power In the federal government at
the expense of the states. He said that
be did not object to consolidations ot
railroad lines so long as they did not
destroy competition, that he knew of
no complulnt against great rallwa
systems because of their size and that
he lelleved that the pre-tervatlon of
competition was the test to be applied
to all consolidations.
Regulation of Seouritle.
Mr. Bryan decthred himself In favor
of national regulation of railway stock
and bond Issues, hut added that he saw
no reason why that should exclude thi
states from acting on the same sub
Ject as to state corporations. "I would
like to see the stock of a rnllronJ, nt
long as It Is In private hands, made a
substantial and as unvarying as tbi
value of a government bond," be as
serted.
He suggested that railroad capttall
nation be readjusted to equalize It wltl
actual valuation of the property rep
rwented, making due allowance foi
equities, and that when this was done
the roads should be allowed to earn
sufficient Income to keep their stock
at par and to create a surplus. Th
latter, he tentatively proposed, might
be allowed to amount to 2o per cent
of the capital.
Railway Earnings Low.
This sulije t of rrllroad capltnllzatloi
and the amount of railroad earulnp
recelvid further attention from th
committee during Its recent sessions
In answer to questions by Senntoi
Cummins, Mr. Thorn submitted figure
show li'g the net earnings of the road
In recent years. These figures silo
that during the five yenrs from llKf
to lllli) the averauo net earnings wen
5.2.1 per cent of the net capitalization
while for the five years from 1U10 t
1015 the average was only 4.50 e
lent. The total earnings on the rtock
computed by adding to the net oper
itlng Income the income from the se
curltlei owned aud deducting botid In
terest. were for 1910, 7.00 per cent
for 1011, 6.17 per cent; for 1012.' 4.0'
per cent; for 1!13, 5.04 tier cent; foi
1014. 4.0H per cent; for 1015, 3.44 pet
cent, thus showing an almost coutln
uous decrease throughout this six .vein
period. It was ntinoun"ed that Hal
ford Erlckson, formerly chairman ol
the Wisconsin Itailroad Commission
would submit more complete Informa
tion on this subloct to the Cowmltm
at a later date.

MEDIUM OF GOOD STORIES
Episcopal Bishop Is the Here of Many
Amusing Tales Ttiat nave Been
Put In Circulation.
A hundred and one storiea are told
of Dr. Edward Carr Glyn, bishop
of Peterborough, who is resigning
his see, says Ixmdon Tit-Bits. One
of the best concerns a rich and be
nevolent millionaire who was once
boasting to Doctor Glyn of the
amount ho gave annually to charity,
as though he were certain it would
secure hira one of the best scats in
Paradise. "Well," remarked the
bishop, on hearing the amount, "that
is the largest insurance against fire
I ever heard of.
Ilora is aLOther story which the
bishop is rather fond of telling
against himself, lie is a keen mo
torist and also a stanch teetotaler.
While out with his car on one occa
aion, the chauffeur ran short of pe
trol, and pulled up at a public house
for some more. Noticing the bishop
in episcopal dress, tha publican said,
"Yes, I've got plenty of petrol, but
I don't sell it to the likes of them
what never buys my beer."
Of the bishop s wife, Lady Mary
Carr Glyn, an amusing story is told
regarding a visit she once paid to
Peterborough infirmary, to see one
of her servants who had been taken
from the palace suffering from
bums. At the next bed an evange
list was speaking to another patient,
and mistaking Lady Mary for the
patient's mother, gave her a tract,
with the words, "Are you saved,
madam? . Are you sure you are
saved?" Lady Mary replied se
renely, "As nearly as a bishop's wife
can expect to be."
