For a week or ao he had been - noticing a leak in the bottle, and yet ; he could not believe that hie landlady ' would allow any one In hla room, and beside* ho had the key to the trunk in h;» rocket. Nevertheless tha whla- i ky was disappearing faster than It' should. He made marks on tha bottle ; v hen be took a drink and A noted how much the whisky had /alien ihext : morning. It finally dawned on hlrn ! that th*re must'be another key to th< trunk and ho then took a day off from his work to find who was helping him fcr I rid of the Whisky. He told Millie of his trouble.

Wc find ttat after ten years of al most uninterrupted Increases In gross enrnlngs.

In the first half of that year the decrease from the earnings of the corresponding month* of 1903 waa leas than I20.000.o00. So that the year 1908, to July 1, finds the rail roads reporting decreases twelve times as large ns the falling off in the only other period In the last doesdo that did not show Increases. This for midable evidence of the deprosalon we have passed through la qualified, In the opinion of some authorities, by the very fact of the great at vidua In earnings taken by the railroad* In ro- cent year*. They point out that we d«v not have to go ao far back—In deed, only to 1901—to find gross earn ings even less than tho fifreasod flg- urea of 1908.

Mr. Hsrrlmsn satd. on hla return to the east In mid September, that he had apent $180,000,- 000 In Improving the Southern and Union Pacific between 1900 and 1905, and It la well known that correspond ingly large .sum* have gone Into theso properties since 1905.
