TRAINS WILL MOUNT AND CROSS GREAT CONTINENTAL DIVIDE Atlantic to Pacific Run Will Be Shortened Nearly a Day When New Line Is Completed. WHERE THE TRACKS FORM A "LOOP," THE LOWER TRACK BEING 170 FEET BELOW THE TRESTLE. THE RIVER VOL. 24. NO. 19. TRAINS WILL AND CROSS CONTINUE Atlantic to Pacific Run Will Be New Line Is Did you ever hear of the mountain railroads of Colorado? It will amaze you as much as a tale from a story book. One of these lines runs almost due west from Denver. It climbs the great Continental Divide, which rises more than a mile high, a mile west of the city, and this climbing of the Continental Divide is a feat which has astonished civil engineers in every section of the world. If you will look on the map of the State of Colorado you will see a vast empire without a mile of railway stretching between this city and Salt Lake, Utah. The Union Pacific railroad runs north from Denver to Cheyenne, Wyo., and crosses the level plains of Ogden, Utah, turning toward the south to enter the City of the Salts. The Denver & Rio Grande railway runs south to Colorado Springs and Pueblo and swings towards the east, passing through the marine defences, Royal Gorge and follows the Arkansas River, turning northward again to reach Salt Lake City. The Union Pacific railroad runs 627 miles in its passage over the sage brush plains between Denver and Salt Lake City. The Rio Grande runs 741 miles in swinging with many a loop and curve down toward the southern part of the state, in its WHERE THE TRACKS FORM A search for an easy crossing of the great range. If you stand in the streets of Denver and look toward the setting sun you will see why no railroad can easily go in a direct line westward from Colorado's capital. The great range of mountains to the westward of the city raises rampart-like toward the sky, the summits of its lofty peaks being clothed the year around with wreaths of perpetual snow. It had long been the dream of Colorado men to run a railroad toward the west over the top of this great divide and tap the almost limitless resources of the mighty empire that lies beyond this towering wall. This would link the city to Utah with bands of steel, and cut down the running time of trains across the continent so the trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific will be shortened by nearly a day. The company that is now the Burlington road once tried to run a line across this great divide, but the science of civil engineering was not enough advanced in those days to enable it to be done successfully. More than $1,000,000 was tunnels in hills. bridges and grades—only to be abandoned when the men who were furnishing the money saw how desperate was the undertaking to subdue the stupendous forces of nature and cross the barrier of rocky peaks. And now this new road is being built through the most beautiful scenery of the state, and all precedents are shattered by the mighty undertaking. Passes Over the Ridge. It was the practice years ago for --- THE APPEAL. men who were surveying a line of railroad to follow the grade of rivers. The storm during later years has been abated. The Mofaf road, as the line across the river, cuts, cuts across the water courses, follows the ridges of the foot hills, gains little by little in elevation, as it winds up around the lofty sides of the giant peaks and finally traces the length of its shining rails across the top of Rollins Pass, 11,660 feet above the sea. It is worth a journey clear to Colorado to see the wondrous panorama of scenery that spreads away in every direction from the train as the great engines struggle on up the rugged shale. The train leaves Denver in the morning and passes through smiling farm lands where shallow streams murmur along through green meadows and irrigating ditches glisten in the bright Colorado sunshine. The road swings back and forth along the base of the low foot hills, and the engine dragging its train of coaches begins to snort and wave its banner of black smoke as if preparing for a conflict with giants. Before the pass, the engine plains with Denver like a jeweled ornament upon its surface lie below him. The train has climbed to a height which enables the gazer to look eastward for what seems an intermin the Denver you you go Colo- the the the be- with had able distance. On the train struggles up the 2 per cent grade which lies bet- ween Denver and the base of the main range. The track is as smooth as any railroad in the world; the rails are great sections of steel, eighty pounds to the yard—the heaviest made. The road beet is hawn from solid rock and the train rolls over its level surface as easily as a billiard ball propelled across the broadcloth surface of a table. The first forty-five miles of the trip leads up from Denver to the base of the great Continental Divide. South Boulder creek meets the road shortly after the train leaves Denver. After running a few miles the road rises above the creek until finally the stream bowling along bank-full like a veritable torrent, lies hundreds of feet below the pathway of the train. This stream is a favorite resort for trout, which can be seen darting quickly to cover under the sheltering bank of the river. The horse goes thundering by above them. Finally the train pulls into Tolland, situated in the midst of Boulder Park. Tolland is a summer resort place, where a miniature lake filled with YANKEE DOODLE LAKE AND JAMES PEAK. fish nestles like a jewel upon the bosom of the emerald expanses of mountain greensward near the depot. Many residents of Denver have their summer houses in this delightful spot or at some of the numerous pleasant points of scenic interest along the line between Boulder, Park, and Denver.

T and call star drop lose. --- the sides of the mountain ramparts that form the water shed of the continent. When near the top great gulches yawn beside the track, in which mountain streams trickle like threads of silver on their way to the far-off ocean. High above Boulder Park the track swings around two lakes, Yankee Doodle and Jenny lake; one an emerald green and the other as blue as the skies that bend o'er Italy. These bodies of water, snow-born and reflecting the skies and peaks above them since time began, change color as the phases of the sun tint them. Their prismatic quality affords endless entertainment for those who pass; at times they sparkle as the hints ofawn touch their surfaces; then in the glaze the moon they reflect back green and blue and when evening's light gilds them with its hues they mingle red, orange and the colors of fire in their depths. Travelers who have wandered far about the globe say these two mountain lakes are matched nowhere in the world for lonesome atmosphere and the serene beauty of their placid depths. A FEW STORIES Sir Oliver Lodge, the scientist, is a keen golfer and is a master game at the Sutton Coldfield and Felixstowe golf clubs. He was taught the game at St. Andrews thirty years ago by Professor Tait, who said, "You don't play golf with your muscles; you play with your morals." "I hope," added Sir Oliver, after telling the story, "no one will consider my morals are as bad as my golf." Matter of Money. A returning sportsman was met by a friend who exclaimed, "Halloa, old man had any luck shooting?" "I should say I have," replied the other, "shot seventeen ducks in one day." "Were they wild?" asked the friend, interested in the feat. "Well—no—not exactly," responded the sportsman, "but the farmer who owned them." Not His Fault. A first grade boy brought perfect spelling papers home for several weeks, and then suddenly began to miss five and six out of ten. Beyond these lakes the track's windings takes you to a sight that has no counterpart in the world's railroad building. The mountain juts out sheer a thousand feet above the valley, forming a variable point of rock low on the old Lookout Mountain. The track runs along the side of this towering cliff, rising by a steep grade all the way, and just before reaching the farthest point above the gorge below, slips through a short tunnel and goes serenely on its way. This hole in the mountain looks remarkably similar to a keyhole in a door. And Rinkin's Pass! The highest point is 11,600 feet above the tides! This elevated spot is a few miles beyond where the road runs like a thread of steel, through the mighty point of the mountain's rock. 170 FEET BELOW THE TRESTLE. that is thrust out into space. There is something awe-inspiring about this elevated place that you cannot explain. You stand there and try to imagine what the scene is like when the dawn rises out of the abyss to the eastward, or when the sapphire west is kindled with the crimson glow of one of Colorado's hectic sunsets. Huge banks of perpetual snow that defy the sun lie along the track to the astonishment of those who have come from regions where the touch of spring vanquishes the pearly precipitation that has fallen during the winter months. In all the realms of earth where railroads run, there is no sight more startlingly picturesque and strikingly novel than these majestic rows of never melting snow fifty miles from Denver, on the crest of the Continental side. This new line has now been completed 147 miles of the 500 mile stretch between Denver and Salt Lake City. It is the only line of railroad in the United States under construction. The territory which it opens for settlement is 500 miles long by 250 miles wide, the largest fertile area in the dominions of Uncle Sam without a railroad. It is estimate that this line will be completed in two years more and that Denver will leap to a city of 300,000 people, so great will be the stimulus of the new territory opened up. There is coal, gold and silver mines and immense stretches of rich agricultural lands, so vast that all the states of New England might be dropped into this vast area and be lost. --- A FEW STORIES Sir Oliver Lodge, the scientist, is a keen golfer and is a member of the Sutton Coldfield and Fellixstone golf clubs.

More Fact. $2.40 PER YEAR ALL GET THE FEVER COMPLAINT PECULIAR TO THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Residence at Washington Seems Invariably to Afflict Public Men with What Is Sometimes Called "Swelled Head." "I can tell you what is the matter with him," said a woman who has spent the greater part of her life in Washington. She had been listening to a conversation in the course of which an official had been warmly criticised. "His case," she went on, "is simply an aggrudated one of what I call Washington fever. I have seen scores, I may say hundreds, of public men come here to the capital in one berth or another, and sooner or later the Washington fever attacks nine out of ten of them. "There's one sign of the disease, though, that nobody misses. You can always spot a case of Washington fever by gently manipulating the patient's sense of importance. If a pronounced enlargement is detected the diagnosis is unmistakable. "I have a very interesting case of the disease in my age. The subject was a western man who had been placed in charge of a certain bureau in one of the department buildings. He hadn't been there long before he pranced pompously around to see the captain of the watch in that building with a demand that one of the watchmen be discharged. "It it seems that when the official, whose name you've never even heard and probably never will hear, would come in at the door where the watchman was stationed the latter merely bowed and said: 'Good morning, Mr. Blank,' or something like that. He did not hop up, take off his hat and pull his forelock, as the official demanded he should. "Well, I won't insist upon the forelock business, but the rest is true. The little official was hurt in his very much swelled dignity. "You have thought he might be appeased by the courtesan that the watchman be required to jump up and salute his passage. But no; discharge was what he craved. "I don't care so much for myself," said he, "but what would the public say?" "The poor little man would have fits if he knew that the public doesn't care a toot of a penny whistle about him. He's got the Washington fever and he feels as big as Washington, Jefferson, and a whole bunch of Adams all put together. They all get at least a touch of it now and then."

Secretary Taft as a Reporter Like Chief Justice Fuller, Secretary Wilson and other men high in the public service and confidence, Secretary Taft began his career as a newspaper man. The first money earned by him after being graduated from Yale was the court reporter on a Cincinnati paper, the old Commercial Gazette, then edited by Murat Halstead. Mr. Taft started at six dollars a week, and when he quit worked up to "20 per." All the time he was thus engaged he was studying law at night under his father's direction. Necessity did not drive him to the work, but his father was a man of fortune, but the secretary chose because it was the readiest entrance to active employment that brought him daily in contact with lawyers and court proceedings. The secretary likes to discuss newspaper work with reporters. He uses the shop terms with a familiarity denoting his former experience in the business, and understands how to outline a "story" for the "boys" as well as any member of the administration.

SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1008. this outburst of down south logic: "The Haitian government is a disgrace to civilization, demonstrating clearly the inability of the black race to conduct orderly administration of affairs when left to itself. As important foreign interests are involved, and as this country is morally bound for the proper behavior of Haiti, our government at Washington must either permit the European powers to chastise Haiti and take such steps as may be necessary to establish an orderly government in the island or take the initiative itself to do away with the existing condition of affairs and take hold of the situation with a firm hand. The black republic is an arrant humbug and a menace to civilization, hence the sooner it is ended the better for all concerned." The Picayune fails to see that the United States, under a fair application of the principle, should begin at home and reform some other governments, which are a disgrace to civilization; for instance, that of Louisiana.

So far as "orderly" is concerned, Haiti compares favorably with Louisiana; for in Louisiana a majority of the citizens are distranchised by tricky evasions of the Federal Constitution; in Louisiana the Federal government cannot carry out the provisions of her treaties with foreign powers. Would the Picayune be willing for the United States, or Italy to bombard New Orleans on account of the inability of the illiterate Louisiana Democrats to "conduct orderly administration of" any other affairs, besides a lynching? GEORGIA'S HOAX The country has scarcely recovered from the thrill of horror caused by the news that Senator Jeff Davis had been well thrashed by a high-collared Little Rock rooster, and now comes the news that that great and good statesman, Governor Hoax Smith of Georgia, has been subjected to great indignities by a gang of undesirable citizens. The dispatch reads as follows: "Bombarded with lemons and hooted by a crowd who added to their noises with cow bells, Gov. Hoke Smith was prevented from speaking here in support of his candidacy for a second term." The incident occurred at Marietta, a dilapidated old town a few miles from Atlanta, which used to have some reputation as a summer resort for the Georgia elite. THE AP-EAL fails to conceive of any good reason for this violence of the properties; for Hoax is a many-sided man. He cultivates the religious element by being an elder in the Presbyterian church and superintendent of a Sabbath school and conciliates the bacchanalians by being part owner of the Piedmont Hotel bar. Moreover, Hoax knows just what should be done with the wicked Afro-Americans, who are not Presbyterian elders and do not own shares in the Piedmont bar. He has discoursed very sapiently concerning their case and laid down wise laws for their management. He knows exactly what to do with them; but it seems that the time he wasted on higher education could have been more profitably employed in learning how to dodge a fusilade of lemmons and in outbraying an orchestra of cowbells. New Jersey has inaugurated measures for the suppression of anarchy by passing the "Burpo bill." The Burp bill makes it a high misdemeanor for any person to advocate by speech, writing, printing or any other means the unlawful burning or destruction of public or private property or to advocate or encourage assaults upon the army of the United States, the National Guard or the police of any State or municipality or the killing or injuring of any class or body of persons or of any individual. It would seem that the Burpo hill would be as effective against lynchers as against any other anarchists. And this is fortunate; for lynchers are anarchists of the worst type, and have committed' more murders and destroyed more property than the anarchists ever dreamed of. the harbor of Harvard says. "The two enemies of the white woman in the south are 'the black brute', whom the southern press is never tired of describing, and the southern buzzard journalist, who spreads her name and her dreadful story abroad to become the seed of another like crime." The erudite professor should have added to his enumeration another and most potent enemy—the white brute recognized as a gentleman, who devotes more of his time and money to his dark-skinned concubine than to his white wife, whose name is legion. Perhaps he has forgotten the case which occurred in New Orleans not long since, in which a dark-skinned "assistant wife" make a city official a defaulter and fugitive and his family paupers. Oklahoma legislature is considering a bill to prohibit the display of wooden Indians as cigar-store signs. Indians have votes out in Oklahoma. —New York Herald. There is a great deal of sound philosophy in the foregoing squib Oh, yes, you must be very careful of the feelings of our sensitive Indian brother; for Indians have votes. Afro-Americans have no votes down in Jimcrowdom; that's the reason why he is excluded from the jury box, swindled, mobbed and lynched. And yet, the census returns show that less than one half of the Afro-Americans are illiterate, and that is a great deal more than can be said of the Southern Democrats. Statistics collected by the American Journal of Education show that the United States is one of the most illiterate of civilized nations, the ratio being 107 per thousand. One person in every nine of ten years and older is illiterate. But see how this compares with England, Scotland or Holland, where only one person in forty is illiterate. In Switzerland one person in 166 can not write, in Denmark one in 500, in Sweden and Norway one in 1,250, and in Germany illiteracy is virtually unknown. Of course the South is in the worst condition, and Louisiana is about on a level with Timbutocto. A very amusing incident occurred in Little Rock, Ark., as a sequel to the recent Democratic primaries. A Little Rock attorney whom Jeff Davis had willified in the canvass gave the senator a severe beating with the senator's own gold-headed cane. We presume that the attorney intended to give Jeff a hint that he had better be attending to his duties in Washington instead of trying to run Arkansas. At all events the incident was very amusing. FEMININITY IS AID TO FIGURE DESERVED POPULARITY OF THE PRINCESS SLIP. Garment Does Away with Separate Petticoat and Corset Cover—Used with Narrow Lace and Embroidery Decoration. The princess slip has been growing in favor ever since it was introduced as a part of the princess gown outfit.

Ribbon Necklet, Appropriately Tied, Is the Latest in Gay City. A narrow ribbon necklet tied around the collar and looped simply in front, where it is finished with two long tassels, is now almost universally worn abroad, and it is most becoming when narrow velvet ribbon is chosen. In that case, of course, the tassels are worn with a glum dress or a private worn with almost any costume except the stricty tail-made shirts with stiff collars, for it may be worn with any guimpe dress or yoke blouse, even if made of inexpensive material. Of course, it precludes the possibility of wearing a jeweled necklace of any sort, for milady would look laden down with any additional ornamental jewels, and be worn so long that it would be a brief to lay them away in the jewel case for a space, so that when they are -esurrected they may seem new. More About New Skirts. While the gored skirt is well-like, the circular and circular gored sort show every sign of increasing vogue. Either style lends itself to the band trimmings, as well as to the newer, but no more attractive panel designs, and there is every indication that much liberty will be allowed in this connection throughout the summer. The tunic, thus far, is confined to formal costumes, but is frequently suggested—more or less vaguely—by the method of gariture. This means that a panel, or a series of panels, is sometimes fitted with a band, either of braid or of material, curved, and otherwise shaped to outline a tunic. And, again, it means that a plain skirt may have the bands so arranged that the skirt is, to all effects, in two parts. To Launder Muslin Dresses. It is quite a problem to know just how to do up lawn and muslin dresses so they will not be too stiff. The following rule is an excellent one: Dissolve a tablespoonful of gum arabic in about three quarters of water and use this liquid in place of, starch. After the articles are dried, sprinkle and coat the dough with gum arabic not stick to the iron and gives the goods the stiffness and look of new material. Once tried you will never use starch for delicate fabrics. In Soft ivory Whites They Are to Be Much Worn. The prophecy seems to have come true that white serge will be more popular than white linen this summer. It is woven in an excellent way, quite thin and soft, and the price is reasonable. It is not hard to get the cream shades, but it is difficult to get dead white; therefore, the majority of good suits are in the soft ivory white. Of course, stripes are in the serges as well as in every other fabric, but a plain suit of cream serge is more stylish than a plain suit of any other color. The black and white stripe is very smart, but the stripes should be almost gray and quite narrow. Black velvet collar and cuff seem appropriate but not in first style. Bright green velvet or silk, sapphire blue and leaf brown are used instead of the black. The turnover cuff has given place to the sleeve that fares over the hand without a cuff. This is slashed at the back and fastened with buttons. fastened in the back, although some persons prefer to have them fastened up the side, and for certain frocks it is even possible to have the slip fastened in front, which is convenient if one is obliged to dress without a maid. But, alas! it is very rarely practicable, for most frocks demand the slip fastened in the back. Narrow inces and small, dainty patterns in embroidery are now considered correct for the decoration of the primitive slip, which is often used on the bodice and the flounces of the skirt, except that the bodice trimming is usually made perfectly flat, so as not to interfere with the lines of the outer bodice. The skirt flounces, on the contrary, are always more attractive when there is something quite fuzzy in their decoration. Many of the white slips to be worn with gowns of pale colors—pink, blue, etc. are trimmed with narrow valenciennes and cluny and with delicate little embroideries in color. Vertical insertions of valenciennes are set in in a row across the lower part of the bodice, and above this are little vertical embroideries of sweet peas in delicate pink and green. The skirt flares very much at the bottom, and the lower part has two flouces set in, one above the other, the upper one being cut out in deep points around the bottom. Both of these flouces are trimmed with vertical insertions of valenciennes, those on the lower flouce being set on at regular intervals. The insertions on the upper flouce are trimmed of three to trim each point. Above this trimming there were the delicate sweet pea vines, as on the bodice, all put on to run up and down. This some idea would be carried out in lavender, sweet peas on a gray or white silk slip or in mignonette on a green silk. The embroidery, of course, carries out the color suggestion of the overress. It is not supposed to show through the flouce, but the those little touches of perfection which distinguish the clothes of the very daintily dressed woman. Embroideries of the same color— white if the slip be white—are also used to supplement the lace decoration. These also are kept very slightly smooth and ideal for use to be to secure perfection of workmanship rather than a mass of trimming. IN FAINTLY STRIPED TWEED. Walking Costume Designed for Girl of 14 to 16 Years of Age. Faintly striped tweed in two shades of grey is used for this costume, the skirt is trimmed near the foot with galloon the same shade as the darkest one. The little jacket is a favorite pattern with young girls; it is semi-fit. A girl in a dress with a large hat. ting at the back, and loose in front, fastening like a Chesterfield coat. The collar and cuffs are faced with velvet, edged with galloon. Straw hat, in a pretty shade of green, trimmed with large ribbon bow and a fancy buckle. Materials required: $5\frac{1}{2}$ yards 46 inches wide, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk for lining jacket, four yards sateen for lining skirt, one-half yard velvet, five yards galloon. No Home Complete Without It. The Thibetan Bible contains 108,000 pages. This leaves plenty of room for mother to hide her noncy—Chicago Journal. The only touch of color on it is the binding, that must correspond with the collar. Another experiment in color combinations is to use a bone button in front and on sleeves to match color of the collar. A cream serge skirt without a stripe in it will have an emerald green velvet collar with buttons to match. It is better on youth than middle age. There is no objection to the black velvet collar and cuffs. They are worn and the cuffs always be preferred to another color by many women. When combined with the plain cream or even the cream with the black stripe, they also give a chance for the vivid hats, belts and cravats that one wishes to wear. A blue or a green collar restricts one somewhat in the choice of colored accessories. French Wives in Business. Wives of French business men, as is well known, quite commonly assist in their husbands' commercial affairs, and for such wives it is claimed that they "afford much help by being, even 'after hours,' always willing to talk" ```markdown ``` An unsectarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, College, Normal College Regulatory and English High School courses, with Industrial Training.

The Attraction at the Star Next Week If one is looking for a perfect riot of fun, associated with genuinely clever comedy and specialty acts, good singing and meritorious dancing, there is no better place to find them when the High IKF triumphs in their musical comedy success by Dave Marion, entitled "Roseland." John Price and Phil Mills, two of the cleverest comedians in America, and a company of thirty people have been engaged to dispense the fun, the production has proven to be one of the most popular and successful years. It is a laugh producer and a side splitter from beginning to end, with never a dull line for a moment, the curtain rises to the opening scene until its finale. The story serves an excellent vehicle to introduce the characters to characteristic musical numbers of which there is an abundance. The scenery and costumes are very beautiful and elaborate in every detail. Extra! "Original Girl in Blue." He—Yes; but he doesn't want it in one batch of biscuits.

Nevada Man Gives Points on Booming Lucky Strikes. They were in a group in the St. Francis lobby talking Rawhide prospects. "Let's go up to Bonneau's room," suggested one of the gathering. "Too many people down here listening to everything we say." "And you claim to be a Nevada mining man?" asked Frank Bonneau in a low voice. "Talk like this mean sales, man. We stay right here as long as there are interested listeners." Then resuming his normal voice he laughed and continued: "Well, right after he made that lucky strike he flashed a new suit, which has a winner. He had hoisted it to Nevada without a bean. Now look what he worth. Front of a saloon one day a fool practical joker slipped up behind and lighted his celluloid collar. Jury brought in 'justifiable homicide' and he gave the joker's family a cool $50,000, which was big money for him, but nothing for him with his rock running $600 to the ton." "Bulls" in Parliament. Young though the parliamentary session is, it has already been enlivened by a couple of "bulls," one of the perpetrators being Lord Balfour of Burleigh. He was recently making some remarks in the house of lords, and was speaking to another peer: "The noble lord lakes head—and I very glad to hear it." About the same time, in the house of commons, W. P. Byles, the member of North Salford, complained that the Patriotic Fund Corporation were storing up very large sums of money which were given for these very widows, who were dying off long before they got their money."—Tit-Bits. The Limit In Politics An aspirant for office was talking to an old farmer on one of the bank corners the other day. The aspirant is a chronic officeseeker, and was heard to say in a subdued tone, "The office should seek the man." The old farmer seemed a little surprised at first, but remembered that he had heard the remark before, and said, with a wink: "Well, yes; but it shouldn't run after him more than thirty or forty years." Easy for Him. "Brother," said the evangelist to a man who had expressed a wish to abandon h's past and adopt a better way of living, "do you think you can walk in the straight and narrow path?" "Strisht and narrow?" smiled the new convert. "Why, parson, that will be a clinch for me. I've been a tight-roon walker for ten years." "Bigey doesn't bother about politics any more, does he?" "No, indeed." "No, indeed." "Let me see, when was it that he got the guernatorial bee in his bonnet?" "Just before he got it in the neck." Expensive Cigars. One of the principal cigar manufactories of Havana has lately been making some enormous cigars which measure eighteen inches long and six inches in circumference.

Phone Main 3183 L2 MINNEAPOLIS One Corporation Publishes a Text-book for New Employees. A large corporation has lately shown its appreciation of the value of giving new employees a thorough general knowledge of the business by publishing a book describing in an interesting fashion all the details of the company's work. It is a volume of over 200 pages, illustrated with fac simile cuts of various reports and other forms used. A copy is furnished every employee and he is expected to master not merely the portions pertaining to his own work, but the entire book. Quizzes are held at frequent intervals (throughout the organization and dismissal is the penalty for ignorance of any subject treated in the volume. "It costs us about $2,000 to publish this book," says the president of the company, "but we consider it money well invested and we are planning to issue a new and up-to-date edition every year." "When a man enters our employ he is told to read this manual and do nothing else until he has thoroughly mastered it. This gives him a general knowledge of the business, and if there are any points he does not understand they are cleared up before he begins work." SITTING IT OUT. .A Sharp Attack Which Brought the Young Man to His Feet. He was a fragile youth and didn't dance all the dances. "Let's sit it out," he said to his pretty partner. "On the stairs?" she suggested. So they went up and sat down. "Ah!" cried the fragile youth suddenly, and rose hastily, gasping for breath. "Why, Mr. Stackpole, what's the matter?" cried the fair young girl. He could not answer. His face was livid, his eyes were rolling, and his whole frame was shaking. "What kind of attack is it?" she gasped. And at this interrogation his voice returned to him. "What earthly difference does that make," he growled, "so long as it was one" Then, without a word of apology, he strode manfully away. But how was she to know that the particular description of attack was just an ordinary tack, acrobatically standing on its head? A Mind Reader. Pat had get hurt—not much more than a scratch, it is true, but his employer had visions of being compelled to keep him for life, and had adopted the wise course of sending him at once to the hospital. After the house surgeon had examined him carefully, he said to the nurse: "As subcutaneous abraison is not observable, I do not think there is any reason to apprehend tegumental cicatrization of the wound." Then, turning to the patient, he asked, quizzically: "What do you think, Pat?" "Sure, sir," said Pat. "you're a wonderful mind reader, doctor. You took the very words out of my mouth. That's just what I was going to say!" Variety at Sea. For variety at sea, once when we had been practicing with the six-inch guns, and were "securing" for dinner hour, we saw a monster spouting off our starboard beam. We begged to take a shot at it, and the officer of the deck, recognizing an impromptu target, gave us leave. We fired two shots, and the expression, "a sea of blood," which I had always looked upon as an extravagance of speech, became a reality. When we returned from mess the ocean for a mile surrounding the whale was as red—well, as red as blood.—From "Three Years Behind the Guns" in April St. Nicholas. At This Season Little Willie looked up from his novel. "Poppa," he said, "what does a man's better half mean?" "What she says," Mr. Enpeque answered sadly. And with a sigh the little man resumed the verification of his wife's Easter millinery bill, which she had promised would be very large. Vermont's War Governor. Frederick Holbrook, governor of Vermont during the civil war, recently celebrated his ninety-fifth birthday. He is the oldest living ex-governor and one of the three surviving war governors. In spite of his advanced age, he still retains active interest in public affairs. A Generous Request. Porter Emerson Browne came into the office yesterday. He had been out in the country for a week and was very cheerful. Just as he was leaving, he said, "Did you hear about the man who died the other dya and left all he had to the orphanage?" "No," some one answered. "How much did he leave?" A Suggestion. Aged Admirer—Think of all the luxuries a rich husband like me could give you. Miss Do Young—Oh, a rich father would do just as well. Marry my mother! More Substantial. "He makes a fine living by his pen." "Is he such a popular writer?" "Writer, nothing! He raises pigs." Phone Dale 821-J H.
