Seeing that he was trapped, the motorman first tried to back through the gate behind him. Then the con- ductor signaled him to go ahead. The motorman shot his car forward. Kane had started to raise the gates to let the car out of the trap. The re- * sult was that when the car. broke x through, the shattened end of the gate * raked its sides, breaking windows.

One of 3 Receivers for Road Says Now Is Time for Action. Now is an opportune time for the so- lution of the grade-crossing controversy, , according to FE. B. Pryor, one of the receivers of the Wabash Railroad. A : conference is to be held next week with ‘ the Board of Public Improvements to consider plans for the elimination of grade crossings, he told a Post-Dispatch reporter Thursday. Pryor read with much interest an ed- itorial in the Post-Dispatch Wednesday evening suggesting that grade crossings be eliminated by the Wabash west of Union avenue, including the crossings which affect the two main north en- trances to Forest Park west of King’s highway, and at Delmar boulevard. Pryor and W. K. Bixby, two of the three receivers of the Wabash, live in St. Louis. Heretofore the officials con- ‘trolling the railroad have been men » living outside of St. Louis and who * were not so intimately interested in the ' welfare of the city as are Pryor anda « Bixby. “Mr. Bixby and I feel that we are in a position now to recommend the :p- proval by our road of any practica: , plan that will solve the grade crossing * question,” Pryor said. “It is a large * question and presents many engineer- ing difficulties. " “Tf the city authorities will present * a plan which is fair both to the railroad » and to the public we will ‘not hesitate * to recommend it and put it into action. I have no plans under consideration myself; but we are waiting for the city to present a practical solution of the problem. If they will be fair with the railroads I think the long controversy stands a better chance of being settled now than ever before. “We expect to confer with the Board of Public Improvements next week, and if it can outline a good plan we will do our part. I think the suggestion in the Post-Dispatch that the matter should be settled now is a good one. If * it is not settled at this time. I look fof e a continued long fight in the courts.

Simple Home Remedy ‘for Kidneys and Bladder A simple and easy way to cure weak, deranged kidneys or bladder is to use the following formula: Get six ounces good pure gin and add to it one-half ounce Murax Compound and one-half ounce fluid = extract Buchu. Take one to two teaspoon- fuls of this mixture after each meal and at bedtime. Nearly all good druggists have these ingredients. Anyone can mix. One should be sure to get good pure gin, also the genu- ine Murax Compound, which comes} only in a sealed wooden package, as any substitute will aot give the de- sired results. Weak kidneys or bladder should be given attention as soon as any of the well-known symptoms are no- fticed. Neglect in the matter is dan- ferous,as the serious forms, Bright’s disease, chronic rheumatism or dread diabetes, may develop. These can be avoided if the above simple mixture is used before complications set in.— >

Among the suggestions was “home for homeless dogs,” a “home for women who had seen better days’ and a “liquor cure.”” One man wanted Purcell to buy & saloon and “‘give away liquor to men who needed it, but could not pay.”’ An- Other thought it good charity to help poor inventors who could not command capital.

ad- the —_—————_¢¢99@— - HUSBAND-MURDER EPIDEMIO. Ex-Lieutenant-Governor C. P. Johnson attrib- utes the amazing increase of late in the murder of husbands by wives to the spread of the suf- frage movement. He presents his argument in such a way as to avoid the necessity of showing that women who embrace the new doctrine of equality are more apt to kill their husbands than other women. He contends that the effect is psychological. The setting up of new standards in- volves a drifting away from the old. With a clearer perception of what is their due, women have a keener sense of grievance under domestic infelicity and greater daring in resentment. He can hardly make his case. Some of the women sovereigns of history, invested with the masculine prerogative of rule, have run largely to homicide, but hardly more so than many men sovereigns. If there is a relation of cause ani effect between greater independence for women and busband murder, why hasn't “new woman” psychology given us a longer list of husband mur- ders in Wyoming, where full equality has been in effect since 18697 It may be a case of the op- pressed, stirred by depiction of their wrongs, ris- ing against oppressors. Why, however, should op. pressed women be more inclined to rise when emancipation is almost in sight than when their prospéct seemed hopeless? The real reason probably !s that “mimicry” to whieh Mr. Johnson attributes the epidemic of confessions. One vicious woman who murders her husband may supply a suggestio:. to many less ‘Vielous but equally unhappy women. . as: ; THE UNITED STATES OF CHINA. Dr. Ng Poon Chew is making an eloquent ap- peal for American sympathy in behalf of the Chinese Republic. He says the American Re- public is the only nation to which the Chinese can look for aid in their effort to establish free government. No encouragement can be expected from Eu- rope. Every one of the strong European nations has taken advantage of China’s weakness to steal good harbors and valuable territory. Every one has exploited China. Naturally, the mon- archies of Europe do not want a powerful re- public dominating Asia and not only teaching the Asiatics how to govern themselves, but pro- tecting them from European encroachment. Japan naturally regards with disfavor the progress of China to renewed organized strength under free republican institutions. It is a men- ace to the Japanese monarchy and Japanese dom- ination of Asia. The irony of Dr. Ng cuts like a knife when he tells how China has been taught by Christian na- tions that might is right and has been forced to study the arts of war in order to protect her resources from the bandit nations of Christian civilization. China has learned under the tute- lage of the followers of the Prince of Peace that the best nation is that which can kill the most people in the shortest time, with the least ex- pense. | The United States has not robbed China. We alone have played the part of a friend and have refused to join the European, plunderbund which seeks to crush and dismember the ancient empire. Now is the time to prove our friendship and demonstrate the sincerity of our devotion to the principles of free government. We should en- courage the aspiration of the Chinese. We should give them @ffective sympathy and co-operation. At the earliest possible moment we should recog- nize the Republic of China. The Manchu dynasty is a thing of the past and the time is ripe for the acceptance of the republic. The future of Asia beiongs to China. That populous country organized into a powerful na- tion will dominate the continent. We should yail with joy the prospect that the dominant na- tion of Asia will enjoy and exemplify the bless- ings of liberty and will nourish democracy. The dream of Dr. Ng that the United States of Amer- ica and the United States of China, bound to- gether in amity, will insure peace and progress in the Orient may become a reality. —_—_—_—___$—_~¢¢¢- It is just as well to interrupt the talk about presidential possibilities long enough to catch the drift of what Gen. Felix Agnus of the Baltimore American has to say about a presidential impossi- bility, namely, Theodore Roosevelt. ooo HANGING ON. The latest official reports of United Railways debt reduction show that the straphangers of St. Louis. are a great financial power. They can bring on the millennium for themselves and all con- cerned simply by hanging on, as they have been doing. In St. Louis and every other city, publie utilities, capitalized on the expectation of increas- ing future use, will be in a position to become public benefactors, as soon as public use increases sufficiently to supply the cash they did not have to begin on. When the public pays off their bondholders, they can accommodate the publie luxuriously and have increasing millions of net profits for their stockholders. 5 This millennium will come as soon as they are actually “financed.” As financing demands real cash, it is being supplied so fast by increasing public use that nothing except new processes of watering can prevent the end of existing condi- tions from being reached. Once on a cash basis, the managers of public utilities can afford to be philanthropists and public benefactors. All that is needed to make them so is patience on the part of straphangers and others who must hang onto such problems whether they like it or not.

L> La» — a ae THE CULBERSON RESOLUTION. Senator Culberson advocates an inquiry into the use of money in politics. It is said the Sen- will report unfavorably on_ his inquiry resolution. Why, however, has the House, with its serutiny in so many other directions. ueglected a field promising results so exceptional] and certain? Fortuitous events offer an answer as the years pass to some part of the 10 questions addressed by the Post-Dispatch and New York World to Chairman Cortelyou in 1904. An incident in the Armstrong investigation made known that the four great life insurance companies had given yellow dog donations of $150,000 to the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904, whose total Mr. Culber- son says reached the colossal figure of $11,000,000. Publication through an alleged breach of faith of the Sidney Webster letter informed us that Mr. Harriman raised a corruption fund of $260,- G00 that year, to which he gave $50,000 himself. li has been charged that H. McK. Twombly, representing Vanderbilt interests, and H. C. Frick, raised $50,000 each that year for the “cause.” Mr. Roosevelt has said the Oil Trust donated $100,000, but that it was returned. Was it really sent back? What was the amount of the Beef Trust contri- bution Mr. Armour admitted was made? What was the total 1904 contribution of interests allied with the Steel Trust, which was to receive in the Tennessee Coal & Iron deal of 1907 most sig- nificant evidence of its pull with a partial ex- ecutive? | What was the contribution of the Sugar Trust, which was to coutinue its gigantic frauds undis- turbed until Mr. Roosevelt went out of office? How much did the Paper Trust, the Coal Trust, the Tobaceo Trust, contribute? How much the national banks? An inquiry specifically instituted to answer these questions and backed by the full Federa] authority would reveal many things. Conducted in a spirit of fairness, with a view to bringing out the truth, irrespective of the implication, it could render in the early months of a campaign year incalculable service to the voters.

ate committee

The vastuess of the system of direct and indirect around the City Hall is, corruption and the close relation between the amount of campaign contributions and the bestow- al of Government favors, from ambassadorships to immunity for violation of criminal laws, will never be believed by the people until] the truth is established by sworn testimony in a public proceeding.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In Sunday’s issue of the Post-Dispatch two half-columns were used to explain how C. BE. Pratt, owner of two hotels, lives luxuriously and Saves money on $12 per week. Mr. Pratt’s “prattle” is disgusting. As for col- lars at 12 cents a dozen, one department store, now out of business, had such a sale about a year ago. Nearly all of the collars were yellow with age, probably “’49 models,” and some of them would have been mistaken by a near-sighted per- son to be cuffs. Shirts at $1.80. per dozen, ye gods; straw hats for a dime: overcoats for $4 and $1 each; secondhand shoes, 75 cents a pair, ye gods again; good (7?) meals in downtown res- taurants—get that?—good meals in downtown restaurants for 10 and 15 cents. “We go into society and entertain our friends.” How society must clamor for a $12 man with a 15-cent shirt, a l-cent collar, $4 overcoat and a six-bit pair of secondhand shoes! Ten dollars a month for table expenditures—33 1-3 cents per day—and find it necessary to worry how to keep from becoming fat. Good readers, what is the verdict on a man who will put up such a “spiel” when wage-earners are being underpaid and the prices of necessities are steadily advancing? F. G. SLAUGHTER.

Profit in Strap-Hangers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We surely are a long-suffering community. The United Railways Co. recently announced increased profits in 1911 amounting to $688,000. To do this they carried 7,164,669 more passengers, with 80,622 fewer car trips. At this rate of “progress,” I am likely to re- main A STRAP-HANGER. Living on the Scraps. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ¢ I have read with much interest the letter on economy by O. E. Pratt. The reason it interested me was because it plainly exhibits a phase of liv- ing that is a bar to human progress, In the first place, Mr. Pratt does not live—nhe exists. He hangs on to life by the scraps that others refuse. That which is good and perfect in the works of craftsmanship and nature alike are unknown to him. The best product of the gardener and the horticulturist must rot and de- cay and that of our craftsmen must become anti- quated and shopworn, both sinking to a value far below the cost of production, before they reach the niggardly price he boasts of paying for them. He goes through life living upon scraps and crumbs in antiquated attire, offering no encour- agement by his patrimony to those whose aim it is to produce a better and higher quality of goods for the world. And this, too, after he has accum- ulated a fortune and is not compelled to continue such a course from necessity. Mr. Pratt should be careful how he gives advice to others to follow his example, lest the price of specked apples and secondhand clothes be bulled beyond the reach of his conception of prices. In which event he might starve to death before they came down again. ". & 2, Please Excuse Her! To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Young lady wishes to express her regret that her hatpin struck gentleman’s face Monday and to advise others not to use long pins in small hats. * SO SORRY, **Political Gratitude.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your very able editorial, ‘Political Gratitude,” touches the exact spot:—‘'Tt is-a dangerous vir- tue in public men.” Every man should be voted for and elected because the people consider him the best man for the public service sought, and he owes no man anything if he gives the seryice they elect him to. perform. If he “makes good’—an ideal public servant does his duty and gives his best services—he owes the public nothing; he has paid in full in good services for the honor and his salary. Any man voting for a candidate who thinks he owns the candidate, is unworthy of consideration, Everything you say about Woodrow Wilson's “Political Ingratitude” appiies to Gov. Folk. That is why so many of the bosses in St. Louis and Missouri are fighting him. Folk had the trial between political gratitude and public anq per- sonal honor. He even had to prosecute the man who made it possible for him to be Circuit A¢- terney, in order to be a man—an honest man. Such men as Woodrow Wilson and Joseph W. Folk should be encouraged by the people, as it is too often that “political gratitude” is “pub- lic plunder,” and injures the very men who re- ceive it. You are right—‘Politica} Gratitude” is a dangerous virtue in public men., MERIT. City Hall Surroundings. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Having been hearing for years of tentative propositions to beautify the surroundings of the City Hall and Municipal Courts Building by the acquirement of the property from Market street north, possibly to Olive street, the idea has tm- pressed itself upon me that it would be possible to materially relieve the situation without park- ing the outlying property if, tn grading and em- bellishing the block bounded by Twelfth street, Fourteenth street, Market street and Clark ave- nue, approximately forty feet be added to the paved area of each of said streets bounding the block; this would so0 materially widen the streets that a very conspicuous {mprovement would re- sult; even though it would cut down the area of the lawn {it would enhance the appearance of the buildings, as relatively they would appear larger and more imposing. . I have also noted that the scheme of lighting to say the least, not good. The arcs are improperly disposed for ef- fective ftllumination and I am reminded of taking a look down a dark alley-way with a few scat- tered lights disposed along the lines of the ad- joining buildings. I understand that it is costing several thousand dollars to regrade and sod this block. Why not make some material improve-

ST. LOUIS PRESS ON ROOSEVELT. Taft's Friends Will Fight. From the St. Louis Times. This statement from Gov. Hadley would indicate that the Republican par- ty has in it but two men who are wortliy to be thought of in connection with the presidency. It goes without saying that Mr. Taft’s friends will make a vigorous fight for his renomination and election. In the event that a contest between the President and Mr. Roosevelt reaches a point where the conclusion is difficult, it may be necessary for the Republican party to span the breach with another piece of timber. “No Third Term.” From the St. Louis Republic. third-term party 1s there will ever be a dent. If a political ever SO the people will put it where it belongs. But it {is a shame none the less to this American people that for any reason or for any excuse a man once President of the United States can be persuaded against his word and his better judg- ment that his services are “necessary” and that in the train of his flatterers and followers should appear the Govern- or of Missouri. The Republican Situation, From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat., Yesterday Gov. Hadley of Missouri an- nounced that he is for the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. As it is cus- tomary to renominate 4 good president, it is still difficult to think that Mr. Taft will be deprived of that honor. On the whole, he has made a good President. He has endeavored, in good faith, to carry out the promises of the platform on which he stood in 1908. Nobody, Dem- ocrat or Republican, has questioned his sincerity. oe °

AMERICAN STEEL ABROAD, From the Philadelphia Record. Japan has ordered a hundred miles of steel rails and fastenings from the steel corporation. England, Germany § and Belgium make these articles seek diligently in every part of the world for orders. We presume the steel corpora- tion got the contract because it made a lower price than any of its rivals, if there is real competition, and, if there is not, then it got the contract by assign- ment from the international combine of railmakers which accords to the United States a little more than % per cent of the world’s rail export business. In either case we have gratifying evidence that American railmakers can meet for- eign competition, even tn foreign coun- tries. and

Another still came after these, And slightly bended at the knees With bearing up by dint of grit And strength the following, to-wit: The Surveyor of the Port. The fourth was short and somewhat stout, And at some pains to get about; But none the less, the job was his, And he bore this contribution, viz: The Whiskey Gauger.

yOUR MOUTH MUST BE SWEET

ba. Burke Says It Tells Secrets About Your ‘ Age and Disposition and Is the Key to Your Good Looks.

Written for the Post-Dispatch By Billie Burke.

Lesson. ATCH your mouth. It is the most fas- cinating feature you possess and most treacherous. It re- ets your innermost thoughts, ells many a tale never meant ‘ ing to show age. be known and is the first Sometimes, ig the mouth alone that gives uty to a plain face, and again is the expression of the mouth t mars the whole picture. VERY unpleasant mood, every dis- agreeable thought, every unkind word leaves its imprint there. Whenever I see a woman, ruth- twisting her lips out of shape, Ming (xem, or Grawing them down at corners in discontent, I feel like wing out “Stop that; don’t you know t just so long as your mouth Is me your face will remain vo ung.’”’ /Den’t think for an instant you can 1 + duige in fits of temper or a case of sulks without your mouth telling you. It is a perfect barometer which rds every rise and fall in your ami- lity. ‘Worry over trifles draws deep lines ; either side from the nose down, pout- destroys the contour of the lips and ow-mindedness draws the lips into in, hard lines. ¢ Bthing to do. >» keep your mouth pretty it is nec- y to relax it frequently.

EARN to smile. Don’t smile crooked, and don’t smile wooden. and the smile will come natur- ally. When you smile don’t open your teeth —your jaws—too wide or you will show the inside of your mouth, which isn’t pretty. Hold your chin up and let your head £0 back a little, but keep your teeth close together. As for pretty teeth, they are abso- lutely essential to a fascinating mouth. Brushing them once a day is not suf- ficient to keep them presentable, much less in a healthy condition. They should be brushed thoroughly before going to bed. The nightly cleansing much more important than the morning one, for reasons that are not nice to ex- plain—one of which is that during the eight hours of sleep the mouth should be clean and rid of all foreign particles that might cause decay of the teeth. Brushing them night and morning with some good tooth paste or powder—best prescribed by your dentist and brushing lightly with clear water after each meal is not more than they deserve iff you would keep your teeth all your life. TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH. EETH are as readily affected by any physical disturbance as the hair and eyes, and you should visit the dentist every six months —just for luck. Just because it is a good thing to do because with the teeth “an ounce of prevention is worth much more than a detachable set.” With care, even of a mouth, is not perfectly shaped, it will be beautiful if the lips are smoothe and firm, the teeth clean and white and the expression sweet... A mouth with heavy lips should never be allowed to hang open, loosely. It gives the most unrefined and stupid expression to the face. Watch vour mouth in a mirror. Catch yourself, un- awares, and see what you permit it to do. A woman who is seeking beauty can- not have too many mirrors about jer. That, they sav, is the reason French women have such poise. They watch themselves from every angle and never allow themselves to fall into careless habits, It is not so much vanity as common sense. How can you tell what you look like if you can’t see yourself? So watch your mouth; don’t let it betray you; keep it always young and ready is

The Fossil . inte | i

« - BY CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT.

VERYBODY in Fairport knew Henry Colfax. Henry had grown up with Fairport. When he was born, Fairport was a Village; in the W years of his life it had ex panded—physically — into a good-sized city, though it etill retained most of the earmarks of the village. Everybody took a pro- found interest in the doings of every- body else; nobody hesitated to criticise the actions of anybody else; the two newspapers ‘‘joshed’’ the young men and the young girls with delightful im- partiality; and when they had no one else to cut at they took a fall out of Henry Colfax. Not that they—or -any- body—disliked Henry. Quite the con- trary. Everybody liked him in a pity- ing sort of way. He was so gentle, so kind—and so ineapable—that he had tage never inspired an active dislike n anyone. Meanwhile the papers poked fun at him, and most people took the limping wit as a matter of course. Bessie Norton resented it hotly, all the more hotly that Henry did not resent it himself. Ressie Norton was a year or two younger than Henry, and she had lived next door to him all her life. They had been in love with each other ever. since he wore knickers and she wore pina- fores—or whatever the things § are called. But Bessie had deleared years before that she would never marry a nonenity; and Henry had sadly admit- ted that he was, if anything, less than a nonenity. So they had lived on, door by door, year after year, each yearning for the other, but each incapable. “Oh, Henry!” she watled. “Why haven't you done something with your life? I don’t mean make money. 1 don’t mean become famous. I mean—l mean—Why don’t you do something?” Henry shook his head sadly. °“‘‘I’m afraid I'm no good, Bessie,’ he admit- ted, humbly. ‘“Something’s been left out of me and” “I know! I know! interrupted the girl, in swift contrition. “I know—but Surely you can do something to put a stop to these hateful slurs in the pa- pers. Listen to this! With shaking fingers she tried to smooth out the evening paper which a few moments before she had crushed in her hands. “Here it is!’’ she quavered. ‘Listen: ‘Our ancient friend, Henry Colfax, found a new fossil yesterday. Look in a mir- vor, Henry, and you'll find an older one" Henry smiled anxiously. “Oh! that’s nothing,” he declared. ‘‘It’s only Jack Roberts’ little joke. I don’t mind,” “But you ought to mind,” insisted the rirl, passionately. ‘“You—you — Oh! What's the use?’ “I’m sorry.”’ He very evidently was. ‘However, there won't be much more of it, I guess, Bessie. I’m going away!” “Going away!’ This was a new idea, and a dismaying one. Miss Norton could not take it in for an instant. Henry took advantage of her silence. “Yes!” he hurried on. ‘I never told you, but I—I spent all the money mother left me long ago. When I went to the Ealeontological Congress at Paris last year I had to mortgage the house to get the money, and now the mortgage is due and the lawyers have given me notice that they must have the money or foreclose and—and that’s all. The State museum will buy my collection and I must go East and try to get a place somewhere! I’m sorry, but—but I must.”’ Pefore she slept that night, she -had written a letter to Frank Radcliffe, an old school fellow, who was secretary to some scientific body or other in Washington. She ended: “ ¢ *® * So, my dear Frank, you lienry has come to the end of his scurces and is going Fast to look a place. Can you not help him fer times’ sake? He knows a great ‘about fossils, I believe. and if he ec: get a post to help in some museum, I see do any damage. You know I am not rich, but I can spare $16 a week to be added to his salary, if you can manage things so he wjll not find out’— Two days afterwards Frank | received and read the letter. read it again. Then he chuckled. “Knows a great deal about fossils, does he?” he laughed. ‘‘Won't do any dam- age! Henry Colfax! Good Lord!" lie sprang up and ran into the office of the president of his institution. After a while he went back to his desk and sent off a dozen cablegrams and some think he would Radcliffe Then he

attains i Ito Besste Norton, ran «us follower ‘Everything all right. Leave for Fafr- port Thursday. Tell Henry to sit tight till I arrive.’’ Five days later Radcliffe was in Fair- port. Instead of seeking out Henry or Bessie, however, he went to the office of the Fairport Blade, and laid certain tacts before Mr. Jack Roberta, editor of that paper—he whose idea of humor had stirred Miss Norton to such wrath. Roberts was an opinionated fellow, and his convictions died hard. Buf he. was a good newspaper man and knew when to switch. Incidentally he knew the exact value of a scoop. Hente, the Slade that afternoon screamed at its readers as follows: “Once more one of Fairport’s sons has won world-wide fame. Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. Henry Colfax, who has so long, so arduously, and so modestly labored in the cause af science, has at. last gained the fame which the Blade has so long prophesied for him— the honor and recognition of the world. “Mr. Frank Radcliffe, seeretary of the Carmody University, arrived in our beautiful city today, bringing with him cablegrams from the secretaries of the Royal Paleontological Society. of En- giand, the Societe Paleontogique of Trance, the Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg, the Royal Imperial Geolog- ical Society of Berlin,. and half a dozen lesser bodies, stating that these soci- eties had conferred on our distinguished savant, Mr. Henry Colfax, who honors ‘airport by his presence, no less than five degrees and three fellowships, each of which carries with it a substantial pecuniary reward. Mr. Radcliffe brought also resolutions from the Cin- quieme Congress Geologique Universale, now in session at Paris, hailing Mr. Colfax as the greatest living authority on the early Pliocene, and stating that more than any man living he had con- tributed to the world’s knowledge of the Tertiary. . “The news that these wel§j-earned honors have been bestowed will délight, but will not surprise, those who have watched Mr. Colfax's researches durin the past 20 years, and have witnes the steady growth of his reputation tn the scientific world. Fairport honors him as he honors Fairport. ‘Incidentally, Mr. Colfax’s many friends will rejoice to hear that Mr. Radelife aiso brings word that the Car- mody University has voted a grant of $10,000 a year to Mr. Colfax, so that he may be able to continue the studtes into the fossils that have sg distine guished. Fairport!’’ Radcliffe chuckled over this last sen- tence as, paper in hand, he trolleyed out to Bessie Norton's suburban cottage, “Truer than you meant, Roberts,” he murmured. ‘‘Truer than you meant.” The moon was on duty that night when Radcliffe departed, leaving Bessie and Henry, stunned with amazement, behind him. Fairport was a beautiful place, especially in its suburbs; and it outdid itself that night. Hundreds of fireflies twinkled among the bushes. Great white moths fluttered over the roses that shut in Bessie’s porch. The darting night birds whirred overhesd, through the rustling trees. A soft wind came up with the perfumed dusk, and bore the far-off music of the rippling river clearly to the ears. Suddenly Bessie turned to Henry with a sob. ‘“‘Why didn't you tell me?” she cried. ‘‘Why did you let me think that you were incapable—you whom the whole learned world was delighting to honor! I can understand why you did not tell Fairport! If Fairport was too blind to it was right to leave it tn blind- You—No, let me speak—you were to scorn it. But I, your friend! I who loved you and so longed that you should be great! I deserve to be pune ished! Ah, ves! I deserve to be scorned with the rest! tut—but it wasn’t lke you; it wasn't like your loving kind- ness ' “Hush! Hush! Oh! Hush!" No long- er to be restrained, Henry broke in upon the girl's words. “Good heavens!" he eried, “I don't scorn anyone—anyone; least of ail you! Hiow could I scorn vou when !] love you 80? You know it! ] have loved vou all my life! How could { scorn you?” Pleadingly he her and stretched his arms to- she slipped into them. The words came “ry _ half srmnothered in his coat collir— “but why didn’t you tell me you were famous?” ; Henry chuckled. “I myself,” he declared. “I didn’t even suspect it till Radcliffe told me 80, licnest Injiun!

the express companies. It has been declared that the express companies have no assets, their only texable property being some horses and wagons. They are doing a ‘‘messenger”’ service, the cost of which is small. Be- cause of the methods of business a lurge percentage of merchants is forced transport goods by express ratner tian by freight. The express companies have not only charged rates tha‘ are out of all proportion to the service per- to

formed, but have resorted to the sub- terfuge of sending their goods by roundabout routes, charging express rates and really performing a freight service. It is shown that the inventories of assets filed with the Interstate Com- merce Commission by the express com- panies represent to a large degree only secumulations from extortionate charges. The extent of overcapitaiization and excessive charges by the express com- panies is shown clearly in the case of the Great Northern Express Co. It was organized in 1892 with a capital of $100,- u00.. The total cost of the property, real estate, fixtures and equipments, amount- ed to $71,288.91. Upon this Investment it has paid in dividends during the last 16 years $3,200,000. Its last annual divi- dend was $500,0w, In addition to this it has a surplus of $1,485,$81.58. ALLELES

aa * ¥F v. v ep. age ROANOKE, Va., Jan. %5.—Enraged $1.00 water damaged because Miss Eva Chambers filed suit for slander against his wife, Joshua Baines, 45 years old, a farmer living mear Locketts, in Roanoke County, shot and killed Miss Chambers within &@ yards of the sclioolhouse. eAfter firing three times he left the teacher in the road and went to a neighbor's house and fired five shots at Charles Day, one taking effect In Day's right arm. He also went to Day’s home and threatened to kill Mrs. Day. He then went to Salem, where he gave himself up. But for this act he would have been lynched by the farmers of the neighborhood, who, armed with Win- chesters, went in search of him. Miss Chambers had been a _ teacher in the school for three sessions, and Mr. and Mrs. Raines circulated a _ petition to have her removed. The School Board retained Miss Chambers. Since that time Mr. and Mrs. Raines are alleged to have circulated injurious reports concerning the young woman’s charac- ter and suit was instituted for $5000. Miss Chambers was 27 vears old and a daughter of S. A. Chambers, a pros- perous farmer. FOUR GIRLS ESCAPE FROM EPWORTH HOME — Take Matron’s Purse, Scale Fence and Vanish Instead of Going to Prayer Meeting. Grace Coomer, 16 years old; Alma Thompson, 16; Viola Cummiskey, 1, and Edna Backschies, 15, escaped Wednesday night from the Epworth Emergency Home, a \Methodist insti- tution for wayward girls at 3410 Morgan street. They departed by the back door and climbed a fence into an alley just as Matron Bentley was about to take them and the 12 other girls of the home to prayer meeting at Union Church. The matron’s purse, contain- ing $4 or $5, was taken from her room. A search of dance halls and moving picture shows was made by two young men, one of them a relative of one of the missing girls, and after midnight inquiry was made at Union Station. It was then learned that four girls had accompanied two young men to a late train bound for West Baden, Ind., and that two had gone with the men, tlie other two receiving $20 each and prom- ising to follow later. Matron Bentley does not think they were the girls from the- home, and believes the latter will be found in St. Louis.
