doubts and fears that the one on
whom the priceless treasure of its

to that love, unworthy of the trusting
heart which gave it birth. This will

a good-looking young lady stood
in the door of the editorial rooms and
looked carefully around the apart

tinued, the one who writes those
lovely articles in the Sunday papers

would be to 90 right to newspaper

cause ever since papa died wchavcn't
had any man to put us right about

do, that in case like this a man
would be ever so, much more apt to
decide right on what was the best to
do, because women, you know, al

make mistakes in matters that per-

time. Some of the bitter tonics may
be at the same time used with advan-
tage, SO long as they do not constip-
ate, because, while reducing fat, our
object is to brace and tone muscle and
nerve. Plenty of exercise should at
the same time be taken in the open
air, but this should not be carried to
the verge of fatigue. Over-indul-
gence in bed should be avoided, and
the use of the tepid or cold salt-sea
bath will be found to do much good;
SO, too, will an occasional Turkish
bath; but on this point ones own med
zeal adviser should first be consulted.

perseverance in this plan of treatment

THE RAILROAD CONDUCTOR
 By HI. HI. Johnson.

Straight of form, of knightly bearing,
 Duck of speech and stern of mein Darkly dyed and dropping moustache
 On his upper lip is seen. Smiles he has for handsome ladies, .>
 Browns for females old aad gray; Speaks politely to the former,
 To the latter, naught to say. What search there is for tickets
 When the car he passes through How the brassy buttons glitter
 On his coat and cap of blue How some bashful madden blushes
 When he asks her for her fare, While she tries to look so calmly
 Just as if she didn't care. Then some dismal, chronic grumbler
 Growls because the train Is late Wishes every cursed railroad Could be doomed to have it's fate Then some tidgety old woman Quickly grasps him by the arm, Asks if, at the speed they're running, Don't he think they'll come to harm Quick his arm he disengages,
 Passes prlskly to the next, l While the scowl upon his features Plainly shows that he IS vexed. | Then tlmld, nervous person Seated on the news-boy's trunk Asks, in trembling tones sepulchral, If the engineer Is drunk! Do you think his lot is easy? Do you wonder that scowl Sometimes overshades his features,
 And he answers with growl !? Do you know, those very questions
 Which you ask so thoughtlessly He has daily, hourly answered :?
 Can he do it pleasantly Treat him like human being.
 Think, if you were in his place, Could you answer all the nonsense
 With pleasant, smiling face? He is nothing more than human.
 He is nothing less than man. For your comfort and your safety,
 He will do the best he can.
