New York Sun: An enterprising wo-
man. who has established q very large
business down town in supplying type
writer operators to business houses, said
yesterday that there was q good deal Of
truth and fair share Of tragedy In the
often repeated assertion that business
man down town are apt to flirt with their
typewriters II they can find an Opportunity

heaTthe most complaint, )" she said. 1.-THE
girls pay me a lee for giving them instrue-
ton and securing . position, and they
always come in here frequently after they
have begun their work. Consequently,
hear . great number Of stories about
men who certainly ought TO know better
Yet the lively and wide-aWake business
men, no matter how much Of reputation
they may have in the uptown clubs a
FOUNDERS and 90 on, never interfere with
the typewriters in the slightest degree
Apparently all their evanscence Of spirIl
Is expended above Twenty-third street,
They arrive at their Offices late, work like
steam engines, and rush up town again,
The old deacons and church members,
however, spend great portion Of the day
down town away from their families, and,
u there is pretty typewriter within gun.
shot Of them, their behevolence Is directed
toward her at once. There Is nothing, a
a rule, strictly offensive about their atten.
tons, but they are inclined to be more
Daternal and kindly than the occasion
warrants. They are always taking IN
interest in the poor girl who is obliged &c
earn her living, and, as Il Is the interest
Of the poor girl to keep her place, she has
to submit to q good deal Of nonsense from
men who are old enough to know better. 4"

RAILROAD.

There has been . great amount Of rail.
road talk, proposals and schemes for
North Yakima during the past twelve
months. Some Of these are In fair way
to mateFialize; others will not. Just at
the present time additional railroad COM
munication and facilities are the great
need Of our city and county. We need
local roads as feeders to the transconti-
mental line running through the center Of
Yakima.
II our land owners will grant the neces-
saTy rights Of way, terminal and depot
privileges, THE HERALD believes, and Il
has eogsnt reasons for the belief, that
such local roads can be constructed and
ct once. Men Of influence and means, in
view Of future prospects and business,
are prepared to take hold Of such prop
osition. How many Of our land owners
in city and county are there who will
grant such rights to n corporation that
will undertake TO construct and equip
local roads3
This idea is no chimera; Il 10 q sound
business proposition, and u owners Of
real estate will unlock there are men
ready 10 20 ahead with the work. II Is
better 10 have good times, lively market
and high prices for . portion Of our hold

. coin Of magic value-in fact q protec-
ton from all ills, q magnet Of fortune,
and, above all, q signet Of endless love
for the one who wears 1t. And when It Is
considered what . strange journey this
little gold piece has taken any man but .
scofier at sentiment would be ready to
admit that its qualities must indeed be
rare ones.
In the FIRST place, TO have Mascot coin
one must have q sweetheart. The loVelier
this sweetheart the more potent are the
charms Of this coin. Sweetheart makes
present Of the coin TO her lover, but
before Il passes irrevocably into his pos

the thrilling half-lights Of the back draw
ing-room the coin Is passed from the hand
Of the girl to that Of the man. Then the
latter carefully, gently and with the pro-
foundest respect for the ceremony, drops
It down the neck Of the girl, taking es-
pecial care that 1t descends under even
the last delicate film Of clothing. The

Felix sHaseT Gets Ms Deserts.

Ellensburgh ReOiSieT: Superior Judge
C. B. Graves this morning sentenced
Felix Shaser to two years hard labor In
the penitentiaIy at walla Walla. shaser
is well known In the county as q swag-
gering, clustering bully, whose sole am
bition seemed to Be to Gil up with corn
juice and then browbeat and bulldoze
anyone who might be 80 unfortunate a.
to cross bis majesty's path. The crime
for which Shaser was sentenced was for
the stabbing Of William Lee last winter
at dance in Wenatchie. Shaser walked
up to Lee and deliberately spat In his face.
following up this Aippant insult by vic.
iously stabbing Lee with q knife. The
general sentiment seems 10 be that shaseI
received his Just deserts, and that JudgC
Graves In giving him the full extent o.
time never gave q sentence more in &C
cordance with justice.

man can do. Not long ago, when his mother

gentleman whom he had never seen be-

can't see any one" The stranger was al
ready half way up the stairs. I'm the
doctor, he remarked. without turning his
head
A few days afterward Johnny and several
OF his small friends were playing out OF
doors, when Johnny said. Let's go and see
Lucy Fielding"
!, "Lucy has the measles. She can't have
any visitors. They wouldn't let us in"
was the answering chorus.
There was moments silence; then
Johnny went 10 the door OF the Fielding
house disregarding the remoustrances of
the small procession which followed him.
Evidently plan Of action bud occurred TO
him. He rang the bell.
Miss Lucy is i'll. You can't began
Bella, the servant who opened the door.
But small dgure darted by her and be-
gan TO climb the stairs, remarking i'm
pressively "I'm the doctor"
Whether or not Bella doubted this state
ment, she was too much overcome TO inter
fere with Johnny,s triumphal progress,
and had only just enough presence of mind
to shut the door on "the Doctors" friends
who seemed disposed to follow him.
