It is easy to sheer at peoples eccen-
tricities. We may smile at the man who
persists in wearing queer style OF hat,
or at the woman who clings to an old
fashion in hair dressing. But in adher-
ing to custom both agreeable and COM
Portable, do they not show some indie
pendence of mind, a decision that helps
to leaven the lump of general fiabbiness'
Once lady whose eyes were weak was
obliged always to carry sunshade to
protect them from the glare of the sun.
Even in winter, and when she wore furs,
the sunshade was a necessity. She de-
clared laughingly that no one would be-
lieve, unless she tried it, how much at
teption such a simple matter evoked.
Sometimes she was followed block or
two by boys commenting on her odd ap-
pearance. They wondered if she was
crazy. And while they wondered, seemed
to think she was also deaf. Older people.
whom one would think might know bet
ter, gazed at her curiously, and even
questioned her as to the reason of her
peculiar conduct.
Most persons under such persecution
would have given up the fight, staid in
the house or decided to bear the pain and
run the danger. Being woman Of reso-
lutte temper she did nothing of the kind.
She carried her muff and her parasol all
winter. Indeed, after while she seemed
to take wicked pleasure in Haunting
these articles before the faces of be-
wildered passers, who would often turn
and look back with an expectation of
seeing strange developments from so
great a phenomenon.
Probably not many women would
have stuck to the singularity as she did,
or have gotten SO much amusement out
of it. Yet if it is considered in another
light, and we reflect how much interest
she excited and how many gazers she
supplied with subject for conversation,
we might call her public benefactor.-

We have travelled few miles in our life
time, and know what it is to be uncom-
fortably housed in n poorly upholstered
car and rudely tossed up and down on old
iron rails that are laid on dirt road bed.
We have been there; but it was always on
other roads than the Santa Fe. Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is hard
TO beat. The rails are of heavy steel, the
track smooth and .ock- ballasted: and the
through ''CannonbaIl'' train that flies at
a fifty-miles- per-hour speed over this Gle
giant roadway is as pretty a bit of work
manshlp as Messrs. Pullman ever turned
out. Each vestibule sleeper is a model Of
luxury, and as easy as a cradle. Chain
cars, library cars, and day coaches are a.
carefully adapted to the travellers eve
want. The Santa Fe is rightly nam
