Valley Lumbcrman, in Its Issue
of Dec. I'd, Describes 1t as Fol-
lows:
Something was said in these col
umnS short time since of the perfec-
tiOn to which the cabinet makers have
brought their art in the building of
sleeping cars and the best class of pas
senger coaches. Much more might have
been said concerning the luxurious ap-
pointments which have been added
from time to time To these well built
cars. But The North-W Western Line''
which now runs Pullman and Wagner
cars on its limited train between
Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis and
over the best piece of rOadbed between
the Twin Cities and Chicago, has re-
Gently made some additions to its
always superb equipment which beat
everything else out of sight. In addi-
ton to the elegant sleepers of the con-
ventiOnal type, with which every man
who has made application for lower
berth in the middle of the car is familiar
if he has travelled at all, they now run
private compartment car. Each COM
pdftlHenG is Hlleu Wlln all necessary
toilet arrangements-is finished in a
different wood. and the walls are
decorated with tapestry The student
of good cabinet work and the lover of
beautiful woods can find in these COM
partment cars perpetual pleasure,
while the apartments are rich enough
to delight any man-and certainly
any woman. The other additional feat
ure of the "Nortn- Western Limited
is Buffet Smoking Car for the exclu-
sive use of the occupants of the Sleep
er. This is a club room on wheels
furnished with pluSh-covered easy
chairs, library, facilities for letter writ
ing, with all the latest popular illus
trated periodicals and daily papers, and
with we'll stocked buffet, and in this
car the traveller is made as comfortable
as in the smoking foom of the nose

One important feature omitted in the
above is that only regular fares are charged
on this North Western Limited" notwith-
standing the excellent service 1t is also the
only train west OF Chicago, on any line, car

of its kinG in America on which extra fare
is not charged for this nigh class of service.

other cases only fifty are taken. but
usually the rejected lover rushes madiy
away, for there are over half Of the fifty
who do so. Fifteen of them have to
clear Jumps out OF their throats, and one
poor man in his sorrow pounds stone
wall with his fists. Then there are
scattered numbers showing how many
refused the sisterly and friendly
affection that the girls so often
offered, and one absolutely re-
fused to be prayed for. OF the
women who refused these fifty men,
forty-eight of them rose to their feet to
do so. Two laugh in scornful derision
at the men. but four become sick and
faint over the sorrow that they are caus-
ing. Seven are sympathetic enough to
weep with the men. One offers to pray
for the proposer, and ever so many try
to console the unIucky fellows by hoD-
ing that other girls will fill the places
that they cannot.

MATRIMONIAL RUNNERS.
How They Conduct Business al

''Love will find way" says the song.
1t has been finding its way across the
Ohio river, between Kentucky and In

for long time back. But the outlook
now is that competition will prove, not
the life, but the death. Of trade in the
matrimonial market of Southern In
diana and Northern Kentucky.
In the small towns along the
Indiana border the frequency of elope-
ments from the neighboring state has
furnished new occupation to certain
Kentucky and Indiana gentlemen
namely, that of matrimonial runner"
These runners watch for runaway low
ers, accost them, and take them to GER
tain civil magistrates in whose pay they
are. and the officer of the law quickly
unites the pair in marriage, eXacting
therefor fee, part of which becomes
the perqnisite of the runner. In spite
of the fact that stringent laws exist for
the government of these magistrates,
they have done lucrative business, and
in the competition that has arisen
between them and their runners, the
latter have at times in their
wrangles over distracted Loeb

AT the same moment the cook. having

the pot and went away. The monkey
plucked the crow as he had just seen
the cook pluck the fowl, took the fowl
out of the pot, put the crow in. and re-

brought to London from India. On one
occasion he was seen playing with the
ink. perhaps writing letter, in his mas

thereupOn he went 10 the chest of
draws, opened drawer, took out shirt,
and wiped up the ink with it. On all
other day he was sitting in my grand
mothers drawing room Git was in Hill
street, when another lady came in and
sat down. The monkey, after watching
her for some time from the back of the
chair on which he was perched, Snatched
the visitors bonnet from her head, put 1t
on his own, and defied ali attempts to
catch him and rescue the bonnet. At
last, the window being open, he leaped
out upon the lamp post, and there sat,
sharing the delight of the passers-by.
when, years after, he appeared on the
field of Waterloo in an Old lady'5 bon

In these instances the love of mis-
chievous practical joking is manifest; it
it probable, il not so certain, in story
of an eminent naturalist Il forget lis

intelligence of monkey to whose edu-
cation he was devoting himself. One
day he saw with delight that the
monkey was sitting at the other end of
the room turning over the leaves Of
valuable book on entomology and look
ing at the plates with apparent interest.
But on going nearer he saw, with dis
may, that the monkey was turning over
the plates in order that, when he came
to particularly large beetle or butter

little faded bunch of violets are kept
among the dearest treasures of the

An Ungrounded Fear.
Before the Actors Fund fair great
deal was said about the probability of
the actresses who attended the booths
being subjected to insolent attentions
from men. This fear was after
wards found to be entirely ground
less. 1t was not the men who
pushed and struggled in the crowds
about the booths, staring and making
audible comments about the actresses
who were working for charity. 1t was
the women. These gentle creatures
t1ocked there in crowds and stared to
their hearts content. 1t was the first
time they had ever had such an OppOr-
tunlty, and they were bound to make
the best OF it. Of course, | do not as
sert that every woman went there out
of mere curiosity to stare and comment.
but from personal experience [ should
say the sensible ones were in a vast
minority.
Among the very few notes l have
heard of actresses receiving from ador-
ing youths is the following note received
by celebrated leading lady now playing
at one OF the leading New \ Ork theaterS.

1t is needless to say that the letter
was consigned to the lady's waste paper
basket. Scch letters are uncommon,
though. The young man of today knows
very well thatthe average actress in the
legitimate drama is far less approach
able than the belle of his set-that her
time is given to her art, to her home
and more than often to her children.
The only real nuisance is the stage door

was of dark wool, she cut ana fitted

it was a dull. reddish, rough stuff, and
with little quilting of velvet doubled

edge. Then black velvet coat, relic
of former gentility. was made to do
duty as little jacket, cut shorter than
the Elton model, slashed up the back to
the neck and edged all around with a
finish of jet. The top of her skirt she
