A correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch tells of young woman who
went to the matinee prepared for the
affecting parts of the play. She carried
lightly sewed to the center of a second
handkerchief tiny powder puff, which
she proceeded to dust with powder
from q little enameled box into which
it fitted. With the puff concealed in
the handkerchief she calmly watched
the scene progress to the agony point,
ignoring the tears that, sure enough,
began presently TO stream down her
cheeks. When the curtain fell, how
ever, she took instant advantage of the
momentary reaction of the audience,
and wiping her face with one handker-
chief, with the second she cleverly
busted her too red nose and cheeks
with the toningdown powder, and tri-
umphantly beamed upon the women
about her who were not so cleverly
torearmed.

THE MIDDLE CAR is SAFEST.
How a Commercial Traveller Secures 8
Minimum of Risk.


A commercial traveller tells the Wash
ington Star that he is very particular
as to the car he selects. II travel thou
sands of miles a year" he says, land
have made it rule to observe in the
accounts of railroad accidents which
cars of the trains are most often de-
molished. The result of my experience
for have been in dozen smash-ups
and observation is that the middle
cars are the safest. l never under any
circumstances ride in the rear car.
avoid the car next to the baggage car,
though this is selected by many as the
safest The greatest danger at present
in railroad travelling is telescoping.
When a man has been In a wreck and
afterward seen the engine of the col
liding train half way inside of the rear
car, or rather what's left of it, it inn
presses him most forcibly. The baggage
car is usually heavily loaded, and in
the collision its weight, together with
the ponderous engine, generally
smashes the next ear to splinters,
while the central cars are comparative
ly uninjured When the train is de-
rallied the baggage car and next coach,
as rule, go over. The roadbeds of our
great transcontinental lines are so
solid, each section is so carefully ex-
amined, the rolling stock is SO much
improved that broken rail, broken
wheel or axle and like mishaps are re-
duced to minimum"

Pony Rowell shrugged his shoulders.

Nevertheless it does. I have ad

Then, when you have taken all his

you SO that he can't move, give him
back his cash if he promises not to

Rowell looked across at the subject
of their conversation. II don't think

stock the cards on him I'll clean him
out if you like. But 1t won't do any

Mellish smiled somewhat grimly.

TRACING ONES ANCESTRY.
Genealogy Appears t" BE a One sided and
Partial Thing.

taTliAi Mn
A conversation among a group of PEG
pie the other day. all of whom were OF
good New England families. brought ont
some curious admissions. Only one OF
the party could trace his descent, III the
line of mothers. farther than to his grand
mother. though several could trace 1t
very much farther in the paternal line.
and even in what they called the ma
ternal lire which meant of course til"
mothers fathers family. All present
could tel the maiden name of their moth
er's mother, but only one could tell the
maiden name Of her mother. OF course
many in New England among those gen.
, ealogically careful people who can tell
you the names Of all their 10 great great
eranGfathers and grandmothers can do
this, but these are comparatively few.
And those who cannot carry back the
line of mothers more than three genera
tons include the representatives of some
of the most aristocratic families Ill New
England. whose line of paternal descent
Is unbroken to the settlement and beyond.
Let us think for a moment what this
question involves. Suppose you write
uOWu yOuI wv hdiAC. AACh :
on one line just above it the names OF
your father and morher-the fathers
name first on the left. the mothers Sec
ond on the right. You perceive that
these two people had an equal interest
myour being. There is at least chance
that you are like your mother in impor-
Aant physical and mental respects.
Now, set down on a line above these
two names the anne of your grand
hthers and grandmothers, beginning
with your fathers father and ending
with your mothers mother. These two
couples again had as much interest in
your father and your mother az your
father and mother had in You, and there
ID in you as much of your mothers
mother as there is of your fathers ia
ther. Now above this line write down
the names OF your eight grandparents
which you should surely be able to do it
You are a Yankee. Each one of these
eight had an equal interest il you. Now
you perceive that you have a pyramid
standing on its apex. You are the apex.
The left hand edge of it is your line OF
fathers, ana on the right hand of it is
your line of mothers.
In all likelihood you derive rather
more of your characteristics from the
right hand edge OF the pyramid than You
do from the left and while i'll all prob
ability, if you are from a good New Eng.
land family, You a go on stretching
ont the left hand edge of the inverted
pyramid you cannot go on with TIN
right hand edge any farther. and THU
means that your genealogyi is a n sided
and partial thing.-Boston Transcript.

one-sided correspondence between the
Butte Miner and Governor Richards ap-
pears to have come to a dead quit. 1t is
rumored that the governor didn't keep
up his end Of it as faithfully as Quinn
thought he ought to, and for this reason
it petered out. Also that the governor
objected to a correspondence that had
been extensively read before he was the
recipient of it. Anyhow Quinn has
stopped writing to him. and it is prob
able that the relations of the two are
somewhat strained.
