Better Railroad Facilities.

If We could only induce our railroad
authorities Ia pay some little attention
To- the needs and absolute requirements
OF our city, in the way of better rail
road Ia llltes, our town would occupy
different position. Our visitors are
always delighted with the beautiful
surroundings of our Mountain City,
and charmed with the cordiality of
our people. There are but few towns
III The country where homes are cheap
er or more desirable; few places where
living Is more reasonable; but when
the railroad journey to and from Fred.
erick is considered, il keeps many away
who have once encountered the nu-
merous delays the slow trains and the
poor depot accommodation at the
Frederick and Washington functions.
Why can we not unite in urging
faster mail service from Frederick to
Baltimore and Washington. Two and
three hours from this city to either of
the above places is certainly a hard
ship to the travelling public. Tneae
Is no doubt our city suffers greatly by
the condition of affairs we have men
toned. Only few weeks ago n

the idea after two trips here to look

WHEREIN THEY DIFFER
How a Magazine Writer Compares Ma


How Magazine Writer Compares Nan
and His Sisters
Man is a creature of cast-iron habits:
woman adapts herself to circumstances
This is the foundation of the moral diff.
ference between them.
man does not attempt to drive
nail unless he has hammer; woman
does not hesitate to utilize ANYTHING,
from the heel of boot to the back of
brush.
man considers a corkscrew abso.
lutely necessary to open a bottle; a
woman attempts to extract the cork
with the scissors; if she does not sue.
coed readily she pushes the cork into
the bottle, since the essential thing is to
get at the fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which a
man puts razor; woman employs it
for chiropodist's purposes.
When a man writes, everything must
be in apple-pie order; pen, paper and
ink must be just SO. and profound 81.
lence must reign when he performs this
important function. A woman gets any
sort of paper. tears it, perhaps. froma
book or portfolio, sharpens a pencil
with scissors, puts the paper on an old
atlas, crosses her feet. balances herself
on her chair and confides her thoughts
to paper, changing from pencil to pen
and vice versa from time to time, nor
does she care if the children romp or the,
cook comes to speak to her.
A man storms if the blotting paper isl
not conveniently near; woman dries
the ink by blowing on it, waving thel
paper in the air or holding it near a
lamp or fire.
A man drops letter unhestatingly
In the box; a woman rereads the adj
dress, assures herself that the envelope
is sealed, the stamp secure, and then
throws itviolently into the box.
For man ''good-by" signifies the end
OF conversation and the moment of his
departure; for woman it is just the
beginning of new chapter, for it Is
just when they are taking leave of each
other that women think of the most i'm
portant topics of conversation.
A woman ransacks her brain trying
to mend broken object; man putsit
aside and forgets that for which there
is no remedy.
Which is superior? - Lippincotts

THE European press is a unit in
denouncing the defamatory effort of
Congressman Barrett to cast slurs upon
the public record of Ambassador Bay-
ard. Nothing that any person could
say of Protection, the policy of the Re-
publican party, would be an exaggera-
ton, and every Democrat in the Uni.
ted States in public or private life,
has at d9e time or another expressed
his opinion of the law of McKinleyism.
Why not impeach the press or the
multitude of voters who helped to
bury the measure? Either is as con-
sistent as the other. Mr.. Barrett is
seeking notoriety and seems to have
achieved fair share of it. The repre-
sentative side of Congress promises
some amusing incidents during the
session, which is about all it is capable
of doing.
