An Improved Outlook.

George S. Brecount, commercial agent Of
the Monon at Cincinnati, who is a. good
judge of the situation which prevails with
the railways, Tuesday, in speaking OF
the business outlook, said that while there
are no individual shipments of large di-
mansions being offered, yet trade in gen.
eral is assuming a healthy tone. Many
parties who previously shipped in large lots
are now joined with the shippers of smaller
lots and the latter in all departments are
realizing an Improvement in orders from
their usual trade, as well as from new de-
mands springing up from unexpected quar-
tiers, and which, 1t seems to me, indicates
that trade is advancing on no uncertain
lines and is the foundatio for a boom
which, in my opinion, will begin with I'M
wonted vigor on the announcement of Nc
Kinley'S election. -

Line-other Railway News.

The St Louis lines are not anxious to
revive the Western Freight Association:
especially does the Wabash object, which
means that it will be difficult to induce it's
management to again become party to any
such organization. Vice President and Cen
eraI Manager Ramsey sent word to Chair
man Midgley, of the Western Freight As
ISOLATION, to the effect that the Wabash is
going to work for the Wabash in the fu-
tare. and do openly what other roads have
been doing secretly for a long time to the
injury of competitive interests. This is
looked upon by railroad officials as signify
ing that the Wabash will have nothing to
do with the proposed new Joint Traffic AS
ISOLATION, which the presidents of the
Western lines are trying to form in Chi
cago. The Wabash like some other lines,
has been so often fooled in IFS belief in
Western freight traffic agreements, that its
lack of confidence is excusable to a certain
extent. The new idea, however. of franz
ing the agreement on the lines Of the Joint
Traffic Association is a good one. 1t is
exceedingly doubtful whether any resusci-
tation of the Western Freight Association
is possible. The present troubles might be
patched up in some way, but it would be
a short-lived truce at best St. Louis lines,
says a general freight agent, can form
cOmDlnatlOn among themselves SlEOuS
enough for all practical purposes and the
trend of opinion is that some move
ment of that character ought to be begun.
St Louis has played second fiddle in these
matters long enough and seems disposed TO
tackle the first violin and play a few bars
fortissimo just to see how 1T wonld sound.

IN THE HEAT OF YOUTH.
A Novelist's RccoIlections OF Days whcl
Women Wero All Queens.

A Novelist's Recollections of Days When
Women wcro All Queens.
Why is it, I wonder, that we como
into the world SO i'll equipped for it's ex-
ploration? 1t seems to me, as I look back
upon my youth, that. in q certain way,
my senses were fresher and keener then
.han they are now. And yet they were
continually-partioularly in tho matter
of girls-playing the most unwarrant-
able FRANKS on me. Some alien fluid, of
an intense and fiery kind, got mixed
with them and made them subject to all
sorts of unaccountable alterations.
1t is q notorious fact that an electric
current will make the most excellent
compass behave ~ an irresponsible fash
ion. And yet, though tho disturbing
fluid which made my compass worthless
was nearly always there, it has guided
me somehow with tolerable safety q
long distance across the trackless main.
And I am not by any means sure that ]
would exchange it for a truer instru.
ment. subject to fewer alterations. For
l take this very s-ensitiveness to electric
influences to DO q proof of it's exceeding
fineness and excellence. Life would be
q horrible dreary affair if these magnetic
currents which make tho needle tremble
and swerve were banished or ~nonexist-
ent. Tho dull, dead, stupid sanity
which has no sympathy with folly and
no CLEAN of potential madness is no
doubt q stanch and reliable rudder, but
l cannot forbear questioning whether to
the soul thus equipped the voyage is
worth making.
Ulysses of old, middle aged though
no was, had to stuff his ears with wax
lest he steer his ship into tho jaws of
perdition, when the sirens sang so deli.
ciously, and he did not exactly cover
himself with glory during his visits tc
Gree and Calypso. But what very red
blood he had, and how humanely his
heart beat in every one of his manifold
adventures! He never, like his ship
mates, became q swain, and how noble
and manly was his bearing in the pres.
ence of the lovely Nausicaa!
There is something almost touching
to me in seeing the Same sentimen,
which stirs my own bosom recorded
thousands of years ago. And, truth tc
tell, the man whose pulse is subject tc
no irregularities and whose Judgment
registers no alterations in tho presence
OF n beautiful woman is, in my opinion,
fit for treasons. stratagems and spoils. .

Rich Girls Oppressed With Wealth Should

My cousin Anthony has been in t.

But, l said, seeing Anthony GROWING

men to pair off with them if all the rich
bachelors were available, but as long as
u large percentage of the rich bachelors

One day as I lounged into Central

to approach. / saw at once that he was
q stranger in Gotham, and as / looked
upon him I cnuld scent the new mown

dinner horn blowing at the kitchen door
at high noon
"My dear young friend, he began as
I sat down beside him. st trust that
you are walking in the straight and nar-
row path of virtuo and integrity while
surrounded by the temptations Of q great
city,"
I replied that his trust was we'll
fccndcd, and he continued:
81 have BEEN in New York for a week
and it has made ~ heart ache to be-
hold the sin and wickedness on every
hand. I hope you are proof against tho
seductive influences of wine and cards
and the theater?"

drank anything stronger than root beer,
and not having a deadhead pass 1 never
showed up at the theater. As for cards,

"That is good!" he said as no laid
bis hand on my shoulder. "May 1 fur
ther trust that you do not attend horse
races, dog fights and boxing m~atches?"
l solemnly assured him that he could
trust, and he took my hand in his and
feelingly exclaimed:
II thank heaven that I have found
n good and pure hearted man in this
terribly wicked city Had I not met you
/ should have gone home believing there
was 10 exception. I am an old man, as
you see, and I am simple in my ways.
The other day encountered a fellow be-
ing in distress and bought this gold
watch CT him to help him out. 1t is a
bauble l do not wish to carry about or
take home. They tell me it is worth
more than what 1 gave, but I would lc,

held it ont to me.

"Why, I'm i'll tho same line myself

at 500 a dozen. I worked two off last

"Sir," said the man as he rose up
and confronted me and restored the fake
