WOMAN SECTION BOSS.
Her Overalls Are Bloomers, and She I,
an Expert In Her Work.

Her Overalls Are Bloomers, and She Is
an Expert In Her Work.
Mrs. Mary Shannon Of Blackford
county, Ind, wears the bloomer cos
tune. Her bloomers are overalls, which
she wears as she attends to her duties
as boss of a section on the Lake Erie
and Western railroad.
A year ago Mrs Shannon lived at
Montpelier, Ind, and her husband had
charge of a railroad section between
Hartford City and Muncie, Ind The
husband was killed III IA railroad acct
dent, and the widow was thrown upon
her own resources She was familiar
with railroad repair work, having been
the daughter of one section boss and the
wife of another, and i'll some way she
succeeded in convincing the company
that was responsible for the death of
her husband that she was capable of
taking charge of section The compa-
ny appointed her to succeed her hus-
band.
Every working day Mrs. Shannon
can be seen on her section directing the
gang of which she is boss. Clad in
bloomer overalls, with the bottoms
laced around the tops of cowhide boots,
her head sheltered beneath broad
brimmed straw hat, the roadmaster OF
the Lake Erie and Western says there
is not better section boss on his line.

The Mind and Action.

1 once asked class of 10 girls to think
intently what it would feel like to lift tho
right hand and touch the left shoulder.
After few minutes had elapsed nine OF
them confessed having felt desire to do
1t. then dropped the subject and spoke
of something else In a few moments six
actually did it. Most persons when con-
centrating attention upon the thought OF
what given movement would feel like
find themselves becoming possessed OF n
desire to do 1t, and this desire marks tho
tendency of the thought to produce tho
movement. But as we not only feel but
also see our movements, we find that the
thought of what movement looks like
has also motor value and tends to produce
&c. This is also true of touches and ideas
OF touch-indeed all or nearly all mental
states produce some motor changes In the
body, but the motor effects of sensations
and ideas of sound, taste and smell are rel
atively slight. w. X. Newbold

Bugs, bugs, bugs!
They assaulted and took possession of

least down between the collar and the

bugs in bugdom were suddenly let out
and allowed to swoop down upon the
unsuspecting citizens Of the town
There were millions of the little pests,
and they made life mi.kerable for every
body and everything in which they
came in contact
The bugs were of the small, green
variety which resemble a miniature
grasshopper in many ways. They walk,

They got into the plug holes in the key

At the relay depot the bugs swarmed
around the night operator, and he was

Line Will BE Twenty-seven Miles In Length
and Elevated Throughout.
A company with capitalized stock
Of over 81 900, 900 has recently been or
ganized in New York to build tram
railway over the Chilkat pass, Alaska.
The new railroad is to be known as the
Chilkat Railroad and Transportation
Railroad company and will run for q
miles through the most dangerous part
of the pass.
The company was promoted by Mr..
S. S. Bush Of Louisville, who has been
in the Klondike for the past several
months, and who saw that such rail
road would be paying investment. He
Travelled through the pass on foot and
by water and laid out the plan by
which the road is to be built After fig
uring the cost Of such q road he came
TO New York and began the organiza-
ton of the stock company. MIR. II. G..
Walls was elected president, A con-
tract for the building Of the road was
recently let to the Trenton Iron compa-
ny in Mr. Wallis name.
The Klondike road VIII be used prin-
cipally fer the transportation Of bag
gage and freight Cars will be put into
service large enough to hold two per-
sons, but at the start the company will
not depend on the passenger traffic for
| much revenue.
The new road is to be q link TO the
road that is to be built from Dyea TO
Lake Lindeman and is to be elevated
the entire distance. Elevating the road
has been found necessary, as 1T covers
stretch over which it would be i'm
possible to build a surface railway, on
account of the snow and ice and the
roughness of the path over which it Is
| to travel.
According to the specifications, the
tramway will be what is known as the
Acme system and will be operated by
steam power located at either end of the
wire cable, along which the cars travel.

PART OF NOTED PLAY FOUND

Discovery Of Nearly One Hundred Verses
of Menander. the Greek Author.
A considerable part of lost play by
Meander has Just been published at
Geneva under the title of lie Labou-
reur de Menandre. " Hitherto, with the
exception of quotations enshrined in the
works of other authors. the only anthem
ticated specimen of Menander's work
was fragment of 20 verses that was
discovered by Tischendorf.
Now Jules Nicole has brought papyri
from Cairo which prove to be part OF
one of Menander's most celebrated
plays. These papyri contain nearly 100
verses containing the essence OF the
plot, enabling q reconstruction of the
dramatis PERSONA, and also the best
part of the comedy. The authorship is
established by the occurrence OF three
passages that are quoted by ancient
writers as being from the play in ques-
ton. New York Sun.

THREE YEAR COURSE.
President Eliot of Harvard Advocates a
Shorter Term of study In Colleges.

President Eliot of Harvard Advocates a
Shorter Term of study In Colleges.
President Eliot of Harvard college
came out as an advocate of the three
year college term recently at the twelfth
annual meeting of the New England
Association of Colleges and Preparatory
Schools. Professor John II. Wright of
Harvard first presented a paper in favor
of the three year course. Professor
Thomas ID. Seymour of Yale presented
an argument in favor of the retention OF
the four year term. President Eliot said,
in unfolding the argument of Professor
Wright:
II am an ardent advocate of the short
term, and do not believe that a reduc-
ton would affect the thoroughness OF
the study or make men less able to take
up their life work. Our opponents have
said that we should not do this because
the secondary schools were on too feeble
basis for college training. Any one
who has been observant of educational
affairs must have seen that i'll the last
seven or eight years the secondary
training of youth has been greatly in
creased in value. In fact, that is the
most remarkable thing in teaching
have ever noted in all my professional
career. Professional teaching has ceased
to be merely bread and butter, low
motive affair and is higher in every
sense.
"Tho professional departments OF
Harvard are by far the best in the uni
versity for power of their men. The
college can no longer be considered the
sole representative of liberal education.
believe the hope Of America depends
upon this reduction. New York Sun.

A Very singular Answer.

Sarah Bernhardt, desiring on her APP
preaching tour to play in Strassburg, adj
dressed the German government for per-
mission to appear in Alsace-Lorraine.
She received the following singular re-
ply: "Mme. Sarah Bernhardt having
several times declared that she would
never play in Germany, we do not de-
sire to cause her to break her word. But
as Strassburg is in somewhat peculiar
case we willingly give her the permits
sion she asks on condition that she plays
previously in some other German thea
ter that she may be pleased't to desig-
nate" Mime. Bernhardt answered that
she declined to accept the condition and
would consequently give up her purpose
to play at Strassburg before her compa'

there in so fathoms of water. Lines
were put out and a few fish caught,
but the sharks were so thick as to
make fishing too much of a task. The

"STAR" ASHORE.
Bellman and McNicolI Come to
Grief.

Desky's launch Star and the Myrtle
barge Aloha are now a mass of splin-
ters on the beach about three miles
from the entrance to Pearl Harbor 1t
seems that on Saturday morning at
about 1920 o'clock C. Bellman and
Burt McNicoll, with the permission of
the owner, took the launch for the pur-
pose of taking the Myrtle barge to
Pearl Harbor for a number of the boat
club boys A stiff breeze was blowing
and the launch could not keep up
steam. As they were nearing the har-
Dor the launch kept drifting inshore
and all efforts to keep her off proved
futile. The two men, seeing the use
lessness of the launch becoming more
and more apparent, jumped into the
barge and started to row, with the
launch in tow. This was likewise of no
avail, and the boats kept drifting
farther and farther in.
Finally rain came on and it began
10 blow. The boats got into the break
ers and smashed into each other. The
men jumped out and were fortunately
in far enough to be able to walk ashore
without much trouble.
There was nothing to be done and the
boats were abandoned, while Bellman
and McNicoll walked to town, arriving
late in the night.
