st. Louis, Oct. Cot was learned to-
day that a strike of engineers and con-
ductors on the NJ, K & T. railroad
over the question of reinstating three
discharged conductors has been averted,
the company agreeing to take back two
of the men.
After secret conference between the
employees committee and railroad Off
Gals, ending last night, the latter at
first refused to accede to the demand
that the conductors be restored to work
The trainmen then threatened to call an
immediate strike of the conductors and
engineers. Another conference was
held, the company finally agreeing to
let all but Conductors Knock return to
their old places. This satisfied the
grievance committee

everything to live their lives so fully.
The army of young women has found
out hat lovemaking and marriage is
not the only aim. Marriage is becoming
to women what it has always been tc
men-merely an incident.
"Our mothers took as a guiding prin-
ciple selfishness, and who of Us, with
our shallow, hurrying s%eltishncss, dares
to say we are better? Still, tho mcderr
woman sees that this old time selfish
ness had an immoral side, for the self
effacing ways turned many a well
meaning man into a selfish brute and
raised selfish children for this genera
ton. But tho present woman's sense of
her right to her own life is a constant
menace to the family. The girl Of today
is experimenting the old word duty
with the words to myself"

POWt1ATAN PIPES.
Made From = Peculiar Kind of Virgin
Clay and Made Sweet by Fire.

Clay and Made Sweet by Fire.
The old coasting captain VIE gain,
upon Il crudely shaped red clay pips
which he smoked at the end of a long,
many jointed reed stem, while he filed
the ears of tile observant Jerseynlan
with its praises.
"f you want the sweetest pipe il
the world" he said. "you must get one
of these. They are the original Pow
hatan pipes, made in Powhatan county.
Va, out Of u peculiar blue clay which
is found there i'll little nodules and fin
ished in u peculiar way.
1.-The genuine Powhatan pipe can
never be found north of Baltimore, and
it is easier to get n in Norfolk than
in Baltimore. If you sbegin smoking
one, you will discard your meerschaunls
and brier woods and smoke nothing
else. When it gets strong, you merely
put it into the fire and burn it sweet
again. The imitation Powhatan pipes
would crack to pieces if you try to burn
them sweet. but the genuine can he
thrust in safety right into the bright
Goals, although, of course, it is better
10 let them heat more gradually"
Under the stimulus of this praise the
observant J~erseyman sent to u friend in
Norfolk for half a dozen Of the pipes.
After a time he received them, with n
bill for rs cents for the pipes and s. fol-
the trouble of finding them.
"If you had not tod me thai the pipes
sold two for a quarter" his friend
wrote, Il should never nave got the
right kind for you. l went to almost
every tobacconist in Norfolk hunting
for them. Each one showed mo a pipe
which looked about the same as these.
but was only 10 cents. Finally, ono
day, after l had about given up the
search, l happened to mention it to a
IOngshoreman. There is only one shop
in Norfolk he said, where you can get
the genuine Powhatan pipe. That is a
little place down along the river front.
He gave me the address, and there l
found them"
The observant Jerseyman has smoked
the Powhatan pipe many times since
then, and'he still believes the old cap
tain's praise WAS warranted. On the
caution label which came about each
pipe it is said that the peculiar quail
ties Of the genuine pipes are due to the
fact that they are finished by hand pol
ishing instead of a glazing, thus leav-
ing to the clay all of its natural porosi-
ty and absorbent qualities. New York

An impressive instance of a play that
influenced a human life comes from one
of tho northern towns. where n very
striking play was being performed in
which the disastrous consequences fol-
lowing on the love of two men for the
same woman were realistically present.
ed. A young engineer who had %conceiv-
ed q violent affection for a girl who had
resented his attentions in view of the
fact that she loved another man, who
CHANGED to be the engineers bosom
friend, witnessed this play one even
ing, and it made a very deep impression
on him, MS it seemed almost to have
been written to apply to his own I'M
happy situation. Act by act the tragic
story was unfolded, jealousy of the dis
appointed lover ending in crime and
punishment, and when at length the
curtain fell the engineer had come to a
decision. Ee went home. packed up a
few nccessaries and n week later set
out for Australia. where. by q lucky
stroke u year later, he made n mighty
fortune. He attributed all his success
to the play in question, for had he never
seen it he would never have gone away
from England, and perhaps on,e awful
occurrence might have arisen from his
u%nrequited passion. -Lordon Standard
