Mary Alden had lived all her Is
years In the country, far removed
from railroads. and when her father
accepted position in the machine
shops Of the great railroad corporation
at G., and settled his family in a house
overlooking the switchyards, her life
was filed with terror.
On the first occasion Of her crossing
the yards. long train of cars was be-
ing disconnected and distributed. To
her horror, she heard II man at one end
shout to another, Never mind that
jumper! You can't wait Cut her in
two, and throw the shead end down
here"
Mary fainted.-YOuth's Companion.

The Peril of the suburban,te

Every year the bulk of city men go
farther afeld and each morning and
night perform their tedious pilgrimage
to and from the scene Of their busy la
bors- There can be no doubt that con-
slant railway travelling of this kind is
calculated, sooner or later, to play
havoc with the soundest constitution.
While IT is, of course, impossible to
lay down any exact rule, il may be
stated generally that no such daily rail
way journey should be much over an
hour In length. a space of time that is
FAR more than enough to carry the citi-
zen into pure air and the most sylvan
OF scenery. AS every medical man of
any experience can testify, the attempt
to burn a candle at both ends, one in
the city and the other 30 or 100 miles
away at the seaside, has cut off many
valuable life in the flower of its ma
turing manhood. Press

Choosing "A wife For Her Teeth

One of the most curious and interest
ing of bridal customs among the Eski-
mos Is the practice of choosing a bride,
not for her face, her figure or her for
tune. but for the excellence and strength
of her teeth
Up in the polar circle, where man s
blood freezes and parts of him drop off
at the touch of the icy blast, Ii is a
difficult matter TO keep the Unframed
skins from hardening and cracking.
There is only one process known TO the
Eskimo, that of chewing. 1t is neces-
sary TO perform this operation every
two or three months. and il is a part Of
the wives duties. Ii is for that reason
that an Eskimo selects his future help
mates for the size of their teeth and the
strength of their jaws. OF course one
wife cannot attend to all the skins, and
so sometimes an Eskimo has as many
as ten loving helpmates
Wives are bought. sold and ex-
changed among the Eskimos The price
huctuates like that of wheat or corn or
stocks on Wall street. A father with a
growing daughter will be approached
by neighbor and offered one. two OF
three dogs for her, according TO her
maxillary powers Sometimes blue
foxskin or dozen strips of blubber
may enter into the bargain. but dogs
are generally the factor used. San

WHERE LADYSMITH Cor It's NAME
There has been a great deal of lok-
ing about the odd name of the place
where Sir William Whites English
troops have been doing battle. As u
matter of fact, Ladysmith did get its
name from a woman. This was the
wife of Gen. Sir Harry Smith. whose
marriage, by the way, was one of the
romances of the Peninsular War. At
that time two young British officers
In Spanish town, which had just
been occupied by an English force,
were surprised by visit from two
very young and beautiful Spanish
girls of the better class. These fair
callers begged protection in the
alarming circumstances in which
they had been placed by the occupa-
ton of the rougher soldiery. Their
request was. of course. CALAMITY
granted, and in a short time one of
the officers, Captain Smith, found
himself desperately in love In due
time he married the woman whom he
had protected. The marriage proved
a happy one.

RELIGION DRAGGED
 INTO POLITICS
Supporters of the Citizens Ticket Pass Resolution
 on the Subject.

There are numerous rumors in the Wood lawn municipal campaign that religion is being dragged into the contest As near as can be learned, it is charged that the mem- bers of two of the principal churches of the city have combined on the citizens ticket to down the members of a third church. Whatever the nature of these re- lig .ous rumors, there was meeting of the executive committee, friends and support CTS of the citizens ticket last night, and the following resolution was adopted unan- imous4y:
 Whereas, It has come to the knowl- edge of the supporters of the citizens ticket of Woodlawn that certain reports are being circulated by the opponents of the ticket to the effect that the citi- zens ticket is making fight against a certain religious denomination, as well as it's public school system; and
 Whereas, Such reports absolutely
 without the slightest foundation and s, totally repugnant to the senses of ev-
 cry fair-minded Christian man, there fore,
 Be it resolved, That we condemn such statements and deplore the fact that il becomes our duty to have to refute such unjust reports in Christian com munity.
 Be it further resolved, That our Chris
 tian churches are working in perfect harmony for the salvation of souls, and shall not by us be drawn into politics.
 Be it further resolved. That we have a good school system, whose principal should have the hearty support of ev- cry citizen who has the intellectual and moral welfare of Woodlawn at heart.
 This was not the only business transacted last night in MT. Helms studio, as a great deal of the routine campaign work was disposed of. It was decided to appoint working committees in every ward of the city in order to carry a thorough and systematic work. The following are the committees
 M. Leavegood, Winston Sherrod and Pey- ton Graves.
 Second Ward-W. s. Shepherd, Archie Simms Charles Greer and s. l.. Strong
 Third Ward-E. H. Darby, T. T. Mock, H. Johnson and L. w. LaRosse.
 Fourth Ward-W c. Van Loose, II. E. Dolbey, Dave Williams, Joe Johnston, J. B. Sandifer and J. G. Grahl.

COMMENCEMENT DAYS OF
 SEMINARY AND ATHENFIJM
Second Days Exercises at The
 Atheneum.
SPLENDIDL LITERARY ADDRESS
Delivered by Rev. Dr. Diclzinson-Ad- vised the Young Not to Read Mar row Books-Annual Concert
 Took Place Last Night

Yesterday was the second day of the conl- mencement exercises of the East Lake Atheneum.
 In the morning the Rev. Dr. Dickinson of Pratt City delivered the literary address in the chapel of the Atheneum to a very attentive and appreciative audience.
 His subject was '"The Influence of Liter ature Upon Character"
 He gave to the word "literature' it's broadest meaning, and went to speak of the kind of books that should be read and studied and the kind that one should re- fuse to have anything to do with.
 I've should never read a book that will not make us think, nor one whose only value is to help us kill time," said the speaker.
 Reading should not be too narrow lest the reader become narrow minded or even a crank. He went on to show that char acter is formed in the study of books, by what Is gotten out of them, the informa- tion derived from them, and by what they get out of the reader; the study the effort, the energy that is expended in acquirin g the knowledge they contain. He closed by saying he hoped each of his hearers might have well-rounded, symmetrical Christian character
 Altogether, the address was a most ex- celent one, in every way entertaining, e0i- flying and instructive; 0 credit to the man and the occasion.
 The Annual Concert
 Last night the annual concert of the col lege was given in the Atheneum chapel be- fore a large audience. The different se,ec- tions, consisting of vocal, instrumental reading and recitation selections, were most creditably rendered. The programme was as follows:

stage, and was in every instance tastefully attred. The chorus in the first act con- sists of German peasants in a German village. All through this act too, Miss Scholar as the burgomaster'S wife and foster mother was present. fairly dominat- ipg it, and when her rich contra1to notes filled the house in the solo 1T Will Follow" she was recalled, and resang the song with rare sweetness and dramatic force. She left the stage rose-laden amid the plaudits of a delighted audience. In this act MT. Thatcher as Leander and MT Gregory as the burgomaster won golden o%nions The act ran off much too quickly.
 The second act was divided into two scenes, both on the fabled island. In the first scene Leander discovers his old play mate of the ill-fated ship, and the songs that Mr. Thatcher and Miss Fallon sang together charmed all who heard them. Miss Fallon sang the Lullaby song in an especially pleasing manner. This scene brought together Miss Schoolar Miss Fall lon, Mir. Thatcher and MT. Gregory in sev- eral delightful songs. Such a quartette is q pleasure indeed the four great tones be- ing finely blended in it. Miss Fallon's aria
