Literary Notes.

A short while ago the Cosmopoli-
tan published an article by a well
known writer under the nom de plume
of Rafford Pyke on What Women
Like in Men," which created wide in
terest not only in America but also
in England. The Review of Reviews
Of London said that the article showed
rare sympathy, rarer penetration
and rarest knowledge of woman's ma
ture." In the Cosmopolitan for 0c-
tober the same author discusses with
brilliance and keenness What Men
Like in Women" There are few in
all the world who would not care to
possess the passports to mans or a
womsn's affection, and it is doubtful
if truer words were ever written
about a problem winch has occupied
the world from the earliest days of
which there is any record than those
of this pointed little essay.

elre at the RaIIrosd shops.

At 4:3o last Sunday morning the
car shops of the Canon City & Cripple
Greek railroad in this city were dis
covered in flames. The alarm was
promptly sent in and the department
from the third ward responded. The
distance and difficulty in getting to
the scene of the conhagration were
so great that little could be done.
The building. 40x60 feet. was destroy
ed, also several hundred dollars
worth of patterns.
The men who worked in that de-
partment are reported to have lost
tools to the value of between $500
and $500.
There is a mystery about the fire,
and by many it is believed to be the
work of an incendiary. This is the
second FIRE since the buildings were
erected. II Canon has fire bug in
