BORROWING TIME.-There ia
one rule that should be impressed
upon every young wife at the very
beginning Of her MARI ed life-that
10, to cultivate time for leisure.
Housewives are frequently heard to
complain that they have no time to
do this or that needful work. aud
that they will breathe more freely
when the children have grown out
OF the way, when the winters or
the summers work is done, and so
on. With such it would seem that
time 10 always borro with
view Of paying it back in the future.
1t would be idle to lay down q
certain set of rules by which wives
and mothers may rid themselves Of
this evil genius OF haste and unrest,
yet We would earnestly endeavor to
persuade the unhappy victims that
the fault is most always their own,
and springs from the very spirit in
which they 90 about their work
that, IN truth, hurry is an evil
spirit much to be dreaded.
Especially among women of
moderate means, the wives Of
struggling men, 10 the habit of al.
ways being in hurry observable.
Good housekeeping and hurry
should be utterly divorced one
from the other. 1t is a fact of
common experience that the most
successful housewives are the least
hurried. for haste is an open trans
gressor of the Law of order, and
order is certainly the foundation Of
good housekeeping. And here we
find the secret OF q reetful life, one
which has freedom without the
neyer-ending push from behind.
Besides the spirit of order, which
should lead every housekeeper to
arrange her work 30 it will not al
ways be behind her, and the
courage which enables her to refuse
to do what she cannot do satisfac-
torily, there 10 another element of
good housekeeping, which, indeed,
is but the true spirit Of order and
courage combined-the resolute re-
serve of leisure.
1t 10 absolutely necessary for
every mistress of a home and fami-
ly to have md jealously guard
some period of time each day which
shall be given to leisure-the leis.
OF perfect rest-for she will find
that in this age Of hurry the woman
Of moderate leisure is the woman
who will best discharge her duty to
herself, her family and society.

think it will do, don't you ? he
said.
1t was the hour that just precedes
the lighting Of the gas. when the
fire light throws shadows upon the
furniture and one sees pictares in
the glowing Goals. They were Sit
ting in her cozy room. their chairs
drawn to the hearth. They had
sat thus for several evenings now,
discussing the story, and at last il
was finished.
Yes, she answered, it has ended
like all other love stories.
WIN PISS
She did not speak.
And as it has ended 90 well on
paper don't you think-that-it-
might-end-well-really?
To this she made no reply. but
the freight showed the deepening
OF the color in her cheeks and a lie.
tie, nervous movement OF her
hands.
Rose, shall it end well. really!
She raised her eyes, and in them
ne read his answer, and thus it
ended, as all love stories should
with kiss.

KANSAS is VERY PROSPEROUS.
Topeka Bankers Optimistic Sum
mary of Conditions.

Topeka. Kas.. Aug. IT.-An official Of the
Bank Of Topeka thus summarizes the Kan
sas situation:
The business of the State will not be
seriously affected by the drought. The 20
per cent loss on the corn crop of 1901 will
price on the old corn on hand. which. with
the new crop. Will certainly make 100000
bushels at two and one-fourth times the
price. to which add 10 cents per bushel in
Then can be added 80 per cent of the 1c
per pound increase on fat cattle. the other
80 per cent of the 1c per pound will more
than cover loss on stock cattle, to which
increase in the price Of fat hogs. The other
~ per cent Of the increase will far more
than cover any loss incident to the replace
ment OF stock hogs.
The substantial prosperity of the State
OF Kansas will not be checked. The i'm
mense wheat crop with good prices ard the
widespread distribution of its proceeds will
reach more pockets than any other crop we
raise: The curtailment of credits may
equal about 20 per cent. chiefly in cattle
feeding paper. and from a widespread spirit

favor as our best agricultural industries.

II I h141S
Omaha, Neb., Aug. H.-September l the
freight and passenger departments of the
Union Pacific at Kansas City will be merged
into one. instead OF being operated sepa-
rately, as they have been since the road
was built. many years ago. As at Portland
and Salt Lake City, the freight department
absorbs the passenger department.
] b. Frawley is the general agent of the
passenger department; at Kansas City and
II. G. Kali is general agent Of the freight
department. 1t is to Mr.. Kali that Mr.
Frawley will report. and il is Mr.. Kali VINO
will be supreme at the City on the kaw
whenever interests affecting both depart
ments may conflict
Soon after President Burt assumed con-
troll OF the Union Pacific he began along this
line of retrenchment in expenses. He has
now merged all of the Offices in the large
cities. except those at Kansas City and San
Francisco. and on September l San Fran
cisco alone will remain to be merged. That
the freight and passenger offices of San
Francisco will sobn follow in the wake of
Kansas City and other points is believed.
The object of these consultations is to save
money and avoid conflict of mutual inter-
ests. which. il is said. was impossible under
the old arrangement.
In this connection IL is expected that still
greater changes are to take place on the
Union Pacific system. In brief. IL is thought
that in a short time the city ticket Offices
of the Union Pacific. Short Line. Navigation
Company and the Southern Pacific will be
merged. thus requiring only the services of
one set of agents in each city.

C.. VI. HAYS's RESIGNATION.
Not Likely to Give Up Voluntarily
Sc5.OOO m Year.

1t is still a question in railroad circles
whether g. NJ. Hays, president of the South
ern Pacific, has resigned. Mr.. Hays. who is
in San Francisco. has declined to make a
statement to satisfy public curiosity, and
sir. Charles H. Tweed. chairman Of the
Southern Pacific board in New York. says
he has mot been advised on the subject.
Notwithstanding this. those who claim ito
be in a position to know" declare that Mr..
Hays has resigned and that his successor
will be not only president of the Southern
Pacific but of the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short and Navigation lines.
The reason assigned for Mr.. Hays's de-
sire TO resign is that he was put in office by
the old Huntington crowd. and the Harri-
placing J. c. Stubs over him. in so far as
Mr.. Stubs is given full control of the traf-
fc department of the Southern Pacific. If
this be true and MIR. Hays does resign. il
Is argued that a Hartman man will be Sc
lected TO succeed him..
II has been persistently rumored OF late
that S. NJ FELTON, would resign the presi-
dency OF the Chicago and Alton to accept
a more important position under the Harri-
man interests. This also has been denied,
but the report will not down" and now
those who claim to know" say that Mr..
FELTON, has been selected to succeed Mr..
Hays.
Al the time Mr.. Hays was elected presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific it was an
nounced that his salary was to be $55. 600 per
year and that he had a five years con-
tract As there are not many $500 posi-
tons going a-beggtng in railroad circles at
present. ii is argued that MIR. Hays Is a man
of too mature judgment to let a little matter
OF pique or pride separate him from such a
cate ,deposs err oust him. then II would be
as in losing the position he could
ISOLATION.
In view Of these facts. 1t would appear
that Mr.: Hays has not. voluntarily at least,
sent in his resignation.

CHAIRMAN RIsTINE's ORDER.
Wants the Old kansas City Freight
Committee ReOrganixed.

Chairman Ristine of the Western freight
pool has ISSUED an order which Is thou9ht
TO have some meaning. Kansas CITY whic h
is the hotbed of rate decentralization. is in
cluded in the efforts to bring about a strict
maintenance of rates on both passenger
and freight business. The of
interests has not thus far been able to
bring that important point into line on rate
matters
The so-called Kansas City
passed out of existence last winter, and Mr..
Ristine. who Is supposed to be backed by
the presidents of the roads in the mat
ter. has told the traffic managers of the
different Kansas City lines that they must
get together. reorganize the and
hold frequent meetings and attend them.
There Is an earnestness in the instructions
which seems to carry weight.
Several freight men. il is stated, are in re-
ality opposed to ~reorganizing the
and will only do SO when receiving positive
instructions from their superior officers. II
is thought the head of the pool has suf-
Jicient power to enforce the order or he
would not have taken such positive steps
I'm the matter. All the cut-rate contracts
were TO be deposited with Chairman Ris-
tine by Saturday last, but last reports were
to the effect that some big contracts had
not been turned in. II is thought that
should Kansas City be brought into line
there will be no trouble in maintaining
rates on grain. provisions or any other calls
of freight.

WABASH SCORED A VICTORY.
Pittsburg Court Refused to Stop Work
Across MOnongahela River.

hkflBLlC SPECIAL
Pittsburg. Pa. Aug. I7.-By Judge Nc
CfunS's refusal to interfere with the work
OF tearing down an abandoned pier on the
Monongahela River by the Wabash Rail-
way Company. George j. Gould and the
corporation scored a victory in the
opening bout of the legal battle to keep the
Gould system from extending its lines into
PittsburS.
The City Attorney on Wednesday applied
Tor an injunction to restrain the Wabash
company from going ahead with the work
or building a bridge across the Mononga-
hela River on the ground that Councils have
NOT granted the necessary permission.
Judge McClung said the matter was too
important to decide in the limited time
given, aid. while the company can take
uoWn the pier. the question of an iniunc-
tion VIII be determined later.
ne lhtlfnated that he thought the United
states Government had sole control over
the pier, and. Notwithstanding any order
the Allegheny County Court might make.
the Federal Court could easily order the
removal OF the pier. ~
he said that If City Councils were given
tne authority to grant or deny the privilege
OF railroads being built into or through
large cities. the effect of the law of 1865
under which the city would act, would serf-
ously interfere with all similar projects. as
no Important railroad would be content to
build It's line solely to the border of large
cities. The work will continue Monday
