the heaviest months traffic for July in the
thirty years these records have been COM
piled. In July, 1900, there were handled al
this point Sap loaded cars, in 1899 e3.oSS.
in 1898 s6.6l6, in 1897 1874, in 1896 3,0S0. Co
ing further back the exhibit for July is
even less favorable. The feature OF last
months business was the evenness in the
loaded-car movement in opposite directions.
This remark will apply to n"orth-and-south
as well as 10 east-and-west roads. North
and-south lines did a large business in
handling fruits and vegetables northward,
and also Southern lumber. while southwark
shipments of provisions, cerealine products.
furniture, machinery, carriages and like
articles were heavy beyond precedent.
With the east-and-west lines shipments
of higher-class freight from Eastern cities
TO Western merchants set in earlier than
usual, and so prosperous is the country
that they exceeded any former year. This
is illustrated in the fact that one Of the
great through lines. as shown by official
nSures, handled west bound sly per cent.
OF its onnage, against 4Sia per cent east
bound, and this remark will apply with
equal force to other of the routes passing
through Indianapolis. In hard and soft
coal the roads in Central Traffic Associa-
ton territory have been handling a larger
tonnage than usual in July. In fruits and
vegetables II Is noticeable that such ar
ticles have been shipped longer distances
than in any former years. Transconti-
nental-line freights also have been heavier
than usual in July. shipments of grain TO
the Atlantic seaboard fell short OF those
IN July, 1900, especially the first half of
the month. but this was more than offset
by increased shipments of provisions. flour.
cerealine products, produce and fertilizers.
Shipments of the latter article formed
quite an important item. Local business
through the entire month was unexcep-
tlonally good, the majority OF the manu-
facturers working fun time and full-hand-
ed, and being behind in their orders. 1t is
stated that not in many years has business
IN July been carried at as good a rate.

THEN HE STOPPED.

Zoos | can't help her being-like-like
that. She's tried and tried to get me to
pick up things and bring them home"
the girl went on, land she's treated me
awful COS ! wouldn't. And now she's
come and takes things herself Tom, is
it wicked to wish you was dead?"
"Ain't that a little hard on me-" ask
ed Tom reproachfully.
The girls lips quivered, and the tears
came for the first time.
you're right Tom," she said softly.
81 was forgetting you jes then. | take
that back. don't really wish was
dead. If you'll jes' go on being good
and kind like you've always been, why,
maybe can grow up to be a good wo-
man some day"
Then suddenly she put her arms
around his neck and kissed him. When
Tom, with very red face and a song
In his heart, recovered from the shock,
the girl had fled to the cloakroom.
Then the boy marched up to the wo-
man, who was still wandering up and
down, and touched her on the arm.
Excuse me, ma'am," he said in a
voice loud enough for the clerks to
hear, "but | think l saw a couple Of
pairs of gloves fall in your umbrella off
the counter"
The woman gave him one venomous
glance, then she dove into the folds
and fished out the pilfered articles.
Dear me!' she exclaimed, with well
feigned surprise. 81 declare If haven't
come near to walkin' off with some
things as don't belong to me-"
So vanished Toms dream of a glo-
rious five dollar treat. But that kiss
had been no dream.

TOMMY'S LESSON.
How the Brush and the Towel Pun
ished a Had Boy,

The brush and the towel were talk
ing together, and they were all tired
out and flustered with the work of get
ting Tommy Fitzpatrick ready for din
ner. You see, Tommy is one of those
peculiar boys who seem to think that
it's big and nice and manly to give 9TH
err people trouble and to cry when they
can't have their own way, and he does
hate being washed and brushed and
made neat and tidy. SO the brush was
overheated and bruised and tumbled,
and the towel was so weak and slimsy
that it lay in a little heap.
Besides, they were very sorry for the
kind girl whom Tommy calls nurse.
I'D like to get even with that boy"
said the brush excitedly. I'm about
tired of being thrown across the room
and pounded against the sharp edge Of
the dresser. Say we get even, Mrs.
Towel? Will you help?"
"Yes, indeed, dear Mr.. Brush" said
the towel quite readily. "Well let him
see what it's like to be so treated. Per-
haps it will do him good and help the
kind nurse"
You see, the nurse is always good to
the brush and the towels. So they were
anxious to do something to help her.
That night when Tommy was fast
asleep in his cot they invaded the nice,
quiet dream chamber in which a kind
fairy had placed him to slumber, and
they picked him up and threw him
across the room and pounded him on
the sharp edge of the dresser, and
crumpled him all up, and twisted him
awfully, and pulled him nearly in two
pieces, and treated him Just as he
treated them in his waking moments.
Next morning Tommy didn't feel quite
so well as usual, but he was very good
and quiet when it came time for him
to be washed and brushed.
Il dreamed the brush and the towel
treated me awfully last night" he told
his nurse when he was nearly ready
for breakfast.
"Perhaps they did" was the quiet
answer You certainly deserve it from
them, Tommy"
And Tommy has been very good at
tldylng up times ever since. | think
he'd better be, don't you?
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1901-10-18

altogether like the idea of playing SOY
or profiting at another's expense; still
lie reasoned that any one wicked
enough to take what did not belong to
him deserved to be caught and pun
ished.
One afternoon Tom was carrying q
couple of stray parcels up to the "lost
and found" desk, and as he passed the
glove counter he glanced to the left
just in time to see shabbily dressed
woman sweep some gloves off the
counter and into the folds of her big
umbrella.
"Jiminez cricketsw muttered Tom.
"That five dollars Is as good as mine
alreadyw And he glanced about to see
If any one had taken note of the clever
theft. Apparently no one had, and the
woman still stood at the counter, and
presently Tom heard her ask the price
of some gloves in harsh, strident
voice. Tom turned about to see Mary
standing beside him.
Say, Mary" he whispered exctedly,
I'm goin' to have five dollars in about
three minutes, and then, l say, won't
we have bang up time! Would yer
rather go to the circus or go for an eX-
cursion in steamboat? Why, Mary,
aren't you listenin' to wot I'm saying"
he added, deeply hurt that the girl
seemed to take no notice or interest in
what he was telling her.
Then Tom saw that she was staring
with all her eyes at the woman with
the big umbrella. Her breath was COM
ing in quick, short gasps, and she was
trembling all over.
"Say," whispered Tom, that there
woman wot yer starin' at
Mary looked up quickly at the boy.
YES" she said in a queer, quiet lit
tie voice. Eyes; what has she been do
ing?"
"Doin'" muttered Tom. "Why, she
hasn't been doin' a thing but film up
her umbrella with gloves. Yer just see
what happens now when run over to
the floorwalker and put him on to herr
And Tom started off. Then he stopped,
for Mary had clutched one of his hands
with both of hers.
Don't, Tom" she said. at would
kill me if you did. She's my mother!"
The boy gasped and involuntarly
drew back a step.
You're not going back on me, now,
Tom are you" said the girl piteously.

THE MODEL REFRIGERATOR
What the Iceman Says About Ways
of the Good Housekeeper.

of the Good Housekeeper.
In the good housekeeper's refrigerator
you'll find the milk and cream and but
ter covered tight SO they won't take in
favors or odors. You won't find things
dumped around the Ice. You won't find
bits of mackerel, cabbage, onions or
such stuff that smell up q house. to
say nothing of a refrigerator. Such
things will be slowed away in a clean
cupboard down cellar with dsors of
wire netting.
You won't get moutEful Of sewer gas
either when you open the lid. In some
houses-finely arranged houses too
they have one of the latest improve
ments-letting the refrigerator drain
into the sewer pipe. 1t may be conven-
lent enough, but food favored with
sewer gas is not wholesome.
In q model house the refrigerator
stands in a small, light room by the
back door. 1t is near enough to the
kitchen to be handy. There is a green
curtain on the back door window, to
pull down when hot sun glares in on
the refrigerator. There is q heavy
screen door that locks, and in hot
weather there's q fine, cool air coming
In all night. The house is safe enough,
for an inside door locks, and it is kept
shut when the kitchen grows uncom-
fortably hot.
1t is mistake to set a refrigerator
down cellar. 1t is easier for the ice
man and harder for the woman who
does the work. The dampness swells
the wood till the door or lid won't shut
There are cellar odors, no matter how
clean it is kept.
In this model house a short bit of
hose is kept hitched to the faucet for
watering the lawn. The Ice is washed
off there, and the water has dripped
from it fairly well before it gets to the
back door. There's a clean, strong mat
at the foot of the steps.
An iceman gets scolded numerically
for bringing dirt into house. He can't
help it in places where he has to wait
five minutes for dipper of water to
wash off the ice or go and get it him
self, and he can't wipe his feet on a
piazza floor.
He has a hundred people waiting for
him on hot morning, and it makes
him tired to open lid and find he has
got to lift out half dozen muskmel-
ons, a pan of milk, chicken and a
custard, all sitting around a chunk OF
Ice no bigger than your fist.
AS soon as the ice is put in it is tuck
ed about with little blanket made of
old flannel.
This model refrigerator is kept spot
lessly clean. Once a week the shelves
and racks are washed in hot suds,
rinsed in strong hot soda water, then
In almost boiling water. They are
wiped dry and set out doors to air.
If anything has been spilled, it Is
scraped off, and then a fine pointed
skewer picks out the corners and
lodges. The waste pipe is cleaned with
a flexible wire that has a cloth wound
about the end Of it, and boiling hot
soda water is poured through.
Thus the iceman talks, as reported In
Good Housekeeping.
