Costly Consolation for Foster sistsrs
Long Separated.
A very affecting incident occurred in
this city few days ago, relates the
Portland. Oregonian, which incident
ally proved expensive to the man who
brought 1t about. A number of years
ago two little girls in this city were
left orphans, and though in no way re-
lated, were cared for by the
same person. A strong affec-
ton grew up between the
two girls. which was warmed from the
fact that neither had any parents or
brothers or sisters to lavish their af-
fections upon. and their love grew and
strengthened as they came to woman
hood. Finally some turn of the wheel
OF fortune separated them. One re-
NAMED in Portland. and In due time
was happily married. The other went
away up country" and finally was
also happily married. An intimate
correspondence was kept up between
the two for few years. but was final
ly dropped owing to changes of loca-
ton, and years passed without either
seeing or hearing Of the other. A
short time ago the one living In Port
land heard that the other, with her
husband. had taken up her residence
in a town only 100 miles or SO from
this city. A great desire to see the old
and dear friend came over her, and
she could not eat or sleep on account
Of 1t. Circumstances rendered it i'm
practicable that she should go on a
journey at the time, and her husband
suggested she should have a talk with
her friend over the long-distance tele.
phone.
He rang up the distant city and call
ed for his wife's friend. and after q
reasonable time was notified that she
was at the phone. He then called his
wife to talk to her, and the following
conversation took place:
SIS that you, Sadie?"
Yes, it that you, Susie?"
"Yes."
Then they both began crying for
Joy and kept 1t up for half an hour or
more, without being able to say a
word. The unfortunate man who had
arranged the interview, seeing that his
bill was mounting into the hundreds
and bid fair to continue to mount in
definitely, called 1t off for the time
and the two friends continued to cry
without expense. A meeting between
the two friends has been arranged for.
as neither of their husbands is willing
to take the chances OF financial ruin
by allowing them to tackle the long
distance telephone again.

Eating too much is disease Of civil
lization. The uncivilized seldom get
too much to eat, and their Hastings
are preceded or followed by so many
days of famine that gourmandizing
leaves no evil trace. says Good House
keeping. Where food is abundant.
oxygen scarce, muscles soft through
inactivity. and the regular occupation
a task upon the brain and nerves. the
feeling that one has eaten too much or
not eaten enough. Is a frequent and
troublesome intruder. At times there
Is a combined sense Of becoming at
once ill-nourished and overfed. This
means simply that one has eaten too
much of the improper foods and not
enough Of the right ones. A famous
rule for the cure Of dyspepsia Is SIM
pie and succinct: Take on your
plate all you mean to eat. and eat
but twice day"

THE GLASSES OF FREIGHT.

No one has ever attempted to emu.
merate the various kinds Of persons
carried in passenger cars on trans
continental railway-such as how
many men. women and children; how
many Whites. Negroes, Indians and
Chinese; how many natives and for
eigners; or how many Democrats and
Republicans.
In the matter of freight. though. the
various items carried are frequently
tabulated. throwing side lights Of
the products. industries and wants OF
widely separated communities. The
Santa Fe. for example, during the last
fiscal year carried 3.4s0.o00 tons of
agricultural products. 1.115.ooo tons OF
animal products. 3.435 900 tons Of min
eral products. $4,000 tons of lumber.
1,225. 900 tons Of manufactured arti-
cles, 100000 tons Of merchandise and
425,000 tons of miscellaneous stuff
The most important items are In order
named: Bituminous coal. wheat, live
stock. lumber. stone and sand. mer-
chandise, corn. ores, fruits and vegeta-
bles. cement and brick. -four and cot
ton.
What is dug out Of the ground
equals what is raised on top Of 1t. An
imal products are nearly as important
as manufactured articles. The least
important item is tobacco. The ship
ments of household goods exceed those
Of liquors. Agricultural implements
are on par with wagons and car
riages.
When you ship anything on the
Santa Fe it finally gets into this an
nual roundup.

chiffons and tissues are fashionable
for evening gowns. Irish crochet lace
is liked extremely for dinner or recep-
ton costumes. A beautiful dinner
gown is Of black net over white tat
feta. The skirt is laid in tucks and
bordered by an accordion-pIeated
fiounce Of the net. finished with three
rows of quilting. At the head OF the
fiounce is an applique of white
lace. The low-cut bodice has ell
bow sleeves of the tucked net, slashed
open on the outside of the arm and
fastened across with strips Of velvet
ribbon and tiny rhinestone buckles. A
little Of the white lace mingles with
choux of the net and ruffies Of velvet

silver Wedding Gifts.

The jewelry stores are showing many
novelties in the way Of wedding gifts.
and by far the most fashionable are
those of silver. The most unique are
of antique silver with a partly gilt
finish in old Dutch designs. A very

at a recent fashionable wedding at
Philadelphia. The extreme oddness in

service was much commented on. 1t

PORTO RICO TRADE INCREASES.

Commerce between the United
States and Porto Rico is increasing
with phenomenal rapidity, especially
since the removal of all tariff restric-
tions in July Of last year. Our pur-
chases from Porto Rico are nearly
three times as great as the average
during the closing five years of Span
ish rule in the island, while the
shipments from the United States to
Porto Rico are five times as great as
the average during the five years
preceding the termination of Spanish
rule. The receipts of merchandise
from Port Rico at the ports of the
United States now range between five
and six millions annually, and the
shipments to Porto Rico, which were
about seven million dollars in the last
fiscal year, seem likely to be ten
millions in the present fiscal year
ending June 30.

This is encouraging in the extreme,
coming as it does from representative
of the "soft" press of Nebraska, the
members of which were only informed
some six or seven years ago that the
material interests and solid citizenship
of the country would not suffer the
money system to be corrupted, and that
a platform and a candidate which
threatened reputation and commercial
rebellion could not stand. Having
been allowed but six short years in
which to ponder over the situation, it is
encouraging to learn that some of them
have grasped the idea already; which
fact justifies the hope that another de-

gained from periodical lambasting at
the polls, will suffice to convince COM

wont to hum.

catch the correct pitch, and join in the

sufficiently loud to drown the quavering
discords which are internationally
