The casualties of war in which kill

the fatalities of transportation on the
railways. According to the report of

there We're 725 deaths and 10,4S7 per
sons hurt as Il result of railway acci-
dents. OF this total ITO passengers
were killed and 2126 injured-the re-
mninder of the killed and wounded
were railway employees. 1t is mo-
mentous and magnificent service-the

KING DROUGHT.

I drop the whips on the loose.Aanked
steers,
burn their necks with the bow;
And the green hide rips and the iron sears
Where the staggering lean beasts go.
/ lure the swagman out of the road
To the gleam of a phantom lake;
I have lain him down, l have taken his
load,
And he sleeps till the dead men wake.
My hurrying hoofs in the night 60 by,
And the great focks bleat their fear,
And follow the curve of the creek burnt
dry,
And the plains scorched brown and sere.
The worn men start from their sleepless
rest
With faces haggard and drawn;
They cursed the red sun in the west,
And they curse him out of the dawn.
They have carried my outposts out and
out,
But-blade of my sword for a signal
l am the Master, the dread King Drought,
And the great West Land is mine!

me some bread and coffee. said the
man, glowering at the scared boy;
''but don't tell nobody you saw me.
If you do I'll lift every dang hide or
feather you ketch."
The boy only stared, but the man
smiled at his amazement and said:
''Tell you what I'll do. kid. If you
fetch me some bread and coffee every
at night And as the man gently
held out the rabbit Zeek agreed.
Thereafter he stole many handsful
of ground coffee from home, filled his
pockets with bread and was glad of his
compact when he saw his traps, reset
and baited at night, yield a double
harvest of fresh meat and peltries.
If the secret burdened his little con-
science the young trapper bore gamely
to his pact, for he knew that the time
was come to put in the corn. and that
1t would not be put in. Upon his frail
shoulders depended even the hope of
providing flour and bacon and medi-
cine for his mother. What must hap
pen when the rent came due, was an
OminOus problem which even the worn
mother dreaded to confront. If they
only had a few neighbors, some plan
might be contrived for planting crop,
but the nearest house was in the out
skirts of Horning, and for twenty miles
upstream there were no dwellers but
isolated trappers and lumbermen.
1t was late in March when Zeke,
mounted on the scraggy horse, with his
pile of pelts behind him, set out for
town. He drove a famous bargain
with the furrier, traded some hides for
quinine, provisions, powder and ball,
and pair of shoes for little Maria,
and was about to set out for home with
nearly $11 in his pocket. when in the
wagon yard where he had left his
horse, he saw Il placard.

GIRLS BEHIND THE COUNTER.
life Among the Young Women in
stores Of Many Departments-GiFIa
WHO Never Talk Are Enismaa.

In a department store there is q
whole world. When you are lost in the
maze Of bargains and fluffy speeula-
lions you begin to realize the size Of
an up-to-date store. But the shoppers
have only discovered one hemisphere.
The other side lies behind the counter.
There is a great gulf that separates the
two sides of store life--the difference
between girls who have nothing to do
but buy pretty things, charge" them,
and the girls who are silently answer
ing the shoppers queries, says the Den
YER Times.
Going behind the counter is very
much like going behind the scenes at
tn theater. The shop girls life is not
half as monotonous as II seems.
"Don't you get tired?" an occasional
shopper will inquire, and when the girl
says: mot very" the shopper men
tally remarks: Heroic"
But the girls themselves do not pose
as heroines or martyrs. They are liv
ing their lives, and it is not all work
behind the counter.
To begin with, the standpoint Of life
is advantageous. The shopper sees
only face that is pleasant or dis
agreeable. hears an occasional remark
or wins a smile from the girl that
waits upon her. But the girls see so
much! Some of the things they see
would really shock the shopper. They
form their ideas Of human nature
not always at its best-and at the end
of the day they have a supply Of in.
cidents and observations that form the
stock of converse tion. They manage
to talk. They have found the way
among the most impossible conditions.
Necessarily behind the counter con.
yersation is held in low tones and al
limited intervals
AT off-duty periods the girls have
time to become acquainted. or run
over to call at another counter. Calls
are not very frequently INDUCED in, ex.
cept when the girls are very near to.
gether and very friendly Then they
always have something so important
to say. Things always seem more I'M
portant when they can't be said, and
ms the girls are in that suppressed con.
dition most of the time they have to
talk very fast to make up for it when
they can. The self-control of work
ing day rubs off easily when one Of the
girls exclaims: "It's time to quit" or
"Well, I'm going to lunch" They don't
really go. Instead, they begin to talk.
There are a few girls who never talk.
They are the enigmss Of the world be-
hind the counter. They come to work
mysteriously and they go home as
quietly The other girls wonder, but
after a few friendly advances they
cease to inquire. The girls with o
''past" are generally sad-faced girls;
hey are the only ones who have a
'hadow on the heroic halo, and that is
worn in silence. Most of the girls like

NEWSPAPER in A PALACE.
a. south American sheet That Has n
model Horie--Its LuxuriOus
Omces.

Marie Robinson Wright the ac-
complished traveller, who knows her
South America better than most
Americans know their principal cit
les, contributes an interesting article
in the Era entiileds e''The Palace of
La Prensa." This palace is the fairy
land of newspaperdom. Mrs. Wright
says:
''The free medical and legal consult
ing rooms and free laboratory on
the main floor are furnished and fit
ted up on a scale of elegance, pala-
tial in every detail. Five physicians
are regularly employed by La Prensa
to look after the poor sick of the
city. The average consultations
amount to nearly 5000 per month. In
the free legal department the poor
people are at liberty 20 make known
their neeJls. In this department also
there are five lawyers employed year
~ by this generous newspaper. Their
offices are reached from a private en-.
trance.
"On the second floor are located the
editorial rooms, the archives of the
institution and the rooms for recrea.
tion and amusement as well as a
large reading room for the use Of
reporters.
"There is also a splendid library
containing a collection of useful and
valuable books-a billiard room,
sala for fencing, all furnished in a
magnificent style. The smoking room
upholstered in smoBe-colored velvet
and finished in hardwood, is a popu-
lar rendezvous when leisure permits
such indulgences.
"The editorial fooms have every
thing for the comfort and conven.
ience of the busy men who prepare
the news of the day. The Offices OF
the chief editors are most luxurious
and in connection with them each edi.
tor has private drawing-room, ex.
quisitely furnished with costly tap
estries, rich smyrna rugs, rare pic.
lures, curios and inlaid floors. The
entire third story is set aside as an
apartment for the entertainment OF
distinguished foreign visitors who
come to the capital These strangers
are not permitted to live in the no.
tells, but are invited as the guests OF
La Prensa. Here they are treated
with royal hospitality"

The past year has been one of un-
exampled prosperity in this country
and the next bids fair to rival il in
every respect. Never before have
prices been 20 good or employment
so steady except, perhaps, during
the war when everything attained a
fictitious value, which was leveled
in the panic of 1873. There is no
reason why there should be any
like collapse in the future and there
probably will not be. Let the lambs
keep away from the wolves with
their speculations, and invest their
money in legitimate enterprises, in
improving their farms and factories
and building up new ventures and
developing home markets and indus
dustries, and there will be less occa
sion to mourn the loss of hard earn
ed dollars which havo gone to en-
rich stock gamblers and promoters.
