NEW SHORT STORIES
..Mi.. Meredith,. pre.e.t.-

ssfiss Meredith's Present."
 The tragic death of the novelist Paul Leicester Ford has recalled to those who knew hiri many anecdotes of his ways and somewhat quaint sayings. Kate Douglas Wiggin. who was one of his most Intimate friends. both of them being associated in work in the college settlement and the day nurser- les, says:
 'I remember when Mir. Ford first moved over to New York. Before that he had lived at his fathers home in Brooklyn. where have frequently en- tered the great book lined library only to think the servant must have been Aistaken who had told me that the master of the house was at work there. He was so diminutiye that it did not take a very high desk to hide him con- pletely from view. Well, when he moved over there it was Janice Mere dith' that had made him the money sufficient to build the house on Sev- eDty-seventh street. and he always re- ferred to that home as Miss Mere dith's present tC me-"
 Another of the mans queer habits was that of having three or four desks in the room where he did his writing. Whenever he grew tired of his work. or when perhaps the inspiration ceased to move him. he would get up. light a cigar. move over to some other desk and go ahead with fresh interest and success

TUCSON FRANCHISE.

The action of the city council in
 Tucson, taken in regard to the grant ing of an electric franchise for that city should receive the approval of the people of that city as well as the admiration of all people who be- lieve that the public should be con- suited in all matters of public inn proyement or the granting of public franchises, which are valuable only as . means of securing a monopoly of business. We ere not unslterably opposed to the granting of franchises and urgent necessity may come up when quick action is desirable, but the rule should be to consider such matters slowly and with the greatest care It is proposed in Tue son to have joint committee of the city council and chamber of commerce to make an appraisemeut of the value of the franchise sought When this committee has made it's report 1t will

Magic In c Name.

The old saying that the good which men do is oft inferred with their bones does not hold good with the memory of the late Amos Cummings. as two mem bers of the congressional delegation which went over to his funeral can testify.
 These members, hailing a cab up- town in New York. were driven down to the Corslandt street ferry to take a train for Washington The cabman charged them 8. They protested. and the dispute was referred to a nearby policeman The officer decided in ia vor of the cabman. "Pay the S." he said to the tive statesmen. GOT I will take you to the station"
 The two representatives became an grier every minute. The policeman was firm. When you come to New York for a good time." he said finally. ''you must expect to pay for It."
 Good time?" echoed one of the con eressmen. We came over here to help bury our old friend. Amos Cum mings"

THE MAN WHO. GETS THERE

The boy or young man who is satis-
 fled to work just enough to earn his salary will not prove a success. says an exchange. but will go through life like a piece of driftwood. floating with the surplus of mediocrity. It is ab- solutely necessary that those who would succeed in any undertaking should work with will and be inter ested in their occupation. There are multitude of workers who perform their daily tasks in a merely mechan- ical manner. solicitous only that they shall do a certain amount of work of a character sufficiently excellent to save them from reproach and to se- cure their stipulated stipend. They are careless as to whether they shall do less than their quota, but are an1 ious that they shall not do any more. These are people so devoid of interest ir their work that the character of their occupation is entirely immaterial tO llthl SO II siCiuS tiChi stated weekly or monthly stipend.
 The men who have achieved the greatest success were young men whc took an interest in their work. The most famous journalists of today arc men who as reporters delighted in their work. prepared their stories with care. worked overtime hunting scoops for their papers and took pride in working to have the papers they represented take first place ir everything. They made themselves necessary on the staff of their papers And the same can be said of the be ginning of the machinist, the mer chant princes, the great manufactur- CTS and railroad magnates; they were young men who took an interest 1T their occupation and were eager to work over time in order to master it. The weekly salary was not their sole incentive: they worked for the flu ture
 Carnegie, the wealthy philanthro pist, who worked his way from poN erty to the possession of millions says that the man who works with :. will possesses a cheerfulness which is lacking in him to whom his occu pation is burden only endured be cause it has to be. A cheerful mar does not waste his mentality worry ing. but is able to devote it to the subject in hand. He can think 'while he works, and the result of his think ing will not only benefit his work but frequently leads to an invention that lightens his work and yields hir a fortune. The experienced critic says an authority, can always detect the difference between the handiworl of the energetic and. interested work CT and that of his. fellow who merel! works to draw his pay. To the ordi nary obs4rver there may appear tc be no difference It is not such whose opinion is important to the worker.
 The young man who loves his occr patton and is constantly working to make himself more perfect in it will go to the top of the ladder eventually; while the young man who works sim ply for the salary in sight will, beyond a question of doubt, find his plact among the driftwood that is never necessary to any business, but ca; occasionally be used in cases of emer gency as a makeshift.

AIDS TWO RAILWAYS
Union Pacific Opens Denver
Gateway to Rock Island
and Burlington.
HAVE NEW TRAFFIC RELATIONS
Community of Interests Between
Hartman and Moore Lines
Disclosed.

The Denver gateway of the Union
Pacific, which has been closed since
1896, has been thrown open to the
Rock Island road both for freight ana
passenger traffic, and to the Burling-
ton for freight traffic. This radical
change in the policy of the Union Pa
cific caused great surprise yesterday
when it became generally known, ana
led to much speculation as to the
cause An official of the Hartman
lines stated that. there was nothing
to be said regarding the matter. ex-
cept that the Denver gateway was
now wide open, and that it remained
for the Rock Island officials to say
how extensively it would be used for
Pacific coast business. The new
agreement regarding traffic was en-
tered into early in August. but has
been kept a fairly close secret until
yesterday. BY some the arrangement
is taken as showing a community of
interests between the Hartman AMI
Moore properties with a possible in
terchange in the purchase of securi-
ties.
Hint at New Alliance.
continue its relations with the Rio
Grande roads, which will always have
their strong attraction for travellers,
owing to the scenic advantage. 1t was
rumored yesterday that a moving fac
tor in the new relations was the prob
ability of an alliance between the
Rock Island and the Denver, North
western q Pacific road, now being
built by David Moffatt from Denver
to Salt Lake City, where a connec-
ton will be made with Senator
Clark's San Pedro line. The greatest
advantage to the Rock Island VIII
come in traffic destined for north Pa
cific coast points, which hithertD
have been turned over to the Union
Pacific at the river, the latter COM
pany refusing to accept it at Den
yer. Under the new arrangements
the Rock Island will enjoy the long
haul on all of this business, thereby
securing an added advantage of over
1000 miles. Owing to this fact re-
newed effort will be made by the
Rock Island management to stimulate
traffic to the northwest through the
Denver gateway.
VIII Improve Service.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the new traffic alliance. places
the Rock Island in Il position to give
the best service possible to Pacific
coast points from Seattle to San Die
go, as the company now has full use
of the III Paso and Denver gateways
In speaking of the matter yesterday
an official of the Hartman lines stat
ed the management had decided that
conditions had changed since the
closing of the Denver gateway, and
there was no good reason why the
roads east of the river should not
have the long haul on traffic origina-
ting in their territory. For one
thing, he explained, the cost of hand
ling traffic west of Denver by the
Union Pacific had greatly decreased,
and this and other new conditions
made it good policy to throw the
Denver gateway open. This action
on the part of the Union Pacific is
considered one of the most important
in consequence happening in the traf-
fic world in some time.

my Friend from Arkansas" which

of the successful character plays that
are taking the country by storm now

of life in Arkansas. showing the diff
ferent types of individuals that are

that is at all familiar with the people
of Arkansas will readily understand
that if the characters are properly
drawn they cannot help but be inter
esting when presented upon the
stage. Robert Sherman, the author
of My Friend from Arkansas" haf
fulfilled his mission in writing thu
play, for he has drawn characters
true to life, people that you meet ev-
cry day in Arkansas. He has woven
strong plot around these people and
introduced much natural and whole
some comedy. thereby making this
drama one of the strongest plays now

FIRST FOO BALL PRACTICE
FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS

The first practice for the aspirants
for football honors at the high school
was held last evening and the mana
gers had an opportunity to size up
the material that will be available for
this falls team. There is every indi-
cation that better team can be got
ten together than in a number of
seasons past. While last years
team weighed little if any over 40 il
is believed that the aggregation that
will battle for the name of the school
this fall will weigh in the neighbor-
hood of $50 pounds, Manager Clarl,
is working on the schedule of games,
but is not yet ready to announce
dates.
The alumni team met last evening
and had preliminary practice in the
new high school gymnasium, thus do
ing the first work that has been done
in that department. Dudley Marshall
has been chosen captain. The weight
of the alumni team will be little, IT
any, over 140 pounds, so that the
game with the high school Sept p
will no doubt be an interesting one.

Rock Island and Rockford shared
the honors of victory in the double
header played in the latter city yes
terday afternoon. In the first game,
which was lost to the Donnellyites,
the players were obliged to wear their
coats, finding it difficult to get warm
ed up. Rock Island made costly err
rors behind Case, while Rockford
gave giltedged support to Lehman.
With the exception of the fifth in
ming, when he was unnerved by the
misplays, Case pitched fine ball. At
terward he struck his old-time gait
and both he and his team mates la
bored desperately to pull out of the
hole into which they had gotten, but
the home club was too far in the lead
to be caught.
In the second game Rock Island
took the lead from the first inning.
when three runs were rolled up, and
maintained it through to- the end.
Smith was pitted against Killian, and
allowed the Nicolites to score in but
one inning. In this game Rock ISL
and outplayed their opponents at ev-
cry stage. Score of first game:
