STEP IN ANY WHERE.
There Is Always Room for the BOY
or Girl Who IL willing to Take
Part in Life's Work.

During one of the great battles of
the civil war, a recruit who had lost his
company in the tumult of strife, APP
preached Gen. Sheridan and timidly
asked where he would step in"
"'Step in?' Numbered Sheridan, in a
voice that frightened the already ter
rified recruit almost as much as the
roar of cannonading and musketry
Step in anywhere; there's fighting all
along the line"
An accident occurred recently that
very forcibly brought Sheridan's
words to mind. A heavy piece of ma
chinery was being moved into build
ing by means of a block and tackle.
Suddenly one of the ropes parted and
the machine began to slide backward.
The two men who had charge of the
work sprang to stay its progress, but
it was more than they were capable
of doing.
"Give us lift!" one of them shouted,
to a bystander.
"Where shall take hold?" asked the
man thus addressed, unmindful of the
fact that both men were exerting every
muscle to control the machine and that
there was not a second to lose.
Grab hold anywhere!" yelled the
mover.
But another had already seen the
necessity for instant action, and rem
dered the necessary assistance.
1t may be that we are in field where
we are unaccustomed to work, and are
timidly asking where we shall "step
in" We may find our answer in the
words of Sheridan: "Step in any
where; there's fighting all along the
line. ne."-Wellspring.

THE NORTHWESTERN AND UNION
PACIFIC NEW SCHEDULES
To DENVER
Only One Night En- Route to Colorado
from Cleveland, Cincinnati. De-
troit, indianapolis and
Chicago.

A notable change mas been made in the
Colorado service of the Chicago North
Western and Union Pacific Railways.
The famous Colorado Special now leaves
Chicago at $50 p. m, arriving at Omaha
655 a. m, Denver 500 p. m. and Colorado
Springs 1920 p. m. This enables passen-
gers from Atlantic Coast points to reach
Denver with only two nights on the road,
while from Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
indianapolis and Chicago only one night
is required en- route. The entire train will
be run solid between Chicago and Denver,
with through sleeper to Colorado Springs.
East bound the train will be known as
the Chicago Special" and will leave Col
orado Springs daily about 1000 a m, Den.
yer 100 p. m, arriving in Chicago at 400
p. m, at a convenient hour for making
connections for the east.
A train from Des Moines in connection
with this new train, east bound, enables
passengers to leave Des Moines at 700 a
m. and arrive in Chicago at 400 p. m.
Accommodations are provided for all
classes of passengers, the equipment includ
ing free reclining chair cars, dining cars
buffet smoking cars, drawing-room sleep
ers and day coaches. The entire service
Is as nearly perfect as modern and skillfu
railway management can make it.
A second daily train for Colorado point
leaves Chicago for Denver at ll.30 p. IN.

ARCHERY FOR GIRLS.
As n Sport Ii Is Interesting and
Lively and as Recreation 1t
Has Few Equals.

AS you girls are looking for outdoor
recreations, why not try archery?
Whoever of you becomes the proud
owner of a bow and arrows will find
them great addition to your sum-
mer's enjoyment. A good bow is rath er
expensive, but that expense is neces-
sary, as it is impossible to shoot accu-
rately with any other kind.
Archery looks so easy that often the
beginner is surprised to find how much
strength is required to draw up the ar
row to its head. The bows used by
men require as much strength as would
be needed to lift weight of from 40
to so pounds. A suitable bow for a
girl would be much smaller, of course,
the range being from 90 to 35 pounds.
The length of the arrows used depends
somewhat on the length of your arm,
but generally speaking a bow 51s feet
long will call for 25-inch arrow.
1t is important to have good instruc-
tion when you are learning to shoot.

most universal vogue. In England the
temperance movement is almost If not
quite as strong as it is in America.
During the last few years the bar
maid has been the cause of numerous
skirmishes between the so-called
liquor element and British blue-rib-
boners, yet she always has come out
of each individual attack with little
more popularity added to her occu-
patton, and as far removed from sup
preston as when the agitation began.
British innkeepers look upon the
lassie behind the bar as a stock in
trade more productive, in fact, than
the liquors they sell, for it is admit
ted that without her much of the pa
tronage of public houses would melt
away. The barmaid is, in fact, a
great drawing card for the public
house. If she happens to be pretty,
possessed of an attractive face and be-
witching manners, she is a greater
drawing card than if nature had been
less liberal with her, but at any event,
she is more valuable from the inn
keepers point of view than bar boys
or men, and that is why each attempt
of temperance workers to oust her has
met with such vigorous and concerted
opposition.
Now, however, it is believed by both
factions that the grand climax of the
years of effort on the barmaid ques.
tion is near at hand. The agitation
recently begun in Glasgow is regard
ed as the opening skirmish of a
mighty struggle that has been prepar'
ing for the last two years between the
temperance folk and the liquor sell
ers of the United Kingdom. If the
movement succeeds in Scotland it is
considered altogether probable that
it may cross the Tweed and enveloI
England.
VIn selecting Glasgow as the place in
which to launch the crusade against
the barmaid, those composing the
''anti' faction did not act without dis
playing wisdom and keen foresight
The Scots are strongly religious peo
pie, and it is for this reason that the
blue-ribboners expect to create suf
ficient amount of well directed senti
ment to place their cause on substan
tial and effective basis. There are il
Glasgow more than 1000 barmaids, an,
it is believed when sufficient pressur,
is brought to bear on the innkeeper
of the city the desired concessions caI
be obtained. However, the crusader
are prepared to fight if education ant
persuasive methods avail them moth
ing, and the issue may be carried t,
the highest court.
Great Britain is the only part of TIL
British empire where the barmaid i

in Ireland, and none in australia, New
Zealand, Canada or the Cape. In Eng

while in London alone the numbe

Crown Princess Sophia is no excep-

done it very well. And now she longs
to appear more extensively in public
literature. She has undertaken the
writing of book. Just when it will
be done no one knows, not even the

A HINT FROM PARIS.
Washing Blue Is Said to Remove the
UnweIcome Yellow Tint from
Locks Turning Gray.

Gray hair is an ordeal to the average
woman under the most favorable cir
cumstances and she probably finds in it
little that is to be palliated. On the
other hand most women would prob
ably not mind it so much if they were
certain that all their hair would be-
come white Immediately and not re-
main for several years in the yellowish,
mixed stage that comes to all women
who have not black hair. 1t is the
problem of getting their hair white all
at once that troubles most women.
Some of the Paris hairdressers are
said to be able to make the hair quite
white when once it begins to turn. The
process is expensive under any circum-
stances.
A remedy has been found which has
been successful in the case of most Of
the women who have tried it. 1t is not
expensive, for the process consists in
giving the hair bath of ashing blue.
The blue must not be too strong but
must be literally mixed with water. If
one bath does not have the effect Of
taking all the yellow out Of the hair,
the operation should be repeated.
In a day or two after the bath Of
blue has been given the yellow will be-
gin to fade from the hair and in a
short time it will be quite white.--N. Y.

STIRRED TO ACTION
Railroad Commission Considers a
Scheme of Gross Earnings Re-
ports to the State.
Disclosures Made by Public: Exami-
ner Under the New Law Re-
-.: sponsible for the Move.

Time has proved the wisdom of the last
legislature in passing, the act which gives
the public examiner authority TO exam
inc the books of railroad companies.
:. In less than a year, through the work
of an expert railroad accountant, Pupnc
Examiner S. r.. Johnson has made num-
Der. of important discoveries. He has
found that: many items Of income are
omitted by various railroad companies
in making their reports of gross earnings
to the state for purposes OF taxation. =, =
The companies claimed that these items
were not subject to tax, and 1t Is under
stood that several are now IN dlspute.
However, the Great Northern has already
paid in $4,000 back taxes on the earnings
of it's elevators in Minneapolis.
Public Examiner Johnson conceived the
idea of a uniform system of reporting
ra rnines. and took the question up With
the railroad accountants and with the
attorney. general Negotiations are now
in progress. = -;
Never before has the railroad and ware
house commission questioned the gross
earnings reports made by the rallroaas,
but the new law and the action OF the
public examiner stirred the commission
and its expert accountant was also sent
to examine the railroad books. AS re-
suit, the commission is said to have de-
cided on a new form for reporting gross
earnings: 1t may soon be given 70; the
railroad companies in the form Of an
order, compelling them to report receipts
from numerous sources itemized. Among
the items that will be listed on the new
forms are storage, demurrage, excess bag
| gage. dockage, switching charges tele-
graph, express and mail earnings rent of
equipment by contract, special car service,
! locomotive and car service rented, in
| come from leases Of right of way, income
from elevators and various other items.
Some of these are now included in reports
Of part of the companies, but all are more
| or less in controversy. ... ....' .
| g.. It will be rather difficult for the railroad
companies to comply with such an order
as their accounts for this year are made
up on the old plan, and without any ref
erence to change. The companies will
protest against some of them. claiming
| that they are not taxable. but the COM
mission will probably insist on their being
