TWO WOMEN WHO SUCCEEDED IN
/ THE BUSINESS OF RAnROADING

riage had been telegraph operator on
the road. All her married life she had
been doing more CT less of the clerical
work OF the office. ella Bend is little
place in the middle OF long division.
and is as lonesome as only a coal and
water station in the Great American
Desert can be; and It was almost i'm
possible to keep a clerk there for any
| length of time. In the interval between
the departure OF one clerk and the ar
rival of his succes ssor Mrs. Pease learned
all the details and routine of the Of
fee and now. on the detection OF her
husband, the knowledge was very handy.
'One day the superintendent OF the
division dropped into Gila Bend. The
acting trainmaster was having an audi
ence with big engineer, who had care
| lessly run through an open switch. He
sat a grinning watcher while the dainty
| little woman made the engineer squirm
with her scathing comment on his gross
negligence, and when she calmly told
the big fellow he could take thirty-day
vacation, to improve his eyesight,' ths
official was evidently satisfied that the
A. T. NJ. was onto her Job The super
intendent made no comment on any
thing IN connection with the business Of
the office. nor did he make any sugges-
tions. but few days later Mrs. Pease
received the official circular that told
of her appointment as trainmaster.
1T was q year after the ladys ap-
pointment that l came through ella
Bend, looking for work. and sought ths
trainmasters office. / entered. but all
most backed out again. l thought had
invaded someone's private quarters
There was a carpet on the floor and
neat curtains at the windows, and ev-
erything looked suspiciously clean for q
railroad office. Before l could get cut,
however, neat little woman came to
the railing from behind big desk and
asked my business. I was plainly To-
coed and suffered around like
schooiboy, but finally made her UNDER
stand that l was looking for the train.
master.
I hold that position. What can
do for you?
IL regained my nerve. and told her I
was looking for work in trainservice.
and handed her a bunch OF letters and
service cards
she looked the papers over, and then
said:
They are all right. but you are too
old to enter our service as a new man;
the age limit is thirty-six. and then. too.

am sorry. but cur rules are very
strict.
Il asked then for transportation east.
and this charming little trainmaster
turned to big black whiskered individ-
ual behind one OF the desks. saying:
OLIVER Make the gentleman out q

for work. Coed day; sir
When l got outside l found out that
the dark haired man was the lady's hus-
band. He had come back from Cuba as
III as ever for his old position, but the
present incumbent was giving entire
satisfaction. and he either had to con-
tent himself with a clerkship In his
wifes Office or go elsewhere, and he
wisely took the first offer.

heart instead of head on her neck re-
called sweetheart who had been false
TO him.
Many similar cases came under the no.
tlce of the writer each telling its inter
esting history
When tattooing first came into vogue
it was practiced as religion and any
one who failed to have themselves ap-
propriateIy decorated was regarded as
wholly and thoroughly lacking in faith.
The practice is known 10 have existed as
far back as 1900 B. c., when it was preva-
lent among the Toltecs, a people who
inhabited Mexico but who disappeared
from there some years later and who
have never been heard from since.
That society has seen fit to adopt the
practice as a fad is not to be wondered
at when viewed from a fad viewpoint
Anything will serve societys purpose In
this regard. but this latest novelty prom
ises to be more serious than any of its
predecessors, for its indelible stain will
always be a monument to it's memory and
an omnipresent reminder TO those who
allow mere fancy to govern their rea-
son for even short time. While the
fad may be accorded longer life than
is usually allowed to things of its sort,
the fact will be generally deplored b.
members of the sterner sex that the
beautiful arms and neck of the incom-
parable American woman have been sac
rifced and that the daubs OF the little
old japanese ink brush have marred the
snowy whiteness OF the skin.

| NOMETIMES railroad companies de-
part from all rules and traditions
~ OF service, and make innovations
that, to say the least, are rather
startling" said an old railroad man
yesterday. 1T is only few years since
the Southern Pacific Railroad officials
saw the collapse OF what seemed to be
very promising experiment. yet now
it has another, and in this case, too. the
results, so far. are verr satisfactory.
Ten or dozen years ago old
Charlie Crocker, as he was familiarly
called by almost every employe OF the
Southern Pacific, as a reward for a par
ticularly daring and meritorious act,
prevailed on the directorate OF the road
to educate young girl. She had lived
all her life in the mountains OF New
Mexico, with almost no associates ex-
cept her father, an engineer. and his
fireman. She was a railroad girl from
top to toe, ami her knowledge OF rail-
road craft enabled her TO avert what
might have been an awful disaster. Her
reward was an education such as few
girls of her station IN life ever at
tain. Everything one OF the best edu-
oational institutions in the West could
do was done for her, and at the COM
pletion OF the collegiate term she was
given a postgraduate course in me-
chanical engineering. Her schooling
finished, she was given position In the
OH ~ bo farndant OT Of two
power at nice salary, which was look
ed upon by the men In the Office as a
kind of pension. 1t was supposed that.
In office parlance, she would hold the
chair and that her time would be &C.
cupied by purely technical duties, but
the young woman soon proved that she
was worth more than her salary.
"One day, within year Of her gradu-
alton. she submitted plans and speci-
fcations for new type OF engine.
There we're a number OF new ideas in
the plans and some very decided i'm
proyements, and 1t was just the thing
the company had been looking for. Some
of the best mountain engines the South
ern Pacific has ever had were built from
that set of plans.
1T was n rude shock to the mascu-
line element in that office that the girl
should carry off the honors they thought
so safely their own, and then they fell
to wondering what this phenomenal girl
would dc next.
"She did what they all do when the
right man comes along.
"One day a big official OF an Eastern
road came through the offices. No one
ever knew how 1t happened. but the
bright light OF the motive power staff
ended by trading mechanics for matri-
mony An experiment with the new
woman was closed and the first lady
mechanic of the land was transformed
into what she is today-a very happy
wife.
Not until four years ago did the
staid old management take another
plunge into officially unknown waters

But not entirely so. The National
Capital still suffers, as does every
other large city, from the existence Of
this evil and in order TO minimize the
annoyance Major Richard Sylvester, su-
perintendent OF Police OF the District,
pronounced anti-"masher." has reiter-
ated to the members Of his force his
instructions long ago given that firt-
ing ON the streets or about the public
places OF this city must be prevented,
or course. this has not stopped the op-
orations of the ''masher." but It has re
suited in abating the nuisance, and con-
dltions have improved.

oglers to be very cautious upon tho

watching for them, and in the justice

ance. There was time when a lady
hardly dared to 90 upon the streets of
this city after dark. but now such is
not the case. ! do not mean to say that
the city is rid Of the 'masher' He is

operations and is careful in the mat

lice of the District have instructions to
keep the crowds moving on Street
and the other thoroughfares. and this
has helped the situation. OF course,
there are times when it is necessary for
men to wait upon the street corners.
Sometimes they are waiting for a GER
tain car or for some friend or for lady
members of their families. 1t is neces-
sary. therefore, for the officers of the
law to exercise discretion in putting
down this evil, and they seldom make
mistake in approaching those who
loi:er upon the streets of the city.
There is an improved situation also
in the public parks. The 'chappies
used to be much worse in these places
than they now are. In one of the parks
some time ago the 'masher' became so
Objectionable and offensive that the
benches were removed therefrom"
But the young man is not alone in the
heart-smashing business. There is the
girl masher. and her get-up"fs as wcn-

derful as the milliner and the dress
maker can fashion. Above all else the
girl masher must wear a hat with IN
Vulnerable wells tucked around 1t and
many streamers hanging down behind.
Flowers Of many different sorts are not
necessity. but they help some.
A rather loud gown with many ruff
fles and furbelows also adds much to the
effect. and II fluffy boa is worn about
the neck. few flowers tucked here and
there and many futtering ribbons at
tached at the proper places. the ensem-
BILE will surely break the heart OF the
most fOpplsh masher that ever smirk-
ed on corner or Ah-there-ed" in the
park.
When a young woman thus attired
looms into sight in one direction and n
young man in the latest killing
makeup heaves into sight from another
direction then Is when the tug of war
begins. It is then that an irresistible
force meets the immovable object and
the fun begins.

LOVE

Love is Magic Flower. CROWNS

Love is Crucif1x. sublimely cruel;
Love is a Crucible. where Life's

Becomes pure Gold, If Self be used for

Love is Lamp that gaineth Day and

Nor waneth in the Moons too garish
Light;
Love is the Morning and the Evening

Which putteth Doubts, like shadowy
Bats, to Flight,
Love is the fadeless Crown on Brows

cease to throw its brilliant rays upon
the Inhabitants of this fair earth, and
the moons mission as a matchmaker
have been fulfilled. Without the aid of
fads to keep the social ball rolling.
society would succumb to ennui, but
when there is a chance of a new propo-
sition-something that no one has
thought out before and something in
which one may be the first and others
is encouraging.
Succeeds Pet Dog Teas.
Afternoon teas for pet dogs have been
given by ingenious hostesses and cos
tune dinner parties have served as
unique innovation during the past sea-
son. Whether the dogs have rebelled
and refused TO attend similar affairs
given in their honor or whether the ad-
vent OF summer is a bar to fancy dress
ing for dinner is a question not easily
answered. 1t is true, nevertheless, that
these forms of entertainment have been
discontinued, and society salaams before
the newest fad-tattooing.
Il seems almost brusque to say that
the members Of what is looked upon as
the highest social set, especially the
feminine portion of that set, have adopt
ed the new fad with extraordinary vigor,
and that they are fast becoming great
advocates of what has been regarded as
the sole privilege of circus freaks, men
of the navy, and others not permitted
within the sacred confines OF real polite
society.
Yet that is society's hobby now. The
little japanese, with his wicker basket
and instruments of torture, is admitted
at once into my lady's boudoir, and in
structions left with the butler that the
mistress OF the house is not at home
In Her Dainty Boudoir.
Surrounded by all the dainty appoint
ments that wealth can furnish and with
all the means OF comfort within her
reach. she bares her pretty arm and
submits to the operation. The dark lit
tie man brings out q handsomely en-
broidered needle-case filed with many
different sized needles, some large, some
small. others heavy. and still more that
are so fine that one marvels at the pos
sibility of their usefulness
There is large assortment of COL
ored inks. black. blue. purple. red. yell
low, green, and, in fact, almost every
color known to the eye. The inks are
made in China and Japan and are manu-
factured for decorative purposes.
Holding his needle with the air of an
experienced artist, the man begins to
prick the delicate skin. Deity and with

Toned brush for the needle and soaks the
raw flesh IN the prepared ink. Its stain
is indelible. and as long as life lasts so
long will the mark remain. He con-
tinues to prick the skin until definite
figure is outlined.
Excruciating Pain.
In addition TO the pecullarity of this
mode of decorating, the pain is excruci- |
ating. When one sticks ones finger ac-
cidentally with misplaced pin the |
pain is intense. but when that same
smarting, stinging sensation Is repeated
time and again 1t results in an opera
