Anstruther felt the rooted objection which
every good, manly fellow must make at the
thought of his sweetheart working for her
daily bread. He wanted to assume that bur
den himself but Elsa had insisted upon wait
ing until every cent was paid on their home
nest. Moreover, he disliked the publicity of it
all, the phase of life which she must newt
ably see day after Cay. But Elsa alternately
pouted and cajoled until she won her point
and was duly installed as key and mail clerk
at the Stuyvesant House.
| At first she was radiantly happy in her
work. The manager Of the hotel, Mr.. Pax
| ton, had been her fathers friend and took
more than passing interest in his new en-
| ploye. It was pleasant to- wear her long,
trailing black skirt and fresh,. dainty shirt
waist every day and to sweep into the din
| ing-room where well-trained walters served
| her. And pleasanter still it was to buy GER
| tain little luxuries she had long wanted to
add to her wedding outfit.
| But by and by the serpent of envy raised
| its head in her new found Eden. The regular
guests passed her in such bewildering va
| rety OF frocks that her own simple outfit
turned rusty in her eyes. Out of town peo-
| pie, In for few days shopping, sent home
c.. o. ID. packages that made her own pur-
| chases look absurdly small She discovered
| that what appeared like luxuries to her were
| the everyday necessities to the majority OF
Stuyvesant House guests And why should
| these women who carried their beautiful
| gowns with such poor grace be given all the
| good things of life while she had so little to
set off her natural attractions? There were
the two daughters of Butte mine operator
who wore rings outside their gloves and
| tipped the walters with crisp bills. They had
| actually offered her a tip one day as sht
handed out their keys. Thinking of it all, q
fever sometimes burned in her veins thai
even the overworked electric fan above hel
| head could not counteract.
Many of the guests tried to patronize her
but she kept herself proudly in hand. A!
for the men, she vouchsafed them only the
demurest "good morning when they mad,
frequent and often unnecessary trips to he
| desk. This-until Ainslee came. Ainslee rep

call on Ella the other day, and had the nerve
to ask her If any one had proposed marriage
to her Of late The result OF this query
told in his own words was as follows:
MISE Ewing smiled until her mouth looked
like, the slot in street mail box. She made
no further reference to her love affairs, but
left it to the imagination Of her visitor. II
her heart is as big AS her hand, however.
| there is certainly room for lots of love above
her diaphragm.
It is to be hoped that Beaupre will not be
discouraged by this Interview. 1t Is not every
day that Ella will be able to draw a whale
like Beaupre, for the ordinary big man in
the museum would not make a mouthful for
the Missouri charmer ~s-.. -. .z2r = T. r

One Of our contemporaries which makes
great demonstrations in favor of reform,
but evidently wishes to take its reform in
small doses, has been very apprehensive
lest Mr.. Waite's appointment as chief Of
police might prove to be a, serious mis-
take. AS stated in The Journal Of
Saturday, however, ethe mayors policy
will emanate from the mayors office. Mr.
Jones has asserted his disposition to have
it so and Mr.. Waite testifes to his de-
sire that that shall be the case. So it
follows that, unless Mr.. Jones is to be
discredited in advance of any indicat ation
of his policy, all these tremors and shud-
ders Of apprehension have been quite too
previous and altogether unnecessary.

RECORD BREAKING RUNS

In these days record breaking railway
runs are frequently recorded: The new
twenty hour train between New York and
Chicago, via the New York Central rail-
way, is daily record breaking train.
The other day it made a squirt
of sixty-three miles an : hour main
tanned for nearly eight hours,
between Brocton, N. Y, and Chicago
4S1 miles. This is fast time
This train in getting It's mark recently
ran into a derailed freight and was some
what shattered but nobody was seriously
hurt. "A high speed express on the Penn
sylyania railroad collided with coal car
near xenia, Ohio, a few days ago and
was badly wrecked, seven persons being
killed and many were injured. The coal
car which did the mischief broke loose
from a coal train on siding and plunged
down the grade to meet the fast express
It did so. These are few of the Incl
dents attending the record breaking
trains Better call them incidents. They
are not accidents.
These incidents have been frightfully
numerous since Jan. /. The disposition
to merge railway properties under mu'
tual interest combinations does not seen
to promote greater security against Sin
cidents." Surely, with all the great i'm
provements in roadbeds, rails, railwa!
safety appliances, electric signalling
block systems, train-d -dispatching, the pub
lie ought, really, to be able to enjoy |
larger sense Of security when they avail
themselves of modern convenieneces o

WILD FLOWER

Teach me, pray, o! fairest Of the fair,
The greatness of thy gentle life;
Shining about light so pure and rare,
without shade Of worldly lust and strife.
So dear, 80 kind, no earthly glory's dream
: Disturbs thee in thy tranquil blooming
there;
So graciously thy tender life doth seem
To give to all around thee each share.
And when the giving OF thy beauty's past
Thou sowest well thy seasons hundred fold,
While still live on the hearts thy life made
fast
In an immortal bond of strength untold
Guiding its captives from the paths they trod
Unto the love OF the Eternal God.

as the senator is the greatest living post

minute. and then, with beaming smile, said:

There are probably many of Depew's own
stories in the book Deoew doesn't tell this
one however:
'.When Senator Depew and Mark Twain met
the other night, the senator began story,
at the conclusion of which he laughed heart
lily. Mark Twain smiled sadly and said: Sen

turned up his palm and Mr.. Clemens exam-

to Judge Alley in the house last session. He

attention at the regular session, but during
the extra session he came to the front. He
was the author of the wide open amend

refused to stand for, but the ultimate result
was a set Of amendments incorporating the
wide-open ideas in a restricted form. During
both sessions he showed a clear head, sound
