VIOLATED MINNESOTA LAW.
Iowa Game Warden Fined 500 in st
Paul Court.

st. Paul, Oct. 16.-H. S. Tubbs OF
Manchester, Ia. was fined 500 in po
lice court during the day for having
in his possession two deer hides, two
hind and two forequarters of venison
five partridges and four black bass
which he was in the act of shipping
ont of the state when arrested by Dep.
uty State Game Warden Boyd at the
Union depot
The irony of the situation is that
Tubbs is deputy under Chief Game
Warden Lincoln of Iowa
The game, it appeared from Mr.
Tubbs' statement, was killed in Wis
consin and was being shipped to Iowa
via Minnesota. Under the game laws
this makes no difference and, as Tubbs
pleaded guilty to having the game ir
his possession. he was assessed the
minimum penalty for each deer $50.

TIE QUEEN WAS UNNERvED.
Victoria Was Not So Ready at Speak
ing in Public as King
Edward Is.

How many of King Edwards prede-
cessors on the throne, one wonders,
have made 80 speeches out of Eng
land in as many days? asks the London
Chronicle. The activities of the king,
no sooner home again than he is pre-
pairing for Dalkeith and Holyrood,
call strangely to mind the quieter
wears which followed the death of his
father, and lasted as long as the
Victorian era. None of US have been
before so used to royal speeches as
we have become of late, and some
of us, perhaps, remember the nerv-
BUSINESS with which Queen Victoria
sometimes faced an audience.
Sir William Harcourt has a vivid
recollection of one occasion at least
when he had to speak in place of the
queen, who sat listening to the
declaration she should have made
herself 1t was at the opening of the
law courts, nearly 81 years ago. A
distinguished audience had gathered
to hear her majesty proclaim the
building open, and it was not until
almost the very minute at which the
queen was due to speak that she
called the home secretary to her side
and whispered something in his ear.
The next minute Sir William Har-
court stood forward, and said he had
the queens command to declare the
law courts open, and everybody knew
that the monarch of worldwide
empire was unnerved.

ness of the road. Up to this time the
ndebtedness of the road had been
secured only by a mortgage and by
few of the principal stockholders
who have been liable for the debt.
A report of the financial condition
of the road showed it very prosper
Gus. The gross earnings of the road
since last October amount to some
thing like $21, ,O0O while the net earn
ings amount to about $4,000. The
total debtedness of the road is now
about 100000. 1t can be seen that
the total Indebtedness can be paid
in about four years at the present
rate of earnings. The earnings, how
ever, will be much greater in the fu-
ture than they have been in the past.
This report ought to put complete
quietus on the rumor that the road
has been sold to the 500 or any other
party. The Farmers railroad still
lives and will no doubt be on earth
for wears to come.

THE INDIGO BIRD.

Oh, late to come but long to sing,
NV little finch of deep-dyed wing.
welcome thee this day!
Thou contest with the orchard bloom,
The azure days, the sweet perfume
That fills the breath Of May.
A winged gem amid the trees,
A CHEEKY strain upon the breeze
From tree-top sitting down:
leafy nest in covert low,
When daisies come and brambles blow.
A mate in Quaker brown.
But most / prize, past summers prime,
When other throats have ceased to chime
Thy faithful tree-top strain;
No brilliant bursts our ears enthrall-
prelude with dying fall
That soothes the summers pain.
Where blackcaps sweeten in the shade,
And clematis a bower hath made,
Or, in the bushy fields.
On breezy slopes where cattle Craze,
At noon on dreamy August days,
Thy strain it's solace yields.
Oh, bird Injured to sun and heat,
And STEPPED in summer languor sweet,
The tranquil days are thine.
The seasons fret and urge are o'er,
Its tide is lettering on the shore:
Make thy contentment mine!

ABOLITION OF MIDDLE-AGE.
1t Seems to Have Stepped Backward
and Marched Alongside
of Youth.

Half century ago man of IS was
regarded almost elderly and woman
of the same age was expected to have
long since cut herself adrift from all
ties binding her to her youth and to
assume the appearance and deport-
ment of a staid, exemplary matron.
All this has changed in particularly
interesting way, of which the promi-
nent features is seeming contradic-
tion, says the Spectator. If the three
year-old child of to-day is as knowing
as was the six-year-old child of half
a century ago, and the ten-year-old
boy of to-day is in many respects quite
a much a man al was his grandfather
at IS, one might naturally expect that
in due gradation the modern middle
aged man should be old beyond his
years. But such is not the case.
MidC-e age, so far from hurrying on
into senility, so far even from stand
ing still, would seem actually to have
stepped backward and marched along
side of youth. There is a jauntiness, a
buoyancy, an elasticity about the mid
die age of to-day at which our fathers
would have shaken their heads as un-
seemly. The gulf which once sepa-
rated the middleaged parent from his
children has been filled up. The cur
tain which shrouded the middle-aged
man generally from the eyes of youth
and which caused him to be regarded
with respect, if not in awe, has been
lifted, and in obedience to the same
influences which have made the
schoolmaster the friend of the school
boy and the regimental officer almost
the comrade of his men, the middle
as when, working with or playing upon
an equality with, and actually in COM
petition with, youth.
AS with men so it is with women.
Social statisticians tell us that the
age at which women are considered
most eligible for marriage has been
very notably advanced of late years,
and we know that the lament of many
a matchmaking mamma is that the
most dreaded rivals of her darling are
not to be found so much among the
girls of her own age as among women
who not many years ago would have
been relegated to the ranks of hopeless
old maidenhood. The fact that the
middle-aged lady of to-day is much
younger in manner and tastes is, of
course, not the only reason for this,
but it is among the most potent.

''Is her illness so serious that you

"Practically. You see it is what

Sir Roland took the doctor to one
side and unfolded his plan, although
the doctor warned him that Camille
could live but few hours; then, de-
liberately pushing the nurse to one
side, he entered Camille's room, and
was Mortified at the change in her
condition, her lips were white as
death, her face was ghastly like that

green shaded lamp made the room
look weird and strange. Had he
been a closer observer he would have
noticed a mocking smile playing
about her mouth as he told her Of a
certain thing he intended to do. But,
as a most natural consequence, he
saw nothing. Returning two days

authority of the law, Camille Rodays

the nurse was ordering him out OF
the house, declaring that the excite
| ment brought on by the kasty mar
riage would be the death Of the girl.
| Sir Roland walked rapidly down
the narrow little street with very
serious expression on his handsome
young face. He was both glad and
| sorry; he was thoroughly convinced
that he had done the right thing by
Camille. He at least had kept his
word, but the family-what would
they say? Then the thought came t.,
him that probably Camille would die
| in a week or so; before his chival-
rous act became known; and the
| very next moment the thought Of
| Camille dying set his heart to beat
ing wildly. After he had walked
| some distance he took a cigar from
an inner pocket, bit off the end and
was going to light it when he felt a
sticky SUBSTANCE on his lips. 1mpul-
sively, he drew his hand across his
mouth, then looked at his fingers, and
saw they were smeared with a cos
metic-
"Could it be?" he asked himself,
then he remembered how round and
| plump Camille's hand was when he
placed the ring on her finger. Turn
| ing back, he walked rapidly, his
heart filled with doubt and misgiv-
| ing AS he again approached the
| pretty little villa he turned hastily
down a side street that led directly
past the garden. Reaching the gate,
| he lifted the latch and entered, with
| the same rapid strides he walked up

In the garden room, seated about

and on the other the doctor" in
whom Sir Roland recognized young
variety actor that had lately become
popular; some chorus girls and few
amateurs completed the company.
| "How strange that I should not have
| been asked to this feast" he said,
entering the room very quietly.
The doctor" made an effort to re-
ply, the nurse" covered her face

mute and dumb with terror, but Ca

went to him.

You will forgive me-you will-Ro-

arms to him. and for moment he
hesitated, then almost fiercely he
took her in his arms and showered
her face with kisses.
A fortnight later London was
startled by the announcement that
Sir Roland Chesterton has abdicated
in favor of his cousin, Sir Charles.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Some Facts Which Will BE OF Interest
tn People Who Do Much
Travelling.

There are two main reasons for rail-
way wrecks in the United States; the
large number of lines which have only
single tracks, and the great respon-
sibility that is thrown upon one man.
In England more than five times as
great part of the railroad lines are
double-tracked as in the United
States In our vast, half-settled states
the companies have not enough bust-
ness to justify the building Of double
tracks, says Youths Companion.
The error of one-man responsibility
must also be laid to the desire for econ
omy. 1t is not the American way to
have two men to one task; rather Is
there a tendency to put two tasks up
on one man. Yet human experience,
and more specifically the experience
of railroad men, shows that there are
moments in the day of every man
when his mind lapses for an instant.
In that instant the engineer may fail
to note signal while his helper, the
fireman, is back shoveling coal. One
American newspaper suggests that
there should be two engineers. The
railroads recognize in way that even
good man is not infallible by limit
ing the working time of an engineer
to few hours day, sometimes as few
as four hours. But even that allow
sion does not provide for the ever
lasting chance of human failure so
well as would second engineer, who
should be in the cab all the time.
In the inquiry into the terrible wreck
at Westfield, n. j., this year, it was
shown that green signal, which
means 'go slow" had been set. Just
for the fatal second when the engine
flew by this signal the engineer was
trying to adjust a defective injector
valve. A second engineer would have
prevented the disaster.
The problem of preventing wrecks
is one for the railroads and for the law
to solve. There are, however, some
useful suggestion which the individual
may paste inside his travelling hat to
protect himself in case of disaster.
A study of wrecks shows that the
lightest car is the most dangerous.
heavy baggage car, one smoker and
one Pullman sleeper. Whether the
collision be head-on or at the rear,
the light smoking car between the two
heavy ones is sure to suffer. The
principle holds, no matter in what Or
der the cars are arranged. Set paste
board box and two wooden ones in a
row scudding across the floor. Unless
the pasteboard box is on the outer end,
and in some degree even then, it will
be the sufferer when the train strikes
the wall. The wooden boxes may not
show a dent.
If baggage car is heavily laden, or
if it is built with a steel floor, it will
be safer than light passenger coach,
which in collision will act as a buffer
to it, and will squeeze together like a
chicken coop of lathes. Old railroad
men say: stick to the heavy cars
1t is easy to see why.
