knowledge of the machinery he operates and has a most useful effect. It gives him more confidence on the front end he knows just exactly what is being done The man is then told what to do in emergencies and how to stop his car, It las happened-not more than once or twice in an ordinary generation, how ever-that car gets started and all the efforts of the motorman will not stop it. The thing to do is to cut off the power first and then turn the reverse lever to the opposite direction from which the car is going. The car will stop itself within length or two.
 This is thing that hardly any of our motormen knew when we brought them to this school. The lack of such knowledge might cause disastrous ac- cident. Under the present condition a serious accident is absolutely impossible on our road under present system of in- struction for the motormen. An electric car on our roads can get in no condition where it cannot be stopped within a length or two: it makes no difference how great the speed is,
 "We have a thousand men on our roads, and every one of them will be re- quired to take a course of instruction here and to listen to my lectures-the old man as we'll as the new. We have all of them here already Friday even- ings, when the lectures are given, but necessarily in small groups and scatter ed over several Fridays. We will re- quire the men to explain to us just what they have learned, and man who has not learned anything will not be re- tained."
 l. A school for conductors is also held in the same room. Samples of all the transfers used and of the registers in all the cars for registering the fares are in the room, and the conductor Is shown the use of each. He, too, Is required to learn the rules, and he is given a book which gives all the information about the various roads controlled by the company, and when the first and last cars leave given points. Much of this information is for the benefit of the pas isengers. MT. Fuller, the general man. ager of the road. said that all the mo- tormen and conductors have been invi- ted to attend the school, and that all who do not attend the November ses- sions will be ordered to attend the ses- sions in December.
 Friday evening is the time of the lec- lures. The school is modelled after the one established by the Metropolitan company of New York for the ilistruc- tion of it's motormen. The local school is smaller, but is just as complete in ev- cry detail as the New York institution. In New York more than five thousand motormen are required to attend, conse- quently a much larger school is needed. -Washingtei Star.

days on the road and the loss in weight was as much as five hundred pounds a night, which, in addition to the cost of the drive, reduced the net income for the Wallowa farmer materially.
 It was for the purpose of aecommoda- tng the WaIIoWa trade and reaching the Imnaha mining region that the recently wrecked boat was built by the citizens of Lewiston. Not discouraged at the loss of the first boat, the people of Lew iston have subscribed the necessary money for the building Of another, and by May the Upper Snake will again be naYigated by a boat to the stream.
 An electric line across Neg Perces and Carnas Prairie to Grangeyille is also being considered, and there is little doubt that, through forces at work within and without this vast inland empire will be brought into closer touch with the markets of the world in the near future.-Portland oregonian.

 There is as much difference in the ways of making these familiar pies as there is in tastes; therefore recipe fo mince meat should always be tested by making a little of it on trial. What may seem the correct flavoring for one may be too eweet or too acid for anoth- er.-New York Tribune.

HOWARD HENRY OF PRINCETONs
 I read with interest your correspon- dents suggestion that the two impor- tant contributory causes of Princeton's s' defeat of Yale should not be lost sight of, namely, Vetterlein's good judgmentl in making free catch, which made pos- sible the goal from the field, and the irl- terference for De Witt after he had obs tained the ball and was on his way to d touchdown.
 Undoubtedly Princeton would not have won except for the coolness and skill of one Princeton man, who, racing. down the field beside De Witt, seized the exactly right moment to fall in the path of the Yale man who had gained on De Witt and was about to make an apparently successful tackle. This man was Howard Henry. Princetons right end.
 None of the accounts of the game, even your own most interesting one, gave him credit for this; but the act has generally been attributed, as by your correspondent to Davis. In fact. Henry's brilliant game has been over- looked by the writers, and he has been confused in several instances with oth- CT players. His splendid aggressiveA. ness, fierce tackling, good Judgment and great speed in following the ball gave a support and confidence to his team in the first half that was very apparent to those experienced in watching football games, and was a most important fac- tor in the eventual victory.--Thomas Ridgway in the New York Sun.

Early in December Time to Make Fill
 ing for Them.
 November, the opening month of the season of frost, is the time when the busy housekeeper prepares her fruit cake, mince pies and also her Christi mas pudding, which should be boiled and hung to ripen weeks before Christi mas.
 The old time mince pie was not made of beef, but of mutton, and q coarse, greasy dish it must have been. Later a beef's tongue was substituted for the mutton. In those days tongue did not bring the fancy price 1t does to-day, and, when not utilized in some such way, was quite likely to be thrown with the refuse, as oxtails, sweetbreads and other delicaeies once were. One of the best and richest rules for mince meat is as follows: Chop fine in a meat chopper two and half pounds

WHEN ONES NAME is CHANGED.
Some Resulting Inconvenience and q
Joke by Oliver HEREFORD.

Changing ones name has its neon
veniences. A man who has just tried it
complains that the experiment will cost
him about 500 in fees Of various kinds,
advertising, and what comes to the same
thing, new, visiting cards and notes Of
explanation to few thousand acquaint-
ances. After all that he expects to have
Inconvenience and expenses OF various
kinds until the world finally forgets that
he ever had any other name than that which
he has Just assumed,
Ernest Thompson Seton, who has tried
several combinations and permutations Of
the elements that go to make up his name,
and has finally settled down to the form
here given, has met with some embarrass-
ments and Inconvenience III the course of
his changes His acquaintances were
little slow for time to know which end
of his name came first and then to decide
whether it had or had not hyphen.
He helped them all he could by declining
to respond to the old appellation, but even
that occasionally got him into trouble.
An acquaintance hailed him as Mr.. Thomp-
son on the street one day after his last
change of name. Mr.. Seton walked on
and took no notice.
The salutation was repeated and re
peated until, at last, the acquaintance
laid hand on his shoulder and once more
called him by the abandoned name.
But. you know, my name isn't Thomp-
son: it's Seton" said the author
"Oh, In that case said the other, "per-
haps have made a mistake. I was going
to invite Mr. Thompson to dinner, but If
I've got hold of the wrong man, of course,
III not deliver the invitation"
Even Mrs, Seton has not escaped the
inconvenience Of her husbands changes
OF name, for, like a dutiful wife, she has
followed them all and has industriously
tried to keep her acquaintances informed
of the latest change. Some time ago she
met Oliver HEREFORD in company and looking
at him said;
"I'm sure you don't know me-
yes" said Mr.. Herford promptly, with
a grin Of recognition and something else,
Il know your face perfectly well, but I
can't keep quite track Of your name
