SHE WAS FROM BELOIT.
Her English Twang Created Wonder
of Fer Acquaintance.

The sun had turned New York's silhouette

Jolly fine morning to sail, don't you
think?' said voice at my elbow which
l remembered having heard before as its
owner was bidding a girl friend goodbye
at the top of the gang-plank and saying:
"Jove, l late going over alone. It's going
to be deucedly dull. Only hope there may
be some nice girl aboard to get acquainted

there are Others and without such a col
lection of adjectives to express it. Wonder
if she'll be it,
Yes, 1t was a girls voice, although it
sounded like "bally Engiishnan."
1 answered her remark about the morn
ing in a monosyllable and began to size
her up in profile while she watched the
sky scra pers fade in the mist and tried TO
look nonchalant. i've never ken a morn
ing boat BEFORE she remarked plaintively.

It's an lawful lovely party. My first

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Explanation of the Difference Between
Mileage and CredentiaI Plans.

Railway interests are watching with
interest the fight in the Western Pas
senger association over the mileage
versus the credential plan.
AS a result of the fight it is generally
believed that the Western association
win be disrupted, and many are of the
opinion that it is only a question OF
time before all of the passenger asso-
Citations will be united in one body,
which will act for all interests.
Rock Island interests are said to be
decidedly in favor of the plan invented
by Traffic Manager John Sebastlan-
which is known as the credential plan
and which possesses many admirable
points,
BY this plan the travelling man pur-
chases a eredential, for which he pays
buys a straight ticket, showing the Gre
Dental, and is given a certificate with
two stubs attached
The conductor. on presentation of this
certificate, tears off one stub and turns
it in with the ticket. the other stub is
retained by the travelling man, and
when he has travelled 1000 miles in one
year ne turns in all the stubs with the
credential and is given rebate.
By this plan. If the travelling man
does not travel at least 1000 miles in
one year he cannot get rebate, but
he can get a rebate for 1000 and all
over that he has Travelled.
Opposition to this plan developed at
the recent meeting. 1t was claimed
that many use the certificate as "a
means of speculation and were not en-
titled to the benefit, as they were not
travelling men.
1t was stated that large per cent. of
the holders of the credentials would
buy straight tickets anyhow, and the
roads were entitled to the clear profits
1t was claimed that by the use of
the mileage ticket when the drummer
would have to pay $50 cash for his
ticket it would weed out the large
number of persons who were availing
they would not be willing to invest
this amount for future and rather I'M
certain use.
On the other hand it is claimed, by
the credential plan the roads are GER
tain of getting all of the returns on the
sale of the mileage books to brokers
and mistakes in tearing off the proper
mileage can be obviated.
Opposition to the credentia1 plan was
also caused by the claim that it is often
difficult and troublesome for the trav-
cling man to get to the ticket office to
buy his ticket. whereas by the use of
the mileage book he can go to his train
without delay.
Figures produced at the meeting of
the western lines were shown to the
effect that while the ordinary local
traffic increased a large per cent. the
traffic of credential patrons increased
| to much larger proportionate extent.
! This was used as an argument in favor
of the statement that many regular pa.
irons were availing themselves of the
! credential PLAN whereas under ordi
nary conditions, or even if the road
sold mileage books they would travea
would get the entire benefit of a nor
NAL fare.

FEED THEM
The Way to Build up Wasting Children.

When babies begin to waste away
and fail there is but one thing to DO,
and that is find the proper food.
Physicians have never yet found q
stomach, young or old, that would not
digest the scientific food Grape-N Nuts
for Grape-Nuts is the most perfect fooo
build up any stomach no matter how
weak
A Washington lady says: 81 had lost
two children from marasmus, or vast
ing away, before my little boy Maurice
came, and when I found nothing agreed
with him in the way of food you can
imagine how 1 felt.
mo food seemed to satisfy his little
stomach as he would bite his fingers
and appeared to be slowly starving 10
death, crying all the time. It was
pitiable to see and hear him, and when
he was seven months old I certainly
thought I would lose him. It was
then my sister begged me to try GrapeS
Nuts, which did, using three tables
spoonfuls covered with a half pint OF
scaIded milk and a half pint of boiling
water, which after standing awhile was
strained and fed from the bottle.
From this time baby began to i'm
prove and he took absolutely no other
food until l weaned him from the bot
tic. He could not take milk in any
form except on Grape-Nuts- He is nov
in good health, strong and sturdy and
nearly three years. old. and 1 am very
proud indeed of nlg Grape-Nuts boy.

The day Martin reached his majority

Ply prospective Friday of his marriage,

feelings of surprise and wonder found
monoSyllabic expression in the little

were seen. and the breathless suspense
which had been regning, was followed
by well nigh bosterous shoutingS and
