April Brings Freezing Weather.

The weather yesterday was of the
sort that made winter overcuats aud
gloves necessary and 1t required a
glance at the calendar to convince one
that it was not the month of Feb
ruary At six a. m. the mercury reg
istered at 2G'degrees; at noon it was
only two degrees above the freezing
point. \ high Northwest wind added
to the chilling effect of the atmos-
phcre, while the dust was quite as much
of a nuisance as on the preceding
dav. Altogether conditions out of
doors were so disagreeabIe that few
people were seen upon the streets and
these were careful not to tarry there
any longer than necessary.

Editor The Call: Allow me, as an old

editorial on Rail Disasters" 1 truly
hope that all railroad managers

One thing, however. you missed and
that is there are too many boys en-
ployed who do not realize the inn
portance of their position and who
are careless of their duties. Superin-
tendents keep them just because they

they depend on luck too much. En-
gineers and firemen who are always
looking for some girl to wave at COM

tending to their duties are poor men
for people to ride with.

FTEN-I may even say usually
~ it falls to an engaged girl to
make a reputation for her
y fiance among the friends of her
family. If the young man
comes from another city, or
even from the opposite side of a great
place like San Francisco. it is likely
that the girls acquaintances hardly
meet him before the wedding. So they
form their ideas of him from what
she and her family tell them.
If girls could only realize how indis-
erect they are in their public conf
dence about accepted lovers The things
that they say in their thoughtlessness
make older women who are friends or
theirs long to muzzle them.
BY frivolous sentences, meant lightly,
but capable of serious Interpretation,
they label as undesirable, or as semi
idiotic, the men whom they are going
to marry.
Why, 1 have even known a girl in love
to lose her head so absolutely that she
enthusiastically regaled a luncheon
party. made up of people who had
never met her intended, with a detailed
description of his fondness for hash.
One of her hearers confessed to me
recently that she had never since been
able to think of him in any way except
as "Mary's husband who liked hash.
She realized, she said. the injustice OF
her attitude. She knew that he was
clever enough to make a good living;
otherwise Mary would not dress so ele-
gantly as she does.
She can see that he is a man of taste
in things esthetic-frOn whatever be-
longings of his are in evidence about
his house when she calls. She remem-
bers him as tall and gCod-looking. But
as he is too busy man to go out much
socially she has had no opportunity Of
meeting him since the wedding. So in
her mind there stands out conspicuous
ly from later, more fattering impress
sions that first ludicrous view which
she had of him as a man who was in
ordinately fond of hash.
And parents are equally foolish in re-
marks which they make about a pros
pective son-in-law. They throw too
much emphasis upon some advantage
of his for which he is not himself re-
sponsible. They tell about the excel
Ience of his family connections, or the
riches he has inherited. They are 81
lent about little evidences of individual
worth, which count wholly to the young
mans credit. They are too anxious to
tell the world that their daughter has
made a good match
Are they so blind that they cannot
see hat they are giving good cause
for criticism which will be urfavorable
to themselves and their daughter?

SEE BULLETS FLY.

ent of The Sun.
Several of the gunners laughed It
him, but he induced them finally to
come to his side at point about 15O
yards from the target
1t was nearly p. m. and the sun
was shining at a favorable angle. Cal
lahan was able to point out to his
frields silver streaks which Travelled
from the gun to the target at each shot.
The bullets appeared like glimpses of
telephone wire glistening In the sun
light. the metal rejecting the rays of
the sun.
The sportsmen were able to study
the bullets flight until the light
changed.
The rifles used were a 80 Win
chester. 80 Marlin, 1890 Win
chester and a 1856 Winchester, and
the bullets from them were observed
without the aid of field glasses.
Some sportsmen who were not pres
ent on the afternoon of the target
practice mentioned were not inclined
to accept the story, and it was for
their observation and benefit that
second series of experiments was held.
The guns used on this occasion were
a 1885 and .3S-40 of Winchester
patterns, each firing factory ammuni-
ton.
1t was observed that some of the
bullets Travelled with greater speed
than others, owing to a slight varia-
tion in the loading machines at the
cartridge factory. The speedy bullets
appeared with a thinner line of light
than the slow ones.
1t was also found that the vision
was quicker than the rifle ball. for the
eye could anticipate the arrival of the
bullet at the target, see the bullet and
watch the target for it to strike.

THIRD TERM-Subscriber, City.
There is nothing in the constitution Of
the United States nor in any of the
laws of the country against any one
running for a third term as President
OF the United States The precedent
set by George Washington in declining
a third term, has generated a prejudice
in the American mind against more
than two terms. An attempt was
made to nominate General Grant in
1880 for a third term and the reason
for such attempted nomination was
that his candidacy then was the same
as the candidacy Of a new man. for
