As the White River Railroad leaves tun-
mel "A" continuing on Its way southeast
TO meet h Iron Mountain. it enters upon
the most rugged part Of its right Of way
in Missouri.
The road on this division seems to spring
from peak to peaf. the shelf on the noun
tain side being often so high that the
workrnen seem very small as one looks
up at them from a wagon road In the
depths Of the valleys.
The contractors have not only TO blast
out the way for the road Of steel rails.
but they have also found It necessary to
carve around the sides Of the mountains
and down into the valleys a road over
which their heavy freight wagons can
haul b vast stores Of dynamite and
powder, n provision for the many
camps that dot the wilderness. Supplies
must Be hauled from s%pringfleid-a dis
lance OF axty miles or more--to the camps.

From these, as a tender mother. she
would fain keep all the sofrows OF life.
Therefore. she takes a peculiar interest
In all Institutions devoted to this purpose,
and endeavors to avail herself of every
opportunity to come into personal rela-
lions with children.
One of these scenee-a visit OF the En-
press TO the school Of the DeaconnesseS
Home in Cassel-was especially charming.
The royal lady took a seat in the midst
OF the little band, and after watching
their games and hearing their songs, dis

TIL children gathered around her with.
out the least embarrassment. holding out
aprons and hands for the sweets.
There was great rejoicing in the school,
and when the Empress. who. to their as
tonishment. wore neither a gold crown
nor a crimson robe trimmed with ermine,
took leave of the little people. they called
after her. "Good-by. dear Aunt Empress;

GERMAN EMPRESSS LOVE Of CHILDREN,
Augusta Victoria Would Be the Mother Of Her Realm

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
II is well known that the Empress OF
Germany has been beloved by the nation
since her first entry into Berlin as a
bride.
A German Princess. she possesses the
traits of character which especially en-
dear her to her people, and not least
among these IS her love for children.
A German writer. in ~alluding to this az
lection for the little ones. says:
I'VE Germans may well congratulate
ourselves that the noble lady who to-day
occupies the foremost place in the Empire
Is one mindful of the responsibilities of
her position. while her kind heart wins
universal love.
The Empress in the midst Of her chill
dren has always ben a pleasing picture
to US. Its simplicity wins us far more
than all the splendor OF the court.
Every woman Of the people thinks:
She is a mother. Just as 1 am: she feels

Voltaire also said, "All the r~easonings
OF man were not worth one sentiment Of
women" Savilie, Women have more
strength in their looks thar We have in

thar we have by our arguments"
Turning to adverse criticism, Lady Mon

WIVES AND MONEY

Perhaps the first difficulty young wives
have to encounter. as well as the last that
old wives have still to wreetIe with, Is
the question of money.
Most women-do let me generalize q lit
tie more!-are by nature economical, says
Harper's Bazaar. They watch utg more
carefully than men do. and plan expendi-
lures more closely.
The e-xtravagant women are usually
those whose lives have not been allowed
to develop naturally-who have been
forced into an economic dependence, and
taught the joys of spending, with none Of
the counterbalancing difficulties Of earn
ing. But even such women have ecoriomi-
cal streaks In the midst Of their lavish
mesa sort Of spasmodic revefsion to
type.
In spite OF this there IL In most mascu-
line minds a desp-seated distrust Of wom-
ms financial ability; and tho consequence
ID that the world is full Of careful, in
dustrious wives nagged and hindered by
careless. fmpulsive husbands. who take to
themselves the credit of the wife's say
ings, and throw upon her the blame of
their own loose methods.
Few Of these women like to assert them
selves badly as their husbands financial
superiors-some OF them even aid him in

When a girl is IS she thinks the best
time of a woman's life must certainly be
from IS to %.
When she has passed her twenty-second
year she is decidedly of opinion that from
