THE NEW TRAFFIc ROUTES


1t Is an old maxim that lines of trade
should run north and south. rather than
east and west The products Of the
farm or factory in the temperate zone
are usually exchanged for articles pro-
duced in tropical or frigid zones.
In America, however, the ability Of
the west to produce cheap grain crops
has been so great, Gays Youths Com
panion,. that transcontinental sys-
TENS have been developed for carry
ing them to an eastern market, directly
contrary to the old maxim.
Now the principle underlying the
maxim is reasserting itself. The north
is filing up with people who are de-
manding southern products, and the
south is seeking northwestern grain
and manufactures from the vast hive
which has developed about the greaf
lakes. That hive, having supplied the
markets at the end Of its railways, has
turned to the south, where, round the

The men Of Champery are noted for
their lazy habits, and beyond acting as
guides to mountain climbers in the gum

life. The women perform all the hard
labor required Of q mountaineering peo-

on the steep and often dangerous AL

Under such circumstances, 1t is not
surprising that the women Of Cham

attire. Their costume Is Of tie Sim

Not to the swift, the race:
Not to the strong. the fight;
Not to the righteous, perfect grace;
Not to the wise. the light.
But often faltering feet
Come surest to the goal,
And they who walk in darkness meet
The sunrise of the soul
A thousand times by night
The Syrian hosts have died;
thousand times the vanquished right
Has risen glorified.
The truth the wise man sought
Was spoken by a child;
The alabaster box was brought
In trembling hands defiled.

But from the stars above;
Not from our hearts, lifes crystal stream,
But from the depths of Love.

One warm day in Hartford Mr..
Clemens, on his way home from a long
walk, felt somewhat fatigued. Sud-
denly he sat down upon a carriage
block to rest for bit, and began Wig
orously to fan himself with his hat.
There chanced to be in his immedi-
ate neighborhood at the moment the
author Of "Innocents Abroad" seated
himself, a street piano man, who soon
struck up a lively tune.
An elderly lady passing the two evil

the author was the assistant Of the
musician for she stopped and dropped
a coin in the hat Mr.. Twain had IN
his hand.
Whereupon the humorist arose a'ia'
bowling most politely, gave expression
in stately phrase to his thanks. Then
it began to dawn upon the lady that
she had made mistake. She stepped
back, and an expression Of uneasiness
came to her countenance.
