And still the wonder Toes not cease.
Mrs. Mctzger was married four times.
Her second marriage was to the broth

union she had no children. Here are
some of the puzzles to work out:

wife the mother of the girls who are

mother of your wife and one Of your

uncle?
The boys have stopped figuring on
the puzzle saying that II they have
children the relationships will be so
mixed as to baffle decipherlng. In
spite Of It all the complication is en-
tlroly legal because there is no blood

parties.

The railroads of the United Stat,

The railroads of the United States carry more freight and more pas sengers than those of any country m the world. and they pay higher wages to their employees than any other roads in the world. They will be able to do this so long as there is no additional cost of construction. Steel and iron may come down in price, but there is one article that is sure to go up in price year by year, and that is the ties on which the rails are laid It is es- timated that the number of cross ties laid down on all the roads of the coun- try is about 620,OOO,0OO. and that from W,Om.009 to 11O,0OO,OO0 are required annually for renewals. That means that the wood is cut from about 900 GOO acres every year to keep the roads in repair. The Pennsylvania system east of PittSbITg and Erie requires about 3.1oo,OO0 annually. for repairs alone. and about JO0.OO0 in new work. Last year that system planted about 2s0.o0 yellow lofust trees; this year ii expects 10 set out S00.o0O more. 2oO.- 0o0 in the spring and 6G0.O00 in th {. fall. But that will 20 but small WAY to meet its wants. Ii requires about :;o years for a yellow locust to mature and cut three ties to tree. for ac- cording tO the estimates of the road it will require continuous growth of :;9. o0o.O1 trees. 1.3goeO0 to be planted each year to meet the needs of the road These trees would cover about 9I.:0o acres Of ground. allowing Ja0 trees 10 every acre.

Of the benefits and advantages aris-
 ing out of properly directed advertis.
 ing there is not particle of doubt. But 1t should be done in the proper way. An example of improper advertising came to light In a Philadelphia magistrates < office on last Monday. A man keeping cigar store robbed it of several thou
 sand cigars and n small sun of ,morley and then reported the ease, to the police. A full investigation led to the arrest of the owner as the thief. The man finally admitted that lie was the culprit. and that he had committed the robbery. He explained that business was dull and he thought the publication of the rob bery story in the newspapers would give the firm some good advertising. He said he was very sorry for what he had done, and declared that he had Just been confirmed in church and had de- cided to reform. He was held in Sl, 100 bail for trial. Original advertising methods should he encOura ged. but they must be honest as well as original.

The high building microbe, which has been productive of such wonderful re- suits in this country, has struck Ger many, but doesn't find the conditions there so favorable to it's operations as in many of the cities of the sUnited States. We are somewhat surprised that our skyscrapers should be regard cd anywhere abroad as objects of envy; but it is probably explained by the fact that they are product of the restless commercial spirit which is by no means confined to this great republic. Some time ago the Central Association of German Industries addressed the min iStry of the interior q memorial, asking relaxing of the present laws govern ing the construction of buildings in Berlin. which limit the height from pavement to cornice to P IS feet, so that steelframed buildings of much greater altitude might be erected.

EXPERT ADVICE ON MARRIAGE.

Dorothy Russell, the fair.daughter of well equipped to give valuable advice to girls about to marry"-if there is anything in heredity and if wisdom can be drawn from an unhappy expert ence. Her advice to girls, given in st. Louis, after leaving her husband, is this:
 Don't elope and don't marry until you're sure in your heart that you love him. Don't marry young. l believe d girl is young until she is 25. She should not marry until she's had q chance to learn something of human nature. Don't be so eager to marry that you pick up the first man you see. thought I was doing something smart when I eloped. I thought l could show mamma and my friends that could be real married lady. There's nothing to that system"
 Incidentally Mrs. Einstein observes that it is better for girls to marry somebody of their own religion. Re !igious differences cause arguments and arguments lead to Quarrels." All this seems sensible-particularly the warning against marrying too young and eloping. What girl of IS knows her own mind and nature-not to men, ton human nature as incarnated in that hundred-sided creature, many Let Us hope that DOrOthy's conclusion is not 50 true: But it's no llse to advise girls.

Either horn of the dilem. ma is sufficient to give the republicans a bad half hour. What Roosevelt thinks of the situation is not known, as he has made no comment, publicly, at least; but this much is clear, and that is that Garfield is being groomed for the Presidential nomination in 1908, and the fact that Roosevelt continues him in his position and coWntenance his presidential aspirations is sufficient proof of the fact that President Roose- welt is satisfied that if there was any beef trust" or that the great packers were making excessive profits, Mir Garfield would have acertained the same in the course of his investigation, and that, as he reported to the cou- trary, that report is to be accepted by the president and the people of the country as final.

ARE OYAMA AND OKU IRISHs

Ct. Patrick Banquet Orator Says Jap
 anese Generals Are Sons of Erin.
 New light upon Japanese history was cast at the St. Patrick's banquet of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Logansport. Ind, the other night, when o. P. Smith, state labor organizer, de- clared that the Japanese generals, Oya- ma and Oku, were descendants of Irishmen and still bore the original Irish names of the families slightly modified, says Logansport dispatch.
 '.Oyama is of Irish ancestry" said Smith, and his name as originally borne by his forbears was O'Yama. The original Patrick O'Yama left Ire land during the Elizabethian era for France. He was shipwrecked and res- cued by a Spanish ship bound for the Philippines, where he was taken and cast adrift. His descendants went to Japan and turned to the career of fight ing men.
 General Oku's name originally was O'Keough, who, though a military genius, could not spell well. The rigors of the Japanese alphabet proved too great for him. but by imperial edict he cut out few letters. Thus the family became Oku.''
