The following item, with some
variations, has been going the
rounds of the Louisiana Press for
several months. Isn't it about
time that those motor cars should
materialize :?
"By Jan. l it is very probable
that several of the branch lines
of the Southern Pacific in both
Louisiana and Texas will be
equipped with the new gasoline
motor engines. The Houma
branch will probably be the first
to be so equipped. AS soon as as
these engines are ready they will
be given thorough test, and If
everything about them prove to
be satisfactory they will be iu-
troduced over the entire system.
The introduction of these engines
will mean better train service for
a number of the towns on the
branches, as it will be possible to
put in a number Of additional
trains under the new system. .

THAT OLD SWEETHEART
OF YOURS.
If Fate Has Kept You Far Apart Shun Meeting
Him and Cherish Youthful Illusion.
BY DOROTHY Kenmore.

F YOU wish to cherish as romantic
figure that old sweetheart of yours,
whom you would have married nad
] some circumstance been other tnan
1t actually was, you had better not
spoil your early impression of his over
powering personality by less fiatter-
ing later view, if fate has been kind
to both of you, and kept you far apart.
Shun renewal of the old acquaint-
ance, and store away your fancy pic
ture of him in the lavender Of senti-
mental memory. appreciating as an
added charm the golden luster it has
gained beneath the yellowish touch OF
time. Otherwise you may lose some
thing that is dearer to you than
possessing it potentially-you now
know. the last ecstatic hutter OF which
your weather-beaten heart is capable
and make your life poorer by wealth
Of sweet illusions gone.
For the years are so outrageously
hard on our old sweethearts. And 1t is
a narrowing experience to find that the
hero of our youth, who has been DOM
mating our tender recollection as an
Adonis. has grown stout and bald
heaQeO, ana mas game leg ITOI1 lHo
gout. 1t Is mortifying to find him
whom we have been saluting mentally
as a prince of conversationalists az
witty as gallant, as appreciattve as
sincere, nothing more or less than a
commonplace purveyor Of cold-storage
compliments, which, to be edible, must
first be thawed out by the sunshine Of
our smile.
But neither OF these disappointments
can compare with that hollowness Of
spirit which you endure when you
meet the woman whom your old sweet
heart married. Can 1T be that you are
like her in any way-that he should
have been attracted to you both? The
fact that she is as much too fat as
you are too thin Is slippery consola-
ton after your first flush of self-con-
graduation that you are not as some
other women of thirty are, but are still
1.-THE svelte, and eighteen inches
round, for avoirdupois, more or less, Is
not a test of personal magnetism. And
the fact that she is regarded by her
neighbors and the members of her
church as the salt of the EARTH does
not win your commendation, since you,
yourself. have never felt a hankering

THE DUKE SCORED.

An English nobleman was once
present alta church service when col
lection was announced for some charit-
able object.
The plate began to go round. and the
duke carefully put his hand into his
pocket and took out form. which he
laid on the edge of the pew-desk before
him ready to be transferred to the
plate.
Beside him sat a little snob, who.
Noticing this action, initiated 1t by
cstentatiously laying sovereign along
side the ducal form.
This was too much for his Grace,
Who dipped his hand into his pocket
again and pulled out another form,
which he laid by the side of the first
The little snob followed suit by laying
another sovereign beside the first.
His Grace quickly added a third
form, which was capped by a third
sovereign on the part of the little snob.
Out came a fourth form to swell the
dukes donation, and then the little
snob triumphantly laid three sovereigns
at once upon the board.
The duke. not to be beaten, produced
three forms.
Just at that moment the plate ar
ri'yed. The little snob took up his
handful of sovereigns, ostentatiously
ratified them into the plate. and then
turned defiantly toward his rival as IL
he would say, II think that takes the
shine out of you"
The duke. with grim smile, put one
dorin into the plate, and quietly swept
the remaining six back into his pocket.

WHY DOES 4 WOMAN WORRY?

Woman is not only a spendthrift at
the bargain counter but she is
spendthrift of strength. She makes the
most ruinous overdrafts on her nerves
vitality, and endurance. Few of us live
the sort of lives that keep US youthful
and buoyant. 1t is either a matter of
extreme idleness or extreme activity.
There seems no medium, balance or
between condition, says a writer in the
New York Globe.
DIR. Helen Densmore says: ''It seems
The San Francisco call., 1905-03-13

to me plain that the more physiologi-
cally we live the more perfectly we
build this material temple, the more
easily the spirit can shine through, re-
vealing its nature which is always the
same"
One often hears a woman make the
statement that she worries because she
is i'll. 1t is more often the case that
she is i'll because she worries. There
is close communication between mind
and body. A sulking disposition takes
The San Francisco call., 1905-03-13

away every line and semblance of
youth Do you know why? Because
the fretful mentality telephones its
unrestful condition to the sensitive
nerves of the stomach. and these nerves
sulk in sympathy. The appetite fails.
The stomach, which is the furnace of
the body, receives no fuel and, in
course of time, the woman is more or
less of a physical wreck. There are
plenty of women of sixty years of age
who are younger and happier than the
winners of thirty.
