The days work was done, and I went
down into the kitchen to have my tea
and my confidential talk with Martha.
In this last intention. however, | was
doomed to be disappointed. Her master
had entrusted her with certain commits.

for Bury. So l was left alone. AS

Behind the high, thick hedge at my
back lay the extremity Of the front gar

my meditations by the sound Of voices.
Their owners were walking in the gar

footsteps close behind me. For the Sec

Girls spend considerable time try
ing to find out how to be popular. II
is natural that girl should seek ap-
prevail and admira ton. Her popular
ity means a good time, boxes Of candy,
theaters, dances, flowers, everything
that the hearts of the young delight In.
The girl that is popular is the girl
who laughs Not the girl that SIM
pers and Fuckers or giggles, but the
girl that laughs and means 1t. The
girl that laughs can have candy and
flowers and theaters every day in the
week.
Men flock about her. They adore
her. She laughs herself straight into
the hearts Of beaux and admirers and
straight into all the good times that
girl can dream Of.
She laughs, but she is careful when
she laughs. She laughs with her
beaux, but never at them. She laughs
at what they say when they say 1t,
but never afterward. She laughs at
their Jokes, but never about them. She
never laughs at anyone's plumbers or
misfortunes.
She laughs when the beaux give her
flowers, she laughs when they give
her candy, she laughs when they take
her to the theater. Why shouldn't
she? Her laugh is her fortune. Above
all, the girl who knows how to laugh
knows when to laugh and never laughs
when she should be silent.
She merely goes through life with
her laugh ready and into many dark
corners does she fash its cheer.
Many a heart she makes glad just by
passing. Many burden she lightens
by the music of her voice.
Women forget to worry when they
hear the cheerful girls laugh. Old
men are warmed at the sound Of it.
Young men listen and follow it, pay
court to it, marry it. For it is the
laugh that keeps the heart young, the
laugh that keeps the face bright.
What man wants a wife that can
not laugh? And the boy following
the laugh Is looking for a wife. He
may not know it, but he is. And he
will find her when he finds that cheer
full, wholesome, honest, wholesouled,
healthy laugh.-Kansas City World.

Pleasant Meal Times.

Many people must have been struck
by the utter absence Of interesting
converse ton that is so marked fea-
ture of modern meals. In the olden
days all the wit and brightness of the
day seemed to be focused into the
breakfast and dinner hours, and near
~ all the celebrated stories Of brilliant
repartee that have come down to us
were delivered during a meal. But
nowadays people talk over their wor
ries and bothers at the table. look out
trains and read papers during break
fast, and if they have got anything
disa greeable to say to another mem
Der of the family, very often choose
meal time in which to say it.
Somebody once suggested that chill
dren should be trained to be bright
and cheerful during meals, just as
much as they are trained to eat prop
erly, for the one habit, like the other,
would cling to them when they grow
up and make them much sought after
companions.
Worry is very bad for the digestion,
and so is another fashion of seeing
how fast you can get through your
breakfast or lunch; certainly both
things react upon ones neighbours en-
joyment of the hours that should
bring relaxation and good humor.-

u. p Stock off Market.

1t Is predicted that In a few years
from now Union Pacific stock will
disappear from the market as a spec.
ulative commodity. 1t will be held en-.
tirely as an investment proposition.
This. It is intimated. will be brought
about by the policy 10Y being pur.
sued by the E. H. Hartman admins
tration Of putting back such a large
percentage Of earnings into the prop.
erty for permanent improvements. To
such an extent has this been done
that 1t is asserted Mr.. Hartman re-
cards dividends as the only u%nproduc-
tive expenditure a railroad makes. 1t
is stated that the Union Pacific's pro-
fits on the Northern Securities equi-
ties which 1t owns will at the lowest
estimate exceed $780, 900, 900. 1t Is re-
ported to be now willing to part with
these securities and to have already
disposed of a considerable quantity of
them on a very favorable market

Mail on Motor Trains.

Branch lines of the Union Pacific in
Kansas and Nebraska will shortly be
supplied with gasoline motor trains,
and the United States postoffice au-
thorities have taken steps to utilize
the Improvement for obtaining better
mail service. Mail cars with at least
fifteen feet of space for clerks are to
be used and a rapid service will be in.
stituted to take the place of that now
carried in mixed passenger and

Lioht From a Missouri Preacher.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
That Missouri preacher who has
discovered definitely that Satan lives
in Paris settles a question that has
long disturbed the human mind. Chi.
cago has contended that he dwelt In
New York and New York has located
him in Chicago, while other cities
have spotted" him in both. Sam
Jones once had the audacity to an
nounce that he lived in Louisville! II
the Missourian can prove that Satan
is actually on the other side Of the
Atlantic there ought to be some way
of keeping him over there. OF course,
though. if he learns of Miss Tarbell's
efforts to make John D. Rockefeller
out a wickeder person than himself.
1t Is all off. for he will want to fit
back to America to prevent his repu-
tation from being overlooked.
Woman Grade Boss.
Eastern papers state that a Mrs.
Beachman holds the contract for grad.
ing some ten miles of the new Tide
water line west of Kilby in Nanse'
mond county. Virginia. She has a
camp of her own and works a gang of
about 100 men.

When Baron Komura was a student
at the Harvard law school, In the
class OF II. his classmate and warm
friend. Baron Kaneko, urged him to
60 into society. many hospitable Bos-
ton doors being open to them. But
Komura preferred, as he said. to de-
vote his leisure to the study Of Amer.
lean character In American books,
and to observe American life outside
of conventional society. Emerson was
his favorite author. and from his
writings he adopted his motto. These
and other things that are being said
of this quiet diplomat and silent man
with keen. observing eyes" are In
teresting to know. It Is evident that
komura is going to wear well upon
closer acquaintance.

RAILROAD News

In the presence Of representatives
OF the mechanical departments of
every line innning into I'll Paso. the
first weld Of q locomotive frame by
the Goldschmldt process was made I'm
TIE G. II, shops at that place Sunday
morning. The operation was under
the supervision OF G. II, Brown. foun.
dry foreman of the G.. II. at Houston.
Although introduced to this country
barely n year ago. the Goldschmidt
process has already heen placed In
practical use on nearly every import
ant railroad In the country. It's first
use IN that city was about a month
ago, when several steel driving wheels
were welded,
The value OF the new process Is
regarded as almost inestimable. Tn.
der the old process of welding In the
blacksmith shop, a driving wheel with
a broken spoke was lost. II was good
onl! for the scrap heap. With the
Goldschmidt process 1t Is reclaimed.
With a fracture of the locomotive
frame. like that which was welded
Sunday, 1t was necessary under the
old process to break down the engine
completely, and remove the frame,
stripped OF all its parts. to the black.
smith shop. There 1t underwent the
difficult process Of welding. The en-.
tire process including stripping the
engine and rebuilding 1t. usually oc-
cIpied twelve or thirteen days. when
there wero no additional repairs to be
made on the engine. the cost approx
mately $500. The weld yesterday cost
about $50, and the entire process oc-
clpied about three DAYS. The weld
itself was made in TWENTY-FIVE sec.
Onds.
The greater part Of the process Is
occupied In making the casting box
In which the weld is made. The pro-
cess itself consists of little more than
pouring molten steel and aluminium
into the mold. the metal being at
such a high degree of heat as to fuse
perfectly with the parts of the broken
frame. making a new metal.
The casting box is made of a COM
pound of sand and fireclay, so shaped
as to give a small inlet to the frac-
ture and a larger riser. through which
the Stag and gases escape.
