Runaway.

Early Tuesday morning a horse,
driven by Mr.. Wainwright Lewis,
ran away on Walnut street and came
near causing serious injury to the
driver and his friend who was with
him in the buggy. Both were
thrown from the buggy, and Lewis
head striking the pavement rendered

THE CHILDREN'S HOLIDAY.
In China New YEARS Is the Little
Ones Great Day.

Except at the Chinese New Year,
which comes in February, it is very
hard to catch a glimpse Of children
in China. Little bcggars will run
beside you for miles to earn one
"cash," a copper coin with IA square
hole in the middle Of it, worth the
twentieth of a cent, but children
who have parents to care for them
seem to be kept indoors all the time
or only allowed to play in walled
yards and gardens. We used to say
to each other: "Why, where are the
children? Haven't they got any"
But at New Years we found out
that they had. This is the great
holiday of all the year in China,
when everybody hangs out flags and
colored lanterns and sets off fire
crackers. We borrowed our custom
of frccrackers for the Fourth of
July from Chinese New Years. All
the people put on their very best
clothes and the children the best of
all, jackets and trousers of bright
blue or green or yellow or purple,
the boys and the girls so much alike
that you can only tell them apart
by their hair. The boys, of course,
is braided in pigtail, and the girls
is done nm on her head with silver
pins or, if she's very grand little
girl, with gold or jade. Thus deck
ed out the children 60 walking with
their proud papas and mammals and
often 90 to the thcater, which is ii
rare treat for them.
Perhaps Chinese children have
romping plays together, but they
always look as if they were born
grown up.--Bertha Runkle i'll st.

Too Difficult.

In Pennsylvania town where the
Friends abound prim old Quaker
spinster one day attended the mar,
riage of her granddaughter, a young
person who had in the course of
his twenty-one years received much
needed discipline at her hands.
The old lady was at her best on
this festive occasion, and at Il pause
in the wedding breakfast her young
relative looked over at her with Il
beguiling smile.
''Tell lis why thee never married,
Aunt Patience?" he said teasingly.
'That is soon told, William" said
the old Quakeress calmly. 1T was

thy wife was"

"Yes, II do care for you,' she
whispered, "more than l thought |

means to woman who has suffered

divorced my husband nearly two
years ago now. We had only been
married short time, and | was i'll,
when he went abroad and met there
a married woman who, suppose, at
tracted him. But, to cut the story
short, he-he finally ran away with
her to Paris after her husband had
been ordered out to South Africa.
She was a Mrs. Walton-oddly
enough, namesalle of yours"
Walton had turned livid. Good
Godw he cried hoarsely. "My
wife"
''Your wife!" echoed his compan-
ion. "Then-then you"- And she
sank back in her chair pale and
trembling.
"Yes," he answered thickly, ''my
wife. l was the husband of that
wrctched woman."
"Then it was not coincidence,
as l thought it was, your name be-
ing the same? / never dreamed of
this" she murmured brokenly.
Walton rose and leaned over the
rail, turning his feverish brow to
the desert, where a little breeze was
blowing from the mountains. His
mind was in a whirl, only one
thought being uppermost.
"Then you arc really lie be-
gan.
'Tady Hippesley," she replied bit
terly.
There followed a long silence,
only broken by the slow pulsing of
the engines and the ripple and eddy
of the water caused by the steam
er's wash.
At length the man reused himself,
and, fixing his eyes yearningly on
the pale face before him, he said
abruptly:
''Well, darling, and why not2 Is
there any just cause or impediment :?
Why not?'
"Why not?" she whispered dream
ily, letting her hand fall in his
Bystander.

TIE PARIS BALLET.
Severe Training That Begins When
she Danccrs Arc Children.

Severe Training That Begins When
vhc Dancers Arc Children.
Members of the ballet in the Paris
Opera House are given most thor
ough training. The sixty-four
Sleeves" better known as the rats"
are selected at the age Of eight
years. They are chosen, in the first
place, for their prettiness and in
telligence. This thins down the
number of candidates by over so
per cent. The second test is the
medical examination, only children
sound in wind and limb being ac-
cepted. Every day for an hour they
must 60 through the drill, stretching
out their legs while they hold on to
the rail fixed to the wall. They
must be able to go through all the
movements without any sign OF out
ward fatigue. The professors are
entirely dependent on moral suasion
by word and gesture. No child is
ever touched with the hands. If it
has not the gift of carrying out the
instructions by the aid of its eyes
and ears it is no good for the Paris
ballet. a dancer who must be placed
in the proper position by means Of
the teachers hands may as well
abandon the profession. She will
never be Il success. At the end Of
the second or sometimes the third
year the girls come into higher de-
partmcnt.
Here the most severe exercises are
gone through till every muscle is de-
veloped to its highest perfection.
When the pupil has gone through
this curriculum with success she is
promoted to the rank of ''coryphee."
In order to satisfy the requirements
they must know the ''iive positions.
These five positions are the alpha
and omega Of the dance, and in
them are carried out all the figures
used. When perfection has been
reached then the dancer has reached
the rank of "sujet," the highest in
the tcrpschorcan hierarchy. TO be-
come "suict" is the ambition of
every member Of the school, for the
"sujet" has the right to aspire to
everything. She can become great
star in the operate armament.
Salaries of those who reach the
rank of "premcrc danscuse" at the
Paris Opera run from $4,000 to S1O,-
600 year. But even If the 'sujet"
does not reach this giddy height she
enjoys a number of valuable priv
ileges. She is no longer condemned
to share in the common dressing
room. She, with comrade, has the
right to private room, which she
has the privilege of decorating as
the plcases. A premiere sujet"
receives a salary of from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, so that as career
the ballet in the Paris Opera is fair
ly remunerative. The work is hard,
and only girls exceptionally gifted
with intelligence, artistic sense, per- =
severance and capacity for accept d.
ing an iron discipline can succeed.

Several OF Most Prominent Are
Over 60 Years.
RIPLEY AMONG THEM.
Winchell of the Rock Island Is
the Youngest.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Nearly all of the big railroad systems
of the country are headed by men who
have passed the Osler age limit of USE
fitness, according to compilation of
the ages of the various railroad presi-
dents in the United States.
B. L. Winchell, who at the age of A.
was chosen president of the Rock Is
land system, is the stripping among the
railroad presidents while E. G. Edson
of the Kansas City Southern, has not
yet reached the half century mark.
Among those who. according to Pro-
fessor Osler, have long passed the limit
of constructive usefulness are seven of
the greatest railroad men in the coun-
try. They are: James ]. Hill, of the
Great Northern; A. j. Cassatt, of the
Pennsylvania and Edward T. jeffrey of
the Rio Grande and George j. Could S
personal railroad advisor, E. H. Harri-
man, of the Union Pacific system. es-
capes the "chloroforming' by three
years, having had his fifty-seventh
birthday on February Is last.
An odd fact brought out by the ex-
animation of these prominent railroad
mems ages is that not one of them
was born after the war of the rebel
lion. None of them is under so years of
age.
James j. Hill is the oldest of the
executives enumerated, having been
born in 1888, but his activity in North
western railroad affairs is undiminish-
ed, in spite of the "age'' theory. A. J.
Cassatt ranks second, with Sc years to
his credit and Marvin Hughitt, presi-
dent of the Chicago & Northwestern,
follows Mr.. Cassatt, being 81 years old.
E. T. jeffrey, Roswell Miller, chair
man of the st. Paul, and Thomas Low
ry, of the Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault
Ste Marie. admit G. years each. E. p.
Ripley president of the Santa Fe, is
so years old, while Samuel Spencer, of
the Southern railroad, w H. Newman,
of the New York Central, and Oscar G.
Murray, of the Baltimore & Ohio, are
So. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., who until re-
Gently headed the Wabash, is 55, and
so is Frederick D. Underwood of the
Erie.
W. Fl. Truesdale, who has been called
upon for vigorous planning and initia-
tive in reconstructing and undermining
the Lackawana, is 81 years, which is
also the age of President C. S. Mellerl
lately brought to the New Haven to
introduce up-to-date modern methods.
Stuyvesant Fish, of the Illinois Central,
is in the same rank. James NJ. Barr,
one of the highest salaried executives of
the country, having. received bonus of
up the Seaboard Air Line, is only so
years old. 3-aaG
In view of the fact that railroad
ing is regarded as a peculiarly wear
ing and exhaustive occupation. this is
a very remarkable showing. 1t has a
bearing also. on a favorite "Oslierisn"
of Industrial philosophers, some years
ago, to the effect that the day has come
when young men must be put in charge
of our great enterprises, because men
past middle life could no longer keep
up the pace.

PIGMY ROAD IN MISSOURI.
One Six Miles Long With Only Three
Employees.

One of the smallest and at the same
time queerest steam railroads in the
country is located in Missouri with ter
minals at Exeter and Cassville. It is
called the Cassville & Western railway
and is just six miles long. Exeter is a
Monet, Mo-, and the pignny road makes
connections with tie Frisco. The en-
tire equipment of the road consists OF
two small engines, two combination
passenger and baggage cars and one
freight car. On the company'S pay oil
are three men, an engineer who is his
own fireman, a brakeman, and a third,
who fills the Offices of conductor, agent
expressman and express agent. The
and is said to be a paying institution
CassvilIe is six miles east of Exeter,
the track being on downgrade the en-
tire distance. Each day the engine pulls
the two coaches up the hill to Exeter,
and, upon the arrival of the first pas
senger train on the Frisco main line,
leaves for Cassville with one coach, car
rying passengers and freight
The second coach is left at Exeter
until the arrival of a later passenger
train on the main line of the Frisco
Any passengers for Cassvil1e are placed
aboard the coach which is in charge OF
the brakeman, and the return trip made,
gravity being the motive power. The
pace is slow, owing to the frequent APP
pIication of the brakes to prevent the
car getting beyond the control of the
man in charge.
No one has ever been killed or injured
on this novel road, although the freight
car once got away from the employees
and coasted down the hill from Exeter
to Cassville, wrecking some of the ter
minal buildings.
