H. E. HUNTINGTON AN AM ERIcAN
BUILDER OF TODAY

AS Los Angeles pictures the expand
ing Americanism of this century, so
H. E. Huntington, the man who has
led in its promotion, is a type of the
American builder of today; and as he
has driven his electric roads through
the heart of Santa Anita ranch, so he
is everywhere in his part of the country
infusing old conditions with the new
spirit of progress.
There has been nothing of the bizarre
or spectacular about his program of
expansion. A trained railway man,
schooled by his uncle, C. P. Hunting
ton, he has swung his energy away
from the steam road, to become the
foremost promoter of the electric troll
ley as a means of developing and ex-
plotting natural resources. He has
made all the towns of Southern Cali
fornia near neighbors of Los Angeles,
and this task has been accomplished in
less than ten years First came the
purchase of existing lines, then con-
solidation and reorganization, and after
that rebuilding and new construction,
until within the city limits of Los An
geles alone there are two hundred
miles of trolley tracks. Now you can
whirl out into the country over stand
ard gauge, double-track lines operated
by automatic signal systems. at ex-
press speed.-Ralph d. Paine in The
Outing MagaZ zine

There are no between rounds" no
breathing spells, with the yellowtail.
He is fighting for his life, desperately
no quarter given nor asked, with an
amazing staying power akin to that
marvellous faculty Of the leaping tuna.
The angler Is far more likely to be the
first one exhausted, the inches of line
grudgingly granted to the pumping"
rod are earned by the sweat of his
brow and the semi-paralysls Of his
biceps.
Have I got fish or a devil?" ex-
claimed a weary Englishman, after
a half hours work with Sir Yellow
tail still gamboling at the end of 200
feet of line. And many have shared
his astonishment while catching"
these animated galvanic batteries.
That man has lived and lived in
tensely. to whose bending rod a half
dozen lusty yellowtail have capitulated
in bright forenoon. May his remain
ing history be ever so humdrum or
prosiac. that crisp encounter will il
illuminate the dullest moments.-Field

HOUSE OF COMFORT FOR WOMEN

Down on the lower west side of New
York, facing the patch of green called
Abingdon square, is a big red build
ing with the words "Trowmart Inn"
carved over the door. From it every
morning hundreds of young women go
to their work. At night they return
there to find amusement and recrea-
tion. 1t is their home and their club
1t was built by William r. H. Mar
tin, as memorial to his son. In the
course of philanthropic work he be-
came interested in the living problem
that confronts the host of unframed
young women without homes making
their way in New York.
The manager, the clerks, even the
elevator operators, are women. The
only men on the place are the engi-
neer. the fireman and the porter. Any
woman between the ages of Is and 30
years who goes out to work and whose
income is less than SIS week may
live there. The guest is required to
give reference before coming to the
inn to live, but any young woman who
wants shelter for the night, no matter
how late she applies, can get lodging
for 90 cents and no questions are
asked
The board is $5 week for one per-
son in a room and $3.50 for each when
two share 1t. Breakfast and dinner
only are served on weekdays, but on
Sundays and holidays luncheon may
be had for Is cents. Everything has
been provided to enable the girls to
live cheaply. For example there is a
free laundry where they may wash
their own clothes. They are required
to furnish only the soap. There is a
sewing room on each floor equipped
with machines which every one may
use. There is woman house physician
who cannot charge more than so cents
a visit The inn is within easy walking
distance of the big department store
district, where most Of the girls are
employed.
There is a very pleasant social life.
Mr.. Martin had a number of small re-
ception rooms built on the main floor.
Here young woman may receive her
visitors with some privacy. There is
nothing ''institutional' about the ho-
tel and no Puritanic rules are imposed.
The girls dance and play whist or
euchre. The elevators stop running at
II o'clock. The girls who come after
that time must walk up the stairs

TIMES cHANeE-lN KANSAS

The times are indeed changing and
we are changing with them. In the
old days politicians stood together. 1t
was considered virtue to stand by
your friend-whether he was good or
bad, crooked or clean. In the old days
a political debt might be paid out of
the public treasury. and If there was
law for it no one complained. In the
old days there was honor among
thieves in Kansas, and no one told
tales, and if tales were told. the peo-
pie were taught that the gods could
do no wrong. and no one believed the
tales. Less than twenty years ago the
United States marshal of Kansas lay
half a day dead drunk and half naked
in the secretary of states office, and
the whole state house and all the re-
porters in town came to look at him
and laugh. Less than twenty years
ago Kansas politicians kept their mis-
tresses on the state pay roll and 1t
was considered good morals. Less than
twenty years ago a man lost no stand
ing in Kansas politics by being known
as a railroad man in the Legislature.
Less than twenty years ago the legis-
lature adjourned drunk and disorderly
and took home its own desks and car
pets. and the writer hereof tried in
vain to get one of them. Times have
changed and we change with them.
The world is edging along. The thing
that seems all right to this generation
will seem like larceny to the next. The
world is growing better, and if you
don't grow better with 1.-THE fault is
yours-William Allen White in En-
poria Gazette.

sERMuoA's IDEAL GOVERNMENT

The Bermudans govern themselves
under a veto power which is practi-
cally never exerted. Their constitu-
tuition is almost ideal. Here is a lit
tie world of it's own, with popula-
tion of 1900 souls. The good citizens
elect their representatives to a house
of assembly and they administer the
affairs of the colony with economy
justice and success. Here. as in every
English colony. one is impressed with
the great respect for the law. Like
many Of the West Indian islands the
Bermudas have almost no crime. The
two jails at st. George and Hamilton
look like summer boarding houses, and
Charles Dudley Warner tried to be-
come a paying guest" with the jailel
at st. George, to share his pleasant
tropical home and relieve his lone
someness and ennui.-The World.

AN INHERITED MUSICAL TASTE

George Bernard Shaw, the Irish play
wright, has good deal of contempt for
scientists.
1--WE hold scientists in too high
honor,'' he wrote recently to an Ameri-
can admirer. I'VE take them too much
on faith. We believe every scientific
assertion, no matter how incredible 1t
may be.
And how Incredible. how preposter-
Gus much of this scientific talk is!
There's heredity, for instance. / have
seen books on heredity that were about
as logical as the remark of an old
woman whose daughter played the
piano.
Your daughter plays WELL lady
said to her.
Yes the old woman replied. she
does have a fine touch and it's no
wonder for she loves the piano, and
never tires of it. Ye see, she's great
taste for music, but then that's only
natural. for her grandfather had his
skull fractured with cornet at a
picfiic.'"

THE SEA WITCH

Endlessly fell her chestnut flowers.
Faint snow throughout the honeyed dark
TIE myrtle spread his boughs to drink
Deep draughts of salt from the seas
brink.
Straight shadow o'er her warded park.
From her calm coasts the galleons fed,
The fisher steered him further west.
No port was hailed, no keel came home
Across that pale enchanted foam,
But by her roof the thrushes fed
And wandering swallows found their rest
The shadows, touched her tenderly.
The red beam fingered on her dress
The white gull and the osprey knew
Her tower across the leagues OF blue
The wild swan when he sought the sea
Was laggard through her loVeliness
