Where Marriage Pays.

Married people have the best of it

Some of these lone travellers, to
secure privacy, pay the extra fare
Others-many, many others-try to

Baggage in Guatemala.


1.-THE railroads of the United States
are very particular as to what they
will accept for transportation as bag
gage" remarked Karl E. Kneiss, but
down in Guatemala the railroads are
rot so particular.
while l was down there some
time ago 1 made a list of different
articles of merchandise that l saw
checked as baggage on the Western
Guatemala at the town of Retalhuleu.
Here it is: One cage of chickens, a
basket of ducks, bundle of dried fish
a crate of live iguanas, various empty
baskets, crate of fighting cocks,
baskets of eggs, baskets of fruit, sill
yer in sacks, bundle of soiled clothes
that some woman was taking down
to the river to wash, furniture, hides
in packages, smoked crabs that smell
ed to the next station, baskets of
bread, small alligator and two live
pigs
''All of that miscellaneous mer-
chandise and farm product was hand
led in one car along with the personal
baggage of passengers, as a result of
which custom a traveller soon finds
himself saturated with the complex
odors of the country.''-San Francisco

Every morning before the wheels
and shuttles of big slipper company
at Worcester, Mass, are set in motion
a ha1f-hour prayer service is cOnduc-
ted by the owner of the factory, j.
Prescott Grosvenor. While the ma
chinery of the neighboring plants is
whirring and clanking, the strains of
q hymn may be heard coming from
this big brick building. There is
brief scripture reading, prayer, an
ether hymn, and then the signal is
given, the steam is turned on, and
the confusing roar of big shoe fac
tory takes the place of the Sabbath
calm. Mr.. Grosvenor has a small
chapel in the factory, which he has
named the Pauline Memorial Chapel,
and here the services take place.
Attendance is not compulsory, but a
goodly proportion of the $50 employees
are present.
Religion says Mr.. Grosvenor, is
inseparable from every part of a
mans life. There is no reason why
a man should go to church on Sunday,
and try to deceive in his business deal

Mr. Grosvenor has been in business
in Worcester for twenty-one years.
His factory has grown from one
with an output of 100 pairs of slippers
a day to one with 5000 pairs. He is
of medium height, and looks about

are gray, and he always dresses in

yesterday, took pace from the resi-

of other friends and acquaintance.
Thirty-five years ago Mrs. Davis, her
husband and two children came to this
valley. They settled on the spot where
Mrs. Davis died. which was in the heart
of an orchard, but now is the center of
the business section.
Mrs. Davis was known as the first

as far as San Francisco to secure the
latest styles from New York. Her hus-
band died eight years ago. The estate
is of considerable value.

LIFTS ST. LOUIS SUNDAY LID
Racing and Summer Gardens May Re-
sumo Outside City Limits


BY Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.--The decision of
the supreme court yesterday that the
police of the. city Of st, Louis has no
authority to act in the county outside
the confines of the city has occasioned
much speculative comment in racing
and liquor circles.
Rumors are in circulation that an at
tempt will be made to open race tracks
this summer and likewise the Sunday
lid" may be lifted in the summer gar
dens in st. louis county.
The police board is cited to show
cause tomorrow why it should not be
permanently enjoined from trying Chief
of Police Mathew NJ Kelly.
Before the proceedings had been
stopped an affidavit signed by Col.
Kiely was offered to the board set
ting forth the allegation that Vice
President Andrew c. Maroney Of the
board was violently prejudiced against
the defendant, that he was a personal
and political enemy and that it would
be impossible for the defendant to re-
ceive a fair trial before Commissioner
Maroney and therefore it was asked
that Maroney be not allowed to sit with
the board in the case. The court over
ruled the request.
