The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1907-04-05

Home is a woman's real sphere,
however much conditions and neces-
sites have forced her into other and
more extended ones. No true
woman is indifferent to home and
all that II means TO herself and
others. The more truly womanly
she is, the more she appreciates and
values il.
But to marry for the homes sake
is like buying picture for its frame.
or valuing the binding Of the book
above the book itself. No one can
make the home a more important
thing in married life than the man
one marries, and in no possible
case can the home satisfy one II the
husband fails. Love for the man
one marries will make a home Of an
attic or the weather-side OF hedge
row. But married life, where the
home comes first and the husband
second. or a bad third, is a hideous
travesty Of what II was meant to be.
and It can never draw anything but
a blank in the marriage lottery.
The girl who marries for a home
has provided herself for the best OF
her days with cage, which she
must halve with another being. The
girl who marries for a home is as
mistaken as the man who marries
Tor a housekeeper.
Both are oblivious OF the real
reasons for the marriage. the high
est and the best Both put the
home before the maker OF it. and
that leads to sure disappointment
and failure In the end.
Marriage can hardly be a lottery
in the case OF these people. One
would tell them so confidently be-
forehand that il will never draw
in their case but dreary
blank .-Woman's Magazine.

RAIL NEEDS OF p. II. II.
Requires 142,6OO Tons for 1908
Hast Hare Tougher Steel.

The following statement issued yesterday
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company:
Under date of May II. 1907 the Pennsylvani
Railroad Company announced that it's require
ments for steel rails in 1908 would be 1880 tons,
a somewhat lower figure than for 1907, owing TO
the fact that would be about 10000 tons left
this year.
follows United States Steel. 1850 tons; Pennsyl-
vania Steel 205D0 tons; Cambria Steel, $4,000 tons,
and IackaWanna Steel, 1880 tons
Though the Pennsylvania Railroad was the first
to use Bessemer rails. adopting them in 1864 and
has used more than any other railroad, the COM
pany has realized that the increased severity Of
service has made necessary the development of a
rail of improved quality The weight of locomotives
and cars has about 20 per cent in the last
ten years and speed has improved to about the
same extent The necessity for a stronger and
less brittle rail thoroughly discussed at
the recent meeting of the American Railway As
sociation and active steps were taken to secure
thorough cooperation with the steel mills
Owing to the absence vacations of various
members OF the committees Of representatives Of
the railroads and the steel manufacturers ap-
pointed to the specifications for steel rails
of an improved type a final agreement has not
vet been reached 1t is authortattvely denied how
ever that there is quarrel between the Penn
svlvania Railroad Company and the steel compa-
mis-
