SAINT. fe cr..,e. new Position

With 4 view 10 promoting better
passenger service and also to getting
close TO the people and their trans
portation wants. several of the rail-
roads in the west have created new
position. The incumbent really has
no title. and the various vice presi-
dents call hun what they please.
One western vice president calls his
new official "the general public"
1t is the sole duty of "the general
public" TO travel over his own road
and the roads Of his competitors and
take observations relative to the SER
vice, the way the trains are handled
and how the public is treated. He
is in no sense of the word a spot
ter" but he is the man who tells the
management how the public is ham
died on his particular road and on
other roads. and who draws compar-
isons regarding the service furnished
by the different lines.
The general public" is expected
to travel in the day coaches and to
buy his ticket at the stations where
he gets on trains, In doing SO he
notes how the station agents handle
the public in selling tickets and Civ
ing the information which travellers
desire regarding time. connections
and other matters. sees how the
train is handled at stations and what
can be done to facilitate its running.

Kenny Woods Battle.

Kenny Woods has returned from
California where he recently fought
ten round go with Frank Fields,
winning the bout in the last round
on foul Kenny says he was not
in condition, only training one short
week for the battle. besides having
badly bunged up right arm. which
was injured down on the farm"
while training with Bob Watkins.
He says if he had been O X he would
have disposed of his man in less than
three rounds. The Los Angeles
Evening Times. in giving m account
of Kenny's battle. says:
Kenny Woods, of Colorado, was
a surprise in the good showing he
made against Frank Fields. the in
evitable result of a fight TO the limit
being y decision for Woods. Fields
attempted to make a whirlwind fin
ish to even the score and twice
fouled Woods in the final round.
When Referee Walsh stopped the
fight after the second foul. Fields
refused to accept the decision and
fought the referee to free himself
that he might continue the battle,
Walsh pulled away from Fields and
raised Woods hand in token of VIC
tory. The fans cheered the decision
and the victor and hooted Fields for
his impetuosity."
As soon as he is in first class trim
Kenny expects to return to Los An
geles. where he has been promised q
bout with Rube Smith. the blonde
haired pugiiistic star. Fields de-
feated the blonde pug several wears
ago in three rounds.

the home of Mrs. c. w. Bomgard-
ner, on Belleview avenue. the Fort
nightly Club held all same. la
Carnival. The ladies had notice to
come masqued and gowned in Fools
Days style" and it was scene new

which was presented to view. There
was the college graduate. Grandma.
automobiiist, Quaker, nurse, Martha
Washington. queen court fool,
school girl. dude, old lady. and
faithful son Ike, clowns galore. and
many others too numerous to men,

one gorgeous affair.
The program consisted of bur-
lesque reports from the officers.
Mrs. Walsh read the secretary's re-
port: Miss Gwyn the program COM
mittee's report; Mrs. Hasten the re-
port of the treasurer; Mrs. McCauley
the corresponding secretary's report.
Each gave an elaborate account of

the paper, which was full Of good
reading material. witty sayings.

published in the ordinary everyday
newspaper would set the world in
motion. all SAME topsy turvey style.
but all present understood that it
vas all fun. and hearty laugh was
the result of the jokes on the other
fellow" and was thoroughly en-
joyed by all present.
The afternoon was one of tho most
jolly of the club year, when all work
and ceaseless toll of the club life
was temporarily suspended and the
usually sedate club ladies were
swept into paroxysm of fun and
frivolty scarcely equalled by those
of more tender years.
Roll call was responded to by puns.
Refreshments were served and
club adjourned to meet in two weeks
at the home Of Mrs. F. A. Sabin. on
! Colorado avenue.

as he peered through the curtains, every
word uttered by the party below was dis
tinctly audible. Look here, Harriet,
what on earth am l to do? Madame
Roupell is coming to see how you are.
In minute she will be here"
Harriet's cheeks blanched for mo-
ment, for from zher station near the door
of the chamber she could already hear
Nine. Roupelps footsteps ascending the
stairs. 4
"Come h-re," she cried to Van Lith,
frantically. There is no one sleeping in
your old room. Run across the hall
quickly, and hide yourself there until l
call you. I will lock you in, SO my
aunt will have to go the other way. You
must return through her sitting room to
the corridor. You can do it easily, for
she is a sound sleeper
Van Lith did as he was directed. Har-
riet had barely time to turn the key on
him, return to her chamber. seat herself
and snatch up book, when her aunt's
footsteps were heard in the corridor, and
a moment later the old lady entered the
apartment.
Awake yet, my dear child? Can't you
sleep? Oh! You are thinking Of that
young scamp, I'm afraid. Well, l
wouldn't if / were you. He isn't worth
it. Besides, if you don't 60 to bed earlier
where will the roses go to-"
She stopped and kissed her niece ten
derby on both cheeks, and then went to
the window.
II mustn't keep the horses out all
night. Jean! JEAN
The coachman turned on the box and
looked up at the window.
You can go to the stables. Monsieur
Chabot will not return to the city to-
night"
Nine. Roupell closed the window again
and came back to where her niece was
sitting.
Monsieur Chabot sleeps here to-
night?" inquired Harriet, in a tone of
apparent unconcern, while her heart was
really beating violently. Where will
you put him, aunty?"
Cant he have Monsieur Van Lith's
old room, dear?"
"Not very we'll. But the chamber of
your own is ready, and the sheets are
AIRED
very we'll, child, then 1 will give d.
rections that he be lodged there. And
now goodnight. Don't sit up reading
but try to Sleep"
Nine. Roupell turned and left the
apartment. 1t was the last benediction
that was to fall from the lips of Harriet
Weldon's benefactress; for the shadow
of an awful crime was even then lowering
over the chateau.

A Plague of Clocks.

We had been settled but little
while in our Indian clearing, and had
just acquired deed to it bearing the
signature Of Andrew Jackson, says
Joaquin" II. Miller in the Boston
Transcript, when one day a big, raw
boned, hatchet-faced man in a beaver
hat come to us by way of the State
road, with load of clocks in a car
riage. He had big, impertinent boy
with him, and pleaded sadly that both
of them were sick.
Mother was very good to them, pull
ed out the trundle-bed to the middle
of the floor, had us children sleep at
the foot of her bed, and treated the
strangers as if they had been her own
blood. But they both walled and moan
ed bitterly, and begged father to take
the clocks and dispose Of them at his
leisure to his neighbors.
There was a whole carriage load of
them, but upon the reiterated assur-
ance that he could double, and even
treble, his money, our confiding faith
err, not knowing one thing about the
real price or value of such wares,
signed a note and became merchant"
At the end of the year that Ratchet
faced man came back and exacted his
money with enormous interest, al
though father had not yet sold single
clock.
Years later, when we set out to
cross the great plains, those old clocks,
with but a single one missing, took up
more than half the wagon space. We
hauled them from Indiana almost to
the top of the Rocky Mountains, and
then, one night, in a terrific snow
storm, when the wagon had upset, we
found use for them. Brass, wood,
glass and varnish all went to feed a
fire. And so peace to their sounding
brass, rest to their brazen faces!

PROSPERITY IN EGYPT.
Building Operations In Progress in
Many Parts of Cairo.

Building Operations In Progress in
Many Parts of Cairo.
The charming residential town Of
Cairo Of ten years ago found disfig-
ured by huge blocks Of buildings five
stories high; enormous hotels built and
building; where was then park is now
studded with villas; tramways every
where, even out to Cheops pyramid !;
motors careering along followed by
clouds of dust and heralded by the
deafening sounds of horn or boot, says
writer in Blackwood's Magazine. All
the constructions are higgledy -piggledy,
without line or order. Huge ungainly
blocks alongside Of unpretentious resi-
dences; buildings being torn down or
foundations being laid. The conversa-
tons overheard were mostly of the
price Of plots of land, or the rise or
fall Of shares or of companies foated
or being 1oated, or of people who had
become millionaires or expected to be-
come such.
One realized at once that one was
among community intoxicated with
success, in the feverish excitement Of
speculation. The luxurious hotel, OPEN
ed only some seven years before, was,
while I was staying in it, sold to a
company for f45O.OOO. It's proprietor
(the seller), reputed to be million
aire, is laying the foundations for a
still grander hotel on a site which was
once princes palace.
Two Observation-Disclosures transactions
will give a fair conception of the enor-
nous rise in the value of property in
the best part of Cairo. A small villa
erected some twelve years ago, at a
cost of about $4,000 found a purchaser
recently at $4,000. A property pur-
chased for f17,OOO eight years ago was
being treated for while was in Cairo
at f15O,OOO In fact, it Is no exaggera-
ton to say that property in what was
the residential part Of Cairo has in
creased In value during the last five
or six years eightfold to tenfold. The
price Of land there may be said to vary
from f46 to ESQ per square meter
(3.1 yards), equal to the value Of land
in the crowded parts of the city Of Lon
don.
In Alexandria a nearly similar appre-
citation in the value of town lands has
taken place. Lands toward Gabari,
which a few years ago were only of a
nominal and prospective value, have
recently changed hands at fabulous
rates. The site of the Victoria Col
lege, bought about ten years ago for
f1.3OO, was sold at the beginning of
this year for 100000.
