one Instance.

In the following instance the adj
vantage of being a girl was plainly
displayed:
One evening, about two weeks ago,
q man and a girl went rowing. The
sky looked threatening when they
started, but they did not really think
it would rain. In fact, they thought
little about it.
They rowed out q a singing a
little and talking a little, and paying
little need to the clouds which were
piling up in the west.
Pretty soon a breeze sprang up and
the maid became chilly. Sir Gallant
offered his coat and insisted upon her
wearing it, while he rowed energetical-
ly to keep warm.
A few minutes later a drop of rain,
seemingly about as big as a quarter,
fell. followed in quick succession by
countless other drops equally as large.
She crouched in the stern of h boat,
and he exerted every muscle to "a
the shore.
They reached the landing safely,
but not until he was pretty wet and
all of the starch had vanlghed from
her white dress. Otherwise she was
perfectly dry.

Being a Girl.

Being a girl is mighty convenient
once in a while, despite its disadvan-
tages at other times.
In a party of two it is the girl who
gets the easiest chair on the piazza
and the best seat in the carriage. In a
canoe it is her privilege to monopolize
all of the cushions If she wants to, and
even in a trolley car she is pretty sure
to receive more attention than would
ever be bestowed on the most deserving
of men.
Attention and consideration are rights
of every girl, and she who is most
sweet and womanly is the one who
gets the lions share.
The one whose manner is brusque
and who delights in waiting OIL her
self, thinking that thus she asserts
her independence will find sooner or
later that she must supply her own
wants whether or no, for those who
would have attended her have flown to
the side of the girl who knows how
to accept favors prettily nj give the
proper amount of gratitude where it is
due.
Luckily for all concerned he annish
girl is steadily going toward the back
seat.
Most of her sisters nave tired of the
play of being masculine and have as
sumed the fluffy clothes in which they
look best, and she, in spite of herself,
sees the wisdom of their action.

Regular Weekly Meeting of Board Of
Directors Held Today.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The regular weekly meeting of the
board of directors of the Ottumwa
Commercial association was held at
the Courier committee rooms today.
Reports were received from the mem
hers of the board as to subscriptions
for the proposed work of the associa-
ton for the ensuing year. These re-
ports were, in the main, satisfactory,
and each member was requested to
complete the task assigned him and re-
port at the next regular meeting of
the board at 1870 o'clock on Monday,
Jan. %.
The discussion in connection with
the reception of the reports brought
out the fact that an erroneous i'm
preston prevails in some quarters
with reference to the work which the
secretary of tie association will be
expected to do if the present plans
are carried out. 1t is not the intention
of the commercial association to dc
the work of individual freight audit
ing for the business houses Of Ottum
wa. but it is the desire Of the assoeia

gave his adhesion to the more adj
vanced school of reformers.
Was Inclined to Think Own Thoughts.
zone would not call Mr.. Scott "a
good mixer nor thale-fellcw we'll
met but on the contrary he was in
clined toward aloofness, to think his
own thoughts. AS a result his list of
personal acquaintances was not large,
and by SOME he was thought to be I'M
social. But as one who lived near
neighbor to Brother Scott for many
years. can testify that a really more
congenial and companionable man
could seldom be found. His near neigh
bors, those who came to know him
best, are the ones who can testify to
his kindly hospitality and friendliness.
His affection for his family and his
fondness of his home were beautiful in
the extreme.
Has Fathomed Mystery.
Like most men, B. w. Scott was not
perfect. He had his full share of hui
man faults and follfhs. But he pos
sessed a large store of compensating
virtues. And SO, let us say of him in
the language of the motto of our order,
The faults of our brother we write
upon the sand, his virtues upon the
tablets of love and memory Brother
Scott mas faced and fathomed the prob
lem of all the ages-death. Enshroud-
ed in a deep and impenetrable mystery,
he has vanished to the great beyond.
Whatever may be the precise form Of
our belisf all mankind throughout all
time when in the presence Of death
have refused to think that this life
ends all. Just why or how we cannot
say but we peer into eternity and con
fidently believe that there is a life for
us hereafter. This is faith. Our
brother has gone. The places that
have known him in our midst shall
know linn no more forever. Many Of
us will miss his vacant chair. Many
hearts will be sad. None more, none
half so much, as his devoted and low
ing wife and daughter Unto this be
reaved widow and to this orphaned
child we extend our heartfelt sympathy
and proffer the hand of fraternal help

ton to secure a secretary sufficiently
familiar with freight matters to point
out inequalities in freight rates that
are accorded to Ottumwa, and to as
sist the wholesalers, manufacturers
and retailers In securing for Ottumwa
as favorable freight rates as are ac-
corded other places in the state and
thus avoid the serious handicap which
unfair. excessive or inequitable freight
rates place upon any community. In
other words, the new secretary will
be expected to deal generally with the
freight rate problem for Ottumwa bus
mess men, and not specifically audit
the individual freight bills of Ottum-
wa merchants and manufacturers.
The chief work Of the association
is, of course, to be along Industrial
lines in efforts to secure new factor
les and advertise this city in all pro-
per ways as desirable point for the
location of new manufactures and

goes back of the most remote causes
of the present trouble The receipts
at these ports for November, 1906,
were 20,962,S47 bushels, nearly 4.000.-
600 below corresponding receipts in
1905
But even stretching the calculation
on anthracite coal back over the en-
tire year, the department Of commerce
and labor shows that there is an ag-
gregate loss in 1906. For the year 10
November 80, anbhracite shipments
from eastern producing regions aggre-
gated 50,S11 ,26S, falling below cores
ponding movements in 1905 by nearly
100000 tons. and below movements Of
1904 by more than 100000 tons. The
November shipments of anthracite
totalled 5,1S2,153 tons, compared with
5,421,5 in November 1905, and with
5,124,06S in 1904.
In view of these remarkable statis-
tics about the failure of the railroads
to do as well as in 1905, here are some
significant facts:
The average movement of each
freight car in the country during the
past year has not exceeded twenty-six
miles per day. This fact has been
CLEANED through the hearing in the
northwest
The Great Western road has in Chi
cago a terminal which is declared by
government attaches to have ample
capacity for all the needs of all the
roads for the next twelve or fifteen
years. And yet the other roads, with
their own terminals crowded and the
commercial interests of the country
terribly injured, decline to make use
of those facilities. The only reason
which is advanced here for this pecul.
lar condition is that the other railroad
men do not hitch with President Stick
ney.
The Great Northern is shy about 3OS
locomotives. The government agents
have learned that the road has approx
imately 900 engines. all of which are
worked to capacity in warm weather
But cold weather decreases the eff
ficiency of engines to such an extent
that in winter weather 1900 engines
are needed on that road to move the
usual amount of freight.

DES MONIES MAY
LOSE AGENCY
NO APPROPRIATION FOR IOWA
BILL IN WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-It is
possible that Des Moines will lose the
pension agency, as the appropriation
bill which was reported to the house
from the appropriations committee con-
tanned a provision for the reduction of
pension agencies from eighteen to
nine. Des Moines is enc OF those for
which no provision is made in the
bill. 1t is not believed, however, that
this bill will be passed in this form.
Through the interest of Senator ALI
son and Captain Hull Des Moines will
not be permitted to lose the agency in
all probability.
The Des Moines postmastership is
still unsettled. 1t will probably not
be disposed of for about a week, and
it may require a longer time than that.
The indications still are that the con.
test is between l. NJ. Lieser and John
Mckay. ST.. The postoffice departme nt
has not yet made its ruling as to Mr.
Mckay.
The service pension legislation as
contemplated in the McCumber bill
which has passed the senate, will prob
ably be passed by the house. A com

Roadside Trees In Hanover.

The German province of Hanover,

1867 miles of highways, on which
there are 1874 fruit trees--pear,
cherry, plum and apple-sufficien II
set out 80 to an acre to form an or.
chard Of more than 800 square miles.
The fruit raised on these trees Is a
source Of income for the province,
which sometimes makes $4,000 year
by selling the products Of this elon.
gated orchard.
The province maintains nursery Of
403 acres to supply young trees for
roadside use and for promoting the in
terests of fruit culture. The profit Of
a tree is very small, but the Hanover
people do not worry about that. Shade
is afforded in summer. the roadbed is
free from dust, the presence Of trees
retards the washing out OF the soil
from the banks into the roadside
bitches and the attractive appearance
of the roadside stimulates an interest
in tree culture and benefits the prov
ince in many other ways. They find II
worth while.
