SOME UNCLEANED WALKS
Places in Very Center Of City Where
Snow is Piled Up.

Some Of the people in the center Of
the city have been very slow about re-
moving the snow I'm front Of then
property and this morning there were
number Of places where the only
paths through the drifts were those
ing, and as these are narrow. when
two people meet one has to turn out
into the drift. The places where this
is particularly noticeable are in front
OF buildings IN which several families
live and in front Of vacant lots. The
tenement families evidently consider
il none Of their business TO clean the
walks and each waits for the other to
do IT. The people who own the vacant
lots are always slow about having the
walks IN front cleaned.

How Freiahts Are controIIed.

In this territory freight rates are
controlled by the Central Freight As
sociation. whose jurisdiction extends
to Buffalo and Pittsburg, and the
Trunk Line Association, whose juris-
diction extends from those cities to
the Atlantic Ocean.
The meeting which was held here
yesterday is the outcome OF a WELL
laid plan which originated with the
Eastern presidents and which was pas
sed on by them to their executive
traffic officials so that it might be per-
fected and placed before the various
lines for adoption.
If the plan is successful IN the East
it undoubtedly win be followed by the
lines south Of the Ohio River, and then
by the lines to the Pacific Ocean. II
is difficult to estimate how much the
proposed increase will bring the rail-
roads in added revenue, but the sun,
will be a large one. Traffic officials
however state that it viii not be suf-
ficent to Offset even the increased ex-
pense to the railroads occasioned by
Increased wages. and estimated at be-
tween 500 600 900 and S110.00O,0O0 annu-
ally.
In explaining the plan. prominent
officials declared that the railroads did
not purpose doing anything that was
unfair to the shippers or to the public.
On the contrary, the increases in the
minimum weights allowed I'm cars viii
be such as win result in benefit to the
entire country and viii give the rail-
roads, in effect, the use Of 20 to 30 per
cent addad confinement THE inoran 60
in equipment efficiency will be be-
sought about by an increase in size Of
the loads in freight cars.

Disfavor of Naughty Girls.

Some really pretty girls are so foolish
because they will persist in hiding their
light under a bushel," or, in other words,
slowing away their charms under cover
of a ridiculously naughty manner. When
anyone addresses girl of this type,
shrugs her shoulders and replies, Ian
guidy:
''Oh, do you think so?. don't agree at
all"
Somehow you don't feel like talking to
her any more, and you make an excuse
and get away. Yet. strange to say. she
still continues i'll the same fashion until.
one by one, her acquaintance drop away
from her. That girl doesn't seem TO I'M
derstand that it is her manner which is
causing her the loss of her best friends.
After all, il is the unaffected. simple girl
who cOnquers i'll this world III -0rrfs. who
is always ready with a bright, cheering
smile. and to whom you can confide your
most treasured secrets, being sure of re-
ceiving a whole-hearted sympathy. In
sorrow or joy, in sickness or trouble she
is ready with helping hand and cheer
full word to lessen the pain and bring
home and happiness back to the aching
heart.
Perhaps it is that the "haughty girl
believes her manner is taking Let me
correct that error before it goes any fur
Their. \ man prefers a girl with whom
be can talk naturally and easily. feeling
that she Is listening and enjoying what
he has To say, and n0r ST-'ring into the
far distance with arched eyebrows and
an expression which plainly says 10 him
Il wish You would 20 away; you are
boring me to DEATH" even if she is far
from thinking it. 1t isn't complimentary
to the man. to say the least.
Men do not in the least appreciate
girl who is merely trying to look inter
ested Appearances in this case DO not
deceive. No girl however clever. can
deceive listener into believing that she
is deeply absorbed in hearing his troubles
when actually She is totally disregarding
all he says.

When She Needs Her Mother.

| was impressed with a story | read
this week of a m0therlesS girl who was
about to marry 4 man who had been
kind To her, yet one whom she did not
love. Personally | care nothing for love
stories. though the heart yearning of the
girl for her mother in this instance is as
beautiful as it is pitiful. 1t shows the
true instinct IF every girl 10 fly to the
sheltering love of good mother when n
mother is most needed. The girl who
has no mother IS the loneliest girl in the
world. and she misses a JOY which some
girls hold lightly until too late. Every
day we read OF some tragedy in life in
which some girl has done sQlnrthing to
bring shame on her mother-sOmething
which lowers her in the estimation of her
friends. Sometimes it is an elopement
sometimes trckery and deceit. One of
the saddeSt things in life Is when girl
begins &c deceive her mother

always think of her as one who would
practice deception on anyone, for it was
fully evidenced in the deceit toward her
mother. A girl may and will make many
mistakes in life, for who lives that does
rot make them? But she will make few
er. and live a better, truer lie if she makes
her mother confidant. In the story the
girl had only the mothers picture to look
at. but she seemed TO find i'll the eyes
which looked down upon her silent
warning to wait until the right man
came along. 1t was only story bur
it was a good one. for it breathcd of
mother love and girlish confidence.

The Home-Making Instinct.

"Oh no, | am not boarding any more;
L am Housekeeping, said the Young
woman stonographer, smiling happily.
Come with me to my home"
The home was only one room -iarge
and light, however. In the windows
were blooming pot plants; on the walls
were pictures, bright cards and groups
of photographs, and in hanging shelves
and on a little table were books and
fancy articles taken from the trunk in
which they had reposed during the years
of boarding house life. The little green
