The little girl had become well ac-
quainted with automobiles long before
she had ridden in a railroad train, and
she had even attempted to help her
father steer on the family's automo'

steam cars for the first time she was
much excited and her questions fair
ly tumbled over themselves. Finally
she noticed the brakeman turning the
wheel between the two cars. She
watched him approvingly for few
minutes and then as he suddenly left
the wheel she grasped her father in
alarm.

Ether a Festive Drink in Russia,

The habit of ether drinking is eS.
tremely prevalent in some parts of
Russia, as of East Prussia, and all
the efforts of the authorities to com
bat the evil have hitherto been almost
fruitless.
An idea of the extent to which the
habit prevails may be gathered from
reports given in the Russian newspa
pers of recent accident which Oc-
cured at place called Trossno.
Ether is drunk by farmers on festive
occasions, when It appears to be con
sumed in pailfuls. A farmer celebrat-

The VALUE OF APPRECIATION.
Few Realize the Worth of Appropriate
Words of Praise.

Has It ever struck you what a sweet
ener of life lies in a few words of APP
probation and encouragement? How
few of us take the trouble to stop a
few minutes and praise a servant for
work well done, or even pause to tell
our nearest and dearest how we ap.
preciate all the daily services which
we have apparently never noticed
When our friends die we hasten to
send beautiful flowers as last appre-
citation of our love for them. But
would It not be better If We had help
ed them by a little praise when they
were working or If we had cheered
them in the dark days when they were
troubled and suffering? Only few
words Of appreciation! The cost is
nothing, but the recompense is beyond
price. Let the husband tell his wife
how much he prizes her love for him,
and the wife tell her husband how
truly she recognizes all his care for
her, and the mother should reveal In
words how much she values her chill
drens affection, while the child who
says to its mother, Thank you for all
your love to me-" has rewarded her

GLENN, BORN FIGHTER
NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR A
AS PICTURESQUE CHARACTER.
Has Become Widely Known as Result
Of War With Railroad Company
Called "Too Democratic"
by His Enemies.

New York--That Robert b. Glenn
governor of North Carolina, had the
backbone to stick through fight to

knew him down in the Tar Heel state,
Whatever his faults, dislike for fight
ing had never been one Of them.

state law limiting the passenger rate

tory at least temporary, over the rail-
road interests and the federal courts.
Glenn had fought to get the Demo
cratic nomination. for governor, In
1905; forcing the support of the party
politicians by appealing directly to
the voters IN campaign covering
every corner of North Carolina. and
then he had pressed his case against
the Republican nominee SO energeti
cally that he carried the state by its
full Democratic plurality, barely less
than 5O,OOO, although in recent years
there has been tendency toward Re.

oLp.TlME LETTER WRITERS.
Scared to Wonderful Heights In Talk
ing of Plain Facts.

Another wonderful thing about the
letter writer's, especially the female
letter writer's. of this engaging period,
is the wealth of hyperbole in which
they rioted. Nothing Is told in plain
terms. Tropes, metaphors and smiles
adorn every page, and the supreme
elegance of the language is rivaled
only by the elusiyeness of the idea,
which is lost in an eddy of words.
Marriage Is always alluded to as the
"hymenial torch" or the "hymenial
chain" or "hymenial emancipation
from parental care" When Mrs. Mon
tagu writes to Mr., Gilbert West, that
miracle of the Moral World to con
dole with his gout, she laments thai
his writing hand, first dedicated to
the MUSES., then with maturer judg-
ment consecrated to the Nymphas of
Solyma, should be led captive by the
cruel foe" If Mr.. West chanced not
to know who or what the Nymphs OF
Solyma were, he had the intelligent
pleasure of finding out. Miss Seward
describes Mrs Tighe's sprightly
charms as "Aonian inspiration added
to the cestus of Venus" and speaks
of the elderly "ladies of Langollen' as
in all but the voluptuous sense, Ar
midas OF its bowers" Dueling Is
to her "the murderous punctillC
of Luciferian honor" A Scotch
gentleman who writes verse Is "a

gentleman who sketches is "oul

Well sir, good, healthy hen--not

just hen-a good, healthy hen does not

Nature has fitted hen to do in the
way of eggs and she gives her eight
years to do it in" says writer in
Browning's Magazine.
THE first year OF her egg-produc-
ing life hen lays only 20 eggs, but in
the three succeeding years she rolls
up the score of 800 This leaves only
230 that she must give that many
cackles for in the remaining years
that she must stand on duty in that
line, and she divides the task among
those four years so that in the eighth
year she lays only 20 eggs again-the
number she started in with. Then she
