affairs of some novel-built, carna-
tion-cream heroine, or scolds at
her younger brothers and sisters
who dare to interrupt her dicbles
and trills at the piano.
What young man, meeting her, a
springhtly, French-heeled, feather
boa-draped girl, down town in the
afternoon, or the sparkling, daint-
lily gowned grace in the evening,
could have a vision of himself hur-
rying out to a restaurant break
fast every morning IL he married
her? How could he foresee an
other restaurant dose of half-and-
half with piece of pie at midday,
so that he can afford to get the
matinee ticket which she must
have. and to cap all, the message
he gets when he takes down the re-
ceiver at five, 'I'll meet you, dear,
and Wen go to restaurant for
dinner for l just can't cook when
I'm dressed up?
The woman who has to earn her

librarian of a large public library,

position to marry"
Business men everywhere echo
the same sentiment. And the bust
ness woman makes the best kind
of wife, for, accustomed to reach
ing the office, or the school room,
or the factory, between Z and s in
the morning, she is not the wife to
finish a dream while her husband
goes to a restaurant breakfast. She
has the getting-up habit. She is
as neatly dressed to receive call
er at 10 a. m. in her home as she
was to take a dictation or wait on
a customer. Again little matter
of habit.
And when her husband comes
home tired out after day of petty
annoyances or series of things
gone wrong, she does not fly into
rage because he forgot the gloves

PAT ON
COAL RAID

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, Jan.
10.-Claiming that not half of the
1000 or more tons of coal confis-
Gated in this city from TRANS held
up have not been paid for, the
Northern Pacific is Threatening to
sue the city and county Railroad
officials allege that no effort was
made by the officers to protect the
company's property when called
upon to do SO. This is not dis
puted. The officers did not inter-
fere until dark, when they stopped
any further removal of coal until
morning. They had been advised
on the course to pursue and there
is little fear of losing litigation on
any showing the company can
make.
The raid has had a most bene-
fetal effect in opening the eyes of
the Northern Pacific offlcials to
what is likely to happen if the cry,
for coal Is longer disregarded.
There is a good supply of fuel in
town and another train of coal is
expected to arrive shortly. The
company is anxious to avoid any
further confiscation and the no
toriety resulting from inability to
haul fuel.
A train of II cars of coal was de-
livered in this city yesterday after
the raid and turned over to a local
fuel company. AS a consequence

THAT SPOKANE
BID FOR BIG,
JEFF

Harry Green somehow or other
always gets into print when a prop
osition to pull off a fight hobs up.
This time they have Green offer
ing a purse of $4,000 for James j.
Jeffries, undefeated champion
heavyweight, to meet Mr.. Squires.
a dub from Australia who has
plenty of avoirdupois and that's all.
The inside history of that PROPOSE
tion is this: j. c. White, F. c.
Robertson and John Condron are
back of the proposition. All are
progressive members of the 10000
club, chamber of commerce and
Boosters club, having an eye to ad'
vertising Spokane, and the other
day they met in Robertson's office
and talked over the proposition OF
Offering a purse Of $4,000 for the
big fellows to fight.
Mr.. White is an old sporting
rival of Tex" Richards, the Gold
field, New, promoter In the olden
days "Tex" and White bucked
each other. "Tex's" late prom
inence, gained through his promo
ton of the Gans-Nelson fight,
kindled the spirit of rivalry in
Whites breast and it was decided
to offer a better purse than the Ne
vada promoters put up to adver.
tise Spokane in more ways than
one. Nothing was said, however,
of putting up the money. 1t was
merely an "offer."
Jack Kearns, manager of the EN-
pire State Athletic club, was sent
for and gave as his opinion that the
proposition would go through and
should not stop at an offer, but

DTbOooELO, Jan. lU.-BelSlum,
which is somewhat smaller than
Maryland, operates 1900 miles of
railways, which in 1904, the latest
year for which statistics are pub
lished, made a net profit for the
government of about $4,10O000.
The railways are operated purely
as an industrial concern, intended
to earn money, and are not exploit
ed to confer unusual benefits on the
public. Yet the rates charged are
as low as in Germany $40 cents
mile for first class, 2 cents for
second class and l 1-5 cents for
third class. Besides this, special
tickets are issued allowing pas
senger to travel anywhere in the
country within certain time, max
ing as many journeys as is desired.
A ticket of this kind available for
five days costs for the three class
es, respectively, S6.15, $4.10 and
1925; while for year the cost is
$197. 1881, SIS. These "abonne-
ments," as they are called, are en-
ormously popular, almost every
body in the country using them.
Very often it is cheaper to buy an
Announcement" than all excursion
ticket.
The gross returns of the Belgian
railways in 1904 were 1851 .548,
of which $27,677 AGA went in work
ing expenses, $13,74S,560 was ap-
piled to debt redemption and the
rest went into the state treasury
as profit.
There are 10000 railway en-
ployes, of whom $500 are women,
who work as gatekeepers, ticket
collectors, cleaners and steward
esses. The highest salaries paid
are $2,640, which are received by
the general administrator and the
counsellor of the lines. Other
wages are: $4,000 for general in
spector; $1,400 for chief of di-
vision; $640 for conductors, S432
for engineers. S242 for watchmen.
For entry to all railway posts,
save those of workmen, there Is an
examination, which is made easy
| for eX-soldiers. Conductors pass an
examination in French or Flemish
language. spelling, elementary
arithmetic, geography of Belgium,
and writing. To increase their
chances candidates can compete, if
they wish, in administrative organi-
cation, English language, German
/ language.
For the employment of chief of
section, candidates, who must be
holders of a certificate Of special
study in science, physics and math-
ematics, are examined in geometry,
descriptive and design, elements of
physics and general chemistry and
mechanics, construction of civil en-
cheering, topography and civil ar
chitecture. New members under
go besides an examination in Ger
man or English.
The principal objection to the
Belgian railway administration is
the insufficiency Of rolling stock,
which is due to the all-absorbing
desire for economy. The trains are
usually too crowded to be comfort
able and there are continual delays
in freight deliveries. Otherwise the
railways are successfully man.
