WHY. WATERWAYS WILL BE


Mr.. J. ). Hill. president of the
Great Northern, says to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission that
the railroads have been attempting
to bore a three inch hole with an
inch and half augur. That the
freights of the country have in
creased in 10 years ITO per cent,
the railroad mileage and facilities
20 per cent. 1t will require the
construction of 5000 miles of rail-
road, an expenditure of $780,
600, 900 in five years. The coun-
try cannot furnish it.
Mr.. Walter Brown, Second Vice
President of the Central Railway
of New York, Gays that to provide
for the present and future needs of
the country the railroads must
spend as much as their total outlay
for the past 80 years His road

ARRANGED for the Children.

Whether the postal authorities had
the convenience of school children in
mind when putting UP letter boxes
is question 1t looks as if they had.
At any rate, most of the boxes in the
immediate vicinity of schoolhouses
are placed nearer the ground than
those at other corners. But that
handy arrangement youngsters that
would be unable to reach the usual
run of letter boxes without a liberal
dose of Alice's specific for growing
tall can, with the aid of their tiptoes
or possibly without it, mail letters as
easily as the grown-ups. Evidently
they appreciate the opportunity thus
afforded for observers who had had
time to make notes claim that two
thirds of the letters dropped into box
es at schoolhouse corners are put
there by very small children.

HOW THEY RUN.
Old Track Athlete Picks Out Men
Who Know the Game When If Rains

Old Track Athlete Picks Out Men
Who Know the Game When 1t Rains.
ga rainy day." said the one time
college track athlete, gives me a good
chance to learn whether some of the
persons who are in a hurry ever had
any scientific training in running.
Of course, among the boys and
many who can run in form, because
nowadays every school has plenty of
athletes. But many of the boys use
the exaggerated style of overstriding
and taking long jumps instead Of
strides that Enthusiastically marks the
badly taught runner.
"Others run along with little shut
fling steps, hardly getting their feet
from the ground. There are some
who get along in a stiff legged man
ner, which is far from good track
style.
1--WE seen lots of people who run
with heads pulled back and knees
thrown out, starting ort hravely at
first and finally getting SO tired by
this straining style that eventually
their strides shorten almost to moth
ing.
Then most of the unframed run,
ners do not know what to do with
their arms. mostly they spread them
out like wings and flap along. They
don't know that the arms help them,
if deity managed, when they are run
ming.
The other day I saw rather an old
man, with beard a bit gray, who was
caught in a rainstorm start off at
good clip. The swing of his hips, his
even strides and the good manage
ment of the arms +old me that here
was an old timer in the track ath.
letic game.
Il couldn't see the face, but the
body action was very familiar. It
gave me some trouble to get up along
side of him because he was pegging
right along When | did saw it was
a man who was a crack miller in his
day in the colleges. You can't mis-
take them.
ITS interesting, too, to see the diff
ferences in style. Sprinters all have
high knee action and reaching stride.
'The middle distance men have that
curious combination of styles which
partakes a little bit of the long dis
lance gait, where the men save en-
ergy by keeping their feet pretty close
to the ground at al times and not lift
ing them too high either front or rear.
Some rainy days I could pick good
track team from my Office window"

Mrs. AthertOn'S Views
Of Men and Women

Any woman can marry any man she
wants.
We have fevers for them that last
q few weeks, and then we become ma
ternal and endure them. We women
never love men as we imagine that wa
could love.
Conquests pail on a woman in seven
years. In time other things also cease
to satisfy--bo0ks, and dreams, and
sunset, and liberty. When this finishes
she will suddenly demand happiness
the real thing. Then she will love.
When clever women realize that they
are sex apart, and wait until their
first youth at least is over before Sc
tacting a. companion aniong men, then
will the world have taken its first step
towards real happiness.
/ First love is merely a sort of cur
tain raiser In marriage it may de-
velop into something worth while, but
in itself amounts to nothing--except az
material for poets.
There is sort of highly bred woman
who has all the secret fear and an
tagonism of her sex for the other, a
profound resentment of the male in
stinct for possession, and the deeper
terror that what the man may find wilt
make her life wholly his.
Life is packed with little unheard OF
dramas of the eternal duet OF sex;
nothing else keeps it going.
A woman incapable of passion is
neither more nor less than a failure.
From the beginning of time the mis-
cry of the world has been caused by
the superstition that love was all.
Love is the furious determination OF
the sex to persist.
Real happiness may lie in forgetting
that love is selfish.
If one can be happy without love.
why run the risks?
Free love and experimental matri-
mony are mere excuses for a sort OF
sensuality that is shallow and incon-
slant.
The thought Of marriage leaves some
women resentful of bondage--of the
these never marry.
Theories upon love by man past his
prime are as valueless as those of n
girl.
The happiness of women depends
upon RELOCATING love to the proper
place.
A woman in love is eagerly psyche
logical; she longs to discover once for
all her sex and herself
1t is not possible for a woman to de-
fine one mans fascination to another
man.
To be married and have ten children
has kept more women up to the correct
standard than anything else, except
poverty.
Women invariably substitute the
word misunderstood for failure to ac-
cept their point of view.-F'rom Ances-
tors (Harper's), by Gertrude Atherton.

HiuhIy Suspicious.

1T is a rule, to which good lawyers
usually adhere" says a Philadelphia
attorney, never to tell more than one
Knows. There was an instance in Eng
land, not many years ago, wherein q
lawyer carried the rule to the extreme.
"One of the agents in "A Midland re-
vision court objected to a person
whose name was on the register on the
ground that he was dead. The reVi-
sion attorney declined to accept the
assurance, however, and demanded
conclusive testimony on the point.
THE agent on the other side arose
and gave corroborative evidence as to
the decease of the man in question.

mans dead? demanded the barrister.
WELL was the reply, I don't know
It's very difficult to prove
LAS L suspected returned the bar
rister. You don't know whether he's
dead or not.
"Whereupon the witness coolly con-
tinued: I was saying, sir that l don't
know whether he is dead or not; but
l do know this, they buried him about
a month ago on suspicion "-Harper's

LONE FARMER IN AFRICA.
A German Pioneer Tells Of Chances
North of the Zambesi.

A German Pioneer Tells of Chances
North of the Zambesi.
A German farmer named H. G. Koch
has been tilling the soil for four years
about 100 miles north of the Zambesi
river in Central Africa. No other
farmer lives within fifty miles of him.
There are not twenty European
farmers in the whole of Northwest
Rhodesia, country four times as
large as the State of New York. Koch
is a pioneer.
He likes the soil and the climate
and is there to stay. His farm is as
near the equator as the north part OF
Central America, but it stands 1000
feet above the sea and the heat is less
oppressive than in many more south
ern regions.
A few weeks ago Koch talked to a
convention of farmers in Southern
Rhodesia. They were interested in
his story, for he is the first man com
petent to give valuable testimony on
the farming conditions beyond the
Zambesi.
He told them he had settled on the
surveyed line of the Cape to Cairo
railroad, for he knew he could sell his
produce when the railroad reached
him. Taking in a wagon and few
head of livestock he roamed north
ward, following the stakes OF the sur
veyors till he reached a region that
exactly suited him. There he built a
little shack and began to use the pillow
and other farming implements he had
brought in his wagon.
Koch says that the best pillow land in
the colony is a rich, deep black loan,
found in the valleys and in patches Of
from 100 to 1000 acres all through the
country. 1t grows the finest corn he
ever saw.
Then a gray sandy loan is we'll
adapted for the cultivation of tobacco,
cotton and potatoes. All crops with
proper cultivation grow splendidly.

toy wheelbarrow with which he trun-
died them to the spot where they were
to be burned He had organized the
gardeners into a miniature army and
was drilling them, making them go
through certain maneuvers while they
carted the leaves away. His father
and mother watched him laughingly
from one of the palace windows.
Once in a while stories of his play
ing the bad boy" come out and there
is a suggestion that a royal spanking
has followed each, although, of
course, they never speak of royal cor
rective measures as applied in this
fashion.
The queen was receiving recently
at one of those court affairs when
nearly every one who has right to
come into the royal presence attends.
