But these facts of public record do

The thousands of incandescent lights

asphalt is in deplorable condition in
long stretches, making it dangerous

have been made and will soon be

road to the same place. Even the
fast through expresses do not make
the time it does. But that is not it's
central point of interest.
Leaving Hoboken at LOS p. m, it
carries daily but three cars, that are,
as a rule, absolutely empty in the
passenger sense, and, as it makes no
stops to take up others, it is, of
course, a losing train, making no
money for it's operating company, but
preserving in peculiar way the de-
mand of an interested clientele. A
casual and lonely traveller upon it,
noting it's quality, asked its equally
lonely conductor why it was main
tanned. He said it was right enough
while the McCurdys lived at Morris
Plains, but since they had left there
was no reason for it's continuance, ex-
cept that it carried train crew up to
Morris Plains to return on an accom-
mediation. 1t is the peculiar illustra-
ton of what scientists call the reten-
ton of the original principle.

fight. Little girls, they point out, for
merly got their first lessons in sew
ing through the natural desire to pro-
vide their dolls with pretty clothes.
The Teddy bear, however, does not
wear clothes, save possibly ribbon
or sweater or cap, and so the up-to-
date child who has discarded her
dollies for the intrusive bruin, has no
incentive to learn to stitch and make
button holes.
The Teddy bear is not good for lit
tie girls" said Miss Jane G. Close, a
supervisory teacher of sewing in the
New York schools. The bear is
keeping the children from the pleas
ure of caring for a doll. He can't
wear pretty frocks and dainty under
wear, and the little girl who has him
for pet gets no incentive to make
these things. Hence she loses the
education involved in dainty gar
ments. The Teddy bear is all right
for boys, but not for girls"

"McCURDY TRAIN" STILL
RUNS TO MORRIS PLAINS

DURING the peculiar eminerce that
~ the family of McCurdy, of insur-
ance fame, built up, the Delaware &
Lackawanna railroad paid tribute.
The McCurdy family lived at Morris
Plains, which is the next station on
the line of the railway named beyond
Morristown. The D., L. & w. ran
reasonably frequent trains as ey
presses to Morristown, several of
them without stop from Hoboken to
the old capital of Morris county ip the
evening and an equal number in the
morning hours from Morristown to
Hoboken.
About four years ago the McCurdys
applied to the railway company for
an express to leave Hoboken at an
hour when commuters could have lit
tie use for it, and that train was sup
piled. 1t leaves New York at 1880,
runs to Summit without stop, and is
due at Morris Plains at two p. m. Its
schedule time is about Is minutes
faster than any other fast train on the

THE hundred thousand Teddy bears
in the metropolis are on the verge
of panic. Though the nature-faking
controversy left them unscathed,
newer and greater peril confronts
them. School teachers are declaring
that the Teddy bear is a menace and
must be abolished, ana though the
board of education has taken no Of
fetal action in the matter, and is not
likely to, the agitation against the
Teddies in educational circles is
growing very strong indeed.
The crusade against the Teddy bear
started recently, when clerical gen
tleman came out with the statement
that in replacing the doll, the bear
was pernicious substitute. For,
while the doll appealed to all the ma
ternal instincts of little girl and de-
veloped them along healthy and nat
ural lines, the Teddy bear did no such
thing.

AS the BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict of Au-
thority Was Vital.

In one of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original, for
in voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modification:

Suddenly there was a crash within.
Mr.. Hobbs rushed into the house His

odor of lilac filled the room. The win

"Oh, you ought to have seen him

gun of mine scared him more than he
did me-"
Miss Hobbs then told her father
that on entering the room she had dis
covered the burglar. She took the
atomizer from a bureau and turned
the stream of perfume on the intruder.
He jumped through the window.
The same burglar is believed to
have robbed several houses in the
same neighborhood of small sums.

HoUsEkEEPERs FORM UNION.
Will Resist Exorbitant Demands of
Servant Girls and Fix Wage Scale.

New York-To resist what they re.
gard as the exorbitant demands Of
house servants, the women of Norris
town, 81. j., are planning to organize
a Housekeepers' Protective union and
a meeting for organization will shortly
be held. 1t is proposed that the women
shall each promise not to pay more
than a certain price for certain classes
of servants, In this way it is hoped
either to drive out the high-priced
servants or to make them agree to a
new scale of wages.
"The servant question" one woman
deeply interested said, is now one
that brings no good to any one ex-
cept the intelligence Office and the
undertaken. 1t is emptying our
pockets, breaking up our homes and
making our lives such a burden that
it is breaking down strong women.
THE servant problem must either
be solved so that people in ordinary
circumstances can employ them or
else we will become a people abso-
lCtely without home life."
The women say that in 1901 wait
resses received SIP a month, while
the same class now demand $40 to
$25. In 1891 it was said cook who
would do the laundry work received
$14 and now the cheapest wage q
cook will work for is $25 and she will
not do laundry work.

We shake hands with the right
