Cheerful Evening Reveries for Tired

WANTED, A GIRL,
"Wanted-a girl, not butterfly gay;
Gentle and sweet in womanly way.
No beautiful picture, languld and fair.
That always seems labelled, PLEASE handle

But one in whose heart is hidden true worth.
And faithfully follows its mission on earth,
Hopeful and earnest in helping and giving,
Finds plenty to do in the life she is living,
Ful1lling its duties with sweet content,
Whether adverse or pleasant, just as they re
sent;
In the garb Of queen or in homespun arrayed,
Whatever her statiOn-is needed that maid" ;"

THE SANCTIrY OF HOME.

A man has no right to enter his
own door with cloud upon his
brow and temper in his heart
His coming should rejoice his wife
and children. a woman has no
right to be always complaining
about little things aud showing
discomfort in a thousand ways
and keeping the children in con-
slant state OF alarm for fear moth.
er will "make a fuss about it,"
There should never be frown at
the dinner table, or at the morn
ing or evening meal, nor should
there be that dismal silence that
sometimes broods over the meal
and takes away the appetite, Food
taken in sullen silence will not
digest. The bed and the board
should always be cheerful. The
sleep will not be sweet when there
are tears upon the pillow. We
would be afraid TO scold a child
just before the eyes were closed
in sleep. The responsibility is
greater upon the parent than up
on the children. If the father is
loving and companionable to his
boys they will be more apt to stay
at home and not wander off into
bad company, They would not
speak OF him as "the old man."
They would not be waiting for him
to die so they would inherit his
estate. If the mother was always
gentle and kind and reasonable to
her girls they would love home
too well to make a runaway match
or go with unprincipled young
men, "Make Home Happy"
should be the watch-word in every
family. 1t is well enough to have
the little prayer, "God Bless Our
Home" painted, or worked on
canvas, overhanging the mantle,
but our Creator will not do for us
what we can do for ourselves.
The Bibles in a great many
houses are so beautiful and costly
that the young folks are not per.
mitted to open them.
a man without either natural OF
cultivated civility is the most dis
agreeable thing in nature outside
of a burdock or hedgehog, but q
woman without the gift Of a graci
Gus and pleasant manner is like

MEXICAN STATE

Commerce, Agriculture and Mining
Promise to Be Prosperous Indus
tries as Soon as Railroads
Are Completed

Great commercial, agricultural and
mining prospects appear to be the OUT
look for the state of Sinaloa, Mexico,
according to the recent reports from
that country.
George w. Parsons of the mining
committee of the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce has recently returned
from a trip through Sinaloa. In speak
ing of his trip Mr.. Parsons said yes
terday:
Il made a trip of 200 miles by mules
through the interior Of the state of
Sinaloa, starting from Culiacan, the
capital coming out at Topolobampo

where 1 took the steamer Guaymas.

was in an even worse condition, but
workmen are now engaged in repair
ing the south side of the street.
Spring street between Fourth and
Sixth stands as a monument to the
nerve of the gas and electric compa-
MES. Holes four feet by two feet have
been dug In order to allow pipes to
be laid. Many of these holes have
been filled with sand and broken
stone, but only a few of them have
been covered with asphalt. Those that
have are still easily seen, as the re-
pairs We're made in such way that
the new asphalt in. spots rises more
than an inch above the surface of the
street.
The remaining holes are left in such
manner that they are a constant
menace to travel and a Disgrace to
the city.

had received the alluvium deposits from
the mountain range and silt from the
overflow from the many streams across
the state from the mountains to the
sea, which were well distributed.
Climatic Conditions Good,
II found the climatic conditions good
except where the Indians and poorer
Mexicans had failed to observe sani-
tary conditions. In every instance
where the calentura, or fever, was
prevalent the cause was plainly to be
seen from the fact that the water was
drawn from the lowest depression In
the village, which, with some energy
might have been procured with sani-
tary conditions. North of Tropic OF
Cancer. which line passes between Gull
lean and Mazatlan, the climate is much
better than to the south.
lowing to the policy of the Sinaloa
Land and Water company withdrawing
all it's land from the market until the
advent of the railroad, there is OF
course very little activity along agri.
cultural lines, compared to what there
will be when this company sees fit tC
offer it's land for sale.
"There Is no question as to the ulti.
mate future of this part Of the world
venture to say that there is more
good land with fewer impediments tC
successful agriculture and can be pur-
chased at lower prices than at any
other In that or our own country

They declare the system successful. simple
and practical. and point out many other fea-
mense improvement over any other system
now known tc be in existence. Other un-
prejudiced and scientific experts have pro-
nounced the system wonderfully simple and
simply wonderful The reports will be sent
to any one upon request.
MY AUTOMATIC SIGNAL SERVICE
I absolutely prevent collisions Everywhere
a car moves it sends signals ahead and be-
hind. 1t is not affected by storms or any
weather condition. My signal system does
not require either hand or mind of man to
operate it, No wires poles exposed
where storms can blow them down in
terfere with them. If through accident
commission, another signal Immediately takes
its piece. Every train dispatcher and oper-
ator on the road can go to sleep and my sig
nails VIII work perfectly and safely: Even
the trainmen have nothing to do with them.
There is no forgetting. Every signal works
automatically. When trains come together too
closely, head on or from the rear, an electric
bell rings vigorously in the leverman's cab.
CARS UNDER ABSOLUTE CONTROL
| 1t is all controlled by one lever. The lever
| man starts. stops and reverses with the same
| such substances do not affect the power or
| control of the car or train.
THE BUSINESS WILL BE IMMENSE
Because before long we will be putting my
| system on all the standard, street and inter
urban railways. Just think what immense
business that will be. One company alone
now employs II, 900 to make the present
electric railway equipments and cars. An
other firm employs nearly as many more.
There are also thousands of men employed
making standard locomotives and equipment.
All Of these will be back numbers and will
have to go out of business. because the Lef
fler electric system will take their place and
will employ thousands more.
INVESTIGATE US CAREFULLY
Come and see this most remarkable inven-
tion of the twentieth century.
This is such an opportunity does not
come to any one once in a hundred years,
to get in the ground floor on a proposition
bound to make millions. 1t is the next great
forward step in the railroad world. 1t means
the ultimate changing of every present steam
and street railroad to the Ieffler system
not only because it can run faster but it
saves about half in operating expenses and
thousands of lives.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

/ From commercial, agricultural and
mining point of view this part OF the
west coast of Mexico presents superior
advantages which should not be lost
sight of and which will receive marked
attention in the near future.
"The natives are all asleep as to the
natural advantages of the country with
few notable exceptions. It will be
the wide awake and thriving element
from the outside that will enliven and
increase the various facilities of this
state.
"A railroad is NOW being built south
from Guaylnas, its objective point be-
Ing at Guadalajara. 1t is expected that
itsWill be built as far as the capital OF
Sinaloa within eighteen months. Then
this practically unknown country will
be thrown open to the world and the
old days of '49 will be repeated at this
pari of the country in the condition OF
California at that period.
Another railroad system known as
the Kansas CITY, Orient & Mexican
crosses the state at the northern end
from Topolobampo, heading for Kan
sas City, Mo. This road is now being
successfully operated almost the whole
width Of the state.
"The character OF the people is peace
ful and well disposed. TO illustrate the
conditions, started with a small
pocket revolver, but as / had no oeca-

all the weapon Of defense 1 had was a
pocket knife.

POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE
LEFFLER SYSTEM TAKING THE
PLACE OF PRESENT STEAM
RAILWAYS

1t does away entirely with locomotives.
heavy motor cars, electric engines and all
other similar heavy and expensive ma
chimes.
A speed of so to 200 miles an hour can
be regularly reached and maintained for
any distance.
Runs winter and summer alike. Not
affected by ice, snow, grease, dirt, sleet
rain or any other weather conditions.
Less than one-half of the fuel is needed.
Trains can be started and stopped
quicker than by any other system and
without discomfort to passengers.
Power houses can be placed 200 miles
apart
No brakes are required The stopping
is done by reversing the current.
There is no fiattening of the wheels and
consequent jogging of the cars. Wheels
do not grind on the rails to start trains,
hence no holes or depressions are made.
1t is easier on the roadbed and cars,
and practically no repairs will be needed.

SYSTEM FOR STREET RAILWAYS

SYSTEM FOR STREET RAILWAYS
There are no overhead wires, no third
rail, no slot in the street, no underground
trolley, no obstructions in theS street
Can be run faster, safer easier and
more comfortably than any other system
known.
1t is cheaper to operate. uses a half less
fuel at power house, is cleaner, surer and
quicker in operation than any other.
Cannot be stopped by sleet or snow
storms, rain ice, grease. dirt or any 9TH
or similar distractions on the track.
1t cannot produce electrolysis on water
pipes or conduits In the streets, which is
now such heavy expense to cities under
the trolley.
1t cannot interfere with any other cleo
trio wires, requires less current than 9TH
er systems and develops greater power
1t is all controlled by one lever and is
always under the most absolute control,
anywhere, and under all conditions
1t is noiseless, since there are no gear
ings. motors or other machinery to grind,
squeak rattle.
There are no "burn-outs' of motors. be-
cause there are no motors to burn out.
1t is impossible for man or beast to
get shock from an electric current.
