He Didn't Go
Up to Dinner

S. B. Calderhead, general agent fol
the Northern Pacific railroad went te
Portland, Monday. Nothing unusual ir
that; but when a married man from
and is accosted by a pretty damsel who
blushingly inquiries why he didn't
come up to dinner yesterday" it is
time for investigation.
Mr.. Calderhead boarded the street
car at the Union depot on his arrival ir
Portland, and proceeded to Third anG
Morrison streets, whittier his business
mission took him. AS he stepped from
the car to the curb, a pretty young
lady sailed gracefully up to him, with
a smile as sweet as day in June
shook his hand warmly and engaged
him in confidential conversation, re-
marking upon his excellent and healthy
appearance. Then after the two ha6
walked about a block, the fair one
with just a touch Of embarrassment
turned to Mr. Calderhead and asked:
But why didn't you come up te
dinner yesterday"
Failing heartily into the situation
and resolving to ultimately have the
laugh on his new friend, Mr. Calder
head carelessly replied:
"Oh, 1 was in Walla Walla yester-
day"
What on earth could you be doing
in Walla Walla on Sunday?" returned
the maid.
Again the general agent was right
in line, and the response came more
readily:
"Well, there was a preacher up there
who conducted services and 1 wished
to hear him speak"
$50 you have reformed, have you
l did not expect anything like that
from you"
The talk and repartee pursued the
natural channel as the two wended
their way cautiously down the crowded
thoroughfare, until, at a corner, the
young lady started to excuse herself
first asking Mr.. Calderhead if it would
be convenient for him to come up tc
dinner the following afternoon.
Il should be delighted to do So
replied he ''if you will tell me where
[ am expected to appear"
Then, for the first time realizing that
there must be some mistake, the fail
one carefully scrutinized her compan-
ions cOuntenance, only to discover that
she had been talking to a total strang-
er, but withal, one who was able tC
take care, of himself, and one who was
an excellent conVerSatiOnalist.
She bridled, blushed, stammered and
finally managed to make apologies
and explanations, saying that she
thought she was speakink to a well
known commercial traveller, who
somewhat resembles Mr.. Calderhead
and is frequently mistaken by those
acquainted with the two men for the
Northern Pacific agent.
Extra citing one of his official cards
from his case, Mr.. Calderhead handed
one to his late acquaintance, at the
same time instructing her to inform
her travelling friend that he has some ex-
ceedingly charming friends in the
Rose City.

.IIIST WISHING,

I'd like to be on an ice-bound shore,
With my coin in a snowbank
stored;
Id Ike to rest on the ice-bound
crest
Of hill by frozen ford.
Where rivers Of ice-coId lemonade
Run by me in the cooling shade,
With the largest straw that was ever
made,
Dipped into the sparkling stream.
And there on my right L should like
to see
A Iaborers shovel awaiting me,
To dig when I willed into what
would be
\ mountain of pink ice-cream.
I'd like to sneak off to far-off place
Where electric fans are grown;
Where Id breathe my ease in the
cooling breeze,
Up there in the frigid zone,
Where the crystal palace would be
my club.
And my Iounging place a swell bath
tub,
Where frozen pudding would be my
grub
think that would make a hit;
Where the natives give you the
frosty stare,
And serve cold tongue on the bill of
fare,
And a freezing glance every lassie
there
Hands out with the frosty mitt.
I'd like to be there where the polar
bear
HowIs loud DER the frozen void;
I would Joy in his cry, I won't deny,
II it made my blood run cold.
And back from the dim and the
frozen past,
Should a glacier come with ice fields
vast,
I'd yell in my gIee: AT last! At
last!
There's ice enough at my door!"
And Id not be afraid if I made a
drink
With a chunk OF ice in the bowl to
Clink,
Ny wife would cry: Put it back,
by jink.
That's got to last three days more"

terror. Elected member Of the ma
ticnal convention al %, in less than
two years he formed with Robespserre
and Couthon the ruling triumvirate Of
the committee Of public safety. Unit,
ing the beauty and sternness of a
young god with the relentless ardor o.
| a fanatic for conscience's sake, his
short public career saw him now ex-
horting the convention to frmness IN
the Jacobin faith, now rousing the
| provinces against the invading arm
les Of allied Europe, now animatins
with his presence the French troops
on the frontier and himself charging
| the Prussians at the head Of Alsatian
recruits, now pointing the finger OF
accusation at the enemies OF the re-
public" There is no rest for revoIu-
| tionists save in the grave" ne said
That rest ne found at the grim hands
of Sampson when %. His leader,
Ropespierre, was guirIotined at &c, as
a few months before DantOn had been
guilIotined at s. and Camille Desmou-
Inns at SO.
There was that great British antag-
onist of the French revolution, WI
liam Pitt the younger, who became
chancellor of the exchequer at % and
prime minister at q.
Pitts chief parliamentary opponent,
Charles Fox, entered the house OF
commons at g, a feat which for cousti-
tutional reasons no American can hop.
to parallel, and was a member of Lord
North's government at %.
Another brilliant young statesman
of those brilliant days was Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, orator and dramat-
list, whose Rivals" written at "a, be-
came at once a classic. Across the
Irish channel the unfortunate Robert
Emmett achieved fame as patriot ana
orator at Is. A more successful rebel,
Joseph Mazzini, some thirty years
later, organized the young Italy party
at %.
There was Robert Give, founder Of
.Britain's eastern empire, the ne'er-do-
we'll youth, who sprang into fame by
his victory at Arcot when Is and won
the battle of PIassey sealing the fate
of India, at 90.
And, to conclude, there was Napo-
leon Bonaparte, the most famous man
that is to say, the man whose fame
spread farthest-of the last century
He was "a when Toulon fell before his
artillery and % when, with a Wifi OF
grapeshot," he scattered the insurgent
section at Paris and ended the reVolu-
ton. Then came twenty years Of mill
tary and political achievement such as
has fallen to no other modern. First
consul at 80, emperor at 35, he was A.
when, with MarengO, Austerlitz, Jena,
Wagram behind him, Europe at his
feet and kings fer his lackeys, he met
disaster in Russia, as Charles of Swe-
den had done a century before. When
his final overthrow came at Waterloo
he was At, just two years older than
is the young" German emperor Of to-
day.

Rare Metals.

The mineral kingdom comprises a
vast number of subjects of which by
no means all are utilized by man
even in this day of great material de-
velopment. When America was dis
covered only about twenty or twenty
five minerals were in use. Now the
mineral industry takes account of
nearly a hundred distinct useful min
eral substances. A group that has re-
Gently emerged from the class of
of mere meteorological curiOsities in

Guiding what biologists call the rare
earth minerals This class comprises
such substances as chromite, carno-
tite, cobalt, tungsten, vanadtum,
molybdenum, titanium, uranium, tan
talum, alanite, yttrium, rutile, beryE
Iium and zircon.
The United States geological sur
very. in its investigations of the min
eral resources of the United States,

bic with the use of the telegraph
The telephone method OF operat-
ing trains is, in my opinion, great
stride forward. 1t means that trains
can be operated with more safety 10
the passenger and train crew than IN
der any other method yet devised.
The Illinois Central is a pioneer in
the use Of this method, as we have
had it on a portion of the Chicago di-
vision and found that the trains can
be dispatched with greater security,
less trouble and with more regularity
than under the present methods. We
hope to have system in operation ON
this division within a very short
time and am confident, from the re.
suits which have been obtained on
the other divisions, that it will prove
an unqualified success"

THE CLUB MOTHERS AMENDS.

The clubwoman closed her book on
domestic responsibility and, with a
tinge of remorse, went out on the
lawn, where her children were at
play.

nurse, I've neglected my young ones
for the clubs too much these years,
and I'm going to try and make
amends. Now, this afternoon l in

when the reformed clubwoman. after
pushing a go-cart containing the
yOungster she had selected and pre-
pared for its outing about the spa
cious public park for several hours,
started toward home. She had hardly
come within sight of it when the
nurse rushed up, palpably agitated.

mother announced by way of assur-
ance. u humored it all afternoon

stretch Of this peculiar class Of
highway Will be under construction
within a few days. The oiled roads
of California have saved millions OF
dollars 70 the farmers and fruit grow
ers OF that fertile state in the last
few years by suppTessing the dust
that formerly arose in binding clouds
with the passing Of every 7enlcIe.
Those dust clouds, floating TO ada
cent fields and orchards deprecated
the price Of farm produce and low
cred the values Of real estate TO
startling degree. The sprinkling Of
oil was tried and the dust was held Ill
check. Then some Of the roads were
Ulowed and the oil mixed with the
earth and the mass firmly rolled TO a
properly crowned surface. Splendid
results followed in most instances.
Kansas has long been dust-ridden
and the oiled roads now to be built
there will, it is hoped, prove as benz
fetal 10 the people of that common
wealth as the California roads have
TO that state.
There is now in course Of prepare
alton a comprehensive treatise on
dust prevention which will fall from
the presses of the government print
ing office in a few days. Following 1t
in few weeks will be symposium
the experience and the
experiments of all state highway COM
park boards and city en-
gineers who have done any WORK
along these lines. Their views and
findings will be supplemented by the
reports OF a federal public road ex-
pert who has carefully examined the
methods now in use in France and
England.
