Train Trouble for Hope.
From The Star.

From The Star,
 Recently new schedule went into effect on the Iron Mountain which took off two of the principal mail and passenger trains on the road and caused trouble generally in the accommodations rendered the people Of this section of Ark. ansas. One of the changes at that time was that No. 6, the through train which goes north in the afternoon, would only stop here for St. Louis passengers. This matter was rectified by the railroad company, however, and No. 6 has continued to stop here as before. Yesterday, however, orders were issued that No. 6 would only stop at Hope when Tagged for St. Louis passengers These orders will go into effect today. This will mean that Hope Is only provided with local pas. senger service to Gurdon and to Little Rock, and that no fast trains will stop here. It means also that the mail service north

Castilian Omelet.

Spain furnishes us with a deli cious omelet. writes Fannie Mer- ritt Farmer in Woman's Home Companion for September. Beat four eggs slightly. just enough to thoroughly blend the yolks and the whites. and add four tablespoon fuls of cold water, one-half tea spoonful of salt and one-eighlh of a teaspoonful of pepper. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a hot omelet pan. and when melted turn in the mixture. As it cooks. prick and pick up with a fork until the whole is of creamy consistency. Place on hotter part of the range, that it may brown quickly under heath. Fold in a small quantity of tomato sauce, turn onto hot serving dish, and surround with to- mato sauce. For the tomato sauce, cook two tablespoonfuls of butter with one tablespoonful of finely chopped onion and one-half table spoonful of finely chopped red or green pepper until yellow. Add one and three-fourths cupfuls of tomatoes and let simmer until the moisture has nearly evaporated; then add two tablespoonfuls o f sliced mushroom caps. one table spoonful of salt and a few grains of cayenne.

Are Babies Moral.

We do not expect paternal feel. ings in a child of five. v says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in October Wo mans Home Companion. Why, then. should we expect any other of those race-regarding impulses which we term. morality? Even to appeal to the better feelings of a child of eight or ten is often almost as irrational as the celebrat- ed apostrophe of the emotional Irish barrister, who in the fine fren- zy of his peroration whirled upon the judge with the thrilling appeal. Sir, was you iver a mother?' To appeal to chiId's better nature, while excellent, in moderation. often does little more than make a hypocrite out of him before his time.
 He has got your hair, and his mothers eyes and voice. and some of your little tricks of manner and temuer-now. and he is just as safe to develop your superb self control and civic devotion and con sideration for others if you will only give him time-a and set him a good example. Meanwhile preach ing to him that he should possess these qualities will expedite mat ters precious little. and unless backed up by example, not at all. Remember that fife and growth of all sorts are but response to en- vironment, and new responses can only occur as opportunity is afford ed for them"
