The detected rogue was not long in

lance. One man, however, appeared to
have business there. Walter saw his

did not exceed one dollar.
The conductor on seeing the pocketbook

as he heard of the robbery suspected at
once the thief and his motive.

Danger In Deep Pockets

The "Harvard stoop" is said to have
originated among bashful freshmen
ramming their hands down in the
deep poe kets. A Boston doctor said
deep trouser pockets are more danger
Gus than French heels and more in.
furious than corsets. he said:
These fellows come here young and
shy and afraid to show their diflIdence
They don't know what TO do with
their hands when they are standing
talking to girl. Naturally they ram
them down Ia their pockets as far as
they can ram them. With the loose,
baggy trousers with the deep pockets,
the hands are showed down until the
back takes GA curve and the should-
ers are dropped out of all proportions"

In the conservation of cur national
resources the most helpful methods
are those which stop waste; not wan
ton waste only, but also such loss ss
results from the employment of imper-
feet means ror any purpose when bet
ter and more economical ones are
available. An example in point is the
substitution by the electric company
which furnishes light to the people Of
New York of tungsiern lamps for
lamps with the carbon filament now
most commonly used. The new lamps
give so per cent more light than the
old with the same current; in other
words, New York will get as ruuch
light as it now does at cost OF two
thirds of the electric power now con
samed. Net only will the consumers
get as much illumination as they now
do for one-third less money, but there
will be a corresponding saving in the
fuel used to generate current.
At the conference of Governors An
drew Carnegie spoke Of an immense
wastage that would be sa red through
the developement and more general
use of our inland waterways in our
transportation of commodities. Water
WAYS do not use up iron, while rail-
roads eat to huge quantities of this dim
inishing resource in the form of steel
rails. The waste of coal through bad
mining practices as well through unin-
telligent and extravagant methods Of
consumption is appalling, and even
under the most favorable circumstances
only twenty per cent, OF the heat stored
in our "black diamonds is converted
into effective energy. The increase in
the consumption of this mineral, which
in recent years has proceeded by leaps
and bounds, is generally regarded
with unreserved satisfaction as an In
dcation of our great prosperity; il
one should fgue out how much of this
increase represents sheer waste the
sum total would make him stand
aghast.
Conservation means wealth not only
for future generations, but for the
present. A wlster impoverishes not
his children alone but himself as we'll.
We pride ourselves, with good reason,
on our mechanical inveo tions. In the
economy of labor we are the most saw
ing of nations; but in the consumption
of base products. in the use OF the soil
and our "inexhaustible" natural re-
sources we are the most spendthrift.
But the recognition of this fault is
sure sign of improvement.

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't forget that light head makes
a heavy heart.
Don't expect to find salvation until
you find yourself.
Don't add to your faults by failing
to see any Of your own.
Don't expect a sanctifled look TO
make up for a lack Of sand.
Don't attempt to remove the spots
on your face by breaking the mirror.
Don't forget that you cannot obtain
sancity by subtracting sense from spir-
ituality.
Don't fail to learn that it's no use
fussing about keeping the faith if you
cannot keep your friends.
Don't fail to observe that you can tell
a good deal about a man by the things
that appeal to his sense Of humor.
Don't fail to set this days work
first and you shall not be ashamed if it
should prove to be your last.
Don't hesitate to sympathize with a
child and thereby bring the gates Of
heaven little nearer you every time.

CAN AFFORD LOW RATE
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT TESTIFIES
FOR 2-CENT FARE.
Declares Cost of Intrastate Service Costs
Much Less Than "Long Haul"
Traffic.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dee 22--The
state today began the introduction of
evidence to support its side in the Mis-
souri, rate case, which has been dragging
along here in the United States district
court before Judge Smith Mcpherson.
When the court adjourned Saturday last,
the eighteen roads had concluded the
presentation of their evidence in an en-
deavor to prove their claim, namely, that
the 2=cent and maximum freight laws OF
Missouri were contiscatCry.
The first witness called by. the state
was A. Z. Taliaferro, who is connected
with a New York firm of expert account
ants and who mas been in charge of the
states Investigations into the earnings
and expenses of various railroads.
Mr.. Taliaferro, in direct opposition to
the long array of witnesses introduced by
the defense, declared the relative cost to
the railway companies per passenger
mile was less for state than for inter
state traffic.
Mr.. Taliaferro based his conclusion
on the fact that most of the interstate
traffic was handled on sleeping cars
which do not carry so large a number
of passengers as the ordinary coaches.
which accommodated a larger number
of patrons, and that the witness said,
made the cost of handling them relative
ly smaller.
1t was further stated that the time of
almost everybody connected with the
road was largely given to expediting
and securing the competitive, or long
haul business, and that practically all
of the advertising expenses and most
of the traffic expenses should be charged
TO the cost of obtaining and carrying
Interstate passengers.

and, his neck being long, it habitually
protruded when he was walking or
talking.
Madison, the father Of the constitu-
ton, was physically unlike any of his
predecessors. Below the average height,
he was small of frame. Throughout
his long and eminently useful life he
was semi-invalid, and it is a singular
fact that the two Presidents who lived
to the greatest age were in early life
convinced that death was constantly
waiting Just around the corner for
them. John Adams was for many
years mOrbidly anxious about his
health, but during the last half of his
ninety years of life he was exception
ally hale and hearty. Not so with
Madison. From extreme youth to his
death at So he was feeble and sickly.
James Monroe was rather more
than six feet high, broad and square
shOuldered and raw-boned." He was q
man Of great physical strength, but
awkward in his movements.
John Quincy Adams bore a strong
personal resemblance to his father.
John Adams, although perhaps q
little taller and a little more bald
His successor, Andrew Jackson, had
the physical characteristics, but not
the mental, of Thomas Jefferson. He
stood six feet one III his stocking feet,
and was very slender. Jackson's sue
cessOr, Martin Van Buren,, was the
second Of the little men to occupy the
presidential chair. Little Van" was
the nickname his political enemies APP
piled to him. He was below the mid
die height and slender, but erect He
was fond Of the elegancies of life, and
was always Immediately attired, a
trait which magnified to the point of
dandyism in his son, prince John"

His successor, for brief time. Zach

"dumpy,' as the popular expression
puts it. Fillmore, who became Presi-

the big men Of the presidential line.

Buchanan was tall and large of frame.
He habitually carried his head with

physical popularity that was even more
unusual-One Of his eyes was hazel,

SERMONETTES.

The Iimelight does not make the hero.
Wheat is often the best cure for
weeds
No man receives more than he be-
Iieves.
No man can preach far beyond his
real self.
It's never wise to trust the man who
trusts no one.
The Ills that follow our lusts are usu-
ally charged up to our luck.
The most ridiculous coward in the
world is the man who fears ridicule
Life always disagrees with the man
who tries to take its cake all at once.
No religion has much power over us
that does not make some great appeal
to Us.
Some people do not know the differ
ence between fearing God and being
afraid in the dark.
When a mans religion gets. in no
farther than his head it all runs out
readily at his lips.
When we say we hate fattery we
usually mean we believe to hear it In
the third person.
It's good deal easier to believe that
the angels love many sinners than that
they love all the saints.
The trouble often is that we listen
to the voice Of conscience while yield
ing to the push Of desire.
If you really want to know the world
you will do more than investigate it's
shadows and sample its garbage cans.
When you are able to set your re-
ligion in a compartment Of your life,
life itself comes along and locks up the
file.
You may know how much man is
really worth by seeing how much he
