Elr.t Dining Car.

.Jvst forty years ago." said T. G.
Newton, Chicago railroad man, "the
Chicago & Alton road put on the first
dining car ever operated on any rail,
way train in the world This was on
che run between Chicago and ST.
Louis. If that car could be exhibited
row it would create universal merri-
nent. It had oilcloth table covers, the
seats were screwed to the floor, and
its illumination depended on candles.
Think of the contrast between that
primitive affair of 1868 and the mod
ern dining car, finished in solid ma
hogany, with gorgeous furniture, and
a menu as elaborate and cooking as
dainty as that supplied by any of the
foremost hotels Of America. Verify
we have been going some in the four
decades that have gone by since the

The Girl Was Not Afraid.

After two men had failed to do it,
owing to lack Of nerve, Miss Ellie
Moody of Rupert, near here, to-day
climbed an eighty-foot slender ladder
to a windwheel and repaired the
wheel.
1t was out of order, and her father
sent his gardeners to fix it. Each
climbed about half way up when they
lost heart and descended, the high
wind shaking the ladder so badly they
were frightened.
Miss Moody, who saw them, pushed
them aside, daringly climbed the slen-
der ladder herself and calmly de-
scended, cheered by a large number
Of people who witnessed her feat.

Turks Objected to Horses Names.

The horses belonging to the late
British ambassador at Constantinople,
Sir Nicholas O'Conor, have been sold

an the local press, but the censor took
exception, as there were horses in the
&st with the names Pasha, Selim and
s5aroun, which he considered was Of
@ansiys to Turks, and the list had to
sssnoar without the names.

MI. Roosevelt Emphatically De-
clares His Belief in Athletics
and Pronounces the Y. M.
C. A. Good Thing.
Els LATTER'S PHOTOGRAPH

The biggest man in this city today is
Gordon Leech. Ask any one OF the mem
bers of the V NJ G. A., or any of the
students at the Business High School.
They will tell you that Gordon is the real
thing on his own account. with Il large
tine way that he dashed into President
Roosevelt's office at Gas last night, clad
In his running shirt and trousers, and
showed the silver tube containing the New
chief executives hand.
For the end of this 241-mie relay run
was just about as exciting thing as has
happened around here for a long time.
1t ended just the way the Y. NJ. c. y. peo-
pie were planning, too. AS it happened,
the Washington boys eXcelled their own
hopes and reached the White House
many minutes ahead of time. The Pres
dent had been playing tennis with Secre-
tary Garfield and was clad in his fan
nes
Some One brought him word that the
tube was flashing along like Il shooting
star, and the game was stopped for d
shower bath and a rub down, and then
Gordon came through the door of the
office as if he intended going on through
without making any stops. There were
several impetuous youths behind him who
wanted to be in at the finish. but they
halted in some embarrassment, Mean
while Gordon showed the tube into the
Presidents hand.

I'm glad to know YOU" said Mr.. Roose-
vet Il wish | could shake hands with
every boy who handled the message. What
time did they make between here and
Baltimore"
Gordon. He had forgotten he was talk
ing to a great President, and talked to
the chief executive in front of him as to d
fellow athlete.
That's fine said the President.
Then Gordon Leech, President RooSe-
Welt and John B. S.eman of the Y. NJ. G.
A. who had gone up to the White House
to make an opening for the runner, talked
for a while about athletics.
Il believe in athletics means to an
end" declared the President. Il see no
reason why good men should have slant
ing shoulders. The association is good
thing. My boy Quentin is a member and
so am /.
While they were talking in the office
Mrs Roosevelt sent in a photograph of
the President as gift to Gordon Leach.
Sitting down at his desk the President
wrote upon it:
Presented to Gordon Leech, who COM
pleted the New York to Washington relay
run, November %, 1905
II wish ! could give one of these photo
graphs to every boy in tile rum said the
President.
Souvenirs for the Runners.
"Oh we'll take care of that" remarked
Mr.. Sleman. well have this one copied
and every runner will get a copy, auto
graph and ALL
That closed the interview, and Gordon
Leech bounded out of the Office and into
waiting crowd of y. NJ. c. a. boys,
who were crazy with excitement. There
was a roar of cheers, punctuated by the
honk- honk of automobile horns, and deep
ened by noises OF all kinds for few sec
onds. Every one wanted to know what
the President said and did. and Gordon S
fiimsy running clothes ran great danger
of being torn to shredS. A waiting auto
mobile carried Leech TO the Y. NJ. c. A,
where he was given a rOusing cheer by
the waiting members.
The message in the TUBE brought to the
President was from Richard Morse,
Y. NJ. c. a. man of New York. but no one
except the President and the sender know
what the words are. They were not given
out last night. and many and various
were the suggestions of the newspaper
men waiting in the office.

Government to Find Work for All

The greatest employment agency in
the world has been newly established
at Washington. So writes Rene Bache
in the Technical World Magazine for
May. 1t Is conducted by the govern
ment, and its business will be to find
work for everybody. Jobs for over a
million immigrants from foreign
lands have to be obtained somehow
every year, and Uncle Sam proposes
TO take charge of this enormous task.
But, In addition. great numbers of ma
tive-born American citizens arc in
want of suitable or permanent occu.
patton. and in their lehalf the Fed
eral organization intends to make use
of all its vast facilities. with a view
toy enabling them to earn a satisfac-
tory allowance of bread and butter.
II is very desirable to find some
thing for the foreigner to do-to get
him away from the largo centers of
population, where he has a tendency
TO stagnate and form colonies with
others of his kind. and to shin him
Off TO some place where his labor IL
really wanted. and where he will have
chance TO live and to bring ND his
children under favorite conditions. In

a Livelihood deccntly elsewhere. he
VIII IN most instances become a use
full citizen.
To accomplish this very purpose
the division of information, as the
new fledged employment agency is
called. has been established. as
branch OF the bureau of immigration.
But. as above indicated. its facilities
will be used also to help native born
Americans. The Southern states, for
example. need labor. and there has
been a strong movement in favor of
turning the stream of aliens in that
