English is unfortunate. OF course it is
only lack of interest. Most of us know
right from wrong, at least we say we
do, but have not the time to take
pains. This attitude is an interest
ing one in that it is so different from
that of the Germans, the French and
even the English who take such
keen pride in their language, that they
would be ashamed not to speak it we'll.
Good speech is with them a requisite
in good society. It is in other words
good form. Not so with us, entertain
handsomely at dinner, have automo-
biles, give box parties, etc, as if they
were all that constituted good form.
But our speech We neglect. By many
Americans a person who pronounces
well, uses good language and is inter
ested in discussing the niceties of
speech is regarded as a prig and a
bore. School teachers and even col
lege professors often treat their
language as they would an outing suit
and this without losing status in the
communities in which they live.
Nevertheless, a person who does not
use his own language we'll, will never
go very far in foreign tongue.

HOW ONE RAILROAD "MADE"
TRAFFIC

The general passenger agent has to
keep his end up. Any G. p. A. of to-
day found entertaining the old-fash-
toned idea that the traffic that flows
of its own volition up to the ticket
Wickets is going TO be sufficient to
satisfy his employers is out of pres
ent-day development. The general
passenger agent who gets patted on
the back nowadays is the man who
goes to the president in dull season
with a sheet showing gains over
preceding busy season. He may have
to bring water from stones to increase
it, but it must be increased. There
are no two ways about what is eX-
pected of him.
So he gets out, like the traffic peO-
pie from the freight end of the rail
road, and keeps in constant touch
with his territory, with the towns
along the line and the agents who are
working under him. If he is instru-
mental in locating a big convention
at some point where his line will re-
ceive the lions share of the business,
that is a good trick and worth while.
A lively convention will do a lot to-
ward "bracing up" a weak passenger.
One arilroad reaching out of New
York into the mountains at the south
eastern corner of that state and los
ing itself at some obscure town; a
railroad without valuable connections
and ramifcations, has made its pas
senger business a little gold mine by
scientific nurturing. IT sent it's pas
senger representatives up into the
country towns and they sought to i'm
prove conditions Of every sort there.
They started agitations for better
roads from the railroad into the up
lands where city folk were prone to
wander; they helped the boarding
house landlord and the country no
tel keeper to bring their facilities up
to attractive standards.
In some cases they induced capital
to come in and build new hotels. In
every case they offered free space In
the railroads summeT-resort litera-
ture. Under a single general passen-
ger agent pursuing esuch a campaign
the passenger receipts Of
that small railroad increased one hum
dred and twenty-five per cent in eight
years. Outing Magazine.

ENGINEERS OPPOSE
ELECTRIF|CAT|ON
TO SMOKE MEAS
URE ARISES IN UNEXPECT-
ED QUARTER.
SURE TO DiSPLACE FIREMEN
AND CAUSE RECONSTRUCTION
OF ENGiNEMEN

"A fight to delay elecuifcation of
railroad terminals until electric loco
motion should be SO perfected that
it will cease to menace the lives of
thousands OF railroad trainmen" has
been begun by the brotherhoods OF
locomotive engineers.
In a communication addressed to
the aldermen of Chicago it is urged
that the forcing of identification
would add to the present dangers of
switchyards and terminals the greater
insecurity of life of a system las yet
only in the experimental stage"
THE agitation against smoke has
caused such an acute situation" reads
the letter, citing objections embodied
in resolutions adopted at a joint
meeting of twenty-one brotherhOods of
the city, land so aroused the fears of
minor officials of the railways of be-
ing held responsible for any violation
OF the smoke ordinance that they are
disciplining the enginemen severely,
unjustly and unnecessarily.
eff the proposed ordinance became
law it would practically eliminate
locomotive fremen in the electric
zone, operate to reduce the classified
ton and compensation of locomotive
engineers, and require the removal of
their families from their present
homes to other parts.
1--WE do not urge opposition wholly
on this ground, as We realize that the
terest of any class. Our main OBJ
lection to the identification which the
ordinance contemplates is on the
ground of safety. While the electrifi-
cation of a straight-away railroad
track has in d degree been, successful
ly accomplished and made practicable
the application of the same system to
complicated switching tracks is i'm
practicable and unsafe. There are
no freight terminals of an oonse-
quence operated by electricity. 1t
would be incOnsiderate of the rights
and safety of the employees who would
be obliged to use these terminals to
add to their work under a system as
yet only in an experimental stage, the
dangers of which can be foreseen.
For these reasons the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers in the
district affected. protests against the
passage of this. ordinance or any
other ordinance designed to accomp-
lish the same result, and which will
jeopardtze the lives of at least $4,000
employees"
Representatives of the locomotive
engineers and trainmen plan to ap-
pear before the Chicago transporta-
ton committee when the ordinance
comes to a hearing and elaborte their
objections.

The courteous bow that once left
light imprint
Of lips on hands whose dust he can
not trace
Lives in his stoop. Their clouds

Unto the last his palsied hand a hint
Keeps of the gesture large and

That once swept free-a cuff of flow

To proffer snuff or pick a pistol flint
Some dee-ashed spark the times rude

AS in some missal where articles
Of elder day with patient craft did

The virtues of the school that mold

Flash forth in fadeless golden char

CHAPTER ~.
A Queen of Society.

A Queen of Society.
As Christmas draws nearer, the joy
BUSINESS Of its presence stretches out
before it, and the society which still
honors London by its presence and
yet intends keeping Christmas down
at its courtly mansions makes pre-
liminary squirt and issues tickets for
balls and eight o'clock dinners.
On this night, three weeks before
Christmas, there was ball at the
Countess of Dovewell's, Lord Mar
MONS mother, and a brilliant throng
was crowding the elegant drawing
rooms and spacious salons.
The countess herself was a grand
specimen of the haute Nablesse, tall,
slightly but wonderfully gracefully
built, with clear-cut features and
quick blue eyes.
Lord Marmion, the darling of her
heart, resembled her. He had the
same blue eyes, with an extra touch
of frankness in them, the same clear
Iy cut nose, but not quite so resolute
chin.
He was standing beside his mother
helping her in her duties.
Most of the guests had arrived
one not initiated in the mysteries Of
ballroom space would say that there
was room for no more-but, crowded
as the salon was, all the guests had
not yet fulfilled their promises, and
the countess, as a waltz was started,
said to her son:
Ernest, do not see your favorite,
Miss Newton"
Nor I. do not know what makes
them so late" he returned. Mrs.
Newton is generally punctual. Wild
fang is not here either, and he, being
a business man, ought to be punctu-
al. All! here is some one," he add
ed, as the servants were seen clearing
away from the door, and the next in
slant the proud face of Mrs. Newton
appeared above the heads Of the
crowd, and in another the beautiful
one of sweet Stella.
The countess went forward to meet
them, and welcomed them most cor
daily.
She did not like Mrs. Newton-she
read her character too clearly-but
her son-her darling son, had taken
one of his odd fancies and she must
humor it.
If she did not like the mother, she
was attracted by the daughter-and
no wonder, for Stella was looking
more beautiful than ever that night,
and, as she raised her eyes, which had
a lingering, pensive light in their
depths, the countess pressed her hand
more than cordially.
" l am so glad you have come. My
son told me that you would be here an
hour ago"
And we should have BEEN" said
Mrs. Newton, ''but my daughter had a
troublesome headache"
Il am sorry" said the countess.
''Is it better?"

sworn. What was she saying? Look
at that poor man, how tired, how
seedy and how disreputable he looks
and that pitifully?
No; when I saw her face there
were fire, righteous Indignation, pas
siOnate dignity in it-no pity Why
did she point? Bah! Let me to work.
Now, nymph, fancy has turned, ard is
ready to carve thee a nose, a mouth
and a pair of eyes; but what sort?''
by Heayen!" he exclaimed, fash
ing up his mallet, thou shalt have
the face OF my beautiful lady. Thou
shalt have her eyes, her small lips,
her proud brow, and when thou art
done, I, Louis FELTON,, master of
tumble-down Hawthorne, miserable
sculptor, half starving solitaire, will
point at thee, on nymph! as thy orig
inal pointed at me? Come, my power
full maIlet, now for her hair!"

1t was Stella.
She paused.
Sir Richard turned and met her
eyes.
Why did his shrink with an express
sion almost of fear.
Why did hers fix themselves for an
instant on his dark, masterful face,
then lower themselves to conceal a
sudden dislike and dread?
Pace onward, Time, and let forth
coming events reveal how true was
woman's instinct, how dastardly was
the cowardice Of dishonesty.

JAPANESE BRIDGES AND AUTO
MOBFI


This was practically the first of the
Japanese bridges We had seen. The
automobile was stopped, and we in
vestigated. A single man, jumping
upon the bridge, proved it as springy
as the mOst-sung mattress in the adj
vertising pages Of Americas maya
zines. To have run even the front
wheels of the machine upon it would
have meant dropping them through
into the stream below. One little
bridge that could not be crossed: re
suIt-a twenty mile detOur through
back country roads. And let no one
forget that a twenty-mile detour in an
automobile is one thing in the United
States, another thing in Japan.
While We had been inspecting the
bridge, traffic had piled up before ana
behind the automobile which COM
pletely filled the road. All the carts
that were behind US had to back up
while our car was backed to a cross
road; there the oncoming traffic was
allowed to pass by, and then we once
more got under way.
Bridges followed each other now
with a more than desirable rapidity.
The native carts can be turned so
easily on their wheels thay the
bridges. for the sake of economy in
construction, always cross streams by
the shortest line, no matter what the
resulting road-angle may be. How
this facilitated automobile traveh
when both roads and bridges are just
wide enough to let the machine pass
over them, can easily be imagined.

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in SO many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get

it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
