CENTERVILLE'S NEW
RAILROAD DEPOT
Railroad Officials Visit tn, City and
Ta!k the Matter Over With
NeWscaper Man.

Centeryill Citizen General Supt.
F. H. Ustick. of the Missouri divis-
ion of the Burlington railroad at ST.
Louis, and 4. C. Maxwell, general
agent for the c., B. & Q. at Keokuk,
the former accompanied ty his wife,
were in Centerville today and talked
encouragingly OF local railroad i'm
less interest TO the general public than
the proposed new passenger and
freight depot. Moscrs. Ustick and
Maxwell came last night in Mr.
Ustick's car on No. 8 and left today
noon after making a pretty general
inspection of the Centerville proper
ties of the Burlington and after CON
ferring with the division officials, In
Guiding Supt. H. w Hamm, Road
masters Atherton and Cotter and
others
Mr.. Ustick said that the depot
matter was a comparatively new prop
osition to him. he having come to the
Missouri lines only eight months ago.
but that he recognized the need of
Improvements here and was pushing
the latter of new depot with, as he
believed, good prospects of success
1T depends, however" Mr. Ustick
sid, upon how circumstances shape
themselves. The final decision will
be made largely upon the state of
business and other factors which must,
of course, be taken into considera-
ton. Centeryille has been doing ell
by the Burlington and deserves recog-
nition and | do not doubt that her
claims will be given the utmost atten-
! ton when the company takes UP the
settlement OF its budget for the year.
1t must be kept in mind, however, that
there are many places making many
and large demands for improvements
and it would be impossible to grant
everything that is asked for
Mr.. Ustick's first words in an
swer to the anxious queries of the
reporter WHO had been admitted to
the private car ere rather a setback,
and it was full m mute before the
man with the pad and pencil real
lied that It Uas only joke
yes. We are here to inaugurate a
policy Of retrencirent,' said Mr..
Ustick. but before the interview was
over he had revived the dropping
spirits of the scribe with some in
teresting little stories.
Would you people lie a union de
pot?" calmly asked the railroad Of
fetal.
"Oh. you bet. calculated the re-
porter. with vision for something
bigger than he had ever dreamed of
'TWhy9" asked Mr.. Ustick. People
in Chicago and st. Louis and other
cities say union depot keeps travel
ers from going ont TO see the place
Personally, / would favor separate de-
pots. Would YOUR people help US to
buy a site at a reasonable COST"
The reporter prom sed thu Center
vile would see fair play and he wants
to be sustained.
Mr.. Ustick made some inquiries re-
garding depots. especially the Iowa
Central. and seemed to be interested
in knowing that there were connec-
tions whereby Central trains could be
brought 10 South Eighteenth treet
station over the Burllngto tracks.

After finishing a half day on the
ice, | asked Mr.. Hutmacher ii he
wanted me to return in the morning
and he said he did. The mex. morn
ing l rode to Fifth and Locust streets
on the street car and continued the
rest of my journey on foot, reaching
the ice house at GAS O'Clock. | put
in the entire day doing the various
kinds of work required of an employe
on the ice and the time passed very
pleasantly. | should have gone back
to work the next day. but on account
of several of my people being SER
iously i'll, l decided to quit my job
and remain in Quincy. These are
the fact of the unusual experience
of Rev. Rogers and he says that he
thoroughly enjoyed the work. MT.
Hutmacher evidently did net know
him when he applied for the job and
Rev. Rogers did not inform him on
that point. However the minister
was acquainted with number OF the
other employees and soon the news
spread, but Rev. Rogers and his fell
low workmen got along very agree
ably.
Rev. Rogers found Mr.. Hutmacher
to be good 'boss" and when the
machinery broke down, which caused
about an hours delay, the boss"
didn't lose his patience.
Rev. Rogers is an advocate of out.
door life.

beautiful women are destitute of COM

No gift from heaven is SO general as
the gift of beauty. In about nine
cases in ten it makes her silly, sense
less, thoughtless, giddy, vain, proud,
frivolous, selfish, low and mean.
We think we have seen more girls
spoiled by beauty than by any other
one thing. She is beautiful and she
knows it, is as much as to say she
il spoiled. A beautiful girl is very
likely to beneve she was made 10 be-
looked at; and so she sets herself up
for show at every window, in every
door every corner of the street, IN
every company at which opportunity
offers for an exhibition of herself
And believing and acting thus, she
soon becomes to be good for nothing
else, and when she comes to be -
middle aged woman she is that weak

The poorest girls in The world ere

thousands of them. Rich parents have
petted them,and they have been laugh
t. despise labor and to depend upon
others for a living, and are perfectly
helpless, The most forlorn women he
long to this class. 1t is the duty of
parents to protect their daughters
from this deplorable condition. They
do them a great wrong If they neg
lect it. Every daughter should be
taught to earn her own living. The
rich as well as the poor require this
Il aiming. The wheel of fortune rolls
swiftly around; the rich are likely to
become poor, and the poor rich.
Skill added to labor is no disadvant-
age to the rich, and is Indispensable
to the poor. Well-to-do parents must
educate their daughters to work. No
reform is more imperative than this.

Many Friendly Deeds

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day mamma was downtown, and
a girl asked mamma if she would give
her a pin to fasten her skirt. OF course
mamma gave her the PIN
The next time mamma and [ were
downtown the girl passed us, and she
nodded and smiled to us.
Mamma had forgotten all about the
pin, but the girl had not. Mamma has
to be friend in need about twenty
times a day to Dorothy and Floyd
and me.
My aunt is living with us now.
When she lived in Pomona she used TO
go automobile riding a great DEAL and
she said that whenever their auto
stopped on the road other autos going
by would always slow up and the peo-
pie would ask them If they could do
anything for them. l remember once
when l was playing on some walnut
cars with my cousin in Goleta. 1 tore
my dress badly, and woman that was
staying there sewed it UP for me.
I always thought that she was
friend in need, because If she had not
mended for me I would have had to go
home and missed all the fun that after
noon. Best wishes from your niece,
