while dealers generally managed to
clean up. the market Will take Just so
much stun and no more. and as some

buying the tone Of the market was
rather easier than usual Butter was
steady but slow. Eggs are firm on

about as hard to get as fresh. Hogs

SAVED TRAIN AND VANISHED
Ragged Wanderer, Preserver Of Many
Lives and Much Property, Man
Of Modesty.

A few years ago a tattered old
tramp. walking along the track on his
way to Waterbury, Conn, came upon
a washout. The water main supply
ing the city of Waterbury had burst,
and the rushing water had cut a hale
through so feet Of the roadbed.
He had no sooner made the discov-
cry than he heard the whistle of a 10
connective far away round the curve.
Pulling OF his ragged coat, he dashed
up the track in the direction Of the
sound. Reaching the curve. he came
face to face with the train, which was
running at high speed. Standing be-
tween the rails, he waved his coat
frantically above his head and jumped
aside just in time to escape the wheels
of the engine. The train shot By him
with roar. and he believed his warn.
Ing had not been seen, and that 1t was
rushing on to disaster.
But the engineer had seen him and
the next moment the force Of the air
brakes threw the passengers from
their seats. As soon as he saw the
train was safe the old tramp turned
and disappeared into the woods: and
though the railroad company made Z
vigorous search for him they were uns
able to trace the vagrant who was the
hero of that day.

What Women Should Know.

Business sagacity should lead us to
acquire the training that will save for
us hours, weeks, and perhaps years of
painful and expensive experiment. BY
training" Is not meant simply perusal
of Hints to Housewives" in the Sun
day paper, nor. on the other hand. does
1t imply preparing to be an expert.
housewife need not be a chemist
in order to know that if one affords two
vegetables with the roast, they had bet
ter not be rice and potato; nor a
bacteriologist to know that a dish of
carbolic acid set out In the room has
no purifying action; nor fireman to
be familiar with simple devices for pre-
venting and extinguishing fires: nor a
manufacturer Of soap to know that this
particular and marvellous saponaceous
compound must fall short of producing
every result but the turning of the
wringer: nor an expert in knowledge of
polishing agents to discover that the
pink-colored silver cleaning liquid is
composed of whiting, ammonia, and
some coloring matter. Nor shall we be
so impracticable as to suppose that any
girl can master all the detail of sue
cessful household management after
studying rev DOCKS, or nearing rev
lectures on the subject.
Obviously, one must actually keep
house to have correct knowledge of it's
possibilities and probabilities. And,
just as the attorney and physician, only
after preliminary training may have
someone to practice with and on, SO
should the young woman have prelimi-
nary training that will give her a
working basis for her business of home
making.

A Moan Man.

The fond young wife. dressed in her
most becoming gown. with her hair ar
ranged to set off her beautiful face
perfectly. meets her husband at the
door when he returns from his daily
toll. She is solicitous as to his well
fare; she just knows be is tired to
death; she insists that he must put on
his slippers and be comfortable. The
dinner is composed of the things he
likes most, and his wife chats merrily
to him during the meal 1t is the re-
alNation of his ideal Of what a home
and a homecoming should be. After
dinner she leads the way to the coy
library, where his favorite chair Is
drawn up where he will get the best
light; his favorite magazine is ready
for him and some of his favorite ci-
CARS wait on the library table. WHEY
perches herself on the arm Of his chair,
lights his cigar for him and Is just
about to say something when he looks
up at her knowingly. takes a magazine
from his pocket. opens 1t to an article
explaining how best to breach the
subject OF new hat to a husband and
says, II certainly enjoyed that dinner,
but I read the program on the way
home In the cnr."-Chicago Post.

the N, Y, p. & O., the forerunners OF

roadmaster. was fond Of saying.
Mr. Latimer," said Engineer Main

into account the maintenance feature.
He was the original maintenance man.
1t was upon his order that all along

Farmers along the line Of the Erie

any of them wanted to locate q well

Milwaukee road. Merrill was peppery
and inclined to domineering, and when
he saw the bill he asked in violent
language by whose authority 1t had
been incurred. Young Underwood was
brought in and a lively scene followed.
The general manager declared that
the company would never pay the bill
and finished with THAT ends IT." &C

on the table that shook the chande-

WELL" returned Underwood. III the

"You will?" sneered Merrill. Glow
will you pay it?"
Il have twelve hundred friends in
Milwaukee, and every one Of them will
give a dollar for the purpose" said
Underwood, and off he went
Wouldn't bluff, would he?" said
Merrill to his secretary as soon as he
had gone. Have him certify to the
bill, and then pay it."
A few years after that Underwood
was on Merrills staff.

BosT1NG IOWA.


Iowa has been bountiful benefactor
to all outlying territory. II has staked
the Dakotas, Canada, Colorado. Texas,
California and all the newer states to
millions of money and brigades of
settlers, and kept open house for dis
heartened adventures who have come
back on their uppers to spend the WIN
ter with their wives folks.
After a rain and the roads have been
worked" according to the mode a
man can go out from Sibley and wade
hub deep in the richest soil in christen-
dom The chances are that the first
and the second and the third men he
meets will be boosters for the blue
sky and se1ni-arid lands of the west, the
parched plains of Arizona. and the
southwest or the shivery suburbs of
Medicine Hat. The newspapers of the
state are filled With glowing pictures of

alive with land agents anxious to steer

WHICH is WHICH?

At Elgin Speaker Cannon said,
among other things. These people I'M
Ter the leadership of Senator'S Cum
Minis and LaFollette call themselves
republicans. If they are then I am
something else"
That is a fair shake" and a com
mon ground upon which to Join issue
except that ii lacks honesty as most
of Cannon's arguments lack honesty.
Let US add the twenty congressman
and senators who opposed the program
of Canon and -Aldrich Senator Dolli-
YER certainly belongs with these. He
was a thorn in the side of Aldrich and
potent in opposition 70 the Aldrch
program. Let us not forget Beveridge
and the others. And let US include
Bristow and the congressman who
made a name and a decent fame for
themselves over the west. Then the
comparison and the showdown NAV
proceed
The fact is that despite his forced
leadership Cannon is something else
He is something of much less value to
the party and the nation and the flu
ture of the party and nation. His
reading out Of these mer would be a
sose were it not insulting to the in
tefligent thought Of a majority of the
republican west. Cannon is a politician
and by reason of propinauity and com
plaasance is afloat upon d very pow
erful undercurrent in republicanisr
He and his do not represent the repub-
iicanism Of the republican party. They
represent the Journalism of the party
They are something else
Unless all signs of the times fail
Mr.. Cannon will be something else than
leader and a power in republican
policies very soon His rule is practi-
cally over. Cannonism has become IN
sndurable and the coming leaders 81
the party will be vastly al variance
with his kind
