Mr.. Netf returned home Monday

was entirely successful. AT St

cold weather driving him into the
caboose to get warm. The car
containing the horse was on the
rear end of long freight train
which stopped on the main line
near siding. The freight evi-
dently had orders to take the
siding and wait for IA passenger
train which was following to pass
But coal and water We're both low
on the freight engine and the crew
feared to pull in on the siding
because the engine might die
there and they be reprimanded
The conductor was trying to obtain
permission from the train dis
patchar to proceed to the next
station where coal and water could
be obtained He sent a brakeman
back to flag the passenger and at
tempted to run to the next switch
Owing to steep grade and the
crippled condition of the engine
the train could run but slowly.
I'd the conductors nervousness
constantly increased though he
said nothing 10 his passengers. His
actions made Mr.. Netf uneasy and
he stepped out onto the rear plat

falling making it difficult to see

The conductor lit signal fuse

them on the track and finally,

ran towards the approaching train

of the passenger train paid no
attention to the signals and when

A HeftY Babe.

A lot of fuss was made over the birth of princess to the royal house of Hol- land
 News dispatches tell how the heralds, accompanied by trumpeters clad in the ancient Dutch dress, made the rounds of the ancient city, halting in the principal squares, and then, after a flourish Of the trumpets, made this proclamation:
 Fellow Citizens-With great joy we announce the news that her Majesty by the grace of God has been delivered of princess Long live the queen! Long live the Princess of Orange!
 So anxious were the people over the announced advent of an heir to the throne of the Netherlands 1t Is said few Hollanders slept that night.
 Whereat some people in this country smiled.
 Why so much anxiety over one child?
 But
 When one realizes that the birth of no child to the queen, who married Prince Henry in 1901, would have passed the throne at her death to a German prince that is different.
 The Germans understood the signifi- canoe of the birth of this baby. And

you suppose this man felt, living daily in the dread of discovery?
 Here is a look into his soul:
 "No one can know the relief I felt when first the uniform of a convice was put upon me-a relief after twenty years of crooked work and deceit"
 Van Nlissingens words are the words of a man who sees nothing ahead of him but the four walls of cell, and they ar worthy your attention.
 The essenece of his warning is to be- W. e ol lne beginnings of dishonesty.
 One link in wrong-doing may not undo you, but one link added to another will forge a chain that some day will bind you hand and foot.
 One step down may not ruin you, but one step leads to another below it, and soon you are on the toboggan slide The descent to Avernus' becomes easy.
 Dishonesty betrays itself It cannot keep a secret.
 It must be so, young man
 Because this world and all that is in 1t, including men, were made to run along certain lines of rightness. Depart ure is abnormal. If you get off the track and keep going, nothing can pick you up but the wrecking crew.

king" of Chicago, have your ear a min ute.
 You might cut out these words of Van Vlissingen and paste them where you will see them often:
 Be honest in small things All crim- inals begin by practicing dishonesty in small things"
 Do not permit your conscience to be- come calloused. Once this takes place. your fall will be sure and certain.
 Be economical and never risk other peoples money in venture, no matter how certain of success you are
 ''Once you commit, a wrong make res- titution immediately. Delay means ruin"
 This is the story of Van Vlissingen:
 He was 8 leading real estate dealer known in business circles as Honest Pete" He was trusted to the limit. One day 1t was discovered that this man, looked up to as straight and successful, was a forger.
 He made and uttered forged paper to the enormous amount of $l,200,000
 The warning he gives to young men is wrung from his bitterest personal ex- perience. He began his forgeries in a small way. Once started, he had to cov- CT one forgery by mother. And how do

when the representatives of the German emperor conveyed to Queen Wilhelmina the assurance of Germany's well wishes over the birth of the child 1t was purely formal and without any heart in the words.
 Because
 Germany is just anxious for the control of the. mouth of the river Rhine as were we Americans in an early day for the control of the mouth of the Mis- sissippi.
 The Germans note with envy how the prosperous Dutch cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam fatten commercially on the enormous traffic originating on the Rhine river
 And they keenly realize that if Queen Wilhelmina should die childless her near est kin on the fathers side would be 8 German prince. And he would be king of the Netherlands.
 And
 On their side the Dutch fear absorp- ton by Germany. They are afraid of the heavy taxes and the military service.

Mothers Day.

Mothers Day. X HOTHER is queen of the May. MI In many places, especially in AV1 in the west, Mothers day which is coming to be a national event, was op- served for the first time
 In some of the cities churches were given over to the celebration of the day. Reverential tributes in the way Of ser mons addresses and exercises were given to the mothers of America.
 The emblematic flower of the day IS the white carnation.
 Which is significant
 Because the carnation was first cul- tivated as a flower 2oo0 years ago, the very period when the emancipation Of woman was begun,
 It is fitting that one. day should be given in honor of American motherhood. What gracious history From the little mother of Columbus, who inspired the voyages of the first American, down through the days of the pilgrim mothers of the Revolution to the days Of our own mothers, courage, and purity and faithfulness, have characterized the motn- CTS of Columbia
 However
 Reference Is not here made to those American women who detract from the dignity of womanhood by preferring 10 rear lap dogs rather than children, put to those real women, help-meets or Amer ican men and noble mothers of American youth.
 All hail to motherhoodi The saviour of the world in the crnclal hour of his agony on the crosss turned from his suffering and the momentous issues of his great life mission to say 10 John. Son, behold thy mother on tnat Hateful day on Calvary was motnernooa forever blessed.
 And Christian civilization does not forget
 Because civilization is beginning to see and know that pure and strong moth- CTS are fundamental to all the hopes for the advancement of the race.
 And yet
 How ungracious and stupid are we to- day in our maltreatment and neglect of mothers Oftentimes more attention IS given to the care of brute mothers for breeding purposes than to human mothers during their child bearing period
 Is is not so?
 We must change from such stupidity into an appreciation of motherhood. not only for the sake of the mother, but for the child and race.

Take Your -Wife,s Advice,

 ! If you contemplate taking some import wife-don't!
 Her intuitive insight may be worth more than your deliberate reasoning. Some one has said: When a man has toiled step by ster up flight of stairs he will be sure to find a woman at the top, but she will not be able to tell how she got there. ' man comes up to a conclusion by the slow steps of deliberate logic. 1n- stinctively the woman reaches 1t by a sin gle bound.
 Especially is the normal, average wo- man quick to see the right or wrong in- volved in a proposition. She jumps over subtle distinctions and evasive phrasing and lands on the firm ground of eternal righteousness:
 Ethically every woman is a seer.
 And especially clear are the eyes of a wife in any matter involving the well fare or the good name of her family.
 So, when in doubt, consult your wife.
 A wifes judgment is usually good in matters of business. Especially is she to be trusted where insight into human nature Is required. She will give you val uable counsel in the selection of a part ner or an important agent or representa- tive.
 Make your wife a close confidant in al things, especially If she is a wom- an of character and not one of the so- cial butterflies whose chief desire Is to show herself.
 Your wife's counsel may sometimes seem to be wrong, but events are apt to justify 1t.
 There was Victoria Colona a strong character of history. Her husband was a loyal friend of the great Charles V.- At one time, the former was offered the crown of Naples if he would join the league against Charles. Though strongly tempted, he asked his wife's advice, and she bade him spurn the proposal. Not every wife would have refused to be queen.
 But most wives would.
 Because the project meant base be- trayal and treachery, and the true heart of woman is turned against such busi- ness.
 You should seek your wife's advice be- cause she is your best friend and com- petent and honest counselor.
 Make her<a full partner.
 Take no important step of any sort without conference with her. She will help to clear away difficulties and may be able to suggest ways and means that might not occur to you. And she will be glad to share your confidence.
 Two heads are better than one," es- pecially If one is woman's head.

dulge no hopes of future accomplish ments. What can you expect? You will age rapidly both in body and in spirit.
 But if you keep a youthful soul by means of new memories, faces, ideas, hopes, you will not only keep old age in the background, but you will have sym pathy for the young and tolerance.
 You will not say, as so many elderly persons are apt to say:
 Well, people did things differently when I was young. Manners and cus- toms were better in the good old days"
 Rather you will ask yourself if you really did do better in your day and whether, after all, the world Is not grow ing better
 Above all, if you would keep young in spirit be careful your temper does not grow intractable. Do not become irasci- ble as you grow older. The manifesto tion of temper in an elderly person is not only very unbecoming, but it is dan gerous to him who indulges it.
 You should have learned to control your feelings. You should have learned how to cultivate the virtues of patience and tact and sympathy and charity.
 And, if so, you will realize the truth of the Scripture that while "the outer man decays, the inpner man Is renewed day by day.
 Grow old gracefully and graciously.

To a Young Girl.

l To Young Girl. What sort of girl are you? Do you say that is not pertinent ques- ton? But suppose am old enough to be
 your father and that I want to make you think just little and help you to be what you ought to be. I am not a mind reader. but I can tell you offhand what kind of girl you are, because You are fashioned by your ideals And what is an ideal? An ideal Is a mental picture of what you desire to be- or what you admire and want to copy. The picture of vision floats in your imagination. Now, 1t is a law of our life that we are changed, transformed into the like ness of that which we love or admire So you see 1t matters tremendously what your ideal may be. Who is your ideal? say "who" because a girls ideal is apt to be that of @ person. She sees some woman she admires, She wants to be like that person. And because of that desire she unconsciously initiates the person and is changed moro or less in- to the likeness of that person. Who is your ideal. my girlf Is she some gracious woman Of refined manners and correct speechf Does the lovely woman you admire so much bear herself with quiet dignity of true woman
  ality proceed from her true traits of character?
 If so, happy you. Either you are trying to copy some
 such ideal woman or you are content to follow some lower vision Maybe your ideal Is that of we'll dressed woman who is little more than
 shapely dummy on which to hang ex pensive gowns or fine millnery-a laced woman of high heels, big hats and little brains.
 hope not. I hope your ideal woman is one who dresses with simplicity and good taste and who, more than ell else, is a woman of pure mind, good heart and gentle manners.
 If your dream woman is less than that you should change your ideal. Make the vision of your true lady one whose quiet ways gentle tact and per sonal kindness proceed from a high re- gard for others, some noble woman whose generous, self denying disposition causes you to admire her by day and dream of her by night. And SO Was I wrong in saying I know the sort of girl you are? How to Keep Young. The way to keep young is to keep young in spirit That Is to say | If you want to renew your spirit you should cultivate the things that make for youth-new faces. new ideas, new memories, new hopes, new enthusiasms. If for instance, you cultivate only the old memories, breeding over them in the chimney corner, excluding the memories of yesterday and last week, your mind will form the trick of following the old channels, and you will come to live on the old memories exclusively. That means decay of mind and dissolution. OrA- If you withdraw yourself from the new faces, shrink from sociablity and, like a rat in his hole, issue forth only when you must, you will soon become a back number. Let this world alone for ever so short time and 1t will let you alone tor good and all. Or If you are inhospitable to new ideas your attention to the things of current interest will soon grow calloused. The p'',d grows by what it feeds on. Or
 Cease from your earnest endeavors, ''re-
 tire from business" make no plans, in-

Washington, March 12.-Republican senators of the committee on finance will begin a systematic study of the new tariff bill as soon. as copies are obtained. They feel the importance of pressing the measure to speedy de- termination. and Senator Aldrich. as chairman of the committee, said. he would make an effort to have the bill reported as soon as possible after it's passage by the house. The bill can not. of course, be officially considered by the committee as a, whole until after 1t has been passed by the house and transferred to tha sepate in the usual lorna! manner. It Is believea, however, that the house will make few changes in the bill after 1t is re- ported from the committee on ways and means and the Republican mem bers of the senate committee on f. nance felt that they have In the house bill as good basis for opera tions as they would have after that measure has received consideration in the house itself. It is expected many changes will be made in the senate and most of them are sug- ge sted by the finance committee.
