SOME MORE HAIL
 STORM ESTIMATES
stones Weighing Ten Pounds Is Said to Have Fallen This Week in Texas
 A Most Interesting Storm.

ADout 2O days ago a hail storm visited section of the state a lew miles north of Fulton on the Iron Mountain, It followed a path three miles wide stripped the trees bare of foliage and bark ana covered the ground to a depth of 10 inches. No deaths however, were reported and the uoWnpour was accompanied by uttle wind and no rain. Now the interesting feature of this hail storm was the extraordinary size of the hail stones some of which were reported to have been as large as a mans fist and several as large as cocoanuts, weighing rom l to ? pounds
 Members of train crews who passed through the storms path shortly following the visitation confirmed these estimates upon their arrival in Texarkana and Little Rock and gave some start Ing figures in connection with !
 Notwithstanding this, however many doubted the truth of the statements and believed the re. ports exaggerated. The Little Rock Gazette printed an editor. lal giving some scientific cstIm- ates upon the size of hail stone, and stated that none had ever been reported larger than a goose egg and that such hai' | stones did not fall in Arkansas Now we wonder what the skep. ties will think of the followinp account of a hail storm in Soutl Texas.
 "Galveston, Tex, May 1S- Ar unprecedented hailstorm Monday ln Ovalde county cost at least eight lives-James Carpenter, 7( years of age and seven Mexican hired hands while many were injured and from 1900 to 2OOC head of live stock killed.
 The hail stones were like can non balls, weighing six pounds some weighing ten pounds. They | measured from ten to seventeen inches in circumference and fel for thirty minutes in two storm' about two hours apart.
 "Rumors of many more persons killed are not confirmed Search ing parties are out securing tht ranges.
 "Lasalle county also suffered from the heaviest hailstorm in it. history and the monetary dam age there to property alone il estimated at $2O0,OOO. No loss O life is reported and the loss % | live stock is not great,

LOVES. OF MEN AND WOMEN.
Writer In American Magazine Ole
eusses Question Of tho Be-
stowal Of Affections.

Nov I am going to say something
that many people will dispute: When
a woman, one who really Is woman.
has once truly and deeply loved
man she can never wholly stop loving
him. For that man she will always
feel a certain tenderness. l still have
great tenderness for Frank And 1
have. too, an even greater pity. Per-
haps pity him chiefly because he
has never for one moment suspected
how felt toward him. He could not
possibly conceive of my being rebel
lious. If he were to read these words
1t would not occur to him that ! could
have written them. In spite of all his
shrewdness, which makes him see so
clearly into the weaknesses of bust
ness men. he has never doubted my
loyalty. I could have friendships with
dozen men and he would not raise a
question even in his own mind. That
confidence is dear to woman, even
II she knows that she does not de.

drops out, printed with the names of

With this system in use, there can be

schwab,s Guest Train.

The "Schwab Special" the train
that brought seventy-flve Detroiters
to South Bethlehem recently as the.
guests of Charles M. Schwab, presi-t
dent of the Bethlehem Steel company,
cost $2,348, according to the statement
of Lehigh Valley railroad official
here.
The train was most luxurious. There
were the Club car" the diner, four
Pullmans and Mrs. Schwab's private
car, Loretta, one of the handsomest
and most completely furnished on
wheels. Seventy-three men were en-
gagged in running the train, including
the engine crews, with the different
changes, conductors, walters, chefs,
porters and brakemen. Both the
Grand Trunk and Lehigh Valley rail
roads had travelling representatives
aboard and extra mechanics were also
On board.

CONDUCTOR A HARD WORKER.
He Duties Are Many, and They Call
for Ability Away Above the
Average.

AS conductor he will probably b.
gin in the freight service. His ca.
boose will be travelling office and
more than that 1t will carry all the
gossip OF the division up and down
the line. 1t may be homely little
car, but 1t is just as sure to be a
homelike place. From its elevated
outlook he may command good view
OF the train away head to the engine,
and he will be supposed to know all
the while that the brakemen are at.
tending to their duties; that the train
is in good order, particularly that
there are no hot boxes smoking away
and in. imminent danger of setting
fire to the train and its valuable con-
tents. There Is a deal of bookkeep-
Ing to be accomplished in that travel
ing office, says Edward Hungerford In
Outing. The conductor will receive
the way bills of the cars of his train
and their contents, and he is held re-
sponsible for their safe deliveries to
their destination or the junction
points where they are to be delivered
to other lines.
When he comes to the passenger
service there will be still more book.
keeping to confront him, and he will
have to be man of good mental at
tainments to handle all the many,
many varieties OF local and through
tickets, mileage books, passes and
other forms of transportation con-
tracts that ocme to him, to detect the
good from the bad, to throw out the
counterfeits that are constantly being
offered to him. He will have to carry
quite a money account for cash
fares, and he knows that mistakes
will have to be paid for out of his own
pocket
All that is only phase of his bust
ness. He is responsible for the care
and safe conduct of his train, equally
responsible in the last respect with
the engineer. He also receives and
signs for the train orders, and he is
required to keep in mind every de-
tail Of the trains progress over the
line. He will have his own assert
ment of questions to answer at every
stage of the journey, and he will be
expected to maintain the discipline
of the railroad upon its trains. That
may mean in the one instance the
ejectment of a passenger who refuses
to pay his fare-and still he must not
involve the road in any big damage
suit-or in another, the subjugation
of some gang of drunken loafers. The
real wonder of it is that so many con-
ductors come as near as they do to
the Chesterfieldian standards.
