figure.
If tongue could have spoken his love
as eloquently as his eyes Concordia's
matchmakers would have ceased to
worry.
Then suddenly Jethro went away.
Connected with his departure was no
incident, but his return was eventful
To be sure, he planned to spend a
week end with his grandmother, but
to Concordians journey of 200 miles
was something more than an event,
and practically the whole town saw
Jethro off,
1t gave him rather good opinion Of
himself, and he bore himself with dig
nifty on the journey. He assumed the
airs of a traveller of long experience,
and when the time came for his return
he approached the railroad station
with none of the embarrassment he
had felt when he went to take the
train at Concordia
He even fingered on the platform
until the last moment instead Of climb
ing aboard the train the moment it
pulled into the station. With blase
air he let one or two cars slip past
him, and he swung himself aboard by
the rail of the rear platform.
He threw open the door and passed
through the corridor of the sleeper.
In the wash room half dozen men
were playing cards with a suit case
for table. Most of them were coat
less, and their collars and ties had
been removed in the heat of the game.
Jethro hurried on. He did not want a
seat in the sleeper; it cost more mon
ey.
He knew that the day coaches we're
just ahead and vaguely wondered why
one sleeper should be in the rear when
all the others were up front ahead of
The ordinary coaches. When he issued
from the corridor he stood rooted to
the floor in amaZement
Instead of the decorous, well groom
ed city travellers he had expected to
find. some twenty fashily dressed wo-
men were scattered through the car
As he appeared one tiny little wo
man with hair obviously bIeached sci
up cry Of Look who's here!' and
! the other nineteen obeyed the com
mand. Now. even city man may well
quail before twenty actresses. What
chance had Jethro against their rail
lery7
He was good looking. with an ath
! letic figure. but his clothes and his
manner bespoke the man Of the small
town. His confusion was immensely

Union Pacific Passenger Train No. 8

The colonist rush westward has
started in heavier than ever before at

to relieve the congestion of homeseek-

On the Rio Grande system. there

CONDUC OR
WRITES A
NOTE
OBJECTS TO BEING INFORMED
AS TO "sPoTTERS."
Railroad Official Says There Are Good
and Bad in All VocatIons and
This Conductor is Sensitive.

With a view OF giving the subject
wide publicity among those interest
ed, the Standard on Tuesday last pub
liBhed an article in reference TO rail-
road conductors being prosecuted by
the Interstate Commerce commission
for collecting "short fares" from pas
sengers, In violation OF the federal
law governing and regulating trans
portation rates. and cited the penal
ties attached for the infractioD OF the
Hepburn act. There was no intention
or purpose OF reflecting on the hon
esty or integrity OF any class OF in
dividuals. but the article evidently
grated on the supcrscnsitive nerves OF
some alleged railroad man. who indit-
ed the following anonymous note to
the Standard;
Ogden, Utah, March editor
Standard: Dear Sir-Kindly send the
narrow-minded pInhead, who wrote
the article in last nights paper, Con
ductors in Great Danger, a case OF
lemons and charge 1t to. ETC. We
might add that we are perfectly aware,
that Thief or Thieves are libal to the
law. however we think your kindly
place"
With view of getting an express
sion OF opinion on the subject from
the different superlntendents of the
various roads centerlng at Ogden, a
Standard reporter submitted the
unique and curiously constructed note
to local operating officials. who said:
"The article published in the Stand
ard, and to which this note refers,
Is In no sense a reflection on any
honest man in the employ of the rail-
road companies. On the contrary, It
simply puts conductors and other en-
penalty attaches to any violation OF
the Interstate Commerce law Like
other employees of every department of
railroad system, there are honest
men and dishonest men-and no de-
partment is free from either of these.
IL there were no dishonest employees
in the service, there would be no ne
cessity for railroad managers and op-
Grating officials to pay out thousands
OF dollars every month In the employ
ment Of secret service men, detec-
tives, 'spotters'-or even train agents
And yet 1t is done and the espionage
system is maintained regularly be-
cause 1t is profitable on the part of
the railroad management to do so.
The fact is railroad corporations
are regarded as legitimate prey for
those OF a grating disposition
whether the latter Is in the service
of railroad corporation or engaged
in other business on the outside
There are lots of men-plenty OF them
who would not think of stealing from
a private corporation OF person, but
who do not hesitate to dip In and
help themselves OF money and prop
erty belonging to railroad company
when they can do so with reason
able doubt OF being detected in the
act.
AS before stated, we can see moth
ing in the Standard article that would
either insult or annoy an honest man
wherever he is found, and II the au-
thor Of the note was as sensitive as
he would have you believe, he would
devote his leisure time to a night
school course, and improve his men
tai capacity

Mrs. Post Wheeler has what perhaps
no other woman in the United States
hss-a Japanese wedding ring For
Halle Erminie Rives. as she is known
to the literary world. was married in
Japan to Post Wheeler. secretary Of
the American legation. Although the
Episcopal ceremony was used she
chose the Japanese marriage symbol
In preference to that of her own coun.
try. It is little wider than the or
dinary band and is beautifully carved
In oriental design. Between the chased
work are inserted Japanese charac.
ters that read: MY beloved is mine
and l am his" This is the favorite
sentiment for tho oriental wedding.
This sentiment is repeated several
times around the band.
