T was going to Patchogue," said a woman at the Waldorf, when I saw sitting near by a little girl with her mother, the mother evidently for eigner, the child born in this eoun- try, both surrounded with bundles in the foreign way The child was six. The conductor came along and the child of six held out the tickets

 'I watched her until the two ar rived at their destination, and think I have never seen a more polite little girl or more seemingly dutiful daugh- ter. It was quite evident to my mind that she meant no disrespect to her mother by calling her by what would seem to us to be an opprobrious epi- thet. She had merely adopted one of our slang words as the very best of English. New York Press.

Commission Appealed to Set Lirlts.

Little Rock.-One most important case on the docket of the last regu- lar meeting of the State Railroad Commission was that regarding the establishment of switching limits at all stations in the state. This peti- tion, which was presented by the Lit tie Rock Merchants Freight Bureau, on behalf of the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing Company and the Big Rock Stone and Construction Com pany, charged that by means Of charge of about cents per hun dred for the moving of freight to cer- tain sidings, the railroads had in- creased the switching charges from S2.50 to as high as S6 per car. It is proposed to fix the limits, within which he railroads shall be entitled to charge a fixed amount for the switching of car. The matter was taken under advisement by the rail- road commission.

New Road Law Approved.

Berryville.-The passage of the bill creating special road districts in Carroll county seems to be meeting with general approval Judge J. B. Dodson, who held county court re- gently, reports that at least 90 per cent of the voters represented in 34 districts in the county petitioned for road districts, and the petitions were granted by him. Under this law, wherever a majority of the qualified voters in any school district petition the county court, asking that the district be made a special road dis trict the county court must grant the petition. The voters in the dis trict also elect their road oversRers the same as they do the school di- rectors at the May election each year.

Hotel Check Worker In Arkansas JaIl

Texarkana.-Several days ago B.. F. Quarles was given a preliminary trial before Justice Higginbotham on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses from the Huckins House, this city, and in default of s1 .000 bond was remanded to jail to await the action of the grand jury, which convened this week. It is al legged that on April 23, Quarles in duced the Huckins House, where he was stopping, to cash worthless draft for s35. The police have large number of telegrams from hotels in various parts of Texas, Arkansas, Ok lahoma and Alabama, alleging that the accused had defrauded them by the same means of sums ranging from s25 to s100, within the last three months.

 No woman should submit to a surgi- cal operation, which may mean death, until she has given Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, made exclusive ly from roots and herbs, fair trial.
 This famous medicine for women has for thirty years proved to be the most valuable tonic and renewer of the female organism. Women resid- ing in almost every city and town in the United States bear willing testi- mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It cures female ills, and create Hadi- ant, buoyant female health. Pu are ill, for your own sake as we d as those you love, give it a trial.

Man Found Dead and Robbed.

Camden.-Mose Levi, a venerable Hebrew of about 65, who kept a lit tie family grocery store on Jackson street at the crossing with the Iron Mountain railroad tracks, was found dead at o'clock Saturday night in his store with two dirk wounds in his neck, one in either side. The motive of the crime is supposed to be robbery, but there is not a single clue as to the identity of the mur- derers and officers are at a loss how to make a start in search of the crim- inals.

Or Youthful Sailors Vocabulary Limited, Judging by His c6l
 versation.

He was sailor boy of about IS, and his companion - probably his girl cousin-seemed to have met him at the station and to be conducting him to spend some of his leave at her home. Evidently the boy had been to see his parents and was satisfied with their general condition, for the conversation went nke this:
 And how is your father?"
 "Oh, he's all right" 7fBE
 And your mother?"
 "Oh, she's all right"
 How did Lucy get on at school? She must be big girl now.'
 "Oh, she's all light"
 Are the boys quite weil?"
 "Oh, they're all right"
 There was quite long pause after this, and then the girl tried again However do you sailors manage to live on ship?' she said. You must find it very monotonous." For the first time the sailor smiled. He answered the earliest part of the question by shaking his head "Oh, we're all right" he explained. - Manchester Guardian.
