of ships on the northern lakes depend
on us to a larger degree than do other
sailors, because we can more accurate

greatest upon the earth it will flow to

Our instruments Of measurement are
so perfect that we can figure out the

low pressure elsewhere. We foretell
wind storms on the lakes, while along
the Atlantic Coast we give warnings
about West Indian hurricanes.

This coarse insult went straight to
the soul OF the youth. Tis blood tin
gled in his veins. There was a tight
ening' around his heart of something
which was out of place In the bosom
of a Quaker. A hot reply sprang to
his lips, but died away as he glanced
at the woman, and saw her face man
tied with an angry flush,
Gained by her silent sympathy, he
quietly replied: Friend, | have no de-
sire to annoy thee, but l have been
taught that the love Of money is the
root of all evil and believing as I do
I could not answer thee otherwise than
l did"
Well, well, reckon you are more to

rot, What can a young fellow like
you know about life, shut up here in
this seven -by-nine valley, like a man
in a b-b-barrel looking out of the BIB
bung hole?"
Offended and disgusted, the Quaker
was about to turn upon his heel; but
he saw in the face of the mans beau
tiful companion a look which said
plainly as spoken words, Il. too, de-
sire that You should go with u.s."
This look changed his purpose, and
he paused.
Listen to me now" continued the
doctor, observing his irresolution.
You think you know what life is; but
you dddon't! Do you know what
gg- great cities are? Do you know
what 1t is to p-p-possess and to spend
the money which you d-d-despise? Do
you know what it is to wear fine
clothes, to see great sights, to go where
you want to and to do what you PIP
please?"
Il do not, nor do I wish to, And
thee must abandon these follies and
sins, if thee would enter the Kingdom
of God" David replied, fixing his eyes
sternly upon the face of the blasphem-
er
Good bye, d-d-dead man! I have
always hated c-c-corpses! I am going
where men have red b. b. blood in their
veins
With these words he turned on his
heel and started toward the carriage
leaving David and Pepeeta alone. Nei-
ther of them moved. The gypsy ner-
vously plucked the petals from a daisy
and the Quaker gazed al her face. Dur
ing these few moments nature had not
been idle In air and earth and tree
top, following blind instincts, her myr-
lad children were seeking their mates.
And here, in the odorous sunshine of
the May morning, these two young,
impressionable and ardent beings,
yielding themselves unconsciously to
the same mysterious attraction which
was uniting other happy couples. were
drawn together in union which time
could not dissolve and eternity, per-
haps, cannot annul.

DOGS AS PASSENGERS.
Hard Problem Considered by Inter-
State-Comm Commi ssiOn.

Tribulations are besetting the dog.
AS a traveller, while he is not an out
cast, he and his owner are subject, on
many steam and electric railways, to
regulations that amount to cruelties,
a Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Telegram says.
1t is not unlikely that the interstate
commerce commission in the near fu-
ture may be called upon to provide
uniform regulations for the carrying
of dogs on interstate trains. The rules
governing the transportation Of dogs
are merely what each individual line
proposes to make them and a move
ment has been begun to bring about
reform regulations that will be fair
to passengers and just to the dogs.
Some railroads charge a specified
fare for a dog; others transport the
dog as baggage and yet others make
no charge, although they differentiate
between little dogs and big ones. A
few lines permit the owners Of small
dogs" to take them into the passenger
cars with them; other lines relegate
all dogs to the baggage cars, where
they are in danger of being crushed
by falling trunks; and in some in
stances the roads require that a dog
shall be Grated, whether placed in the
baggage car or carried by the owner.
In practically every case a permit
must be obtained.
Commissioner Prouty of the inter
state commerce commission, in let
ter replying to a recent inquiry as to
whether the regulation OF the Pullman
company that dogs shall not occupy
the car is a just and reasonable one,
said:
Il am inclined to think it Is and
that the company is not obliged to
distinguish between a small dog and
a large one, for the reason that it
would be impossible to draw the line
If any dogs were permitted in the car.
The writer has a dog of his own,
which is small and inoffensive and
which he transports every year from
Washington to Newport, Vt. While
am certain this little dog would in
convenience nobody | have always
thought best to submit to the regula-
ton Of which you complain"

There's No Other Way.

The old adage that Money makes
the mare go" has a counterpart In the
truism that advertising creates and
holds business. What man of ordi-
nary common sense engaged in busi-
ness in this day and generation would
think, or have the right to think. OF
success without liberal publicity
through that best of all advertising
mediums, the local paper? Sacred his
tory records that there is time for
all things" and when that truthful
sentence was penned if 1t was not
meant that advertising should be per-
ennial there was lack Of foresight
that his since been made manifest.
The smallest merchant in the small
est town, even though he may be the
sole occupant Of the field. will soon
flnd there Is no field whatever If the
matter of spreading printers ink is
overlooked or ignored. Trade that by
right should come to him will be di-
verted in the direction of a rival town,
where the spirit Of enterprise above
and beyond all takes into considera-
ton the power of the press as a dis
tributor OF information that the pub
lie desires to know before parting
with their dollars, that they may be
placed where they will do the most
good
Without advertising there Is no sure
thing to success. 1t has been demon
strated by piles of musty goods on
dusty Shelves by out-ofdate fabrics
that nobody wants at any price, and

A POPULAR SUPERSTITION.
Origin and Basis for Belief in Ill
Luck of Friday.


The bad luck supposed to attach tc
Friday is said to be traceable to the
worship of the goddess Freya, the We
nus of the north, who felt herself
sighted If anyone began a journey or
this, her festival. In punishment fol
the dishonOr thus brought upon her
Freya was wont to direct misfortune
to assail the offender, 50 that it came

Scotland are said to take place on that
day. In Walsh's "Curiosities of Pop
ular Customs" is told the story of the
brig, Friday, of Wilmington, whose
builder defied superstition' by giving
her this whimsical name and launch
ing her on Friday. He also sent her
upon her first voyage upon the sixth
day of the week, but on the succeed
ing Friday a home-bound vessel saw
the hull of the brig pitching heavily
in the trough of the sea, while her

last of the Friday" concerning whose
fate the shipbuilder's wife merely said
when she heard Of it: Il told thee
so, Isaac. This is all thy sixth-day
doings Now thee sees the conse-
quences.'
Another reason for the supposed
unluckiness of Friday lies in the cru
cifixion of Jesus on that day. 1t Is
from a similar historical source, in
deed, that the thirteen" superstition
Is believed to have sprung; a natural
distaste grew up for the number rep
resenting the circle of the disciples
with the addition of Judas. Yet II
seems as IL by this time the world
might be willing to forget its ancient
superstitions and regard every day

SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS.
Bv Clarence L. Cullen.


The average fat woman would rath-
er have you call her murderess than
to say that she waddles.
Money makes the mare 60" but
what member Of the mares family goes
out and gets the money?
The woman who essays to hold her
husband by a short-strapped halter
needs first to be pretty sure OF her hal
ter's material.
The so-termed Intuition" of women
doesn't prevent a lot of them from
nicking out mere fourfushing grand
stand players as spouses.
Why is it that some married women
sniff contemptuously when they read
about a man who has killed himself
because his wife has refused to re-
turn to him?
Ever notice how, after you've once
told a woman that she has a roseate
mouth, she keeps biting her lips and
twiddling them with her fingers all
the time to keep 'em red?
d
hears that song, Il Love My Wife, but
Oh. You Kid" it's fairly safe to con-
clude that everything isn't exactly as
it should be up at her house.
Did you ever suffer a certain whim-
sy little pang over the promptness with
which your normally forgetful wife
reminds you to pay your life insur-
ance dues when the time comes round?
You may know that woman has
developed elephantiasis of the skypiece
over the imaginary beauties of her
"figger" when she wears pair of these
tight-laced tube corsets underneath her
bathing suit.
A new thought woman OF our ac-
quaintance tells US that she can will"
her husband to come home immediate
IL from anywhere she wants to. Ap-
parently, though. she never wants to.
for he always comes home just about
when he gets ready to.
