reading, sending him west first, to aid
the surveyors, and later to enter the
shops, and then to run a locomotive.
Mr.. Hartman had planned to have his
son work in each branch until he
reached the top.
Young Hartman was at work in the
west when, the news of his fathers
serious illness reached him, together
with hurry call to the bedside of his
father.
Walter Hartman has many of the
characteristics of his father. He is
not boastful, he is thoughtful, not talk
alive and good listener. He is re-
maf 6ably decisive, much as his ia
Their was. He makes up his mind
quickly and acts accordingly. He
does not revel in the luxury that some
might think his fortune would lead
him into. He thinks no more of rid
ing in the ordinary passenger coach
or smoker of railroad than the hard
ened commuter does.
Now that young Hartman is face
to face with the business affairs of
his father, he contemplates plunging
into the science of railroading in the
hope that he may some day fulfill the
dreams that were Wizard" Harri-
mans when that practical master of
railroads peered into the future and
fancied he could see his boys grown
to manhood and capable OF taking
over the immense responsibilities that
go with the title of Rail King"

nj EW YORK.-The renaissance of

reached such stage that it is not to

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what tre-
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here's good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish Of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive IA
tigue. There is sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with

TO WEAR WARMER GARMENTS
Fashions for This Fall and Winter
Are Much More Sensible Than
Those of Last Lear.

Last fall and winter the garments
worn by most women of fashion were
not warm. In the first place, there
came the clinging sheath gown which
was worn without a petticoat in most
cases, and women of fashion actually
went forth in these clinging garments,
merely protected by thin coats and
furs, inadequate to their needs, to say
nothing of their comfort. This sea-
son everything indicates heavier ma
terials for jacket suits. Naturally the
skirts, which are plated, will be
heavier and warmer, and the gar
ments more sensiblely constructed
Already the new shapes are being
shown in furs. They are pretty and
include many new and original pat
terms. Extremely small pieces and
very large ones both figure in the
showing. A dealer says that black
furs will undoubtedly be the early
leaders, because they will be needed

Free Lunch Spreads Better Than Ever

ing 20 cents to the waiter got all the
food they wanted.
THAT was not the only way in
which the walters used the lunch to
their own financial profit. Office boys
used to come in from the buildings in
the neighborhood, give the waiter
quarter and carry off half dozen
roast beef or chicken sandwiches.
OF course that was dead loss to the
house as we did not even get the price
of glass of beer
Il recognized the free lunch depart
ment by hiring carver who not only
cut the meat but also served 1t on a
plate to the patrons who wanted
something to eat with their drinks.
That worked like charm. The aver.

Discussing beefsteak, as it appears,
say in the neighborhood of Broad

67 different places within a radius of

In each cafe one may find, conserva-
lively stated, one dozen varieties. The
grand total, therefore, is 804 different
grades, styles, manner or previous

To be explicit, there is the steak
carefully removed from the base of a

Soup should not contain fatty mat
ter, but should contain all other meat
properties. IL takes longer to make
soup II one sets the stock aside to cool
before using the liquid. 1t is best to
take muslin cloth, wiring 1t out OF
ice water and run the liquid through
it, The fatty substance will cling TO
the cloth. II meaty particles boil
through the soup, 1t clouds 1t. This
Is merely the boiled blood, and should
be skinned off as soon as 1t rises to
the top. Should It get into the liquid,
break an egg into the soup, stir 1t
around and when 1t boils 1t will come
to the top, bringing all substance with
it, 1t quickly clears muddy looking
