More Facilities Needed.

The railroads in our southland need more facilities, more engines, yards,
 branch lines, main tracks, double tracks, automatic signals, steel cars-but all such additions and betterments require capital. The capitalists of today, whether located in the north. south. east or west are

EDUCATION OF FRENCH GIRL.
First Care Is to Shield Her from All
knowledge of Evil.

Education is under the mothers
constant supervision. The Bible is
never put into child's hands. Scrip
tural history is very much bowdler-
lied, and no story is told in the works
reserved for the young that would i'm
ply that any of the kings of Judea
had ever been guilty of the slightest
indiscretion. The expurgation of pro-
fame history is still more complete,
and the average French girl grows
up with no idea that any scandal ever
occurred in the days of the Bourbon
kings. AS the "jeune file" advances
in years she may have male profess
sors of history, Latin, dancing or mu-
sic, but no carefully brought-up girl
is ever left aloIe with professor If
she wishes to pass examinations and
has to attend courses of lectures, she
is always accompanied by her gov
erness, who is bound to report if any
thing in any shape or form bordering
upon impropriety has been said.
When, therefore, a French girl first
goes into the world she knows very
little.-Iondon Saturday Review

OLD SOAKERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.

When a person has used coffee for a
number of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see wheth-
er or not that has been the cause Of
the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala, says she
used coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years was troubled with
stomach trouble.
Il have been treated by many physi-
clans but all in vain. Everything failed
to perfect cure. | was prostrated for
some time, and came near dying. When
l recovered sufficiently to partake of
food and drink tried coffee again and
it soured my stomach.
II finally concluded coffee was the
cause of my troubles and stopped u.s.
ing it. l tried tea and milk in its
place, but neither agreed with me, then
l commenced using Postum. l had it

bles and a way to get rid of them.

ting it to his ear. This time he called
up Sherry's, asked for the head-waiter,
and requested that person to be kind
enough to make his excuses to "Mr.
Cressy and party" he, Maitland, was
detained upon matter of moment,
but would endeavor to join them at a
later hour.
Then, with a satisfied smile, he
turned away, with purpose to dispose
of Bannerman's note.

O'Hagan's announcement fell upon
needless ears. Maitland remained mo-
tionless before the desk-transfixed
with amazement.
Baths ready, r!''-imperatively
Maitland reused slightly.
VERY well; in minute, O'Hagan."
Yet for some time he did not move.
Slowly the heavy brows contracted
over intent eyes as he strove to puz-
zle it out. At length his lips moved
noiselessly.
Am l awaken" was the question he
put his consciousness.
Wondering, he bent forward and
drew the tip of one foref1nger across
the black polished wood of the writing
bed. It left dark, heavy line. And

layer of dust, was the silhouette Of

go according to the dictates of their
consciences, unsupervised by neigh
borly women folk, unhindered by a
parasitic corps of menials not In their
personal employ.
Wherefore was Maitland astonished,
and the more so because of the season.
At any other season of the year he
would readily have accounted for the
phenomenon that now fell under his
observation, on the hypothesis that the
woman was somebody's sister or cous-
in or aunt. But at present that expla-
nation was untenable; Maitland hap
pened to know that not one of the 9th
er men was in New York, barring
himself; and his own presence there
was thing entirely unforeseen.
Still incredulous, he mentally conned
the list: Barnes, who occupied the
first fat, was travelling on the con-
tinent; Conkling, of the third, had left
fortnight since to join yachting
party on the Mediterranean; Bannister
and Wilkes, of the fourth and fifth
floors, respectively, were in Newport
and Buenos Aires.
"Odd!" concluded Maitland.
So it was. She had just closed the
door, one thought; and now stood
poised as II in momentary indecision
on the low stoop, glancing toward
Fifth avenue the while she fumbled
with a refractory button at the wrist
of a long white kid glove. Blurred
though it was by the darkiing twilight
and thin veil, her face yet conveyed

Immediately in fiannels.
When at length he was able to make
himself heard: Good enough" he said
clearly, though without raising his
voice. "Sherry's in an hour Right.
Now. behave yourselves"
Mind you show up on time!"
Never fear" returned Maitland over
his shoulder.
A witticism was flung back at him
from the retreating car, but spent
itself unregarded. Maitland's atten-
tion was temporarily distracted by the
unusnal-to say the least-sight of a
young and attractive woman coming
out of a home for confirmed bachelors.
The apartment house happened to
be his own property. A substantial
and old-fashioned edif1ce, situated in
the middle of quiet block, 1t con-
tanned but five roomy and comfortable
suites-in other words, one to a floor;
and these were without exception ten
anted by unmarried men OF Matt
lands own circle and acquaintance.
The janitor, himself widower and
convinced misogynist, lived alone in
the basement. Barring very special
and exceptional occasions (as when
one OF the bachelors felt called upon
to give tea in partial recognition of
social obligations), the foot of woman
never crossed its threshold.
In this circumstance, indeed, was
comprised the singular charm the
house had for its occupants. The
quality which insured them privacy
and quiet independence rendered
them oblivious to its many minor
drawbacks. its lack of many conven-
fences and luxuries which have of late
grown to be SO commonly regarded as
necessities. It boasted, for instance,
no garage; no refrigerating system
maddened those dependent upon it;
dissipated electric lighting system
never went out of nights, because 1t
had never been installed; no brass
bound hall boy lounged in desuetude
upon the stoop and took too intimate
and personal an interest in the ten
ants correspondence. The inhabi-
tants, in brief, were free to come and

A piano organ, having maliciously
sneaked up beneath his window, drove
him indoors with a crash of metallic
melody.
AS he dropped the curtains his eye
was arrested by CLEAN of white upon
his desk-a letter placed there, doubt
less, by O'Hagan in Maitland's abb
sence. At the same time, splashing
| and gurgling of water from the direc-
| tion of the bathroom informed him
that the janitor-valet was even then
preparing his bath. But that could

| Maitland took up the envelope and
tore the flap, remarking the name ana
address of his lawyer In its upper left
hand corner. Unfolding the inclosure,
he read a date a week old, and two
lines requesting him to communicate
with his legal adviser upon "a matter

Future Ideal Town,

In the ideal town of the future, as
pictured by Sir Oliver Lodge, the
houses will have gas for heating by
open fires and for cooking, and cleo
tricity for lighting. The gas, pro-
duced from the coal at the mine, will
be sent long distances through pipes,
as water Is now distributed. 1t Is
hoped that the experiment will be tried
soon, the burning of crude coal in town
being absolutely forbidden, and at least
two English towns are already consid-
ering the plan. The publication of
the air is one of the greatest needs in
the improvement of the conditions Of
city life.

(American News Service)

Omaha, Neb.. Dec. 1S.-With the
temperature ranging around 80 de-
grees below zero in the Wyoming
mountains and a twelve inch blanket
of snow covering the entire west, the
Trans Missouri country Is experience
ing one Of the coolest spells since
the government weather bureau sys-
TEN was extended westward Live
stock on the plains is suffering terrib-
ly and sheep are perishing by the
thousands in the foothills of the
mountains.
Green River, Wyoming, with a tenn
perature of 35 degrees below zero, is
the coolest point between Chicago and
San Francisco and other points in
Wyoming are experiencing the same
terrible degree of frost. Laramie,
Wyo, reports 25 degrees below and
Cheyenne, with a temperature of II
degrees below, is the warmest point
In the state. Out on the great cen
trail plateau the mercury has simply
gone to the bottom of the tube.
All Trains Are Late.
Railroad traffic of all sorts is tied
up and those trains which are getting
through are from ten to twenty hours
late. The cold in the mountains is
SO great that it is impossible to keep
. steam in the boilers. ----
In an effort to save the sheep,
which are cut off from foraging by the
deep snow, provender is being sent
from Omaha by the train loads. These
trains are given preference even over
passenger trains and with two loco
motives attached, are trying to get
into the sheep country before the
flocks are destroyed by starvation.
Moneta, Waltlan and Shoeshone,
three Wyoming towns where there are
many great flocks. were the destina-
ton of three trains loaded with corn
end alfalfa. which were started from
Omaha at noon today. The trains
will go through as express, each with
two locomotives attached. The great
packing companies of Omaha today
began packing twelve inch ice, this
being the earliest ice which has ever
been put up in Omaha.

CHARLES. Dunn IS
DOUBLE FOR MAYOR
Former Richmond Man Often
Mistaken for the De-
tr0it Executive.
OFTEN EMBARRASSES HIM
DUNN, UNTIL ABOUT FOUR
YEARS AGO WORKED IN THIS
CITY FOR UNCLE SAM, IN CA
PACITY OF A POSTMAN.

To bear a striking resemblance to
the mayor of large city like Detroit
is privilege not accorded to every
man. Yet such is the fame achieved
by Charles Dunn, of Detroit, former
ly of Richmond. and until about four
years ago employed as postman by
Uncle Sam at the local postoffice. 1t
is said that Mr.. Dunn is an exact
counterpart of Mayor Breitmeyer OF
Detroit and the close resemblance be-
tween the two men has its amusing as
we'll as embarrassing features.
Several days ago, Mr.. Dunn. who is
employed by the Consolidated >al
Mining company at Detroit, was walk
ing down the streets of the Michigan
City, when he was accosted by a man
who beckoned him mystcriously into
a private room of a near hotel and
began something on this order:
Tackled by a CRATER.
''Beitmeyer,' the stranger said ia
miliarly, I've got the greatest game
you ever saw for a little money. You
know that city land out near my place
we'll I want it to store coal on, see,
You can fix it up so l can get it easy
enough, and there's just 5000 profit
