thought she would end that way.
She always knew so much more
than her mother, and always
thought her mother too strict.
Of course it hasn't come to
that yet. But it's along in that
direction-just down at the tt rn
of the road to the left. There S
the bend in the river; there is
where they will throw the suit
case; and yondel under the straw
pile by the barn-there they will
bury the head; perhaps your
pretty head with all that light in
the eyes; with all that red on
your lips, with all that glow on
those cheeks your pretty head
would not come out from that
straw pile looking as it looks to-
day.
1t is not pleasant; still you are
not pleasant to look at, my dear,
for all these things are written
upon you; and you're pretty girl

just don't. You understand.

Look Forward

William Allen White in Empor-
ia Gazette: You are a pretty girl.
my dear; we will admit that, an
unusally pretty girl. You are
striking, you have a figure, and
when you pass the hotel the men
turn to look at you, and you have
the front room lighted up four
nights in the week. There is no
doubt of your popularity none
at all, my dear; so you don't have
to have to urge that as an excuse
for the way you are going. And
you know how you are going
so does everyone else in town.
And IS too bad; you insist on ac-
centing the fact that you are a
She-creature. Your dress, your
gait, your general air and atti-
tude is that of a female rather
than that of a person, and when
man is around, if you could see
the way you act you would blush;
it isn't one man in particular
just any old pair of trousers.
Good Lord, girl, stop flirting
and get some sense. Take off
that dress that outlines your fig
ure until you look naked, and put
on clothes like other women.
Don't say that those clothes
make you look stylish; what they
do is make you indecent. Don t
devote so much time to the fact
that you wear petticOats, and
spend a little time considering
yourself as human being.
OF course. we know you are
| smart, my dear; you know lot
"a lot of things you have no bus
mess knowing and that shows al
so. If you knew what is written
on your face you would be asham-
ed to go out doors; but it is all
there everyone of those vain
things fill your silly head. And
where your treasure is there
your heart is. As one thinketh
so he is, and you are so plainly in
evidence that it is pitiful how you
advertise yourself.
OF course it's fun; you are hav-
ing a good time; it's all innocent
/ fun and you know how to take
care of yourself. They all do
these smart girls; and the good
time gets closer to the edge; but
stolen waters are sweet, and
bread eaten in secret-but you
don't care to have scripture
quoted to you. Still it is true
and it is the wisdom of the ages.
/ And you are someone's pride
and Joy; your father doesn't see
what the other men see; your
mother may see and fear and
perhaps she is trying to make
you see, too; but you think she
is SLOW You don't think she
ever has good time You think
she is too strict.
But no girl who was ever cut

The New Food

Alfalfa meal is likely to soon
be a. the grocery stores just the
sam IS flour or oat meal or
Une Biscuits. Thu cooking
scht have discove a that al
falfa meal has more nuuritlve val
ue than flour and that is not hard
on the stomach. The results of
the continued use of this kind of
food are said to be rather re
markable. One woman fed her
husband on alfalfa biscuits every
day for three months. At the
end of that time he was growing
a name like horse and whinny
with satisfaction whenever his
wife would announce that dinner
was ready. At the end of the
third month he insisted on wear
ing a check rein and developed
considerable speed as natural
PAGER. He took the family horse
out of the shafts, had himself
hitched in place of the family
driver and before he had gone a
mile playfully kicked out the
dash and ran away with the bug
gy.
His wife says alfalfa is alright
as stock food but that she wants
no more for household purposes.

A Poor Editor

Here is a good joke on an edit
or who went one evening to re-
port party at a home recently
blessed with a rev baby. He
met his hostess al the door and
after the usual sa utation he ask
ed after the baby ) health. The
lady was quite deaf and suffered
from the la grippe, though he
asked after her cold, and answer
ed that although she usually had
one every winter, this was the
worst one she ever had; it kept
her awake a great deal of nights,
and at first confined her to the
bed Then noticing the newspa-
per man was getting nervous,
sha could tell by his look that he
was going to have one too and

WAITRESS ON DINING CAR
Pretty Woman a Feature of an Iowa
Cafe on Wheels

From the Sioux City Journal.
Mrs. Alma GARNER of Carroll. Iowa, has
the distinction of being one of the few
Mattresses on a dining car in the United
States. Mrs. GARNER does the serving on
the diner between Sioux City and Carroll
on the Northwestern road. In assuming
the difficult task of waiting table on a
swaying diner Mrs. GARNER adds another
TO the many new vocations offered to
women.
The little waitress says she likes her
job; that people are nice to her, and she
is going to stay at it," She has been on
months. and her appearance has been a
revelation to many of the wearied tray
elers who enter the diner for a meal as
much to pass away the time as to satisfy
an appetite.
Even though the waitress name be-
gins with a Mrs" her position pos
sesses it's romantic side. On the same
car with her works as steward a dap
per, black haired young man of whom
she appears to take no more notice
while at work than of any of her GUS
TONERS. Inat man is nef husband, A.
ma GARNER.
Before coming to western Iowa Mr..
GARNER was employed in one of the big
restaurants of Chica go. 1t was while he
was there that r. r. Matters, super
intendent Of dining cars for the North
western, asked GARNER to take a job
as steward on one of his dining cars
GARNER said he was married and could
not. He did not want to be away from
his wife.
Mr.. Matters nept asking GARNER to
accept q railroad position. and GARNER
finally said, as much in spirit of hu-
NOR as of seriousness, that he would
come west and go on a diner if Mr.
Matters would get his wife job. too
Two weeks later Mr.. Matters told him
he had decided to let Mrs GARNER and
her husband have tryout on a diner
between Sioux City and Carroll.
The tryout over, and Mr.. and Mrs
GARNER have made good They can
stay on the diner in which they now
work as long as they wish. says Super
intendent Matters who now Is thinking
of trying women on other runs.
While at work Mrs GARNER wears a
neat white shirtwaist, black bow, and
a black skirt, Her pretty attractive
ness draws the eyes of ALI who sec

Play House Gossip.
The engagement of In the Bishops
Carriage at the Bijou theatre for the
week starting May 2. is an event that has
created much interest among theatre
Goers. This attraction comes to us fresh
from conquests of Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, and is said to
be one of the most stirring and SEN
sational dramatic offerings of the pres
ent day. 1t is a dramatization by Chan
ming Pollock of Marion Michaelson's in
teresting story, and is mounted with gor-
geous scenic. electrical and costume eff
fects. The cast is headed by Miss
Stephanie Longfellow, as Nance Olden,
a young actress whose work has attract
ed the attention of the foremost Ameri-
can critics who say, as in one voice,
that Miss Longfeliow is a star of the
present day whose praises will be sung
for many years to come. The production
is under the personal direction of Baker
4 Castle, the well known managers
whose production of "Graustark' has in
terested the theatre-goers the past two
years.
Boyle Woolfolk's "a Winning Miss -
with Max Bloom is one of Manger
Semon's latest attempts to introduce the
higher priced and larger attractions to

This production at dollar and half
prices held forth at the Garden the
ire, Chicago, all last season and was ac-
corded very lauditory notices by critical
press.
Among the nice things taken from
Criticisms" was: THE most beautiful
production scenically and from cos
tune standpoint, to have played Chicago
in recent years"
"A veritable bite of enchantment that
carries two carloads of scenery and eff
fects and some sixty performers will be
produced here in the Bijou, just as 1t was
in Chicago, not eliminating anything
The music is the whisting kind and
several song hits are promised of the
Voolfolk type. The engagement is for
the week of May 8.
