one great advantage that the Amer
lean girl has over her English sister
an advantage that is partly the pro-
duct of and partly helps to form, the
delightful ease ana spontaneity of
American life-is that she is not
taught to look upon her masculine
contemporaries as possible husbands.
The sense that marriage is the nat
ural destiny of women is weaker in
America than in any other country In
the world, certainly far weaker than
in Tngland, where the girls, though
they are not taught to look upon mar
riage as the be-all and end-all of life,
as are the girls of France and Ger
many, are still far from regarding it
with the detachment and composure
Of American girls. This is a difference
that for its proper treatment would
ask a whole volume in itself. I can
only note it in passing as one that
reaches far down into any really vi
tai comparison between English and
American girlhood. 1t is far more
significant and carries with it far
deeper implications than the narrow
ness of the average American girls

Lace wells are still with us.
But net, maline and brussels have
become the greatest favorites.
Diamond designs are extremely po-

Among scarfs, the newest material
is fine silk tricot, like glove silk.
These come in all the fashionable

The passenger engineer reversed and yelled

cab but hesitated moment before he swung
himself from the bottom step. This fraction

His foot tripped on the freman's shoulder as
he tried to jump from the floor of the cab and
he was thrown headlong, breaking his neck and

By Thaddeus s. Dayton

Those of the land sailors, the
railroad men, date back only few years
They are new in their application, but of inn
memorial age as to their origin. 1t makes the
average railroader indignant if he is asked if he
has any special credulity or prejudice. He is
sure to answer no; but he is almost equally GER
tain to tell you of some one he knows in some
engine or train crew who carries some fetish of
my Lady Luck, or who believes in the occult
influence of trivial things.
Thirteen has been ominous number for
years. There is not engine numbered thir-
teen on any railroad in the United States. No
locomotive works in America will put the finish
ing touches on an engine or complete it entirely
on Friday or the thirteenth of the month.
Even on rush orders the great machines have
to be made ready for delivery some other day.
Nine is the number that locomotive en-
gineerS consider even more dangerous than
thirteen. There was an engineer on one of the
Michigan divisions of the Grand Trunk some
years ago, daredevil runner, though he never
had an accident He feared one thing above
all else, the number nine. He never took out
an engine but once that bore that numeral.
On that occasion his own locomotive had
needed some trif1ing repairs and he and his
fireman had worked all day before getting
it into shape. When they left the roundhouse
at night everything about it was oiled and
polished to perfection, ready to take out the
fast passenger train at four the next morning.
But when they came to hitch on something was
found the matter with the coupling. There
was no time to fix it. An almost new engine,
No. 900, the only available substitute.
The engineer who had such superstitious fear
of the number nine refused pointblank at first
to take this one out: but no other loco
motive or engineer could be secured at such
short notice he had to go.

morning. just as they were approaching a

The girl smiled into the face of her betrothed
and he impulsively kissed her lips. The smack
was like dagger thrust to Altchewski.
" If she marries you the curse of the undutiful
child will ever remain in your household" he
said. "pll never give my consent"
The determined tone of the old man sent a
shudder down the frames of the young lovers.
To them the wrath of the father was freighted
with the displeasure of the Almighty. No
luck could ever be theirs while they lived under
the cloud of fathers unforgiveness. That
belief was part of the heritage of their race
Z" If l am willing to let my son marry your
daughter" asked the elder Samuels, why are
you unwilling to let Ruth, who has no dowry,
marry son who is able to give her comforts
she never had before!"
Altchewski did not reply. Instead he turned
toward his daughter. Ruth" he snarled.
"you with the soul of the poet, transmitted
to you from your father, you with the fire of
genius, how can you marry into family whose
father is gross traffcker in food who is so
devoid of the finer instincts, such as belong to
us, as to hold you to a contract that confines
your talent to his eating house? Shame on

that causes you to withhold your consent, I'll
show you l have finer soul than you. You
keep her where her talent has chance to
bloom; I'll release her from the bondage of the
eating house"
Samuels whisked legal document from his
pocket and threw it on the table. Here,
he said, is my engagement present"
1t was the contract. The composer seized
it with greedy fingers. Lest Samuels change
his mind, he tore it into bits and threw the
fragments out of the window. They fluttered
in the air a moment and then were carried
away on gust of wind.
Now you're free free!" he cried gleefully to
the daughter. You're free to rise to the
position to which you are entitled

decisively.
"And she will show Bauer what a truly

the father would think it was his intention to

Altchewski's bent form tried to straighten
itself. He was gulping hard; the heaving of
his chest was eloquent of the emotions strug-
Cling within him.
Father" cooed Ruth, throwing her arms
about his neck, why do you want to make
me unhappy"
He looked down at his daughter, a great
tenderness gradually creeping into his eyes.
81 can be as unselfsh as Samuels,' he said
finally, implanting a kiss her forehead.
1t isn't for the father to make his child
unhappy"

For Governor
OF Alabama.

Up in Alabama. COL Emmett ONeal,
who kicked out of harness in 1895 and
whooped it up loud for Palmer and
Buclner, and Colonel II. S. d. Mallory,
who has ever served the Democracy
Loyalty and who is one of the sanest
and purest men in public life, are rum
ming for governor.
A year ago Alabama decided she
would unanimously accept Mallory to
steer her bateau for, the next four
years, but the late iamented constitu-
tional prohibition amendment fight
came up to be felt Of, and Mallory got
hold of the hot end Of it.
O'Neal stumped the state in opposi-
tion to the measure and helped accom-
plish its defeat, He then seemed to
feel that the rejection of the amend
ment was an endorsement of O'Neal,
and he Is now asking the people of
that state to take me just as I am
without one plea" which they won't
do-at least that is the indication to a
man up tree in Florida. Aside from
this the man who spells his name with
a big 20" has no particular claim on
the office except that his father was
once a governor whose prestige the
son is drawing rather heavily upon
just now.
Many of the prominent anti-amend-
ment leaders in Alabama say the
amendment is dead issue, and real
izing the sterling merits of Col NAL
lory they are now working as hard for
his nomination as they did for the de-
feat of the constitutional amendment.
Col. Mallory is known to be in full
sympathy with the present prohibition
laws Of that state. Col. .O'Neal says
he is willing to give them a trial.
but as his prohibition proclivites have
never been very prominent, it is doubt
full X the people of our sister state
will be willing to take his word for it
May End.
Florida would be glad to see the
late Senator Mallory's cousin land in
the gubernatorial seat of Alabama.
1t is good to have such men in office,
for the Alabamian's life is an inspira-
ton to the youth of the land. He is
said to be as modest and retiring as a
woman, and in view of his valiant SER
vices to the Democratic party, it is
quite likely that Alabama will reward,
for the first time, the gentleman from
Selma with her highest office.
