suNFLoWER PHILOSOPHY.

The men who have the most theo-
ries about women know the feWest
women.
AS general rule the model man IS
one YOU don't happen to know very
well.
Every man has a keen memory con-
corning a lot of foolishness he would
like to forget.
A Young man may be as silly as a
Young woman, but he never has a
diary to show it.
Members of the d. A. r. should re-
member that their illustrious ances-
tors fought only seven years.
When a man looks back and sees
that temptation is no longer pursu-
ing him he turns around and begins
to pursue it.
If you are betting on which one the
girl will marry, don't bet on the one
whose photograph is on the parlor
table; put your money on the man
whose face is in her bedroom.
Marriage seems to have the effect
on Cupid's bow mouth of turning it
directly upside down, according to the
mouths of most women who have been
| married as long as 80 years.-Atchi-

Probably there is nothing quite so

The city attorney proposes to have
the city ordinance covering cases Of in
toxication amended so that the court
will have the power to deal with the
cases coming before him as his reason
and best Judgment dictate, instead of
being held down to hard and fast rule
as at present. PROFESSIONALLY the
court should have the widest latitude
in matters Of this kind and there is
not likely to be any opposition to the
proposed changes in the ordinance when
the matter is brought up in the coun-
Gil. AS matter of fact there are
many ordinances on the statute books
of the city and supposed to be in force
that are just as obsolete and need re-
vision fully as much as the one now
under consideration but it is hardly TO
be expected that any city attorney
is going to undertake the monumental
task of revising them as part of the
regular routine of the work Of his Office
or that members of the council would
look with any particular favor on any
plan for the thorough revision of all
of the laws of the city through the city
attorneys Office which would necessi-
tate the council going through the
great amount of detail work that such
a revision would entail on that body.
The matter will have to wait until the
city has the money to spend on hiring
the legal assistance needed to make a
codifcation of all of the ordinances
of the city. When that is done the
council can take up the task of elm
mating the conflicting and useless or
dinances with clear understanding of
what is to be done.

ENGINES co WRONG
Northwestern Railway Com
pany May be Forced to
Abandon Big Engines
NOT SUITED FOR THIS TRAFFIC

According to an experienced engin-
eer on the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad the big engines recently placed
on the road as a test are not practic-
able and the company may soon have
to send them back to the factory or to
the scrap pile. 1t is said that several
accidents have occurred of late as a
result of the ponderous engines.
The average engine has but two driv-
ing wheels but these new engines are
so powerful that it has been found ne
cessary to put on four driving wheels
on each side. This of necessity in.
creases the length and weight of the
engine.
The trouble arises, it is pointed out
when an engine of this pattern is tax,
ing switch or going around a sharp
curve. Its weight, combined with its
great driving power causes it to strain
and warp the rails and as result caus-
es 1T to leave the tracks. An ordinary
engine would run along On the ties and
stop finally but these heavy engines
cut through the ties, it is said, and turn
on their sides. The danger is said to
be especially great in taking switch
or siding.
The engineer in commenting upon
the matter declared that all the en-
gineers on the road realize the danger
of these engines and all seek to fight
shy of them. They are never at ease
until they get to the end of a run.
The greater part of these engines are
used in hauling freight trains as such
power engine is not needed ON a
passenger train.
He pointed to several accidents that
he said were attributable to the use
of this style of engine. One of these
examples he said occurred recently at
Lake Bluff when Chicago engineer
became scalded and later died in the
Waukegan hospital as the result of his
engine having left the rails while going
uroa side track. The injured man
told local physician that the accident
has occurred because his engine was so
heavy that it caused the rails to
spread.
The Chicago and Northwestern COM
pany is said to have purchased a num-
Der of these engines because it was
cheaper to operate one Of them than
two of the ordinary type which was
often found necessary. Now it is said
that it is up to them to strengthen
their tracks or discard the engines and
as the same condition AZ plies to all
parts Of the line the loss of the engines
would be less than the replacing of
rails over the whole system. If it is
found necessary to discard these en-
gines and revert to the smaller type it
will mean the loss of IN enormous
amount OF money.
