The Argus Daily Short Story
The One Girl-By Agnes G. Brogan.
Copyrighted. 1910. by Associated Literary Press.

Jack Townsend leaned back in his
seat on the train and looked long and
admiringly at the girl across the aisle
For some time he had been casting
surreptitiOus glances in her direction
as she read on, absorbed in a maya
zine, unconscious of his presence.
Townsend waited for her to raise
her long dashed eyes. She did so pres
emily. and her careless glance around
included Jack, but just in that fleet
ing moment it came to him positive
", indisputably, that this was the
one woman. He fretted uneasily rs
the train few on and the miles slipped
by. Was there no way under the sun
that he might speak a word TO her. nc
way that lie might learn her name. be-
fore she reached her destination and
passed. perhaps, from his life forever,
carrying with her his hope of happi-
ness? 1t was strange, he reflected, that
he should feel so convinced of this
fact The girl closed her magazine. and
as she leaned forward to place it in
her vaIise her golden chain caught
about the arm of the seat. There was
a little click, and the locket came roll
ing across. to stop directly beneath the

Methods That Are Too Smart.

According to report made by an
examiner of the interstate commerce
commission the New York Central
railroad is accused of padding it's ex-
pense account for the express pur-
pose Of bolstering up it's plea for in
creasing freight rates. Documentary
evidence, in the form of letters, is
adduced by the the accusing examin-
er to support his charge, which is
that the road in question deliberate
~ added more than 100000 extra
to the expense side of it's ledger &C
counts for a month as compared with
the corresponding month of last
year.
OF course the New York Central
may have an explanation handy. 1t
is to be sincerely hoped that it has.
Such Juggling of accounts on the part
of any railroad, traction, electric, gas
or other form of public service cor
poration can not be too sharply con-
demned. and certainly it will no long
er be tolerated by public opinion. 1t
is to the interest of such corporations
to be scrupulousIy exact as to reports
of expenditures and income; to be
absolutely frank, honest and open at
all times with their stockholders and
the general public. Subterfuge, SOON
er or later. is certain to be discovered
and will rebound only to the discred-
it of the managing officers and the
road itself.
If the principle that public service
officials are in a sense officials of the
state and people whom they serve is
a correct one, the figures and the
statements of public carrier cor
poration ought to be as explicit as
accurate and as thorough as a gov
eminent document.

Tho Forest Conservation.

Pointing the >2eed of conservative
forest treatment in the United States,
the Forestry bureau of the federal
department of agriculture says:
The present area % wooded land
in the United States is usually esti-
mated at SAC, 100000 acres, some of
this is of no commercial value, and
much is inevitably destined to be
cleared for agriculture. The area of
land so situated as to be permanent
forest land is about 100000, 700
acres, of which 1O0,O00,000 will con-
sist of farm wood lots The inevi-
table increase IN wood consumption.
following increase in population and
growth Of industries, will thus have
TO be supplied from a diminished for
est area. Therefore, the only solu-
ton of the problem Of a wood supply
is to begin now to prepare for max
ing diminished forest area supply an
increased population. This means
that the land should be surveyed and
classified by the government, and for
est management applied to the per
manent forest land now-before it is
too late
Alaska has 1O7, 100000 acres of
forest land, or more than all of Eur
ope.

find the working classes benefiting in
directly therefrom. Miss Tarbell
writes the results of her investiga-
lions in the January American maya
zine. She says that wages are so
low that the children of every fam
lily are obliged to so into the fac
tories as soon as the age limit is
reached, and in he majority of
cases the mother has to go as well,
thus destroying the home and leav-
ing the babies to shift for themselves.
Miss Tarbell says the infant mortality
is appalling and cites the following
story to illustrate the point:
Wandering through one of these
New England textile burial grounds
once, l stopped to talk with two little
girls of perhaps . and 10 years of
age, sisters, pretty, tidy children.
They had brought a bunch of wilted
dahlias for a little mound and were
busy as bees pulling the smartweed
and chicory off a large plot. 1
stopped 10 help and we grew friendly.
It's baby they said. He was only
three months old We've eight here
4" Eight I exclaimed.
Yes, eight brothers and sisters.
That's Pierre there. He's oldest.
He'd be fifteen now. That's Marie.
They've cut the end off her. pointing
to a path careless pedestrians had
made across the corner of the lot.
And the others?'
oh, the others are all babies
we don't know them-they died SO
little. We know this baby. though;
we held him; since he died mother
cries every night when she comes
from the mill
Has she always worked in the
mill?' l asked.
OF course, she must; it costs
so much to live; but we'll help soon.
We're eleven now
Exceptional? 1 do not know.
But scattered all over the cemetery
were little groups-many, very many
of them around tiny mounds. Their
tales may not have been so hard. All
know is that the last numbered
grave l saw was 4,538, and the ceme-
terry stretched far beyond

Her face flushed rosily as she ac-
cepted both the locket and card. Yes,
indeed I have heard of you often
the fishing trips up in Canada that
you enjoyed together. various college
escapades"-she flushed again-"and
lately 1 have heard that you are to be
best man at the wedding"
The wedding" Jack had forgotten
that old Tom was to be married next
month. Something seemed to whirl
around in his head as his glance fell
upon the girls left hand. where a large
diamond sparkled in the light.
With an effort he remembered what
would be expected of him. ALLOW me
to wish you happiness" he said stiffiy.
Il shall renew my congratulations
when 1 next see Tom
won't you sit down, Mr.. Town
send?" she asked.
For a very short time he hesitated.
It seemed a hooking fate which caused
the coveted opportunity to arrive just
as he had discovered its futility; then
suddenly he resolved that this one
day or hour would be his to enjoy at
least. Afterward-we afterward there
would be the memory. So he made
himself entertaining. as he well knew
how. and the girl flashed him bright
glances or yelled her eyes provokingly,
and the hours passed as moments IN
til at twilight he arose to bid her
goodby with n great regret Juggling
at his heart.
You will not forget the date Of the
wedding" she reminded, and he an
swered savagely as he turned away,
at will be impossible for me to attend
the wedding"
She waved to him from the car win
dow, and he stood upon the station
platform watching her smiling face
until be could see it no more. He set
tied down to business after this with
a determination to forget the haunting
face of his friends promised wife and
purposely avoided the byways which
Tom was known to frequent. A meet
ing between the two was inevitable.

doomed up before him one day upon
the street.

"Busy," he answered shortly.
''Well. you'd better cut # out for

to Bedford with me to see Adella''
Townsend intended to refuse the in

right" he agreed recklessly; "I'll 60"
His heart hammered away against
his ribs in a very foolish manner as
the two men awaited the appearance
of Toms fancee. and. when she came
gliding gracefully into the room and
he was duly presented by Tom. Jack
stared incredulously from one to the
other, for Miss Adella was tall and
fair, while the lone girl' had been
small, with dark and curling locks. His
thoughts were very misty and con-
fused Throughout that call. and as

be to bring thousands of visitors and a
large volume of money to Houston ev-
cry year, they did not hesitate, but
undertook the work.
at is a splendid achievement the
erection of this vast auditorium with
a seating capacity of about 1000, and
it is an achievement that must be cred
tied exclusively to the commission plan
OF government. Houston couldn't pay
its honest debts under thI aldermanic
system, creditors being glad to COM
promise for so cents on the dollar To-
day it is not only meeting its obliga-
tons promptly, but Is finding it posi-
bic to expend hundreds of thousands
of dollars for public improvements. At
the same time the tax rate has been
reduced from So to $1.70. and the COM
missioners are working to cut it down
to an even dollar this in the face of
the fact that all street improvements
must be paid by the city and not by
the property owners, and the further
fact that Houston has no such license
system as is in force in many commu-
mites"
Call the roll OF the one hundred or
more cities which have given the COM
mission form fair and square deal.
With patriotic enthusiasm Galveston,
Dallas, Des Moines, Colorado Springs,
Cedar Rapids, and all the others reply
with facts and figures unanswerable,
proving that the best day in the his

Without pOise or purpose man S
voyage on the great sea of life is
aimless; he who has not set port
10 reach must always struggle with
contrary winds.
Practicing and preaching the best
things in life, puts purpose and power
into action.
Positive purpose holds fortune cap

coddled.
Steadfast purpose goes straight to
the goal; man must be fit to finish
what he follows or else his future
is not sure.
If you know how, you can do
things well when your purpose is as
good as your power; you can't slight
and do things right but you must be
thorough TO pull through"
Positive purpose gives poise to
men; man intent on accomplishment
always attains and although often
hindered he never complains.
Man attains what he ordains and
his demands for a great and good life
bring him to it; as man admires so
he aspires and man can get what
he goes after.

The Commission Plan

The Birmingham (Ala) News shows
what the commission form has done
for Houston, Texas.
''The opening of the new municipal
ton forms striking reminder of the
efficiency of the commission plan of
government
This splendid building, erected at a
cost of $500 600. represents a clear saw
ing on the part of the commissioners
Not one cent was exacted from the
taxpayers for the purpose, nor was a
single bond sold to carry on the work.
1t was built entirely with money saved
from the general revenues of the city
money that was wasted and fritter-
ed away under the old aldermanic form
of government

illustrates a point frequently made in
the News-that the commission system
invariably creates a spirit of coopera-
ton between the city officials and the
business organizations that are labor
