HIS GIRL
By FRANK H. SWEET


The great week was over, and of the
three or four hundred girls who had
filled the college buildings and cam
pus with their bright, earnest life, not
more than a dozen remained, and all
bat one of these had their trunks
packed for speedy departure. This
one was Mary Cathcart, who did not
know where she could so ii she did
pack.
This morning she was standing near
the entrance of the lecture hall. won

days she had been looking hopefully
Tor letter, but none had come. None
seemed likely to come, now.
She had not specially fitted herself
for anything; and she rather looked
forward to coming back after the sum-
mer holidays to take postgraduate
course, when, if 1t should seem best,
she would study for one of the half
dozen callings which many of her
schoolmates were already entering
upon. But 1t all depended upon the
letter, and the letter had not come.

was the French teacher, and she was
now going straight to the station, to
take the next train for home. Mary
looked at her little enviously.
Where do you go?' asked the
teacher.

Two hours later she was at the sta
ton and had purchased ticket. She
had money enough to pay her ex-
penses for month. Beyond that she
did not know.
Whom should she find at Longley?
Should she even find anybody? A let
ter which had come to her after her
mothers death, more than four years
before, bidding her to enter upon n
course at this college, and stating that
money would be sent to her from time
to time, as before, was all she had TO
go by. The letter had been post.

Addressing 1000 railroad employees

Taft said in part:
1T is at the hands of intelligent
organization that the cause Of labor
is TO triumph. 1t is when labor or

The President discussed the pend

and continued:

Theodore Roosevelt, believed, that
the power TO issue injunctions ought

"One Of the great things that your

1910 promises to be better. In 1909 a
total of A. .6SS,S7S tons of ore was ear
rled. This was an increase % 395,llS
tons over 1907, which was The record

what has heretofore prevailed Pres,-
dent Livingston of the Lake Carriers
Association says that the season of
1910 should eclipse all records.
An extraordinary development has
taken place in the commerce of the
Great Lakes, due to the immense in
crease i'm population of the country,
the resources and production in such
staples as iron ores, wheat and corn.
and generous expenditures for the
Improvement of harbors and canals
and construction of wharf and dock
facilities. Operating on the Great
Lakes and the st. Lawrence are over
5000 steam, rail and unrigged vessels
of a gross tonnage of about 100000.
There is a hustling spirit of enter
prise manifested among the lake ship
ping men that counts largely in bust
ness results. Those who are opposed
to national subsidies assert that the
same push applied to our merchant
marine on the high seas would work
a transformation that would make our
flag common where those Of foreign
countries now prevail.
Water trips for pleasure have be-
come a feature of transportation on
the Great lakes i'm recent years, and
thousands go there for part of their
summer weeks. Naturally this tide
of travel tends to add to the business
and population of the cities and towns
on the shores. 1t is not strange that

SUPERVISORS ADJOURN.
st. clair Board Does Not Act On Local
Option Question.

PORT HURON. Mich. Jan. 1S.-The
board of supervisors adjourned sine
die yesterday after a session lasting
only a fes days No action was taken
on the local option question. This
means that the October session OF the
board is over and before the question
can be submitted 10 the voters or this
county the drys must mandamus the
board and compel II to show cause
why the question was not submitted
at the October term.
The vets have shown what they
can do. and If the drys want local OPP
ton they must show that they are as
able TO fight as the vets said one OF
the supervisors.
The reason for the boards adjourn
nent was that no decision has yet been
handed down by the supreme court in
the case OF Brewer Christian Kern.
Kern mandamused the board 20 go
behind the list OF local option sigma
lures. declaring that they did not rep
resent the voting element as the Law
required.
Judge Erskine. of Mt Clemens. de-
cided against Kern and the case was
argued in the supreme court last
week Until such time as this de-
cision is forthcoming the question ~
local option will hang in the balance.
The action OF the supervisors yes
terday is regarded by the vets as q
signal victory Strangely enough. the
board voted itself no pay and the
members will go without their SO per
diem.
