was standing on chair, strengthening a
picture over the piano. The girl had
asked him to fix it. As he turned, the
old gentleman, gruff, stout fellow, said:
''Young man, do you know what time
it is2'
The bashful youth got off the chair
nervously. Yes, sir" he replied. ST

He went into the hall without any de-
lay and took his hat and coat. The girls
father followed him. AS the caller reach

again asked him if he knew what time it
was.

MODERN BUSINESS.

A notable change has taken place in
American business methods within
the last decade. Increasingly men of

he genteman?" This Is significant
in two ways. 1t means that the big
business men are themselves gentle
men and like to deal with men who
speak their own language and that
American business methods have
grown to be such that the gentleman
has an advantage.
There was time when a man who
was hustler could be cad If he liked
and it did not hurt his chances much.
But that time has passed. The big
business men Of today want young
men who are tactful, intelligent, inde-
pendent. yet unassuming; who would
know how to talk to a diplomat and
be at home in good club; who could

Southwest Missouri farmers are tax.
ing kindly to the idea of popular own.
ership Of public utilities-so much So
in fact, that they are building their
own electric railroad.
| This road runs from Springfield to
Joplin. with a branch line from Mount

named the Jersey route" Jersey
COW having been adopted as the trade
mark. and all rolling stock and sta

freight locomotives. hundred freight
cars, eight double truck coaches and
sixteen trailers.
The farmers and actual patrons will
take up the stock and arrange 1t so
that there will never be an opening for
a company or corporation to monopo-
lie the line. The plan was suggested
by ]. |. Woodfll. retired railroad
man, who now lives on bis farm near
Springfield and devotes his time to per.
fecting schemes for public improve
ment In his section.
Other Attempts Failed.
Several attempts have been made to
promote the same line along we'll worn
principles of interurban road building.
but all failed for the reason that they
could not interest the farmers in the
enterprise.
But Mr.. Woodfll. being himself a
farmer and in close touch with the

meant to their farms to have the road
built and soon convinced them that 1t
would advance the value Of their land.

The farmers fell In with Woodhlls
offer to put the deal through for them.
After securing the right Of way and
subscription of $1,000 a mile from
farmers he induced a broker to look
the proposition over and secure funds
to construct the road. This has been
done. and the enterprise is taking
shape.
To Develop New Sections.
Bonds are to draw 8 per cent and to
run fifty years. One Of the new and
taking features Of financing Is that
no stock Is given away with the bonds
save to the purchasers Of common
stock. The stock thus given away Is
into coupon books and
can be used to pay freight and pas.

It has been little more than six
months since this scheme was first
and the road will be In full
