Could Crawl Under.

James j. Hill, the railroad king,
told the following amusing incident
happening on one OF his roads:
"One OF our division superintend.
ents had received numerous com.
plants that freight trains were in
the habit OF stopping on grade
crossing In a certain small town,
thereby blocking travel for long per.
iods. He issued orders. but still the
kicks came in. Finally he decided to
investigate personally.
"A short man In size and very ex.
oltable, he went down TO the crossing
and sure enough, there stood, In de-
Hance OF his orders, a long freight
train. anchored squarely across II. A
brakeman who didn't know him by
sight, sat complacently on the top OF
the car.
Move that train onl" sputtered the
little super. Get Il of the crossing
so people can pass. Move on, sayl
The brakeman surveyed the TEN.
pestuous little man from head TO foot.
You go to blazes, you little shrimp,
he replied You're small enough to
crawl under Cosmopolitan.

Julia Marlowe Bought II TO Hold
Ashes Of Her First Husband

Pittsburgh, Nov. 21-Shall the
ashes of f. n. Southern be placed in
an urn In a Pittsburgh crematory and
then scattered over the seas with
those OF Julia Marlowe, his wife?
The crematory management cannot
decide the question and IL is up to
Julia Marlowe to revoke a former or
der and pact to which her first hus-
band agreed.
Before she became Mrs. Sothern,
and while playing week of roper
toire here several years ago, she Wis
tied the crematory and purchased the
urn In writing she directed that II
should hold her ashes. She also pur
chased another with the understand
ing that the ashes OF her husband
should be placed therein, and that
when both had departed, the ashes
should be mixed in one urn and scat
tered to the winds or sea
Since her second marriage the ere
matory people are wondering wheth
err NJ. Sothern will assume that part
OF the pact agreed upon by his wife''
FIRST husband. The wishes OF the &C
tress regarding her urn will be res
pected, OF course. but neither Mr. an(
Mrs. Sothern has intimated wha
shall be done with the other urn.

The approaching meeting OF the
Rivers and Harbors association al
Washington calls renewed attention
to the great waterway systems that
are capable of development in this
country. and is also a reminder OF
the millions that have been wasted
in futile effort, to say nothing OF
jobbery and corruption There has
been no system to the work and great
projects once started have been neg
lected in order to start something
elsewhere, and almost nothing has
been completed and kept in condit-
ion. For years almost every individ-
ual member Of congress has tried TO
get something for his district out Of
the rivers and harbors appropriation.
Democrats from Georgia traded with
Republicans from New England and
Joined in voting money out OF the
treasury to be expended In their dis
tricts. 1t is a matter of record that
one member of congress from Ala
bama, we believe, got generous ap-
preparation to dredge creek in his
district and when the government
engineers went to make plans for the
work, the creek had gone dry. The
spending of generous sums of money
for the development OF waterways Is
justified and In every way desirable.
but 1t ought to be done by a non par
tisan commission of competent men
and not through the pork barrel
methods OF the past. A job once begun
should be completed and its efiici
ency maintained. and in the course
OF a surprisingly short time the whole
country would feel the effects of the
progress made.

A year ago he clearly enunclated his

considering a proposition from a
great body of New York laymen OF
