American Knee Bends only to Two,

When the car of Russia was the
most conspicuous parsonage in Europe
a visitor at Washington was relating
how strangers to the car knelt in his
presence. On finishing the story the
speaker remarked to Senator Ben
ton: Il suppose, colonel, that you
would not think of kneeling to the
czar?" Benton instantly replied and
with tremendous emphasis: NO, sir,
no sir. An American kneels only to
God and woman, sir"

after giving the order for luncheon he dismissed the waiter and looked across at Mildred.
 Despite her anger and her desire to petrify him with a glance, Mill dred lost all control of her express sion and realized with inward horror that she was smiling in a shy and exceedingly foolish fashion.
 "Won't you please put the flowers where they were?"
 Again Mildred found herself obey ing him but she felt that her voice would return presently and that she would give this very handsome man opposite her a few wcll-toned words.
 "1hat lavender cloudy thing-it will be in tie way soon?" he sug- gested.
 Mildred put the veil up over her hat and now raised her head proudly and looked straight at him. All the force of infinite scorn at herself and toward him blazed in her wide eyes.
 David Gray started-perhaps from the anger in her eyes and per haps from mere fear at the beauty of her face.
 Don't look at me-like that" he said. "Rex Holland and 1 are

GOOD TIP ABOUT CHECKS
Writing Out the Stub First Is Easy and May Avert Much
 Trouble.

The West side woman was paying with check for some articles she had bought at a department store, and she was carefully filling in the stub of her check book first. "Oh, don't stop for that" urged her shop ping companion, who was in hurry, ''you can do that when you get home" Unmoved, the West side woman finished the stub with special care, then wrote the check, gave it to the salesman and said to her impa- tient friend: Before I was married l took care of some of my fathers ac- counts. The first time he ever asked me to fill out a set of blank checks for him so he could sign them he told me: One rule you must always ob- serve: Write the stub first Make a VOW to yourself like unto the VOW of Jephtha that you will never write a check until the stub is filled. If for any reason you should fail later to write the check it would be a simple matter to cancel the stub, but if you write a check and leave the stub blank you open the door to a hun dred chances of mistake. No ones memory can be trusted on that sub ject. Never try to trust yours. Let the law of ''the stub first be to you as the law of the Medes and Persians.' l have always found it perfectly easy to follc that rule and that is one reason l have a bank account today. My husband is never afraid I will make him any trouble with it."

" that Rex had to keep business luncheon in place of this one"
 Mildred found the lids of her eyes unusually hard to lift.
 Aren't you?" she asked finally, a little musical lit in her voice.
 "No. Are you?"
 "Rex and l always enjoy our luncheons together" replied Mildred eyasively.
 'Do you think you could be per- suaded to enjoy lunching with any one else?" asked Gray. "Rex asked me to come."
 Mildred let her eyes rest easily on the honest, laughing eyes, the well poised head and broad capable shoulders of the man opposite and she did not at the moment express her opinion. ;
 The fattery in her eyes answered him.
 "But why did you look familiar to me-when 1 first saw you," she questioned during the Salad course
 "For two very good reasons" Da- vid Gray informed her. First, be- cause you have probably seen an old picture that Rex has and secondly" he broke off, scarcely knowing wheth- CT or not to continue.
 q want to know the second" she said and waited.
 David Gray looked at her a mo- ment and then said
 q referred to the old, old saving that people sometimes seem to have known each other always.'
 "Oh!' said Mildred and for no reason whatever she found that her fingers had fashioned a tiny bouton- niere from her flowers and that Da- yid Gray's hand had closed over it. GOOD TIP ABOUT CHECKS

"V 1 WO at
 Luncheon By Catherine Coope
By Catherine Coope

"509S John" Mildred's tones went swiftly toward central.
 Hello, Is that you Rex? Yes Rex-our table at the Tower has been removed so l will be at the one in the second alcove. And Rex, do you mind if 1 make it one-thirty in- stead of one? 1 am in an awful hurry this morning, so goodby! Oh Rex" Mildred's tone had assumed a coaxing note, "I have on my lav- ender frock today Goodbyw
 The girl hung up the receiver hur- riedly, then glanced at her neat little lavender clad figure in the long mir TOT and smiled. The finishing touch would be the few well chosen flowers she knew her brother would bring to her. Rex was unusual for a brother and insisted on these little extravagances for his sister.
 Mildred reached up for the fluffy lavender chiffon that foated over her hat and let it drop down across her face. Thus, with a wonderfully beau tiful face partially concealed Mil dred made her way to the shopping districts.
 The shops were attractive and when Mildred finally dragged herself away it was to find that she would be perhaps ten minutes late for luncheon with her brother.
 Brothers are easily pacifed," thought Mildred as she swung through the door of the Tower.
 She stood for a moment while her glance played full upon the group of men standing about the entrance hall. Covert, open and swift admi- ration jumped into many a pair of eyes as she stood there apparently unconscious of the picture she pre- sented; the soft mist of her chiffon veil only added a subtle touch to her beauty.
 "The one in the corner," was Mill dred's inward decision, ''is very good looking"
 As she passed on into the smaller luncheon room she threw hurried glance at the man in the corner who had half risen at her entrance.
 Without another glance Mildred went to her table.
 Rex had arrived but had vanished; the fact of his having been there was evidenced in an exquisite corsage bouquet which lay on the table Tn the alcove.
 "Rex is extravagant today" mur- mured Mildred, picking up the flow

HE MIGHT RISK ONE EYE Secretary of War Dickinson's Advice to the Postmaster General
 Was Cautious.

An official of the .postolfice depart- nent tells of the efforts of a woman, the widow of an inventor who had completed a device intended to be applied for special purpose in the postal administration of our insular possessions, to get a hearing before that department, in order that she might orally demonstrate the eXcel- lence of the invention, touching which the department had expressed some doubt. The woman wrote d pa- thetic letter requesting a private hearing from the postmaster gener- al q feel sure," said she in this letter, "that if l could get chance to look straight into your beautiful brown eyes you would hear me"
 After some consideration the post master general indorsed the commu- nieatiOn, Respectfully referred to the secretary of war for advice" and sent 1t to the war department.
 In due course it came back with this indorsement.

CTS preparatory to pinning them on. "Three beautiful orchids and my favorite-lily of the valley" She sniffed at them and pinned them in place. q suppose Rex has gone off to have a smoke-since I was so late," she unused and glanced through the menu.
 Rex had come-she looked up. No!
 The man whom she had seen in the hall was seating himself calmly opposite her. She looked across at him, frankly disturbed; her eyes then encountered those of the waiter and indignation should have crushed him, but there was on use trying to explain to a man who scarcely un- derstood English that he had given away a reserved seat. She looked desperately around for Rex.
 "You-like the fowers?"
 The man opposite had spoken the fateful words.
 An icy chill swept over Mildred, leaving her strangely helpless.
 She had assumed that the flowers were hers-that the table was hers . Instead of that she had stepped into one of those terrible intrigues. Probably the man whose eyes she found so disconcerting supposed that she had answered some per- sonal in the newspapers.
 Because, in her discontinue, she had not found her voice, Mildred unpinned the flowers from her dress and put them on the table.
 All through the performance the man opposite kept his eyes steadily upon her and whimsical smile had dawned in his face.
 A flush swept suddenly into Mill dred's cheeks and irritation at it's onslaught made the eyes she turned scornfully upon him flash fire. She made a movement as if to leave the table but at that moment the waiter was standing beside them.
 Something in the eyes of the man opposite told Mildred that if she attempted to leave now he would command her to stay. Hoping des- perately that her brother would ar rive in time to prevent scene, Mill dred sat back and only dropped the concealing chiffon of her veil about her face. She glanced coyertly at the man while he looked carefully over the menu, There was some thing familiar about him and when her eyes rested directly on him he looked up and caught her.
 Do you care for a green salad be- fore or after the joint, Miss Hol- land? ?" he asked.
 The long flower pin which Mill dred held in her fingers snapped, so sudden was the sound of her name.
 "I-I-prefer it after," she found herself answering.

Adopt New Signal Light.

The Missouri Pacifc-Iron Noun tain is installing the Fresnel Signal lamp on the rear of it's trains This is the same light used aboard ships and steamboats. Itis long, narrow belt of light and gives a spread of illumination of AS de- grees on either side of a central point, or, a total illumination of 90 degrees. The ordinary signal lamp used on the rear end of trains is the small bullseye, and while the light IS bright, it has no spread, throwing only thln illumination directly back of the train.
 The big advantage of the wide spread of light that the Fresnel lens gives is that in rounding a curve it spreads it's rays in all di- rections over the land. so that trains on the other turn of the curve can plainly see it, whereas they cannot observe the light of the ordinary train signal lamp. This fact gives the Fresnel lens a great advantage in the line of safe- ty.
 Service tests have been made recently on the Hot Springs Spec ial and on beth of the through fast trains to Texas. These tests have been most satisfactory, and ar engagements are now being made to have the Fresnel lens signal lamps to take the place of all other signal lamps on all trains of the system.
 The Missouri Pacific Iron-Moun- tain is the first road to perfect and adopt these lamps. It will only be a question of time until all other railroads will follow it's example.

Arkansas Coal Supply.

Prior to 1860 only a very little coal was produced west of the Mississippi river. This was mined in three states, Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas. The industry in Arkan- sas developed slowly. In the year named, only 200 short tons were produced. In the succeeding twenty years there was an increase of l4.zZ8 tons. And in the twen- ty-flve years following the increase was more rapid, reaching a maxi mum of 2.67O.458 tons in 1907
 The United States report for then says: With the exception of sMichlgan, the percentage of in crease in coal production, over previous years in Arkansas. was the highest of any of the coal pro- ducing states
 It is further reported: The coal mines of Arkansas during the year 1907 gave employent to 5O85 men who worked an average of loO days. The average pro- duction per man was 525 tons, equal to 2.Z6 tons per day for each man"
 The report further says on page 99: The total original supply of coal in Arkansas was 1887 ,Ooo,- 900 short tons, of which 1.z97,- 100000 tons were btuminous and semi-anthracite and oO.OOo.OOO tons were Ignite. The Ignite areas have not been developed and no production reported From the other areas there have been mined only 25,z56. .4ol short tons. repre- senting exhaustion including waste of two per cent of orlglnal contents of the known Arkansas field.
 And so it follows that of the known deposit of coal in our state. 98 per cent yet remains in the earth.
 In c'osining we quote Dr. Bran ner's conclusions: The existence in our state of a vast body of coal of unusual excellence and com prising as it does varieties that make it available for wide range of uses. is of an importance that can scracely be over estimated. The cheapness and excellence of this fuel will doubtless enlarge it's markets and will invite the estab- lishment in our midst of many i'm portant industries. while values of all other economic products are greatly enhanced by their proxi- mity to an inexhaustible supply of coal
