PRESIDENTS WIFE
GOES TO MARKET


Beverly, Mass, Sept. l9.-Tne wife
Of the president Of the United States
goes to market every morning Other
women are glad to relinqlhsh the daily
routine Of ordering and buying to a
trained housekeeper But Mrs. Taft,
every morning shortly after breakfast
steps into her limousine and starts on
tour Of the markets.
She was severely Ill last year and
had to let a housekeeper take charge
Of the summer White House But now
she personally oversees the servants
and all the details Of the domestic rou-
Tine here. IN marketies she selects
foods carefully and Invariably pays
cash. In the shops she is simple ana
inconspicuous in manner. The village
tradesmen appreciate the fact that
she deals with them personally.
"she is so easy to please, said one,
and SO plain spoken, all agree that
She knows just what she wants"

TELLS SPEED OF THE TRAIN
Penny in the Slot indicator to Satisfy
the Curiosity OF Pas
seneers.

A penny IN the slot speed indicator,
to be fixed in railroad carriages for
the benefit Of passengers who wish to
know how fast--or slow-the train Is
travelling, has now been patented
The inventor. the New York Amer,
lean says, is Fl Weymouth France a
London consulting automobile engi-
neer, who has given some details Of
the new "trainometer."
MY idea" said Mr.. France, is to
provide a prompt answer to the ques-
tion every one travelling by train has
heard SO often: 4 wonder what speed
we are doing now?'
so far as I know. no railroad com
pany has yet tried to crafty rhis
whim. and my simple appliance, which
Is similar to the speedometers fixed
to motor cars. is intended to show the
railway passenger the figures he
wants At once.
My idea is to have a metal case
with a knob fitted in each compart-
ment When a penny is inserted IN
the slot it releases catch and en-,
ables the knob to be pushed in. This
makes an immediate connection be
tween the speed Indicator and the car
riage axle, and the exact speed lH
shown on the dial.
THE apparatus is easily fitted. It
is merely necessary to attach the in
dicator case to the wall of the car
riage. carry the tubes containing the
operating wire through the floor. and
to FIX the clutch mechanism to the
carriage axle
so long as the knob Is kept in by
the pressure OF the passengers finger
the indicator remains connected with
the carriage wheels, but Immediately
the pressure is released the two por
tions Of the clutch separate. and the
knob returns to its normal position.
where it is locked by a catch inside
the case.
When this has happened it cannot
be moved again without another pen
ny being placed in the slot. and IL is
probable that the passenger anxious
Tor information and relief from the
tedium Of his journey would wish TO
know the exact speed at various
points
Sixty, seventy or more miles ar
hour could be shown On the dial. and
the traveller on the fastest express
would be able to ascertain the speed
as exactly as the belated passenger
in the slowest Of suburban trains.

After fifty years service on the foot
plate. Mr. David Hutchison. an eTn.
ployee OF the North British Railroad
company, has retired from service. A
fine record is HIS. for during the forty
years he has acted as an engine driv.
er he has never had a single accident
Nevertheless. his career has been
eventful. He recalls a day when &

of which he was fireman. with the re
suit that one life was lost On a lat
er occasion he witnessed a smash be
tween a passenger and a coal train
when a fireman and three passengers
we're killed. Mr. Hutchison drove the

bridge. and he was among the last to
negotiate Il. On the morning OF thai

wood from the wrecked bridge.

HAYsEEp FARMER IS ExrINc1
Our AsrIeuIturlsts Now Even Have
Dining Clubs With Cigars and
After-Dlnnsr Speeches.

One Of the American characteristics
disappearing from the worlds stage
is the "hayseed." He still inhabits
the comic supplement and the imasi.
nation of people reared in pent-up
fats. but he is nearly extinct in the
hamlet. the crossroads general store
and the village postonice. The daily
newspaper, the daily mail. the rural
delivery, the telephone and the troll
ley have nearly annihilated him.
Though some gentlemen continue to
wear trousers tucked In boot tops. to
nibble straw and to whittie fragrant
slivers of white pine. the real "rube"
Is getting rare. He Is now generally
found In the cities-the best places

commonly do in Kansas. seems to

cially a number Of standpatters. that

At these farmers clubs there is a
good dinner-no light lunch. mind you
but a plethora Of boiled and baked

aye. and perhaps onions, too. After
the dinner cigars are served-cigars
not made of hemp-none Of your Sa-

YOUR OWN LIFE A QUARRY
. Character, Said tho Poet
Goethe.

1t was Goethe who said: Life is .
quarry" He does not mean the life
outside Of yourself. He means your
own life, that separate part of Gods
universe over which he has set you
as supreme master, king to rule the
dominion. Goethe says that this life.
your own life, his life, everybody's life,
is quarry. A quarry is place
where stone is gotten. The value Of
q quarry is always in the quality Of its
stone. Now life, II 1t be a quarry, is
simply q place containing something
that is valued. uniformed but with
skill may be wrought into what is val
liable. The stone from the quarry is
chiselled into form. A greater value
comes from the chiselling of this
stone. Michael Angeles Moses" is
witness of what a great artist may do
with a chisel upon a block Of marble.
Really, then, II your own life is a
quarry, you yourself must be the art
ist and out of the material Of the
quarry you are going to make what is
beautiful and worthful to the world.
Let me complete the entire quotation:
Life is a quarry out of which we are
to mould and chisel and complete q
character."-John T. Mcfarland.

IS NOT FIT TO LIVE WITH
Tho Genius Always 10 an impossible
Creature Who Makes Family and
Friends Wretehed. 1

One Of the strangest signs Of the
times is our universal admiration for
geniuses; yet genius. no matter how
you view him. is always an impossible
creature. He isn't fit to live with.
II he is SO unfortunate as to marry.
he makes life miserable for his family.
II he doesn't marry, he is a care to
all his friends. And the probability is
that no one will appreciate him In his
own age. Yet when we hear that
such and such a one Is genius. we
experience an instant feeling Of envy.
Most of US would like to be a genius.
II we could have, along with 1t, our
own steady traits. We wouldn't give
up our regular income, but II we could
be a genius with 1t. we should like
1t very well.
Lombroso declares that geniuses are
acknowledgements types. Scien-
lists term them in biological words
"sports"-that Is, they are exceptions
to rule. They are supposed to see
things straight. whereas everybody
else is abnormal. Bernard Shaw says
that is what is the matter with him.
