THE MANNERS OF BOYS AND
GIRLS.

Hearing a young man address q
young girl by her first name. ! asked
How long have you known that
girl?" About a week." was the re-
ply. Ibid I not hear you call her
Maude?" yes" "And you have
known her only a week." The young
fellow replied, why, she calls me
Tom"
This familiarity caused me to have
some serious thoughts on the man
ners of young boys and girls. The
latter are in a great measure respon-
sible for the familiarity a young man
assumes.
If a girl meets fellow halfway
and adopts the slang of the present
day, she may be sure he will feel he
is permitted to be very familiar. A
modest, well-behaved girl will never
wish to attract attention, but for
ward girl will enter a street car and,
by loud talking, attract the attention
CT the whole car. If girls only knew
how much more they were admired
and respected for quiet, ladylike
manners, they would certainly Guilt
vate them.
1t depends entirely upon the girl
to keep a boy at the proper distance;
if they do not respect a girl enough
to behave in her presence, she can
easily make him do so.

RAILWAY OPERATIONS.

Official figures compiled by the bu-
reau of railway economics from
the monthly reports Of the railways
to the interstate commerce commits
sion disclose some interesting facts.
1t appears, for instance, that the total
operating revenues of the railways of
the United States for the last fiscal
year averaged s32S7 per mile per
day This Is the average amount re-
ceived for each mile of line for each
day for carrying freight, passengers,
mails and express. These total opera
ting revenues are 10 cents per mile
per day less than for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1910. This is equiva-
lent to an aggregate decrease for ali
the railways for the entire year of
nearly s17,0o0,00o.
The total operating expenses aver
aged s22.5S per mile per day This is
the average amount paid for each
mile for each day for salaries, wages,
fuel and other supplies. expenses of
maintaining tracks, stations and
bridges, and of maintaining and opera
ting cars and locomotives From the
reports of ninery-five per cent of the
railway mileage, which excludes rail-
ways under fifty miles long, it appears
that operating expenses for the year
ending June 30, 1911, are the highest
on record. They are 60 cents per mile
per day higher than for the previous
fiscal year, and this makes an aggre.
gate increase of over s56,000,09o for
all the railways for the entire year.
This is Notwithstanding the rigid
economies in operation, retrenchment
in labor force. and the cutting down in
maintenance expenses.
The net operating revenue, which
is the total operating revenues less
operating expenses, averaged s10.29
per mile per day. Taxes increased
and revenues from outside operations,
such as boat and ferry lines, dining
cars, etc, fell off so that operating
income which is net operating reve-
nue. with revenue from out
side operations added and tax
es deducted-was 81 cents per mile
per day less than for the previous
fiscal year. This amounts to a total
decrease in operating income of over
5000, 900, or over one-fourth OF the
total amount of net dividend paid by
the railways for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1910.

.Now, SAY sHlsBoLETH.-

There is revival of the old story
in the Bible where men were tested
by their nationality by being required
to pronounce the word "shibboleth."
II they were unable to pronounce the
h they were cast aside as foreign
ers According to the reports of the
revolution in China the rebels have
been trying a similar plan upon the
Manchus. II a man wears queue
and cannot say six. he is ordered
to summary execution.
History repeats itself once in a
while. 1t is said that at Shanghai
when a prisoner was captured he
was asked to count, and when he
reached six" his fate was determin-
ed. The Chinese word for six" is
"liliushilui," or words to that effect.
This must be a very interesting
test, but The Gate City shares in the
curiosity of the Springfield Register
