Train Robbers Many Years AGO.


In reminiscent mood, P. H. Hayes,
a six-striped conductor on the North.
western run between Long Pine and
Chadron, told Of a hold.up on his
train twenty-one years ago. Mr..
Hayes was then a conductor on the
same run he now holds, and one
night young fellow about 81 years
old boarded the train as passenger
at Wood Lake. 1t seems that at the
same time another young man board.
ed the front end Of the train, and
when nearing Arabia the young man
in front climbed over the tender and
at the point of revolver compelled
the engineer to stop the train.
Just as the train was slowing down
the young passenger approached the
conductor from the rear and when
the conductor turned around he was
confronted with the business end of
a huge Colts revolver, which kept
him quiet for few minutes. The
boys did not seem to have a very
definite plan of action, for about that
time yell was heard from the out
side and the young man who was
guarding the conductor turned and
ruched out Of the car, without secur-
ing one cent of plumber.
The two boys were followed across
the prairie by a posse from Wood
Lake and captured twenty-five miles
south Of that town. Conductor
Hayes, who at this point left the car
as the train was approaching a sta
ton. did not remember whether the
amateur bandits were punished after
their capture or not.

country the people are responding to
the demand of the times by giving
greater and more skillful attention
to highway improvements. They
have come to realize that good roads
are necessity, and that they are an
economy rather than an extravag-
ance.
The experience of the Department
is that work on the roads in many Sec
tons has not been either scientifically
or thoroughly done, thus causing a
tremendous waste of money. But
many states have adopted up-to-date
road laws, appropriated large sums
of money, and procured the services
of men scientifically trained and ex-
perienced in road building to organ
ize and direct the work of building
and improving the highways. 1t is
most desirable that all the states
adopt such plans, for without a skill
ed organization, road work necessari-
1y will be a failure.

The Care of tho Teeth.

Fruit stains may be removed from
the teeth by rubbing them with salt or
brushing them with a toothbrush that
has been dipped in salt. The mouth
should be well rinsed after this treat
ment
One often finds himself without a
toothbrush when spending the day
or the night Unexpectedly away from
home. In such an emergency a rinse
of soda water will prove effective in
cleansing the mouth and teeth. Borax
water is also an excellent substitute,
and one or the other of these simple
remedies is certain to be at hand.
For daily use one of the most pleas
ant and beneficial washes is a weaken
ed solution of cologne water. A table
spoonful of favorite odor to half a
pint of water is the correct proper
tion, and this mixture should be bottled
and kept with the toothbrush where 1t
is always handy.

CUT WHALE IN TWO
ON HER MAIDEN TRIP
New French Liner Is First Steamship
to Be Propelled by Four Screws.

The new steamship Rochambeau OF
the French line. the first shuttle OF
commerce to be propelled with four
screws, two of which are worked by
reciprocating engines and two by tur-
bines, recently arrived at New York.
She is designed to carry only one
class of cabin passengers besire steer
age and is in the leviathan class. She
is $50 feet long. She has a beam of
siXty-three feet and a depth of forty
three feet, drawing twenty-six feet six
inches of water.
She is built to carry travellers at
moderate cost with the maximum of
comfort. She is not intended to be q
greyhound. She was built at st. Ma.
zaire Her quadruple screws will not
only give her steadiness. but make it
quite impossible for her to break down
completely.
She has four decks, two of which
provide promenades for the 450 cabin
passengers. Another deck is devoted
to steerage passengers, of whom 1,450
can be carried without crowding. This
oeNoLhSi WllCltSS dDDdFd-
tus strong enough to reach both shores
of the Atlantic at the same time. She
has electric devices for the closing of
bulkheads and all the other modern
inventions for insuring safety as well
as for bilge keels to prevent her from
rocking.
Her maiden voyage was uneventful
save for a reported collision with a
whale two days ago when the ship
was off the Grand banks.
According to the passengers who re-
ported the demise of the i'll fated
whale, the cetacean had tried to cross
the Rochambeau's bow and miscalcu.
lated the distance. There was a soft,
thudding impact, just as if the vessel
had bumped against a rubber iceberg.
The whale was seen to divide itself
in two, the bow of the whale going on
100 yards or so and then dipping out
of signt. The tail end of the whale
backed of, shook itself feebly a few
times and sank. The water was Grim
soned for few moments.

Then why on earth didn't you

What Praise Will DO.
A few weeks ago l "bucked up
with few hopeful words the small
and rather stupid son of gardener
He was working for an examination
in dreary kind of way, convinced
that he would never pass.
But he did, and the next time l
met his mother she said that his sue
cess was entirely due to me.
After what you said to him, Miss,
he made up his mind to extinguish
himself, and he succeeded, 'Sshe told
me proudly, if not quite accurately.
We are all of us more or less like
the gardeners boy. From the maid
to the prime minister none of us are
proof against the subtle charm of en-
couragement and approval.
Don't wait until you know Mrs.
Smith better before telling her the
nice things you think about herself
or her children. You never will
know her better unless you take that
bride off your tongue and say agree
able things as they occur to you.
Don't take it for granted.
When hubby makes efforts to
break himself of the tiresome habit
of unpunctuality at meals; when
your daughter at last undertakes
some distasteful duty she has shirked
bltherto, don't take these things for
granted" but show them their at
tempts or successes are appreciated.
I'D get up in the middle of the
night to do anything for her." l

of a visitor who had given thanks
for Sally's little efforts in her be-
half.

nave supposed would be Indifferent to
the opinion of such a humble indi-
vidual, when speaking lately of her
newly acquired nursery governess.
In every station of life there is the
same craving for that human thing
which some give so grudgingly,
while others withhold it altogether.
Although we love bit of praise our
selves, we often forget others love it,
too.

weary well-doing friend of mine the
other day.
More shame to us all if it is said:
Praise and encouragement are like
sunshine on the way and it costs us
nothing to give a CHEEKY word in
passing. How can one of us choose
to withhold single beam when the
world so badly needs every ray of
