TRAIN-TIME.

TO begin with, Bob was in love
with Edith. This was no distinction.
All the fellows were in love with
Edith. Bob was lately home from
college. He had a small position
that just about paid for his neckties.
Under the circumstances, he had not
proposed to Edith, which was prob
ably a novelty in that young lady's
experience!
Things were at a low ebb with
Bob financially, when a letter came
from an old friend of his father, Of
fering him a fine berth in San Fran
cisco, with a chance of advancement,
and a pretty decent salary to begin
with. He was to start the next
morning on the long trip. Naturally,
the first thing to do was to propose
Ito Edith.
Bob descended on the family early
that evening. He was Disguised to
find what he characterized as a
raft" of fellows and girls there.
However, he told them the good news
and watched for a chance to get
Edith alone.
All evening they chartered and
sang. and poor Bob felt like a foot
ball player trying to break through
a particularly strong formation.

Mother says thai Bob will lose
his train If he doe3n't go soon"
All right" responded that d~istrac-
ted young man, moFping his brow.
A smile dimpled the corners of
Edith's mouth.
The door closed.
Edith" said Bob de~terminedly,
l"I-"
Edith's big brother poked his head
in.
See here, young fellow, it's near
train-time."
Bob glanced gloomily at the clock.
1t was nearly half-past ten. 1t would
take him fifteen minutes to reach
the station.
He took a fresh start.
Edith" he said tenderly, 81 won

The door swung open again. Pater
familias walked in, watch in hand.
Its pretty near train-time, Rob-
ret" he observed kindly, and going
to the mantle-piece set the minute
hand a full five minutes forward.
This clock is Slow" he added, IS he
went out and closed the door.
Bob looked at Edith in despair.
Her shoulder were shaking as she
bent over her embroidery.
He leaned over and caught the
girls soft hand in his.
Twill you" he began. She
looked at him, struggling for COM
posture, then rising to her feet she
gasped, "Oh, Bob, this is $3.50
sudden she finished in a gale Of
laughter as the door opened with a
bang.
Her brother, Billy, a boy of fifteen,
stood on the threshold. yelling ex-
citedly,
"Train-time! Train-time!"
Over the lads shoulders appeared
one by one, the heads Of the various
members of the family.
At the sight, Bob gave vent to his
feelings in a single explosive word!
Then boldly putting his arm around
Edith's slim waist, as if for a dance,
he drew her to the middle of the
room, and with a wave of his hand
toward the gathering group at the
door, said grimly:
1--WE can't lose 'em, it seems! They
may as well get a good view of the
proceedings. / love you, Edith. Will
you marry me?"
The girl looked up. She blushed
divinely. Her lips parted. He waited
eagerly for her answer
eagerly for the imminent word. She
looked over his -houfder> at the
clock. "Oh, Bob" she cried in alar&,
cts a quarter to eleven. You'll lose
your train!"
He grasped her hands with deter
mination.
"Will your" he repeated insis-
tently.
"Yes!' she answered breathlessly.
Bob caught her to him, kissed her
%fervently, pushed hisIoYay through
the astonished family group at the
door, bawled a goodbye to all of
them, seized his suit case, and ran
! for it!-C. Hilton-Turvey in Hol-

At midnight, he was one of a group
of four who had savagely outstayed
THE rest. At that witching hour.
they were kindly but firmly pushed
out of the front door by Edith's big
brother, (who was all of twenty
fve), with the Injunction:
Run home, little boys, and get
your breakfast"
BoD's train was booked to leave
at eleven the next morning. Nine
O'Clock found him at F1oy's home
scheming valiantly to see her alone.
In vain! Pater familias opened the
door and stopped to give him a few
words of advice as to western bust
ness conditions, straying into remin-
Essences that took fully fifteen min
utes to complete. He liked Bob. At
that moment, Bob wished that he
didn't.
Mater familias, meeting him In the
hall, also had a word or two to say
about the trip, and rave him a bottle
of homemade cough syrup to pack in
his suitcase.
Edith's big brother came down
stairs as Bob stood with his hand on
the knob of the parlor door. He
spoke of Bob's prospects in a tone
that would have flattered the anx-
ious young man at any other time.
Now, Bob wished him in Tophet!
At last he entered the parlor, to
find the lady of his heart alone
thank heaven!-sitting with her en-
broidery at a window, as demure a
bit of charming perfection as one
could wish, to see in a days march.
Bob crossed the room eagerly.
You don't mind my coming so
early" he said, my train leaves at
eleven, and | wanted to"
The door opened and a sturdy
child of five came in, dragging a rat
thing train of toy cars behind him.
He precipitated himself on Bob
with a burst of infantile affection.
Look at my new choo-choo," he
gurgled, embracing Bob's leg.
Bob shook him off im~patiently.
Why in thunder, had he en-
couraged the youngster to like him.
Manfully he turned to Edith and
begain again. Who cared for a kid
anyway? He wouldn't understand!
al wanted to tell you-to-to ask
you"
Edith looked up with an adorable
expression in her eyes that made
Bob's heart beat fast.
The door opened softly, and a lit
tie old lady peeped in.
why here you are, Bobbie!" she
chirped sweetly. C'Bobbie," indeed!
That baby name when a man vas
proposing to a girl!) Don't miss
your train-it's after ten o'clock"
She came in and pottered around
for what seemed an age to the i'm
patient Bob, talking cOmmonplaces
when he would fain have been max
ing love.
At last she was gone, and with a
sigh of relief, Bob drew his chair a
little closer.
Edith, Il"
The door opened, and Edith's small
syster came in shyly.

POLITICS. MAY BE A PEST.

May God pity the community that
is rolitics-ridden. Politics is a nee
essary evil under a popular form of
government. Where it is kept clean
and honest, and the players can give
and take in true sportsmanlike
fashion, the game is not so objec-
tionable. 1t must necessarily inter
fere with business. However, as it
is a necessary concomitant of gov
eminent, that disadvantage must be
accepted and borne as patiently as
possible. But, when politics in
wolves partisan strife to such an ex-
tent as to poison the peace of COM
.munities, or of whole sections, as to
array neighbor against negihbor and
cause friends to part, and, as it too
often does, divide the people into
hostile camps, each hating the other
and regarding any who may be on
friendly terms with people of the op-
posing side as M of the enemy, then
the country suffers.
upfortppatelSstoo many of is take
pditfcsstAo seriously. For the sake
d. Seeing Some man elected to some
offce-in which event most of the
voters have not the slightest person
al interest-men will become bitter
enemies of those who dare to take
the opposing side. Sometimes friend
ships Of long years standing are
severel through these hateful strug-
giles.
The result too often reacts against
az tubfi&wafAxe A heated politi-
I eaEcampafg3 ma ysdeaden public en-

giles in which fellow citizens are so
holly arrayed against each other, it
Is often almost impossible to get the
people of the community together in
support of projects for the general
good.
Sometimes the results are even
more disastrous. The deadly hatred
engendered by political campaigns
may even result in the taking of hui
man life. Murder is the child of
hate and revenge.
And when such a state results the
entire community must suffer. If
carried to further excuses, the COM
munity may ever sicken and die.

"Albert S. Osborn, author of 'Ques-
toned Documents and an authority
ON the subject, declares that the forg-
cry loss in this country for the year
l011 is fully $15,O0O,OOO," writes Frank
Marshall White in the Munsey. In an
article, "The Day of the Forger," the
writer quotes Osborn as saying:
Clever penmen are leaving trail OF
bad checks reaching from Portland,
Me-, to Portland, Ore. Banks and no
tels are naturally the shining marks
Of the forger; but nearly, If not
quite, as much money is paid out oil
forgeries by individuals, small storer
keepers, and business houses as by al
the banks and hotels combined. A
large proportion, especially of the
unreported forgeries, is in amountA
Of less than $780, If the forger of a
small check has vanished, and only
a doubtful clue remains, the natural
Impulse is not to "send good money
after BAD In most cases, nothing is
done, and the criminal goes on his
way unhampered and unafraid. Banks
naturally do not care to have it
known that they pay out customers
money on forged paper, and If the
forger is gone they are not inclined
to take much trouble to find him"

The search for evidence con
cerning the killing of Herman
Rosenthal, that has been made
by District Attorney Whitman
and the grand jury has unearth-
ed wealth of information con-
cerning the enormous sums that
are paid the police by gamblers
and the keepers of disorderly
houses, for protection. The evi-
dence shows that houses of this
kind were assessed a regular
monthly toll.
A regular tariff of graft had
been fixed by the police, the first
class uptown gambling houses
paying 81, 900 a month. each mid
die class gambling house $500 a
month, and the East Side gam
ing places from $100 to $400 a
month. High class pool rooms
were assessed $500 each month,
while every thirty days the poker
and dice games paid in $500 The
disorderIy houses in the uptown
district were assessed $500 every
month while houses of the same
kind located on the East Side
paid into the police graft treas
ury the sum of $100.
By the cooperation of the
banks, the district attorney has
secured the names of four police
inspectors, who, although pre-.
sunably living on a salary OF
about $500 month, have amass-
ed fortunes of several hundred
thousand dollars each. One is
said to have even accumulated ir
this fashion a fortune of one mil
lion dollars. One lieutenant /;
found to have deposited $58, 84I

be worth a quarter of million
