LOCOMOTIVES COST MORE.
In Case You Wish to Buy One, They
Now Bring S22, 900.

Lincoln. Neb.. Oct 29.-An official
of the Burlington says the cost OF 10
cOmotiNes now. compared to twenty
five years ago, is about three times as
high \ quarter of a century ago
locomotives, both freight and passen-
ger, could be bought from $4,000 to
$1,000. Now they will cost from SIS
GOO to $4,000. He said that there
are few engines in service at the pres
ent time which were on duty 25 years
ago of course" he said. -'Iocomo-
tives haul much larger trains now and
they are at least double the size of
the old ones. and are much greater
revenue producers, but nevertheless
there is a small fortune invested in
the modern type Of roadsters. When
one is smashed there is big money
loss involved.

Burlington and Union Pacific railroads

heads of these roads in Chicago and
Omaha to determine what steps will be
taken in the coal rate case, following
the decision of Judge Whitford We'd
nesday that the rate from the north
ern coal fields to Denver must be re-
duced to So cents a ton. The Colorado
& Southern will be governed by the
decision Of the Burlington officials.
There is little doubt that the case
will be taken at once to the supreme
court Local railroad attorneys have
declared that it will be taken to the
United States supreme court if Judge
Whitford's decision is upheld in the
state supreme court.
Railroad men are inclined to doubt
this. however, since the interstate
commerce compassion has held that 40
cents is a reasonable rate for this

The Mistaken Idea of a Child's Joy and the

full or grouchy husband.
The billing and cooling is superseded b.
growls over the butcher and grocer bills.
The thrill Of romance dies down into
the dull monotony OF every day life where
II is a constant strain to make the ends
meet between income AMI expenditure.
There's nothing particularly hilarious
in the life of the average married woman.
1t Is a gray fabric shot through with a
few gold threads, but she'd never make
garment OF 1t in which to clothe her
soul when she wanted to celebrate her
happiest time OF life
To some women the happiest hour OF
life is when they first hold their new
born babes on their breast. That Is
minute Of rapture. pure and complete,
that pays for all other disappointments
and sufferings Of existence. And there
are other golden hours that they spend
with their little children that are more
precious than they know until the time
has passed. But even this happiness is
clouded with anxiety, and dulled for
many women by ceaseless labor until
they are too tired to really sense Its
beauty.
There comes. also, the happiness of old
age when a woman's work Is done, and
she sits with folded hands and quiet
heart in the twilight.
For her the battle Is over. the strug
gle ended. the wounds healed. but this
happiness Is tie end.
II Is what We hope for as a consoia-
ton. not what youth looks forward to
In answer to IT'S desire.
The consensus OF opinion among women
is that the happiest time in a woman's
life is the little span OF girlhood that
lies between the sehoolroom and the
altar.
That is why mothers are so pathetieally
anxious to give their young daughters
a good time, and to indulge them In
every possible way. #-.s
People criticise the mother who turns
her old frock in order that Mamie may
have another party dress; who tlptoes
past Nantes door in order not to wake
her OF a morning when she goes down to
cook breakfast for the family; who slaves
over the sewing machine while Mamie is
off playing tennis. FL
They do not know. as the woman does,
that she Is doing all she can to give
Mamie her golden hour untarnished.
She knows that life with Its cares and
burdens must soon press upon the young
shoulders; that there are bound to be
Establishments for her; that the gilt
win rub off OF her gingerbread, and her
fairy prince turn into an ordinary grocery
clerk, and the rose-embowered cottage Of
her dreams become two by four fiat
with her stewlng over the range instead
Of gathering daisies In green fields. but
between the school world and the hard
work-a-day world lies this little strip Of
paradise-the young girls world-which
the mother Is determined TO secure her
daughter n It Is possible.
IL you should ask any old woman what
was the happiest time Of her life. her
face would grow suddenly young and
tender and she would say. When I was q
