HOW TRAGEDY WAS AvERTED
Farmer Saw his Predictions Verified
If Train Had Only Come Through
His Land Sideways.

In a Tennessee backwoods lived a
farmer who, although he had never
seen a railroad, yet had his opinion
of them and the mischief which he
understood they might cause. Accord
ing to his notion, a train was as
much to be dreaded as a cyclone 1t
self. Great, then, was his consterna-
ton upon learning that a right or
way for a railroad was wanted
through his farm. He swore by
hickory" that no money could buy 1t.
Finally land enough for the purpose
was condemned and the road built.
The day the first train was to pass,
the %neighnors, knowing of the old
fellows opposition, persuaded him,
nevertheless, to go with them to e
II. AS the train disappeared. some
one said: "You see, Bill, 1t didn't
hurt anything, after all" Bill was
surprised, but hated to abandon his
contention that a train would ruin
things. "Wal yaas," he said, L
reckon that We mought say so. but

COLLEGE Girls.

First Of all the girl who goes to col
lege must remember that the initial
impression that she makes determines
very largely her happiness or unhappi.
ness for the first few weeks. Above
all things. she should not arrive in an
deliberately trimmed suit. a beplumed
hat and pumps. Such things may be
suitable for rare occasions at home,
but they find practically no place In
the outdoor wardrobe of the we'll
bred college woman The plain tail
ored suit cut On good lines. a tailored
hat to match and heat shoes create an
impression OF quiet good taste and ap
prop~riateness. This keynote of sim.

Aleck looked at her before entering
the sick-room, he saw that her eyes
were filed with tears.
Agatha went back to her couch, feel

man. He was kind and good. and he
loved her rescuer with the boyish

question as to that. OF course. from
the beginning. But here was some

WAR WILL GO ON
AGAINST TURKEY
Believe This Is Crucial Day
in London Peace Con-
ference.

LONDON, Jan. f.-Dr. Daneff, chief
of the Bulgarian peace envoys, was the
only Optimist among the Balkan dele
gates today. He said he believed the
Turks would give way and meet the
demands of the allies, rather than con-
tinue fighting. The other Balkan dele
gates were gloomy, and predicted that
today would see the final rupture of the
peace conference.
All We're agreed that If the Ottoman
ENJOYS at this afternoons meeting failed
To- consent to the cession of Adrianople
the allies would walk out of the meet
ing and recommend to their govern
ments that the war he resumed
NJ. Novakovitch, the Servian. who is
the senior of all the ENJOYS, counseled
that the allies should give the Porte
until Monday 10 come to an agreement.
This admittedly was the crucial day
in the Turkish Balkan peace negotia-
tions.
Immediate foreign Intervention with
out waiting for the invitation or consent
of the belligerents was conceded to be
withing the days possibilities
The ambassadOrial conversation was
resumed before noon, and the diplomats
said that they would remain in session
as long as the peace conference was on.
