There is a powerful sign ruling for
good to all who have business of i'm
portance with the government. 1t is
fortunate for those who ask for APP
pointments or seek concessions for
constituents, the seers declare. The
Sun and Saturn occupy places said to
be beneficial in the influence on NOR
tails.
Those who are interested in adver-
Using or in any publicity enterprise
are under a lucky rule until late in
the evening, when Saturn and Jupi-
ter are in malefic aspect.
Plumbers, shoemakers, harnessmak-
ers and all who deal in leather are
under a fortunate rule, so are masons,
gardeners and florists The sign is
propitious, also, for those who deal in
coal, and there is a hint of trouble
with miners. a recurrence of an old
grievance.
AS the sun is still in Aries and the

vania railroad offices they met
George ID. Roberts. then president Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
There was brief and friendly chat,
and then Mr. Roberts was informed
by the representative of the postof-
flee department that Vanderbilt pro-
posed to take off a twenty-four- hour
fast mail train which he had year
or two earlier established. A similar
train ran upon the Pennsylvania line,
Vanderbilt is going to take off the
twenty -four-hour train" said Mr.
Roberts. We'll, all I have to say to
you gentlemen is this--I will give
orders to tear up the Pennsylvania
tracks sooner than take off our
twenty hour fast mail train to
Chicago. On the afternoon of the
day following authorized representa-
tiVes Of the postotfice at Washington
called at William II. Vanderbilt's
house in New York.
I'VE have come to see you about
the twenty hour fast mail train
to Chicago We have heard that you
think of taking it off, said the
spokesman.
Eyes, / am going to take it off It
doesn't pay"
well, we thought you would like
to know that the Pennsylvania rail-
road will run its twenty-four-h hour
fast mail train to Chicago. President
Roberts told us yesterday that he
would tear up the tracks before he
would give up that train"
Did George Roberts say that?'
asked Mr. Vanderbilt 81 will send
word down to the Office this after
noon telling them down there to keep
our fast mail train in commission"

You can't laugh with a man and rob
him. You can't take a club or a gun
or an act of the legislature and go
out to annihilate the men that act
as if they are glad to see you and
enjoy your jokes.
Evidently it was long headed rail-
way official who put these words into
an official order:
"A good laugh is better than medi-
cine. Learn how to tell story.
Learn how to keep your troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and troubles. Learn
tc hide your pains and aches under
pleasant smiles. Meet everyone with
a smile; a good-humored man or
woman always is welcome. Above
all, give pleasure.
The world do move. The ticket
agent of yesterday was the proprietor
Of an ingrown crouch that expressed
itself in hatred and contempt of the
travelling public. He stopped short Of
assault and battery, but he had
working capital of superciliousnesg
that proved a practical and mex
haustible substitute. Brakemen were
annarently selected from the ranks of
the hopelessly disappointed and went
about their duties with the air of
men who had made up their minds
10 make the public hate the road. The
conductor might have been boss Of all
creation, and generally seemed to be
iaboring under the impression that
somebody had loaded him down with
a. bad job The presence of passen-
gers on his train seemed to be per-
sonai affront, and an inquiry as to de-
lays, time tables or destinations was
tese majestic. The baggageman had
the reputation of q tiend in human
form and did his best to live up to it.
But change has come over the
spirit of things. 1t is no longer true
that a corporation has no soul.
They're becoming humanized. En-
ployees are no longer merely cogs in
machines. They are required to have
personalities and to use them. Rail-

One of the best illustrations of this
occurred early in the administration
of President GARFIELD 1t became
known TO business men and bankers
of Philadelphia that the Vanderbilts
purposed putting on a fast mail train,
made up exclusively of postal cars
and leaving the Grand Central sta
ton at New York for the West at 4
o'clock in the morning. Thereupon
three or four business men of Phila-
delphia visited the postoffice depart
ment at Washington for the purpose
of securing an order for putting
postal cars in service between Phila-
delphia and the West, the train to
leave Philadelphia at precisely the
same time scheduled for the leaving
of the train the Vanderbilts were to
put on, namely, o'clock in the morn
ing.
The postoffice authorities we're
ready to aid the Philadelphia busl-
ness men. An appointment was made
for them to call upon the vice presi-
dent A. j. Cassatt, upon whose new
department rested the responsibility
of moving the postal cars.
MI. 1hSSdlL was COL ultii IilbuS II
when his visitors called, but it was
impossible to get the slightest hint
from his manner or the expression
of his countenance to show whether
he approved or disapproved Of the
idea, After he had heard the busi-
ness men and the postal authorities
he asked brusquely: How are we
going to be paid for this?
1.-THE postoffice department at
Washington will order u reweighing
of the mails delivered by postal
cars hauled over the Pennsylvania
line was the reply
That's enough said Mr.. Cas-
salt II will give the order for a
new mail train leaving the Philadel-
phia station at 4 o'clock in the morn

This is one of the stories that L.
brun delighted to retell when the
gay monsieur had long become only
q memory.
Best of all her royal sitters Lebrun
liked the unfortunate Marie Antoi-
nette, of whom she was commissioned
to paint thirty portraits.
Lebrun admired the queens figure
and face greatly, but one day she
ventured to suggest that she would
look better if she parted her hair
instead of wearing 1t straight back
from her forehead-an arrangement
which aceentuated her extremely high
brow.
The queen laughed and refused to
comply with the suggestion.
Il should be the last to follow this
fashion," she said, for / do not
wish 1t to be reported that l invented
it to hide my high forehead"
And so in all the pictures we have
of the unfortunate queen, most of
which are the work of L.ebrun. she
appears with the characteristic
drawback hair.

According to astrologers April will

which promise summer of activity
for the President and all who have to
