The Engineer
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old SsWash-o

"HE engineer is the large, quiet
man in overalls who acts as ma
Il bout fthe modern locomotive.
In the last 80 years locomotives have
.ouadrupIed in weight. But the same
sized engineers are still used, and are
giving very good satisfaction.
The engineer Is one OF the lew men
who can ride free on our railroad trains
nowadays. His is a pleasant life. All
he has to do is to sit on cushioned
seat and career blithely over and through
the space and scenery and various OBJ
structions.
He does not have to work at all. The
fireman does the work. All the engi-
neer. does is to pull the throttle and
vank the reverse lever and manipulate
the brake and watch the steaIA gage and
supervise the forced draft and Jolly
along the headlight dynamo and lubrl-
cate the steam dome and keep an eye
on the superheater and block up one
side occasionally, when the high pres
sure cylinder head blows out.
The rest of the time he rides entirely
at his ease and amuses himself by Won
dering if he can pick up the next switch
signal soon enough to stop the train If
it happens to be red.
The engineer, it will thus be seen,
leads Jolly life and enjoys great deal

HE IS NOT TOO OLD.
Dear Miss Fairfax

I am IS and am keeping company
with man who is almost 80. He is
very serious and does not want me to
go out with any other boys He has
told me he loves. me and often asks
me If I care for him. Is he too old
for me and do you think I ought to
give up all my young friends for him,
as he is out of town most of the time ?
Gray Eyes.
He is not a day too old for you. and
there are many reasons why he is de-
sirabIe.
he IS serious. Remember, my dear
that these young boys are not
The giving up of the boy friends to
whom he objects will prove no sacri-
flee If you love him. Unless you love
him you wrong him and yourself by
considering him a moment

ASK THE FRIEND.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been keeping company with
young. woman for about one year,
and I love her very much. But the
trouble is that almost every time ]
ask her to go out with me she wants
to bring her girl friend. She also pays
less attention to me while with her
friend. A Faithful Lover
Try diplomacy. Take the friend
without her. If she reproaches you
tell her with all courtesy, that you
did it to please her, as she had shown
by her actions she wanted you to pay
attention to her friend. If this doesn't
cure her, I am afraid she doesn't love
you.

CERTAINLY NOT.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have kept company with a young
man three years my senior and have
noticed that he lacks some points in
etiquet. I have known him three
months and like him very well. Would
it be proper for me to correct him?
Brunette
No man ever lived who could take
corrections without a spirit of resent
ment. If you want to lose him, correct
him, by all means. You like
him very we'll" Ny dear, that is not
loving him. II you loved him you
would not see his faults

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 20 and in love with a young

NEW PLAN IS SPRUNG BY SENATOR BURTON
Citizens of Prescott Asked To Buy 125 Forty-Acre Tracts From Arizona Land And
 Irrigation Co.

and other considerations, and which water right shall be attached to and run with the particular tract of land conveyed, and sail be forever insep- arable from it.
 The subscription made hereunder shall not be binding on the parties hereto unto the l25 units have been subscribed; nor shall they be effective unless the said units have been subscribed for on or before the 18th day of October, 1913.
 This agreement and all signed cop ies or duplicates thereof shall be taken and considered together as one agreement and shall have the same force and effect as if all parties had signed only one copy of this agree ment
 This agreement shall be binding upon our heirs, executors, adminis- trators or assigns.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereto subscribed our names and postoffice address, and the num- Der of units which we severally pur- chase hereunder.
 Name Address ------Units--
 The company owns net total of 320O0 acres. It is proposed to utilize but 5000 acres at the start. Of this amount one fifth or twenty unites of forty acres each must be subscribed for by Prescott peo- pie. Of the other 4OOO acres, forty one units of forty acres each have already been subscribed for by the stockholders through various sec tions of the country, states the Sen , ator. This total of l640 acres plus the expected Prescott subscriptions would mean that over half of the 5000 acres have been subscribed to. As for the balance of the 5000 acres-the land promoters expect 70 father the remainder, providing of course, Prescott furnishes the antic- ipated and much desired boost to- ward that end. Senator Burton laid particular stress upon that point that no subscriptions will be binding until the entire 125 units are sub i scribed
 Discussing other safeguards to the subscriber he said that not even the first installment of the payments for the acreage would be expected until the equipment was on the grounds and throwing dirt" Senator Bur ton declared that Nancy Brothers, famed dam erection concern was willing 10 take up the work upon an instant's notice Should Prescott fall in line it will mean. according to the senator, that the start of work within thirty days is practically as sured. Tn addition he declared that within sixty days after the work was commenced at least S25,000 work would be done every month and that the dam which would di- rectly reclaim the 5000 acres and pos sibly an additional 5000 acres would be completed by March 1, 1914.
