POPULAR WEsT.DoUND c. a N. w.
TRAIN TO CARRY MAIL ONLY
AFTER SUNDAY.
IS DONE TO QUICKEN

No. Is Not to Carry Passenger Coach
From Cedar Rapids West, When
New Time Card Goes Into Effect
Sunday - Passenger Nc. 8 Will
Handle the Business.

One Of the most important changes
| made in Northwestern train service III
central Iowa for several years, and one
that is sure to cause much protest
from travellers and particularly trav-
cling men. Is scheduled for next Sun
day. On that date a new time caro- Is
to be issued, and when it is the west
bound fast mail, No. IL, Will ibe taken
out OF the passenger service.
After that date it will not carry pas
sengers at ALL For years IT has car
ried passengers west Of Cedar Rapids.
1t has been very popular train, espe-
cially for travelling statesmen. 1t is
used daily by this class of passengers,
especially out Of Cedar Rapids and this
city.
AItho confirmation is lacking, it is
said that this change is to be MADE
because of the periodical struggle be-
tween the transcontinental roacs Tor
the Chicago-to- the coast mail con-
tracts is TO be on shortly. With this
contest in sight, the Northwestern and
Union and Southern Pacific are pre-
pairing TO shorten the mail train time
between Chicago and the coast. AS
result the fast mail VIII be hurried
over the Northwestern across Iowa at
the fastest possible speed, and no stops
viii be made for passengers. The train
has, however. only stopped for passen-
gers where it stopped for mail, but 1t
has always carried one coach and very
often two coaches,
The passenger business now handled
by the fast mali will, after Sunday, be
handled by No. 3, that goes thru this
city now at $40 in the morning. 1t Is
understood that the fast mali will go
thru this city after Sunday from a half
to one hour earlier than i. does now,
and that No 8 will be g. little later.
The fast mail will pass No. at Lee
Grand, according to The schedule of the
new card. What other changes, if any.
are to be made in the new card are
not known.

The Christmas Tramp.

Out on one of the park benches sat
tramp. That Is the only word that
can be applied to him. Every hallmark
OF tramp was there. even to the
strong breath that suggested whisky
and beer. II you had seen this man on
the stage, you would have protested
against the over emphasis of the tramp
idea. But here he was, and Christmas
limited of its coming in the green's at
the street and the bundles of the hurry
ing crowds. The man lifted his bleary
eyes to the sky that had a procession Of
fieecy clouds passing across its blue.
Then he Wa-:!y glanced ct the ra.E
guard and tried to straighten up and
appear less of tramp. There was a
swirl of dead leaves at his feet. and a
little Squirrel playfully followed them,
as il 1t were his own little cyclone. A
little child came along the path with
her French nurse In charge. It may
have been the spirit of Christmas. or II
may have been q personal rebellion
against conventionality: certainly the
little daughter Of the four hundred had
never been properly introduced to the
big tramp. But she ran up to him and
smiled at him in an alarmingly famil-
lar manner. Then she took from her
coat little sprig of holly and held It
out to him. When the stern guardian
Of the public park benches came up to
the man, he did not hear the notice
to get move on. The tramp was slit
ing with the holly In his bl,:e hands.
There was a tear running down HIS
cheek. Beats all how rum get into the
eyes" the guard muttered as the shift
ing figure moved on to the next place.

KNOWS FRIENDS BY TOUCH.
Helen Keller Recognizes People by
GRASP Of Hands,

Helen Keller in her first appearance
in Marshalltown on Wednesday eve
ming. Feb. IL, will show the general
public the sensitiveness Of her hands,
which her friends have been familiar
with for many years.
Helen Keller's finger tips are SO
acutely sensitive that she can not only
read character in the hands of those
she meets, but seldom makes a mis-
take in remembering people by the
touch Of their hands. A short while
ago. Miss Keller met few old friends
and some new ones in her hotel parlor.
Those of the old friends were clasped
eagerly and with a QUICK responsive
greeting. One OF the gentlemen pres
ent she had met but once-the day be-
fore-but as soon as she had felt his
fingers, she called him by name and
spoke of the previous meeting.
The hands OF those l touch are
dumbly eloquent to me-" said Miss
Keller. The touch Of some hands are
an impertinence. I have met people SO
empty of JOY that when l clasped their
frosty finger tips, ii seemed as IL I
We're shaking hands with northeast
storm. Others there are whose hands
have sunbeams In them SO that their
grasp warns the heart. 1t may be
only the clinging touch Of a child's
hand. but there Is as much potential
sunshine In it for me as there is in
loving glance from others A real
hearty handshake gives me genuine
pleasure-like a letter from a friend"
