WHEN BROTHER
FRED CAME
By Claudine Siss0n


Seated before bright CRATE fire In
the library, with good cigar in his
mouth and his feet In another chair,
Tommy Glens was content. Without
was winter blizzard, with snow pill
ing up to the tops Of the fences and
a gale chasing itself down the coun-
try highway; within the house was
no other human being. The mother
had gone away the day before on a
short visit and the cook had been
given two days holiday. Tommy had
felt himself able to wrestle with skill.
let and coffee pot, and had been left
to do 1t.
Tommy Glens gravitated between
the city and his mothers manor
house. He was supposed to be study
ing for the bar, but he wasn't wear
ing out his brains. He had been at it
year, and yet he doubted If he could
fill out the blank spaces In bill Of
sale. Tommy. being twenty-four years
old, was supposed to have his eye out
for matrimony. but he hadn't. Tom
my wasn't looking for trouble in and
direction. He just wanted to be let
alone and take comfort.
And so the gale reared, the snow
fell, the drifts piled up, and Tommy
Glens smoked and read and yawned
and wondered why so many people
spent so much time in kicking when
the kicks did no good.
A mile away, an hour or SO before
the lone young man sat down, Miss
Nellie Grafton looked from the win
dow on the storm for a minute and
then turned to her mother and said:
why, mother, It's growing worse
all the time!"
"Yes?"
"Its regular blizzard"
81 guess it is"
"But I've got to drive to the depot
with the cutter to get Fred. He isn't
very well, you know, and he couldn't
walk mile and a half through this
storm. He'll try to, though, If I'm
not there"
Brother Fred was to come from
the city on the Z o'clock train. Had
his train come through he would have
been with it, and just outside Of the
depot he would have found three

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN
MOTHER.

To the young ladies who weekly read
this column, we are moved by the
good spirit to write few words con-
corning their duties to their mothers
1t may be you have noticed careworn
look upon her face lately. OF course
it has not been brought there by any
act OF yours; still it is your duty to
chase it away. Would it not be hap.
py surprise to her If you should occa-
sionally bid her sit down and rest
while you performed the arduous du-
ties in hand? And how tender kiss
on her mouth will cause her dear face
to brighten. Anyway you owe her a
kiss or two. Away back, when you
were little bit of gin. she kissed
you when no one else waa tempted by
your fever tainted breath and swollen
face. You were not so attractive then
as you are now. And through those
years of childish sunshine and sha-
dows, she was always ready to cure by
the magic of mothers kiss, your little,
dirty, chubby hands whenever they
were injured in the first skirmishes
with the rough old world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad dreams
as she leaned above your restless pill
low, have all been on interest these
long, long years.
OF course she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are; but if you had done
your share of the work during the last
ten years, the contrast would not be so
marked
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, and yet if you were sick that
face would appear far more beautiful
than an angels as it lowered over you
watching every opportunity to minis
ter to your comfort, and every one of
these wrinkles seem to be bright wave
lets of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear face.
She will leave you one of these days
These burdens, if not lifted from her
shoulders, will break her down. Those
| rough, hard hands that have done so
many necessary things for you, will be
crossed upon her lifeless breast
Those neglected lips that gave you
your first baby kiss will be forever
closed, and those sad, tired eyes will
have opened on eternity, and then you
will appreciate your mother; but it
will be too late

Perfume CompoundIno nm Art

The compoundlng of perfumes is q
distinct branch Of chemistry--a per
fume maker may be regarded as al
artist OF chemistry. blending his ingre
dents with the care Of one and the
taste and skill OF the other profession
Almost all perfumes have as a basi
ambergris or civet. and while these
materials are most necessary, grea,
care must be exercised In their use
for a grain too much will make the
perfume distressingly irritating to the
user. The same Is true of many com
binations of scents. such combinations
even producing hysteria I'm a mild OF
severe form II INDUCED In at all but
one distinct scent should be used.

instead OF the normal TX pounds, and
It's length was only foot 5 inches,
as compared with the average 2 feet

Speaking of the Importance Of
sugar In childrens diet, DR.. Woods
Hutchinson says: 1T Is not unlikely
that the almost universal and de-
voutly to be thankful for lack of crav-
Ing for alcohol In children and In
women Is due largely to the sweet
tooth possessed by them and their in
diligence In candy. cakes, fruit. Ice
creams and sweetmeats generally"

There never was a greater humbug
uttered than the old adage "The hand
that rocks the cradle rules the world. !"
True. it has very soothing paliation
10 a mans troubled brain, as he puts
his cigar in his mouth, puts on his hat
and goes out to spend the evening with
a club of the same grade of social pur-
ity as himself, leaving his wife alone
to the momentous task OF teaching her
young sons that they must avoid the
gatherings Of the wicked; that home is
a safe place for them, that cigarettes
are moral and bodily poison; in short,
that they must respect their father
but not follow his example.

GETTING ACQUAINTED.

The first weeks away at school are
difficult. Even where there is no home
sickness to contend with, so much de-
ponds upon first impressions, A girl
entire school life-yes, after life-may
hinge on the way she acts at first.
Here are few "don'ts' that may
help:
Don't boast, pose as exclusive or talk
braggingly of your home friends.
Don't rush into friendships; the most
desirable girls are rarely the most APP
proachable.
Don't be confidential on short &C
quaintance. You will live to regret it,
especially if you discuss teachers or
other girls.
Don't be fresh, domineering, self-as-
sertive or know-it-all rs a stranger
Nothing will so surely queer" you.
Don't be standotlish. Willingness to
meet friends half way is big asset to-
ward popularity.
Don't complain of the food and go in
for general criticism. This enrages
the old girls who love the schools and
exact school spirit in newcomers.
Don't 90 in for brushes on day or
two acquaintance. Don't go in for
them at all if your school life is to be
broadened and you wish to be general
faYOrite.

No true wife can feel truly happy
who is not lovely as wife. She may
have every possible material comfort,
and may move in the highest circles;
she may have the best and brightest
friends about her and may receive from
her husband every show of outward
affection; and still, lacking the assur-
ance that her husband loves her, she
must necessarily feel being a woman,
and a good woman, that there is some
thing lacking, and she is being defraud-
ed ana that her welded life in which
she wished to find completeness and
Joy, is but hollow mockery after all.
For woman is so constituted by the Al
mighty that she must love and must
receive love; and the marriage rela-
tion was diyinely instituted as means
at once Of gratifying this natural crav-
ing and for using it for the noblest
ends. We must all have trials and
vexations; but if ones home is happy
then the rest is comparatively moth
ing. Happiness at home and the love
OF the husband his kindness, his adj
vice, his support, his company make
up for all.

Kuenne, Kiel newspaper man, was
badly demolished yesterday morning
about IL O'Clock by skidding into a
curbing. MIR. Kuenne vas making a
turn at the corner of Zimbal avenue
and N. Seventh street. He claims to
have been going at moderate rate of
speed but owing to the slippery condi-
ton of the pavement, the brakes had
no apparent effect. The car hit the
curling with considerable force, the
contact breaking and twisting the
spokes out of the wheels like matches.
One wheel rolled up onto the lawn in
Max r. Zaegel's yard. The damage to
the car will amount to considerable.

Probably no movement inaugurated

TRAVELLED ON A GALLOWAY
How Problem Of Transporting Twen
ty.Ton Locomotive Across River
Was Solved.

The giant hands that are refashion-
ing the surface of the earth at mans
bidding do something more than
merely pile up heaps Of rock in river
courses that the streams may be d.
verted to fields where water is needed,
or tunnel through mountains or level
on hills. Recently it was necessary to
carry a railway locomotive from one
side Of the Rio Grande river to the
other In connection with the construc-
ton Of the Elephant Butte dam. To
run the engine on rails to the nearest
switching point and thus get it to it's
destination would take too long. So
the power that has been trained to
exert itself at the twist of q switch
or the turn of a throttle was called
into play and it picked up the engine
and carried it across the river. There
was a galloway of steel ropes
stretched from one side of the river
to the other for the purpose OF trans
porting material as needed. The cable
swings 300 feet above the surface of
