MR. DOLBY IMPOSED ON
WHY NE BROKE a SELFISH RES
oLuTIoN.
Had Resolved to Play Part Of Hog
on Crowded Street Car, Until
Womau With Borrowed Baby
Appeared

Dolby likes babies. That is why he
gave his seat to the g0od-looking
young woman in the triangular
brown hat. She carried baby. If she
had not been so incumbered abe would
have been condemned to strap hang
ing, so far as Dolby was concerned,
for he vowed at the beginning Of
the trip that he was going to play the
hog.
Pm dead tired" he said to Mr..
Bowler. THANK heaven, I've found a
seat. l am going to- stick to 1t. too.
Nothing short of an accident or wo-
man with a baby can rout me- out till
get home
Bowler said "Humph," as did sew
eral other passengers who overheard
Dolbys selfish resolution. The young
woman in the brown hat stood within
hearing distance as Dolby thus de-
clared himself. but she did not say
"Humph." She merely thought 1t.
Presently she edged down the car I'M
til she stood directly in front of Dol
by. About that time the baby began
to show off. He kicked at Dolby's
hat, first with the left foot and then
with the right, and then with both
feet simultaneously. and said. 10000
90" very plaintively.
Dolby looked up and met the baby's
eye. The youngsters gaze embar-
raised his somewhat, SO he allowed
his eyes to travel little higher That
time he encountered an appealing
glance from the young woman. Dolby
became still more embarrassed; he
sat still few seconds longer.
Madam" he said, will YOU have
this seat?"
Thank you," sighed the young wo-
man. "You are very kind"
1t really was not worth while to tell
Dolby that. He already had an exag-
/ gerated notion of his own magnani-
nifty, SO, to even things up, he retired
to the back platform and picked a
quarrel with the conductor When he
got tired of that he stepped inside the
car again. Directly in front of him,
but under different guardianship, sat
the baby that had so ruthlessly as
saulted the rim of his hat few min
utes before.
100000" coed the baby.
Hello" said Dolby. Aren't; you
the kid that took liberties with my
headgear "a little while ago2 How
did you get down to this end Of the
carr"
The baby's reply was not exactly in
telligible, SO his mother supplemented
it with a more lucid explanation.
I He belongs here," she said. "The
lady sent him back She lust Dor.

I1lah Price for straiahtnsaa.

One of the most difficult problems in
practical mechanics is to make a
straight edge. How difficult 1t is may
be judged from an incident that &C.
Cured in the shop of celebrated as
Economical instrument maker.
A patron asked what would be the
price of "a perfect straight edge of
glass 36 inches long"
1T cannot be made perfect" said
the instrument maker; "hut 1t could
probably be made with limit of error
amounting to only a fraction of a
wave length of light"
"How much would that cost?'
"About forty thousand dollars"
It turned out that the customer
wanted the straight edge for scraper
and that an error of one sixty.fourth OF
an ;nch would not bother him.

Love the Chief Factor:
But the times may have changed
without changing great part Of peo-
pie. And however advanced man
may be in other matters, every man
cherishes a dream that one of these
days he is going to meet the ideal
woman and marry her. He knows what
she will be like, and though he may
look with certain large-minded in
diligence ON her new-fashioned foibles,
he'll seek deeper for the foundation
of her real character and to learn
what her real feeling about love Is.
There never was an ideal wife who
didn't have very real and deep feel
ing on this point, She may be frivo-
lous to the limit on the subject of
clothes; she may adore fashion and
be as light-hearted and irresponsible
as a kitten, and still have some very
rare and fine feelings about the big
gest and most important issue of all
love; and, having this. the man may.
find her. and most often does, the
ideal wife.
For the vanity and the foolishness
pass away; they were but parts of her
joyous youth, leaving the best part
OF what 1t was to grow bigger and
better and to make corner stone

This reply by Senator O'Gorman to
Senator Root marked the opening in
the Senate today of the fight against
the Root amendment for the repeal Of
the free passage provision of the new
Panama canal act.
Senator O'Gorman was followed by
Senator Newlands, who also asserted
that the United States held domestic
rights at Panama which a foreign
power could not dispute. He proposed
that the free passage provision re-
main in the bill, but that the OBJ
iections of Great Britain be met by
an amendment whereby the United
States government would pay the

Senator Newands declared the
American trans-continental railroads
were trying. with the aid of Canadian
roads. to "paralyze the canal" He
said American roads first tried to
prevent the construction, and then to
restrict the operation of the canal.
Falling in that, he said. they had ap-
pealed to their strong neighbor in
the North, also interested in monopo-
