st, Louis, Sept. 15.-Forty persons
were drowned and five killed outright
when Frisco train No. 5. westbound
from st. Louis for Texas points, dashed
into the swollen waters of Goodwin
Hollow, two miles west of Lebanon,
Mo. The trestle spanning the creek

forward chair car, which was COM
pletely submerged with the engine and
baggage car. The dead include many
women and children, many of whom
probably were immigrants.

damaged and some survivors saved
their lives by smashing windows and
swimming to safety. Heavy rains
during the night caused washout un-

The engine, smoker and chair car
rushed into the creek, the upper side
of the car being visible from the

l was much impressed by 1.-THE
Tyranny of Tears" which was
played at the theater where Harry
Symone, his wife and l went last
night. Perhaps l would not have
been so greatly interested IL l had
not been with the Symones and
known Eliene's prediction for
tears and of Harry's antipathy for
them.
The story is of the woman who
found early in her married life
that her husband would do any
thing for her If she only shed a
few tears. She worked this little
game in and out of season; conse-
quently when the husband met a
woman who was not so selfish,
and who had a normal viewpoint
Of life, he naturally became very
much interested in her and finally
the interest grew into love.
/ caught Harry looking at
Eliene a number of times rather
curiously and 1 knew from the
way that she fidgeted in her chair
that many of the truths had
struck home. / know there are
times when the overcharg,sd
nerves and aching heart can only
be relieved by tears-but a
woman should be very chary of
allowing herself this luxury ex-
cept in the privacy of her own
room with no one but herself as
spectator of her grief.
Mrs. Selwyn, who seems to be
the wisest woman / have ever
known, talked to me a little on
this subject the other day. She
said:
"Margie, writer's have had
much to say about the exquisite
poetry of tears. The truth of the
matter is there is nothing poeti-
cal about them, and, while your
husband or your dearest friends
may sympathize with you upon
the occasion of an infrequent par
oxysm of grief or temper, they
will become perfectly cold or even
incensed when one calls upon the
OVERLOOKING tear ducts too FREE
quently.
Almost every woman by the
time she is forty years old has
formulated a working philosophy
of life and feel, indeed, sorry
for one who says, as did a friend
of mine the other day: I have
come to understand that there is
nothing In this world that is
worth crying about

woman's face, which showed the

"Of course, otherwise l should

his play tomorrow: we never
know what is Just around the cor
ner from u.s."
And you feel perfectly sure
you will be able to play this
play?"
"Of course; we are all unlim-
tied In our possibilities. IL We
would only think so. Fear ia all
that keeps us back, fear and an
unwillingness to face the truth
that all we have we must earn.
II believe in reincarnation, and
Il Is my earnest conviction that
that faith is the only one that
will spur men and women out OF

ness they can find only In

Vile company appearing in an act

person who has imaginative abil-

off worldly troubles and bark back
to the days of fairyland.

Of Joy If we could only see It,"
was thinking all these things
during the progress of the play as
l watched Harry and Eliene. Here
were two people with everything

and who should be devoted to each
other, drifting apart and becom-
ing estranged simply because idle
ness and luxury were getting in
their deadly work.

before l slept that night to write
to Dick, although up to this time
l had made up my mind not to

I was brought out OF medita-

tain went down on the last act of
the play: do you think, Madge,
that this play is true? Will a
man grow tired of a woman's
tears?" Harry looked at me
quickly as though anxious to
know what l was going to say.
