Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1915-02-12

This time they took Home in New
York and went after Grand Opera as
if they knew what it was about.
The Son Of an Earl consented to
Buttle for them. He refused them
Butter with their Meals and kept them
trembling most of the time, but they
determined to do things Right, even
If both died of Nervous Prostitution.
When they began making real Head
way and were recognized in the Park
by some of the Headliners, Claudine
would chide Elan for his early Doubts
and Fears.
This has got the Middle West
skinned forty ways from the Jack" she
would exclaim gayly, as they motored
up the Avenue. "Me for the White
Lights! It's good thing you had
Pacemaker or you would now be wear
ing Detachable Cuffs and putting
Sugar on your Lettuce"
Two years had elapsed since the es-
cape from being Buried Alive. They
were, to all outward appearances, City
broke
One day Claudine allowed that she
was tired Of Bridge and the gay Rou-
tine. She announced that she was
slipping away to Virginia Hot Springs
to cool out and rest.
Elan said that while she was lying
up, he would inspect certain Mining
Properties in Canada.
He drove Honey to the train; then
he tore back to the palatial Home,
chucked few Props into Suit Case,
and headed for the Grand Central
He never stopped going until he
ducked in the Back Way, through the
Grape Arbor, past the Woodshed, into
the Kitchen of the old Homestead
in which he first saw the Light of
Day.
Gusta nearly keeled when she
lamped the long-lost Boss.
Get busy" he said, "One fried
Steak, the size of a Lap-Robe, smoth-
cred with Onions, two dozen Biscuits
without any Armor Plate, one bushel
of homemade Pork and Beans, much
butter, and a Gallon of Coffee in a
Tureen."
You will have to wait while" said
the faithful Gusta. There is double
order of Ham and Cabbage ahead OF
you. While you are waiting you might
go up and call on the Missus. She
has put on her old Blue Wrapper and
the Yarn Slippers, and is now lying
on a feather Tick in the Spare Room"

cuItivatinu Safe Habits.

There is much in mental habits in
relation to industrial safety. Accord
ing to Safety, publication of the New
York Central railroad, "self-control is
one of the big things in life. Many
times railroad men are injured
through taking unnecessary chances
that are the results of sudden i'm
pulses. 1t is common, for instance,
for trainman switching cars, upon
observing coupler not properly lined
up just as cars are about to come to-
gether, to impulsively step in and
SHOVE the coupler over without first
stopping the cars. Often these things,
at first done impulsively, are tried
again and again, until an unsafe habit
is formed. The necessity of cultivat-
ing coolheadedness and self-control, as
safety factor, is indisputable.
