There are quite 8 few young women who have been receiving attentions from young men that consider it a fine showing of independence on their part to come out and tell them that they would never be as Happy if married as when single. This is all very well to say but what young man likes to hear it repeatedly and still keep on con stantIy calling?
 She is old enough to comprehend the meaning of the words which fall dul1y on the one mans ears who has paid her the compliment of choosing to WOO her from among all others with mar riage intent.
 She losses her head high in the air as she 1aughingly leases him. imply ing that he is not going to link his fu- ture to lady like her. From that time Son he supposes that his chances are slim, if in fact he has any oppor- tunity to wed this particular maiden. 1 A soIabre life a girl of this idea leads who has never known any young
 mans preference for her and who new CT looks forward with sweet iexpectan- cy to having an ideal lover, who may ] declare himself some one time, propos- ing to be nearer and dearerE yet than all others.
 If she has not the burden of others
 upon her shoulders, she is turning aside from the path of sunshine will fully into the shadows that may encom- pass her. It has been said that there is as much perverse nature in a man as in a woman. But do they show it Whenever fancy wiIls?
 By no means. They know that it is wisest and best not to air their opin- ions upon this all-important subject. which means so much to two hearts that are trying to find out Loves meaning.
 Perhaps she has higher ambitions than he could hope to satisfy, it oc- CUTS to him. Her parents home might have more money expended in it than he could promise her in his If he takes her at her word. then Of what use are arguments or love refrains It is simply waste of time. he con- Icludes. sse t-5 5fI 1 They part, and at tLat time she dis plays more feeling for him than on any previous occasion. She holds out her hand and, with an air of sincerity. 4half whispers, ssIet us always be good friends whenever we see each other.'' He is far and away from her ere she Ehas time to think if she will be happy when single.
 Time passes on, and with 1t his at ltention is attracted to another girl one of just the opposite belief from his former ideal. She has kind word to say about the many married couples whom she knows anI prizes highly.
 Her looks and the tone of her voice
 bear unmistakable tenderness that
 warns his very soul He knew this
 unspoken devotion had been wanting
 before The cheery smile of the glad lmaiden who comes to open the door of the unpretentious homo for him was a double assurance that he was II welcome.

rates OF pay, the board has gone into
such related matters as standardizing
Western railroad mems wages on the
weight of the locomotive on driving
wheels. This is one of the demands
OF the engineers, and firemen's BROTH
erhoods upon which great emphasis
was laid. By laying down a rule that
all the ninety-eight Western railroads
IN this movement shall base paw to
engineers, firemen and hostlers anon
the weight of the locomotive on it's
driving wheels, the rates of compensa-
ton throughout the West in the rail-
road world would be standardized and
the members Of the brotherhoods, no
matter on what road they might be
working, would know definitely Just
what their remuneration should be.
Surprise Test.
Another snag which the arbitrator
were expected to encounter within
the next few days is the surprise test.
Both Of the brotherhoods have insist
ed that the unusual surprise test be
done away with No exception has
been taken to cheney tests which
officials of railroads may Unexpectedly
give to engine crews. What has been
objected to is the test which includes
conditions wholly foreign to regular
railroad practice, such as suddenly
turning on red switch light in the
fact Of an engineer of a fast passen-
ger train, unaccompanied by warning
torpedoes, or concealing flags or Ian
terms beside the track where they can
hardly be seen and then giving the
engineer and fireman demerit marks
for not observing the hidden signals.
officials Of the brotherhoods have high
hopes that these practices will be
done away with by the arbitrators.
Last week on the adjournment OF
the arbitration board. Chairman Peter
G. Pritchard informed the controvert-
ing parties that he had high hopes
that the board would be able to hand
down the award by April Is. Although
nothing definite has come from the
arbitrator, it is said that Chairman
Pritchard's hopes on this score can
not be realized. However, both sides
have agreed to a stipulation to extend
the limit within which the award may
be handed down from April 20 to April
30 and the arbitrators, therefore, do
not have to rush their work.
1t is not believed by those close to
the board that anything of final ma
ture has thus far been determined up
on. While certain conditional agree
ments probably have been reached up
on one article or another, it is claimed
the board expects it will have to re-
wise the entire award when it is as
sembled and whipped into final shape.

thus joining they show the folly of

$4,000 Western R3i|rO3dGrS
Await Verdict Of Arbitrator

Chicago, April 29.-(Special. 1.-The
federal board Of arbitration which is
considering the wage and hour re-
quests of $4,000 Western railway en-.
gineers, f1remen and hostlers has
been in secret session all week and
has made no announcement of any
definite conclusion. One of the first
moves of the arbitrator was last
Monday when they voted to withhold
all information from the public until
every article of the sixteen has been
entirely settled and the complete
award is ready for announcement. T
was claimed this step was made neces-
sary because Of the relationship one
article has to another.
A member of the arbitration board
declared that, for example, Article L
dealing with the basis of days work
might be passed upon by the board,
later revised because of some related
matter in another article, and, finally,
revised again just before the award is
handed down by reason of certain
conditions in some of the final re-
quests of the brotherhoods.
The arbitrators have been meeting
twice day throughout the week. The
frs tarticle of the sixteen is the fol-
lowing:
Passenger Service.
Passenger Service-One hundred
niles or less, five hours or less, will
Constitute a days work in all classes
Of passenger service. All mileage in
excess of 100 miles shall be paid for
pro rata.
"All Other Service Except Switch
ing-One hundred miles or less, 10.
hours or less, will constitute a days
work in all classes Of service except
passenger and switching service. All
mileage in excess of 100 miles shall
be paid pro rata. Ten miles run will
be the equivalent of one hours service
POA AOA AAOAb VI WV NO4od'
The foregoing are among the vital
provisions of the brotherhoods' re-
quests. Passenger service at present
on majority Of Western railroads is
based upon 100 miles or less, ten hours
or less, constituting a days work;
that is, tn ebrotherhoods have re-
quested in passenger service a FIVE
hour day in place of ten-hour day.
Freight.
The rule respecting miles and hours
in other service outside of passenger
service especially freight-at present.
on nearly all of Western railroad mile
age is 100 miles or less, ten hours or
less. Therefore, there probably was
little, if any, debate among the arbi-
traitors on that matter. However, there
is said to have been a very lively and
lengthy discussion respecting any
change in the passenger service day.
Overtime.
The board also took up overtime in
passenger and freight service. The
brotherhoods have asked that over
time in passenger service shall be
computed and paid for on a basis Of
20 miles per hour and in all other SER
vice. except passenger and switching
service, the computation shall be on .
basis of 10 miles per hour and paid
for at the rate of Is miles per hour.
That is, in freight service overtime
pay shall be rated at time and half.
