ness. preached a different subject. as if
nothing had happened.
We talked about the East, where both
of us have Travelled. and of books she
read. One would have imagined We had
/, forgotten the great tragedy now being
played. and the plains around us sown
with ruin and death. Soon. however, per-
haps because a little confidence had been
established, her majesty talked to me
about the destruction of Ypres and Fur
res. which I had traversed. Then the
two stars looking at me seemed to be-
come slightly dimmed. despite her effort
to keep them clear.
But, madame" I said. there are
enough walls left standing to retrace the
original designs and rebuild nearly every
thing in better times that are coming"
"Ah," the Queen replied. rebuild, yes
Of course. We can rebuild. but that would
never be more than imitation, and
should feel something essential was al

her bruised heart is the most complete
and most painful stupor in the presence
of so many crimes
There is something changed about
them" said the Queen, referring to the
Germans, and speaking in a somewhat
broken language: They were not always
thus. The Kronprinz. whom I knew a
good deal in my childhood, used to be
gentle. There was nothing about him to
foreshadow-no in those days he was not

RUFFLES RUFFLED DOG
Young Lady's Cream Pantalettes Too
Much for Bull Pup.

New Rochelle. N. Y, Oct. 2o.-A
young woman whose high crowned
Puritan hat, Copenhagen blue velvet
dress and cream-colored silk ruf1ed
panta1ettes were the last word in
fashion stepped out of the North ave-
nue. station today and started to cross
the sidewalk to a waiting automobile
She stopped to speak to a young
man who was leading a bulldog by
leash. AS they were talking the dog,
after wagging his tail in greeting to
the young woman, suddenly saw the
pantalettes.
He backed off, growled and with a
spring attacked the ruff1es.
The young man tried to pull him
away, but he did not let go until one
pantalette was wrecked, disclosing a
Copenhagen blue silk stocking under
meath.
The young woman retreated to the
waiting automobile and the young
man after boxing the dogs ears,
made the animal apologize.

RAILR ROADS
LIFE is SHORT
Average of Locomotive En-
gineer's Working Years-11.
Only 6 Out of 100 Who Start
Drive Passenger Trains.

1t is not generally realized that the
working life of the average locomotive
engineer is only eleven years TO pc
more exact, it is eleven years and
seven days. These figures are based
on information collected by the insur-
ance department of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, co-opera-
tive association which corries insur-
ance for it's members amounting to
$145, 100000.
For the last ten years, the engineers
insurance fund paid out for accidental
deaths incurred as a result of service.
nearly 100000. For amputation OF
one or both legs from accident on
duty, locomotive engineers in TINS
period received 1904, 100000. For the
amputation of one or both arms from
accidental injury, locomotive engineers
received nearly $265,0OO. The total
for ten years from accidents alone
was $6,574,500-
In a recent speech before the Ma
tional Association of Railroad Com
missioners, Grand Chief Warren s.
Stone Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers declared that the whole
capital of the railroad worker is his
labor. THAT is his whole stock in
trade, all that he has to sell. In the
railroad service" continued Mr.. Stone,
they realize that enough must be
saved from the earnings of the loco
motive to buy a new one when the OLD
one is worn out. What they have not
learned is that the entire capital of
these engineers is their time, muscle,
and brain power, which are daily being
burned up and consumed until after
com parative1y short time he goes to
the industrial scrap heap. We are
sarcastically referred to as the taris-
tocracy of labor but if trying to have
men pay their honest debts; trying to
have them save their money; trying to
elevate the standard of efficiency, is
being the aristocrats of the labor
world, then we plead guilty and are
proud of it.
cit has recently been calculated that
out of every 100 men who start as
firemen, only II become engineers,
and that out of every 100 who finally
become engineers, only six become
passenger engineers. The next time
you see some gray-haired engineer
leaning out of the cab of the engine
that has drawn you safely to your
journeys end, remember that he rep
sents the sitting out process-the sur
vival of the fittest.'
