A Trick TO Sidetrack
Senator Depew
By Holland

"As look back and recall some of
my experiences in politics IL seems
to me that one OF the most amusing

after his second term as United States
Senator expired.
Toward the close Of my first term
IN the Senate, very peculiar situa-
ton arose in New York State Re
publican politics. Some Of the poll

another than myself when the time
came to elect my successor as Sena-

clans got together and after consid-
ering good many plans finally de-
cided upon this one | was to he got

Delay CARTRIDGES.

A safety feature for those engaged
in blasting is the use of what is called
delay" cartridges, which enable a
blaster to count all the holes in a
round and make sure that all have
gone Off. In the first hole an ordi-
nary blasting cap is put. The second
hole is fred by a delay blasting cap.
the third hole by a second. delay blast
ing cap, the fourth hole by third de-
lay blasting cap, and SO on. All the
caps are on the same circuit, and all
are ignited by one operation of the
blasting machine. The delay caps fire
the charges in order, and with sufi-
cient interval between explosions to
permit of counting the shots, so that
the men doing the blasting can tell
absolutely that every charge has gone
of before they return to the cut.

This is my lady's birth,
God gave her might and mirth,
And laid the whole sweet earth
Between her hands.
You can go to no place, you may
feel certain, where you are not likely to
meet the self.loving young woman.
Very often she is young and bright
lin appearance, while she stands the
best chance of attracting a class of
young men. who are under the spell
Of her sprightly charms. The first of
her importance which appeals to the
onlookers is her genteel walk, and
perfect carriage. Any of the opposite
sex could be certain by the light. float
ing way she enters a room that they
were face to face with an intensely
active, lofty, high-strung young
woman. v
Her temperament is in her step, It
is plain to be seen, as she does not
walk as though she were dragging her
footsteps over the floor. Careless
walkers seldom impress the observer
sufficiently to take a second look at
them. That is the reason why wom-
ans walk counts for great deal.
Next she has lots of energy and not
much Of fuss and feathers. She is
generally good company; confident
that she will carry q conversation to
the best advantage to herself. Often
she is witty. In exchanging opinions
and giving some pleasing anecdote
she dearly loves. she frequently APP
pears to carry the day, unless her OPP
ponent sits back and gives her the
palm.
She takes pains to wear little
smile that It may be recognized that
she Is good tempered. She can read

not bore her companion by foolishly
simpering her ideas of tale told and
making him uncomfortable by the
words, "Did you ever hear such ridic-
ulousness!" Her laugheis contagious.
having ring of merriment in 1t that
strikes ones fancy.
The self-loving woman is somewhat
artistic, and understands what is re-
quired of her to keep up her dainty
charms in the eyes of ardent suitors.
Usually she does not lack attention
and IS always "in the picture" to bor-
row studio expression. She is nat
ural. yet maintains a ceaseless love
for herself from the tip of her toe to
the CLEAN Of her well-kept hair.
She makes no pretentions of having
had her share of young men fall in
love with her. She leaves that part
for them to see, and be Judge of. She
simply takes pride in the value that
she is just what she appears to be;
one who carries her head high, looks
pleasant always, possesses an individ- |
uality Of her own, observes what is |
going on, and is not averse to being
observed, but not ogled at.
This kind of young women are most |
always worthy of the good results they
achieve. The right sort of self-esteem,
Il not carried too far, is better than
he lack OF 1t, and the loss Of the
want Of It, 1t Is less dull and tiresome
