die and see that you get it backi" or,
to the men: Hello, Biz glad to see
you; back in few minutes after
get over the train, and Wen have q
smoke and talk"
A recent trip on one of our new
fast trains reminded the writer of
the old-time conductor But in this
case It was not the conductor who re-
minded him of bygone years. Rath-
er strange isn't it, that one of the
class who took the place of the old
boy was the one to cause the thoughts
to revert. lt was the train auditor;
and for the first time we met one
who really acted human; one who
did not give you the impression that
he owned the road; one who really
seemed to be working for the rail-
road and didn't seem to care If you
knew that he was a hired man, and
not an admiral on the bridge of a
battleship. This man must have been
an ex-conductor of the old school, OF
mayhap he is just naturally a human
and a gentleman. There are some
more like him in the auditor class,
but they are not by any means legion.
He had time and inclination, while
he was collecting our fare, to say
few pleasant words. We didn't feel
that II was necessary to apologize to
him for not getting tickets and ex-
planning that we had not had time. He
seemed to know. and did not take the
money as if doing us a favor. In a
joking way he remarked that his wife
always got on the train without a
ticket, thinking he might perhaps
turn up about the time the fares were
collected. And then he remarked on
the weather and other small things,
all the time attending to his work.
He did it in such an off-hand and So
ciable way that we were rather glad
he was on our traln-the same way
we used TO feel about the old gray
haired cnoductor who used to buster
up and down the aisles in the years
of long ago, with his merry smile and
general air of joviality.
Honestly, we feel sorry for the old
timers who have been replaced by
the new system in vogue on most of
the roads He has not only been re-
placed, lin one sense of the word but
not in reality, but he seems to have
been ousted, or relegated to a subord-
mate position. Like the old family
horse that has been put in the back
number class by the newly acquired
buzz-wagon, he is always to be de-
pended upon in an emergency; we
may take to the new order with re-
signation and a show of cheerfulness,
but we sadly miss that intimacy and
goodfellowship which we once knew,
and which we more fully appreciate
now when good fortune places them
before us for true measure of their
genuine worth.

THE OLD-TIME
p CONDUCTOR


the old days-the days before the
era of the auditor-the days of the
.big-hearted, prosperous-looking and
fatherly old fellow, who knew every
body, and whom everybody knew
who asked about the wife and the
children; could and would stop and
Jolly" one along; perfectly willing
to give you all the Information at his
disposal; never too Busy to tell you
when the ten o'clock train left" or
lsif we would be late getting in if the
train was behind time" This man
was very human; he understood hu-
man nature, and he understood men,
women and children. His heart was
always in the right place; in being
polite to the travellers he knew that
he was making friends for his road
and he was very loyal to his road.
Once in a while, when you get on
train where they still have enough
confidence in the conductor to let
him handle the tickets and the cash
you meet one of these men; and when
you do you appreciate him; your
memory perhaps goes back to child
hood when you travelled with dad on
the Podunk Limited or the New York.
Express, and old "Uncle Billy" was
the conductor. Perhaps you will re-
member that sometimes your father
would wait until he knew that "Uncle
Billy" was going to be the conductor.
You will remember lots OF things of
the old-time conductor, if you are
fortunate enough nowadays to come
in contact with one of his kind. True,
they are not all dead; but they are
scarce; they have been restricted.
No longer lin most cases) does the
old-timer WELD the punch; no longer
does he stand at the foot of the steps

leness and utter unfitness for a pt
iition requiring brains or dignity.
Here it is:
Oklahoma City, Okla,
February IS, 1916.
"Mr. E. M. Evans, Editor,
The Durant Weekly News,
"Durant, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
Through the courtesy of
some friend who sent me
marked copy of your paper of
this date 1 have rea dthe tribute
have received at your hand and
wish to express my appreciation
of the same.
"Your quotation of my re-
marks to the Legislature was
substantially correct as far as it
went am sorry you could not
have reproduced the entire pro-
ceedings. l regret that your cir
culation is so restricted as it is,
as 1 would have been glad to
have all the people of the State
read your article, but appreciate
your having circulated it as far
as you could The fact that you
sought to ridicule instead of to
praise me detracts not the least
from my appreciation of your eff
fort to tell the people what I
said. 1 am always glad to reach
"the boys back home" through
any sort of a medium, and ap-
precite anyone who helps me in
doing so.
I'm addition to what you have
quoted from me you might give
your readers the benefit of the
fact, for il is a fact. that If the
State had had $250,000 with
which to fight this case, instead
of $25, 900, which is in fact a
joke, there would have been no
occasion for me to have told the
Legislature anything at this
time, for the railroads would not
have made any effort to broad
en- the scope of the litigation as
they have done. Their real pur-
pose in doing so was to avail
themselves of the advantage
they believed they had in the
crippled condition of the States
officials financially in attempt
ing to defend the rights of the
people in this litigation.
Il am sorry if "the straw
that broke the camel's back"
caused you any pain in the
breaking. I assure you it will
take something stronger than a
straw to break the back OF cor
poration control and regulation
in this State We are in the
right i'm the rate fight and ex-
pect to win. We appreciate the
assistance we have had and are
having from the newspapers of
the State whose editors have
brains enough to enable them to
see the right and backs strong
enough to enable them to do it.
Papers of this kind are not
wasting their efforts trying to
belittle and harass the officials
of the State who are striving to
see the rights of the people pro-
tected, the industries of the
State protected and preserved,
and such malicious and deceit
full practices as have been are
being resorted to by the rail-
roads in these Oklahoma rate
cases suppressed. But your pa
per. apparently, does not belong
TO that class.
However, as have stated, l
appreciate any sort of a medium
for reaching the people of the
State, regardless of how far its
editor can see into propositions

ADDRESS BY NEVADA WOMAN

The principal speaker at the district federation
meeting held at hollywood Cal, last week, was Mrs.
Edward Dexter Knight OF San Francisco, president of
the California State Federation of WOmen's clubs.
What Mrs. Knight had to say is OF particular in
terest to Nevada women, not only because she IS 1e-
markabiy bright, but because she is a native of this
state. being born. educated and married in Virginia
City.
Mrs. knights subject was The Other Woman"
and in part she said:
The other woman is every woman in the world
but ones self.
Particularly it IS the servant girl.
The servant girl is just like any other woman
But most women fail to realize this. Most women are
impatient and unreasonable with their servant girls.
For this reason they lose the girls and then they delight
IN going around talking about the servant problem.
Somewhere between every two women IN the
world there is a bond Of sympathy. Il that is found
between mistress and maid there is no servant problem.
But because the mistress is usually the better educated
woman it is up to her, and not the servant. to ind this
bond.
"Thcre are fewer divorces among modern club
women than any other class OF society. This is because
club women have higher ideals than other women.
divorces are largely caused by very young women
whose mothers havc'not taught them the s~arrcdness Of
the marriage ties. These young women become ell
crossed in the g'amor and gljttcr OF modern social life
and they make ia: rs OF their domestic affairs.
1.-THE only antidutc Tor the divorce evil is high ideals
and the younger ~ men o. today are too carried away
by the modern so<ial lie and are too lttlc aware that
there are higher aims"
Mrs. Knight also believes that a standard OF dress
would 90 far toward reducing the number of divorces.

INVENTOR PAYS TRIBUTE TO WOMEN

DR.. Alexander Bell in addressing an audience IN
Boston the other day said that women had rendered a
great service in the advancement of the usefulness of the
telephone. Men were used at first as operators, but they
were not a great success. Women were more successful.
They were more patient, and such patience was demand
ed; they were more careful in their attention to detail.
The presence OF women as operators trained men
to be more patient and polite while using the phone.
Before women were used as operators, there was fire.
quent use OF profane language and all the rudeness and
discourtesy that goes with it. When the users learned
that young women were operating the telephones, they
were more self-restrained, courteous and considerate
This has had its effect upon business men in their dea
ings with each other.

A HUSBANDS CONFESSION

Today Mirandy voted,
But so far haven't noted
That she's sprouted any whiskers or adopted trous-
crcttes:
And she hasn't indicated,
Since she got emancipated,
That she means to start out raiding with a bunch of
sutfragcttes
Took her half an hour to do it,
And as soon as she was through it,
She went hustling home without a stop to scrub the
pantry floor;
Cooked the dinner, did some baking,
Trimmed a dress that she was making,
Mended socks and got the ironing all done by half past
four.
She appears to be as able
To keep victuals on the table
And to keep the moths from feeding on my go-tO-meet-
ing Sunday coat;
Just as handy with the baby
cor a little more so. maybe),
As she was before they told her woman ought to have
the vote.
Far as I've observed Mirandy,
She is just as fond OF candy,
And as keen to read the fashions and the daily house
hold hints
As before she was my equal
And-howcver strange the sequel
I've been just a trihe prouder of Miranda ever since!

She never stops to think that for the individual to pros

Did you ever stop to think of the difference in the
way a man and a woman make a purchase?
When a man needs a new suit OF clothes, a pair OF
shoes or a hat he walks into the nearest store. asks to
see the article he wants, prices it, tries it on, and II he
likes the looks and set OF it, he buys it without further
ceremony.
When the average woman wishes to add to hc7
wardrobe she gets ont a half dozen mail order cata-
logues, spends hours studying the cuts and descriptions,
and finally sends out of town for something she docsn t
know how it will look when it arrives, and ten chances

on the counters Of the home store.
