One looked at the work critically, but the other Gae.;,cd about and seemed in a hurry to move Oil or backward or out. Finally his compan- lon needed his discomtiture. Don't like the work, eh'' he asked. "No in- terest' what? I'm interested bit" answered the fidgetty one. "It's not the art I'm complaining of. It's this suit I've on. It's new and all that. Doesn't fit; uncomfortable conspicu- ous; bosh!" His companion surveyed him. Not at all," he said. "Imagina- tlon, pure imagination. Looks well, feels bad. That's all.

Silent Bidders.
@HoyER.NszIo~1A<,

There are many methods in auction rooms whereby wcll-known bidders sig uify to the auctioneer their intention of increasing the last bid made with out any verbal notification. One man. for instance, will very carefully adjust his tie. another may purse up his lips, Il third tickle himself behind the right or left ear. It is fact that one of the richest buyers in a certain West end auction room intimates that he has reached his limit by the polishing of the lenses of his eyeglasses, while yet another adopting the most non chalant attitude, as if he were really not bidding at all, but was casually examining the lots as they came for ward, gives his signal by the opening and snapping of the case of his gold hunting watch, as if he were just glaacing at the time. Of course, the auctioneer knows the idiosyncrasies of his various customers, and there fore accepts the bid and calls it out, while tho general body assembled there are utterly at loss to know who has made the last aGi.ace.-London Tit Bits.

Sunless and SunIit Rooms.

No article of furniture should be put in room that will not stand sunlight, for every room in a dwelling should have the windows so arranged that sometime during the day flood of sunlight will force itself into the apart
 nents. The importance of admitting the light of the sun freely to all parts of dwellings cannot be too highly es- timated. Indeed, perfect health is nearly as much dependent on pure sun- light as it is on pure air. Sunlight should never be excluded except when so bright as to be uncomfortable to the eyes. And walks should be in bright sunlight, so that the eyes are protect ed by veil or parasol when inconveni- ently intense. A sun bath is of more importance in preserving a healthful condition of the body than is general ly understood. |

EIGHT HOUR QUERY
WHAT RAILROAD EMPLOYEES ACTUALLY OPERATE. TRAINS?
Official Interpretation AnxiousIy Awaited by Nearly 1,500,0o0 Em- pIoyees Eight-Hour Law
 Raises Puzzlinq Question.

r What persons employed by the rail- roads are actually engaged in the op- eration of trains?
 An official interpretation of this question is anxiously awaited by near ly 1,5OO,O00 railroad employees. But just who is the proper federal official to make this interpretation, no one seems to know at this time. Omclals of the interstate commerce commission say they have no authority in the mat ter.
 The whole trouble is due to the pas sage of the eight-hour law. This law contains a provision which says that the eight-hour day shall apply to all persons "actually engaged in any ca pacity in the operation of trains used for the transportation of persons or property on railroads" But 1t IS very vague as to how to ascertain just what employees are actually engaged"
 A. E. Garretson, chief of the con- ductors' brotherhood, says that the new law applies to telegraphers and yard switchmen. That is his personal opinion of the matter. Some of the railroad officials here say they are not so sure that it applies to the telegra' phers.
 A member of the interstate commis' sion sized up the matter in the follow ing statement:
 'The whole question centers around an interpretation of the words 'actu' ally engaged in any capacity in the operation of trains.' Just who will make that interpretation do not know. I do not believe the interstate commission has the power to do it. The whole trouble is due to the nasty preparation of the law. Some branch of the government should have beer given power under the law and then there would have been no trouble. According to the way ] read the law, I do not believe the commission to be appointed by the president has the authority to interpret it. But some official of the government has got to decide who are actually en- gagged in the operation of trains, or else there will be more trouble be- tween the railroads and their em' ployees."
 The various classes of railroad em' ployees and their numbers are as fol- lows:

Sheep.
Sheep on sa'e found ready buyers at
recent declines.
Heavy lambs are In disfavor at this
time. and offerings are selling at
discount. because such stock is coming
IN great numbers Uhen buyers are call
ing for the heavyweight arrivals.
The wetght!er the lambs the shorter
the outlet, and country shippers should
bear this fact IN mind when operating,
as they have no chance to make profit
unless buying is done accordj y ly.
Buyers at this time want offerings
averaging downward from eighty
pounds. and altho they do not discrimi-
nate severely against those averaging
eighty-tive pounds they certainly
neglect the 1oopound lots even when
obtainable far below the top light
grades.
While prime light arrivals this week
have sold at s17.4o with freedom, those
averaging over 100 pounds had to sell
largely at $4,000 ALSO when choice and
at sl400G1450 when Of palmer quail
;ty.
There Is every indication that the
heavy offerings will be in compa rative-
ly liberal proportion all winter. and
unless packers suddenly change their
tactics light ones are certain to bring
a substantial premium the balance Of
the season.
