San Francisco Chronicle: Woodruff, a Harvard man himself and the star In "Brown of Harvard,” was called upon in the St. Francis lobby at 6:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by a tall, statuesque, handsomely attired, beauti ful young girl, with Harvard red roses on her hat and in her girdle. She In troduced herself with n burst of con fidence: “You don't know me, but I’m just crazy to go on the stage!” Woodruff, who is rather a small man and blond, looked up at the stunning 200-pound caller and shook his head gravely. “Suppose,” he said, "you were to go on the stage, say In the same com pany with me, and there was a fire scene and a rescue, and I was the hero and you the heroine!” "Yes, yes; oh go on; how' perfectly fascinating!” “And there was no one to save us, just us two alone and in peril!” “And not a soul looking?” “Nobody near to help us.” "Then I'd grab you right up, Mr. Woodruff, and carry you out to safety.” As to Luck.

MOM HOE VG CO.. Quincy. Illinois t m YOUNG MAN RICHES CAN’T SPOIL Chas. D. Davol Begins at Bot tom to Learn Railroad Business. A member of tho Topeka Capital staff has discovered a millionaire's son at work In the shops of the Rock Isl and at that city as a messenger at $15 per month. He Is a college graduate and Is determined to learn the railroad business from the ground up. He Is Charles D. Davol, aged 22, and a son of a wool manufacturer at Fall River, Mass. Young Davol was transferred to To peka from the general superintendent’s office of the Rock Island where he had worked In the same capacity the pre vious two months. When he arrived In Topeka he went to the Throop hotel and since that time has been living there. He arrived on an afternoon train and w ithout sleep or rest went to work tho same night and did not leave his new duties until they were finished before noon the next day. Before Davol went to work for the Rock Island In Chicago he had finished his four years' course at Harvard; had won his degree of bachelor of arts and ror a graduating present was given a .rip to Europe by his father. The week following his return to America he started In as messenger hoy In the Chicago office. He was anx ious to see the West and when told of the opportunity for learning telegraphy it the Rock Island office at Topeka he took advantage of It Immediately. He goes to work at 7 In the evening ind Is relieved usually at 7 In the morning. Before he begins his work ?ach evening he takes out his saddle horse which he has with him, and en loys a brisk ride for exercise and fresh Mr after the day's sleep. "I love the West,” he said one even ing at the Rock Island ticket office while waiting a few minutes to deliver some messages that had Just come over the wire. "It Is big and groat and glorious. I was a bit disappointed with Kansas because In the East one hears so much about frontiersmen and buf faloes out here and to find things ns they really are Is quite exasperating. I thought I could take my horse out on he prairies here and believe I was real ly in the 'wild and wooly' West, but it Isn’t that way at all." Despite the fact that Davol Is the son of a millionaire and has had the opportunity of an excellent education he Is not offish in the least. During his short stay he has been a general favorite with the night boys of the Rock Island. He attends strictly to Business and lets nothing Interfere with It but loves to talk about books and art galleries In Europe and the pretty Dutch girls In Holland and to use the railroad vernacular to his fellow work men. He Is taking up the western way of pronunciation and there Is only one word that gives him trouble—Ha’vard. He invariably corrects himself with a strong sound of the letter "r.” “The boy will come out at the top," an official who has become Interested said. “He has more ambition than two ordinary men and It won't take hint long to get on to the Intricacies of the railway business. With ail his money and the chances to begin on a big sal ary he has turned them down to work from the foundation up and you will hear from him some day.” The Power of a Face. Judge: Ah, the potent power of a single face—even of a married face— upon the one who, beholding It, under standing^ and responsively reads! Recently I was in a greatly perturbed state of mind. I was running for a Milwaukee train at the Chicago Union station, and I feared I was late. In an agony of suspense and mental snguish, with protruding eyes and gap ing mouth I labored on with what speed I might while burdened down with heavy grips. While I was thus suffering and mak ing my suffering noticeable to the most casual observer, I suddenly saw a face —a lacid common face—but It bore a message of courage and hope for me. It made me ashamed Instantly, that I was perturbed or anguished In spirit aver so small a thing as the prospect :>f missing a train. My features relaxed; my eyes re turned to the vicinity of their sotaets; my mouth came shut like a steel trap whose spring had suddenly been re leased. Calm entered my spirit; my pace slackened. The face I had seen .was that of the union station clock, and it told me I Itad 10 minutes to make my train. He Needed Glasses.

I remember.” "Well, sir, we lost our wny, and Tor five days and nights we couldn't sight u farmhouse or a human being.” “Have any food with you?” asked Thompson. "Not even a sandwich." "What did you live on?” 'Soup—soup morning, noon and night.” Soup!

Hia Winter When* Crop Realised 938 Per Acre—Ills Oats 9»7 Per Acre In Southern Alberta. Coal dale, Alta,, Nov. 19th, 1907 Sir—1 beg to say lhat this year we had 349 acres of grain, consisting of 197 acres of spring wheat and 152 acres of oats. The average yield of wheat was 38 bushels per acre and oats 74 bushels. We were offered $1.00 per bushel for wheat and 50 centa for oats, making the acre values for the two crops $38.00 and $37.00, respectively. We also had 50 tons of hay worth $13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of po tatoes, worth 00 cents per bushel, the latter off 2% acres of ground. Our best yields this year were 107 acres of wheat, making 41 bushels i>er acre at $1.00 per bushel, would be $41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yield ing 95 bushels per acre were sold for 50 cents per bushel. Proceed* $47.00 per acre. I might ndd that 50 acres of our oats were “stuhbled In.” During the spring of 1900 we hired about 800 acres broken by steam. We put In and harvested 55 acres of grain last year, but did the remainder of our breaking, worked up the ground and spoiled this year's entire crop; put in 7 acres of alfalfa, and 5 acres of gar den potatoes, trees, etc., all with one four-horse team. During harvest we hired other teams; but, aside from this and part of the breaking, the one team did the work of raising practically 19, 000 bushels of grain, worth $12,000. Yours truly. W. II.
