"Well," cnld the one In the chair with n loud sigh, "If lie will do It he will, 1 suppose, and there's no stop ping hlnil Dli.'k alwnys was stub horn!" "Yes," said the one on the couch, "we might nn well clone our eyes on the sad sight and try to foiget It, be cause wonytng will do no goo I. Htlll, It's hard to sf-e him running these terrible Hkkh Dickie, Dickie, pause In time!" ' What's i ho matter with you fel lows?" mumbled the one at the desk without stopping his busy pen. "Nothing Is the matter with us!" replied the young man in the wicker chair with great dignity. "Kvery one In the world Isn't selllsh.

'Wouldn't what?" snapped the olio at the desk, glancing up In an an noyed way. They simply shook their heads at li I in and did not answer. When the young man at the desk again was hard at work the young man on the couch spoke up. "They never consider how It will sound In court," ho said, plaintively. "They go splashing their inmost thoughts all over a sheet of paper and inventing new pet names for the only girl on earth without stopping to remember that In live years she'll bo miles be hind them In their forward rush. Hut she'll not forget! She'll have till those poetic epistles tied up with pink rib bon ready to hand over to her lawyer and she'll have on a becoming dress and a llower hat and she'll make pathetic eyes at the Jury whenever she Isn't weeping bitterly over the perfidy of her false lover. So the Jury will arise as one sympathetic man and" "Aw, cut It out:" growled the man at the writing desk. "I can't think V "You don't need to think, believe me!" responded the young man In the wicker chair. "The less you v think the better, for when the letters are produced in court maybe you can niako a plea of insanity stick. "Write sort or wild and rambling, Dickie. That's your only salvation! The girl will like what you say all the better, because she will think you are intoxicated with love for her. Later on the Judge will say, 'Poor, de mented iiian!' and let you off with a warning to your lamlly to look alter you. Think, Dickie, how dreadful It will be alter you have achieved side whiskers and a reputation to have a bunch of those letters come out on the trout pages of the newspapers where all your neighbors can enjoy them with their breakfast coffee! You'll feel so comfortnblo sprinting down the street for your enr knowing that people are watching you from behind their parlor window curtains and saying, 'How could It be,posslble? Such a nice man and with such love ly whiskers!' " "And it really isn't necessary," de clared the man on the couch. "When you feel that way and And yourself looking for pen and paper Just go and tako a cold shower bath. That will help. If It does not get you Into a sufticlently sensible frame of mind, put n little cracked Ice on your fore head. "I knew a man once who persisted In writing to a girl and what do you think happened to him? She married him! Yes, sir. that's what she did! Took him in the bloom of his youth, and tied him up for life. Writing' those superheated letters sort of hypnotized him Into thinking he really felt the way he said he felt. Of course, the Infatuation wore oif and then consider his awful state of mind!" "1 wouldn't be as funny aB you two think you are for anything!" broke out the badgered one at the desk. "Of coarse you wouldn't if you, could help It, Dickie," soothed tho young man In the chair. "Hut you are! Any young man writing a lovo letter Is too far gone to control himself without good advice. Fortunately, we aro here to advlso you. Say he's beginning a second letter! Oreat heavens! Is he as bad as that? Writing 'em whole sale to a lot or foolish girls who trust him?

FREIGHT CARRIED CHEAPLY Make a Direct Saving In Ccst of Trans- ' portatlon by the Water Routes, and . Indirectly Serve to Lower Railway Carrying Rates. The claim has been made In previ ous articles and facts and IIkuivh erlven to support the claim that yvu t. rwnys carrv fr Kht nicro cheaply than tlie mllwa.n !l i or can, and that they ni.ni el the railways to carry freight ii'ore i houply than they other wis'; would, making a saving of hun dreds of millions of dollars a year, oven under present coni'HIins, and Indicat ing a vast luct use . tl.at saving If all waterways hIxiiiM be improved. And then the striiung assertion was made that tho surest way to enlarge the business and lnctease the prolits of the railroads or the I'nited States Is to Improve tho waterways or the t'nlted Statns. The best guide to the future Is the experience of t!-e p.m. so let us see what has actually hap pened to railways when waterwttvs htuo been improved. That the Improvements in the chan nels and haibirs of fhe lakes have been of great benefit, both to the rait wavs which parallel their shores and to those which run from lake cities to the Interior, Is 11 fact so plain that It needs no argument to support It. There are no more prosperous and prolltable roads In the country than tho.se that serve the region tributary to the lakes. But no one questions the wisdom of continuing tho Improve- nient of the lakes, or of our ocean ' harbors. The real question is as to the Improvement of our rivers, and If we wish to study the effect of river Improvement, either on railway reve nues or national development, wo must go to ISuropo. Results in Bohemia. During the fifteen years that im provements were under way on tho Elbe river, In Hohouila. the river Iraf lie. as a natural result of the better cVnunel, increased OvofoM. Uut t rif fle 011 the cotfpeting r.diwavs In creased still more largely and the div idends on the main line, from Tcplltz to Ausslg, rose to 10 per cent, per annum. Similar results followed the canali zation of the River Main, from May ence. on tho llhlue, to Frankfort, which was ilnlshed in the latter part ' or 1SS0. Tho river tralllc. which ' amounted to only I'lJ.Mm tons In that year, began to grow mid litis kept on stowing, bring l.'-'T.'l.OOO tons In 1 '.02 mere are iwo rauroaus oeiweeu iranitiori ami .Muyence, one on eucn ' side or the river. What happened to thein? Did their business show a se rious falling off? Or were they forced Into the hands of n receiver? On tho contrary their tralllc, which was 911, DOO tons in 1880, also began to grow, and by 1'Jttl! had readied 1,1)00.000 tons, or more than double what It was when tho railroads had a practical monopoly of tho business of Frank fort. The mere statement of tho In creased tonnage does not tell tho whole truth of the matter, for the tonnage was not only more than doubled In quantity, but greatly raised In grade, so that it could pay, and did pay, a much higher rate per ton per mile. Fine German Waterways. Practically all the railways or Oer - ninny aro stato owned and state opcr- ated. Out or a total or 85,000 miles, in roiuiii milliners, oniy ntioui ,;ue miles tire operated by private coin- panic s. (icrmany also has one or tho linest systems mt watrvays in tho world, and a study of the balance sheet of tho German railway system shows that the results which followed tho improvement of the Itlver Main urn not nn execution, a nieYe coinci dence, but aro tho natural outworking of a principle of general application. In the calendar year 1907, after paying for nnnrntlon. maintenance, renalrs. i-f.iiovvni. new niiulnmciit. interest on bonds, contribution to tho sinking fuud, and every other Item which the most careful bookkeeping required to bo charged up, tho German railways turned $104,000,000 of absolutely net revenues Into the treasuries of the various states. This was $n,0,0 per mllo of lino operated, while the corre sponding figure on United States rail ways for tho fiscal year 100C-7 was only n.97 a llttlo over one-third ns much. , Much the greater part of the total ' revenuo of the German stales Is de rived from their rallwns. 71 cents out of every dollar received by Pi-tushi In j 1007 being so obtained. Yet Gorman i stutcMiion keep on, year niter year, spending money earned bv their rail t ways In building and luipin.tug wut.r- wavs to compete with tho.se same rail- i ways, on which they depend as the principal source of natlonnl Income. I In the light of tho' facts given abovo It will not do to say that these Ger- j man statesmen do not know what they arc about. On tho contrary, thc-y nro acting, as has been woll said, "In fur- i thoranco of a policy the wisdom of i which time nnd experience have fully confirmed." AlwayB and everywhere tho result Is tho same tho Improvement of a waterway Is a boneflt to competing railways. For this result, as for any other, thero Is a good nnd sufficient reason, but It must bo left for another Uuio to tell what that reason Is, ' mti..si..nei- I'mc( tdhs M'" vhn is p.ist Hie ag" of S"i ji'hu. j iti.tl lu iimne or place of resiile lii' a ml iigiei s to Uei-p the said Mr. Ami ei.siin in board imi. deem it nceesviivx to make other iiirnnKUicii'.s in iheMiid mutter.
