the two other young men who hnd
distributed thciuRelvcs between the
couch and the wicker chair nodded
Kravely at each other.
"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

"we might nn well clone our eyes on

It's hard to sf-e him running these
terrible Hkkh Dickie, Dickie, pause
In time!"
' What's i ho matter with you fel

without stopping his busy pen.
"Nothing Is the matter with us!"
replied the young man in the wicker
chair with great dignity. "Kvery one

'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

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

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

"Nor me!" threatened the young
man on the couch, In a tone of great
indignation.
The young man at the desk aroso
and surveyed thorn blandly. "I hope

IMPROVEMENT OF WATEnVVAO
WILL DEVELOP RESOUFtCEOf
OF EVERY SECTION.
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,
