From the World.
W. Irwin, an old man past sixty, was
struck by the passenger Saturday even
ing on the Pebble creek bridge east of
Snyder. Irwin was hoblicg across the
bridge on crctcbea and was unable to
get out of the way although evidently
he saw the train approaching. The en
gineer says he saw an object huddled be
side the traok on the bridge, but at
first took it to be one of the water barrels
which are used for fire protection and
did not make an effort to stop the train,
which was running 40 miles an hour.
Irwin at the last minute attempted to
climb over the bridge and was struck a
glancing blow by the engine. He was
knocked twenty feet into the prater of
Pebble creek. The train was brought to
h stop and when found the injured man
was sitting in the mud . washing his
wounds. He wan placed in the baggage
car and taken to Snyder.

It f April Feeling That Deabtleas
'Meant 'Disgrace of Dignities'
Functionary.
Charles Frohmaa, in the smoking
own of the Lusitaala, told an April
I fool stonr.
"A Fifth avenue millionaire," he
Jald, "had a butler of homorou beat.
The butler was English. He had
worked seven years hi a duke's house
bold. Therefore bis word was law
on questions of etiquette.
"To oblige his friends the million
aire would let them send their own
young butlers to bis palace to serve a
day or two under the English veteran.
The youngsters leaned a lot in this
way. The Englishman was made a
.regular free school of. But he didn't
mind.
v"It happened, one spring day, that
the millionaire waa giving a dinner to
a German prince. A friend's butler,
as usual, waa helping the veteran to
get the table and wines ready and at
the same time waa taking a lesson in
butlership.
'"Since this here man's a prince,
Mr. Potts, is there anything special In
the way we are to serve him?' the
pupil inquired.
"The tumorous butler Potts, re
membering that It chanced to be the
1st of April, said calmly:
"'There's only one specialty, and
I'll leave that to you, my boy. When
his highness sits down you must take
up his napkin, unfold it and knot it
round his neck, continental fashion.'
'"Hadn't you better do it, Mr.
Potts?' said the youth, timidly.
"'No,-no; it ain't my place,' was
the reply.
"Potts forgot all .about his joke In
the press of work that followed.
Therefore his' surprise and horror al
most equaled his master's when, the
guests having seated themselves that
evening at the magnificently laid ta
ble, the young butler leaned over the
prince, took his napkin, shook it out
with a nervous flourish and then knot
ted It like a bib about the dumb
founded potentate's neck."
Agricultural Resources of Chile.
"Chile is one of the richest coun
tries in South America," remarked
H. A. Vlngut, a mining engineer, who
has spent the last ten years in that
country. "Not only is It rich la mines,
but its agricultural resources are un
limited. In the southern part of Chile
are Immense stretches of cattle and
sheep lands and as good grazing
grounds ai those of Texas. In the cen
tral part of Chile are hundreds of thou
sands of acres of fertile lands that will
grow almost every known crop. Of
course, Argentina Is the premier
wheat producing country of South
America, but it cannot surpass Chile
in the quality of raln grown.
"There are fewer Americans In
Chile than in any other South Amer
ican country, I believe. I don't know
the reason for this, unless It la that
the Chilean people are not overfond
of Americans. Germans and English
men seem to be la favor with the peo

The Language of Clothes.
A pompous colored woman wheeled
into the cloak department of a down
town store.
"Can I direct you. madam?" inquired
one of the managers.
"Yes-sah. Ah wants the gown de
pahtment." "What kind of gowns, madam?" fur
ther inquired the official.
"Why, women's gowns, of co'se,"
replied the customer, disgustedly.
"T'all think Ah wants a gown fo' a
man?"
"But. madam," explained the man
ager, "you see we have different kinds
of gowns. There are tailor-made
gowns, evening gowns and night
gowns."
"No, sah," put in the woman,
promptly, "Ah don' want no tailah
made gowns, or night gowns, or early
in the evenln' gowns. What Ah wants
Is jes' a plain gown to do wasbln in.
Ah wants a calico wrapper. That's

Forty as the Voting Age for Women.
One of the objections to woman's
suffrage has been that it destroys the
home. The woman who goes to the
polls neglects her young brood I am
now referring to those who are mar
ried. The unmarried woman loses
her maidenly charm and reserve and
young girls will be too apt to be
swayed here and there by emotions
or some consideration. Very well.
Let all women vote at 40 years of
age, and not before. Here Is a solu
tion. The matron of 40 would have
children quite well started toward ado
lescence. The unmarried lady of 40
would find a metier. In case she had
not one, and at that age there would
be less chance of her marrying than
at 20, and she should certainly at this
tune of life know her own mind.

VERY CLOSE TO PERFECTION.
Uncle Sam's Post Office 'System Needs
Little Improvement, According
to Business Man.
"There may be some things Uncle
Sam could do- toward improving his
post office system," said the man with
the derby hat, "but he certainly is the
boy when it comes to delivering let
ters with queer addresses.
"I was with a bunch that got to tell
ing stories about instances they per
sojully knew of in which crazy ad
daises .had gone through all right.
One' man told of letters, addressed
merely with the name of some un
known immigrant and the under line
'New York that had been delivered,
and another told of a letter addressed
simply 'Reads both ways .the same,
Springfield, Mass.,' that had been
handed to the right party Mr. Otto
Boob, or some such name. And then
we got to arguing whether a letter ad
dressed in Chinese would go through.
We finally got up bets about it, and I
was appointed to make the experi
ment. "I went to a Chinese laundryman I
knew and got him to write on an en
velope in Chinese characters the name
and address of a friend of mine in a
little town in Pennsylvania. When the
Chinaman got through with that en
velope it looked as if an ink brush
had been doing a fancy dance on it.
I then stamped and mailed it. In a few
daysvmy friend wrote that it had been
delivered to him as promptly as if it
had been addressed in English."
MAKE WORK FOR POST OFFICE
Imperfectly Addressed Letters Seem
ingly Are on the Increase
in Germany. '
The dead letter department of the
German imperial postoflice is work
ing overtime, and from a comparison
of the statistics compiled for a num
ber of years the persons who use the
mails are growing more careless or ig
norant of the correct method of writ
ing the address. Of every million
pieces of mail handled by the imperial
post the undellverable matter in
creased from 327 pieces in 1904 to 396
in 1907, a gain of 21.7 per cent. Dur
ing the latter year an average of 10,
000 pieces of mail were sent daily
to the dead letter department to puz
zle the experts.
Although illiteracy is exceedingly
rare among the native Germans, where
a good education is possible for any
child, nevertheless the incorrectly ad
dressed letters are, for the most part,
examples of a woeful lack of school
ing. It is very probable that 'in the
vast majority of cases the sender is
a newly arrived immigrant, possess
ing practically no education one of
the great class that has been attract
ed by Germany's rapid commercial
development. Many of the "dead" let
ters entirely omit the point of desti
nation in the address, and others
give only the first name of the ad
dressee. In 1907 75 per cent, of the
non-deliveries were of the picture pos
tal variety. Harper's Weekly.
First Ocean Leviathan.
The Great Eastern long since went
to the junk heap, and remains only a
memory. After doing time for a
few years as a public exhibit she was
broken up in 1891 at an English ship
yard. Even compared with the modern
ocean liners, the Groat, Eastern would
make a pretty respectable showing,
so far as dimensions so, at least. Her
length Was 692 feet, beam, 83 feet, and
depth CO feet. Her tonnage was 22,500,
displacement, when loaded, 27,384
tons, and horse power, 11,000. For
her time the Great Eastern was an
ocean giant, indeed, as may readily
be seen by comparing her with the
Mauritania and Lusitania, the largest
passenger steamships alloat to-day.
They are 790 feet in length, with beam
88 feet and depth 60.6 feet. They each
have an indicated horse power of
21,000.
The keel of the Great Eastern was
laid in May, 1854, and she was
launched on January 31, 1858. Her de
signer was Isambard K. Brunei, and
she was built by Scott Russell of Mil
hall at a cost of $3,660,000. As a pas
senger vessel she was a failure, but
she did lay the first successful Atlan
tic cable in 1866, and picked up and
repaired the earlier one, which had
parted in midoccan.
Boundary of Canada.
It was decreed by the convention
of 1818 and the treaty of Washington
of 1846 that the boundary between the
Urited States and Canada from the
Lake of the Woods to the Pacific a
distance of 1,270 miles should fol
low the forty-ninth parallel. The sur
veyors who have lately completed the
location of the boundary have found
that the astronomical parallel varies
from a direct circle around the earth,
and, Prof. Klotz explains the curious
fact that the line, instead of being
straight, is at one place 800 feet south
of the direct circle and at the other
place 600 feet north. It was decided
that the astronomical parallel or line
through places where the pole is 41
degrees from the zenith should be
the accepted boundary' This decision
was followed, but local attraction in
seme places deflects the plumb line
and therefore the zenith, and the as
tronomical forty-ninth parallel proves
to be a quite irregular line.
Quite Warm.

alchemist's Formula All Correct with
the Exception of Trifling
Little Detail.
, Joe Mitchell Chappie tells this one
in his magazine:
Very suggestive is the story of the
New Jersey man who felt that he had
t last invented a process for manu
facturing eggs. He experimented un
til he discovered the component parts
3f a natural egg the milk, fibrin,
ohosphorus and all the rest and hast
ened to secure them. Then he an
nounced to the druggist whom he
patronized for his chemicals that all
he needed now to insure success was
cold weather, when eggs would sell
for 50 and CO cents a dozen. Decem
ber saw the looked-for period arrive,
and the inventor's new copper kettle
was set over the flame of the kitchen
gas range; the mixture was placed in
it and the scientist proceeded to op
crate with a blowpipe. The fibrin, the
phosphorus and the lest of the chem
icals stood it as long as they could
and then expressed their feelings in a
mighty explosion the neighbors
nought their cellars, while the glass in
windows and doors fell in splinters.
Discussing his failure with the
druggist and other friends, among
them Congressman Gardner of New
Jersey, the puzzled alchemist said for
the tenth time:
"Perhaps I forgot to include some
essential in my formula."
"Yes." said Mr. Gardner, dryly
"you did forget something."
"And do you know what it was?"
eagerly queried the experimenter.
"I certainly do," said She congress
man.
"Tell me. tell me what i is and for
tune will be assured to us both."
"A hen, just a common, ordinary
hen," replied the congressman from
Egg Harbor, unfeelingly.
A FACTORY WITH TWO RULES
Method by Which Up-to-Date Super
intendent Restored Plant to
Paying Basis.
Some years ago a superintendent
took charge of a run-down factory. It
had stopped paying dividends under
the former superintendent When the
new executive investigated he found
out why. From top to bottom that
plant was a graveyard of errors, blun
ders, mistakes. Dead stock was rout
ed out here, spoiled work there. Much
of it had been stowed out of sight by
men no lqnger with the company. The
old superintendent had worked on the
assumption, a very common one, that
efficient men make no mistakes, that
when a man is found in error it proves
his inefficiency, and that the thing to
do then is to discharge him before he
can make any more. When all these
costly private graveyards had been
cleaned up (the company had paid for
every one of them), the new superin
tendent made two rules absolutely
plain to everybody in the place:
(1) Nobody will ever be discharged
for a mistake alone.
(2) Anybody will be discharged In
stantly for covering up one.
When anything goes wrong in that
factory to-day the employe responsible
reports direct to the boss. The mat
ter is talked over freely and fully. An
error is considered valuable for the
light it will throw on ways of avoiding
it next time If the employe need3
censure (and he often dees), it is giv
en reasonably and" quietly. Then the
incident must be forgotten by every
body. That plant began paying divi
dends again in the new superintend
ent's second year, and he is now presi
dent of the company. Circle Maga

however, we do not seem to have
reached that point where we know
when to stop. The mistaken notion
seems to prevail that the man who ac
complishes his aims must die in the
harness: that, like the captain, he
must stick to the ship till the last.
And when this spirit is applied to
the mere amassing of millions, the
purpose, too, becomes sordid and un
natural. It were far better for such
persons as have gained a competence,
and a great deal more, to retire from
the commercial battlefield and give
over their remaining years to rational
enjoyment of life to going about and
doing good for others, if you please.
A Smart Lot of Boys.
If the boys of America wish to keep
their reputation for smartness, they
must get a hustle on them. Within
the last 3'ear the boys or Japan, none
of them over 15 years old, have turned
out typewriters, telephones, pianos,
door locks, and some of the most in
genious mechanical toys ever placed
on the market. Most Japanese boys
have natural skill with tools, and
there is now a shop at Tokyo run by a
boy in which 50 other boys are con
