"If you'll promise not to give me any ad
vice about my garden I won't even breathe
In the direction of your'."
The Post Graduate Husband disdained to
promise 1 ut his scornful glance was quit
pledge enough.
Ijiter they set out tln-lr precious bulbs.
And then the, winds came and once In a
is lie the aun shone. Kvery morning the
Amateur Wife rose early and visited the
stretch of brown earth in which for the
time at least ehe centered her heart and
hopea.
The Poat Graduate Husband stayed In
the house and jeered. ' v
"Why don't you dig them up to aee how
they are getting along?" he asked airily.
And then one morning a flushed and ex
cited young person burst Into the dining
room where he lingered over his morning
coffee.
"Come, see my bulbs. Oh, please come
right away and see them," she called out.
"There's a lot of little green speara shoot
ing out of the ground. I feel like the per
son that aowed the dragon's teeth and sol
diers came up what waa her name, any
how?"
The Poat Graduate Husband rose and
followed his wife Into the garden, but
after on quick glance at the pale green
bayonets her bulbs had sent tip his eye
strayed to the still bare garden spqt h.e
had planted with his own hands. ' ev
He was destined to watch It tot many
daya. And then, when His Wife's garden
waa furnishing flowers for the center table
he cased at his still unquickened flower bed
and found the explanation..
"I must have known there was no use
planting with a dog I ke that around," he
exclaimed, gaxlng at the giddy,.- aelt-coa-.
acloua Woof-Woof. "I'll bet he dug every
one of thoae bulbs up."
"That'a right, blame It on the dog." aald
the Amateur Wife with a queer little amlle.
"He can't deny It."

And, let me tell you something. I should
like to aay It so emphatically that It would
BUMP! It la not the girls or the women
writers who regard marriage aa a big,
fine, wholesome naturaf career who make
men conceited. It la the girls, like you, who
will not be honest with yourselves or with
the men. You pretend to be !'auperlor". to
natural Inclinations and to place "friend
ship" and "comradesh p" higher than the
relation of marriage. Just try to Incorpor

women, when he made the phrase a fash

I want you to atop feeling "'cheap and

Laws for

code of laws governing painters and the
exercise of their craft, which are singu
larly strict and exhaustive, according to
reports. -I
(rom the fashion in which the new laws
hedge them In with enforced precaution
one would think painting the most danger
ous trade in the whole catalogue. In the
first place no employer of painters may
employ a man who drinks alcoholic bever
ages to the temporary extinction of his
logical power, and no Intoxicating liquors
are to be brought Into the vicinity of the
workers. Employers are responsible for
the care which their men take of their
persons.

clothes on the street or In hla home which
he uaes In his trade. He Is imperatively
required to arm himself with a special ault

Contractors and master painters are re

The law strictly forbids scraping of dry

I Tabloid History of the Presidents
v - J
First of all the presidents, George Wash
ington's first term, which began on April
10, 17W, waa so auspicious that he was
chosen unanimously for a second term by
the electors. Washington himself desired
to retire to private life, but his contem
poraries perauaded him otherwlae.
Two of the greatest statesmen a( that
day, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander
Hamilton, although they differed widely
on many aubjecta, were at one In thla.
Jefferson wrote, "The confidence of the
country Is centered In you. North
and south will hang together if you hang
on."
And Hamilton's plea la aa urgent. "I
truat, and I pray Ood," he wrote, "that
you will determine to make a further
sacrifice of your tranquillity and happi
ness to the public good."
Consequently Washington took the oath
of office for the second time on March 4,
1788.
The first inauguration took place In New
York. Urlswold .says .of the occasion:
"In the evening, the city waa brilliantly
Illuminated and there waa a display of fire
works, under Colonel Bauman, surpassing
anything of th kind hitherto seen In New
York. Between the Bowling Green and
the fort at the toot of Broadway waa a
large transparent portrait of Washington
under a figure of Fortitude, and the aenate
and house of representative were exhib
ited, one on the light, the other on the left,
under tHe forma of Justice and Wisdom."
William Maclay, senator from Pennayi-

(Continued from Yeaterday.)
The first rail roadway, constructed In lsoi,
eonelsted of nothing more than crude sup
ports on which timber stringers were laid,
the stringers being grooved to hold and
guide the wheel of carts passing over
them. I.ater the track was made more
serviceable by pegging the wooden string
ers or raJla to cross-ties placed some dis
tance apart, and placing on the ralla a
facing of strips of hard wood where the
weight of the cart wheels came- The
grooves for guiding the cart wheels were
soon transferred from th center to the
side of the rails and formed what were
known aa "atep ralla."
The next development waa the "strap
rail," Introduced about ITU. This wVs a
alender strip ef Iron about three-quarter
of an Inch In thlokneea, pegged down to
the wooden ottingere In such a position as
to receive tbe weight of the rolling wheels.
Although strap rails were very uneatlfao
tory, they were, nevertheless, In quite gen
eral uae aa late aa 1830. The principal
difficulty with strap rails waa that no sat
isfactory means was ever devised to keep
them securely fastened to the wooden
stringers or ties The weight of the rolling
stock would loosen them at the loin la and
tha rails would spring up. f orniina what
war ceiled "snake heads." Usuall a

vanlaT said of him, "The president's amia
ble deportment, however, smoothes and
sweetens everything." Count Mouetler, the
French minister, wrote to hla government.
"The opinion of General Waahtngton la of
auch weight that It alone contributed more
than any other measure to cause the prea
ent constitution to be adopted." .
In March, 177, Washington attended his
successor's Inauguration and retired to his
country place at Mount Vernon to resume
the life of a country gentleman of Vir
ginia. In a little more than two" years
later he paused away, and tributes to the
memory of the great aoldler and atateeman
have been auch as no other historical
character has commanded.
(Copyrjght, 191 U by tha N. Y. Hers!4 Oo.)
trackman had to follow each train to fasten
down these snak heads. High speed was
dangerous on such track.
Cast Iron ralla came Into use about 1707.
The first rails of this kind were made by
the Colebrookdale Iron works and were
used at tbe luke of Norfolk's collerle near
Bheftleld, England. These cast Iron bar
took th place.-of the wooden stringers pre
viously used. They were usually three
feet long, four Inches wide at th top and
three Inches high. They were later cast
with a ridge or shoulder along tbe edge,
making them olmilar to the step rail.
In 1789 the most Important development
recorded up to that time waa IntroAcad
by William Jeasop, who tranaferred tha
flange which guided the wheela from th
rail to the wheel Itself, a principle that
endurea to th preaent day. Jeasop'a rails
were of cast iron and had a smooth level
top about one and three-quarter Inches
wide, carried by a thla "fish-bellied" web.
Thfcse rails were at first bolted or plnn4
direct to the ties, but were later aup
ported by "chairs," which were fastened te
the ties.
