If you ever want to catch a train,
don't take forty winks at the nation
while waiting for your train to pull in.
This is the rueful conclusion
reached by a young Des Moines man,
a frequent visitor, who spent Monday
in Omaha.
An ardent republican, he came down
especially to attend the big Hughes
meeting: at the Auditorium, and was
carried away by the enthusiasm of
i the monster crowd. A party of friends
pressed him to stay over until the
I next day.
i -. "Impossible?' quoth he, "I just
came down to hear Mr. Hughes, but
4 1 absolutely must be at my office
'early tomorrow morning. Important
business, I shouldn't have come. I
v must take the late train back."
; So he spent the rest of the evening
J- with his friends, who at midnight
v. drove him down to the station, where
I he purchased his ticket and berth
i reservation. - . -B
Th train was late. The vnunv
man paced the floor, smoked endless
cigars, grew wearier and wearier. He
sat down to meditate upon the splen
did speech delivered by Justice
Hughes. -'-'- . (
"By jove, he's the only man to be
president of the United States." His
thoughts pictured the returns on elec-
tion day, the inauguration, and Mr.
and Mrs. ' Hughes at home in the
White House. - . ..." . ,
"Boom! Boom) Boom! Boom I"
The young man awoke with a start.

collars, it returns to the stage of fashion this year
in the same part, but varies the round of its ex
istence at the bottom of coats, as shown in this model;
also, to be "different," it often forms the deep gauntlet

The Girl Who
Would If She
Could
By THE JESTER.
I am asked to say a few words
about the girls (and they are, curious
ly enough, a fairly large number),
who seem to be, as far as the marriage
marker' is concerned, superfluous.
Well, I have no objection to doing so,
Even if my words are accepted as
final in certain quarters, I don't sup
pose they will materially affect the
course of the world's history or, for
that matter, the judgment of one sin
gle male soul who is contemplating
taking a wife.
My petitioner is inclined to torget
that superfluities are bound to exist.
It is no use our worrying oar heads as
to whv thev exist, still less attempt
ing to legislate for their usage. The
fact remains, and we have got to ac
cent it. She also overlooks the fact
that twenty centuries ot alleged civ
ilisation have tailed to convince any
one except a few odd eugemsts and
other congenital lunatics that mating,
except by the process c attraction, is
not the right and proper thing.
It is all very well to argue, as av lot
of people do, that certain girls nd
certain men would make excellent
wives and husbands. Very possibly
they would, only nobody happens to
think so, except those people who
make the remark, and, curiously
enough, they are the ones who never
seem inclined to put their theories
into practice.
frankly, l can never understand
why anyone ever attempts to argue
out love or anything connected with
it, on the book. One has only to look
around and see the people who do
et married to appreciate the fact that
nothing is impossible where love is
concerned.
It I see a man who is to me the
anothesis of unselfishness, through
nd through a white man, married to
a nine oraimcsa putterny, wno merely
lives to spend his money and ignore
the strength of his affection, 1 can
didly confess I am not filled with
bewilderment. -
Being what he is. he was bound in
the ordinary course of events, and
chiefly by the eternal law of polarity,
to choose someone who lacks all the
qualities he possesses.
Keaiize once, humanlv SDeakinsr.
there is neither rhyme nor reason in
love, and you will cease to "want to
know why' about anything connected
with it.- I have seen numberless vast
ly attractive girts (to met) who
haven't got married, and an equal
number of vastly unattractive girls
(alsoo me I) who have.
It is just an indefinable something.
cal) it what you will, which attracts
people to each other. When we can
find out what it is, how to acquire it,
and how to instruct other oeoDle to
obtain it, we can then help the "ones
left nyer to get married, for there
will be no superfluities then.

The Times When Human Hearts 'Are United
By FORTUNE FREE.
Napoleon .was a wise man who
knew much about the Jiuman heart.
He recognized the strange power of
misfortune to ally people whom no
prosperity would ever unite. When
one of his proudest marshals achieved
a wonderful success against the
forces of two of his enemies he ap
proached Napoleon fbr his praises.
Napoleon declared he had done well
and expressed his admiration of his
measures against such a union.
But he warned him there might be
a big danger still. The marshall
shrugged his shoulders and scattered
the pinch of snuff he was conveying
to his nose as if he were scattering
the combination of those shattering
enemies. - '
"What could they effect now?" he
asked.
"You may defeat two people while
they at;e prosperous," pointed out Na
poleon, "and find them more serious
enemies than ever when unfortunate.
When prosperous, armies rarely act
together. Scores of small causes of
dissension arise which separate them.
All these disappear in a time of ad
versity. They are swept aside. Then
leaders are apt to become really
united as they never- have been be
fore. Beware I"
Bret Harte once told the story of
a community in the wild west who
learnt a lesson to that effect. There
was one man among them who had
picked up a considerable smartness in
medicine and surgery. He was de
cidedly useful, but that did not pre
vent ne of the community who ob
jected to him shooting him one day.
No one bothered particularly about
the incident until sickness broke out
in the camp. Then people used tb
walk from one cabin to another, la
menting that "Old Pills" had been so
unfqrtunateljr cut off. They recalled
then all of his good qualities.
He was a fine fellow, "Old Pills."
One man remembered ( how he had
traveled ten miles one fearful niirht.
when every yard was full of danger,
to visit his sick child. Another re
membered that "Old Pills";, never
worried him for pay, but was always
ready to do his best. I hey was quite
right. He had been a thorouarhlv
good fellow. But they had thought
remarkably little about him when he
had been so helpful to them. They
sighed now. Why had they not shot
the scoundrel who had shot "Pills"
before he put an end to such a good
fellow?
But is not that the way of the
world? Doesn't it withhold sympa
thy and help .from those to whom it
would mean so much tilt disaster
having come which they might have
prevented sympathy and help cannot
do very much? ' t "-
Criminals would have no-chance if
honest men were really united in
brotherly love of one another.
"Nine-tenths of the disasters of
families," declared Lord Chancellor
Cairns, "come through family division
