miles. The mean height of their dis
appearance is about fifty-eight miles.

MUSLIN FROCK
The drawing today shows an un
pretentious little muslin frock. The
blouse is plain, that and the sleeves
are cut separate, the latter consisting
of two puffs of the material separated
by a close fitting band of embroidery.
There is a flat fichu crossing surplice
style in the front and broadening to
a round deep colar in the back. This
fichu is formed by a broad band of
embroidery flanked on either side by
a band of lace insertion piped in the
outer edge with the muslin of the
gown. The skirt closes on the left
under a band of embroidery which,
turning about a foit above the hem
encircles the skirt, thus heading
full ruffle of the material. A paral
lel band of embroidery is placed
about a foot above this' and the ma
terial is gathered into a broad ruffle
between.

"I'LL DIE TRYING."
Somebody blundered, and as a result
the Omaha fast mail, going nearly a
mile a minute, crashed into the Den
ver limited at Western Springs, and
thirteen persons were killed and many
wounded.
Engineer Bronson of the fast mall
died in his cab with his hand grip
ping the reverse lever.
Lying in the hospital, his face twitch
ing with pain. Fireman Crane told
how Bronson died.
He said:
"We got no warning until we were
within about 150 yards of the limited.
Then some one flagged us, and at the
same time a couple of torpedoes were
exploded.
'It was foggy. Before we knew i
we had crashed Into the Denver train.
Bronson died at the throttle. When
he saw death ahead he turned to me
and said:
"Train ahead. I don't think 1 can
stop her. I'm going to die trying.
"Well, he died that way. He stayed
right In his seat with his hand on the
reverse lever."
Somebody blundered.
Make your roadbed as level as a par
lor floor, build your cars of steel, put
semaphore towers every half mile, use
every safety appliance known, and yet
somebody may blunder.
You cannot Insure the perfect work
ing of the mechanism of the human
mind.
In this dreadful wreck somebody
blundered. It was not brave George
Bronson, though now he is dead they
are trying to throw part of the re
sponsibility on him.
He died trying.
Could any man die better than that?
Could death find a fitter time to
snatch away a mortal than in such a
moment?
Could a brave souled man go into
the presence of his Maker on Instant
call In a better way?
"I'll die trying."
George Bronson's life was ast dear
to him as yours is to yon. He loved
his dear ones there in Burlington as
you love your own, but he loved his
duty more!
He is but one of the great army of
railroad men, who live always in the
presence of death and duty; who, when
the clear call comes to them on the
instant, calmly push aside ail thoughts
of self and loved ones and die trying. "
To all such heroic souls and to the
intrepid soul of George Bronson, en
gineer, hail and farewell!
STRAIGHT INNOCENT
OF KILLING PHEASANT
Charles Straight, of-Parkplace, ac
cused by Game Warden Frank Ervin
of killing Chinese Pheasant, was ac
quitted by a jury in Justice or me
Peace Samson's uourc Tuesday.
Straight was represented by George
C. Brownell. Erwin alleged that the
defendant shot a pheasant August 12,
1912 near Parkplace. Mr. tsrowneu
introduced evidence which, tended to
show that the deputy game warden
was mistaken. The jury was com
posed of W. J. Rauch, R. E. Wood
ward, J: L. Mattocks, J. K. Morris
and C. R. Licesay.
Proof.
In the window of a Clark street res
taurant there was a sign which read.
"Second Cook Wanted." An applicant
made his way to the kitchen and found
the head cook. '
"There's the boss over there," said
the galley chief, jerking his head in
the direction of a man washing dishes.
'Don't kid me," said the caller, . "Tell
me if you want me or tell me if you
don't. There's no use of ringing in a j
dishwasher." j
The man at the sink picked a stack j
of plates out of the water and let them I
all fall to the floor with a smash.
'Now," he exclaimed, "tell me who
you think the boss is!" Chicago Post j

Living on the Heights.
We must learn to live in a beauty, an
earnestness, that shall become a part
of ourselves. In life there is no crea
ture so degraded but knows full well
which is the noble and beautiful thing
that he should do, but this noble, beau
tiful thing is not strong enough within
him. It is this invisible but abstract
strength that it must be our endeavor
to increase first of all. And this
strength increases only in those who
have acquired the habit of resting more
frequently than others, upon summits
where life absorbs the" soul, upon
heights whence we see that every act
and every thought are infallibly bound
up with something great and immor
tal Maeterlinck.

Industrial Education.
Two reports on vocational school
ing recently issued in this country are
worthy of attention. One is by Edwin
G. Cooley, former superintendent of
the Chicago schools, on the results of
a year's study of the vocational schools
of Europe. The other is bulletin No. 5
of the Wisconsin state board of in
dustrial education.-
As a summing up of his conclusions
Professor Cooley says: "The period of
childhood between the years of six
and fourteen should be preserved for
general cultural education, with ade
quate attention to the training of eye
and hand. No system of vocational
schools should be instituted that will
hurry boys and girls out of the ele
mentary school into the vocational
schools." In seeming contradiction to
this view, however, he goes on to speak
of the comparatively few he esti
mates them at 10 per cent who go
into the high schools and universities
and adds, "Not every one, however,
seems to be conscious of the fact that
the great masses who leave school at
fourteen either from choice or from
necessity to enter into vocational life
are entitled to as careful consideration
in our educational plans as their more
fortunate brothers."
The Wisconsin report offers as a
remedy for this condition the continu
ation school as developed in Germany.
There it starts in the eighth grade
and is compulsory for youth in em
ployment between fourteen and eight
een years of age. The continuation
school is vocational in character. It is
possible that eventually we shall be
compelled to adopt some such com
pulsory system in this country. That
seems the only way to give an ade
quate education to the vast mass of
children who leave school at an early
age. .
Clean Money.
By installing a system of washing
Machines in the subtreasuries the
United States government designs
giving us clean money. A dirty bill Is
to be washed like a dirty shirt. This
will remove germs, but what is to be
done for tainted money on which the
filth is moral rather than physical'
It will require something stronger
than soap and water to make this
clean.
Even so. the step Is welcome. If we
cannot make tainted money clean we.
can at least remove the dirt from bills
that have circulated so long that they
have the appearance of the ancient
printers' towel, it is hardly possible
to have individual money as we have
individual drinking cups, but we can
remove the groase, sweat, dust, mi
crobes iind similar foreign matter
once in a while. This will give ns a
chance to see the pictures on our bills
and to feel the crispness that puts
starch in a man's consciousness. As
money Is today we cannot even kiss
it goodby without danger of infection.
As for wetting the fingers to count it.
that is more dangerous than oscula
tion.
We are also informed that our bills
are to be smaller in size. This does
not mean that fractional currency in
the form of shinplasters is coming
back, but only that paper money is to
be shorter and narrower. The present
measurements are 3.04 by 7.28 Inches.
The new size is to be 2.5 by 6 inches.
The average man will scratch his head
a bit dubiously about this change. It
will decrease the size of his roll when
it is far too small already. The roll
big enough to choke a cow has largely
fbecome a thing of the imagination
Lanvhow. and with the amonntof the
paper in a bill cut down it will be
come so altogether.
