"How do you manage your railroad in this country?" inquired the man from Mars. "In those countries of the old world which 1 hare visited they are owned and managed by tho government." "Inasmuch as I havo never been nbrond," replied the politician. "I must af course conclude that their methods are purely theoretical. We in this coun try pride ourselves on being practical." "May I ask you to explain?" said tho man from Mars. "Certainly." replied the politician. "Our practice proceeds on the theory that the government is too poor and too Inefficient to own and manage our rail. ways. Accordingly the work Is turned over to private individuals." "And are the individuals trustwor thy?" "By no means," said the politician "We havo to appoint railroad commis sions to watch them." "The commissions, then, nre to be depended upon?" "Not at all. They are watched by the legislatures." "And the legislatures?" "They in turn are watched by the magazines." "Oh, I see; the magazines are the final arbiters. That is very interest ing." "No; you are mistaken. The maga zines nre watched by the people." "Of course. It finally gets back to tho people. They net upon the informa tion provided by the magazines. Surely the people do not need watching." "Wrong again. That's where we come in," said tho politician, proudly sticking his thumbs in the armholes of his waistcoat "We have to watch the people to keep them from watching us." "And how does it all work?" Inquired the man from Mars. "We are living very easy, thank you," answered the politician. Success Magazine. The Wako Was Fine. Dennis and Patrick were leaning over the rail of the big liner. Off to the starboard was a dingy coal barge, the hull of a once graceful clipper ship. "What kind of a boat is thot, Pat?" queried Dennis as he shaded his eyes with his hand. "Thot Is what yez call a dead ship," replied Patrick. Dennis wntchpd the bubbles churning under her stern for a long while. "Pat!" "Well. Dinny?" " 'TIs a dead ship, eh?" "YIs. Dinny." "Well, bedad. Ol b'lavo ut Look ut the big wake she has." Detroit Trib une. A Subtle Difference. Mrs. Blank, wife of a prominent minister near Boston, bad In her cm ploy a recently engaged colored cook as black as the proverbial ace of spades. One day Mrs. Blank said to her: "Matilda. I wish that you would have oatmeal quite often for break fast My husband Is very fond of It He Is Scotch, and you know that the Scotch eat a great deal of oatmeal." "Oh, he's Scotch, Is he?" said Matil da. "Well, uow. do you know I was thlnkln' all along dat be wasn't des like us." Woman's Home Companion. Helping the Collection. "That little Miss Peckbam is quite a benefactor in her way." "A benefactor that horribly curi ous old maid! How is she a bene factor?" "Why, she always stands up in her pew to see how much that miserly Mr. Plncher puts on the plate. That's why he doesn't dare to give less than a quarter." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Appearances. "You can't Judge by appearances," said the serious youth. "No," answered the frivolous per son; "It's impossible to realize bow ab surd the clothes that are fashionable this season may look a few years from now." Washington Star. Isn't It?

Bartlett of Chicago, "nre more exclu she tbnn men. They form clans and gaze askance nt the newcomer who does not belong to their set" All of which is true. And the Chica go divine might have added the addi tional truth that women are also nar rower than men, less generous toward human faults and fallings and prone to viow strangers with suspicion. It is the exceptional woman who will tako a stranger on trust and think no evil. Tho brotherhood of man may some day be realized, but the sisterhood of woman will Ing behind the millennium. Women nre not wholly to blame for their petty child's play of belonging to a specinl circle and looking down on the rest of creation. Centuries of Igno rance and false standards of life are welded into this bauble called "exclu slveness." It is fostered by silly pride and bol Btered up by empty heads, and dually it bocomes a fetich to the woman and a matter of groat envy to her neigh bors. To bo "exclusive" is to miss the best of life, to bar out knowledge, to live In a hencoop. Your true democratic eye takes In the full sweep of the horizon. It Is not fixed on a knothole In the wall. I pity the "exclusive" woman pro foundly. How very, very tired she must get of tho snmo old bores in the same circumscribed social set, even though that set holds nothing but De Peysters and diamonds! When you visit tho social dictator at Smith's Crossroads you quickly learn to place the residence by the warmth of your hostess' smile or the stony cold ness of her stare. It is the same old pretense that the city keeps up transplanted to the cruder environment of the village. There may bo many more Interesting people outside the society woman's doors than In, bnt she will lose caste if she admits them, so she Iguorcs their presence. It would require courage to Invite to our homes such people ns we really llko or who need our friendship and thrust out the Inane, the vapid and no account, wouldn't it? If I find Mrs. O'Brien, the washwo man, more interesting, ns she certainly is wittier, than Mrs. de Gasoline, why shouldn't I have her at my party or reception? Half the wrinkles that Ihn the mod ern woman's brow and keep the mas seuse in spending money are due to the strain of keeping up a false posi tion before the world and trying to ap pear sevres or rare porcelain when in reality they are but common clay. MY LINEN CLOSET. A Housewife's Clever Invention For Keeping Her Table Linen. My linen chest, says a housewife in Good Housekeeping, is of solid wood thirty-five Inches high nnd forty-six Inches wide. It Is divided ncross the center into two compartments, each with a drop door thirty-nine inches A NEW INVENTION wide and twelve inches deep. These doors are supported by chains and form a good resting place for the linen while being selected. Each compart ment is again divided by n sliding shelf which has a deep groove on the under side, five Inches from either end. These nre made wide enough for the insertion of four fingers, making It easy to draw the shelf out and thus show exactly what It holds. The upper door has' a spring latch and the lower one a lock and key. In tho hitter the finer arti cles are put away with no fear of their being handled. This chest can bo made perfectly plain or as ornameutal as one may wish. In this case the prevailing stylo of woodwork iu the dining room was followed. The flat top makes a good serving table. Unbleached Muslin. The possibilities of unbleached mus lin are not appreciated. This cheap material Is of a mellow, creamy tone which lends Itself peculiarly to artistic decoration. For summer cottage hang Ings it is a most desirable material, the unevenness of weave suggesting certain silken fabrics. A pretty bed room In a summer cottage had the walls papered wlta delicate pink, and yellow roses upon a creamy ground, while all tho hangings the window curtains, the door curtains, tho bedspread, tho couch and chair covers and cushions were all of unbleached muslin finished with bands of cretonne to match tho wall pnper. Tho room was charming. Tea Cozies. The "old maid" tea cozies are tho quntest llttlo affairs seen in an art shop in n big city. They are built upon tho wlro frames which resemblo lamp shade frames and nre bought for but rests. Upon one of these Is mounted the quaintest little terra cotta head, with hair drawn plainly back Into n suug knot nnd with features kindly, but un mlstably of the spinster type. The wlro frame, which simulates a hoop skirt, is first padded, then piled with layers of berullled organdie. It is a clever novelty nnd has figured with popularity as the consolation prize at bridge parties. The Sinterhood of Women Will Behind the Millennium. S , ' ? r- tmmtmaam . , - LID ASKS"W, BETTER HMD Stage Line Man Petitions Dou glass County Commissioners, to Improve Coos Bay Route ROSEBURG, Ore., July 2. The Roseburg Review says: "James Laird, of Sltkum, Coos county, tho veteran stage-line man, has a very largely signed petition to the county court of this county, asking for' -an appropriation of $1,000 for the Im- '9- provement of the wagon road from the lS-mlle house to tho county lino. This is perhaps the worst portioned the old Coos Bay wagon road, reach ing, as It does, over the "backbone" of the Coast Range mountains. It is Imperative that this road should bo substantially improved or the mail' service between Roseburg and Marsh field may be entirely cut off durlng next winter. The Marshfield Cham ber of Commerce during last winter used every effort toward expediting the mall service between these points and a large portion of the heavier mail had to be diverted to other routes the Drain and Coos Bay route or by steamer from San Fran cisco. To avert the probability of losing this traffic altogether. It is im perative that the road between Rose burg and Marshfield be put Into such condition that the malls can be car ried through in a reasonable time at 4 all seasons of the year. Mr. Laird's petition has been almost universally signed by Roseburg's citizens and will doubtless be favorably consider ed by the county court." FREIGHT RATE REDUCED. New Tariff From Portland to Bandon. Shows Reduction of $2 n Ton. PORTLAND, July 2. By the end of the week, Portland merchants will be in position to make shipments by the water route direct to Bandon at a, saving of $2 a ton, and they will receive much quicker service. F. P. Baumgartner, of the California & Oregon Coast Steamship Company, owner of the Alliance, has returned from a business trip to Coos Bay. While there he made arrangements with a company which will place tho new gasoline schooner "Wllhelmina in commission between Coos Bay and Bandon next week to take care of Portland freight destined to the lat ter point sent to Marshfield on the Alliance. Heretofore all such ship ments have been going by rail and boat from Marshfield at a rate which was practically prohibitive. Under the new arrangement the volume of freight traffic to Bandon from hero Is expected to be trebled. WAVES GIVE UP PURSE. Capt. Johnson's Wife Recovers Lost Pocketbook. WEDDERBURN, July 2. Whila coming over the bar last Saturday with her husband, Captain Johnson of the schooner Enterprise, Mrs. Johnson lost her purse containing; $20 and some papers and keys. Yes terday a gentleman, while at work on the beach, picked up the purso and returned it to tho owner. Every thing was intact save the nickels and small change and the iron parts of the purse, which were in bad con dition by reason of the action of the salt water. THERE WILL.
