Renting a Houseboat By LOUISE D. CUMMINGS "I've tried every way of upending the hot months," mild young Mrs. Yard ley, whUiw, "except yachting, aud I can't dj that because If too exten sive. Besides, a woman can't very well tackle a yacht." "Why don't you try a houseboat ?" "The very thing!

"Yes. mum; there's a good library with llllgiint liimlln' on the books.

"If the Isiat suits you." said the geu tleman as I lie couple walked away, "you are at liberty to take It.

While I have plenty of friends. I fear most of them have made their arrange ments for the summer." They were going to the station aud to the city on the same traiu. Before they parted they exchanged addresses that they might notify each other as to their future wishes and Intentions. Within a few days Mrs. Yard ley re ceived a note from the gentleman. Mr. Auchlncloss. that he had discovered they bad mutual friends In the Cbit tendeiis If she would Hrmlt him to call be would tell her of another house boat he had found for rent which inls.'ht please her better than the one she had seen. Permission wa grant ed, and Mr. Auchlncloss called. Now that they wore nciiualuted. they made a Joint excursion to the next houseboat and tills time were mis taken for an engaged couple by the caretaker, a fishermaa'a wife, who said she knew they weren't married because the gentleman was too polite and attentive. They were Iwth much pleased with this hotiselmnt. but con eluded to look further. For the next two mouths they continued to lok at houseboats together; then Mr. Auchin doss pnHiseil to Mrs. Yardley. and their Invest Igu; Ions ceased. Rut by this lime all the houseboats In the market were rented, and It was rather late In "he season anyway. So Mrs. Yardley. who had a trousseau to provide for an autumn wedding, con cluded not to go out of town at all that summer that she might make her preparations j Wok. Him Up. The young man was rather slow. So the girl thought it time to give him a hint. 'Gracious!" she exclaimed sud denly. "I've bruised my lip! Do you know, Mr. Jenkins, my mother always used to kiss a hurt place to make it well." t "And did it do any pood?" asked ! the young man, failing to see the : point "1 don't remember," replied the girl, getting desperate, "but those old fashioned remedies are some times very good."

Sproule, President of the Southern Pacific Company, when asked to discuss em ployment from the standpoint of the unployer, said In part: "It is the habit of the time to speak nf imemnlovment as If It related only to those who work for a specific hourly or daily, weekly or monthly, wage. It is tnougnt 0. cnie.., - ; latlng to those engaged in the humbler It Is thought of chieny as re-; rfnttP" f ttf Tk facts run Quite to the rnntran It la tlie emidover who Is first out of employment. As a natural sequence he Is followed by the employee, who next finfls himself out of work. Unemployment Degini only when the employer himself be gins to be unemployed When the employer is prosperous and his ener gies are profitably employed, em ployees have abundant employment and they also prosper. But why Is this period of unemployment! It Is because all business Is bewildered and uncertain. It does not know whither It may proceed In safety. It does not know with what snares Its path ncay be laid. This condition began with transportation and now extends to all business. The greatest trouble with this country today Is that every busi ness which has been developed by the genius of the American people has become the object of unforeseen at tack from some quarter or feels the threat or danger of attack. Our laws, which formerly were precise and def inite, have blanketed business with loose generalities called crimes, which the men who drew the laws and the men who Interpret those laws cannot themselves define with any precision. Even when they endeavor to expound i those laws they make them more ob- 'f scure and more mystifying than be-; fore. j "There is nothing more distressing to an employer of labor than to turn away good men who desire to do good work; but until all wake up to the fact that unless the employer Is prosperous the employee Is failing In , prosperity, we will have little lm- i provement Wnen we have learned i the lesson that in this nation we are ; simply a big industrial family. In : which we all prosper together or we do not prosper at all, we will then have promise of relief from the mis understandings and cajolements which increase unemployment and destroy the comfort and the prosperity of the average man. "I urge relief from the fads, fancies and Isms which have filled our streets with unemployment and put away the dinner pall of the working man empty upon the shelf In the impoverished home. I urge the restoration of con fidence in the fact that American men of business are the peers of any in the world. I urge that the American workinRman cannot be prosperous un less the American men of business prosper. I arge that prosperity can come to us only with the full dinner pail. Finally, I urge that the public interest in transportation is that it shall be prosperous in order that it may be a successful and energetic aid to all the business it Is designed to serve." W. F.
