"1 tola you It tu-ouldn't be man

rays now could 1 and your grandma
ind your Aunt Harey git along wltn
out no little boy In the house?"
"But I'd come back and visit you,
rten and often. Honest 1 would."
Aunt Lou explained that anyone
illowed the great prlvllego of enter

Sitting at the kitchen table with

little James Btimson was not only
uncommonly and mightily gifted, but
beyond the shadow or a doubt one
of those rare darlings of the gods,
predestined by the Powers on High
to great riches and sure and easy
fame and success.
Although the Judge Joked irrever
ently about the sainted dead ba was
as one with the women in their Inter
est in Dr. Jim's orphaned son. Indeed
the Judge became so besotted that
the story, probably entirely apocry
phal, apread through Now Concord
that he had been In love with Molly
Kwlng Stimson.
A more likely explanation Is that
the Judge was meant to have at least
a dozen children. As the ex -govern
nor's law partner he was often at
the Stlmsons and saw much of the
little boy: the prodigal affection that
should have been scattered among a
dozen centered on James.
Most of the women accepted the
Judge's pronouncements concerning
the hopo of the Htlmsons without
cavil or question. Not so Miss Julia
Pratt, his great friend and near
neighbor. Miss Julia gave it as her
belief that the poor child was pur
sued by a Jinx, losing bis father and
mother so early and all. The Judge
pooh-poohed this as the reasoning of
a nitwit and entirely unworthy of

Blnnlnit April 1. Union Pacific
will luaiiRiirat additional faat train
service between Portland and Chl
'aso, atata an announcement made
by A. S. Edmonda, assistant traffic
manaKer.
I It will be a mornlnj? service from
1 Portland. Leaving at 8:40 and arriving
in Chicago, arriving in Chicago at
9:25 p. m., making the run In approxi
mately the same t::r.s as the fast
Portland; Rose, which leaves Portland
at 9:35 p. m. and arrives in Chicago
ac o:ou p. m.
The announcement states that this
train will be known as Pacific Lim
ited and will afford paseenKer service
exclusively, the equipment consisting
of Standard Pullmans, coaches and a
combination dlnlng-observation car.
This additional service Is said to
provide one night from Portland to
Salt Lake City and Denver and two
nights to Kansas city, Omaha and
Chicago Through service Is also of
fered to Yellowstone and Grand Teton
national parks during the park sea
son. "We consider this an Ideal setup In
train service from Portland." stated
Mr. Edmonds. It will, beginning April
first, give Union Pacific double serv
ice dally to the east, the new train
departing at 8:40 In the morning and
arriving in Chicago at D:25 in the
evening, while the schedule of the
Portland Roso will be the present de
parture of 6:35 p. m., and arrival in;
Chicago at 8:50 a. m.
"It will be noted that these two
trains will make the run In approxi
mately the same elapsed time. Double
service will enable passengers to dis
tinguish between the two trains ac
cording to tnelr needs or desires, the
evening train arriving in Chicago in
time for morning connections east
and the morning tram out of Port
land making evening connections at
Chicago. This morning train Ukewls?
provides a daylight trip through the
Columbia River Gore, past the
much-publicized Bonneville dam and
over the Blue mountains, meeting an
Insistent demand upon the part of
ootn the local people, and tourists
who come out liero with their minds
i made up to see the gorge at first
hand and to Inspect the gigantic
1 power project of the Columbia river
I which the government is undertaking.
"Still another feature," said Mr.
Edmonds, "will be the speeding up
and Improvement of service between
local points on our line "
