Chapman.) , Wulter Davis, on Ida way down to i hl offco, hupiHii(d to nhince up from his newspnper Seated opposite hlui, ! her pyoa llxei! carticBtly on his, was I tlio Klrl or Ilia dream, j Ho stared at her Incredulously; then, with a rosy Hush, she nut up ' and left the car hastily. Hy the 1 1 tint j Wulter hud gathered presence of mind j to follow her, situ was lost In the i crowd. j Ho continued Ids way to the office ! like a man In a dream. "Here I am," he mused, "twenty seven yeurs of age, making three thou sand a year In a business of my own. a shrewd, practical man, and the vic tim of a monstrous delusion that Is tukinK (ouiplete possession of me. Of course, it was only a coincidence!" And yet he knew that it was no coincidence. In brief, for the past month he Ii.nl seen In a dream tho face of a Kill, and III his dream he knew she was the one girl who was meant for him. Singularly clear was that dream face, bo that it had haunt ed his thoughts even during his bm-l Hess hours. And now be had seen the girl, In flesh and blood, in a prosaic street car. What was more to the point, she hud shown unmistakable signs of recognizing him. On succeeding days he fell Into the hublt of watching the successive street cars that passed the block where ho had mot her, before enter ing, hut, though he whlled away a number of hours In this pursuit, he failed In bis purpose. Gradually ar, the weeks went by the memory of the girl grew faint. And at last he had almost forgotten the incident. He went about his business In his usual methodical manner. Hut one day bis memory came hack Into vivid reality, for, as he looked out of hie office window for a moment, he saw the girl again. She was just crossing the Btreet, and, heedless of the stares of his amazed stenographer, Walter seized his hat and plunged down the mad after her Ho saw her, missed her, saw her ntuin upon the other side of the street. In a moment she would be lost. He dashed In'o the maze of traffic, heard shouts and the clanging tif car bells, felt a sharp blow between his shoulders, and lost consciousness. When ho opened his eyes five min utes Inter he was lying upon the side- walk In the n nler of u curtous and f 1 1 ( M 1 1 h i 1 1 v IhruiiK. He felt a cool liniid on his forehead. He groaned ami opened Ills eyes to sue Ibe girl hemline, out him. ' Now you must lie still," she said soothingly. "You were knocked down by an automobile, and an auibulauce is coming to take you to the hospital." Walter tiled to get up, and fainted li iv ay from pain When ho next he came toucious he vmls lying In u pri vate room In the lnilitl and - the gill sat at his side For days of semiconsciousness und through nights of delirium he always seemed to feel her presence beside hlni. Sometimes It was the nurse's face that swam di.zlly Into his ken, hut then again It would be the girl. At last the day arrived when con sciousness was fully restored. "Well, young man," said the cheery surgeon, "you may thank your Blurs for your narrow escape. It Isn't often a nun makes a recovery like yours when a broken rib has been sticking Into his lung. You may thank a good constitution und good nurses. Miss Gregory," he added to the nurse, "you may telephone to Miss Davis that her brother Is out of danger." "My slsier!" exclaimed Walter, con scious that his only sister, In San Kranclsco, had probably learned noth ing of his accident. "Why, my sister Is inlleB away" "Hut still wandering a little," the doctor added, looking strangely at Walter. It seemed hours before the young man opened his eyes to see the gra cious presence at his bedside again. She was bending over him, and he saw tears In her eyes. "You are Miss Davis?" he asked weakly. She nodded 'I don't know what you will think of me," she said. "Hut your stenographer called at the hos pital and said she thought you had no relatives in the world, and I couldn't bear I couldn't bear and I hail to make some excuse to see you." "Hut we know each other quite well," said Wulter, smiling and stretch ing out his hand. "And it was perfect ly natural that you should have been Interested In the welfare of one whom you had helped. Hesldes, I must tell you tell you" Hut he fell asleep from weakness, and It was not until the next day that he toid her about tiie dream. "You see." he explained, "It was you I was following when 1 was knocked down by the automobile. I saw you cross the street and I ran after you, and " Hut the girl's eyes were wide with fear. "Why," she gasped, "I I dreamed of you." That was the beginning ot the hap piest period In the young man's life. His convalescence was a continued wooing, and long before he was an nounced fit for discharge Miss Morgan- bad promised to become his wife. Women porters cany the luggage of tourists lu the island of Capri. The men are occupied as fishers, coachmen and coial sellers. A twy corner is a handy place :n which to sweep the din.

This is a commercial uge and civ ilization Is bcarluj Its most golden fruit in America. We are noted for our Industrial achievements as Kgypt was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa lem for her religion; Greece for her urt; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea for her ustrononiy and Home for her luvvs. Likewise we have men who will go down lu the world's history as pow erful products of their age. For, stand ing at the source of every gigantic movement that sways civilization is a great man. The greatest minds travel In the greatest direction and the com mercial geniuses of this age would have been the sculptors, poets, phil osophers, architects, and artists of earlier civilizations. As Michael Angelo took a rock and with a chisel hewed It Into the image of an angel that ever beckons man kind upward and onward, Hill took the desert of the Northwest and with bands of steel made it blossom like a rose, dotted tho valleys with happy homes and built cities In waste places. As Guttenberg took blocks of wood and whittled them Into an alphabet and made a printing press that flied education across the con tinent like a ray of light upon a bhw born world, McCormick took KNOW THY Il-Railroads In discussing the commercial achievements of this great age, we shall approach the subject as the historian cbronltllng events. This se ries will endeavor to record In writ ing the supremacy of American men and Industries in the world's affairs and perptuate an appreciation of our marvelous Industrial achievements by presenting simple facts, figures and comparisons that are overpowering in their convictions. America holds her proud place among the nations of the earth today on account of her supremacy tu trans portation facilities. The mighty minds of the age are engaged in the prob lems of transportation, and the great est men lu the history of the world's commerce are at the head of the .ra.isportation systems of the I'nlted States. lu the diiii ussluii of trausportatiuii, let us consider separately our Hall ways. Telegraph and Telephones, Kx press, Public Highways, SteamshlpB. Street Hallways, luterurban and other forms ot transportation, and this ar ticle w ill deal w ith railways. The I'nlted States has the largest mileage, the best service, the cheap est rates, pays labor the highest wages, and we have the most efficient ly managed of the railways of the world. They stand as a monument to the native geulus of our marvelous builders, and most of the railroads In foreign countries have been built under American orders. The railroads represent a larger In vestment of capital than any other branch of human activity. Tbe mile age in the Cnited States exceeds MOTHER'S DAY. It's Mother's Day ! Siep lively. Her motor's at the door, The lelephone is ringing there are duties by the score, There's the lecture ai eleven and the manicure ai ten, The club of Lonely Livers where she greets the suffrage men; A little' luncheon later, and ihere's something on ai three X'iih a socialistic bunch of Huffs who dream of being "free." The dancing man drops in at five to educate her feet. For mother's hesitating where ihe brook and river meet. Oh where's ihe mother of ihe song ho kissed our tears away, And wondered where her wandering boy was winding up the day ? Vhere's mother of the Wabash and the gleaming sycamore, With the candle in the window and ihe welcome ai ihe door. Who cut our father's Sunday shins and paged the the cows each morn, The one we told about ai school, who gave us grains of corn ? Where are ihe socks she used to darn, the jam she used 10 make ? Produce the famous biscuii thai our mother used to baka ! It's Mother's Dny ! She's off again, a-rooting over the sea, Coquetting with the dove of peace tor sex equality; Her arguments are in the stars, she sings the superhuman, And father now is rated as a sort of Also Ran. There's language psychological and awful in the air When he sees her beauty patches and the way she does her hair; Her heel is on the serpent's head, she's vetoed Eden's curse, It's Mother's Day ! Believe me, son, she owns the univere ! Kate Masiersonin N. Y. Sun. Some Forms ol Rheumatism I Curable Rheumatism is a disease characterized ! Ivy paius in the joints ami in the uius cles.

COUNTRY a bar of Iron and bent it Into a reaper and with one sweep of his magic mind broke the shackles that enslaved labor of generations J-et unborn, and gave mankind freedom . from drudgery, and lifted (ho human ruce Into a higher zone of life. As Nelson organized the English navy and made Knglund mistress of the sea, enabling the llrltlsh Isles to plant her Hag upon every continent washed by tho ocean's waves, and to make foot stools of the Islands of every water, Morgan organized a banking system that has made America master of the world's finances, brought Kings to our cashier's windows, the nations of the earth to our discount desks and placed under the Industries of this nation a financial system us solid as the Hock of Gibraltar. There Is no study quite so Interest ing as progress; no sound so magic as the roar of Industry and no Bight so inspiring as civilization In action.

Inallih, Fire t're-.-eiitii.ri Cxj,. rt. Every time you hear the cry of "Fire!" you can be almost absolutely safe in thinking that someone has been careless. Fires dun t happen. They are the Inevitable result of combinations of pieventnbU, tilings. I When analyzed to the last equation I it will be found that carelessness is ; tho root whence spring nearly all fires. 1 What a penalty Industry pays to j carelessness! Fire is the great do j slroyer. The wealth of a generation can be wiped out in but a brief hour. 1 Why not fight flits before they ! start? Why not so conduct your habits and so keep your premises that when the tire demon wants to offer your savings as a sacrifice he : will pass you by, just as those of Egypt of old were passed over when the sign they had been told to place over their doors, were een? Too ofteu win n those who are responsible from l.ie cry out they are the victims of bad luck, they are but paying the natural penalty for . their own carelessness. If you want to ki e;i down y our fire insurance rates, wage eternal war tare against thoao things that ever breed fires. L SGI! By P P. Claxton, U. 8. Commissioner of Luue&tion In most States school days tor country children are fewer than for City children. The average length of school term lu cities of the United States is one hundred and eighty five days; in rural communities one hundred and thirty-eight days, a dif ference of forty-seven days. In some ' States the difference Is much greater ! than this average. In many counties j the average length of tbe rural j school term is less than one hun j dred duys, and In some districts it is ! less. On the other hand, in the States of California, New York and j Connecticut, the country schools are iu session yne hundred and eighty i days iu a year, and lu several other States almost as long. The country j schools of Hhode Island are In ses sion one hundred and ninety duys In a year. If all children are to have an equal I opl'ortunl'y for education we must even up the school terms or tiie country and give to all country chil dren at least as many days as are now given to city children. One hundred and eighty-live days ot schooling a year for all children will not be too much There are coun tries In which the schools, both for j cit "ni 'ouutry. are in session from ' ,w0 hundred and twenty to two bun- dred and fifty days or more in the year. American children need as much education as those of any oth er country, and this applies to the rural as well as urban districts. AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL By T. N. Carver, Proo-nnr of Kranonili'., llulvuril I'nlvrntty. Every city has Its chamber of com merce or Its Hoard of Trade. The purpose of Buch an organization Is to study economic and business op portunities of tho city and promote enterprises which will help to build the city. Doob any one know of a good and sufficient reason why ev ery rural neighborhood ought not have a similar organization? In Germany they already have such organizations. They are generally called the "landwlnhschaflsrath" or agricultural council. Some students of the problem of rural organization are strongly of the opinion that such an agricultural council Is necessary before much can be done for the bet tering of rural credit or the market ing of farm produce There Is no object, for example. In having more capital In a fanning neighborhood unless the farmers know without any guess-work just how to use that capi tal so as to increase the production and the profit of their farms. If all the leading farmers of a neighbor hood would lay their heads together aud talk over the situation and etudy the opportunities for new Investment, they would be less likely to make mistakes than If they work secretly, as separate Individuals. CIVILIZATION'S GREATEST TRAGEDY. Extract from article by W. D, Lewis, president Texas Farmers' Union, op posing woman's suffrage: "We are willing to join In every ef fort to elevate woman but will assist Id Done to drag her down. The de scent of womanhood is the most awful tragedy in civilization As she sinks she may, like the setting sun, tint tbe horizon wtlh the rays of her depart ing glory. She may tenderly kiss the mountain tops of her achievement farewell; she may, like tbe sinking bud, allure tbe populace wltb ber beauty as she disappears for the aigM but when sfte steps downward, tbe earth Is as certain to tremble and plunge Into darkness as death Is to follow life."
