—WAS your Christmas spirit a
Christian spirit?
—A HUNDRED more joyous New
Years to you all !
—WHICH did you enjoy most, the
things you gave or those you re
ceived ?
RESOLVE each day not to Ureal;
those resolutions you made on New '
Year's Day.
—SOMEBODY in a boastful humor
points out that there are 40,000,000
little Japs and 80,000,000 big Am
ericans, and asks what in the world I
the little nation could do with the J
great one in case of a row. Better j
not get too cocky. Some such argu
ment was made just about the time
the Japs tackled the Russian bear.
—A LADY of kind intentions and
the laudable desire to benefit feminin
ity in general has bought several hun
dred acres of land in Southwest Texas
and proposes to establish an "Adam- j
less Eden" down there. She an
nounces that men will be tolerated, j
but only as pieces of furniture. Guess
they'll be sofas, since they are to be
"sat upon" with painful frequency.
—DON'T be discouraged if you |
don't feel the best in the world to-day.
A little over-eating of Christmas tur
key isn't going to do you any perman-1
out harm, and you wijl feel all the i
better when you get over it. Christ
mas only comes once a year, and
some of us don't get a chance to eat
too much turkey on any other day.
Simply forget ft and brace up for
another whirl at the activities and the
realities of life. There are thousands
of people all over the country who
feel worse than you do.
—Now we have the grand rush of
the great army of exchangers, for it
has come to be the practice to buy all
Christmas gifts with the right to ex
change them if they don't suit.
Wonder some genius doesn't set up a
sort of Christmas gift exchange house,
where those of us who get things we
don't want or can't use may swap
them tor things we can make useful
or ornamental. Think of the thous
ands and thousands of misfit gloves,
unsuitable neckties he would be able
to collect; and cigars! He would
liave to build warehouses.
—MAN'S troubles multiply and wo
rn u are more and more blamed there
for, justly or unjustly. As if it didn't i
keep a man busy enough brushing
stray hairs, bloude or brunette, off
his coat collar and dusting the powder ,
from the lapels, a recent case in court ,
revealed that the underlying cause ol
at least one man's woes was that his
wife recognized on his coat sleeve the
particular perfume used by "the
other woman." Now we have got to '
put perfume in the catalogue with
face powder and loose hair as deadly
evidences to be guarded against.
A. J. CASSATT.
In the death of Mr. A. J. Oassatt,
the country has not only lost prob- 1
ably its greatest railroad executive,
but one of its most forcible, far-seeing
business men. The recent marvellous *
development of the system of which
he was the head was due wholly to
his personal force and confidence in i
the future, and his ability to inspire
the financial forces of the world with ,
his confidence and enthusiasm. He |
saw the great growth of the country
and the tremendous demand of the
future, and above all others appreci- '
ated the fact that it was necessary to '
act promptly if the conditions of the
near future were to be satisfactorily
met. It required couruge as well as •
brains to run counter to old-time con- 1
servative ideas of administration, and
to spend hundreds of millions in in- '
creasing the efficiency of the greatest
railroad system of the country, but s
Mr. Cassatt was generally accepted as ]
the man for the time and place.
In making an estimate of the man, ■
the Philadelphia Ledger says Mr. j
Cassatt's rare ability as a practical
railroad operator has never been
questioned. It was upon this practi- '
eal knowledge and his prevision of
the vast growth of railroad business '
that he formulated those great under- '
takings that have recently absorbed
so much of the corporation's practical I
and financial energies, and that i
troubled many conservative minds l
whose grasp was'not as broad as his.
While his death can have little or no ,
effect upon the operation of the sys
tem, it leaves uncompleted so much
that was peculiarly his own concep
tion that the test of supreme capacity ,
now falls upon his associates and suc
cessors to carry these undertakings to
fruition. They can have but little '
more to undertake. If Cassatt leaves
a part of his work incomplete, he
leaves nothing unplanned or unpro
vided for. The additional freight
lines, the New York terminal, the
Long Island extension, even large I
provisions for new rolling stock—
everything is mapped out and practi- i
cally financed to bring the Pennsyl- i
vania Railroad to that state of com- i
pleteness and perfection which Cassatt, .
in his wise foresight, conceived. I
Though his direction will be missed,
the work will goon, and future years i
will recognize it as his achievement. I
He was not only a great railroad man; I l
he was a great Pennsylvania!], a
great American, and not his own city
only, but the whole country, has been
enriched by the vast work that he
crowded into his incessantly busy
life.
More picturesque things may have
been done by early railroad builders
in penetrating the Western deserts,
says the New York World, but in the
last years of his life Mr. Cassatt initi
a'ed works of a magnitude that call
ed for no less imagination and cour
age, merely as an incident to the ad
ministration of one ot the oldest es
tablished railroad systems.

Ot■ • ' O
While They
Waited
By Virginia UiU Weota
Copyright. 1906, by C. H. Sutollffe
He Jumped out of the little country
rig, leaving It In the hands of a freckle
faced boy, and rushed up to the ticket
office Just as his train was pulling oat
from the station.
"Pshaw I" he exclaimed irascibly, and
then to the sleepy looking, contented
ticket agent, "When does the next
train leave for New York?"
"Two hours," replied that tauflvWual
laconically.
Maverick Oliver wasn't a man to cry
over spilled milk. He sat himself
philosophically down In a shady recess
of the waiting room and extracted a
, notebook. He wouM 'ook over some
memoranda he had Jotted down for his
solicited article for the Review and
then take a stroll along the country
hedges. There seemed to be a rather
attractive bit of woodland Just beyond.
"How loug must I wait for connec
tions for Rosecilff?"
Something In the woman's voice, half
contralto, half alto, made the man with
the notebook suddenly start. He'd
been so engrossedly conning his mem
oranda that he had scarcely noticed
the incoming train, with all Its attend
ant bustle. Now, however, a single
woman's voice made him start and
caused the Review article to be as fsr
from his thoughts as the military af
fairs of nations B. O.
The woman's back was turned to
ward Oliver, but he knew it was Elea
nor. Who else in all the world had
that queenly carriage, that soft slope
of shoulder, that bewitching mass of
colled chestnut hair?
"For Rosecilff?" came tfce ticket
agent's monotonous volee as he caress
ed his wrinkled forehead with the
hack of his hand. "A half hoar,
ma'am. Train's sixteen minutes late."
The woman turned impatiently away
from the window.
It was then they came face to face.
"Yenl" cried Oliver, springing up.
She stood there In the barren waiting
room, filling Its emptiness with the
richness of her charm. To the man's
hungry eyes she was food of the most
satisfying as well as of the most deli
cate Bort.
She did not hold out her hand. Never
theless she encountered him not in her
old imperious fashion, but with a smile
Including him In some mood too large
to be wholly personal.
"llow you have changed, Eieanorl"
be cried involuntarily.
"Are you, too, waiting for a train?"
sho answered softly In return. "In
which direction do you go?"
"South—to New York," said Oliver.
"And you?"
"To Roseeliffe, fourteen miles east"
Oliver took her umbrella and tiny
suit case from her, and then they
walked slowly up and down the plat
form together, man and woman. In
stead of husband and wife, held apart
by some strange flat they had both ac
cepted.
In the fields, all around, the butter
cups were golden aud the wild carrot
was in white, lacelike flower. Over
in the woods beyond some song birds,
waking from their summer siesta, were
beginning to warble. A group of trav
eling men was lounging on the railing
at the far end of the platform, ex
pectorating copiously to punctuate the
points In their stories.
Oliver duntod tho otcpo at
the other end of the walk with his
handkerchief, and the woman sat se
renely down, her delicate profile out
lined against the clear blue of the sky
like some exquisite cameo. She had
always been beautiful, though. It
wasn't that which made the man ex
claim again lrrepresslbly:
"You've changed so, Eleanor!" It was
true. It was no mere fancy of his
Imaginative writer's eye that discov
ered new meanings In the face before
him. It had undergone a vague but
very gracious transformation.
"Changed?" repeated she, with a
curious tenderness. "I've tried to
change—tried, do you understand?
Since last winter, when we agreed to
separate, I've been trying—so hard,
Maverick—to take control of my own
Rtunted nature, turn It where It
twists"—
"Dear," broke In Oliver. with a bit
ter nuinuu/, we tvt-ic U\J iu iv
both, do you hear? And I'm afraid
you've been cleverer than I If you've
unsnarled things where they failed to
fit the pattern. I've not changed much,
I'm afraid."
Under her black lashes the woman
smiled at him with a reverence he
might have translated (had he been
high plumed) as some loyal acquies
cence In his former state. What Oli
ver felt now, however, was curiosity In
his young wife, not In himself. So—
"Tell me," he burst forth, "what has
changed you so.?"
She rolled up her absurd little hand
kerchief Into a string and, throwing It
over her knee, pulled It unconsciously
by both ends, gazing steadfastly Into
the blue distance above Oliver's head.
"I don't know whether I ought to
tell you," she began.
Oliver recalled that delicious little|
habit she used to have of tempting thei
fates shyly, of hesitating when she
meant to be right down outrageous.
"Of course you ought," he urged.!
"You always do In the end, you know, j
and It will save time." Under her
playfulness he had allowed himself to,
grow light hearted. ;
"Well, then"— she began, but her
voice trailed off vaguely. Her cheeks
took on a pinker bloom; she forgot then
handkerchief and flulslied her thovght
with a mature dignity that became ha
like the armor of her sex.
"Our little boy. Maverick—our little
boy has changed me."
"Ah! Our boy"— Oliver broke off
abruptly, for something had suddenly
clutched him by the throat.
The woman hastily brushed her tears
away aud went on practically:
"You'd be proud of him, Maverick—
such Rtroug, agile limbs—and he haa
the will of a little savage."
"Let me see," Oliver said brusquely,
stooping over the platform's edge and
plucking a buttercup stalk that had
ambitiously grown up from the gravel.
"He must be eleven months now."
"Yes. He was five when—when you
last saw him." She kept her eyes de
liberately fixed upon the high railroad
trestles In the blue distance. "Do you
know, he's been such a help to me.
I've told him all the things I wanted
to tell you—told 1 m that his mother
had been a vain, silly, girlish tyrant
who, coming straight from the convent,
wanted to have everything this world
had to give—money, fame, position
al! those things that are bought In the
market place—and had wanted to buy
them with his father's conscience."
Over the trestles the smoke of the
j Incoming train was seen. There were
th» usual bustle and running to and
fro on the platform, seizins of band
bags, carting of trunks, and io on.
Whatever swift mutual, soul revela
tions Oliver and bis wife had been on
tbe point of making dissolved into
nothingness, Jarred by the proaalc com
motion of traffic. It was a pity, too,
for with Eleanor's last words her face
had melted Into a pliant sweetness,
her exquisite mouth had taken on sud
den qulverln? little curves. Bhe had
■corned about to say, "Ambition, self
ishness, the cruelty of pride—all these
things have gone. Maverick."
She didn't say that, however. In
stead she rose from tbe wooden step
which ber husband bad dusted 'or her.
"I'm glad you found me cbang •" she
•aid merely. Something hi th man's
honest soul overflooded.
"I, too—l, too, Eleanor, will change I"
cried he.
"Ah, you've no need to," answered
she, meeting honesty w * honesty.
"Yon've been growing like the trees
yonder"—she nodded In the direction
of the woodland—"for years, straight
and strong. I had to be pruned. I
had"—
The train's screeching whistle dead
ened her words. It came rushing In
and stopped. Oliver still held Eleanor's
tiny suit case and umbrella In his
hand. There was a infused sound of
greeting to the passengers who had
alighted and the clamor of hotel run
ners and bus drivers.
"Now, then, step lively!" cried the
brakeman as the last much bundled
old woman descended, allowing the
Impatient traveling men to cllnb
aboard. Oliver and his wife were tbe
last of the crowd.
He helped ber aboard, fomnd her
chair for her In tho parlor car, then
turned miserably to meet her eye*.
"All aboard!" came the strident
voice of the conductor. The train be
gan to move almost imperceptibly.
"Ooodby!" cried Oliver, battling with
strong emotion, but conscious of the
Increasing movement of the trala.
Then as be bent over her seat
woman laid a trembling hand on his
arm, and her eyes were brimming with
slow tears.
"Ooodby, Maverick? Dont yon want
to go with me to our baby?"
"Good heavens! Eleanor, do I want
to?"
Some lonely passengers at the ether
end of the car wondered what had sud
denly Illumined the man's handsome
face with that electric thrill of Joy.
Then the telegraph poles began to
whiz by. Oliver had forgotten New
York.
Hantvay's
'Punishment
By JOHN J. O'CONNOR.
Copyright, 1906, by May McKeon
It was October when Tim came to
school. Tbe family bad been visiting
relatives In the west, and be bad re
joiced In tbe prolonged vacation. It
seemed rather hard to have togo back
to school, and It was with laggard feet
that he headed, with tbe rest of the
scholars, toward the little frame build
ing where the tender mind of district
No. 4 was trained.
"The new teacher's soft," volunteer
ed Tommy English. "The other day
BUI Hendricks brought a lwan blower
and shot the teacher In the back, and
all she said was, 'Please don't' I
guess there's going to be fun."
Tim smiled weakly. It was encour
aging lu know lliul lio cvulil ytacuco
his devilments without the risk of a
thrashing. Tbe last teacher had been
a Lian, and Tim hud bad good reasoa
to remember blm, for of the younger
boys Tim was the ringleader, Just aa
Hendricks was the leader of the older
boys. That BUI bad eventually thrash
ed the teacher and forced blm to ro
slgn Just before tbe end of the spring
term was no great consolation to Tim.
The trustees had put In a woman
teacher as an experiment, thinking that
perhaps feminine appeal might 1>«
more potent than tbe hickory switch.
Tim rather expected a gaunt old lady,
as a certain Miss Flint bad been, and
when he made bis appearance In the
schoolroom and presented himself be
fore the teacher he was shocked to
find so young a woman.
Marlon Murtha was only nineteen,
and her fresh coloring and the liquid
brown eyes made so deep an Impres
sion on him that for tbe first ten daya
he was one of the model scholars, and
Miss Murtha was beginning to congrat-

ulate herself that the boy against
whom everybody bad warned her was
not so bad after all.
In vain bis fellows looked for some
outbreak, and finally Tommy English
' twitted him on his susceptibility.
"He wants to marry ber when he
grows up," he Jeered. "He'll be bring
ing her apples an' candy next. Tbe
ain't afraid; he's Just soft, that's all."
The gibe struck home, for Tim had
a big apple In his desk that he was
thinking of giving Miss Murtha If be
did not feci tempted to eat It himself
during tbe noon hour.
"I ain't a-skeered of her," be sain
contemptuously. "I was Just waltln'
till I could think somethin' up."
"Yah," Jeered Tommy. "I didn't say
you was a-skeered. I said you waa
stuck on the teacher."
The Iron entered Tim's soul, and,
with a dark "You wait and see," he
raced off to the well.
He came stamping In when the bell
rang and went to bis desk with a swag
ger that was quite like bis old time
bearing. The desk next blm was emp
ty, and with Infinite earo be twlste4
two bits of slate_ pencil Into a rubber
band and dropped them Info tbe other
Seek. The unwinding band rattled the
pencils around In the empty box with
a crash that stopped the Fourth Reader
class and directed the eyes of tbe
whole school on htm. Tim tried to look
■aconcerned, but be could not refrain
from casting a glance of triumph at
Tommy English, and therein lay his
undoing, for the teacher's eyea were
«ulck and her Intuition keen.
"Tim," ahe said sharply. "You will
stay In after school tonight."
"I ain't done notbln'," he declared
•toutly.
"I did not say that you had," ahe said
quietly. "I said that I wished you to
remain after school this evening."
"Aw," cried Tim, "that ain't fair!"
She said nothing, but went on qnletly
with the claaa work. Tim had expected
her to anawer, that he might talk back
again. He could not understand this
quiet Ignoring of tbe matter and sat
silent and uncertain.
During the noon hour Tommy Eng
llab sought to persuade him Into defy
ing the teacher, but when 4 o'clock
eame and he made as thongb togo out
with tbe others a firm hand waa laid
upon his shoulder, and Miss Murtha'e
quiet voice reminded blm that be was
to stay In.
To stay after school meant to spend
• certain time In study. Tim scuffled
back to bis desk and sat there swing
lng his feet Idly. He was determined
that he would not study and wondered
vaguely If the teacher would try ta
thrash blm for hla disobedience.
Presently the others were gone, and
Miss Murtha went back to her desk.
Another scholar had been kept lu to re
write the spelling lesson, and Mls«
Murtha waited quietly until the task
was dene. At laat they two were alone,
and she called to blm. Not once had
she noticed him before, and Tim went
forward wonderlngly.
"Ibey told me that you were a bad
(lAV " aha uulj "Imf T /1W *i nJr +kla»lr
that you would act so toward a wom
an."
"Whafa the difference!" be demand
ed. "You get paid to teach ua, don't
you, Just like a man?"
Gently she explained that she bad
been hired to teach the school, but that
she could not remain If she could not
handle the pupils. If be and some of
the other boys persisted In being dis
obedient she would hare to give up
the school and they would have de
prived her of a chance to earn a living.
When she had flnlahed, Tim looked up.
"Say," ho said penitently, "I'll let
you lick me If you want to. I won't
flcht back."
"I don't want to whip you," she said
as she stooped and kissed him. "I want
you to be a good boy; that's all."
Tommy English was waiting for blm
aa (he subdued Tim went out. "Did
she lick you?" he demanded eagerly.
"I didn't hear you boiler."
With a howl Tim sprang at him and
tlirashcd him as a relief for his over
wrought feelings.
"An' I'll do It again If you say any
thing about Miss Murtha," he promised
as he released hla victim, "an' I'll lick
any of you fellers what makes trouble
for her."
It took but a week to make that fact
apparent, and those who had taken ad
vantage of the fact that Miss Murtha
did not believe In physical punishment
learned to behave.
Then came Jlen Hanway upon tbe
scene, and It soon became apparent
that Marlon had fallen In love. The
proposition waa almost too much for
Tim to grasp, but In a vague way be
realized that tbe teacher cared a great
deal for Ren, He was not Jealous,
though he resented the lost walks home
with Miss Murtha, because now Ren
~*illi*l fnr her with Hla hunry. an<l Ttm
was left behind.
But the course of true love never did
run smooth, and one afternoon Tim
came back to the schoolroom to find
Miss Murtha, with her head bowed on
her arms, her slight form shaken by
sobs. Softly he stolo out of tbe rom
and made for the village.
Ken would probably be In the office
of the lumber yard, and thither he bent
his steps. Hanway was working at
his desk when tbe door burst open and
Tim was upon blm like a young cata
mount, pummel! ng and kicking Indis
criminately. The attack was so sud
den that It was several minutes before
nanway could grasp the youngster.
Tears of rage stood In Tim's eyea as
he struggled to get free.
"You let me alone!" he shouted. "I've
got to lick you. I said I was goln' to
lick any feller tbat made Miss Murtha
cry, an' I licked 'em all except Billy
Hendricks, an' I threw stones at him."
"I didn't make her cry," laughed
Hanwny, though his face went very
white. "What makea you think so?"
"You used to drive her home," cried
Tim, "an' now you don't come any
more, nn' I went Into the schoolroom
this nfternoon, an' she was cryln', with
ber bend on tbe desk, an' I knew It
was your fault, an' I want to lick you."
Hanwa.v's face glowed with pleasure.
There had been a small quarrel, but so
successfully had she hidden her feel
ings that he did not think she cared.
"I'll hitch up and go right over to
tell her I'm sorry," he said. "Will that
do?"
"If she says yes," agreed Tim. Han
way went out.
That evening Tim was at the Presby
terian social when Miss Murtha and
Hanway came In. Mlaa Murtha bent
over and kissed blm.
"My little champion," she whispered.
"You have made me so happy."
"Then I won't lick Ren again," prom
ised tbe pleased Tim. "I thought you'd
waut me to."
