THREE WAYS TO DO IT.
By KATE GANNETT WELLS.
Howard Armstrong, sentimentally
Inclined from bis youth, was suddenly
free, owing to the death of his moth
er, to Invest In a home of his own.
Thus it chanced that one summer day
when apparently he was examining
the hotel register at Plnehurst he was
in reality scanning a young girl who
waited for her mail.
"Best record made this season," ob
served the clerk impersonally, but
pointing to the name of Miss Stuyve
sant on the open page.
Therefore Armstrong decided to
Join the golf club, and though piqued
by Miss Stuyvesant's unconcern of
him as a new member, he yet fell in
love with her as she strode over the
links. He entered the tournament,
and was drawn to play with her. In
timacy begun on a golf baHls forth
with proceeded Into the more subtle
ways of moonlight seances. He even
lent her a book. She analyzed Its
contents without referring to its mar
ginal notes In his handwriting. So
he put It In the fire. "Do you know
what I did with it?" he asked her.
"Keep It for the next girl; golf Is
lots better than books," she answered,
warding off the Implied tenderness in
his tone.
Then, of course, Armstrong decided
to ofTer himself In golf terms, and
having arranged his formula, took
her to drive. "There are other than
golf prizes to be won by you," he be
gan. "What are they? Ml go In for
them."
"Myself." As he tittered the word
Its absurdity occurred to him, and let
ting his horse go at full speed he
ejaculated, "I didn't mean that, you
were the prize I wanted to win." The
horse tore down the steep hill.
"Hold him In, can't you, you boy!"
exclaimed Miss Stuyvesant. Seizing
the reins she drew in the animal.
As It walked slowly up another hill
iArmstrong recovered. "I beg your
pardon, but mother never let me ask
anybody, and I didn't know how;
can't you try to like me?" he urged,
meaning to catch hold of her hands
Instead of the reins. The horse
started afresh.
"Hold him In," she ordered.
"Yes, if you will like me; If you
don't, 1 shall kill myself."
For a moment It seemed to Miss
Stuyvesant very terrible to be re
sponsible for another's life or death,
et, as her sense of Justice made her
Indignantly decline to accept either,
the steed plunged forward and would
not be held In before reaching the
notel.
Consequently Armstrong left it, on
tne pretense of letters calling him to
Atlantic City. There he recovered
from, his wounded vanity through the
wiies of a maiden who, Judging hlra
to be a dude DessimiBt. considered
n'm fair game either for bcr mischief
c her sympathy.
"Will you not Join in our Sunday
singing?" she entreated demurely.
Whereupon Armstrong quickly
found that from the piano to the
piazia was but a short distance to a
blighted being and an enterprising
maiden, and that life appeared cheer
ier arter two weeks of golf talk. "Do
you believe that love snrlnn nn in
the heart at the sound of a voice?"
e Inquired of Miss Bruce one day
when they were sitting together at
me piano.
"Try A," she replied, striking the
note on the keyboard.
"I first fell in love with your voice
end then with yourself,' be contin
ued languidly.
"A man's Just saying he' loves a
Sin la not very definite nowadays." .
"Then In plain English, will you
marry me?"
She ran her flnorara llvhtlv over the
,keys, which he tried in vain to pre
vent. "You do ma too much honor:
I'm greatly surprised; but I can't for
two reasons. First, because you are
yourself; second, because I was en
gaged to-day after breakfast; It is to
announced at lunch; won't you
congratulate me?"
"After you have destroyed my faith
n womankind?"
"Say sex, Mr. Armstrong; it la
commoner toini," and bowing, she
eft the room by one door and he by
kaotber with mock dignity that gave
way the luwardres of the scene to
toe waitresses who bad beee peeking
la at the window.
' Again did Armstrong resert to the
Tvwn of letters reoelevd as excuse for
U iinmtdiate devrtur ta Loo isl
and. "I never had ai) offer; I won
der how I should behave It such an
event happened to me," he overheard
one girl saying to another the morn
ing after his arrival. Instantly Arm
strong resolved she should hnve the
opportunity of knowing. Assiduous
ly he cultivated her acquaintance
until she was goaded Into asking him
what he had ever done.
"Nothing much; only taking care
of mother. What I shall do depends
on you."
"Do you mean you want to marry
me?"
Delighted at her freshness he broke
forth Into ardent words.
"Oh don't, Mr. Armstrong," she
Interrupted; "really I couldn't. You
see. this Is my first offer, so you
won't be vexed at my question, and I
don't know how men do it. I'm sorry
If you care, but I'm going to college
and to have a career, for, when the
four years are over, there will be
three In the medical school and I
couldn't study well If I were In
love."
"Then you do care for me?"
"No, really I don't care a hit. You
are very nice, but not the kind of
man a college graduate wants. You
don't mind, do you?"
"Yes, I do; but mother always told
me never to marry a college girl;
frivolous girls, she said, made better
wives."
"Good morning, Mr. Armstrong."
"Good morning, Miss Raymond."
Six months later Armstrong's
fiancee showed him a brooch she had
received from .three of her college
friends. It was a golf stick resting
on a bar of music with the college de
vice below.
"Confound such bad taste," mut
tered Armstrong, angrily, remember
ing that the three girls to whom he
had offered himself were at Payche
College. Could they have told each'
other of his futile endeavors? Bos

EARNING A IUO SALARY.
Story Told About General Manager
Frank Hedlcy, of the Interborough.
"How does a high salaried man
earn his pay?" asks a writer in Sys
tem, and proceeds to answer his own
question with the following incident:
"Some time ago Frank Hedley, the
general manager of the Interborough,
was waiting on a1 subway station
platform. A train drew In with the
power on, reached the stop signal and
came to a sudden halt, jolting the
passengers and straining the machin
ery. The incident gave him an idea.
"He went to a manufacturer ot
time clocks and gave an order for an
experimental timepiece that would re
cord elapsed time during which elec
tric power was being used by the In
terborough trains. The manufactur
er in due time produced a small de
vice that could be attached to the
mechanism in the motorman's box In
such A way that ttu power could be
turned on only after the time clock
had been unlocked by the motorman's
special key and the clock set in oper
ation. "When the power was shut off the
clock would record the exact moment.
By this means the exact number of
hours, minutes and seconds, during
which that motorman consumed elecJ
trie current was automatically re
corded and a special device printed
the total elapsed time during the
day's run.
"The device was attached to the
motormen's control boxes In all the
trains on one line and experimented
with for a month. Instructions were
Issued to the motormeh to coast into
the stations by turning off the power
as far distant from the stopping place
as possible and come to a -gradual halt
after running some rods by the force
of momentum. Rewards were offered
to the men whose records showed the
most economical useot electric power.
"At the end of the month the engi
neer of the line reported a reduction
of over fifteen per cent, in the power
consumed. The Individual records of
the men showed a reduction ranging
from ten per cent, to forty per cent,
over the amount of power used pre
viously. Time clocks have been or
dered for the other Interborough
lines.
"It may be assumed that the same
saving In power will be effected. The
Interborough's annual coal bill for
producing electric current Is $2,800,
000. A saving of fifteen per cent,
means a saving of $294,000 a year on
this Item alone to say nothing of the
saving on wear and tear of machinery.
The sum Is considerably larger than
Frank Hedley's salary."
Antiquity of Shorthand.

Farmer's Cows,
On the average farm where It Is
not the Intention to do extensive
dairy work, we find many cows that
are cross-bred animals. They have
Been bred with the Idea of producing
a dual purpose; or farmer's cows, as
they are sometimes called. These
cows are usually a ci-oes between
lonie beef breed and a breed of dairy
qualities, and as n result we have
neither, but a mongrel whose good
qualities are hard to discover. We
have a cow that not only does not pro
duce enough milk and butter to pay
for the care and feed she receives,
but produces a calf that does not de
velop sufllclenlly to pay for the inilk
and the feed it receives. There have
been cows that produced a fair
amount of milk and butter, whose
calves were better than the average
dairy calf, but it must be understood
that these are exceptions and are hard
to find. There are other points, too,
that are against these cows doing
their best. The feed and care many
receive quite frequently consists only
of pasture In summer and corn, hay,
straw and cornstalks In winter. The
milking is done out of doors most of
the year and the cows are only stabled
during the severest weather. Farm

with a hollow handle. To make tho
combination all that is necessary is to
thrust the handle of the comb into
the handle of the brush and one im
plement is formed. Instead, then, of
raking a horse with the currycomb
and going over htm again with the
brush, the whole operation can be
performed with one stroke by pausing
the brush portion of the new imple
ment over the path left by the preced
ing stroke of the comb when the next
sweep of the comb is made. In this
way two horses can be cleaned In the
time it used to take to groom one.
Indian Runner Ducks.
A more profitable kind of poultry
than the Indian Runner Ducks would
be hard to find. They were supposed
to have been imported from India to
England, where they aro great favor
ites with the poultry raisers; they
were first bred In tho United States
about fifteen years ago, and have be
come such a favorite with .the poultry
raisers that for the past few years
eggs and stock are In such demand
that the bredcrs can't fill the demands
made on them fnr stock nnrl neira
They are not large, weighing from j
.four to five pounds. But such a sight,
to see a flock ot well fed Indian Run
ners, their fawn and white markings,
erect carriage, make them admired by
All. But best ot all their egg pro

in the year. By culling and keeping
best layers we have now a strain that

Poultry Notes.
There Is much less worry attached
to dack raising than to other branches
of poultry keeping. E. C, in the In
diana Farmer.
A pen of eighteen, fifteen duck and,
three drakes, will furnish an abun
dance ot eggs. They will almost aU
give a strong duckling when welj
cared for and properly mated.
Another experiment showed that
the average duckling required twenty
five cents' worth of feed to prepare
him for market. Those in question
we're sold for fifty cents each; so o
course there was good profit in them.
The Pekln seems to be the favorite
mnrlret duck, and holds its own wall,
but the Indian Runner is the breed to
get where eggs are the main item.
They will make rapid gains, too, when
well fed, for a duck Is like a pig In
this respect; give them good feed and
they will soon show you good results.
The profit Is quick, so one Is able
to use the money for feeding later
hatches ot ducks or for chicks. The
earliest ducks bring the best prices,
but there Is a fair profit In the later
ones, where one will furnish the feed.
Unless you are situated where you
can procure reasonably good eggs
whenever you wish them, It Is much
bettor to have a pen of breeders.
Of late years the domand for ducks
has Increased greatly. That this In
crease will continue Is a fact not to
be doubted, so it will be a wise In
vestment to procure several sitting
of duck eggs, selecting the best ot
the ducks tor next season's breeding
pen, and procuring good drakes In
January to mate. This, of course, 11
conditions allow of your raising
ducks.
Where one is growing exclusively
for market, It seems there Is more
profit in ducks than chicks; some ex
periments where both chicks and
ducklings were taken at the same ag
aud fed the same ration, show thai
tho ducklings cost 1.9 cents a pound
This la for a pound gain; the chick
show a pound gain, cost 44 cents;
the duckling were also ready foi
market, while the chicks were yet too
small. It Is almost unbelievable th
rapid gain that hearty ducklings will
make when fed right.

The Kently Dressed Woman.
There Is an exquisite tliai ni about
a neatly dressed woman.' She does
not wear ber hair loose, as if it Is just
about to fall on her shoulders. Her
gloves are not ripped at the seams,
nor any buttons missing from her
boots. Her veil does not reveal a
bole over the chin, nor does the bind
ing of ber skirt show ragged in places.
Not many women show their tidi
ness In these details, but the well
groomed woman considers that neg
lect In these little things is full of
shame to womankind. Note the well
dressed tailor built woman. Her
cloth gown fits her without a crease,
and there is neither speck nor spot on
it. Her linen collar and cuffs are
snowy white, and remain properly
fixed In their places. Her gloves do
not wrinkle, but button smoothly over
her wrists. Her shoes are dainty and
polished. Her bonnet or hat Is pinned
on straight, aud her hair is neatness

finish and wholesome order. Would
that we could come across her some
what oftener. Woman's Life.

to never interfere In family or busi
ness privacy, don't presume on liking
or affection to impose on your friend's
time or arrangements. Always give
and take, your peculiarities are prob
ably as disagreeable to your friend as
bis or bers are to you. Endure them,
and so avoid bickerings.
Never be led by gossip about what
your friend has said about you. It It
hurts your feelings, bave it out fairly
aud squarely. Above all, keep confi
dence Inviolate, nothing broetaj doubt
to quickly as a person' inability te
keep a secret to himself; it Is always
