The long train drew into the "Din er Station" and hungry people be an to bestir themselves.

They lwd Been her get on the train, step Sing daintily in her beautiful white cfathes. Her mother and a maid had walkod behind her. Then the parlor r had hidden her, and they them selves had stepped up onto this common-ear, with mother and the big Basket behind. "Dinner's ready!" mother called Tram fcer seat. She had a white tow S spread on the seat beside her, and .grandmother's biscuit and cookies n little round tarts laid out on it. JSnewas smiling gayly. The three children crossed the aisle ad ssit down facing mother. They wre hungry and grandmother's Clings tasted good, but there was a IXle fitter flavor to them all, just grandmother had made a mis take and flavored them with extract envy instead of vanila. While they at and soberly munched, they were thinking of Loubelle Weir nnd her dinner with a capital D, and of the parlor-car. I wish we would travel 'risto exatic'ly!" burst out Bruce at length, anabJe to restrain himself, -i Wi3h we were in parlor-car. I don't like traveling in common cars." "I don't eilher." Frances agreed, little less tumultuous!-. "I'd rath er have a white dress on and sit in a Sorely cushioned chair with plenty of room." "I'd rawer, too o'd I rawer" cltmed In Willy Wisp, eager to join tfte majority. "I wanler travel in a cashion chair." "Then we'd be with the nicest kind T folks," Frances took it tip again -not with all kinds like this. It would be lovely to be with the nicest kind." "I know," Bruce cried, "we'd go on flyer then and just fly! Wouldn't we go on a fiycf, mother, If we were rich? We wouldn't go creeping along tJite way, would we? No, sir!" -flow would you like to travel at Oe rate of two miles an hour in a cupboard with' the pigs?" The children turned like one child. Tlie voice was deep and pleasant and on from directly behind. A kind old race, framed in white hair and beard, was nodding at them over the eat-back. "Well, how would you like that?" repeated the deep - voice. "Because I know of three children that trav eled that way. They were relatives mt mine. The people from the restaurant were drifting back Into the car, but the children did not see them. They o!y aaw the kind old man who said oca remarkable things. His rela tive In a cupboard with pigs! Jkd he was auch a nice-looking old ana did not look poor at all. It tot seem possible that his rela te "It jon are through with your din war and your mother li willing, come fate my seat and I will tell you how it happened," the deep voice wentJ mm pleasantly. As they went they had a glimpse through the window of Loubelle Weir rotting the station platform towards star parlor-car. The maid stepped daintily behind. . "it was quite little while ago boat a hundred and fifty yearsyhe old gentleman began, his eyes twink ling down at them. "My great-grandmother was about as old as you, I should say,." nodding at Frances, "and she had two brothers younger still. Her father and mother moved from one little town to another. There were no railroads, and they must go In carts drawn by gentle, plodding oxen all the family and all the furniture too. "And the children the story has come do"wn very straight did not go In the parlor 'cart.' There was a huge old cupboard with a door above and a door below, with a partition be tween the divisions. It Is in exist ence now. I have seen It many a time. Well, the children's father laid this great cupboard down on its back in the ox-cart and proceeded to pack the three children In one of Its compartments, and the pigs" the old gentleman paused dramatically "the pigs In the other! "And that iVas the way they trav eled all the way to the new home Jog-Jog, Jog-jog, jog-jog. They must have bumped about and the pigs must have squealed. How 'would you have liked that? Not a very luxurious way to travel, was it? But, do you know, I rather expect those three lit tie shavers thought It was great fun. Thought they were traveling in style, most likely! And the pigs It must have been a great day for the pigs!" France and Bruce and the Willy Wisp went back soberly to their own seals. They had forgotten Loubelle and the maid and the dinner with a capital D. Back nnd forth across their minds jogged a great ox-cart with a huge cupboard Inside, on Its back, and in ' one end were three children and In the other end were pigs. They could hold their breaths and almost hear the children laugh' and the pigs squal. It was an Inter esting story that the deep-voiced, kind-faced, twinkly-eyed old man had told. "What a comfortahle car this is!" Frances said, by and by. "How fast we go most fly!" said Bruce. "And there are such nice folks In the car." "And nobody in the other end Is squealing." The Interior. JEW1SH-GF.XTILE MARRIAGES. Increasing in English Speaking Conn, tries Danger to Zionist Movement. The growth of intermarriage be tween Jews and gentiles In recent years has moved the Jewish Chronicle of London to make a plea for "strengthening the historic religious conscience of our people." A well know Jewish lecturer in an interview Baid the intermarriage of Jews and gentiles had first assumed notable proportions in Germany part ly as a result of the increased social intercourse of the gentiles and Jews which followed the intellectual eman cipation of Jewry wrought by the pop ular philosopher Moses Mendelssohn and his contemporaries. Figures show that It has affected all English speaking countries, par ticularly New South Wales and other Australian colonies. The figures are most significant because they apply only to marriages not solemnized in a synagogue. There are thousands of unions which are intermarriages In fact though not technically so re garded, because one of the parties ac cepted the Jewish faith before the ceremony, and the marriages are therefore between persons of the Jew ish religion If not of Jewish blood. In such cases the children are sel dom lost to Judaism. But the con sequences too often Is that the par ents settle their differences by ignor ing rollglon altogether and do not bring up their children as adherents either to Judaism or to Christianity. These facts are of courso powerful arguments In the mouths of Zionists and to some ettent account for the rapid flocking of intellectual Jews to their banner. The Jewish people are beginning to believe, this authority says, that so long as they remain dispersed without territorial foothold the amenities of modern civilization are a greater danger to their exist ence than the confinement of the ghetto and the barbarities of the torch and the thumbscrews of the po grom. The Worm Turned. A muscular Irishman strolled Into the civil service examination room, where candidates for the police force are put to a physical test. '.'Strip," ordered the police sur geon. "What's that!" demanded the un initiated. "Get your clothes off, and be ralck about it," said the doctor. The Irishman disrobed, and per mitted the doctor to measure his chest and legs and to pound his back. "Hop over this bar," ordered the doctor. The man did his best, landing on his back. 'Vow double up with your knees and touch the floor with both hands." He sprawled, face downward, on the floor. He was indignant but si lent. "Jump under this cold shower," ordered the doctor. "Sure, that's tunny," muttered the applicant. "Now run around the room ten times to test your heart and wind," directed the doctor. The candidate rebelled. "I'll not I'll ithay single." 'Single?" asked the doctor, sur prised. "Sure," said the Irishman, "what's all this fussing got to do with a mar riage license!" He had strayed Into the wrong bu reau. New England Guide.

Usually the bears live almost ex clusively on roots, berries, Insects, and the like. In fact, there 1b always something grotesque and Incongru ous In comparing the bear's vast size, and his formidable claws and teeth, with the uses to which those claws and teeth are normally put. At the end ot the season the claws some times become bo much blunted as to be tender, because the bear has worked on hard ground digging roots and the like. Bears often graze on the fresh ten der spring grass. Berries form their especial delight, snd they eat them so greedily when in season as to be come Inordinately fat. Indeed, a bear In a berry-patch frequently grows so absorbed In his work as to lose his wariness, and as he makes a good deal of noise himself In break ing branches and gobbling down the fruit, he Is exposed to much danger from the hunter. Besides roots and berries, the bear will feed on any small living thing he encounters. If in plundering a squirrel's cache he comes upon some young squirrels, down they go In company with tho hoarded nuts. He Is continually knocking to pieces nnd overturning old dead logs for the Bake of devouring the insects liv ing beneath them. If, when such a log Is overturned, mice, shrews, or chipmunks are found underneath. the bear promptly scoops them Into his mouth while they are still dazed by the sudden Inrush of light. Sometimes, however, a boar will take to killing fre.ih meat for Itself. Indeed, I think It 1b only Its clumsi ness that prevents It from becoming an habitual flesh-eater. Deer are so agile that bears can rarely get them; yet on occasions not only deer, but moose, buffalo, and elk fall victims to them. Wild game, however, are so shy, so agile, and so alert that It Is only rarely they afford meals to old Ehpralm as the mountain hunters call the grizzly. Domestic animals are Blower, more timid, more clumsy, and with far dull er Benses. It Is on these that the bear by preference preys when he needs fresh meat. I have never, my self, known one to kill horses; but I have been Informed that the feat Is sometimes performed, usually In spring; and the ranchman who told nie Insisted that when a bear made his rush he went with such astound ing speed that the hors3 was usually overtaken before It got well under way. The favorite food of a bear, how ever, If he really wants fresh meat, Is a hog or sheep by preference the former. If a bear once gets Into the habit of visiting a sheepfold or pig pen, It requires no slight skill and watchfulness to keep him out. As for swine, they dread bears more than anything else. A drove of half-wild swine will made head against a wolf or panther; but the bear scatters them In a panic. This fear Is entirely Justifiable, for a bear ha3 a peculiar knack In knocking down a hog, and then literally eating him alive. In Bplte of his fearful squealing. From Good Hunting (a book recently pub-H lished, and consisting ot hunting pa pers written by Mr. Roosevelt before he was President.) Nairobi, the "Tin City." "Tin City," from its nickname, should be an American "boom town," situated In Nebraska or tho Klondike; but It Is not. It Is a creation of our British cousins, who seem to have found tinned things so good to live on that they are 'trying them to live In. Nairobi, which is Tin City's proper name, Is a new railway town in the British East African protecto rate, and consists of street after street of houses, each built entirely of sheets of galvanized Iron, put up in London and then knocked down and shipped to Africa. The new city Is a "fiat town," that i Is, it was made by governmental de cree. Sir George Whltehoiiso, c'alef engineer of the Uganda railroad, was responsible for it. He was out with his construction party in the field, ind camped one night on a great plain beside Nairobi Creek. The ground for a long way round was level. It was on a plateau, well-drained and healthful. About it were gracefully ascending hills, well-wooded and wa tered. ' "Here," said Sir George, "will be the headquarters of the railway. We will build the shops here and the houses of the workmen. This is the ideal location. The creek furnishes good water, the place is on the bor ders of the Masai and theKlkuyu.and offers a vantage-ground from which to govern them." His assistants demurred to the lo cation. It was a dreary waste to them, and they urged him to set up his tents In the hills; but to this he replied that the hills would do for the officers' villas and bungalows, but that the city would do better on the plain, and that there is should stand. There, In fact, it does stand, as odd a sight as Africa can show. The railway company shipped In the houses for Its employes, and they were set up in orthodox, right-angle fashion. -Two Christian churches, two mosques and a Hindu temple are among the buildings, and there were In the town last December nearly five thousand people. It is over three hundred miles from Mombasa, the chief seaport and capital ot the pro tectorate, and two hundred and fifty miles from Port Florence, the Lake Victoria terminus. - Already European farmers are set tling near the town to supply it with provisions, and it seems destined to bar a prosperous future. 8 Good Roads, g Ronds and Automobiles. The recent remarks of Mr. Herr man, the Commissioner of Parks, about the desirability of excluding automobiles from Central Park have a wider and more Important sugges tion than that concerning this city' great pleasure ground. Taken lit erally, his plan is, of course, Incap able of fulfilment. The automobile has unquestionably "come to tay," and it is now In so general use and I a vehicle of utility and pleasure to so large a part of the community that there can be no restriction ot Its employment within the limits pre scribed In comparable circumstance for other vehicles. In some cases It Is no doubt offensive, as when it Is driven carelessly or viciously, at a dangerous speed, without giving a due share of the road' to other vehi cles, or accompanied with an ear dis tressing racket, a cloud of smoke or a stench of gasolene. But then horses are also offensive when they--run away or got blind staggers or are driven by raucous voiced and hog mannered "sports." We must trust to the progress of civilization nnd the vigilant energies of the po lice to minimize Buch evils, whether In motoring, horse driving, bicycling or walking. The impairment of roads by auto mobiles Is, however, a pertinent and highly important consideration, not only In Central Park but all over the country, for there Is scarcely an "Im proved" road anywhere which Is much traveled that has not suffered from the extraordinary wear and tear of automobiles. The reason is perfectly plain. The roads were not built for such traffic. Telford and macadam roads were not designed for automobiles. They were designed for vehicles which would be light If swift and slow if heavy, and which in ei ther case would move upon wheels with smooth tires. They were and are admirably adapted to the use of a buggy weighing two hundred pounds, even at a 2.30 pace, or of a load ot hay at a foot pace, even It It weighs a couple of tons. But here are vehicles as heavy as the load ot hay moving as swiftly as the buggy. Worse than that, the automobile has. Instead of smooth tires, which would serve as rollers to smooth the road, wheels shod with chains or spikes designed expressly to cut Into and tear the surface of the road. Obviously the destruction of the roads by such vehicles Is a great evil which cannot be permanently toler ated. We should say, however, that It Is most properly to be abated not by excluding the vehicles from the roads, but by adapting either the ve hicles to the roads or the, roads to the vehicles. Perhaps, Indeed, both these courses should be pursued. In our city parks the vehicles might be required to adapt themselves to the roads. No automobile would ma terially hurt a well made park road if it were not driven too fast, even if It were shod with chains or spikes. All that Is needed, in brief, Is that automobiles in the parks shall be reasonably driven, as other vehicles are, to obviate their doing any more harm to the roads than other vehicles do. The great majority of automo- . biles are, we believe, thus managed. The damage to the roads Is chiefly done by a comparatively few care less or lawless drivers. The other Bolutlon of the prob lem, the adaptation of the roads to the vehicles, may well be applied else where. The work of road improve ment Is now being extensively per formed all over this State. It would lie a great mistake to do It now as it was done a score of years ago. The road which was good enough for the buggy and the load of hay will not do for a vehicle which carries on chain girt wheels the load of the lat ter at the speed of the former. These changed conditions of traffic should be realized and the plan ot construc tion of the new roads, at any rate on ail "main traveled roads," should be so modified as to meet these condi tions, and so as to be adapted to the new and far more formidable type of vehicle. That will no doubt be an expensive thing, but It will be far less expensive in the end than to have them ruined and need to be rebuilt every year. Editorial In the New York Tribune. Rural Automobiles. In the counties of northeastern Ohio and the level portions of Penn- sylvanla north of Pittsburg a move ment has been started for the estab lishment ot a rural automobile mall service. Fairly good roads and the absence of many steep hills make an automobile by far the quickest meth od of transportation. Several of the largest distributing centres have al ready Inaugurated the practice and a few machines have been bought. It is asserted that In addition to the greater rapidity of the service the first cost of the machines will be more than offset by the greatly re duced number ot carriers needed. New York Sun. Oiled Roads in Kansas. So successful did Kansas City's ex periments with crude oil prove last year that several Missouri counties will sprinkle the macadam roads this season. Roads which were treated with oil four times during 1908 did not need sprinkling with water the entire season, showing that the oil treatment Is an economical one.
