Jtomorous Department. Prompt Action. Martin S. Decker of New Platz. is one of the pubHc utilities commissioners of New York, a body of men with sweeping Jurisdiction over the street and steam railways and the gas and electric companies of the state. Mr. Decker, discussing the duties of his new post the other day, said: "Ours is a work that must be done with the utmost prudence and care. Nothing must be undertaken by us hastily, or else we shall find ourselves In the position of the new school superintendent. "There was, you know, a new superintendent appointed to a certain school ?a zealous man, but a cnoieric ana hasty one as well. "Now It happened that on the day of his arrival at the school, while he was working: hard In his office, a maddening: noise arose In the room next to him. "The superintendent stood this noise as long as he could. Then he looked over the "glass partition Into the uproarious room and saw among the noisy lads assembled there a tallish chap who seemed to be making more of a row than all the rest combined. "Beside himself with rage, the superintendent reached out his arm. seized the tall boy by the collar, dragged him over the partition and banged him down into a chair beside his desk. " 'Now, he said, 'sit there, and don't open your lips till I give you the word.' "Then he bent over his papers, and In the ensuing quietude worked away busily. "Some fifteen minutes passed. Then the head of a small boy peered timidly over the partition, and a meek little voice said: "'Please, sir, you've got our teacher ' "?Washington Star. ? He'd Done Enough. In a western Kentucky town Ben Watson had saved the life of Myra Underbill. Miss Underbill had been overturned In a creek with a swift current, and the act of young Watson was a very heroic one. He had saved the life * *L - ?*?1 - 0K0 u-Q? ulnL-lny for oi me gin unci one ii?.i ? ? the third time, and had barely strength to pull himself and the young woman to shallow water. The news soon spread, and Ben Watson was hailed as the real, live, hero of the village. Aunt Tabby Wilson, the oldest woman in the village, the mother of the little colony, was loud in praise of the heroism of the young man, and at once declared that Ben and Myra must get married. "Ben saved Myry's life," she said, "and now they must marry and be happy ever afterward, just as they do In the story books." But Ben demurred; the arrangement did not suit him. "Why not marry Myry, Ben?" said the old lady. "She Is yours, and we must have a wedding." "She Is a nice girl, all right," replied Ben, "but I don't think we ought to marry. Seems to me," he went on, "I have done enough for Myry."?Harper's Weekly. Profit In His Risk.?Jim Johnstone, the famous baseball umpire, said recently in New York that baseball crowds were far kinder to umpires than they used to be. "This is true of theatre crowds, too," said Mr, Johnstone. "Why, with pro vincial touring companies in mc maltreatment was regularly expected. In fact, the companies profited by it in more ways than one. "I know of a company that was playing "The Broken Yaw,' in Paint Rock, a one-night stand. The audience didn't like 'The Broken Vow,' and eggs, cabbages and potatoes rained upon the stage. "StIU the play went on. The hero raved through his endless speeches, dodging an onion or a baseball every other mJLnute, and pretty sore from those missiles he hadn't been able to dodge. "But finally a gallery auditor. In a paroxysm of rage and scorn, hurled a heavy boot, and the actor, thoroughly alnrmedi started to retreat. " 'Keep on playing, you fool,' hissed the manager from the wings as he hooked in the boot with an umbrella. 'Keep on till we get the other one.'"? Washington Star. The American Tourist.?It has for years been brought home to us?by comment more or less complimentary? that we Americans, travelling abroad, are closely scrutinized by the Europeans. But perhaps we have not realized that the observing eyes of the younger?in fact, of the youngest?geneiation are turned upon us. A Paris woman, going to her children's Dlavroom. discovered her little boy and girl absorbed In a remarkable occupation. The boy stoinl. motionless . and solemn, on a small table in the middle of the room; the girl, arrayed in grown-up hat and coat, walked slowly around him, regarding him thoughtfully, now and then peering abstractedly into a red-covered book in her hand. "What are you doing, children?" asked the puzzled parent. "Oh, Paul is the Column VendPme, mamma," gravely explained the sister, "and I am a tourist from America? with a book, you know."?Youth's Companion. Difficult.?A teacher in a certain eastern school asked her class to draw a picture of that which they wished to be when they grew up. The pupils went diligently to work with paper and pencil, some drawing pictures of soldiers. policemen line ladies. etc. They all worked hprd. but one little girl, who sat quietly her pad and pencil In hafl/J.

SQUARE DEAL FOR BOYS. c I Plan to Establish "Boy States" as a t Means of Reform. I That every boy, no matter what his ( condition in life, may have a chance t for success Crawford Jackson of Atlan- t ta. (3a., is laying plans to Inaugurate < what he calls a "boy state" In every t state in the United States, says the St. ( Louis Republic. Mr. Jackson, who has < been interested in the worn or upmiing boys for several years, went to St. Louis a few days agro to interest philanthropists in the movement. A number of those prominent in humane work, it is said, have promised to help him. He contends that crime is more expensive than education and that, the boy state will lessen the cost. 'Georgia will be the first state to have this special juvenile government, and it is possible that Pennsylvania will be among the first to follow in Its footsteps. L. G. Hartman of Commerce, a small town in Georgia, has given 436 acres of land for the project. Mr. Jackson's plan is to have a boy governor, with juvenile assistants; a boy treasurer, a Juvenile legislature, and, in fact, to make the colony an exact counterpart of the state. Of course there will be no salaries attached to the offices. Each youngster will have to work for his pay and attend to governmental duties incidentally, and, above all, there will be no chance for graft. In the happy little state the boys will be removed from criminal association, the essentials of good citizenship will be impressed upon their minds, and there will be a farm and school, and shops to give opportunity for the little citizen's industrial development. The entire plan is, in a nutshell. a square deal for the boy. In the little state there will also be a school, where the youngsters will be carefully graded. There will be no conditions to make it difficult for youngsters-to gain admittance. "We want the worst boys as well as others," said Mr. Jackson in explaining his plan recently. "We will be delighted to take the youngsters with the very poorest chances. I think it a most worthy cause to help the boy who is practically down and out. Take a rude, rough and depraved boy and by frequent little touches of love and wisdom, by oft repeated acts of study and patience, and make him a shining and useful member of society. This is the aim of all arts and the more transcendent because the more divine. "I'll tell you my plan in detail, and I think you'll agree that it will be what we call a good thing for the boys. It was while I was interested In the work of establishing juvenile courts through the south that I met the worst boy in Atlanta. I was determined to become friendly with him, and after much perseverance and many disappointments I succeeded. Now that boy has improved 75 per cent. It was contact with him that impressed upon me the fact that every boy, no matter what his condition morally, will improve If given the chance. So I determined to try to give boys that chance. They can set it through the juvenile state. "We have the lands for it and the plans mapped out, but to put it in complete working order about $50,000 will be required. A board of trustees has been appointed and a charter has been drawn up. We would like to take charge of the boys before they have fallen Into evil habits if possible, as well as those who have become delinquents, and by placing them In the state as active members of life develop correct ideas of citizenship. The officers of the state will be appointed from among the boys. There will be a governor, a secretary of state, a state treasurer, a lower house and a senate. I The governor will appoint the judges, and the citizens will elect their own ' juries, pass their own laws and establish penalties, the trustees only acting 1 as advisers. If a bad law Is made, the trustees will have the power to veto It. "To start it at least $50,000 will be needed. Among other things It Is planned to erect an administration huildihg which will cost approximately $25,000. The institution will provide a place for girls as well as for boys, with a matron and efficient women teachers. Although the girls will be allowed to vote, a boy will be selected for governor. While the charter provides for the admission of both races, the state will be started first for white children alone. "The citizens of the state will not necessarily be offenders, as It Is preferred to get them earlier from parents, who will enter them voluntarily, receiving parental rights of withdrawal when desired. Other citizens will be obtained from the municipal and state courts and at times from the Federal court. The chief industry will work under the direction of an expert farmer. There will also be trade schools with capable instructors. The institution will be managed on the cottage plan, the older children being separated from the younger, the wayward from the less wayward. The citizens of both sexes will be paid for their work in the coin of the juvenile state, with which they will pay for everything they purchase, thus developing habits of business and economy. If people of means wish to place their boys in the state, they will be permitted to pay for the privilege of doing so. But the state would prefer to receive the boys who are penniless and without a chance." FORTY MILES OF SALT. Source of Supply Sufficient For Ages to Come. Scientists, geologists anil tourists alike will be interested in the huge salt beds recently discovered by the engineers who are building the Western Pacific railroad front Salt I>ake City to San Francisco, says the Denver Republican. Eight miles wide and forty miles long, this enormous saline deposit presents much the same appearance as a polar ice tloe, the effect of the glittering crytals stretching away to 1 the horizon in lines of unbroken white, being one which cannot be obtained anywhere else in the world except in tile zones of eternal ice. So closely are the salt crystals packed together that the ties for the railroad are laid on the surface and the lf.0,000 pound engines pass over them without making any impression on it. In placing the telegraph poles along the line of the road it was found necessary to blast out the salt with dynamite, its rock-like hardness making It itniuiMvihle to die- down the eiubt feet required to give secure support to the poles. Eight feet is the deepest bore which has been made into the deposit, and its true depth remains unknown as yet. Engineers who have studied the topography of this part of the country are inclined to the belief that a large body of water underlies this enormous salt bed. and that herein lies the ex luality of Great Salt Lake. The salt Sanation for the well-known saline )ody is situated twenty-seven feet llgher than the lake at the Mormon eapital, and the slope of the land near he deposit Is such that if water existed there it would flow in the direction ?f the lake. With this as a basis for heir deductions the engineers who laid >ut the road have evolved the interesting theory that some larger subterranean body of water Is gradually dis lolving the great salt bed from beneath ind carrying It away in solution hrough underground channels which ead to the Great Salt Lake. In view of the curious geological composition of the country, In which ivers are frequently known to disappear completely from the surface and eappear miles away with greatly Increased volume, the hypothesis is plausible, at least, and will doubtless be nvestigated upon a scientific basis as soon as the Western Pacific is in posilon to handle passenger traffic. Borng through the salt, while similar in lifficulty to boiing through solid rock, should determine in large measure the ,'ormation of the salt beneath the sur'ace and should settle the question as :o whether or not a body or stream of vp*' is eating away the salt body on ts lower side. Government officials from the weather bureau are at present in the Salton Basin studying evaporation, and may :ake up the study of the salt deposits vhen their present Investigations are concluded. Leaving Salt Lake City, the Western Pacific skirts the south end of the ake, crossing it at one point for a dis:anee of six miles, where the water les on both sides of the track, and at nlle post No. 80 enters the Great \merlean desert. Here, for nearly for:y miles the trains cross a vast sea of vhlte alkali, gleaming In dry, dazzling vhlteness In all directions. Looked jpon with dread in the days when the prairie schooner was the best means of ransportation, the desert will now be :ome simply an object of curiosity, to ie viewed in the same light as any of :he other scenic wonders that are to >e enjoyed from western railroads. The Forty-niner, when he reached :he edge of this desolate stretch of Irought-ridden territory, figuratively Irew a long breath and plunged across it with something of the same feeling >f desperation with which a man facng a prairie fire would dash through the flames to the safety that lies beyond. When the new road is completed the porter will walk through his Pullman and call the attention of travellers to the sea of alkali and salt, but the traveller will suffer no inconvenience from making the trip which was narked in former days by a trail of whitening bones and rotting wagons. Over near the west end of the desert lie the salt beds, and here the dusty whiteness of the landscape changes to the sparkle of a Christmas postcard. Despite its rock-like hardness, the salt Jeposlt evidently contains a large proportion of moisture, for it has been observed that all ties, telegraph poles and >ther wooden objects which come in contact with it become moist to a point four or five Inches above the surface. This is another fact in support of the theory that the deposit is being undernlned by a body of water, there being scarcely enough water in the air in that climate to keep the huge deposit moist at all times. All over the deposit, since the advent ?f the Western Pacific tracks, are to t>e found placer claims staked out, with the owner's little notice of location fastened to one of the stakes. Though situated higher than Great Salt Lake, the salt deposit has no grade In either direction, evidence that it was at one time in solution In some Doay 01 water wnicn evapoiai^u, unu, In fact, being the only way in which such deposits usually occur. Track laying over this hard, level surface, which required no ballasting and nc blasting, except for the telegraph poles, was a simple and rapid operation, and the work occupied a remarkably short time. It is hoped that the Western Pacific will be completed by the end o" next year, and after that the tourist and the scientist will have no difficulty in visiting id observing this remarkable product of nature's laboratory.
