e Heart to Heart on 11 talks By JAMES A. EDGERTON I AT WAYS ROOM FOR REAL MEN. _ The recent death of the Rev. Robert Collyer calls attenflou to a career that should be an Inspiration to every poor hoy and to every real man. Robert Collyer was known as the "blacksmith preacher." lie was born in England of a very poor family. There were many chil ! dren and an income pitifully meager. Robert when a small child was com Del led to go to work in the mills with his brothers and sisters. He worked , fourteen hours every day. Thus he had no chauce for an education. He came to America to better his j condition. While still a young man he I was a blacksmith in Pennsylvania. At j the same time hp preached for little or I nothing on Sunday. With muscular strength he had gain ed mental independence. lie had learned to think for himself. He came to doubt some of the dogmas of his denomination and had the courage to say so. He therefore severed his con nection with that church. The same mental courage made hie career. He again cut loose, this time from Ills livelihood, went to Chicago and started in a small clnireh. Being vigorous and honest and having some thing to say, he drew other men to him. He became one of the most popu lur preachers in Chicago. He was a i friend of Abraham Lincoln, who had j as little education and us much mental: independence as himself. Later Robert Col Iyer preached in one of the leading churches of New York city. He was the author of many books and was known and loved In most civ ilized lands At last he died full of years and honors. One secret of his power was that he woo aUrnvs mpntiillv honest with him self. Another wns that he educated himself, miiktng the world his univer sity. There are those who whine in our day that the avenues of advancement are being closed to the young men. Rubbish! A young man like Robert Collyer would win in nuv age. .There never was a greater call than now for young men who cnu think, who find new and better ways of do ing things, who have a real message. This is true in industry, in business, in literature, in politics and in religion. The world always has an open door for real men. THE PATH TO SUCCESS. A New York minister wrote to seven prominent men u series of questions as to their rules for success in life. lie incorporated the replies in a ser mon, and, although this man is an elo quent preacher, this was one of the best discourses ever heard from his pulpit. Among the secrets of success men tioned were honesty, loyalty, absorp tion in one's work, dependability, In vention, earnestness, enthusiasm, tenac ity of purpose and hard work. As to whether it is hard work or wor ry that breaks men down, all agreed that hard work would not eudangcr any one's physical or mental health, and two said that hard work is a tonic Among the causes of failure were mentioned intemperance, immorality, untruthfulness, cigarette smoking, making a drudge of oneself and getting 4?i.i 1IJIU Ul'LJU A majority agreed that a college edu-J cation is not necessary to success, though it might help the right sort of man. if not the right sort it might prove a detriment. All agreed that religion is an asset, but oue added that it must be "real and not lip cant or hypocrisy." All these ideas are old. you say? Yes. but the beauty in these men's I cases is that they have tried their mot-J toes out in actual life and have every' one succeeded, some of them in an emi nent degree. They have proved their words. The men that have won have told us how they won. almost from the be ginning of history. There have been thousands of testimonials, and they have all sounded much like these. The universality of the testimony is a proof of its truth. Thus the winners have planted guide posts all along the road to success, sc that the wayfaring man. even though a fool, need not miss the directions. There are many roads leading from this main highway. One is called intemperance. Beware of that. Another Is laziness. Shun it as you would a pestilence. A third is untruthfulness. Do not i let your feet stray this way. A fourth is named debt You will i find pitfalls In this path. Avoid the byways They lend no where. Keep in the middle of the road. PUBLIC MANNERS. Men do in crowds what they would not think of doing as individuals. We had numberless exafnples of it during the late presidential campaign, I The candidates for our highest office were almost mobbed l>y. the crowds. | were jammed and rushed, called by their first names or nicknames and I generally treated in a way that show ed public b;id manners. Yet most of the men making up these mobs probably psss as well bred. In their |>*rsonal re'.atious they are Parental Problems. "Whore a whipping may improve one boy it will create a grudge and a thirst for revenge in another. Parents have several problems besides making J a living.?Atchison Globe. Some Encouragement. T "That girl has rejected me three ! times," collided the disconsolate youth. "Well," replied Miss Cayenne, | "you should fee! encouraged. A girl j who will listen to three proposals from the same man must think some- i Jhing of him." i mm COST OF APPAREL GIVES EUGENIE SHOCK. Former Empress Never Paid More Than $125 For Gow^. Loud complaints are beard because, of tlie huge advance in tbe prices charged for women's nppfcrol In Loa-; don. There is no doubt that in the last twenty years there has been an enormous increase in the charges not' only for very elaborate toilets, but for simple tailor made costumes, and as for bats and millinery generally tney have now reached a price that verges on tlie ridiculous. One hundred dollars to $125 is gen-' erally asked for a tailor made costume,, although it is a well known fact that a few years ago an ordinary talior made yachting costume could be ob tained for balf that sum at the very best shops. j Not long ago. it Is said, the ex-Em press Eugeuie expressed herself as horrified at these present day prices and declared that she herself had never paid more than $125 for her most magnificent toilets. It is quite certain that this sum would not Duy an elaborate toilet that could be worn nowadays at the court or state balls, or even at the Ascot meeting. Five hundred dollars, $750 and even more is not infrequently paid for court dresses, and many of the beautifully draped toilets that created a sensa tion at Ascot this year are known to have cost $250 to $300. ? THE PACE THAT KILLS. Railroad Heads Under tho Strain of Doing "Big Things." Two railroad men of long sen-ice. i President James McCrea of the Penn-1 sylvania Railroad company and M. E. j Ingalls, chairman of the Big Four, have resigned with the explanation that they must give up work of such J rigor and responsibility to conserve J their health. Presideut McCrea has ' been in harness for forty-eight years, j and Chairman Ingalls for more than : forty. Both began at the foot of the ladder as rod men. and as they rose \ their labors made greater and greater demands upon them until the top was reached, and then their hours of work i were limited only by their endurance and the responsibility they shouldered j was often uear breaking them down, i Men in ordinary pursuits envy sucb j executive giants the handsome salaries they receive, but they are always earn ed. often at the cost of physical wei- - fare and the enjoyments of home life. There are no greater bondmen In In dustry than executive railroad officers. It is voluntary servitude, but of a i Mmi thnt nllows them little rest, scant! time for change and recreation, and; almost never a vacation. The general manager no less than the president must devote himself body and soul to his duties, and only sick-, ness excuses him. There must, of course be a fascination about such a calling, and it Is the fascine M/>n of do ing big things In a big w but it takes heavy toll of vitality. The col lapse sometimes comes when the vic tim believes he is still In the prime of life. NURSERY?IN THEATER. London Opera House Rented by Vaude ville Man With ideas.

By It Indians Detected Dilution Made by Traders. When the Hudson's Bay Trading company began Its trading among the Indians it was found that by selling the Indians liquor they could more easily be Induced to trade their peltries.; The first whisky or intoxicant of in ferior quality was distilled in Eng-J land and brought to America in large barrels, but in transporting It overland it was found more convenient to divide j it into small kegs. The traders sood became aware of the fact that by (1> J luting the whisky with water mor?. furs could be obtained. This was prac- J ticed for some time, but , the Indians learned that good whisky poured on o't fire would cause it to flame up, but had the whisky been diluted the fire would be quenched. It was by this simple experiment that the term "firewater" became a common word among Indians. A chief who had experienced the bad effects of whisky among his people said It wag certainly distilled from the hearts of J wildcats and the tongues of womeD from the effects It produced.

DEPARTMENT AND GOOD ROADS. It Directs Co-operation With Authori ties For Improvement. Good roads movements throughout the country are to have substantial support from the postofflce department First Assistant Postmaster General Roper* has notified officially postmas ters of all classes that "it is the desire of the department that they co-operate with state and county authorities in the endeavor to improve the condition of the public roads. "TM-wv /1at\orfmnnt'a nffontion " f>nn tinues Mr. Roper, "has been attracted to proclamation* issued from time to time by the governors of states desig nating certain (lays as good roads days, and postmasters, as representa tives in their communities of the na tional government, are expected to; manifest as active an interest in this movement as Is consistent with the proper performance of their official du ties." COST OF DRAGGING ROADS. C. F. Chase of North Dakota Agricul tural College Gives Estimates. At the home farm In southeastern Nebraska, writes Professor Chase, there is a stretch of road a half mile in length that we have dragged for seven DRAGGING A COUNTRY ROAD. years. Only once during this period has this road been worked with any thing but the drag. Two years ago the side ditches were cleaned with the common road grader. A careful record of the time taken to keep this road dragged has been kept, and for the first five years it runs as follows: Two trips for one man and one team requiring one hour's time for one; dragging is the basis taken. The first year we dragged it fifteen times, the second thirteen, the third seventeen, the fourth twelve and the fifth four teen times, or seventy-one draggings of one hour's time during five years. This at 30 cents an hour for man and team is $4.2(j a year for the half mile. For a mile it would be $8.52 annual cost of maintenance. Another road in the immediate vicinity cost less tfcan $10 per mile annually. The soil is not quite as heavy as lied river soli, but the rainfall is a little more than thirty Inches. A case is noted in Public Roads Bulletin 4S. United States de partment of agriculture, where the cost of similar maintenance of roads in Arkansas was $11 per mile. State Engineer tier hart of Kansas puts the range of cost for dragging at from $4 to $10. The cost for North Dakota should not be over $10 per mile, while In most cases it would be much less, the cost depending upon the character of the soil, the rainfall, traffic and grade. As an average for all dirt roads I would place the annual cost of maintenance at $7.50 per mile or $400,740 to drag in a satisfactory banner tLe roads in North Dakota one year. The total expenditure on public roads of North Dakota outside of t07?ns in 1911 was $<101,540.

Washington.?"Violations of the law limiting the service of train employees on American railroads to sixteen con secutive hours go to the very heart of the efficiency and safety of train oper ation," snid Charles C. MeCliord. com missioner, commenting updn a state ment issued by the interstate com merce commission analyzing tJie month ly reports of Interstate railroads on hours of service In the fiscal year end ed June 30, 1013. Nearly 300,000 violations of the six teen hour limit were reported by 2(J9 railroads in the year. It must be re membered, however, that 251,111 men were employed in handling trains. "As a result of the prosecutions in stituted by the commission," the anal ysis points out, "the number of in stances or excess secvice. i cyui icu uui Ing the last six months, as compared with the corresponding figures for pre ceding years, has shown a marked re duction." THRUST INTO HAY FATAL Royalist Hidden In Cart Is Killed by Frontier Guard. Paris.?A grim incident of the rising in Portugal was recently narrated by a French sculptor. A peasant's cart filled with hay drew up at the Spanish-Portuguese frontier. The officials glanced into it One, to satisfy himself, thrust his sword sev eral times ajnong the bundles. "Pass on," he.said carelessly. An instant later he uttered an exclamation of horror. Blood was trickling from the straw. The driver sprang from the cart and fled, followed by revolver shots from the customs officials. Overturning the cart, the officials found beneath ,the straw a dead man. The sword had passed through his heart as he lay hidden. He was a royalist leader try intr to smuggle himself into Portugal. BITTEN BY BUG, BEGS yBALM. Passenger Asks $10,000 For Incident In Sleeping Car. Milwaukee, Wis. ?

The defendant in the suit is the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul road, and the case will be tried4 in Montana, where the "offense" is al leged to have been committed. When Cohn arrived In Milwaukee he carried one arm in a sling, and he claimed in making his complaint to the company that he had been made so ill that his business was interfered with and that the mental and physical an guish resultant was worth $10,000.

BHBMEBBBMJW W'WItil MfllWTTWI eOV.MSOHANO 1 LAWS FOR LABOR Real Service He Rendered to New Jersey Workers. FOUGHT BY INSURANCE MEN. They Threatened to Raise All Their Rates :f Employers' Liability Law Were Passed, but Became Quiet at' Hint of State Offering Indemnity. [Sacramento (Cal.) Union. J When Woodrow Wilson became gov ernor of New Jersey he found that wealthy employers had been given the laws they desired regardless of tho welfare of the thousands of men, wo men and children on their payrolls. He found that in the factories of the Gtate scores had been killed or maim ed for life and that there was abso lutely no provision for the protection of the families of those workingmen engaged In hazardous occupations. He found that the bosses had been carry ing out the wishes of the interests, from which they had obtained cam paign contributions. That was the situation in corrupt New Jersey, where the conditions of labor had been notoriously oppressive and seemingly hopeless for a genera tlon.^But Governor Wilson determin ed to change it and with his custom ary vigor tackled the problem. Employers' Liability Law. One of the reforms be effected was the enactment of a strong employers' liability law. But for this he had to fight with the same grim and un swerving purpose that had obtained the Geran primary election law. After fVia Kill hod tioon Infrnrlnptvl In thr> loc Islafure and became known as one of the governor's measures the Insurance companies sent representatives to the capltol and through them threatened reprisal. "If you enact such a law we'll raise the rates on all insurance throughout the state. We'll pile them up on everybody," they said. But the f bluff didn't work. "Very well, gentlemen, as you please," replied Governor Wilson, "but remember that if you try anything of that kind It may be necessary for us to establish a system of state insur ance." After that the insurance com panies decided that 3ilence was the better part of wisdom. The employers' liability law was passed, and an apparently fair statute it Is, essentially fair to the employer as well as to the employee, for Wood row Wilson Is not a demagogue who plays for labor's support He merely believes in justice to the whole people within the authority of his office. Prevents Long Litigation. The law prescribes the liability of as employer to make compensation for in juries sustained by an employee in the course of employment It establishes an elective schedule of payment and strictly regulates the procedure for de termining the liability and compeusa tion. It relieves an employee who Is injured of the necessity of instituting suit to oCtain damages by providing a definite schedule covering the differ ent classes of injuries and fixing the employer's liability for each. Employers now regard the law as fair because under It they can calcu late with reasonable certainty what their maximum liability for any one year will be instead of leaving this to be determined by jurors. Employees are greatly benefited by it because in case of accident it secures to them without delay a fixed income at a time when money Is most needed and be cause it avoids long drawn out litiga tion, with its attendant expense and suffering. ; Real Service to Labor. Governor Wilson meant it for both. He supplemented it shortly with a law compelling the erection of fire escapes on all factories and buildings housing a number of employees?not one or two spider ladders, but equipment suffi cient to prevent a recurrence in New Jersey of the horrors that had shocked the people of the New England manu facturing cities. Such laws are worth something to labor. They reflect the opinion of a man who believes in the honesty of (la bor's purpose to the extent that he holds labor above seeking selfish or undue advantage. As they were en acted they represented steps in Wil son's restoration of New Jersey's gov ernment to the people. They wrote genuine reforms into the statute books. Lakewood (N. M.) Progress: "It is a significant fact that about three fourths of the small Democratic and progressive newspapers of the country are for Woodrow Wilson, and all of the Republican papers are doing every thing in their power to defeat his nom ination for the presidency. This goes to show who the Democrats want and whom the Reoublicans fear." Huntsville (Ala.) Times:-"Woodrow Wilson can beat any man the Repub licans choose to nominate against him. Present Indications point favorably to the nomination of Mr. Tnft by the Re publicans, in which event Mr. Wilson will have a walkover." New Brunswick (N. J.) News: "Sen ator O'Gorman of New York uames Governor Wilson first in his list of available candidates Coming from the ablest of Tammany men, this it somewhat significant." Quite So.
