The Secret of Success. The motto nf success was given in this tale, told at a banquet: A Swede among the miners in the west was noted for always striking pay dirt. His fellows thought that there must Ik.* smile secret to the unusual success of the Swede and questioned him as to how lie always succeeded in finding the spot whore the gold cropped out. “Yell. Ay don’t know ef Ay can tell anytang 'bout <lat.” answered Ole. “Ay only know dat Ay just keep on digglii’." Milwaukee Free Press.

The Modern Miller’s Crop Outlook Bulletin says: The lack of moisture in winter wheat territory threatens a large shortage to that crop. In the principal soft winter wheat states farmers are behind in seeding, much of tin* wheat sown has no top growth and where growth shows a large portion is ttiin and poor. Seeding continues in some sections, but the time Is short for the work. Farmers are apprehensive, as the plant is in no condition to with i;md the rigors of winter. Prospects for hard winter wheat are much better tliaii for soft winter.

How is Your Digestion. Mrs. Mary Dowling of No. 228 8th Ave., San Francisco, recommends a remedy for stomach trouble. She says: “Gratitude for the wonderful effect of Electric Bitters in a case of acute indigestion, prompts this testimonial. I am fully convinced that for stomach and liver troubles Electric Bitters is the best remedy on the market today.” This great tonic and alternative medicine invigorates the system, purifies the blood and is especially helpful In all forms of female weakness. r>0c at the Owl drug store.

Passengers as Bouncers. A passenger in n full railway carriage in England lias a perfect legal right to push away any one else who trios to get into it. This decision was given at Marylebone police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at Bishop’s road station by another passenger, who said tin* car was full. “It Is the duty of conductors,” said the court, “to see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force (<> prevent nnj' one from hoarding cars when they are full. If they fall lo avail themselves of this right the pas engers are entitled to aet for themselves.”

[Copyright, iao*> by Am* ikan Press Association.] Ten years ago I was employed in a signal block tower ou a railroad These towers are used to operate the levers controlling the semaphores which direct the engineers of passing trains. They are raisinl high above the tracks, and those located out in a sparsely settled country are lonely places. At that time some of the towers were worked by women, and 1 was one of these women. Indeed, I was a girl of twenty. My duties were not onerous. I had time for sewing or fancy work or mu sic, the latter of which I was very fond. I bad the night watch, and I and my colleague of the day watch kept our quarters in spick and span condition, with plants in the windows —Indeed, everything to make the place homelike. Our tower was some distance from any house, hut I was never lonely or afraid, for at the approach of danger I could lock myself in, and with arms and ammunition the place had great advantages for defense. But 1 never thought of defending myself, for I could see no reason why I should be attacked. One evening shortly before dark I was singing, accompanying myself on my guitar. 1 did not hear a footstep ascending, and suddenly, looking back of me, I saw a man standing in the room. lie was quite respectably dressed, but there was something in his face I did not like. Bowing to me deferentially, he said: “Pardon me for this intrusion. I heard the music and was surprised that it should come from a railroad watch tower. I am very fond of music, and your voice is delicious. Would you mind my sitting here,” taking a seat, “while you sing?” I was not deceived by Ids smooth tongue, but what could I do? I must meet deception bj* deception. I appeared fiattered by bis approval and continued mj* singing, though with a trembling voice. The song was “In the Gloaming.” It was very appropriate. but I was not thinking of the gloaming. 1 was thinking how I might outwit some nefarious scheme I was sure the man had in view. It occurred to me to plaj Miss Simplicity. As soon ns I had tinished the song I began to talk about music, how I doted on it : 1 how 1 felt an immediate liking for any one who loved It. But the man soon turned the subject to my work, asking me all manner of questions with regard to It the levers, the semaphores and how I threw the trains on to the right track. I judged from this that he was there rather with some object In view connected with the railroad than myself personally. I made It appear that I was pleased to tell him what he wished to know and talked incessantly in order that I might keep him on that subject, Imping to stave off any intentions he might have with regard to me. “Now, suppose,” he said, “a train should come along. What's the next train?” “The Bentford express.” “Well, you wish to put It on the right track. What do you do?’’ “I pull this lever.” “And If you wished it to take the right hand track of the Y, a short distance up the track, what would you do?” “I would pull this lever,” putting my hand on another. “H'm. It’s very interesting. What a simple system when you once know it.” “Very.” He looked at the clock, rather nervously, I thought, and listened. There was a distant rattle of a train. “Is that the express?” he asked. “I have no doubt it is.” The expression on his fare began to change. The interested look he had thus far worn gave place to one of resolution. He walked hack and forth, and I saw him put Ills hand to his liip. I was satisfied that this was to make sure his weapon was in its proper place, though I did not see why he needl'd it for a girl like me. Perhaps he was going to shoot the engineer. When the train came within a short distance of the tower I stepped to the levers and put my hand on one of them. My visitor stooped, evidently so ns not to be seen from below. “Not that,’’ he said from behind; "not that one; the other. Throw tin* train on the right hand track of the Y.” I heard a click and, looking back, saw the muzzle of a revolver pointing at me. I pulled the lover he ordered me to pull, and the train went thundering by. Taking a pair of nippers from his pocket, the man cut the wires connecting my telegraph instrument with the main line and. taking a piece of the wire with him, ran out and hurried down the stairs. I locked the door and. staggering to ties window, looked out He was running after the train. He turned and said: “Goodbj’, sweetheart. You sing like a nightingale.” As soon as he was out of sight 1 fell on the floor In a dead faint. Then, coming to myself, I got up and, weak ns I was, danced. When he had asked me how to throw the train on to the wrong coursi I had told Mm the way to put it on the right one. I was called on the wire from another station and. not replying, a messenger was soon sent to learn the cause of my silence. Since* there was no damage done, the missing wire was the only confirmation of my story. It was enough, and 1 received a liberal reward. My visitor’s Intention was never explained. It was doubtless Intended to wreck the train and rob it. HKLOISE AMES.

At this meeting the inventory w'il In further discussed and the repor which the President has requested the Commission to make to hiin !y lanuary 1. will he forniulatol. With less than six months in | which to make the inventory, tin , ton branches into which the Com- u mission is divided, aided by the co- | 4 operation of the Government depart-1 4 ments, have brought together what is probably the most useful collection of fai i - ah oit the material things on j which national industry and progress ! 1 are ba:« d that has ever been assem- j bled at one time. Reports presenting these facts and pointing out their significance have been prepared. Those reports, summarized and indexed, will In* submitted to the Commission

at its coming meeting.

All through the summer general interest in the wor kand object of the Conservation Commission has been growing. The public is now well posted on a subject of which only a few specialists had knowledge at the time of the Conference of Governors and experts at the White Mouse, in

May.

The Governors carried the spirit of the conference home with them to their own people, and have kept things moving ever since by appoint-I ing State Commissions t > study local problems, by writing and speaking upon the subjects of conservation, and by keeping in close and helpful touch with the National Commission. They are ready to take part in the approaching joint meeting. The bare announcement (hat it. had been set for December 8 resulted in a number of acceptances before tin* formal invitation of the Commission had even

got Into the mails.

When the conservation movement was started, specific information about the actual stall* of our resources was partly wanting, partly inaccessible. Certain facts were broadly known. It was at least unquestionable that our resources had been wastefully used, and that some of • hem, notably the mines, were sure
