And according to official sworn reports filed at Washington it cost 1 "ii to do all: these things. James E Watson bp pis foot slip and in-1 eluded $5,000 more in his report.

Short Furrows

"Abe Martin" in Indianapolis News.

It hain’t been so very long ago since a feller rarely thought seriously o' matrimony until he had made some show in’ in life. He may cave had the object o’ his affections spotted, an’ maybe he dreamed o'J her by day ah' by night, but he did not say, "Will you be mine?" until he had a modest bank account or some land. Ofttimeswben ther wuz; a sort of a mute understandin' between two lovin’ hearts that sortie day they'd hitch, tli’ male would: cause t' be erected a cozy little co--! rage, an’ then he would equip it with j th’ necessary utensils before makin' a direct proposal o’ marriage t’ th' idol o’ his heart. 'lf all went well, they started off witjh a clean slate, ons all tli’ hlushiii’ bride had t’ do after - ruhhin’ th’ preacher’s kiss off v.uz t’ put on a gingham apron an' Ditch in. In these restless, fitful days tli’ idea sums t’ be t’ first catch th’ bride an' hustle afterwards. Thro’ th’ grace o’ th’ easy payment plan th’ young man with one good suit of clothes an’ a frail weekly wage kin take a dip in th’ matrimonial sea when ever th’ idea strikes him. Delays are especially dangerous in affairs o’ th' heart, an’ many a roniance has withered by bein’ held up. An’ besides why should a young an’ lovin’ couple wait years an’l years until fortune has smiled on th ; one an' a hungry, anxious expression has taken possession o’ th’ other. Why should two lovin’ hearts take any chances on what th’ future holds when they kin begin housekeepin' t’morrow with a white enamel refrigerator an’ a Viet roly? But before a girl allows herself t be rounded up an' dtfmped int' rent- 1 ed quarter.- by some ardent you fit J, with. \ guc prospects, she . should make iip i-r mind t' meet bravely whatever turns up in th’ line o’ hardships. She should he firm in her determination t’ stand nobly by th’ young man who has fearlessly selected tlf longest, most tedious an’ most roundabout way t' Easy street. TIT dear ole gra ma o' t’day who : loves t' lay hack in her easy chair: an’ recali th’ cruel hardships o’ th’j early pioneer days, will ho sup-plant-ed by th’ young installment bride o j th' present. In tli' years t’ come,; she'll gather her gran'children about her an’ thrill ’em with tales o’ instalment collectors in th' ole days! when she struggled t' hold lorn j plioneruraph or kitchen range. Maybe she'll sigh as she Icolrs at th’ I ' rayon portraits o’ her mother an’ father’ an’ recall how she had t’ fore - .go coffee or a spring hat t’ keep them from bein’ seized at th’ heginnin' o’ each month. Even th’ chair; she sits in, tli’ yeller bedroom set I an' _ eardi faded rug will awaken memories o' th' heroic days o' her , early installment life.

But tliers lots o' good things t' be said o' th’ installment plan. It teaches th’ young husband t’ keep his shoulder f th' wheel an' respect his employer. It gives him somethin i strive an’ save fer. It teaches tIP young wife thrift an' self-sacri-fice. it gives a' young couple a chance t enjoy, th comforts an* conveniences o' life before th’ enthusiam o' youth lias flown. O* course discretion an' judgment should he exercised in takin* advantage o' th’ • monthly payment plait. When th’ payments are easy ther’s a natural | inclination t’ overstock. It's never justitiahie t install a library until you have sufficient granite ware. < rayon portraits kin wait until sufficient betid in has been acquired. A : Uictroly should never have prefer ence over a lawn mower or a range. ; Actual necessities may he interi spersed with inexpensive bric-a-hrac, jan' later on. if th’ young husband's j (health shows no sign o’ breakin ,-a ' tall an commandin’ lamp may be added. Another good thing about th’ instalment plan is that it simplifies matters when a young couple gits discouraged an’ decides t’ split up. Ther's no long drawn out litigation o'er th-’ possession o' th’ household goods. Tii' installment houses take care o' that. But if ther’s really anything i n a young husband th’ installment plan 'll bring it out.

Noted Railroad Official.

Probably the most popular citizen of St. Paul is Mr. Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad. At the groat outdoor sports carnival recently held at the Minnesota capital Mr. Hill, as president of the affair, reviewed more than 25,000 members of marching clubs. He has been asked to become mayor of St. Paul and has even been boomed for a seat in the White House by his enthusiastic

fellow citizens. His business activities will probably prevent his acceptance of the mayoralty, while there are more serious obstacles in the way of a journey to Washington as chief executive. Mr, Hill is the second son of James J. Hill, founder of the Great Northern railroad, and succeeded his father as president of the road in 1907. He was born in 1872 and graduated from Yale in 1891. Mr. Hill was educated in his father s school of railroading and finance to shoulder the burdens when his parent should lay them down. His older brother. James N. Hill, stood first in rank until 1903, when ill health caused him to retire, and Louis succeeded him in the vice presidency. He has considerable skill as an artist and has painted a number of landscapes. .
