HeR OVERPOWERING JOY.
A bewitching young lady who re-
sides in Kansas City and has friends
hereabouts wrote to one of them, a
young matron, recently concerning a
great joy that had come Into her
life.
"My dear Grace," the fair young
writer said, "I know you will be great-
ly Interested in this happiness which
has come to me. Tou always were
kind enough to be deeply interested in
my joys and disappointments. No
Mr. Waddlngton has not proposed, i
should not be gushing to you about it
if he had. He has plenty of «ioney
and a good family and all that, but
to tell you the truth I don't like him.
I suppose it would require a good deal
of moral courage on my part to refuse
him if he asked me to marry him, but
I think I should be able to rise to the
occasion. Really, I am very happy,
and I should not be happy at all If
I were engaged to Cadwalader Wad-
dlngton. The world seems to have a
'new glory—to possess beauties that I
have never dreamed of in the past. 1
suppose yea are dying to know what
it is that * h<ts brought me so much
happiness uad wondering why I don't
come tr the point at once. I shall do
so—onsy I wish I could be there to tell
you In porson and permit jrou to see.
There are some things that It is so
hard to write about. I can fancy you
sltti z . i A3 with my letter In your
hand r. y. a try to guess who it can
be. A' -, r I have assured you that it
Is no* Air. Waddington you are prob-
ably convinced that it must be Harry
Belden. i>ut you are "wrong. He asked
me in tHe fall, if you care to know,
and f '-id him that I would always
think kindly of him, and all that sort
of thing, and I meant it, too. He is
a dear—only not just the kind of a
dear I could be happy with. And I
haven't seen Tom Anniston for
months, if you are thinking of him.
But all this is silly. In truth I'm so
happy that I fear I*m disposed to be
foolish. Have patience, dear. Tou
would be foolish If you were in my
place. The truth Is I have a peach
of a new corset that X can almost sit
down in."—S. E. Kiser, in Chicago
Record-Herald. ^ ~
A PROBLEM FOR HUBBY.
"Mrs. Bunk and I went out shopping
together this morning, and we got into
an awful mix." j
"What happened?"
"Well, I owed her ten cents, and t
then I couldn't make change and I !
borrowed 45 of her at the first store, j
Then I got a spool of silk and she !
had no change, so I paid S2 cents
fo some goods she bought. We took
..-ar to the next place and she had
..;keta and paid the fare, and I bought
Jd cents' worth of something and she
had three cents to add to my quarter
so we wouldn't have to make any
more change. Then we had chocolate,
and I paid, and then we had some car-
nations and she had just the right
amount. I paid the car fare home,
but she figures I owe her seven cents.
Do I?"—Cleveland Leader.

DROPS CONSERVATIVE VIEWS
J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of all the Harri-
man railroads from Chicago to the Pacific coast,
Is a man just turned 60, sturdy, hard-working
and keen as a boy of 25. He went to work 39
years ago in a Columbus, O., freight office, and
two years later took a promotion to the freight
department of the Central Pacific. He followed
the fortunes of the C. P. Huntington roads
through good and ill until he came with them
into the Harriman camp.
At this moment Mr. Stubbs has leaped into
sudden notice by his announcement of bis con-
version to the most modern and radical ideas of
railroad management, rate laws, commissions
and all. He believes that reform of the sort
will make for railroad expansion, becouse It will
leave the roads free to build, to Improve and to
strengthen their present facilities for public service. . The expression of
his views in au address before the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress
at San Francisco is making something of a sensation In railroad as well as
political circles.

PROMINENT PEOPLE
MAY GET KNOX'S SEAT
J
The name of the Hon. J. Benjamin Dimralek,
mayor of the city of Scranton, Pa., has been pre-
sented to the legislature of Pennsylvania as a
successor to the Hon. Philander C. Knox, in the
United Stated senate, which post will be vacant,
upon the entrance of the senator into the cabinet
of President-elect Taft, as secretary of state.
The proposed candidate is well equipped for the
senatorshlp, because as a statesman, student,
and man of affairs be has displayed great abii
ity as a leader of men, and has proven himseK
the ideal citizen in public service.
Mayor Dlmmlck Is a descendant of an ear-
ly New England family which has been promi-
nent for generations in the social, political and
religious life In whatever community it has
chanced to settle. Prior to the announcement
of his candidacy for the mayoralty, three years ago, a large petition bearing
the names of Scranton's most successful business and professional men,
was circulated, urging his making the race, either as an independent candi-
date or as representing one of the national parties. It was under the Republi-
can standard, with which his family's name had ever been contacted, that
he made his successful campaign.
Upon entering office, Mayor Dimmick signalized the initiation of his
promised "business administration" 'by making his appointments to the im-
portant municipal posts strictly In accordance with his own conscience and
judgment, though he was always open to wise suggestions, but never to dic-
tation. His administration has never proposed a measure to councils which
has failed to carry, nor has his veto ever been disregarded, although hitherto
the mayors had received little co-operation from councils. During hit term1
in office Scranton's physical needs, such as sewers, streets, bridges, parks,
etc., have been adequately supplied, and by practically no Increase in the tax
rate, through equitable property assessment and through the collection of out-
standing Indebtedness to the city.
HOLDS TEACHING RECORD
A REMARKABLE FIGURE
MUST FIGHT TO HOLD JOB

So far as known, Henry W. Clarke, principal
of Lenthal school in Newport, R. L, holds the
record for teaching in the public schools of New
England, having recently completed his 50th
year as a teacher. Though born Dccern?v%r If*.
1&25, he remains in excellent health* and teaches
each day with a vigor that stamps him as a re-
markable man.
Mr. Clarke enjoys his work, his scholars
adore him, and each afternoon children of his
schools are seen walking for blocks at a time
with the veteran school teacher, who, during all
these years of teaching, has taught thousands of
the present grown-ups of Newport
It was through his efforts the mothers' meet-
ings, school gardens and other branches for the
betterment of the Bchool, the scholar, the teach-
er and the parent became prominent In Newport. Born In Jamestown, he
became a teacher while attending school at Brldgewater, Mass. He did not
take his first formal class, a grammar grade, until 1854. In 1S&5 he was
elected teacher of grade VII. In the old Farewell street school, and in October,
1859, he gave up teaching for commercial life in Providence for some years,
but the call of the school bell brought him back to teaching and during Sep-
tember, 1863, he was elected principal of Mill street school, where he con-
tinued until 1877, when Lenthal school was built, and he became Its princi-
pal. He has remained there ever since, without a single day of absence.
Mr. Clarke belongs to various societies. His activity aided greatly, the
formation of the Teachers' retirement fund of Newport He is a writer of
poems and other works.
James Stillman, who recently relinquish^ 3
the presidency of the National City bank of New
York to Frank A. Vanderlip, is one of the re-
markable figures of the financial world. When
he was elected to head the City bank, then a
minor institution, he was a young man totally
without banking experience. He had been left
a fortune by his father, and had added to it In
the cotton business. He was the youngest
of the directors of the City bank when selected
as president. When he stepped out of that po-
sition the other day he left the institution the
largest, most powerful bank in the world, not
even excepting the "Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street," as the Bank of England is familiarly
known.
Stillman attracted to the bank the millions
of the Standard Oil Co., and made it known as "the Rockefeller bank."
He brought to it a great share of the United States treasury deposits, and an
immense proportion of corporation cash. Hs opened a European department
in charge of experts, and built up a big business of that type.
Known as "the silent man of Wall street," Stillman has not courted pub-
licity in connection with his corporation interests. But he made himself
the superior of his fellow-bankers In the getting, holding and creating of busi-
ness. and that with no previous knowledge of the banking business.
Charles Q. Bennett, secretary of the United
States senate, will probably be the most regret-
ful man In the country over the passing of Sen-
ator Thomas C. Piatt from public life. FV>r the
passing of Piatt will Inaugurate a hot flght for
the place held by Bennett—a position which
carried with it prestige, social standing and a
good fat salary.
Bennett lives in Brooklyn and was formerly
a member of congress from that district When
fates proved unkind and the electorate ltckle,
Bennett had the Washington habit so that he
hated to ihlnk of leaving. So he went out for
the other job, and Senator Piatt went Into the
flght and helped him to land It
Now Henry M. Rose, reading clerk of the
house, is after the place, and he has the backing
of several senators and a whole list of representatives. A number of men
who have recently been promoted from the lower house to the senate are
especially strong for Rose, and with Piatt gone the chances of Secretary
Bennett look slender.
