D WATERHOLDAP 755 | It Was Only for Moving Pictures but Passengers Thought It Real Thing. By FRANK FILSON. The journey across the desert is not a distracting one, and any diver- slon is gladly welcomed, 8o that, when the flashily dressed man stood up at the end of the Pullman and be- gan to address the passengers, every- body went forward and gathered around him, laughing and clapping. They thought he was going to offer something for sale. However, he had nothing to sell. He had a favor to ask, he said, and so everybody became silent and listened attentively. “Ladies and gentlemen,” began the flashily dressed man, “I am going to repeat to you what I have just sald to the passengers in the next coach. When we reach Bad Water, in ten minutes or so, a moving picture man will be upon the platform to take some pictures representing a hold-up. Some of the performers, dressed as bandits, will attack the mail car, while others will go through the coaches, de- manding your money and valuables. But please do not be alarmed. The whole proceeding will be in panto- mime, and if you will make a show of compliance, and 8o aid us, nobody will be annoyed. I ask of you, fellow-pas- sengers, to feign alarm, and if one or two of the ladies will pretend to faint it will help things along.” Everybody began sengers were on very good terms with one another. They began to discuss, train robberies. “I'd never give up a cent,” exclaim- ed a stout, perspiring drummer, wip- | ing the alkall dust from his features. “Not for all the train robbers in Call- fornia. No, sirree, and don’t mistake me. I'd duck their pistols and hit out once or twice and then—well, there wouldn’t be any train robbers.” “Well, as for me, I know I should Just faint,” answered a demure young' lady. “And before I fainted I'd just| hand over everything I had.” “Not with me around, you wouldn’t need to,” answered the drummer gal- lantly. The other travelers did not commit “Hands Up, You Silly Sheep!” train began to slow down and there appeared the irrication ditch from which the station took its name. Then the little tin-roofed shanty came into view, and a moment later a half doz- en men, wearing sombreros and mask- ed, with pistols stuck a!l around their waist lines, leaped forward across the tracks. One jumped into the engine cab and held his pistol to the fore- head of the engineer. The mail van was next attacked, while two men made their way into the foremost of the coaches. Upon the platform a moving picture operator had set up his instrument and was busily recling off the film, | the passengers, interested in the | scene, gathered around him. “Now, ladies, now, gentlemen,” in-| terposed the flashily dressed man in' tones of remonstrance, “won't you | please go back into the coaches and | be robbed? You're interfering with | the operator. It spoils the reality of | the pictures, your standing round here as though nothing had happened. Peuple will think the picture's a tnke.! and it's going to be exhibited in all| the leading cities of America. Won't you go back?” Two or three did turn back toward the coaches in a half-hearted way, but the rest remained obdurate, and the | flashily dressed man ran here and| there among them, remonstrating and | pleading. His requests, however, fell on deaf ears. It was much pleasanter outside in the fresh air than within, | and, besides, all wanted to see the whole proceedings. At last, in des- pair, the flashily dressed man threw | up his hands and disappeared inside one of the coaches. ¢ Almost simultaneously a pistol shot ' rang out, followed by a woman's scream for help. The heads of the suducn “I won't give you I won't, I tell you. Thers, | I'd thought it was I'd have acted dif. one of less than $200.

And that’s every penny 1 have in the world.” “It's Big Ike and his gang,” some- pody screamed. ‘It's real enough! My God, it's all real!” Then the flashily dressed man came | dashing out of his coach, a smoking : pistol in his hand. He was followed | by two of the gang. “Hands up, you silly sheep!” he yell- ed. “Hands up or I fire. Now, then, back into the cars. One at a time, please. You'll keep them above your heads while Ike goes through you.” Sheep, he had called them, and like sheep they obeyed. The first to do s0 was the commercial traveler. There was a look of terror on his red face, and he held his arms erect as ram- vods, Only one traveler remained upon the platform. It was the demure ! young lady who had been discussing | her course of action in the event of & | real hold-up. Instead of fainting she stamped her foot violently and actual- | ly shook her fist in the flashily dressed man's face. | “I won't put my hands up and I won't give you a cent. And I've got ninety dollars inside my waist and I defy you to take it, you coward. There!” | Upon the platform the operator was I gtill grinding off his films.

The passengers had all filled in when the wheels of the train began to move. The flashily dressed man caught the young lady by the arm and ' laughing and 8Wung her aboard.

We ain’t ban- dits; we're just moving picture peo'j ple; but we had to get the picture and as you wouldn’t help us—why, we just had to help ourselves. Good-bye.” And as the traln was now in motion | he leaped to the ground and stood smiling at them. When they had resumed their places there was quite a long silence. Then the drummer spoke. “I knew it wasn't real,” he said. “If| ferent.” He smiled at the demure young, lady. But she was reading a text-| book on the Montessori method of teaching the young, and she never looked up at him between Bad Water and San Francisco. (Copyright, 1913, by W. G.

When the people know. the facts and are intelligently led they will face the situation, provide the means and will regard the expenditure for develop- mental purposes not as a burden, but as an investment. They must put more money into this business of rural education to save what they have already put in—to make good what they have undertaken. As peo- ple of ordinary business sense, they must recognize the necessity of ef- ficiency of production. A nation which s spending $700,000,000 a year on war, past and future, $800,000,000 for tobacco, and $1,500,000,000 for whisky cannot make the plea of poverty and cannot afford to say that it will stop ! at an expenditure of $330,000,0000 for ! schools. | An Extra, !

Burns and Tim Smith mar ried as pretty a pair of twin sisters as you'd see in a picture gallery, and | then settled down in the same town long side of one another. For a year everything went as ! smooth and easy, and then a change ! came over the spirits of Ed. Purns ! and Tim Smith. Ed. got to looking at l'l‘hn's wife, and Tim got to looking at Ed's wife, and they concluded they had married the wrong sister. It was amusing when you come to reason it out, for the girls were as mych alike as the same letter out of the same identical printer'’s box. But Ed. remarked to his wife, what a fine housekeper her sister was, and Time remarks to his wife, what a fine cook her sister was. Ed. rays to Jenny—that's his wife: “Why don’t you dress yourself up pretty, like your sister does? She's got style, she has” And Tim says to Mary—that's his wife: “Why don't’ you look stylish, like your sister does? It run on this way most a year, and Ed. and Tim got more and more careles of their wives’ feelings, and the two women folks got more and more miserable and unhappy. Well, it went on this way till the rift in the fiddle was big enough to swallow a meeting house, and then one day something curious hap- pened. Ed. and Tim kissed their You see, Tim had taunted Mary about how much nicer her sister was, till Mary flies up and says: “Why don’t you trade me for Jenny, and | be done?” Tim could hardly believe his ecars for a moment, then he grabs Mary and shouts: “You mean it?” “Yes,” says Mray, with her lip a trembling. Just then who should come in but Ed. and Jenny, and I'll be eternally demoralized if Ed and Tim didn't go at it on the spot and swap wives without any compunction or boot. “Nobody will know we've done it,” said Ed. “You couldn't tell 'em apart till you've lived with one of ‘em a year.” “Nobody but us will know it,” says Tim, looking at Jenny like a boy with i a dime in his pocket looks in a candy store window, | They had gone upstairs and changed | Drying Bottles and Lamp Chimneys Them und me knew anything aboy the deception, and me laying |oy and saying nothing, why, things wep; on from good to better and frop better to best. But what sort of surprised me g the way that the sisters took to jt Their consciences didn't seem to pe troubling them at all, and they grey fat and saucy on the love they wers getitng. I concluded that Ed. apqg Tim hadn’t wanted to swap wives any better than Mary and Jenny hgy wanted to swap husbands. But | couldn’t blame the women folks much, for they were now being treated ke human angels. Well, it went on for most a yeqy| this way, with Ed. and Tim treating| the sister they had swapped for like knights in old story books treateq their beautiful lady loves, then, one day, 1 discovered something that) make me turn over and laugh in my| grave. I've saild before that Jenny ang Mary being twins and born of the same mother looked just alike, ang I'll be eternally shanghaied if they hadn’t fooled their own husbands, dresses, and then came down and pretended Mary was Jenny an Jenny was Mary, and Ed. had gone off home with his own wife, thinking her Mary, and Tim had stayed where he was with his own wife, thinking her Jenny, and by treating their wives like they were some other fe} low's wife, I'll be hanged if they didn’t love 'em like they were. When I discovered the truth | went home and fed my bull-pup on liver till he begged me to quit it and then I sat down and wondered about how long it would be before Ed. and Tim would find out the truth, and the truth would make 'em| ashamed.
