Which Are the Truest and Most Un-
selfish FriendsElla Wheeler on
an Interesting Question
Views of Different Women Are Men-
the Jfore Generous in Friendships
Toward WouiEn Opinions
Some Entertaining Anecdotes Man More
Ready but Woman More Lasting
in Their Friendships
Copyrighted 1887
In a room full of ladies I heard this
question discussed in all its bearings not
long ago and a great many interesting
anecdotes and experiences were related
The majority of unmarried women ex-
pressed quite uaanimously an opinion in
favor of the men The married ladies
were less ontspoken but the greater
number of them were not enthusiastic In
their faith In mans friendship for woman
Their skepticism might be attributed to
various causes Perhaps they knew the
genus homo better than their single sis-
ters did Perhaps they did not think it
wise to encourage the damsels in their
dangerous even if true theory
Many an unmarried girl is blind to the
virtues of women because she has not
time to study them Her horizon is
bounded by masculine forms and she is
quite content to have it so By and by
when she concentrates her attention ana
interest in one man
appear
trie
like setting
sun why then she
beauty and fragrance
and the others dis
stars at the rise of
of
notices the
those human
flowers women
I heard one young lady who had fought
a singlehanded battle with the world
and achieved success declare that the
qnestlon was not even open to disccssion
in her mind
I think no one is a better judge of the
matter she said than a woman who
has had to make her own way in life I
received appreciation and encouragement
from meu when women gave me only in-
difference or negleci Men predicted my
success while women feared I would fall
Men praised what they termed my cour-
age while women criticised what they
termed my boldness
Another lady declared that she would
invaiiibly go to a man were she in need
of friendship or protection in time of
trouble
If I were placed in a compromising
situation for instance she said and
wished to confide in some one and had
only my own words to prove my inno-
cence do you think I would trust myseit
to the mercy of a woman No indeed
And if I had done wrong and needed a
confessor and counsellor surely I would
go to a man Women are so cruel to
their own sex
At this juncture I remarked that a man
would always protect a woman against
every maijbut himself He would defend
her from the censorious commems of th
world quicker than another woman would
and tnen spoil it all by comprumiai g
her name herself
Hereupon a happy looking married lady
expressed her opinion
You have all given your theories
quoth she Now listen to my experi-
ence No girl ever possessed more gentle-
man friends than I My career was a
selfmade and selfsupporting one also
I too found men far readier with praise
and encouragement than women were
Men proffered advice and aid while wo-
men gave it if asked Yet as time ad-
vanced I found men far more selfl3h iD
their friendship than women were The
interest of my most platomc male friends
noticeably lessened after my marriage
and in several cases turned into enmity
while women regarded me with Increased
favorMen
Men whose respect and admiration
unmixed with any tender sentiment I
would have sworn I had won did not
hesitate to shrug their shoulders and
sneer when I made an excellent marriage
and no longer needed their occasional
advice I really think a mans friendship
for an unmarried woman is always even
if unconsciously to himself selfish
While she belongs to no one he imagines
she in some degree beloncs to himself
and rejoices in her prosperity When
she belongs to another man all this
ceases Women are less enthusiastic in
the beginning but their friendship wears
better
I dont know how it Is in the matter
of friendship a young lady Interposed
but I know when I go into any large es-
tablishment shopping I always receive
better attention and more courtesy from
the salesmen than from the salesgirls
If I desire to be directed to another de-
partment in the store I always prefer to
ask a man as he is more
fable in his manner
willing and af
A young girl who had once published a
little book and sold it on the street to
passersby said fMen are far kinder
hearted than women Women looked at me
as if I were doing some dreadful and im-
proper act men looked at me with sym-
pathy and interest In any time of dis-
tress women look at you as if you were
lying to them men wait until they
catch you in a lie and then tell you of it
They forget and forgive a wrong too far
sooner then women do
Hereupon I remarked that once upon a
time I asked a favor of a gentleman in the
presence of two ladles The gentleman
expressed the deepest sympathy and tag
most genuine regret that he could not
assist me Both ladies voluntarily
offered the aid which I had not thought of
appealing for to them
I think if you can onca remove all idea
of possible rivalry from a womans mind
she makes a better friend than any man
living Tellja womanjyour successes and
she may show jealousy but tell her your
sorrows and your failures and she is
moved to befriend you
On the contrary tell a man of your suc-
cesses and you win his admiring regard
while if you tell him your troubles you
weary him
Oae lady said she thought men were
more prompt and agreeable as a rule
than our own sex in their manner of be-
stowing favors and it was because they
were educated to business methods A
woman often wounded your feelings from
no lack of kind impulses but merely from
her awkwardness in dealing with any
matter outside of parlor or kitchen A
married lady said she quite coincided
with the la3t speaker in regard to the
business methods of the sterner sex
Thereupon she related her somewhat
unusual experience
I wes an artist she said and my
sludio w 8 in the same building in which
an elderly professional gentleman occu-
pied an office He obtained an introduc
he was unusually intellectual and I quite j Indi
prized his iriendship and valued his ad-
vice and criticism Several times be in-
vited me to lunch with him at midday al-
most the only hour either of us had free
from our work for social converseHe was
mny years my senior and I saw no im-
propriety in accepting Well by and by
my prince came and carried me way b
wife Ihad often written tQ him of tae
i
nice old gentleman who was so kindly in-
terested in my work Imagine my humil
iation when a bill was sent in for the
lunches to which the nice old gentleman
had invited me Surely these were
thrifty business methods indeed I have
about made up my mind that a man
seldom or never shows a lady who is in
no way related or dependent upon him
marked and continued kindnesses unless
he expects some sort of a return for
them
When I pondered over all that I had
heard and placed my own personal ex
periences and impressions along with the
other
testimony my conclusions might be
classified something as follows
1 Men are more enthusiastic and ready
to espouse the cause of woman than her
sister women are
2 Women when their interest is
finally won are more lasting In their
friendships
8 There 13 an instinctive rivalry be-
tween women which until it is overcome
by the bonds of sympathy is a bar to true
unselfish friendship
i There is an attraction between men
and women which is a bar to safe and un-
selfish friendship
5 Men expect more in return for their
favors than women do-
C Men are far more agreeable to ap-
proach in any matter requiring courtesy
and politeness
7 Women are far safer and more relia-
ble friends in the long run
8 The friendship of men noticeably
decreases after a woman marries
9 Tne friendship of women noticeably
strengthens after a woman marries
10 A good and efficient man is a better
friend and adviser than a weak woman
11 A good and efficient woman is a bet-
ter friend and adviser than a weak man
12 There is no rule which governs the
matter Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Daring the last fw months the work
of railway building has been going on in
the United States at a rate never before
equaled The great prosperity of the
country and the tendency to migrate into
new and undeveloped regions have en-
couraged the great railway companies to
push forward an enormous amount of
now mileage in order to anticipate or
keep up with the similar enterprise on
the part of their competitors Local en-
terprise in the way of building shorter
lines has also been stimulated to a high
degree rails and other material entering
into the construction of railways have
been cheap the weather for the greater
part of the year thus fir has been very
favorable to outdoor labor and all
things have conspired to encourage activ-
ity in railway construction The result
do far as we now have it surpasses expec-
tation Two months ago our statement
showed a total of 0462 miles of new main-
line known to have been laid ih the first
eight months of the year today we pre-
sent a summary showing that this has
been increased nearly 3030 miles and
that up to November 1 there had been
laid in the United States alone over 9400
miles of main track not counting hun-
dreds of miles of siding and additional
tracks The great work has been going
on in 41 of the 47 states and territories
and the number of lines thus taken by
S ates aggregates 274 although in several
cases the same road Is repoted upon in
two or more states The following table
summarizes the detailed returns so far as
we have obtained them up to November 1

Total ia 41 states and territories 274 940S
These figures for ten months consider-
ably surpass those for the same period in
the remarkable year 18S2 when a total of
11568 miles of new road was built
They also show that already in 1887 more
track has been laid than in the whole of
18SC and nearly as much as in 1881
wnen 979G miles were edded while they
put far in the shade the record of all
other years in the history of this or any
other country We have now no doubt
that the total new mileage built
in 1887 will reach fully to our
previous estimate of 12000 miles and
shall not be surprised if it even exceeds
that While work has been completed
for theyear upon several of the great
lines it is still in progress on many others
so actively that already considerable ad-
ditions have been made since the date of
our last returns and if the weather con-
tinues favorable the final reports will be
certain to show an addition of several
thousand miles over the figures here
gh en As a means of comparison we re-
print the following summary of track
laying during each of tne twenty years
preceding 1887

An examination of the table shows that
whi e the work of railway building has
been in progress In all but six of the
states and territories the greatest activ-
ity has been exhibited in a broad belt
west o the Missouri river stretching
from Dakota and Montana south to the
gull Kansas continues as last year far
in the lead showing already an addition
of at least 1G80 miles since the year be-
gan Nebraska follows next with re-
port of SG7 miles TexiS with 834 mJles
Colorado with 718 miles and Da-
kota with CS9 miles These four
states and one territory already having
added 4793 miles of railw
ajs or more
tion to me and became greatly interested I than hall of the total tins far reported
in my work He never once indulged in if or the entire country Yotmg Montana
the least sentiment toward me His sos follows with nearly 500 miles mostly the
against the entrance of white immigra
tion has been crossed by several great
lines wliich this year have laid down 463
mile3 of track within its borders Ala-
bama comas next reporting 377 rntle3
Michigan 339 miles Missouri 326 miles
and Iowa 242 mile3 In all
of these states works are still
in progress which will materially la
crease the figures by the close of the year
Several of the southern states have shown
considerable activity and the states and
territories of the Pdciflc coast have a
large amount of work under construc-
tion but the middle and New England
states have thus far contributed compara-
tively little to the new mileage The
only portions of the United States from
which no new tracklaying has thus far
been reported this year are New Hamp-
shire Vermont Connecticut Rhode
Island Delaware and Nevada six only
out of the fortyseven states and terri-
tories
The remarkable characteristic of the
years work of railway building is the fact
that a very large part of it has been done
by a few companies Thus we find using
round numbers that the Atchison To-
peka and Santa Fe has already added to
various parts of its system some 1200
miles the St Paul Minneapolis and Man-
itoba 900 miles the Chicago Rock Island
and Pacific in Kansas and Nebraska 700
miles and the Chicago Burlington and
Qalncy in Kansas Nebraska and Colorado
600 miles these four companies thus con
triouting more than onethird of all the
tracklaying thus far recorded Some
dozen or more great companies
have each built hundreds of miles of road
and yet our records show that not far
from 200 different companies throughout
the country have participated in the work
of construction so that even if the great
systems whose progress has been so ag-
gressive and rapid had not been spurred
on to competitive building there would
still have been thousands of miles of new
road built to meet the natural demands of
a rapidly growing and prosperous coun-
try Meantime the work of projecting
and organizing new enterprises has been
going on without check and a very large
mileage is already planned for construc
tion daring the coming > year Railway

A SENSATION
How a Fort Worta Man BerirHad
Find His Wife and 2000 Had
Disappeared
f
A Handsome Yonng Druggist Said to Have
Accompanied Her and Her Three
Children to Parts Unknown
From Daily November 4
When Milton King jumped from the
cars at the Union depot yesterday morn-
ing after a weeks absence in Kansas
City he little imagined wha a miserable
return his would be On arriving at bis
residence on East Pifth street He found
the house locked up and deserted
by his wife and three children
Their clothing and some personal
effects including three trunks were gone
He made a few Inquiries and then pro-
ceeded to the State National Bank where
just before leaving he had deposited
S2000 In his wifes name There was his
fatal mistake The cashier informed him
that Mrs King had drawn out every dol-
lar of the money Partner investigation
developed the fact that she had on last
Saturday night taken the east bound
Texas and Pacific accompanied by her
children but a still more
STARTLING FEATURE
connected her disappearance with that of
J A Chitwood a handsome but rather
fast young drugeist Chitwood has not
been seen since Saturday and Mr King
was not long In making up his mindirom
various circumstances that the miss-
ing pair were paramours and had
taken advantage of his absence to draw
the money and abscond A servant girl
stated that while the master was away
Chitwood was a daily visitor to the King
residence That Mrs King was infatua-
ted with the pleasant spoken and winning
young drug clerk was known to several
who wondered that her husband failed to
observe the intimacy Chitwood was
lately in
kings employ
but a little while before the latter sold
out the well stocked drug store which be-
longed to the late Pred King the gay
young clerk was discharged as Mr
King says on account of his dissipated
ways He had however
boarded with Milton
formerly
King and It Is sup
posed that the liaison sprung trpT iie
he was an inmate of the famiij
Chit as he was familiarly called is a
young man ot some twentyeight or
thirty with light hair sparkling blue
eyes a reddish mustache about five feet
six inches high and of particularly pleas-
ant manners He had been here several
years and was considered as a rather
fast young man but was withal quite
popular
Mrs King could not be called pretty
She is about thirty years of age a
blonde slightly dished face nose inclined
to turn up and weighs 120 pounds The
most distressing part of the affair to the
father is the taking off
OF HIS CHILDREN
They are Kittle aged twelve Freddie
nine and Minnie seven Mr King says
that if he only had them back he does not
care about the woman The loss of the
money leaves him in bad shape but that
too is a minor consideration and his first
thought is the recovery of the children
The girl alluded to above said they cried
on more than one occasion because of
their fathers absence and it is probable
that their young hearts were wrung with
distress at the idea o leaving without
seeing him The wire has been freely
used in sending out a description of
all the party with a request for their
arrest Exactly where they Intended
going is not known but the betrayed
husband thinks they mean to seek a hid-
ing place in Mexico Mr King Is terribly
grieved over the occurrence tChe folly
of a woman has cast a shadovf oer hjc g
path that time cannot obliteraTE an > <
which she too will probably suffer the
panes of bitter remorse
A most remarkable representation of
black walnut has lately been manufac-
tured from poor pine the quality and ap-
pearance of the article being such as to
defy detection except upon very close ex-
amination To accomplish this one part
of walnut peal extract is mixed with six
parts of water and with this solution the
wood is coated When the material is
half dry a solution of bichromite of
potash with water is rubbed on It and the
made walnut is readv for use
