r PIONEERS AS ROADMAKERS. Location of the Santa Fe Trail Not li Be Improved on by Engineers. Present indications point to the construction of several hundred miles of suburban electric railroads in Kansas this year. The demand for inte'*urban lines in the thickly settled farming districts is so urgent that in j many localities in the wheat belt the | farmers are subscribing for stock and ] will raise practically enough money to j kbuild the lines. W This is particularly true in Central { Kansas, where north and south lines \ &re needed to connect with the main i lines of railroads, which cross the State from east to west. A network of electric lines connecting Newton, on the Santa Fe, with Salina urid Abi- j lene, on the Union Pacific, will be built as soon as spring weather comes. This system will tap the greatest wheat region of Kansas, covering nearly 200 miles. I'oncoc Pifv nc Hip stnrfinir point, three lines are proposed to run west to Topeka, and later into the central part of the State. One of them, the Strang line, will be pushed in the spring out along the old Santa | Fe trail. It is remarkable how the old plainsmen who laid out the Santa Fe trail across Kansas and into New Mexico were able to pick out the most favorable grades and prccccd on the most advantageous lines simply by using their eyes. "We tried to beat their surveying with our engineers," W. B. Strang said, "but we finally ended by following the old trail made by the wheels of the wagon trains. Eleven times our engineers surveyed other lines, 'but they finally concluded that the grades selected by the men without the knowledge of mathematics fifty years ago were the most practical, and hence we are keeping very neax j to the old Santa Fe trail in the j building of our line to the West from ; Kansas City." The Atchison, Topeka and Santa . Fe Railroad generally follows the old ' Santa Fe trail in its 450 miles of ! track across the State. From the j east line of Kansas near th3 business | part of Kansas City all the way to the i western border this remarkable fea- j ture of the old Santa Fe trail is ap- i parent. The same engineering skill is re- i vealed in the trail which passes j through the vast stretch of sandhills, j extending over 200 miles or more \ through the western half of the State. The same judgment and wisdom in j avoiding bad grades as was manifest- | ed in Eastern Kansas is shown here, j Invariably the old plainsmen found j the path of least resistance and yet I held down the distance, for the saving | of a few miles in the great stretch ol desert country lying between Independence Mo., and Santa Fe, N. M.. meant much in the wagon transportation. A Model H-isband. The bridegroom of a year wont j down to his office one day grinning j all over his face. All morning long he hummed and whistled till his partner asked him what he'd had. "My wife told me this morning that I am a model husband," he answered proudly. - "I don't call that much of a com- j puuieui. "I'd like to know why not?" "Well, you just look that word 'model' up in the dictionary," was the j advice. He did and this is what he read: "Model?A small pattern; a miniature of something on a larger scale." ?Independent. Candidates With Shovels. This advertisement appears in & j Bavarian journal: "Man wanted to sweep snow at Friedhof. The post is i excellent, but I am compelled to resign because I find that it is getting j too much for me, as I already hold the 1 office of town clerk, schoolmaster and I organist. No candidates without 1 shovels of their own need apply." i One pound of motorite, a self-combustive fuel, produces the equivalent of three pouuds of steam. i A GOOD CHANGE A Change ot Food Works Wonders. The wrong food and drink causes a | lot of trouble in this world. To | change the food is the first duty of j every person that is ill, .particularly j from stomach and nervous trouble. As an illustration: A lady in Mo. has, i with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with them. They^began using Postum and Grape-Nuts food. " She says: "For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble, which kept getting worse, until I was | very ill most of the time. About four j years ago 1 left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I j was so reduced in flesh and so ner- ! vous that the least thing would over- 1 come me. "Then I changed my food and be- | gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to [ Postum. I liVed on these two principally for about four months. Day by | day 1 gained in flesh ar.d strength un- ! til now the nervous trouble has en- I tirely disappeared and I feci that 1 ! owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nuts. "Husband is 73 years old and he was troubled, for a long time, with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon him to leave J off coffee and take Postum. He had j stood out for a long time, but after he tried Postum for a few days be found i that he could sleep and that his ! cramps disappeared. He was satis- 1 fied and has nevergone back to coffee. ' "1 have a brother in California who \ has been using Postum for several years; his whole family use it. also be- I cause they have had such good results I from it."

Scribbler had come from the office in the evening quite "played out" beI cause of the output of his pen and j brain that day, says the Chicago I Record-Herald. He was lying on the | couch in the sitting room after supI per, when Mrs. Scribbler, who had been reading a magazine, said: "See here, George Scribbler, here is something that fits you to a T, and ! I want you to read it." "What is it about?" "It is about that funn,- kind ok men who must have everything just so in their homes, no matter how hard it makes it for others. You know that you are one of the funniest men alive. Every rug and chair and book must be exactly i:: its place, and a little dust sets you to scolding. You must have a clean napkin every meal, and you cannot eat if there is a tiny spot on the table cloth, and everything must be served just exact ]y so, or you get grumpy. Now, is not that true?" "A man likes to see things in order in his own house," said Scribbler. "Of course he does, and i try to keep things in order, but I defy any i woman to maintain the degree of order you expect with four or five children in the house. Now, this article refers to just such unreasonable, fussy men as you are, and it is not one bit too severe even when it says that they are small spirited and lacking in true manliness. I do wish that you would read the article." "I don't need to," replied Scribbler, sitting up to stretch and groan. "I'd like to know why you do not need to read it, George Scribbler?" "Because?well, the fact is, my dear, I wrote that article myself." The Woman and the Dog. A crowd gathered at Tenth and Barton streets to watch a handsome fox terrier that was running about, nose in air. White froth was run! ning from the dog's mouth. "He's mad!" yelled a fat man. The fox terrier stood in the centre of the group, with wide-open eyes, either too mad or too frightened to move. At this juncture the policeman arrived. A dozen voices began to tell him that the dog was mad; that it must be killed; that it had been snapping at the children; that it began to froth when it passed a pool of water, and how best to shoot. A tall, quiet-looking woman pushed through the crowd and started toward the dog. A dozen men yelled at her, two or three men grabbed at her. She picked the dog up and started i out of the crowd. The policeman stopped her with: "Madam, that dog is mad. He must be shot. Look at the foam coming out of his mouth." "Foam," she said contemptuously. "That's a cream puff he was eating." ?St. Louis Post-Dispatcli. His Forty-eighth Call. "I lunched with Winston Churchill at the Ritz in London," said a New York journalist, "during his remarkable campaign. This brilliant young cabinet minister, with his American blood through his mother and his ducal blood through his father, praised American journalists. "He gave me an example of our perseverance. No less than fortyseven American correspondents called on him at the board of trade offices I for an interview one week on the American tariff; and, as none of them had sufficiently good credentials, he refused to see them. "Finally a correspondent came with a letter from Mr. Lloyd-George, and I rum Mr. unurchiii saw gladly. " 'Do you know,' he said to the young man, 'that I have refused to see forty-seven of your compatriots on this very subject?' " "I ought to know it,' the correspondent answered, 'for I'm the whole ; forty-seven.' "?Washington Star. Diary of a Meat Boycotter. ! (Authentic, though not autobio. graphed.)

It consists of an outer and inner metal shell, like one small egg in a larger one. In the outer shell is sulphuric acid, in the inner metal egg is dry cyanide of potash. The outer shell is filled with the acid and placed in the rat hole or burrow and all rat holes are tightly sealed. After an hour or so the acid eats into the cyanide and turns loose a lot of most deadly prussic acid gas. It has been established that a load may break eventually if the wooden | beam which for a short period will sustain safely a certain load remains. For instance, wooden beams have been known to break after fifteen months under a constant load of orly sixty per cent, of that required to break them in an ordinary short test. There is little definite and systematic knowledge of the influence of the time element on the behavior of wood under stress. A crew of eleven map makers of the Geological Survey, under the leadership of Chief Topographer C. H. Birdeye are mapping the Hawaiian Islands.

He points out that the imputation of striking ability does not enable a specially talented blind man to earn his livelihood by the exercise of that ability.

PERFECT HILL OF POTATOES. Sixteen Tubers None of Them Under Six Ounces. The Farmers' Bulletin narrates how a search was made in a field of potatoes for one perfect hill. It was ! found at last. It contained sixteen potatoes, none of them under six I ounces in weight, and none of them more than fourteen ounces, the sixteen weighing eight pounds. The ex? perts declared that "not one particle of wasted energy or soil fertility was ! represented in this hill; and by a ! enfioe /if voorc of srpd splprMfin nf a ; perfect type and variety, by the exercise of a know ledge of balanced plant foods and fertility and by scientific I cultivation and application of mois; ture by irrigation, such hills could be j produced over practically the whole ' field." Thanks to our agricultural pro! grcs?, farmers are thinking a good I deal cf the perfect hill of potatoes, | the perfect ear of corn, the perfect : head of wheat.

A traveling man who stutters spent all afternoon in trying to sell a grouchy business man a bill of goods, and was not very successful. As the salesman was locking up his grip the grouch was impolite enough to observe in the presence of his clerks: "You must find that impediment to your speech very inconvenient at times." "Oh, n-no," replied the salesman. "Every one has his p-peculiarity. Sstammering is mine. W-what's yours?" "I'm not aware that I have any," replied the merchant. "D-do you stir y-your coffee with your r-rigbt hand?" asked the salesI man. "Why, yes, of course," replied the ! merchant, a bit puzzled.
