HAS IMMENSE RAILROAD JOB
American Engineer at Work on One
of the Biggest Lines That Has
Been Built.
With $10,000,000 at his command,
Alfred W. McCunc, an American,
is at work on one of the biggest
railroad jobs on record. The
line will extend from tbo top of the
Andes to the westcyn limit of navigation
on the Amazon and its tributary.
the TTnnvli n Hiuhmrn nf 9.70
miles, and it is stipulated that it
must be completed by the opening
of the*Panama canal. Connecting
with the rai'road which Henry
Meigs built forty years ago from the
Pacific at Callao, one hundred miles
west to a pass over the Andes, the
new line will furnish the last link
in the first rail-ar\d-water route
across equatorial America, and will
join the two sections of Peru now
separated by the high mountain
range. With the complete system in
operation, products now in transit
for months can be transported in
four days. A large part of the rul>l?or
from the Putomayo district now
freighted down streams to Iquitos,
2,300 miles from I he mouth of the
Amazon, and loaded on steamers for
North America and Europe, will ho
taken bv rail to ChIIho, on the Pacific,
and thence by steamer through
the Panama canal.
GOOD SIGN
"Shall we kill -that turlc for dinner?"
"Well, I suppose he wouldn't go
bad. We've been eating his forefathers
for the last ten ye^rs, and
they were all good."
8TRAW VOTE8.
A
"I never really did take much
atock in straw votes," said the defeated
candidate, "hut 1 must admit
that there is more comfort in them
than there is sometimes in the real
thing."
CLOSED WINDOWS NOW.
Bacon?1 see h .. .hi in a western
town has shot holes in a neighbor's
window.
Egbert?Probably didn't know it
was the closed season for windows.
CHARITY.
"There is nothing (o be said for
an author who will steal all his <mnd
0
ideas."
"At least, you might give hiro
credit for not stealing had ones."
WAY OF IT.
Fricnw?Is your son still pursuing
his studies at college?
Father (regretfully)?He must,
for he doesn't seem to Ik* catching up
with any of them.
AIRI8H.
"Don't you think Miss Corker ha*
a breezy manner?"
"Yes, indeed. When she's around
it alwavs seems to me like a windy
day."
COMPAfMNG.
Greene?This European concert ii
not a musical organization, is it?
Gates?Well, it is busy preparing
notes for the turkey trot.
m

THIS IS AGE CF "SOCIETIES"
i I
t
New Yorker's Appeal for Suppressing
Overwork /? Organization.
Who can deny that this is preeminently
the age of combinations
qnd societies?" There is a society,
with a capital S, for every purpose
under the heaven. Yes, verily, a society
to. mourn end a society for
peace, a society for noise and a soci- j
ety for the suppression of noise, a
society for giving and, nt last, a society
for the preventing of giving.
Is it not almost time to pause in
our mad career of organization and j
to ask ourselves, What next? asks ,
a correspondent of the Yew York
Times. Whither and wherefore?
Forsooth, can we not suppress superfluous
noises without making so
much noise about it? And is it absolutely
necessary to pay useless dues
in order to prevent uselrss givings?
Fellow sufferers, let us be up and
doing! There is but"one way out
of this intolerable situation. Perhaps
you have guessed it nlready.
I^et us organize one more society.
This is to be the greatest, most farreaching
and final achievement of
this age of marvelous achievements.
I jet us form a society for the prevention
and suppression of useless societies.
| Henceforth let Spasus be the great
battlecry of humanity! Then shall i
! we live happily forever after. Selabi!
