KANSAS CRY, Mo-, October A.-The fifth
annual convention of the Railway Station
Agents Association of North America is
held in this city this week. Two important
topics will come up for discussion, one of
which will be looking toward making the
organization a mutual benefit association,
along with its other objects. The organiza-
ton also wants to define its position more
clearly as to str kes, and committee, ap-
pointed year ago, will report at this meet
ing. and il is suppcs ed will make the asso-
cations position of hatred toward anything
of the strike line very plain and prominent.

The Most DenseIy Populated Region.

This valley of the Ganges has more
people than it can support and it. is
probably the most densely populated
part of the world. The people live in
villages and the average country town
consists of one story mud huts too poor
and lily ventilated for American pig
pens. You would not think of having
such outhouses as the residences of the
majority of this vast population Woulu
make, and in Il large part of India. ant
especially in tho best part Of thi;
Ganges country, the holdings average
from two to three acres apiece. "A
four to the family this represents :.
half acre per person or over l, 200 per-
sons per square mile. When it is re-
membered that these people live by
agriculture it will be seen that this
condition is far worse tnan that OF
China or any part of Europe. And
still the people are bright. They are
brainy. too, and you will find few
sharper businessmen, better cut faces.
and more polite people than these
people of India. Their faces in this
part of India have much the same
characteristics as those of the Anglo.
Saxon. Those of the higher castes are

The population of India is continually
increasing. England eats the lions

and though the people are perhaps

The Sort of Man Rusk Is.


This reminds me of characteristic cpl
sode in his career as the Governor of the
State of Wisconsin. Uncle Jerry was ex
Offcio commander-in-chief of the Capitol of
that State and had authority over all the
rooms except those actually occupied by
the Legislature.
One of the best rooms on the ground floor
has been occupied for many years as the
headquarters of the State Fair Association.
every fall preceding the annual pumpkin
show. The Legislature having appointed
Railroad Commission, as was done in Illinois
and Iowa, it became necessary to lind them
quarters, and Uncle Jerry notified the old
gentleman who serves as secretary of the
State Fair Association, and was In the habit
of going to this room to smoke his pipe and
read his newspaper, that he would have to
vacate. The latter declined to do so, and
acted as if he owned the Capitol.
The Governor went up stairs to his Office
and wrote an official letter to the state fair
board, informing them that they must
vacate for the Railroad Commission. The
board was called together, and after dis
cussing the subject at length, and In q most
solemn manner, resolved to decline the in
vitatiOn. Uncle Jerry was sitting at his
swer was brought to him. He read ii, and
there shone in his eyes the same fire that
illuminated them at the time of the Anarch-
list riots. Ringing his bell and calling all
the janitOrs and porters in the building to
his side. he gave the word of command,
Follow me-" Down to the headquarters
of the fair association he led the valiant
host, and in about three minutes all the
desks and tables and big ears of corn and
mammoth pumpkins were thrown into the
street. That was the kind of Governor he
