Shaving the head for badness is a
delusion and a snare. When quite a
young man the exchange editor OF the
Philadelphia Times found himself
growing bald. and by the advice OF a
barber. which advice was also Endorsed
by a wig maker he had the top Of his
head shaved regularly twice a week
for six months
During this time he wore $50 tou-
pee bought OF the wig-maker. Six
months was the time he was to shave
his head to effect a cure but at the
expiration Of this period he found that
the toupee or something elsa had
killed all the roots OF his hair and he
was hopelessly bald
In telling his tale Of woe the editor
always removes his hat as he ap-
prosches the climax and thus the alb
soluts truth of 1t Is flashed, like a
great white light upon the hearer. -

GOOD ROADS.

Bad roads force people to live in
cities; good roads tend to take them
out into the country. This observa-
ton reveals its force perhaps more
strikingly when read In view OF the
facts of railroad development to
which the especial attention OF the
American people has been given dur
ing the past forty years. The rail-
roads have centralized the population
In the cities and larger towns and ar
ranged them along their lines OF COM
munication. Now what is needed ID
an equal development OF carriage
roads TO broaden the areas OF popu-
lation and to relieve this congestion.
Railroads need better carriage roads
for feeders; farmers need them FOR ac-
cess to the railroads and to the cities;
manufacturers need them for access
to less populous areas and for lower
rents and for less cost OF portage and
TRANSFORMATION: merchants need them
as an element in the cheapening OF
their wares; the people need them for
the reduction OF the expense OF salts
fging their wants and for the more ef-
ficient distribution OF their activities.
All men work and plan, writes A.
A. Pope in the Forum, after supplying
their own and the immediate needs oil
their families, to leave good inheri-
lance to their children. All good cit

expenditure the leaving OF wise in

Birds with a Club.

Harmon Loster. young man not

afternoon at Reading OF his trapping
of birds in the Hartz mountains, Ger
many. and how he had caught many
sleeping birds in the night with his
hands.
That's nothing" said one. You
ought to see US catch elbedrichela in
America
Loster was eager to know.
"All right said the man. The
birds prefer cold nights up on the
mountains, and as we're going to hunt
for them tonight you can go along"
The starting point was named and
all arrangements were made. 1t had
been one Of the coolest days OF the
winter and at nightfall the mercury
touched zero. The party met Loster
at the appointed time and place. and
all hands five in number, armed with
clubs, proceeded to Mount Penn, over
looking the city.
Where are your guns?" asked
Lostcr.
I'VE don't shoot the elbedrichela.
but we chase them up with clubs and
catch them in a bag. was the reply.
When the party reached Meningitis

The idea was. Loster was told. to

did you see it?" Loster imagined he
did several times and replied, Yes,
as he kept beating the bushes with his
club.
After half hours chase the party
had reached the head of the ravine-
Now. Loster you hold the bag
open" said one of the party. Hold
the mouth of the bag we'll open close
to the ground. Well go down this
side of the ravine and drive no the
birds on the other side. But be care
ful and hold the bag lower or the
birds will run under you"
Loster shiveringly took the bag and
held it open and close to the ground
while his companions. shivering with
cold and nearly choking with laug j.
ter left him and continued beating the
bushes and shouting ''Shoo"
For ten minutes Loster heard the
voices OF his companions growing
fainter. and frequently he felt the bag
to see whether any birds had entered.
Finally the voices were silent and
Loster thought the hunters were be-
hind a hill. He shivered and shook.

RAILROAD CONSPIRACY.

A conspiracy to rob the railroads
centsring in Kansas City, formed
and carried out by two passenger
solicitors, two ticket brokers and a
large number of conductors, has been
investigated by Detective John p.
Slaugh, of the Santa Fe, and will
probably lead to the arrest of num-
Der of the conspirators. The system
worked by the conspirators was the
carrying of passengers out of this
city at half fare, the proceeds of such
business being divided equally
among all interested. A passenger,
for instance, would be turned over to
a solicitor by broker.
The solicitor would put the pas
senger on his train, and the conduc.
tor, who would, of course, be in the
conspiracy, would collect from him
only half fare, that amount being
divided in equal shares among him
self, the solicitor and broker. 1t is
said that no less than two solicitors,
two brokert and over fifty conductors
are implicated in the conspiracy, I
their victims being nearly all the
roads entering here. The Santa Fe
and the Memphis are said to be the
heaviest losers. Arrests are expected
10 follow soon.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.

/ last night at the Montezuma clu1
r rooms was very poorly attended, bu
4 Notwithstanding this, Mr.. Raynold
went on and spoke of the object fo
which it was called. He stated tha
the impression prevailed that he haC
been east trying to sell the bonds Il
build the Denver & El Paso Inde
pendent railway. This was not the
case, as the company was not in
shape to sell bonds, had none to sell
and would have none to sell till il
had 100 miles of road built and
equipped. He had felt the pulse of
the money market on the subject
and had found that eastern investors
when buying bonds nowadays want
ed to know the resources Of the
country the road would pass through
and what its chances were for pay
ing running expenses and interest on
its securities. If the prospects were
good in this respect and those inter
ested locally would take hold and in
vest to show their faith in the enter
prise, then capitalists would be glad
to take hold of it as an investment.
What was needed at present was
to raise funds to secure evidences of
what the traffic would he along the
line of the road, and to advertise it
properly and waken an interest in it
in Denver and Pueblo and also
among financial men. With the
great number of new manufacturing
enterprises she has, Denver will soon
be overdone and have to secure new
fields for her productions, and this is
her chance. Las Vegas has taken
the lead so far and will have to here
after, as the promoter of this enter
prise, and in doing so, she must keep
the matter constantly before those
who are interested in the matter, or
that she can interest in it, and the
sooner this is done the quicker we
shall reap the benefit. As it stands
even now, the road is bound to be
built; but we need to have it as soon
as it can be secured.
Another thing that should be kept
in view Is that the road is to be an
road" 1t will be easy
enough when once little further
along to get one of the great trunk
lines to take it and build it, and
there will probably be propositions
from them to that effect, but the peo.
pie of Las Vegas should never enter
Laiu such a proposition a minute, as
they would then lose nearly all the
benefits to be derived from it, as we !
should then have only one road in /
