he was filing out blank at one of the

hastily on the back of the draft and stepped
up to one of the windows.

The paying teller examined the paper,

SLEEPY wAKEMAN.

He Was Santa Fe Operator at Lakfn and
One Night Made q Bad Break.
"Last night" said a reminiscent rail-
road man to a JOURNAL reporter today.
81 took off all the clothes I could spare
and sat out in the front room of my
house with the windows open and the
similarity of the conditions reminded me
of an incident that occurred long time
ago on the western part of the Santa Fe
in Kansas when the road was young.
81 was braking then on night pas
senger train, and Jim Wakeman, who
was as we'll known and we'll thought of
as any body on the division, was holding
down one of his first stations at Lakin.
Laf1in was no bigger then than it is now,
and though he was the day agent, he was
compelled to stay in the depot and throw
on the night mail. The train did not stop
and the transfer of mails was made Gs
the train slackened.
Zone night, just about like last night,
Jim decided he had on more clothes than
the western Kansas summer climate de-
handed, and as there were but two fam
lilies in the town, and no callers likely,
concluded he would remove a few
clothes-not families. -
"He did, and was soon wrapped in a
peaceful slumber, and nothing else
but his underwear.
"de was just getting ready to step into
his special car for trip to Mars on his
own trsnsatmospheric air line when he
was rudely called back to earth by the
whistle and the rumbling of the
approaching train. He jumped to
his feet and made a grab for the
mail sack, which he had placed near
rushed out, threw it and looked slespily
after the fast fading red light He
picked up the sack that had been thrown
of and went back to the telegraph room
to dress before going up town to his
rightful bed.
"Somehow the trousers he reached
for didn't go on easily, and after
two or three sleepy attempts he
turned up the light and looked at
them. 1t was the mail sack. He had
made the terrible mistake of retaining
the mail sack and throwing his trousers
on the train.
'All night he remained in the depot
and it was nearly II o'clock the next day
before anybody came near enough to the
depot to be sent up town to borrow a
pair of overalls he could wear until his
trousers could be returned the next

MODERN HARBOR DEFENSE.
An Improvement of Much Value Placed
in New York Bay.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Another very
important step in undermining the de-
Tense of New 7 ork harbor has been CON-
pleted at Fort Hamilton. 1t consists of a
series of tests of position finder recent
ly invented by Lieutenant Bradley A.
Fiske of the United States navy. 1t was
found to be a valuable adjunct to the dis
appearing guns recently placed in posi-
ton there by the government
A series of observations were taken in
points of known distance from the forts.
In every case the Fiske position finder
showed an error of less than one per
cent for each thousand yards of range,
which is the standard required by both
the United States and English govern
ments.

SANTA FE TO BUILD.
Will Extend the Panhandle Line to
Albuquerque.
THIS WILL SHORTEN THE LINE

As Least Three Hundred Niles ana
Make Great Difference forThrOugh
Freight and Passengers.
A party of Santa Fe gentlemen con-
sisting of D. B. Robinson, agent of the
receivers and acting president of the
road, H. .. Nudge, general superintend-
ent, Chief Engineer Dun and Superin-
tendent of Machinery John Player will
arrive in Topeka from the west this even
ing.
Mr. Robinson has been over the south
western lines of the road and in old
Mexico and was met at Arkansas City
yesterday by the other gentlemen and
together they talked over the plan for
the new machine shops there. y
It is whispered in railroad circles, how
ever, that there is a much further signifi-
canoe to Mr.. Robinson's trip and that he
has been looking again over the advis-
ability SO long considered of extending
the southern Kansas line from Panhan-
Ole to Albuquerque in direct line.
For years this matter has been consid-
cred and railroad men say it would be
one of the most profitable branches
the road could own. The cost of
construction would be comparatively
small for most of the line, as west of Pan
handle there are many stretches of forty
and fifty miles that could be made al
most without curve md with very little
grading. 1t would shorten the line from
Wichita to Albuquerque more than three
hundred miles, and owing to the direct
ness and flatness of the route very fast
time could be made, and the distance
from California to the eastern fruit
markets shortened great many hours.
