The Atchison began the construction Of
a new water tank in the freight yard at
Trinidad. The new tank will take the
place Of the old n and will be forty-eight
feet high, twenty four feet in diameter
and will have a heavy pressure, so the
time required in filling the water tank Of
an engine will be reduced considerably.
The capacity Of this tank will be sufficient
to supply all the demands Tor watering
purposes for the Atceison line, and will be
a safeguard against a failure in the water
supply. The work is being done under the
direction of j. L. Talbert, the Atchison
bridge man.

"CANToN, Ohio, November l0.r-Tha
usual steady streams OF callers were ut the
Mckinley home. to day. Among the first
to, arrive, this morning, was Judge A. L,
Morrison, OF New Mexico"
The above press dispatch indicates that
Hon. A. l.. Morrison is quite In the push
and very wide awake, says the New Me1i-
can. Having stood sauarely on the
tional republican platform--leaving strad-
dies to less nstute politicians-he can 10
approach the throne OF pie-distriuution
with clean hands and q clear conscience.
Judge Morrison has d good memory, audit
requires no draft on the imagination to
picture how he carried with him to Canton
on Tuesday last and cleverly used that fine
political pruning knife Of his. Nor isit a.
all probable that he entirely forgot the
wording OF that telegram which Boss Cat
ron sent to Boss Perea at the time they
were selecting the names Of delegates to
the st. Louis convention.
On this subject OF patronage distribution
a Santa Fe correspondent seems to have
sized up the situation about right in the
Silver City Enterprise. He says:
at seems now hat Cstron has been de-
feated. 1t also looks as though Col. Nor
rison would be the republican Sachem Of
the Territory for the next four years, and
that all government officials will be sub
ject to his approval. 1t is reported that
the hotels are bidding for his patronage
as every leading reDublican (2) In the Ter.
ritory will nave to come here for an inter-
view with the chief. All, SO far as heard
from, want office. Anything will be ac-
csptable. About twenty are known to be
applicants for United States marehal, If
teen for governor; every jack-leg lawyer
thinks that he should be judge or United
States attorney, and a large number are
peculiarly qualified for minister TO
Mexico"

Mr.. John f. Cooley of Rochester, as he
says, after eighteen years of continuous
study that 1 might accomplish some
thing with my life which should make
1t worth the living" asks for subscrip-
tlons, money or goods" to build the
'Aroc," the ante-natal name of an air
ship which Mr. Cooley hopes to see be.
She should be 200 feet long, with a sail
area of $4,000 feet, and capable of car
ry1ng "at least six persons" The Aroc
principle is not revealed in full, but a
few suggestions of it are found in the
Rochester Herald. BY a provision of
the contract, already made, "Mr. Cooley
is allowed to raise his air ship to an alti-
tude of 500 feet before severing all con-
nections with the EARTH" That high
is the altitude from which the ship is
expected to attain the critical or soaring
speed" An aneroid barometer will tell
the height. The Aroc's downward dive
must be regulated to a certain known
angle in order to reach the critical
speed. six young men," says Mr.. Coo

HIS DRINKS CAME CHEAPLY
Got the Bartender's Dander Up and Revele.
In Mixed Drinks

In Mixed Drinks
When it comes to question Of sue
ceeding in life nerve Is vastly better
thing to possess than blue blood, brains
or money There is tall, blonde young
man over at the state department who
is nearer chock full of the desirable
quality than anybody else you'll NEST
in days walk. His many friends are
telling everybody about little game he
played on the man who mixes drinks in
a famous drinking resort on the avenue.
1t happened not very long ago, on a
warm afternoon. The blonde young
man sauntered into the saloon with the
air of a man who wants something. The
man who mixes drinks asked his wish.
The state department man hesitated.
He didn't want any plain drinks, he said.
In fact, his heart was set on delicious
mixture he had imbibed in a rival es
tablishment. He didn't know the name
of it, nor its exact ingredients, but he de-
scribed it as minutely as he could. The
| barkeeper was sure he could mix it. He
| threw little of this and a little of that
/ into a glass with minced up ice. The

bartender tried again. The result was so
nearly right that he was led to believe

His dander was up, too, in way, and
he wasn't going to be outdone by any
drlnkmixer in town. The fourth drink
| the young man pronounced exactly the
thing he was looking for. He drank it,
as he had the other three. He paid for it
moreover, and it was the only drink he
did pay for. And the barkeeper was SO
proud of his success that he didn't see
the game till next Washington

W. c. T. U. MEETING
Right and Wrong Punishment OF Children
Discussed

Right and Wrong Punishment OF Children
Discussed
The mothers meeting of the Central
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
held in Temperance temple, yesterday
was largely attended and of great inter-
est.
A reading on Mothers of the Bible,
conspicuous for total abstinence prln-
ciples whose lines gave evidence for
physical and mental strength as re-
suit, was given by Mrs. McClees After
the usual devotional services, the ad-
dress Of the afternoon was given by Mrs.
Saxton, the subject being Right and
Wrong Punishment Of Children.
1t was admitted that punishment was
important where obedience needs to pc
enforced; but modern teaching exnlp-
it's other methods of home training tnat
very often obviates the necessity of the
old ways of using the rod, when punish
ment Is administered. NO VindlctlVe-
| ness should be shown, and the children
may be taught to do right from the love
| of 1t. The speaker quoted largely from
Froebel, also from the national com
missioner Of education, William 7. Har-
ris, who gives most helpful instruction
| for parents. A bright discussion follow
| ed the lectures; upon the point of an
swering questions of inquisitive little
folks, greatest patience being required,
and a wise discernment of times and cir
cumstances for imparting knowledge.
! Children should be taught to think,
and also to represent what they see By
| skill and industry.
The subject of heredity was brought
under discussion, and emphasis laid on
the proper examples in the home life.
The most interesting illustrations on
the subject of practical discipline to be
administered on the line Of the offense
| closed the meeting.
Mrs. Beelman of Chicago, county SUI
perintendent of mothers meetings
added largely to the interest of the oc-
casion, and the younger mothers pres
ent received much benefit from the ex-
periences of older members. This de-
partment of the w. c. T. U. gains
strength by such conferences.
