IQo St. Louis anu Dan FrduClScO n.y.

into Kansas City.
Besides the building of the branch
road to Cimarron by the Santa Fe, it
extend their Catskill branch three
miles down Rid River cannon, bring
ing it less than fourteen miles from
r ston. The Santa Fee also contem-
plates making important changes in
the grade b tween Ratoa and Las We

penditure of about 81, 1900
A suit for $4,000 damages has been
Instituted against the Santa Fe compa-
ny in Topeka. 1t is brought by Henry
Snyder, formerly chief clerk and
cashier at the Santa Fe station at
Chanuta, Kansas, who was arr sted
over a year ago, on the charge of I'M
lawfully abstracting aud selling Santa
Fe tickets. After having been in
prison for year, Snyder was last
week acquitted of the charge, and
now brings suit for $4,000 dana ges
for false Imprisonment and SANDER.
This is the heaviest damage suit ever
inst tuted against railroad company
in Kansas.
In keeping with its old tactics, the
Santa Fee, says the San Francisco
"Chr0nicle, " is building line oslen-
sibly to Randsburg. but really in the
direction of Bakersfield, where the
Valley road will stop L: is sig niticant
that Santa Fee exten-iops all over
southe n California were made in that
piecemeal fashion. First came local
line between two interior points or
reaching ont frnm given center: then
a con 7ecting link with the Albuquer-
que system; next connecting Links with
other small roads, including the one
b1ilt north of San Diego: finally c)m-
plete through service with the main
road. We have al Gays be'ieve it in
evitable that when the Valley line
should be bri't the methods of the
Santa Fee in reaching for new fields ST
business would have further i'll lstra-
ton, and events are justifying that
view. Had there been no preliminary
connection between the Valley road
scheme and the Santa F'e it was
busine certainty that there would b.
an eventual one, for no group of rail-
road men managing an overland line
would let matter of 100 miles or so of
easy construction stand in the way of
traffic arrangements that promised it
access to the great business center of
the Pacific slope Common sense made
it clear what the Santa Fe would do,
and the latest news shows that it is do
ing it,

The majority of children go to the
public schools and learn all from SIM
liar books and 10 similar ways. The
quick-witted bright children catch
ideas and make what seems like great
advances. The dull ones often strug-
gle along, only half pretending
the lessons, and never really graspin 2
half dozen facts about the thing they
are studying. They Prope through
their entire educational career pre-
cissly in this way. 1t is safe to assert
that nine-tenths of the children learn
their lessons by rote and recite them
without any clearly def 2ed understand
ing of VIII at their subject matter is or
the facts the lessons are intended to
convey.

argument that children can be over
