We shall also find that our form OF
government, hitherto adjusted, with the
exception OF icy and darksome Alaska,
to states that touch their FLOW states
on one or more sides, will have to be so
extended or amended as to take in the
administration, either permanently or
otherwise, of remote colonies. Among
these will certainly be the Philippines,
unless Spain suddenly cedes them to an
other nation and that in itself would be
a serious problem, with hostilites far
more extended than they are at present
with our seyenth-rate opponent. Other
territory in all likelihood will comprise
Porto Rico, held for decentralization, and
Cuba held for time sufficient to permit
the inauguration OF smooth running
government OF it's own. Each OF these
departures will bring us into entirely new
areas OF intern ational eensitiveness; We
shall be part and parcel OF the great

and the two rooms occupy one end Of
the building. Between these rooms and
the waiting room for cOlOred paSsen-
gers, 16x24 feet the space is occupied
by the ticket office and the various toll
ct rooms. and the baggage room, 14X24
feet, is at the extreme end of the build
ing. Covered platforms extend around
three sides of the building, with a porte
cochere opposite the wOmen's waiting
room, and q. shed $50 feet in length ex-
tending from the station on the track

Gov. Leedy Will Not Be MOlli-
fed by the Decision
OF SUPREME COURT
In the NJ. X. & T. Railroad
Quarantine Cases.
Another Roast For the United
States Supreme Court.

- Gov. -Leedy is thoroughly ''anti-rai1-
ROAD in his opinions, and for this rea-
son is of course gratified at the decis-
Ion handed down by the United States
supreme court in the M, K. & 7. cat
tie cases, in which it was held that the
railroad was at fault for carrying dis
eased cattle into the state. But while
he says he believes the decision to have
been just one gives the supreme court
no credit for rendering it.
The decision was simply a stroke of
policy" said Gov. Leedy emphatically.
THE United States supreme court goes
right in cases of comparatively small
importance to the people in order that
1t can go wrong with ease in cases of
great Importance.
THE United States supreme court
works its affairs just as Carnegie and
Rockefeller work their business" con-
tinued the governor.
Carnegie reaches out and steals the
whole loaf, and then returns a few
crumbs to the people by building a Ii
brary or some other public act. Rock
efeller raises the price of oil and makes
a few million at a sweep and then dis
tributes a small handful by endowing
a university or making a contribution.
The supreme court sits down on every
measure of great Importance to the
people that is brought before it, but in
cases of a less important nature, it once
in while decides to treat justly simply
to save it's own neck from the wrath of
the people,

The Old Bugaboo Pops Up in Dis
cussion of Quarantine Measure.

Washington March 16.-The national
quarantine bill-the unfinished business
was laid before the senate yesterday and
read at length.
Mr.. Vest (NIo.), in charge of the bill,
offered the following new paragraph as
a committee amendment:
Nothing in this act shall be construed
to interfere with the right of any state to
protect it's citizens from infectious or con-
tagiouS diseases by such rules and regu-
lations as the authorities of said state
may deem necessary and which do not
conflict with the rules and regulations
made by the secretary of the treasury,

introduction of Infectious or contagious
diseases into the United States from for
eign countries, or the spread of such dis
eases from one state, territory or the Dis
trict of Columbia into another state, ter
ritory or the District of Columbia
Mr.. SeWen On. j. opposed the BILL
maintaining that it placed too much power
in the hands of one mantle surgeon of
the marine hospital service.
Mr.. Caffery (La) opposed the position
taken by Mr.. SeWen. He held that a
uniform system in fighting an epidemic
plague was absolutely necessary and could
be had only through the national govern
ment.
ated by mercenary motives in supporting
the pending bill, Mr.. Vest sharply pointed
had come from the southern states.

neer in New Mexico was spinning along
one afternoon last week when he saw a
flock of sheep on the track in front of
him. He blew his whistle, the sheep
took no heed. The engineer applied the
air and stopped the train within a few
feet of the drove of sheep. The engi-
neer climbed out of his cab, took the
dreman's broom and shooed those sheep
from the track just like some old wom-
an. The engineer climbed back in his
cab and pulled into the station at the
end of his run 80 minutes late. He told
how it happened. It was on account of
the sheep, he said, and the division sup
erintendent gave him 80 credit marks,
not Brownies, mind you, but good
wholesome credit marks.
The precedent has been set and en-
gineers must no longer vie with each
other in seeing how far they can scat
ter a herd of live stock They must
stop, get out of the cab, drive the stock
through the nearest right of way gates,
close the gates and climb back in the
cab.

With a Rock Island Railroad

1t was growing dark when three
tramps emerged from the grove near
the Rock Island ~ They were stiff
from lying on the ground and they were
jolly drunk from the effects of alcohol.
They were looking for fun and after
they had crawled through the barbed
wire fence with only a few more rents
in their regular uniforms they looked
for some way to have a Jolly good time,

road velocipede standind innocently on

lights ready to be distributed along the
line by the lamp tender.

this may be so but Harvey's bed is not

Not long ago Harvey received from a
friend of his in the east a receipt for
new kind of jelly. His friend wrote
him that it had no equal and advised
him to try it. Harvey gave it to one
of his chefs, yes, a real chef for he
could understand French far better
than he could English. The chef took it
and when dinner time arrived Harvey
ordered some of that jelly. The waiter
brought him in a dish.
We'll it looks funny" said Harvey
but he used good lot of sugar and

PRAISES THE SANTA FE.
Tramp Who Stole Ride on the New
Postal Cars Delighted.

The new mail cars running on the
Santa Fe between Kansas City and
Chicago have no platforms and the fra
ternity known as THE American No
blemen's association has discovered
this fact.
Not long ago a prominent member of
the fraternity bethOught himself that a
trip to the windy city would do him
good He would fCrsake the city at the
mouth of the KaW for at least a few
weeks and visit the lake front. He
prepared himself. 1t did not take long,
and made his way to the Union depot.
There was a train standing on the San
ia Fe tracks bound for Chicago. The
man who was seeking free tranSDOrta-
ton made his way down the track and
followed it to where a small viaduct
crossed the track. He clSnbed up on
the braces of the viaduct and waited.
When the train came putting slowly
along he dropped down onto the roof of
the first car. 1t was mail car. AS
soon as the train was well on the way
to Chicago he would drop onto the
platform The train was going pretty
fast, he did not know how fast. but
fences flew by at a terrific rate. 1t was
time for him to drop down onto the
platform and escape the smoke. He
made his way to the front end of the
car, swung himself clear and dropped.
Swish, kerhOpt He went up against
the end of the car like a wet rag. The
train was running so fast that the sue
ton of the air held him there. He
could not novel What would he do?
ne was SaLN GnOu8n WIl1le the tram
was running but as soon as it stopped
or commenced to slow down he would
fall to the track as there was no plat
form. He cursed the man that invent
ed postal cars with no platforms but
that would not save him. The fireman
happened to be looking back and saw
the perilOus position of the tramp and
he crawled back over the tank. He got
the long iron poker and showed it ahead
of him and took a good firm hold of the
tramp's coat collar. Then he signaIed
the engineer to stOp.As the train slack
ened its speed the suction grew less and
the tramp commenced to slip down like
drop of water on a window pane but
the fireman took a good hold and drew
him up and saved him from being
ground to pieces. The tramp was pro-
fuse in his thanks. He borrowed a
sheet Of paper of the nearest station
agent and wrote the following letter to
the train master at Marceline:
Dear Sir:-I took a trip over your
road on one of your new postal cars.
l wish to say that since taking that ride
have decided to ride on no other pos
tai cars. Very truly,
WINSOME WILLIE
