Reports from south New Jersey
say that some of the stone roads are
in bad condition. The freeholders,
who have them in charge, are farm
ers, and will not look after them while
busy with farm work, nor employ
supervisor to care for them. This
will prove an expensive policy, as
thorough system of care and re-
pair is essential to maintain stone
roads in condition and secure the
greatest efficiency from them.
In a measure high culture helps to
produce better fruit and prevent rot.

STRAINING A FRIENDSHIP.
A story which Snapped the Bonds
That United Two Sweet
Young Things.

They were standing at the counter, and
l couldn't help but hear.
Talk about hard luck" said the girl
with the hot chocolate. II know wom-
an who had an awful thing happen to her
over in New York"
oh, do tell me about it," gurgled the
girl with the ice cream soda.
"Well," went on the chocolate girl, "she's
not wealthy at all, you know, and she
doesn't keep nurse. So, one day, when
she had to go down town shopping, she took
her baby and left it at one of these day
nursery creche places. They gave her a
check for it, and she went off shopping. She
didn't come back to the creche till late in
the afternoon, and when she went to take
out the check it was gone
Good gracious!' said the girl with the
ice cream soda, looking shocked. What
did she dor
"Wen," went on the chocolate girl, "they
told her she couldn't take the baby without
a check, and she'd have to wait till the other
babies were taken away, and then she could
have what was left So she waited for hours
and hours, till all the babies were gone but
one, and when she went to get that-well
the only baby left was a colored baby"
"Oh, how perfectly awful" exclaimed
the girl with the ice cream soda, in accents
of horror. What did she do? Wasn't she
perfectly frantic? My goodness, how hor
rible! Didn't she ever get her baby back
again? l should think she'd have been per
fectly crazy. What did she do?"
"Oh, said the chocolate girl, coolly, "she
took the colored baby. 1t was hers. She
was colored, you know"
And in the silence which followed l could
hear the swapping of the bonds of tender
and lifelong friendship Washington Post

Santa Fe May Have a Peculiar
Damage Case.
Dismissal of the Agent at EN-
pOria Junction
BASIS FOR THE SUIT.
Agent In Trouble With the
F'Katy" Road.
Gets on Train Without Tickets
-Gateman Protests.
BASIS FOR THE SUIT.

The case of the dismissal of George
Jernigan, Santa Fe agent at the juno
ton at Emporia last summer is attract
ing attention in railroad circles at pres
ent because of the efforts being made
to have him reinstated or to collect
damages from the company.
The passing of Jernigan was a Pc
culiar one and the history of it is about
as follows:
The Santa Fe depot at the Junction
where Jernigan was agent is located at
the points where the Katy and Santa F'e
cross. The Katy uses the gate sys-
tenn at this point and no one is allowed
on the train who is without a ticket.
One rainy evening last summer Jerni-
gan and his wife desired to visit their
parents up near the Katy depot a half
mile away. As the agent for the Santa
F'e Jernigan had often taken this trip
before without question and without
ticket and nothing had been said of the
matter.
At this time the rain was falling very
fast and neither Mr.. or Mrs. Jernigan
had an umbrella or extra wraps and
made a dash on the train as soon as it
stopped regardless of the protest of the
Sateman for tickets. This aroused the
Ire OF the gentleman and he followed
the pair on the train still demanding
his pasteboards. Mr.. Jernigan refused
to get off and finally told the trainnan
to vacate or he would throw him off
AT this the Katy man retired while Mr.
ney.
Later the Katy took the matter I'D
with the santa Fe and Mr.. Jernigan
was dismissed from the service of the
road.
Now friends of Jernigan are consult
ing the Madden Brothers of Emporia
with view to bringing suit to compel
the road TO re1nstate Jernigan to his
former position, or pay damages for his
dismissal without cause.
The case in an interesting. one and
will be watched with attention by the
railroad men of the state

REFORM SCHOOL FAULTS.

visiting Don NJ. Willitts of the United

served two years as officer in charge or
the reform school he is naturally much
interested in the institution.
s'This question of punishment ana
discipline is the great question Of the
government of the institution, sa1d MI
towel 1T is a question that can De
considered with profit. 1t must be re-
membered that the punishment that
will be effective with one boy VIII prove
a failure with another. Different boys
REQUIRE different methods OF discipline
and that is why I say that the question
of discipline is most important.
Boys who have been used to rough

school and it is a serious question what
is the best means of managing them

Then Major Shreve piloted the party
up into the supreme court room, where
they were met by ex-senator Martin,

Senator Martin occupied the other two
chairs on the supreme bench.

Rose had other engagements to fill, and

PRAISES THE SANTA FEE
Railway Age Speaks a Good Word for

shows an Increase in gross earnings of
$3.50, 459, of which over four millions
came from freight and over one million
from passengers. There was an increase
in operating expense of So. 269, 123. leav-
ing an increase in net earnings of So
3l1,SS The percentage of operating
expenses to earnings was reduced from
1904 per cent to 1853 per cent
This percentage is of course a large
one, but it had been anticipated and is
thoroughly understood. No one would
have been surprised if the percentage
had been even higher than last year
because the frankly proclaimed policy
of the present mana cement is to set the
Improvement Of the property above i'm
mediate profits. It is unQuestiona bly,
the policy which the situation demand
ed and any other would be unWise. To
show how the policy has been followed
it is only necessary to refer to the fig
ures given in the present report, where
in the expenditure for maintenance Of
road and structures is given as So, 2S1,-
397 for the 1916 miles of line. This is a
very large expenditure. When the road
is once brought up to standard (and it
has very nearly been accomplished now
the normal annual expense in this di-
rection should not be above 20 or so
per cent of the figures for the year just
closed Such a reduction would mean
an addition Of some three millions of
dollars to net earnings.
There are of course other directions
in which the high rate of expenditure
of the last two years is not likely to
be continued indefinitely, and in view
of these facts the outlook for the COM
pany is most promising. The earning
capacity of the property has been dem
Onstrated before and is seen again in
this report, the gross earnings having
almost reached the forty million mark
-S39, PA 099. This will unquestionably
be increased. With the road and equip
ment brought up to the level at which
the present management is aiming, bus
mess will be handled economically, and
there is apparently a sufficient margin
of profit to make the holders of both
the adjustment bonds and the preferred
stock easy in their minds for the future
a we'll as giving good grounds for hope
to the holders of common stock"

vacancies nominated Henry NJ. McDon-
aid of the county of New York for the
place.
Mr.. George in his letter says that by
pursuing uninterruptedIy the duty of
writing his fathers biography he can
do more for the principles of freedom
than by engaging actively in politics.
He continues: Il should say in justice
to myself and those who honestly ad-
vance the silver question to the rank
of first Importance that I am, no more
than my father was, an advocate Of
free coinage. He supported the Chi
cagO platform not on account of, but
in spite of its advocacy of free silver,
because he believed that in other re-
spectS it stood fer the principles Of
freedom. because 1T took the side of
the weak as against that of mOnOpo-
lists; because it sided with the house
of . ant against the house of have. I
am in entire accord with those views,
and I think it proper to state this
frankly that there may be no room for
misunderstanding on the part Of any

NEW ENGINE SIGNAL.
Santa Fe and Rock Island May Adopt
Engineer Reeds Device.

George c. Reed of Albuquerque, a
Santa Fe engineer who formerly lived
at Chanute, is the inventor of a new
signal flag to carry on engines.
For several days past Mr.. Reed has
been in Topeka in the interest of his in
vention consulting with the Santa F'e
and Rock Island roads. He has re-
ceived much encouragement from both
roads and the probabilities are that his
invention will be adopted by both of
these great railway systems.
Mr.. Reeds invention is designed to
supplant the flags on the engine for
signaling purposes. 1t is of sheet iron
metal and contains within it's folds the
colors used for signaling purposes.
When a red signal is desired a pin is
pushed and out it comes and so with
other colors. The advantages of this
device is that it doesn't wave in the
wind being stationary and the colOrs
are always clean and can be seen much
palmer than a flag.
