The Chicago Burlington & Quincy
Railroad, known as the burlington
Route" has always stood well with
Missouri newspaper men. They never
ask a reasonable favor of that route but
that it Is granted. When the trip to
Canada was proposed, the Burlington
stood ready to transport the party to
Canada Ond back TO Kansas City.
When the ST. Paul trip was proposed
the Burlington offered to handle the
editorial party free Of charge. The
party chartered a sleeping car, and II
was taken to Omaha, then 10 st. Paul,
then back to Kansas City, and an
official OF the road accompanied the
editors and showed them every cour-
tesy. At Council Bluffs a little halt
was made, and while some switching
vas being done, the editorial party
held a meeting on the depot platform,
and passed resolutions thanking the
railroad for its very liberal treatment.
The resolutions were adopted with
shout that startled the people in tn,
depot. The ladies voted as loudly al
they could, and joined in giving tire,
cheers for the Burlington and il,
accommodating officials.

The fact has been discovered that
many men drawing pensions for "total
disability" served in the the Spanish
American wal and have been RECON-
mended for promotion. There seems to
BE- a big screw loose somewhere IN the
pension department of this great
government. If men were able ia
serve in the army they evidently were
not ENTITLED to pensions on the ground
Of 'total dlsabilaty," and the interest
ing question in this connection is how
did they get on the pension roll?

Perhaps the most significant educa-

with Central College, Fayetie Mo-, Of

Until recently there we're DO fewer

tons are to Be academies, which shall
fit students for the freshman or sopho-
more classes of Central College.
The schools now IN the Central
system are: woOdson Institute, Rich
mond; Centenary Academy, Palmyra,
and Northwest Missouri Academy,
Albany. The properties Of all these
insiit ltions baye been transferred to
Central College Board Of Trustees,
which will elect professors and manage
the institutions, President Craighead to
have general supervision Of the entire
system.
At the beginning Of the year debts
aggregaiing $4,000 hung over these
schools, but through the heroic efforts
Of Doctors Grimes, Boone, Packard and
Anderson, as well as Of Doctor Craig.

"My wife's got a cold again, DOCTOR
he said,
Like a man who for grievance has
cause:
Despite all my protests, she would
so last night
To the ball in a dress made OF
gauze."
Though the doctor tried hard to look
grave, on his face
Was a smile not so hard TO detect.
AS he answered.: THAT settles the
matter at once,
It's a plain case Of gauZe and effect"
