The "Gumdrop" correspondent
from Fowler wonders a little at the
actions of certain classes of people.
1t takes all kinds of people to make
up this world and we do not wonder
at anything we hear of people say
ing or doing. We have learned that
most people are ready to find fault
with others and never think of their
own failings. There is no truer max
i'm than "Man is blind to his own
faults" and we believe firmly that
"The proper study for man, is man."
Man is queer animal and you must
not be surprised at anything he says
or does.

The chief engineer of the Rock
Island arrived here this morning
with his corps of assistants enroute
for the Pecos valley railroad. In
substance he said: 'sWe started
from Liberal, Kansas, and surveyed
the old line for about 100 miles to a
point twenty miles east and eighteen
miles north of the southwest corner
of Beaver county, Okla. There we
left the old line, which ran almost
due west, and will travel in south
west direction till we reach some
point on the Pecos Valley railroad
and then we will survey a line to
Liberal, Kansas, and in all probabil-
ity will cross the Colorado & South
ern at some point south of Clayton. "
ssDo you think the Rock Island will
construct this line soon1" 81 see
no reason why they should not, and
while there are three prospective
routes, 1 believe the line through
Clayton will be the true one, as this
is the most direct route from the
Cimarron, Ute creek and Red river
valley countries" The party viii
leave tomorrow for the Pecos val
ley country.-Denver News, (Spec
ial from Clayton.

We notice that an agent from a
Chicago house has been interviewing
the teachers attending the Normal
the past ten days. He has a scheme
of home study which gives diploma.
The fee is something like $40. Now
we have not thoroughly investigated
this matter as it is somewhat out of
our line of business, but we would
suggest that all who anticipate in
vesting should carefully investigate
before paying any money. We have
seen great many of these enter
prises which look nice and sound
very well from the lips of the cum
ming agent who has no interest save
a few dollars commission for him
self. 1t will pay you to go slow in
all schemes of this kind.
