Work on Sumpter Valley Extension.

a large number Of men are at work on
the grade Of the Sumpter Valley railroad
extension, scattered all along the proposed
route TOR several miles. The extension
branches off from the main line about q
mile and half below town and starts off
In an opposite direction from Clifford, In
order to circle around a mountain. A
number of men and teams quit work a
few days ago, owing TO the low wages
paid and big board charged. One Of these
men stated that with his own labor, that
oi that Of two other men and three teams
he cleared only eighty.ive cents a day.
His opinion was that II he had another
man and team at work, he would have
come out in debt TO the contractors every
day.

loading and unloading into the warehouses.
The buildings already erected and pro-
jected give quite a business air to that
part of the city.
The Nordyke-Marmon Company has its
new buildings completed and now has the
largest floor room of any manufacturing
industry in the city, and but few concerns
carry more men on their pay rolls.
The Parry Manufacturing Company, now
that ii has been granted the right to lay
tracks across streets in West Indianapolis

one-half mile in length. having already
made arrangements with the Belt road
company for its connection. The works
were never before so pressed with orders.
and one of the proprietors says they must
have more room than the present build
ings give them that they may increase
their production.
The railroad shops are still working full

which is unusual in June. Equipping
freight cars with automatic couplers and

THE ERIE in EARNEST
1T IS BACKED IN II DIFFERENTIAL
FIGHT BY OTHER ROADS.
Steamship Lines Refusing Railway
Officials Free transportation
General and Personal Notes.

In railway passenger circles a report is
current that an effort, originating with the
d%iTerentiai lines, to arbitrate the question
OF excess fares and differentials is under
consideration. The fact came TO light over
a discussion by the other differential roads
as TO taking the same action that the Erie
has. withdrawing from the joint passenger
committee agreement. A gentleman who
we'll understands the situation says they
will not withdraw at present, the reason
for this delay in action being that they
propose 10 allow the Erie to fight out this
question with their silent assistance and
their moral support, as they believe that
one line fighting a question such as that
Is as strong as fifty. If the one is in ear
nest, and few doubt that the Erie is all OF
that. IL seems 10 be the intention of the
Erie to proceed IN its line OF action, fight
ing the standard lines on excess fares, until
1t brings them to a point where they will
request that terms Of peace be made, and
then IL will propose that the entire ques-
ton of excess fares and diferentials be
settled by arbitration. the discussion this
time being on its merits. In some ways
this attitude OF the Erie Is interesting,
seeing that IL was the one line which broke
up the former agreement TO arbitrate, out
I'm other ways IL is quite natural, as at the
time the Erie broke away from the agree
ment IL stated that IL did so because the
standard roads were not acting in good
faith.

THE GROCERS ORGANIZE
OFFICERS ELECTED AT MEETING

objects of the Association Set Forth
a Committee to Call on
Wholesalers.

The indianapolis Retail Grocers' Asso-
citation is the name of a new organization
which was formed in the assembly room
of the Board of Trade last night. The
objects of the association are principally
the promotion Of a feeling of good fellow
ship among the men engaged IN the dis
pensing of groceries at retail and to cor
rect certain evils which have become so pre-
valent as to seriously threaten the welfare
of the business. last nights meeting was
called by a committee which was appointed
at a similar meeting held in the Stevenson
building about five or six weeks ago. The
mmitt was composed of A. B. Robin
son, N. A. Moore, w. S.. Day, John Shea
and H. L. Shortemeier.
About thirty grocers attended, and the
organization was started with the election
of w. S. Day as president, Charles II.
Buddenbaum as vice president and f. E.
Heller as secretary. 1t was the under
standing that these officers are TO serve
until the organization is completed by the
drafting of a constitution and set of by
laws. which are to be submitted at the
meeting which will be held Tuesday night
Of next week in the Board of Trade build
ing. The committee appointed for this pur-
pose is composed of John Groom, John

An interesting letter was read, written by
o. p. Holman, one of the officers of the
Minneapolis Retail. Grocers' Association.
Mr.. Holman stated that his association
is fiourishing in a most gratifying manner.
due chiefly to the fact that 1t has the
hearty cooperation of the wholesalers,
who, he said, refuse to sell to a retailer
found guilty of violating his agreement
with the retail association. A motion was
carried at the melting last night to appoint
a committee to visit the Indianapolis job
bers and seek to interest them in the new
organization. John Mesler, c. +. Volken-
ing and John Shelley were selected to do
this work.
In was stated in the meeting last night
that many of the Objectionable methods of
the former association of retail grocers,
known as "The Retail Merchants Associa-
tion.' will be done away with. Among the
suggestions made on this head was that
the old association made itself disagree
able to the jobbers by persistently begging
them to give prizes to be used as draw
ing cards" for picnics given by the asso-
citation. The men interested In the new
organization declare that 1T shall be self
supporting and that 1t shall be so con-
Quoted as to add to the dignity of the
grocery business. a

THE STORY OF KOO kOO.
A Little Hen That Laid EGGS to Help
Missionary work.


Some ten years ago Captain J. Cliff
ford EntwiStle of Salem, Mass, brought
home from China n little hen. which
he named Koo HOO for the town where
she was born. Koo Koo was a very
sociable hen and became as much of a
pet as n cat or a dog. She always laid
her eggs somewhere in a dark corner
of the house and would then go to the
kitchen and cluck until some one hunt
ed them up.
Captain and Mrs. EntwiStle were in
terested in church and missionary
work. SO Mrs. Entwistlc conceived
the idea of devoting the proceeds of
the eggs and chickens of HOO Koo to
the missionary cause, and for the sew
en- years little HOO KoO lived all her
earnings, which amounted to quite a
sum. went to convert Chinese heather.
Finally Koo Koo died, was stuffed
and now ornaments Il cabinet special
ly prepared for her. Then Mrs. En-
twistle put her memory into n dainty
little story and sent it to a missionary
in China to let the children know how
much good IA hen could do. 1t took so
well that it was translated into Chi
nese and had a big circula tion. After
hearing the story read "heathen' boy
painted n picture of Koo HOO and her
descendants, which the missionary for
warded, and Mrs. EntwiStle now has it
cooped up in the cabinet with the de-
cea sed hen. 1t represents the old hen
and three younger ones, with eight or
ten very small chicks The picture is
made on sheet of brown paper, and
the hens are almost life size for Chi
nose hens

The Dog and the Banta M.

The strange Friendships that some
times exist between animals that are
by nature enemies have a new varia-
ton in the deep attachment between Il
dog and a chicken. The dog had be-
longed to a certain family in city days
before the suburbs We're in its plan.
Afterward the attempt to raise chickens
was idle because of his serious objec-
tons that We're made plain whenever a
stray chicken crossed his path, unless
that one happened to be the little BAN
tam hen. Finally all the others were
disposed of and the two odd compan-
ions continued to spend their time to-
gether. The little hen sits in perfect
quiet while the dog ticks her feathers,
or she perches on his back while he
walks. At night he stays by prefer
ence in the chicken house, and the ban
tam DercheS beside him.

RAINY DHy Fun.

Have you ever tried coloring the pic
lures in periodicals or papers or even
advertisement pictures with colored
chalk? asks a writer for children. Ask
mother if she will give you a penny to
buy a box of challs, and next wet day
try it. and l am sure you will agree
with me that it is n most delightful
employment.
Then l wonder if you know that it is
possible to buy boxes of modelling clay.
Red and gray are the incest. With
this clay you can build all kinds of
things-ships, houses, animals. almost
anything you like. in fact. The clay
can be used again and again, and, as it
is only just moist enough to mold and
not moist enough to be messy, there is
no need to have n special room in
which to use it. The simplest plan is
to spread newspapers over an ordinary
dining table. This clay can be got from
toyshops either by the pound or the
h0N
