In the Sunlight.

The clouds came up on summer day,
And covered the clear blue sky;
They hid the face of the sun away,
While the sudden storm swept by;
And the stricken flowers when the fierce
wind blew
Bent low to the tempest's power;
But they smiled in spite of their tears Of
dew
In the sunlight after the shower.
The clouds came up when my life was
bright,
And covered the sun away,
And my heart grew chill in the sudden
night,
And longed for the vanished day;
But the clouds passed by with the sum-
mer rain,
And then, like the storm tossed flower,
My heart looked up and was glad again
In the sunlight after the shower.

WHY HE DECLINED THE JOB
1t Will BE Seen That He Really
Couldn't Afford to Accept n
Government Position,

The officers of the treasury depart
ment lately had strange experience.
A few months ago, in making a selec-
ton from one of the eligible registers
of bookkeepers at the civil service
commission, their attention was at
tracted by the most excellent papers
of a young man from Atlanta, Ca,
and, as they were so businesslike and
presented such neat clerical appear
ance, he was selected and rendered a
position at 5000 year. In due course
of time the department received a
communication stating that at that
time he was so busily engaged that
he very reluctantly declined the po-
sition. A few months afterward his
name was again certified, and he was
again selected and rendered a position
at the same salary. He again, in very
courteous and businesslike letter, de-
clined the position for business rea-
sons, says a Washington correspond
ent of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
He appeared at the department one
day and called on the proper officers,
and, after paying respects and thank
ing them for their selection, he stated
that the reason he did not take the po-
sition at the times rendered was that
he had a business position that was
paying him $4,000 year.
The veterans in the secretary's Of
flee speak of this case as the most
unique that ever came under their OBJ
servation. -

Texas Alone Surpasses Il in

800 MILES EXTENSION
Santa Fe Has Great Plans for
the Future.
800 MILES EXTENSION

Oklahoma City, Sept. Pin Oklahoma
more new railroads has been built this
year than in any other state or territory
in the union, with the exception OF Texas.
Over 800 miles OF extensions have been
completed in the territory since January
by the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
the Choctaw. oklahoma and Gulf. and
the Blackwell. Enid and Southwestern.
and tn esame companies have further
extensions under way aggregating over
800 miles. OF which at least 10 miles are
1 expected to be completed before the close
OF the year.
Although the Atchison. Topeka and
Santa Fe has built no new mileage in
Oklahoma or the Indian territory this
year, it has planned much important
work in that section of the country and
has just secured an amended charter for
the Eastern Oklahoma railway, which
provides for the construction Of 745 miles
OF new line. in addition TO the seventy
miles already built under the original
charter of the latter company. This
amended charter calls for extensions
from Ripley, 0. T., to Owasso, 7. T, 50
miles; from Pswnee, o. T. to Bartles-
vile, 1. T. 81 miles; from Bliss TO Paw
nee Bluff. 0. T. 65 miles; from Ponca to
Elgin. Kan, 60 miles; from Cushing TO
Shawnee, % miles: from Pawnee. o. T.
via Chandler. Shawnee and Tecumseh to
Dougherty, L T., on the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe. 100 miles. and from Guthrie
northwest to Alva, o. T.. 105 miles. with
various short branches into the rich ag-
ricultural regions of Oklahoma and with
three arms stretching up into Kansas.
It is not expected that all OF this new
road is to be built in the immediate fu-
ture, but the entire projected mileage is
through sections of the country which
VIII demand railway facilities within a
few years If not at present, and this
broad charter will enable the Santa Fe to
undertake the work of extension in var
ious directions as soon as the conditions
may warrant.
1t is a notable fact that although many
thousands of miles of new railroad are
projected in Oklahoma and the Indian
territory, the building is being carried on
exclusively by large systems, such as the
Rock Island. the Santa Fe the St Louis
and San Francisco and the Choctaw, Ok
lahoma and Gulf. All Of the companies
whose lines already penetrate or cross
this section have planned numerous ex-
tensions and branches and are prepared
to proceed with .he work of construction
as soon as the development of the coun-
try justifes. from which it would appear
that there is little likelihood Of any in
dependent road of Importance being built
in that regions with the av0eDtson of tf,1
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient. who's
projected line crosses Oklahoma from
north TO south.
At the close Of 1899 Oklahoma had but
1871 miles Of railroad. according to Poor's
Manual. During 1900 fsS miles were add
ed. and the new line TO be completed this
year viii bring the total mileage up to or
near 400 miles.
