IN TwENTY-sIx YEARS.

A comparison of the annual reports
of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway system for 1875 and 1901
shows how the great southwest and
the great Santa Fe have grown in 26
years. .-r
For example-in 1875 the GROSS earn
ings of the Santa Fee were$1, 500 0O0 ope-
rating expenses 100000 and net earn
ings $500. 900; while in 1901 the gross
earnings were $4,000. 900. operating ex-
penses s34, 500. 900 and net earnings $780,
00o0o-in other words the computa-
tions are now. by millions instead of
hundreds of thousands.
As to mileage. the growth has been
equally rapid. In 1875 the road only
extended from Kansas City and Atchi-
son to Wichita and Pueblo. III miles.
On June 30, 1901. the main track mile
age operated was 1900. which has since
been added to considerably by acquisi-
ton of new lines.
Twenty-six years ago the rolling
stock consisted of 3S locomotives and
1.o2s cars. including two Pullmans:
this year the footings are: LIZA loco
motives and 30.6s5 cars.
Then the car mileage was IL 1874, 900
and the engine mileage LOO, 600; now
1t is 496.000.OO0 and $4,000, 900 miles. re-
spectiNeiy-
Under the items of operating ex-
penses we find that while only $4,000
pounds of waste was used in 1875. the
requirements for 1901 were $50, 900
pounds; coal in 1875. "a, 900 tons, and in
1901. 2.150.00 tons: wages of engineers,
firemen and wipers in 1875. $77. 900, AMI
in 1901. S3.375. 900: locomotive repairs
were $50. 900 in the early period and
50. $50. 900 in the present.
Passenger and freight traffic show a
remarkable increase. viz: 5,665, 900 pas
sengers as against $1,000. and 3,s75. 000.-
600 tons of freight carried one mile as
compared with 1920. 900. Grain ship
ments back in rs were Is, 400 tons,
which had Increased in 1901 to 2.100. 900
tons. Live stock jumped from 81 800
head to $4,000 head.

WHY HE RANG.

A good story is told of Thomas Pres

that illustrates the stupidity of some
hotel be1lboys.
Mr.. Brooke had been doing some hard
travelling with his band. playing two
towns daily for about three weeks be-
fore reaching New Orleans. and every
body connected with the organization
was tired out The next day being
Sunday. the band was to lay over in
New Orleans. so after the evening con-
cert Mr. Brooke left particular in
structions at his hotel that he was not
to be disturbed. except in case of fire.
until 9 o'clock the next day. He went
to bed expecting to get fnll nights
rest. for a change. but at about five
o'clock he was awakened by rap
ping on his door. Not being in a very
amiable mood. Mr.. Brooke asked rather
gruffly: well, what is it?' when Il.
small. tinid voice from the other side
of the door replied: Didn't you ring
to be woke up?''

AT THE WRONG FUNERAL


| When the death of a prominent west
side business man was announced not
| long since. one of his distant relatives.
who had known him intimately years
before. felt it his duty to attend the
funeral. Although the engrossing
cares OF business life and the long dis
lance between their places of residence
had prevented the men from continu-
ing to the last the friendship of earlier
manhood. the distant relative felt a sin
| cere regret. AS he approached the
church in front of which the hearse and
carriages were waiting he began to ex-
perience a real grief. At times like
| that a man will remember things.
He entered the church and sat well
toward the rear. After the solemn
music the minister spoke briefly of the
deceased as a man of unimpeachable
character an honor to the business
world. and light in the church where
he had lahore. so faithfully for years.
He referred to the many excellent
traits Of the deceased his kindness as
a husband and father. and his sympa-
thy with everything that was good in
life.
The distant relative acknowledged tn
himself the truth of every word that
was spoken. and began to experience
a deep regret that the early friendship
had been SO neglected through many
years.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
usual opportunity was given those
present to pass in front of the pulpit.
and take a last look at tie remains. The
distant relative moved slowly forward
with the crowd and looked into the
casket.
He could hardly restrain an ejecula-
tion of surprise. He had been attend
ing the wrong funeral.
AS he passed out of the church a sec.
ond hearse halted. AS one coffin was
borne out of the church another was
carried in. He re-entered the church
with the new cortege and upon inquiry
learned that this time he was attending
the right services.
There was nothing remarkable in this
experience except that the minister re-
peated almost verbatim In the second
instance the eulogium to which the dis
tant relative had already listened. M

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY FELoN.

If the annals Of crime should ever
come to be complied by an historian
with a catholic mind and an eye to the
picturesque, the eighteenth century
would probab bly, be described as the
golden age or felony. and the London
of the same period as the happy hunt
ing ground of the habitual criminal.
With no telegraphs. no railways. no
gas lamps. no police Gin the modern
understanding OF the world. no scien-
tific means of Identification, no laws of
extradition. and no efficient commune
cation between the authorities of ward.
borough or district, it seems a miracle
that a felon should ever have been APP
pretended, except through his own
recklessness or the treachery of one
of his associates. His position might
be compared to that of the cunning old
fox who. inhabiting a country riddled
with earths. rather enjoys the excite
ment of the chase. well knowing that
as soon as it becomes too hot for pleas
ure he can dive down a friendly drain
and lie perdu till the danger is over.
In the case of the willy criminal, con-
viction by no means necessarily fol-
lowed capture. The anomalous condi-
tion and cumbrous machinery of the
penal laws gave a clever Old Bailey
lawyer every opportunity to bubble
his client out of a scrape. false wit
nesses could be bought cheap at West
minister hall. where they daily walked
up and down with straws in their
shoes to denote their profession: while.
If the offence were not too serious.
benefit of clergy, that primitive form
of the First Offenders act. might be
allowed, and burnt hand substituted
for dislocated neck. Again. the fero-
city of the punishments for small
crimes, an anachronism in an age of
growing humanity. deferred injured
persons from prosecuting and juries
from convicting criminals. 1t is true
that throughout the century felons
were hanged by scores and transported
by hundreds; but still the convictions
represented SO small a percentage of
the crimes committed that the imniu-
nifty of the habitual criminal became a
reproach to the legislature and a by
word in the land.
But the dawn of the nineteenth GEN.
fury ushered in a new era in the his
tory of the felon. and from this time
forth everything seems to have gone
against him. In 1908 Sir Samuel Ro-
milly got a bill through parliament
abolishing capital punishment for
small thefts. with the result that there
was a great and sudden increase in the
number of prosecutions and convic-
| tions. AS time went on the machinery
| of the penal laws was simplified, a
public prosecutor was appointed. the
new police was established. newfangled
bolts and alarms were invented. gas
| lamps rendered the streets compare
lively safe by night. railways ruined
the profession of the highway robber
| the telegraph cut off a criminal in full
flight while the extradition laws abol-
ished the sanctuary once provided by a
| foreign country. OF a truth, with the
passing of the eighteenth century. the
palmy days of felony in England were
at an end forever.-George Pastor in
| Longman's Magazine.
