THE ANTl-PAss QUESTION.
Santa Fe Heads a Move Against
Among Western Lines.

Santa Re Heads a Move Against II
Among Western Lines.
Cleveland, Ohio, January 16.-It was
learned today that the Santa Fe railroad
has headed movement among Western
lines which may have serious effect upon
the antipass agreement Of the trunk line
association aud the more lenieut Of the
lines in the central traffic territory. The
Santa Fe has been one Of the opponents of
the anttpass agreement from the begin
ming, and since the Pennsylvania, Lake
shore Erie and Baltimore and Ohio have
announced that they will Issue passes over
their lines west Of Buffalo. the Santa Fe
has made the assertion thar IT will not ex-
change with any Of these roads until the
passes which are given by them read over
their entire system. They say that tho
Santa re passes are good from Chicago TO
Los Angeles, and they do not propose TO
accept IN exchange a pass between Chi
cago and Plusburg or Chicago and Buffalo
on the systems which extend 10 New York.

Along the International and Great North

Asked II he finds any trouble on his line
from Discrimination Of land owners to sell
their lands, Mr. Claridge said.
NO, they not only seem willing to sell,
but with rare exceptions offer excep-
uonal inducements as to price and terms.
occasionally a large land owner declines
TO sell in small tracts, not 81 much from
Discrimination as from the fact that he Is
not experienced in DarCelling out his lands.
and therefore prefers to sell as whole
0t price which would afford fine margin
for people who would buy in bulk and
parcel out. And today, one of the greatest
needs of East and South Texas are people
able to purchase large tracts and cut them
| up for the homeseekerS who are coming
| after them in ever increasing numbers.

The University at Cairo.

a queer university this at Cairo,
with its 10000 students! It's CEN
tral square is open to the sun. About
it are separate "riwaks," or porches,
for each of the twenty-four recog-
nized nations Of Islam. In each
riwak youth from all the Moslem
world study to chant the Koran, to
write beautiful Arabic script and in
the end to be doctors, lawyers, kadis
and rulers.
Each nation has its own cere-
monial way of doing SO simple q
thing as drinking water. Nor are
sect differences trivial matter. The
schism between the Sunni and the
Su6 is so bitter that each deems it
duty to pollute the holy wells and
sacred places of the other, though
if detected the penalty is death.
Minor variations in belief and
custom are numberless. There are
Moslems who wear the fez, the tur-
ban, the tarboosh OF no head cover
ing at all; those who bid women
veil themselves and those who do
not; those who reek of garlic and
those who hold onions accursed,
because, as they claim, Mohammed
never ate them. And the plain man
needs guidance.

Quaint Timothy Dexter.

Many years ago there was an &C.
centric merchant named Timothy
Dexter in Salem, Mass, who had q
work Of his own writing, called CA
Pickle For the Knowing Ones" pub
lished, which contained no punctua-
tion marks from beginning to end,
except in u few pages at the close,
which were entirely filed with COM
mas, colons, semicolons and periods,
with notice that each reader Of the
book might "nix- them in to suit
himself" Timothy Dexter was the
same person who sent a cargo of
warming pans to the West India is
lands. But he lost no money by
this, for the people knocked the lids
off and used them for dipping out
molasses.

A HIGH PRICED CORN.
ts Bothered a Banker and Wac re.
moved by a. Surgeon.

N Sorhered Banker and Wao re.
I. moved by a. Surgeon.
Nelston, the well known SURGEON
was one day hastily summoned to
the house Of a wealthy banker and
on his arrival was received by the
master OF the house, who said that
ne wished him to perform an oper-
alton on him. AS he seemed to be in
perfect health Nelaton was sur
prised at these words, but the bank
er speedily convinced him that he
was in earnest.
Seating himself in an armchair.
he took off one shoe and stocking
and then, holding out the foot, said,
There is corn which is causing
me much pain, and as you are the
only one in whom 1 have any conf
dence l want you to cut it off,"
Ne.a.on's first impulse was to
take his hat and leave the room, for
ne thought it monstrous that man
OF mis- reputation should be asked to
perform such an operation. He
quickly, however, regained bis usual
composure, and without word he
placed a napkin over his knee, took
hold Of the foot and removed the
corn. In q few minutes he was back
In his office, and his first act was to
send the following bill to the bank
er: "For performing surgical op-
GRAFTON, $780,"
It was now the bankers turn to
be surprised, and he lost Nc time in
informing the surgeon that he con-
sidered his bill exorbitant.
Nelaton, however, replied that he
was a surgeon and not q pedicure,
and that, furthermore, he desired to
teach on this occasion lesson
which might not be remembered if
his bill for removing the corn was
anything less than $1,000. The
banker protested vigorously, but in
vain, and finally he was obliged to
pay the bill.

How tho Trouble Began.

and occasionally repeating to her
some item that seemed particularly
interesting. Thus it happened that
he finally ran across an item about
the invention Of a machine for
washing horses.

Huh," she exclaimed indignant
1y, IT'D just like to see my baby

He afterward explained to some
one at the club that it was an exhi-
bition of the insincerity of woman,
for, while he had done absolutely
nothing but agree with her, she was
so displeased that he found it i'm
possible to read his paper in com
fort.
