Stories of the Week.

A Darwinian missing link who runs
a crutch factory in Chicago was in
town the other day trying to trade US
a pair of crutches in exchange for a
column of advertising. We informed
him that we were not crippled and
had no use for crutches. He insisted
that we were crippled, and to display
his Immaculate gall removed our hat,
saying as he did so that we were Grip
pied in our head. This was an inten-
tional insult to our intelligence and
done purely through malice because
we would not exchange a $40 adver-
tisement for a pair of Is cent crutch-
es, for which we do not now and new
er expect to use. 1t is not an uncom-
mon occurrence to have some purple
eyed pelican drop down upon us with
a two-bit proposition to exchange for
our valuable space, and then because
we cannot see our way clear to bite
at his himsy bait, to raise up on his
artificial dignity and heap abuse upon
our head. Such things have gone al
most far enough, and on one of these
beautiful sunshiny days there will be
a dull tbud like a thousand of brick,
and the six-mill spirit of our two-bit
abuser will 'meander into the white
washed precincts of the eternal far
away. We do not desire to give to
the world another widow, and have
no longing to increase the crop of

not believed possible any human being
could withstand, shelterless, the cold
that prevailed the searching parties
gradually dwindled down to the dis
tracted father, who continued to tramp
the woods, but with no hope beyond
finding the bodies.
Then one day three weeks later,
when the father was on the point of
giving up his search in the belief that
his children had been carried away
and eaten by wolves, a hunter heard a
sound like q feeble moan which came
from a fir log. and OF investigation
found huddled together in a hollow OF
the ground under the log the two chill
dren who had been given up for dead.
They were unable to speak or move,

Linkoping it was found necessary to
amputate their legs at the knees.

In and Into.

Much confusion characterizes the
use of these two propositions. Stor-
month gives the simplest and best
rule concerning them which we have
come across. He says: "Into comes
after a verb denoting motion, and
in follows a verb denoting rest"
This gives the idea comprehensive
ly, but it must not be taken literal
ly. Thus it is entirely. proper to
say Gle fell in the street" The
person referred to may have been
walking or standing still when he
fell. He was, however, already in
the street, and therefore when he
fell he did not move into it. If,
however, he was in a building or
other structure facing the street and
he fell, landing in the street, it
would then be proper to say Gle
fell into the street..
In is frequently an adverb, and
in such cases it should be used after
a verb denoting motion. For ex-
ample, it is correct to say Gle came
in" Of one who had been asked to
enter a house. But if a proposition
were to be used in this connection
the phrase would be "He came into
the house"
Those who will commit to memo
ry the rule quoted will soon be sui
of their ground when they have oc-
casion to use in or into.

Great Improvements to Be Made
on K. G. Belt Road.
H. u. Nudge is President of the
Company.
NEW STYLE ENGINES.
Made on Designs Furnished by
John Player.
About 81, 100000 to Be Spent
in Buildings and Tracks.

Great Improvements are to be made on
the Kansas City Belt railway. of which
General Manager H. U. Nudge Of the San
ia Fe is the president.
Among other things there is being built
for service on that road one Of the heav-
lest locomotives ever constructed for yard
service and the designs for the locomotive
were drawn by John Player, consulting
superintendent of motive power of the
Santa F'e. The Baldwin locomotive works
have the contract for building the engine.
Other contemplated improvements will
involve the expenditure of 100000 at Kan
sas City within the next three months.
The money will be expended in round
houses, shops. switch. storage and transfer
tracks which win be located on a large
tract of land recently purchased by the
Belt line for that purpose.
The Belt line is owned jointly by three
lines The Santa Fe owns so per cent. the
St Louis and San Francisco 80 per cent,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St PAU
20 per cent.
The contemplated improvements viii be
made on land recently purchased by Inc
company for the purpose, including an r.
Southwest boulevard beginning where the
Belt tracks now cross the boulevard and
extending IN a southyyesterly direction 70
the Frisco tracks and north 70 the Bet
line tracks. Five miles Of switch, storage
and transfer tracks viii be built IN this
tract OF ABOUT 30 acres: SltiInately more
trac lIs Will be built until the total reaches
Is miles OF track. But it is not intended to
build more than five miles during the pres
ent year.
The Belt line now has two main tracks
from the Santa Fe junction, mile and a
half from the Union depot, to the Big Blue
junction near Sheffield. The improvements
contemplate the building of one mile of a
four track system to supplement the main
line tracks now in use.

there is quite an extensive article on the
new engine designed by John Player. The
engine is designed for transfer and push
