NO DOUBLE TRACK.
City Railway Ties Up Kansas Ave
nue. Pavement.

Apparently the Topeka city railway is
trying to "crawfish" out of its agree
ment to build a double track on Kansas
avenue south of Tenth avenue, and the
attitude of the company puts the paw
ing petitions for that street in bad
shape. 1t may be necessary to have
entirely new petitions drawn up.
When the original petition was pre-
pared, it was on the basis of President
c. c. Bakers statement that the street
car company wanted a double track
down the avenue. So the petitions call
ed for pavement 80 feet wide from
Tenth to Thirteenth, and go feet wide
from Thirteenth to Euclid avenue. This
allowed space for a double car track,
as there should be on Kansas avenue.
But when the legislature knocked out
the state fair bill. the company seemed
to think that there would never be any
thing at the fair grounds worth hauling
people to, and they announced that they
didn't want a double track on Kansas
avenue.
1t would be a hardship on the tax
payers to pay for a wide street with
only a single car track. and the council
viii probably allow the width of the
pavement to be lessened, unless the
company agrees to put down the double
track. President Baker is now in New
York and has not replied to kilograms
sent him by Manager Patten. The
street railway is likely to want to lay
a double track on Kansas avenue before
long. 1t seems to be simply trying to
avoid paying for its share of the pave

good reasons indeed that would lead one
to berate ones friend to ones face
A real friend will stand firmly as such
IN time of misfortune. If all else seem
against him, a friend will not forsake
him, but defend, comfort, uphold ana
help him If possible. A friendship i'm
plies two persons; the sentiment OF
friendship must be mutual. Honesty
must be a basis for confidence. Without
trust there can be no true friendship
What one friend tells another in conh-
dence should be sacredly kept as con-
fidential and repeated to no one. Be
tween friends conversation is free ana
without making it a point of secrecy,
things are often said unsuited to be
spoken in general conversation with
others. One must have such a knOwi-
edge Of ones friend as to know what Is
suitable to repeat and what not so, and
keep the confidence just the same is If
told TO do so. Pythagoras says:
".Friendship-one soul in two bodies. -
There should be such perfect under
standing and trust.
Do not try to be friends with many
while you may be friendly to all
Friends should not be hastily chosen
Once you have chosen, be faithful and
do not let trifles come between. Be I'M
selfish. Think more of what is due to
your friend from you, than what you
wish from him. Be more ready to give
than to receive. Your first Thought
should be what you, yourself, can do, or
should be. Make yourself worthy
friends if you would have one.

MRS. M'CLINT0CK QUITS
Resigns Presidency of the Y. w.
C. A.

Mrs. J. c. MeClintock has resigned
from the presidency of the Young Wo
mans Christian association. She will be
succeeded by Mrs. c. J. Evans, who was
elected vice president of the association
last fall. It was reported that Mrs. Nc
Clintock's resignation was the result Of
an unDleasantness between herself ana
the other women associated in the di-
rection of the work, but this story seems
to be unfounded. Mrs. McClintock's adj
ministration of the affairs of the asso-
citation has been so successful that the
statement that harmony was lacking
seems improbable. She has been presi-
dent of the Young Woman's Christian
association for about four years.
Mrs. McCnntOcI1 said today that she had

elected president last fail under protest

Colonel Bryan denies that he ever

pesky reorGanizers get into the saddle
and squash the Kansas City platform
He thinks it very absurd for anybody
to Imagine that the recrganizers, other
wise the goldbug Democrats. can get a
majority in the convention. So he re-
fuses to consider any such contingency.
Nevertheless, the goldbugs must re-
member that when they did carry a con-

has done will always be right as he re
fuses to change a hair or give down an
inch. The reorganizers can therefore

in the next Democratic convention. it

Washington, March 1s.-Assistant ARM
strong had a conference with the president
today regarding the case of William PliTn-
ley to be assistant United States treasurer
at New York While the officials are en-
tirely reticent as to what viii be done in
the matter it is understood that infornla-
ton received by the government is soch
that it has been practically decided that
Mr.. Plimley viii not be commissioned.
The senate finance committee today held
a meeting to consider the nomination of
William Plimley to be assistant treasurer
at New York. No definite action was
%azen and before any determination is
reached Senator Aldrich will confer with
the president. It is expected that the con-
ference will take place this afternoon.
The senate finance committee has de-
eided to hold up for the present nominal
ton of George Sawter to be assistant APP
-prafser Of merchandise. AS the committee
Will not meet again during the present ses-
sion this action will insure failure Of con-
firmation for the present session. The re-
fusal of the committee to pass upon the
nomination was due to the fact that mem
bers did not consider Mr.. SaWter'S indorse-
mentS sufficient to warrant confirmation.

soTFNrIFIC FARmINa.

The value OF brains and education
when applied to farming is growing
more apparent year by year. Time was
when it was thought that anybody
could farm and the man who was fit for
nothing else was considered good mater
ial out of which to make farmer The
business was regarded as wholly be
meath the attention of the educated man
except as a pleasure or pastime. Illus
trative of the importance of scientific
knowledge in connection with the pro-
ftable tilling of the soil is the report of
the department of agriculture on the
experiment Of growing tobacco under
canvas in Connecticut
The department reports that last year
13 Connecticut farmers planted Al acres
OF tobacco, shaded with thin canvas or
cheese-cloth. stretched on supports in a
way to intercept the rays of the sun
The total expense was 1851 per acre. and
the average value of the crop was 81.
S72, leaving a profit of s715 an acre. The
tobacco brought an average price of
$50 pound and its cost baled and
ready for market was 5l5s cents a
pound. The variety planted was mostly
Sumatra. and it was used as wrappers
for cigars. The same kind, raised with
out artificial shade, brings only about 20
cents q pound The department of ag-
riculture thinks this is pretty profitable
