WHY WORK HAS STOPPED.

Various reasons are assigned for the
stoppage Of the greater part Of the
work on the Eastern Railway of New
Mexico, commonly called the Santa
Fe cutoff. The Santa Fe manage
ment denies that the step has any
thing to do with a combination with
or sale to the Rock Island. Onicials
assert. that owing to expenses much
heavier than usual caused by floods
and other accidental agencies, the
earnings OF the system have decreas-
ed to such an extent that no extra
work a be carried on II dividends
are to be paid and the stock saved
from depreciation.

however, there is another and more

are quick to read the signs OF the

WOMEN URGED TO WEAR SOCKS
Feminine Physicians Say Half-HOse
Are More Comfortable and Hy-
genie in Summer.

If you want to be cool and comfort
able, ladies, wear socks.
This is the edict issued by the mem
bers of the Women's Medical club at
their monthly meeting held the other
day at Chicago.
Socks, which have become an i'm
portant article of womens wearing APP
parel among the feminine members of
New York society were heartily in
dorsed by the women physicians. 1t is
claimed for the socks, or women's half
hose, that they are more hygienic, they
do not bind the knee and interfere with
the circulation. and. furthermore, they
are considered much cheaper than the
ordinary long hose worn by women.
DR.. Frances Dickinson declares the
fad is not new one in Chicago.
Il have worn socks regularly for Is
years. A pair of so cent mems socks
will outlast twice over a pair of wom-
ems hose at the same price" declared
DR.. Dickinson.
In addition to indorsing the sock for
summer wear, the physicians also voted

A MIND-READTNG DOG
Wonderful Collie That Barked Pres
ident Roosevelt's Age Is Dead
Reasoning Power of Canine Puzzle
10 Learned Men-Mas Entert"ne"
at white House and Received
Present from distress.

Bozzle H., the "mind-reading' collie
of Chicago, that barked President
Roosevelt's age, is dead. She passed
away the other day at the home OF her
owner, George B. Clason, and the whole
Clason household is In mourning.
Bozzie ii. has been voted the most
versatile dog in the world. Scientists
who have made her special study
statesmen and diplomats before whom
she has performed, united in singing her
praises, though the scientists were
forced to admit that they could not
make her acute faculties conform to any
of their theories regarding the mental
acumen of animals A professor OF Co
lumbia university spent a whole week
with Bozzle H. about a year ago, ana
was forced to admit that she had rea-
soning faculties and deductive power
and her apparent proclylties for mind
reading he was completely at loss TO
explain.
Bozzies most battling performance
from the point Of view Of the scientists
was that Of telling the ages Of visitors
to her masters home The visitor
would be told to think Of his age and
directly Bozzie would begin TO bark,
making a sound for each year the man
had lived. She was never known to be
at fault. Besides this she apparently
possessed a mathematical faculty of be-
ing able to do difficult sums in addition
subtraction and even, division without
hesitation and without making mis-
take If told to cross the street and
pick out the fifth tree from the other
end of the block she would count the
trees as she walked along, stopping and
putting her paws against the right tree.
Bozzie |. was considered wonder
fully intelligent animal, but her daugh-
ter, though living only to half the moth
er's age, far surpassed her in accom-
plishments.
Bozzie II. was probably the only trick
dog that was ever entertained in the
white house, certainly the only canine
that ever was allowed to guess" If
guessing it may be called, the presi-
dents age. Mr.. and Mrs. Clason went |
to visit the president last year, taking
the wonderful collie with them, and
Bozzie on her first presentation to the
chief executive told him his age to his
face and then told Mrs. Roosevelt how
old she was. The president and his
family were delighted, and diplomats
were invited to meet Bozzie. When the
Clasons returned home Mr.. Clason re-
,eived letter from President Roose-
welt thanking him for the treat of see
ing Bozzie perform, saying that the col
lie was the most wonderful and note
worthy dog he had ever seen" Mrs.
Roosevelt sent Bozzie collar on which
was engraved: "Bozzie H., from Mrs
Theodore Roosevelt"

Impressive Services.

The ordination services of the new
ly elected deacons at the First Bap-
fist Church last Sunday morning were
very impressive and instructive. Rev.
A. " Rowe, of Winona, and Rev. W.
M. Burr, of Greenwood, former pas
tor of this church, assisted the pres
ent pastor, Rev. Mr.. Borum, in the
ordination. Mr.. Burr addressed the
deacons on the duty Of deacons to the
church. and Mr.. Rowe followed in II
short talk on the duty of the deacons
to the pastor. Both talks of these di'
vine men were full of wisdom and in
struction, and if their advice is fol-
lowed the First Baptist Church Of
this city will increase in member
ship and the church will be Of UNI
told blessing to the city. After a few
remarks by Mr.. Borum the laying on
of hands was done, and Messrs Stov-
all, Todd and Birmingham were ac-
cordingly consecrated as deacons.
Mr.. Borum has been pastor Of this
church bat u short tune, but his inhu
ence in church work is already no.
ticeable, He is one of the most elo-
quent and Jealous pastors in the city
His sermons are helpful even to those
who are not members and even not
Christians. Broad minded, close
student of affairs and the Bible he is
fully able to point out the way of ev-
erlasting life with surety. The church
and the city is very fortunate indeed
to have such pastor and citizen.
At the S:15 service at night, Mr.. |
Ray Toombs, who was a delegate to
the Baptist Young Peoples Union
Convention recently held at Atlanta,
Ca, addressed the church ON the
work accomplished at the convention.
Mr.. Toombs is young man, but he
addressed his audience with the con-
idence of an old campaigner, and his
ak was listened to very attentively.
