Discussing the British tendency to eat a banana before it's time, the British Medical Journal says: Before they are thoroughly natured they are apt to be insipid in flavor, and to cause dyspep- sia and other forms of intestinal dis turbance. They should not be eaten before the skin is blackened in places, or when there is any reluctance in the skin to separate from the pulp. House. keepers know how bananas will change in the course of single night from 8 manifestly sound condition to one in which the skin is blackened and the pulp soft and slightly discolored. Now, children infinitely prefer these last bananas to those that are apparently sounder, and it may well be that in this instance the natural inclination of the child covers more wisdom than the cau- tion of it's elders; in fact, experts say that the banana, like the medlar, can hardly be in too ripe a condition for eating.

DIRECTORS
MEETING AT CHICAGO THIS AFT
ERNOON TO HAVE BEARING
ON ENTERPRISE.
vey Expected to Open Vast and
Virgin Territory-Members of the
Board Closely Allied With Gould
System-RaiIroad Matters.

The meeting of the directors of the
proposed Colorado, Wyoming and Ida
no railway at Chicago this afternoon
is expected to have u considerable
bearing on the future of the enterprise.
Hon. Ora Haley of this city, a mem
Der Of the board, hoped to be present,
but was detained at home at the last
moment, but will be informed by his
associates Of the action of The board
and Is expected to be kept in close
touch with the enterprise from this
time forward.
The preliminary survey is progress
sing westward from the Laramie plain.
and the engineers are working toward
Boise. One of the members of the par
ty says it is the understanding in the
camp that the survey is for the pur-
pose TO building the line. and he laughs
at the idea that any other intention
prevails. He says there is a virgin
territory to be opened up, and he can
see no reason why the new corpora
ton should not open it as well as any
other. To his mind there is money
behind the scheme. and he looks for
the actual building of the line from
Denver to Laramie next season and
further west after that.
In some quarters George Gould is
said to be behind the scheme. 1t is
known that certain members of the
board of directors are strong Gould
men, holding annual Missouri Pacific
passes and having direct intercourse
with prominent officials of that great
corporation in Kansas. The fact that
the line is being surveyed through I'm
ion Pacific territory is taken into con-
s%ideration.
1t was learned today that the line
as surveyed about Fort Collins follow
ed earlier surveys, the party coming
across grade stakes and other evil
dences of former surveys on more than
one occasion. at one time having at
least two previous surveys under their
own. The road as mapped SO far will
have a gradient of 3 per cent, but this
can be corrected by changing the line
at different places and taking advan-
tage of a little longer course The en-
gineers have instructions to find a pos,
sible short course and are not figur-
ing very closely on grades, distance
being the prevailing factor.

Private" John Allen has a fund of
stories Illustrating the peculiar brand
of justice that used to be meted out
at Langtry, Texas, by the celebrated
Squire Roy bean.
According to Mr.. Allen, Squire Bean
one sat in judgment in the matter of
the killing at Langtry Of a Chinaman
by a local character named Jim Andcr-
N.
With great solemnity Bean listened
to the evidence offered, Of which no
small part was contributed by Ander,
son himself. Bean had at various
times during the proceeding consulted
a book before him. When he spoke,
it was somewhat as follows:
This here book, which is a Texas
law book, says that homicide is the
killing of human-male or female.
Furthermore, it appears from the book
that there's various sorts Of homicide
murder, manslaughter, plain homl-
eide. negligent homicide justifiable
homicide and praiseworthy homicide.
Then. ag'in, there three kinds of hui
mans-white men ,niggers and Next
cans 1t stands to reason that a China
man amt human. If a China
man was a human, a killing Of him
would. the court thinks, come under
the head Of praiseworthy homicide.
