Unique Pass to a Politician.

When the late William f. White
was traffic manager Of the Santa Fe
railroad he received a letter from a
Kansas politician returning an annual
pass of the year before. For some
reason another pass had not been sent
to the politician, who sent the follow
ing verse with the expired pass:
ALAS, it is said no more I'll deadhead
My way DER the %glistening rail,
Unless Mr.. White will consider II
right
To send me a pass by the mail"
This communication pleased White
He took the expired pass and made ar
Endorsement across the face In red
ink, and then added his signature, a
complicated series Of scratches famil
lar TO every Santa Fe conductor. This
was the inscription:
THE conductors will pass this bundle
OF gas
From March to the middle Of Lent.
Like any deadhead without a red,
Let him ride to his hearts content
The pass was used by the politician
and was accepted unquestioningly by
conductors.

how TO KILL THE DANDEL1oN
A salina Man Says That. Al Applica
ton Of Gasoline Will Do 1t.

A Salina man has found q means
whereby dandelions may be be ex-
terminated very easily. He says
that oil that is necessary is . small
application>oi gasoline. He has found
that 1t is impossible to destroy the
pests BY digging them out Of the lawn
but claims that few drops ST gaso-
line placed on the plant will do the
business. He has one OF the hand
soonest lawns In Salina and has tried
the experiment with excellent results,
fuding that the few drops Of gasoline
placed on the plant will within q few
hours blacken At and completely kill
it from root to leaf. He says that 1t
is q very easy matter armed with a
can Of gasoline to annihilate the dan
delions ct this season Of the year.
The dandelion is a greater pest this
year than ever and is destroying many
Of the prettiest lawns in this city.
Many experiments have been made
to get rid Of the risky little plant but
the more IL was abused the better 1t
seemed to flourish. The Salina mans
plan is at least cheap and one which
anyone will have no trouble in follow.
