Railroad Sky Clearing.

A special from Austin TO the
Dallas News of last Friday, un-
folding to some extent the plans
of the Santa Fe. should enable
our readers to get better grasp
on the pending Tallmadge oper-
atoms. 1t reads as follows:
The charter of the Gulf, San
Ia Fe and Northwestern Rail-
way Company, which is to build
and operate the new cutoff rail
road of the Santa Fe to connect
its Gulf system with its over
land line, was filed today in the
Secretary of States office. after
it had been approved by the At
tornev General. The total
mileage of the proposed new
line in Texas is AS miles. The
charter provides for building
the road from Brentwood, on
the Gulf division. TO TeXico, on
the Texas and New Mexico Dor,
der. a distance of $50 miles, and
for a branch line to be built
from a point in Lubbock County
to a connection with the PecOs
Valley division of the Santa Fe,
near Canyon or Amarillo, dis
lance OF about 125 miles. The
Brownwood -Texico line will
pass through the counties of
Brown, Coleman, Callahan,
Taylor, Jones, Fisher, Stone
wall, Kent, Dickens, Crosby
Floyd, Hale, Lamb, Bailey and
Palmer, and the branch line
will traverse the counties of
Randall, Swlsher, Hale and Lub-
book. The company has cap
ital stock of s475, 00G and its
principal offices are at Amarillo.
The charter provides that the
company shall have power and
authority TO enter into a track
age contract with the PecOs and
Northern Texas Railroad Com
pany TO run its trains between
Canyon and Amarillo.
The mem BEES of the board OF
directors are E p. Ripley Of
Chicago, president of the Santa
Fe; j. E. Hurley Of Topeka,
Kan, Avery Turner, Don a.
Sweet, J. c. Paul, A. L. Conrad
and S. H. Madden of Amarillo,
Texas.
The road will I'LL in the gap
between the Santa Fe in New
Mexico and the Gulf division, as
above stated, forming new
transcontinental line between
Galveston and the Pacific Coast.
1t will be about the same dis
lance between Galveston and
the Pacific Coast by this new
route and the existing Southern
Pacific line. 1t will be a new
and direct line between Calves
ton and South Texas points and
the Panhandle country. The
survey for the proposed cutoff
road has been made and the con
struction work will be com
menced at an early date.
Since the above was put in
print il has been "authoratively
denied" from New York that
the Santa Fe has anything to do
with it. Quite so, quite so, OF
course the Santa Fee has nothing
TO do with tits a new road
entirely, so it Is, with just the
Santa Fe people as managers.

There are some folks who base their
ideas Of the prosperity of the country
OH the fact that there is more money
millions and millions more-in the saw
ing banks. That is prosperity all right,
and frugality and care for the future.
and the old age that surely comes. that
is fine to witness. But there Is another
kind Of prosperity. The average Amer
lean is better to his family and him
self than ever before. He has put some
money into the bank, and he is prob
ably planning for a home Of his own
instead of remaining renter And he
has purchased more comforts and good
things to eat than ever before. He
has put some of his surplus into good
clothing, not only for himself, but for
the wife and children. In fourteen
years the population has increased 81
per cent. The increase in imports of
tropical and subtropical products.
which are used by manufacturers or
go to supply the, people with food and
drink, show a much greater increase
than the population increase. More
silk is Worn in America than ever be-
fore. In 1880 the consumption of cot
fee was eight pounds per head. Now it
is twelve pounds. There is a large
per capita increase in the consumption
of sugar. teas and spices. The life Of
the average American by birth or adop-
ton is happier: contains more comforts
and privileges, than that of any other
nationality. The result Of better feed
Ing and clothing and housing must
show In the development Of the race.

Advertising really pays If you go
about it right.
There are few essential points that
are important in deciding upon how to
go about it right.
First: Never advertise an article
the people don't want.
Second: Never advertise an article
that hasn't the merit to give satisfac-
ton and to command the friendship
and enthusiasm of every purchaser.
Third: Find out just what class of
people will buy your goods. Don't
try to sell agricultural implements to
bank clerks, adding machines to ditch
diggers or books on theology to race
track devotees.
Fourth: Try to approximate the to-
tai sales possible in your line, and then
adjust your advertising to get the full
benefit.
Fifth: Carefully select your media
to reach as many as possible Of the
very people you expect to buy your
goods.
Sixth: Carefully prepare your ads
so as to attract and interest the class
you aim to appeal to.
Seventh: Carefully arrange your
campaign so as to secure the maxi
mum Of publicity and effectiveness,
with the minimum of expense. There's
no use in buying half pages that won't
pay when you could make hit with a
series of 10-inch ads.
Eighth: Adjust your business to Sc
cure and retain the results of the ad-
vertising
Ninth: Make your advertising a con
tinuous performance. A flash in the
pan may do for a political campaign,
but it doesn't work in selling goods
year after year.
No one has any title to claim to
know all about a business that de-
ponds so entirely on human nature in
all its phases, but we think no one ia
miliar with successful advertising will
dispute these nine articles Of faith of
the modern advertiSer.-One Of e. II.
Pettingall's advertising talks.

NON-BREAKABLE BAT.

Wound with Wire Or Some Other
Strengthening Material.
The baseball fan, or, more correct.
ly speaking, the baseball player, will
hail the advent Of the non-breakable
bat that has made it's appearance. ThiA
most desirable and hitherto unknown
attribute Of a baseball bat is attained
by cutting a spiral groove in the wood
and inserting therein, flush with the
surface Of the bat, some strengthen
ing material, such as steel wire or
steel tape or sinew. The spiral Is made
continuous from a point just above
the handle, so as not to interfere with
a good, comfortable grip, to point
just below where the ball ordinarily

The decrease in the visible supply Of
farm labor is worth more than passing
notice now that Eastern States have
added their complaint to the advertise
ment of Kansas and Louisiana for men
who are willing to work with their
hands. The one consideration not
touched upon is most necessary, that
Of remuneration. Therein lies the solu-
ton, in part at least, Of the problem.
When the farmer in Kansas or any
other State can afford to employ la
borer throughout the year at wages
that will meet the competition Of the
city there will be no reason for him to
complain of a scarcity of men. The
country affords many advantages even
to the city-bred man, but he cannot af-
ford to live without some assurance of
steady employment. While he may
have the necessaries of life he has
been accustomed to something more
and the country must provide them.
Perhaps It would be better for the
farmer to keep his son at home rather
than allow him to seek the city, where
he often finds employment no better
than he had on his fathers form. 1t
has been demonstrated that the farm
is good place for the boy, and equally
good for the man, while the constant
extension Of the comforts and luxurles
to the farm home greatly increases the
opportunities for advancement over
those Of even few years ago. A thor
ough education on this subject, COM
bned with a knowledge Of what the
city has to offer the young man Of to-
day, might have a healthy influence in
solving the labor question so far as the
general needs Of the ordinary farmer
are concerned.

They Did Not Have To.

A family who had struggled the best
part Of a lifetime in poverty stricken
portion Of the city suddenly came into
the possession Of small income. with
the prospect in a few years Of some
thing more. Their long-crushed aspi-
rations revived, and the women Of the
family especially began to assume va
rious airs and artifcialities.
They moved to q little place In the
country, and tried nightly to impress
their neighbors with their Importance.
They talked constantly of what "peo-
pie in our position" should and should
not do.
Some of their town acquaintance
came out to visit them during the sum-
mer, and one of the younger members
Of the family, little girl of Z or s,
was showing them about the place.
What nice chickens!" exclaimed
one of the guests when they reached
the poultry yard. "They lay steadily,
too, suppose|'
YES" returned the youthful hos
tess, who really knew nothing at all
about it, that is, they could. of course,
but in our position they-they don't
have to-"

ANIMALS SHOW NO REASON.
All Their Acts Result of Instinct, Says
Writer.

All Their Acts Result of Instinct, Says
Writer.
When a bird selects a site for its
nest it seems on first view as if 1t must
actually think, reflect, compare, as you
and l do when we decide where to
place our house. I saw q little chip
ping sparrow trying to decide between
two raspberry bushes, says a writer in
Outing. She kept going from one to
the other, peering inspecting and ap-
parently weighing the advantages of
each. I saw robin in the woodbine
on the side Of the house trying. to de
eide which particular place was the
best site for her nest. She hoped to
this tangle of shoots and sat down.
then to that she turned around, she
readjusted herself, she looked about,
she worked her feet beneath her. She
was slow in making up her mind.
Did she make up her mind? Did she
think, compare, weigh? | do not be-
ileve it. When she found the right
conditions she no doubt felt pleasure
and satisfaction, and that settled the

was met and satisfied by an outward
material condition. In the same way
the hermit crab goes from shell to shell
upon the beach, seeking one to its lik-
Ing. Sometimes two crabs fall to fight
ing over a shell that each wants. Gan
we believe that the hermit crab thinks
and reasons? 1t selects the suitable
shell instinctively, and not by an indi-
vidual act of judgment. Instinct is
not always inerrant, though it makes
fewer mistakes than reason does.
The red squirrel usually knows how
to come at the meat in the butternut
with the least gnawing, but now and
then he makes mistake and strikes
the edge Of the kernel, instead Of the
fat side. The cliff swallow will stick
it's mud nest under the caves Of barn
where the boards are planed so smooth
that the nest sooner or later is bound
to fall. 1t seems to have no Judgment
in the matter. It's ancestors built upon
the face of high cliffs, where the mud
adhered more firmly.

as has been spent upon similar build
ings elsewhere; but, in Mr.. Browns
opinion, the artistic effect Of the struc-
ture Is unsurpassed.
The predominating feature Of the
building is the massive marble dome,
the largest in the United States. I'm
til its completion the dome of the
Rhode Island State House at Provi-
dence held the distinction of being the
greatest. The dome Of the capitol at
Washington Is very much larger, but
that Is made of cast iron, painted
white. The domes of st. Peters OF
Rome and st. Paurs of London. like,
wise, are larger, but neither Of them
is constructed of marble.
The interior fnishings of the build
ing are magnificent. Marbles from al
most every well-known quarry in the
world were imported for use in the
grand halls and legislative rooms and
beautifully carved woods for the ex-
ecutive Offices.
To see such evidences Of art and Gull
ture in a country that, but short while
ago, was considered a barbarous from
tier, is the most satisfying thing that
can happen to man who has faith in
the great destiny Of the United States
as the leader Of natlons.-C. T. Greene,

Majestic Theater in New York, was
walking along Broadway with a theat-
rical friend, when the latter's atten-
ton was attracted by a fine meer-
schaum pipe in a show window. After
hdmiring it for time, the actor sug-
gested that they go inside and ask the
price.
How much for that carved pipe In

The happiest man in the world is the
common, everyday chap who makes
his own living, pays his bills and has
a little money as he goes along, but
who doesn't strive to get a corner on
the local output and is neither a slave
to ambition nor society. He loves his
God and fellow men, thinks there is
no place like home" the haven of
rest; prefers the company Of his wife
and children to that Of any one else,
never has to sit up at night to poul-
tce his conscience, believes in the doc
trine Of live and let live and when he
encounters one of the needy he doesn't
etutter over his pocketbook. The plain
man is happy because he Is satisfied
and doesn't spend the best part of life
yearnlng for something four sizes too
large for him.

Or, at least, those who endeavor to ex-

IN the necessity of daily turning the
eggs, a manipulation which the faith

ago man, at the expense Of consider
able complication, proposes to build

idea, so that the eggs are in conhnu-
