 Over a great part of the route there would be more to fear from the predatory tribes than from natural obstacles. Tracing the new route from England there would be. first. the twenty miles across the Chan mel then rail through France and Spain. and. again a short journey from Gib- raItar to Tangier. where the new line would begin. Its course would lie along the northern borders of Morocco. thence by way of Algeria to Tunis and Tripoli, and onward to Carlo through the Libyan Desert and the great tracts of country over which the Khedive rules.

Animals That Weep.

Kansas City Journal
 There are many scientists and men who are accustomed to deal with ami mals who give authentic instances or having seen animals shed tears as a re- suit of strong emotion. Humboldt tells us that he had monkey which wept when it was seized with fear. Reng- ger says that he has often seen the eyes of small South American monkey i'll with tears when he was deprived ot some coveted object or made very much afraid of something Darwin cites a case of monkey from Borneo in a zool- ogical garden which was freuuently moved to tears when grieved or pit fed.
 Elephant also have been known tc show theIr grief In this way. During an elephant hunt in Ceylon one of the spectators relates that many of the elephants when bound showed no feel ing except grief and remained perfect ly motionless while the tears stream cd from their eyes. Female elephants are often affected in the same way when their young are taken tron them

Irish Courtesy,

An Irishman has oftentimes such particular regard for the feelings of a stranger that, rather than contradict him. he will appear to acquiesce in many things that he could not be ex- pected to believe. I said he will ap- pear to acquiesce. A tourist who was sailing upon Loche Erne once wished to test the alleged character of Irish- men for politeness. Now there was q regular squall on. and at a moment when the old boatman was engrossed and had all his energies bent to keep the little craft before the wind, thA inquisitive one. leaning over to the old boatman, shouted in his ear, Very little wind today. Very little in- deed.' was the reply-"but what there is of 1t Is mighty strong"

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 20-E. p.
Ripley, president of the ISanta Fe rail-
road, who passed through this city
this morning on his way to Chicago,
was asked for an expression on the
suits brought by the government
against the Santa Fe for giving re-
bates to the Hutchinson Salt company
Of Hutchinson, Kan.
1.-THE giving of rebates by the rail-
roads," said Mr.. Ripley, 'is common
thing, and the only excuse for 1t seems
to be that all the roads do 1t. l do not
care to say anything about what
amount of money the Santa Fe or any
other roads has given in this way"
President Ripley's assertion is in line
with that of former Vice President
Paul Morton, to whom President Roose-
welt gave a clean bill Of health.
Mr.. Ripley said he did not expect the
Belen cutoff would be completed with
in the year. He brought a glowing
message regarding crops along the line
of the Santa Fe and Of heavy traffic
for all western roads as result.

RISKS LIFE TO
VISIT HUSBAND
BRIDE OF A FEW WEEKS TAKES
DESPERATE CHANCES
LEAPS Is FEET TO GROUND
ls but Slightly Bruised by Fall and
Gains Few Minutes Conver-
satlon Through Prison
Bars

Mrs. Leo White risked her life and
came near losing it Saturday after
noon in an attempt to see her hus-
band, who is confined in an insane
cell at the county hospital.
She went to Keeper Norton early in
the afternoon and asked to be allowed
to see her husband, but was refused
permission by order Of Deputy Sheriff
Hubbard.
After pleading in vain with the keeper
the young woman turned away as II to
leave the hospital, but stopped by the
railing of the elevated walk leading
from the insane ward, twenty-five feet
from the door. Here she stood for a
few moment in plain view from the
window of her husbands cell on the
north side of the building.
When Mr.. Norton saw her wave a
handkerchief as if signaling her hus-
band, he stepped out of the building to
warn her not to attempt to communi-
cate with him.
Before he could reach her side the
woman placed her hands on the walk
railing and leaped lightly over 1t to the
ground fifteen feet below. The shock
was so severe that it stunned her for a
moment and then. much to the surprise
of the keeper, who thought the woman
had at least broken leg, Mrs White
leaped to her feet and ran to the win
dow OF her husbands cell, where he
stood with outstretched arms waiting
for her.
There was hurried whispered con-
versation between husband and wife be-
fore the deputy sheriff could lead the
woman away. She was taken into the
hospital office, where she was examined
by a physician. who announced that
she had been severely bruised by her
fall, although no bones were broken.
White was arrested few days on a
warrant charging him with uttering
worthless checks, but before he was
arraigned on this charge he was taken
from the city jail on warrant charg-
ing him with insanity, sworn out by his
~NN@ANA oSNSAoA AAlOA4lAlS DClOTt.
1t is said that White was working in
the office of his father up to the time
the warrant for insanity was issued.
when he suddenly disappeared for sew
eral months.
When he returned to Los Angeles a
few weeks ago he was married and
said that he had been in Mexico in his
absence. He said that he met his wife,
who is Denver girl. in little town in
Lower California and they were mar
ried by native priest.
When White was arrested a few DAYS
ago his young wife stayed by his side
until the bars of the city jail were
closed behind him. and showed her de-
votion to him again when she risked
her life at the county hospital to see
her husband
White is suffering from acute melan-
cholia and never smiles except when his
wife Is present.
