Senator Depew is telling with gusto
OF a young woman in Kansas City

her family, which originally came
from the East, she encountered Ger

without in the least being conscious
of the humor of the situation.

TrackIess Trolley.

The ''trackless trolley" is the very
latest European invention. The New
York Globe describes this new space
annihilator as ga cross between an
electric railway and an automobile.
Like the former, it draws an impelling
force from an overhead wire; like the
latter, mechanically driven, it rolls
along over an ordinary highway Its
advantages are that it avoids the cost
Of rails and special roadbed, and for
this reason, it is claimed, it will be
able to penetrate to remote hamlets
whose traffic is not sufficient to at
tract either the steam or the electric
railway. Between Dresden and Klot-
sche line of trolley omnibuses is
now in operation. The construction
cost, including poles, wires double be-
cause there is no rail return) and nee
essary road improvement, was about
$13.500. or only about one-sixth of
what an electric railway of the usual
type would cost"

DoubIe.TrackInq the Santa Fe,

1t would be a colossal undertaking tc
double track the Santa Fe all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest it now would
provoke smile from men who know
the cost of such project.
Yet it may happen some day, If bust
ness continues to increase as rapidly
as in the last decade.
This plan of two tracks from the
Great Lakes to Pacific Ocean does not
necessarily imply that the tracks will
be laid side by side. In many cases
cut-offs will be used, thus saving in
mileage as well as train operation.
Using the term in it's restricted
sense, by the end of 1905 the Santa Fe
will have more than 300 miles of dou-
BILE track in operation. Second tracks
are now being built as follows: To fin
lsh the gap between Chicago and Joli-
ct; between several points in Missouri,
aggregating 40 miles; to complete the
Emporia cutoff; east, west and south
Of Newton, in Kansas, and on both
sides Of Ration Mountain, in Colorado
and New Mexico.

Harry Daggett sat gazing with un-

seen her, her brown eyes. half-laugh-
ing, half-serious. peeping from meath
the great, fiimsy garden hat. She had
flashed him smile that had set his
heart to wildly beating and blushing
for HIS self-conscious awkwardness,
he had stumbled past.
He saw her often after that, and
ney were introduced. One evening
she playfully tossed him a rose as he
rassed the gate. With one stride he
reached her, seized her hands and
pressing them to his heart. held them
there. while he poured out his hopes.
ambitions and his love. She did not
encourage him, neither did she dis
courage him, and he left her. alter
rately hoping and fearing.
1t was only a short time after this
that Jack stayton came home from
college; Jack was handsome, fascinat-
ing, worldly. Harry was none Of these.
II was at a ball that Mildred and
Stayton met; Harry was present at
tie meeting and went home with a
leavy heart. Tho wedding was an.

Obviously the union was a happy
one and, generous to a fault, Harry
harbored no III feeling; he sincerely
rejoiced in Mildreds happiness. But
the old love was smothered-not dead,
and he would have given the best Of
his years Of his life had Mildred never
set eyes on Stayton's handsome face.
They were working side by side
now, he and Jack. rivals in work, as
they had been In love. What was de-
hcient in Daggett's appearance was
more than made up for in his ability,
and he stood well up In the line OF
promotion.
Mrs. Stayton came often to the bank

walked home in the cool of the even

frequent OF late, and Daggett, when
he chanced to meet her, noticed that
the fair brow was drawn, and that
the lips, and not the eyes smiled when
she spoke. Had he taken serious no
tice OF Stayton he would have noted
the change there also. and read the
whole story in the marks Of dissipa-

PLAN TO RAISE INLAND SEA.
Level Of Azov in Russia May Be Ele-
waited by a Dam.

VGt~A ~ 2 DaAAts
A French engineer has advanced the
suggestion of permitting the Atlantic
ocean, by means of a canal, to flow into
the Sahara district and thereby
change that desert country into a
garden land. A great Russian en-
gineering project has not for its oh
ject the creation of a new sea. like
that dreamed Of by the French, but
To improve an old one. Their sea Of
Azov. lying back of the Crimea, is a
body of water 220 miles in length by
eighty in width, opening into the Black
sea.
The Azov sea would better serve
the purposes Of trade we're it not so
extremely shallow. No oeean-going
steamer can enter it. Even small
craft have difficulty in navigating it..
Consequently, the Russian government
proposes to bring trade to the shores
Of the Azov by means of dam built
arross the strait by which it com
rlunicates with the Black sea, and to
let the rivers emptying into the shall
low body of water fill it to depth
that shall make it navigable for large
steamers.
1t is calculated that a heavy dam
about two miles long, with great
lock capable of taking in ocean steam
ers. would accomplish the desired re-
suit. Where the shores of the sea
are high naturally there would be no
difficulty when the waters rose, but
where the shores are low artificial
shores would be necessary. This
would, indeed. be a gigantic under
taking, but it is said that the Rus
sian government has been earnestly
considering the scheme.
