The Jersey Giant

And it CHANGED that on a summer
day Jersey "skeeter," firing of his
native land, started out to seek his
fortune. He travelled many weary
miles, until at last he came to place
called Michigan. where the shelters
gazed upon him with awe and admira-
tion because of his great size. He was
dubbed the Jersey Giant" and imme-
diately secured employment with a
bug and "skeeter" museum, which was
given in tent of gauze woven by
Spinnerette, the spider. He related
many strange tales upon his return.

It would be colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fe all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest 1t now would
provoke smile from men who know
the cost of such a project.
Yet II may happen some day. II 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 its restricted
sense, by the end Of 1905 the Santa Fe
will have more than 900 miles of dou-
BILE track in operation. Second tracks
are now being built as follows: To fin-
ish the gap between Chicago and JOLT

Mr.. Newman certainly had very
tough time with the grip, and 1t is no

ordinary efforts TO eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New

and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered
and had regular running-away spells.

hardly bear touch Oh that part of my
body / had great deal Of pain in the
region Of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. My kidneys
arhed SO at times that could hardly

Didn't you give up and go to bed ?"
he was asked.
No. simply wouldn't. My head
and my back ached dreadfully. but I
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
What did you do to get relief?'
First / tried doctor, but he did me
no good. Then I took all kinds of adj
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. As soon as 1 got them

THIS DOCTOR WAS OUT.
Incident In Night Practitioners Ex.
perience Told by Himself.


A prominent physician in Baltimore
recently perpetrated a witticism at his
own expense. 1t was late at night
The doctor had lost his night key; the
door was locked; he was cold from o
long ride. and the more he rang the
bell the more the suspicion grew in
his mind that someone had chloro
formed the entire household.
Finally, however. his sister was
aroused by long ring of the bell. Nat
urally she thought that there was some
one at the door who wished to see
the doctor, and that. as the doctor was
out, she would herself have to answer
the summons, else the caller would
keep her awake for long time. So
hastily throwing a loose gown over
her nightdress, she hurried to the
door
Opening the door the least bit, In
order not to present her dishabile to
an intruding eye, she shouted through

Scriptures In Peculiar way.
A certain and favorite junior ofhcer
In the United States navy had for
considerable time observed that the
admiral always removed his uniform
coat and donned one Of less preten-
sions when he read his Bible on Sun
day mornings. He often wondered
why the commander Of the flagship
should do SO strange thing. and SO
one day, when the good humor OF the
admiral permitted the great amount OF
freedom such question would re-
quire. he asked:
Admiral. will you tell me why you
always remove your uniform coat De-
fore you open your Bible for Sunday
mornings reading?"
The admiral lifted his eyes and
gravely stared the young officer In the
face. His smile was more beatifc
than fosbidding.
Lieutenant, | remove my uniform
coat before reading the Bible because

proper amount of respect and adora-
ton with the stripes OF an admiral
embracing the arms that support the
