Tn. Passing of til. Hearth.

An elderly woman in Wisconsin, who
was q young wife in the young west, II
telling in q local newspaper q few OF
the things that the young wife OF the
older west does not have to do. And IN
telling Of this she recalls WILDLY hel
home as 1t was sixty years ago.
There were no wood, coal or gas ranges
in those DAYS, but there was fireplace
with a wide, deep hearth-and a chin
new that would draw, built large en-.
ouoh for the sweep to pass through.
The fireplace would take log four OF
FIVE feet long and a foot and q hall
through This was piled on andirons
and rs there were no matches in those
DAYS one of the greatest anexities OF the
careful housewife was to prevent the
fire from going out. II 1t did go out
she had to go to one OF the neignDors,
perhaps quarter of mile away, for
shovel full of live Goals.
One of the signs Of neatness In q
house keeper in those days, was the
way she kept the hearth cleaned, using
the broomand wing, and few OF her
many duties were to dip candles, put
down pork and beef by the barrel, make
sausage for the year, put down lard Dy
the Jar, preserved fruit by the gallon.
sppie sauce by the quantity, boiled
cider by the keg, to provide dried beef
and smoked ham, TO spin all the yarn
for the mems clothes, to weave it into
cloth, and to send it to the dyers to be
dyed, fulled and pressed.
The coming of the cook stove marked
the beginning Of q new epoch in the
lives Of our grandmothers. oh, ex-
claims this survivor. ''the coed cheer
the fireplsces brought to the children.
No corn was quite so good as the ears
roasted before tbs fire. No potatoes so
good as those roasted in the ashes in the
winter. No apples equal TO frozen ap-
pies, boiled; then we would melt maple
sugar and sugar off again on the snow +"
And she says in conclusion:
with the passing Of the fireplace has
passed the word 'freside and the word
hearth. It wss around the Preside We
gathered for family prayer, around the
dreside we gathered to read, to chat, to
visit. Gone with the firesids and the
hearth are most of my dear ones, with
whom I knelt every day.

ONE HUNDRED. MILLIONS
New Stock to Be Issued by Santa Fe
RaiIway-Money to Be Used
for Betterments

New York-The directors of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at a
meeting in this city formulated fl
nancial plan which is expected to meet
the necessities of the road for many
years. The plan is similar to that
adopted by the New York Central
about year ago, when the author
ized capital of that system was in
creased from $150,ooo,OoO to $780,
100000.
The Atchison will also make an in
crease of s250,O00,000, but the amount
of new stock recommended by the di-
rectors is about $9S,000,000, somewhat
less than that authorized by the Cen
trai. The directors called a special
meeting of the stockholders for Jan
uary 80 at Topeka to vote upon the
proposed increase.
The circular to stockholders will be
issued tomorrow or Friday. 1t will
be comprehensive in it's terms and the
resolution submitted for approval will
confer upon the directors authority to
issue any part of the stock of con-
vertible bonds with the stock as Sc
curity in their discretion.
About $25,0O0,000 of the stock, one
of the directors said or a like amount
of convertible bonds will be issued in
all probability early In February, but
whether bonds or stocks will not be
finally determined until that time.

No Steps Will Be Taken to Exclude
Japanese Laborers

Washington, d. C.-"There is abso-
lutely nothing in it," said Senator Cul-
lom, chairman of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations, on returning
from visit to the state department,
when asked what he knew about
proposed new treaty with Japan. Sec
retary Root and Viscount Aoki. the
Japanese ambassador, have fatty de-
MED that such treaty was incon-
temptation and high official of the
state department, in position to
know all that transpires In his Office,
reiterated the statement that nothing
Of the kind has ever been thought of.
Assistant Secretary Adee, who has
been credited with having been assign
ed the task of preparing such treaty,
said:
ut is all conjecture l know abso-
lutely nothing tending to confirm the
report of any such treaty being nego-
tiated."
Assistant Secretary Bacon made
statement on behalf of the president
that no steps of any kind had been
or will be instituted with a view to
the negotiation of a new treaty with
Japan for the exclusion of Japanese
laborers. The president, Mr. Bacon
said, asked that this information be
made public.

date of opening bids for the completion
of the construction of the Panama
