The Tariff on Art.

Every artist of any station in Am
erica resents this tariff barbarism.
we happened to receive no great in
heritance in artistic beauty from the
genius OF TIE past, and our statesmen
OF a more demagogic period increased
this disadvantage by penalizing and
discouraging the import of what our
citizens we're able and willing to buy
for us abroad.
The tax on paintings is felt mainly
by our public galleries, where priv
ate collections nearly always ulti-
mately find their places. In 1894,
when art was taxed, the works i'm
ported were valued at $1,518,68S.G3.
The next year, when they were ad'
mitted free, the total was $4,o58,-
482.88, and over five millions in 1886,
IN 1898, under the tariff of 20 per
cent, the amount fell to $2,124,77S.
Paintings are admitted free into al
most all European countries. Spain
charges 10 cents per painting and
Switzerland 40 cents. Canada makes
free works by artists of recognized
merit. We, who have everything to
gain Just now in art possessions from
the desire of our men of wealth to
put some OF their money into pic
lures possess a statute that acts
against us and for the benefit Of the
countries in which the works Of ari
now are.-Collier's Weekly.

THE LITTLE WIDOW

bed with fever and nervous prostration
for three long months after the birth
Of my second boy. We were in despair
until the little widows advice brought
relief.
At liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that
was able to leave my bed and enjoy my
three good meals a day. In two months
my weight increased from ninety-f1ve
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and / felt ready for anything.
My neigbbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more so when
they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had
brought the change.
"My four-year-old boy had eczema,
very bad, last spring and lost his APP
petite entirely, which made him cross
and peevish. 1 put him on diet of
Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once.
He improved from the beginning, the

A GHosTLY ENGINEER.
Who Ran a Phantom Engine in the

At q recent gathering of railroad men
in this city several picturesque charac-

throttle on western roads in the early
days of railroading.

tesy of an engineer - said a member of
the party Il was riding on an engine
from Walla Walla Wash. for Yakima
in the same state, over the Northern
Pacific railroad. The engineer was re-
lating 2 story. and had just come to the
climax when he suddenly grasped the
throttle and in a moment had thrown
her Over'-that is, reversed the engine.
The air brakes were applied, and the
train brought to a standstill within a
few feet of the place where an engineer
named Twitchell-ThOrpe Twitchell-
met his death two years previous to the

THE passengers had become curious
a. to what had caused the stoppage of
the train. and all sorts of questions
were asked the trainmen, but the en-
gineer made an excuse that some of the
machinery was loose. and in a few mo-
ments the train was speeding along on
to her destination.
What made you stop back there?'
l inquired. I heard your

engineer pointing ahead and saying ex-
citedly:

giDeer. It's what I saw back up the
gorge-Thorpe TwitchelFs engine No.
So. There is no danger of a collision,
for the man who is running that engine
ahead Of us can run it faster backward
than I can run this forward. Have I

engineer on the road knows that engine.
and he's always watching for its APP

THE engine ahead Of US was run

in advance for several miles. and then,
for a moment. we saw a figure on the
pilot Then the engine rounded a curve
and we did not see it again.
We ran by a little statioB and at
the next. when the operator warned the
engineer to keep Well back from a wild
engine that was ahead the latter said
nothing-he was not afraid Of a col
lision.
In order to satisfy my mind on the
matter at the next station 7 sent a tele-
asking him if No. 80 was in. I received
a reply stating that No. SO had just

RAPID DEVELOPMENT.

Guthrie, Okla. July 2S.-The Santa
Fe is easily taking the lead in rail-
road building in Oklahoma at the
present time. In addition to the three
lines provided for in the Oklahoma
charter, issued this week under the
name of the Western Oklahoma rail-
way company. three other Santa Fe
propositions of especial interest to
Oklahoma are now under way
The final survey has been completed
for the cutoff between Englewood
Kas., and Ration. n. M, distance Of
over 200 miles, which is expected to
shorten the Santa Fe's line to the
coast very materially. The line will
traverse practically the entire length
of Beaver county, east and west, cross
ing the line into New Mexico near
Kenton. A line from some point in
Woodward county to connect the Pan
handle line of the Santa Fe with the
new cutoff is also talked OF.
The laying of steel on the Santa Fe
extension from Davis, I. T., east to
Sulphur Springs, began during the
week, and Chief Engineer ]. L. Zach
ley gives it as his opinion that the
line will be completed by August /.
It is thought that the ultimate eastern
terminus of the line will be either
McAlister or Coalgate.
It is also announced that work will
be begun at once on the extension of
the Denver, Enid & Gulf, recently pur-
chased by the Santa Fe, north to a
connection with the main line of the
Santa Fe at Dodge City. A Kansas
charter was recently taken out for the
building of this line, with S3.OOO.OO
capital stock. The Denver. Enid &
Gulf now runs from Guthrie on the
Gulf line of the Santa F'e northwest
to Kiowa. Kas.. and the building of
the Dodge City extension will give it
a short line from Oklahoma points
to Colorado and the west
The three lines provided for in the
new charter are: From Lindsay I. T,
northwest through the Chickasaw ma
ton, Caddo, Blaine, Custer, Dewey
and woodward counties. to Allston, on
the Panhandle line, 1852 miles: from
Oklahoma City northwest through
Oklahoma, Canadian. Blaine and
Dewey counties. to a connection with
line No. 1, 105 miles; from Guthrie
west, through Logan. Kingfisher and
Blaine counties to a junction with No.
2 81 miles.
