NIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.
How the Passenger Agent Lost
HIS Lid"

Three or four of us were sitting In
the smoking compartment of our Gin
clnlati train one night out of Chicago
when q ponderous fellow, weight about
25O, entered" said Harry j. Rhein, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Big Four
road. With me was G. c. Clarke, one
of our travelling passenger agents. and
as we were not paying fare we crowded
over in one corner to allow the new
conner a seat.
1t was a .companlonable gathering
and we talked until late hour Clarke
and the heavyweight became friendly,
Finally our agent became sleepy and
sigrihed his intention OF connecting
with an upper berth. He got up ana
began to look for his hat The lid
was new Derby costing IS, and he
could not find II. He searched the
racks, then his berth and back again
to the smoker. but no hat.
When he made known his loss TO
the men In the smoking compartment
all began TO look for the lost member
of Clarkes makeup. One by one they
got up 10 look where they had been
sitting. finally the 250-pound gentle
man arose and under him was Clarke's
ha;,
Our agent made as loud a holier as
was advisable under the circumstances,
but the big fellow only smiled
oh, IT might have been worse said
the heavyweight.
Night have been worse?' gasped
Clarke; I don't see how in n IL could
have been worse
Well 1t might have been my hat

RAILROAD BUILDING
FOR SIX MONTHS
Construction Progressing on
More Extensive Scale Than
for Many Years.
TOTAL TRACK LAID
AMOUNTS TO 2298 MILES
Work in the Western States
Ahead of That in Other
Sections.

Railway building in the United
States Is progressing on more ex-
tensive scale than for many years past.
and the mileage OF track laid on new
lines during the first half of the year
is greater than that of any similar
period for the past fifteen years. with
the exception OF 1902, when 2314 miles
OF track were completed from January
/ to juno 80 The track laid during
the first six months of 1906 aggregates
229S miles. according to the returns
in hand. and the indications are that
the new mileage for the entire year
Will exceed that for 1902 and 1908.
when 1854 miles and 5TS6 miles, re-
spectively, were completed
In its issue of March % last the
Railway Age published n summary
showing that over $4,000 miles of new
railroad were under construction, and
since that time contracts for many
hundred miles additional have been
awarded. Construction is being pushed
in all sections of the country, but the
preliminary work OF surveying and
grading has taken up good portion
of the first six months of the year
particularly in the North and North
wcst-and the tracklaying stage has
not yet been reached on many Of the
most important extensions. On other
lines slow progress is being made In
the work OF putting down the track,
owing to the difficulty OF securing rails.
The steel mills are overcrowded with
orders. and the delay in making deliv-
cries Is obstructing the work in various
localities. Official reports indicate that
the grading on many new lines Is COM
pleted far ahead of the tracklayers.
but this work also Is being retarded,
owing to the trouble of securing labor.

Although there are several eXten-
| sions under construction In the New
| England States. no track has yet been
laid in that section of the country, and
| but 10 miles OF new line have been
completed in the Middle States. which
include New York, New Jersey. Penn
sylvania, Delaware and Maryland. In
other groups of States the track laid Is
as follows: Central Northern States.
152 miles; South Atlantic States 254
miles; Gulf and Mississippi Valley
States. 332 miles; Southwestern States.
500 miles; Northwestern States. 352
miles; Pacific States, 497 miles.
In the States south OF the Ohio
river and east of the Mississippi the
new mileage aggregates 447 miles. and
In the States west OF the Mississippi
river 1891 miles Texas shows a larger

is second with 227 miles. Wyoming
third with 152 miles. and Louisiana
fourth with 14S miles, The only other
States showing over 100 miles each
are Mississippi, with 10 miles, and
California, with los miles.
In the North and Northwest track
laying is just being started on many
lines and there will be rapid In
crease in new mileage for the next
six months. For instance, in North
Dakota. where but IL miles OF track
are reported for the first six months,
over 400 miles are being built by the
Great Northern and the 500 Line.
Grading is we'll advanced on much OF
this mileage and tracklaying on sew
eral extensions Will begin in July.
In South Dakota the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis is building 230 miles, the
Chicago & Northwestern 191 miles, and
the Chicago. Milwaukee & ST Paul
over 400 miles, making approximately
$50 miles under construction in this
State. Tracklaying is already well
under way on the Northwestern oxten-
sion from Pierre to Rapid City and
on the ST. Paul extension from Cham
berlain to Rapid City, and the Mime
apolis & st. Louis expects to start
tracklaying about July 15 All OF
these extensions are to be completed
this year, as we'll as a portion OF the
st. Paul's extension from Evarts west
to the Pacific coast, over 200 miles OF
which are located in South Dakota.

In Nebraska the 103-mile line from
Sioux City TO Ashland to connect the
Great Northern and Burlington, on
which one-half the track was laid In
1905. has been completed. and the
Union Pacific has laid 90 miles of
track on the extension from Hershey
to Northport, leaving 81 miles to lay
TO reach the latter point. The Union
Pacific Is building two other extensions
in Nebraska aggregating 33 miles and
the Chicago. ST Paul. Minneapolis
Omaha Will complete a fifteen-mile
branch in this State before the close
of the year.

LOST FIFTEEN HATS CROSSING COUNTRY Experiences of Yankee Boy on
 Long Trip
L0NGED FOR NEW ENGLAND
Rode Mostly on Brake Beams and His Clothes Needed Pressing When He Reached His Destina-
 tion. New London.

New London, Conn, Saturday.-Fif- teen hats and s1 in money is the total cost of transeontinentaI journey just com pleted by John F. Watrous, an 1s-yearold New London boy, who landed here last week, John took four months to make the trip, which was so zigzag as to give him fine opportunities of seeing the coun- try. Although his entire car fare for the journey of thousands of miles amounted to sl with 25 cents in tips to brakemen, John didn't travel on pass, but rode most of the way on the cross bars of trucks of freight trains.
 The New London boy, with his family, went west last January. After living in Los Angeles, Cal, for few months John began to pine for New England again. and finally told his family one day that it was all off he was going back to New London If he had to walk. They didn't object to his trying it, but expected to see him turn back before he had gotten over the Rockies. John, however. had headed for home and the greatest city in the United States as he reckoned New Lon don, and not even being dumped off oc- casionally dampened his enthusiasm to get back to Connecticut again.
 The greatest regret that the boy has about the trip is the loss of fifteen hats that he had to buy on his journey home. Despite every precaution he would occa- sionally lose his headgear, and there was nothing to do but to replace 1t from time to time
 When young Watrous left Los Angeles for his trip east his possessions consisted of suit of clothes and s170 in cash. By jumping freights' he managed to reach Reno, New, where he made his first stop. The s1.70 had been pretty well drained for meals en route and John thought the Ne vada town was a good one to Vlslt He started at once to work on a cattle ranch there. and after two weeks had enough money ahead to start off again on his sight seeing tour.

born and bred in the bush. The na- lives of the mountains in the Zout- pansberg district are worse than use less in the bush of the low country, and the Basuto police sometimes lose themselves in inc Kalihari Not long ago Basuto was lost pursuing a wounded wildebeest and was found few days afterward with his head knawed off by the jackals.
 l can imagine no more awful fate than to be lost in the bush. In the open country, OF the great plains, and under Gods clear sky hope and reso- lution would be loath to desert one. But here "leaden-eyed despair would quickly come. A man would have to be of stubborn stuff indeed who would not be bowed down by the awful sense of impenatrableness and hopelessness with which this country fills the mind.
 To one born and bred in an open land it is the feeling of the neyerend- ingness of the bush that appalls, the feeling, too, that mans wits are here of no avail. that water may be within few yards-perhaps the only water for many miles-and yet there be no mark to guide one to it. The water lessness, the lonely silence of the country, the stunted, gnarled branches of the eternal thorn bush, always op- pressed my imagination with the same thought-that surely this was a land on which Gods curse had suddenly de- seconded, turning it perhaps from a land growing and full of promise into this hopelss aud useless waste.

a Rough Rider in Cuba, who in 1899 was the weather pilot for Kentucky and these parts, and who in the spring months of 1906 started out with Walter Welman to look around in an airship and discover the North Pole? Can 1t be that he is now engaged in the frisky and risky pastime of going a-racng in balloon and more over. winning the prize? The mere name. as mentioned in the foregoing, is the only clew the dispatches have given, but 1t is dollars to sawdust that it is the same Maj, II. H. Hersey of "ours.' He was in Paris when last heard from. Whoever would have supposed when he gave up the meteorological helm i'll Louisville, that in two years or thereabouts he would he cruising in the atmosphere from Paris to Scarborough amid the plaudlts of num- erous spectators and having his name cabled to all corners of the globe?
 It is to be hoped that the doughty MaJor will not be reckless as he Hits over the aerial bouevards in a four-c cylinder 30-50 horsepower, three-ply, douply dis titled balloon. It is all very well to go pryng into the secret affairs of the clouds, to turn the laugh on the Eng fish channel by sailing over it instead of on 1t and to show that America is on top even up in the air, but there's the North Pole to be discovered. and Mai Hersey Is booked to help boss the job. He must not take any chances that would inter fere with that engagement. 1t would be a dlsappoint to the Pole. after all these years, to hear any other than his cheery voice sing out, What ho! MT Pole! You are our prisoner" It would be also a cruelty to divers and sundry Kentucl<ians to cheat them by n prema- ture accident out of many q lively and Givertlng narrative of adventure from the lips of q raconteur worth while.

LOST IN AFRICAN BUSH.
Desert In Which Hunters of Big Game
 Sometimes Go Astray.

Among difficulties of travel we found that our boys had not the slight est idea of distance, either in miles or hours. At times it was extremely irri- tating, but there was no help for it. A native can only calculate by the sun. He will point to the sky and say: When the sun is there we shall get 10 water" And if one is travelling continuously, he is generally right But an outspan at once upsets the cal culation. How often did we ask. "Metsl kae?" (Where is the water?) and receive the inyariable answer: Not so very far" or Very far,' the only two modes of expressing dis tances known to him.
 In this way we journeyed on slowly through the sultry and dusty country. says a writer in Blackwood's Maga- zine, describing a trek in the Kala- hari, spending the mornings and eyen- ings shooting in the bush. It was a land of few attractions, ana yet in the cool light of the morning, or when it's barren brownness was hidden by the warm glow of the setting sun, it waa almost beautiful. Bird life was plenti- ful, and we always enjoyed the Luxury of fresh pheasant and partridge--a luxury to which Johannesburg, under the tyranny of cold storage, is a stranger. Cartridges, mamaquaS and shrimpies { a little partridge-a great delicacy) red-headed pheasants, kor- haan, guinea fowl, were to be foun1 everywhere, and sometimes we saw q baauw. Steinbuck and duiller (phu- dnhudu in Bechuana) were plentiful, too, but we saw no larger game.
 For days we travelled on through the wach-een-beetje thorn bush. Curiously enough. this bush, which spreads un- broken over so vast portion South Africa, seems to the traveller to be al ways subtly changing in character. Now it is so thick that one can see only a few yards; now itsbreaks into park line country; then again the bushes are for a mile or two only a few feet high, and little further on the timber is of quite decent size. And vet to travel on through it for days a montonously dreary, and 1t upliness and unattractiveness makes it after time appear almost as a per sonal enemy.
 And after all, this feeling is not so far wrong, for surely this is the land where life has death for neighbor'-- neighbor ready to greet any one who may wander alone in his domain. If a man is inexperienced and unless he possesses a singularly good bump of locality it is about ten to one that in half an hour he is hopelessly lost. IL is impossible to imagine how easy it is to lose ones bearings, and 1 never ceased to marvel at the instinct which led the natives to go back straight to the camp. Bnt not every native has this instinct.
 To be of any use he must have been

 The general public knows only Mr. Hearst His name is at the top of his newspapers in New York, Chicago, Bos- ton San Francisco and Los Angeles all the procamations. platforms and editori- als are signed by William Randolph Hearst; the bills which he has introduced into congress credit him as their official author.

Yet to three men Is due the credit Cor blamel for the prevalence of what may be called the Hearst myth At first there were two Mir. Arthur Brisbane and MT. Solomon S. Carvalho-the third, MT.
