construction of the new trunk line

I'VE are more than gratified with
the progress of our work in Denver
and in fact all through the northern
portion of the state" said c. S. John
son, president of the new road yester-
day. 1.-THE people of this state are
railying to our support in splendid
style. There are no Ifs about our
proposition. The new road will be
built and will be built much sooner
than most people have any idea. Nee

as ours; progress, especially In the
earlier stages, must seem somewhat
slow. But in railroad building as in
everything else much depends in the
kind OF a foundation. We are laying
our foundation well and deep.
THE splendid endorsement of our
work given to the officers and direc-
tors OF the road by the Denver cham
Der of commerce was especially graft
flying and will have much to do with
speeding the time when actual work
on the road will be begun. We af
forded the chamber Of commerce COM
mittee every opportunity to examine
thoroughly our plan of operation and
the fact that 1t received such hearty
support from them is source of
much qualification 10 u.s."

All those intrusted with the care Of
he young are faced by grave prob
em in the case OF children who inherit
Sr display precocity. The guiding to
maturity of the simple, normal child.
who passes naturally from stage to
,tage of its development, is a compar-
itively easy matter. The trouble is
largely that the nature of precocity
not understood. Most parents, for
Example, hail the signs of it with de-
light, and do all they can to foster
hem. They treat precocity as gold
WORTH" but here they make a great
mistake. There are several types of
precocious children, presenting vary
ng degrees of peril to the training
Iystem, and this peril is greatly
essened by a capacity to classify the
types. There are certain children,
born of healthy and intellectual stock
with fine physiques. They inherit
usually very active nerve-centers
which imply, among other things.
HulCh Ca6Si Gill pioStooNo
These children are hailed with justice
rs the legitimate towering OF their
heredity, and then all concerned, in
Guiding, of course, the poor child it
self, hasten to work havoc with the
fair prospect by cruel and short
sighted system of forcing. These chill
dren. being naturally strong and well,
can bear an enormous amount OF the
system, without breaking down, but
they do not make the men and women
they would have made under wise re-
straint. They should be kept much
with other children, noticed little by
their elders. interested In physical pur-
suits, and nodded into symmetry by a
persistent holding back. There may
not be much wrong with the child
who reads the Greek Testament at
four years of age, but there is certain
Iy something wrong with the parents
who let him. There is another very
different type of precocious children,
says the Youths Companion. These
are the offspring often OF equity or tu-
berculous parents, and inherit, II not
actual disease. at least faulty ply
siques. They are often beautiful, en-
gaging children OF great mental bril-
lance. They often have phenomenal
memories which are developed at the
expense of all other mental faculties.
They are not physically strong enough
for any sustained effort, and after a
brilliant childhood they exhaust them
selves and become commonplace.
These children should be made to lead
physical lives. every effort being d.
rected to form a good constitution. A
country life is almost necessity in
their case. and the mental develop
ment should be made as gradual as
possible.

WORK OF MAHOGANY HUNTER.
Practleed Eye Needed to Locate the
Valuable Timber.

Mahogany trees do not grow in
clusters. but are scattered throughout
the forest and hidden In dense
growth of underbrush, vines and
creepers and require a skillful and
experienced Woodsman to find them.
He seeks the highest ground in for
est, climbs TO the top OF the tallest
tree and surveys the surrounding
country The mahogany has a pc
culiar foliage and his practiced eye
soon detects the trees within sight
The aXmen follow the hunter and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
large mahogany taking two men a full
day 10 fell it, The tree has large
spurs, which project from the trunk
at its base, and scaffolds must be
erected so that the tree can be cut
off above the spurs. This leaves a
stump ten TO fifteen feet high, which
is sheer waste, as the stump really
contains the best lumber. The hunter
has nothing to do with the work OF
cutting or removing the tree, his duty
being simply to locate it. If he is
clever and energetic his remuneration
may amount to $500 or $1,000 a
MONTH but he may travel weeks at a
time without detecting tree, and as
he is generally paid by results his
earnings are rather precariou-.
