RAiLFC.AD BATTLE.
Force and Subterfuge Count for More
 Than Courts.

Probably there will never again take place such a tremendous railroad battle as that which occurred during the iate seventies between the Denver and Rio Grande under General Palmer, and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. That was a war typical of the early western methods-a battle royal for the state of Colorado. Force and subterfuge counted for more than the mandates of the court. At that time an engineer of one line on going to occupy a pass through the mountains found it already held by representative of the rival line, backed by 100 men armed with Winchesters, says a writer in Appleton's Magazine for June.
 By what authority do you occupy this pass?" was the question.
 By the authority of these rifles and the supreme court was the reply, sig nificant in that the rifles came first. And it was typical of the times The tale of the struggle for the now famous Royal Gorge between these two lines, which later spread into a fight throughout the state is in itself a most amazing story. Then 1t was that General Palmer fight ing fire with fire, looped the telegraph lines into his house and sat all night listening to his enemys plans. Then it was. too, that since famous westerner in the employ of the Santa Fe held fort against the Rio Grande claims. But though famous as killer, the bad man. was also anxious for money, and eventu- ally the Rio Grande crowd. who could not dislodge him by force, accomplished this end by gold.
 Romance of this sort is indeed gone and happily so. But new romance has suc- ceeded the old. Railroads still differ, but their battles are battles of brains, not of force The fight is fought with the skill cunning and science of the en- gineer and traffic expert, shown in the wise selection of the right route at the very start, and securing advantages in construction and strategic position which shall be abiding for all time.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-24

of those who profit by reactionary inter- pretation of the laws.
 "Relgion is taught in the harem by Turkish women who are professors, who have gone through their course Of the ology.
 "A1though they are quite sincere m their teachings, yet they listen, also, 10 the coarse stories and jocular crudties Of the buffoon women in whom all the wo- men of Turkey, except the best educated, take the greatest delight.
 Love? Yes there are fllrtations and so forth. notwithstanding the carc taken m guarding the harems. Where women are concerned nothing is impossible.
 'Perhaps the Turkish woman is more prone to a love affair because she does not know enough about men. She knows only of one man, and but little about him.
 ."The love affairs of most women are of the eyes. Some women fall desperately in love with men with whom they have never conversed, and of whom, really, they know nothing.
 .,rhe only opportunity they have of see- ing the favored man is as the carriage IS being driven along. Thess affairs though, have grown a little more practical now
 "rhe tribute thrown surreptitiously into the carriage used to be flowers. but these have been replaced by bllletdouN, and if the two are much in earnest there is always some slave ready to help.
 "Of course there were the moonlight promenades in caiques' s'-gondola-liNe boats-on the Bosphorus. There Is d great tendresse in every woman, and there was the music and the moonlight and the beautiful scenery.
