Down Growing Roots.

The unalterable downward trend of tue first root is all the more remark able when We consider that the sub sequent ramifcadons grow out in any direction which seems to be desirable. Many years ago Colonel Greenwood started some experiments by fixing horse chestnut seeds in inverted pots. The first root to appear developed downward into the light but naturally soon shriveled up and died. Not so the secondary roots. which had spread into the soil of the pot The upper parts of the plants, which had presumably first grown to one side and then shot upward. continued to flourish exceed ingly. 1t is related that for no less than twenty years Colonel Greenwood kept one of these chestnuts alive, all the time in an upside down condition as far as the roots were concerned. When the plant became too large for its original receptacle It's roots were incased in q chimney pot, several of these latter being called into requisi- tlon as the experiment continued. Finally the root was turned over q wall and conducted to q mound of earth on the other side, at last being allowed to take natural course. This the long suffering tree readily did and remained for some time a great curi- oslty with its long arching root.-sci- enti6c American.

The Maaloian and the Kina.

A magician once travelled to New Zealand. It was arranged that he should give an exhibition of mind read, Ing before the king of the NIaorls. Aft CT some parleying 1t was decided that the king himself should conceal the article which the magician was to dis cover.
 The mind reader left the room and after a time was brought back blind folded, as is the custom In such per formances. After some time the ma giclan declared that the hidden article was in the kings mouth His majesty shook his head savagely in the mega tive. The magician insisted upon hls point and demanded that the kings mouth he opened wide. The king re- fused.
 The magician insisted, and the .eX- citement became very great until at last the dusky king reluctantly opened his jaws. The article was not there! The next instant, however, the king was taken with a violent ft of cough ing. Be had tried to swallow the lost article, button, but could not and was compelled to cough 1t up.
 The Maoris were uproarious with mlrth, They did not know which to admire the more-the wisdom of the magician or the herotsm of the king.

amining her engagement ring with loving admiration.
 Peggy's warm, impulslve heart swell ed with grief and indignation. Light indeed was Bob Holcombs love when be could shift so quickly from one sweetheart to another! How conven- lent for such as he to carry an engage ment ring in his pocket
 Peggy had never seen the ring until It dashed from Miss Danes finger, but Bob had told her 1t was the prettiest ring in the world and that there was no other like 1t. It had come that morning in the registered mall, and he had whispered that he wanted her to try 1t on after breakfast.
 And then had come the Black Dan episode, and she had not seen Bob since. He had absented himself from the luncheon table under plea of busi- ness. No wonder he had been ashamed to face her!
 Pretty Girl ambled down the lane, where the thick hedge on either side made long green arbor through which the late afternoon sunlight fil- tered on Peggy's shining hair. A thrush, poised on the topmost bough of a young chestnut poured out q rap turous song. The liquid notes fell on the girls ear with heartbreaking sweetness, and she leaned her sunny head down on Pretty Girls neck and sobbed.
 The mare stopped and turned her head with mild surprise. Some one was coming down the lane on tall gray horse-some one with dlscontent- ed eyes that lighted wonderfully when they saw Pcggy's dropping head.
 Peggy, dear! What Is the matterP Bob Holcomb was bending over his late fancee, and one strong hand drew her head to his shoulder
 Peggy withdrew herself with frightened cry. "How dare you, sir?" she said indignantly. She was obliv- ious to the traces of tears on her pink cheeks.
 "Oh, come now, Peggy" entreated Holcomb, T know you didn't mean what you said and"-
 Bessie Dane has told me of her en- gagement to you, Bob" said Peggy iclly.
 Engagement! To Bessie! Fudgew said Holcombe weakly. "Why-of course-she is engaged to Bob Mills. He's staying over ut Beechcroft and rode over here this morning, and l guess they fixed 1t up then. Seen her ring|
 Peggy nodded. There was a singing in her heart, and she wondered if Bob could hear 1t.
 Trashy looking ring" commented Holcomb, fumblIng in his pocket; then he drew forth a leather case and ex- tracted ring, the conventional en- gagemcnt rlng-a large solitaire. As he slipped 1t on Peggy's willing finger he said tenderly:
 Now, most people would say 1t was just like a hundred other engagement rings, but 1t isn't. There isn't another ring like st in the world, Peggy, be- cause 1t means that we are bctrothed with it. It means that our love will always overcome any foolish misun- derstandings, eh, Peggy, darling?" he murmured us he slipped his arm around her waist

a recent editorial, about the pur-

bring a suit for the dissolution of
what is spoken of as the merger of
the Union Pacific and Southern Pa

expressing doubt about the result of
such an action. In our opinion there
is much doubt, not only about the
judicial result, but about the adj
Visibility Of proceeding of the kind.
1.-The so-called merger consists of
the virtual control of the Southern
Pacific company by the Union Pacific
through the ownership of something
less than a majority of the stock.
That this control is practically COM
plete there is no doubt. The stock
ownership is not in itself unlawful
nor is the control of one railroad
corporation by another. The only
ground for this suit would be the as
sumed fact that these two railroads
are in some important measure
parallel and competing, and that a

There are hardly any large railroad

COUNTY WILL AID.
In Building of Kansas s. Texas Road
Through Santa Fe.

G. W. ellison and T. o. James, who
represent the Kansas & Texas Railway
company, went from Garden City to
Santa Fe last week and made pro-
position to the citizens of that county
in reference to bringing in the new
road. The Monitor is quite enthusiastic
over the proposition and urges the peo-
pie to give the road encouragement.
The paper says:
G. w. ellison, vice president, and T.
o. James, chief engineer, Of the Kan
sas & Texas Railroad company, came
in Tuesday noon on the stage and spent
the afternoon and yesterday talking
with our business men and presenting
their proposition, which was very
favorably received.
The proposition which the company
makes is as follows: To build a stand
ard gauge railroad from the north line
of Haskell county on the survey of the
Garden City and Southern railroad. to
Santa Fe and from here to the south
west corner Of the county. In return
our people are asked to vote bonds to
the extent of $4,000 per mile, donate the
right-of-way and subscribe for ten
shares Of the capital stock of the road,
face value 800 per share, at rs cents on
the dollar.
This is the most favorable proposition
we could hope to get and has been well
received by everyone who has been
talked with. The petitions for calling
an election have been prepared and are
ready for signatures. If you do not
see one within the next week the first
time you are in town call for one and
affix your signature. Let US all get
busy and show the company we are
willing to do our part toward securing
this road. which if given the proper
encouragement, will be built through
our county within a year. When com.
pleted to Amarillo we will have gulf
connections for shipping our wheat and
we can reasonably expect from TO III
cents more than we get under the pres
emf conditions at Garden City or Plains.
Besides this we will save at least 10
cents a bushel on the cost OF market
ing our grain, making a difference OF
nearly 20 cents a bushel. 1t Is a GOOD
thing. push it along.

port trade. 1t is a matter of course
that transconti entail lines come more
or less in competition, and there Is
no doubt that the Union and South
ern Pacific had considerable competi-
tive business.
But the main purpose of the So
called merger was to secure for the
Union Pacific a through connection to
the Pacific coast which it did not
previously have. That connection was
originally made by the Union Pacific
and the Central Pacific, which met at
Ogden. The Southern Pacific was
built mainly by those concerned in
the construction and management of
the Central Pacific and the two were
consolidated, with the result that the
Union Pacific could reach the west
ern coast only over a line of its rival
own If it could have obtained con-
troll Of the Central division from
Ogden to San Francisco alone that
might have been preferable, but it
could get that only by dominating the
Southern Pacific, which owned it.
THE purpose of the Union Pacific
to reach the coast over line under
it's own control was quite legitimate
and it was in the interest of the ship
ping public. 1t would have been in
the interest of competition for it to
build a line of it's own or to get con-
troll or the OLD central, leaving the
Southern Pacific its sunset route but
the latter it could not do without
taking the whole Southern system and
the former would be costly under
taking and would incur a direct
competition that might make it I'M
profitab BILE. If the matter could now
be adjusted by detaching the old Cen
trail Pacific from the Southern and
attaching it to the Union, and estab-
fishing competition between the Union
and the Southern systems from the
Mississippi valley to the Pacific coast,
that would be a desirable consumma-
ton; but if that is impracticable, it is
doubtful whether the courts would
find ground for compelling the
Union Pacific to relinquish the con-
troll it has acquired over the Southern
Pacific If they should do so, what
assurance is there that the two sys-
TENS would run Independently and in
It is well that the hold
ing scheme Of the Northern Securities
was annulled. but it has
made little difference with competi-
ton between the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific"
