New Order to Be Applied to Mileage
Books ON Santa Fe.

Books on Santa Fe.
Under the new rule. made by the
santa Fe, detachments can be taken
from 600-mile books for short line dis
tances between two points, where
heretofore detachments have been
made for the actual distance Travelled.
This is shown in the mileage detach-
ment between Wichita and Hutchin-
son. By way of the Santa Fe system,
it is so miles between Wichita and
Hutchinson, while by way OF Missouri
Pacific. it is only As miles. So that
the Santa Fe might compete with the
other railroad. detachments from a
500-mile book will only be made for
the 4S miles. the distance via the Mis-
souri, Pacific. or the shortest route.
There are several other towns of
Kansas that are favored under this
new ruling. that the Santa Fe might
offer rates to points covered by them,
similar to the fares Of other roads
where the distance Is shorter. Each
conductor is given a list Of these towns
and will, in the future, make detach-
mentS accordingly.

The KnOCker.

Every once in a while an editor has
an attack of dyspepsia and when he
does someone generally comes in for a
goodly portion of his morbid wrath.
The knocker was chosen as the
theme of one editor who was recently
in the throes of that dreadful disease
and here is what he wrote:
Saint Peter It's said, sits out by he
gate, his hands on the string of his
Tyre, and he sings as he sits, low
song as he waits for the spirits of
those who expire. He hears in the dis.
lance the chorus of song that sweils at
the foot of the throne, and he smiles as
the music is waited along, and MARBLES
this lay of his own:
There's room in this region of
millions OF souls who by sorrow and
woe were bereft: tits for those who
have suffered, the melody rolls, but
the kickers must turn to the left
There is room here for people who
when they were young, persisted in
sowing wild oats. yet who doomed up
the city with sinew and tongue-but
the kickers must go with the goats.
There is room for the people who
pointed with pride to the beauty and
growth of their town, who kept sing
ing its praises and charms till they
died but the kickers will please amble
down. There is room here for burg
lars whJ cheerfully paid their taxes for
sewers and lights, but the kicker must
stay where the drainage is bad and the
burnt sulphur illumes the nights.
There is room here for voters on whose
loyal support their party could awlays
rely. but the kickers must go to the sa-
tanic court. a place they can't bolt
when they die. There is room for all
those who at last and at first, support
ed their tradesmen at home, but the
kicker " no branded home goods as the
worst, from mansions forever must
roam. They d say that the music was
all out. of. tune and the angelic robes
hand-me-downs. and they'd send for a
jeweier off to the moon to sample the
