Five Hundred Guests in Topeka

from Eskridge this morning over the
Santa Fe and was promoted by the
Commercial club.
The train, which consisted of eight
coaches, left Eskridge early this morn

ten O'Clock, making a remarkably quick
run considering the number of stops
which the train made
The crowd of buyers was a happy one
as the train pulled into Topeka. Resi-

villages were in the party. Others who

started up Fifth street for Kansas ave-
nue., ready to spend their hard earned
money in order to make the Christmas
day merry one for the relatives and
friends.
Some of the crowd seemed used to
city ways and walked into the stores
with airs of a person who was used to
shopping in the metropolis of this sec
ton. Others had. evidently never been
in Topeka before. They stared at the
postoffice building and wondered how
high it was. In the store windows their
vision passed, and the lavish displays
of Topeka's merchants amazed them
portion of the crowd seemed to be
on pleasure bent. The state house with
a trip to the dome, the insane asylum,
Washburn college and many other OBJ
jects of interest occupied their atten-
ton and little time was spent in shop

with a New York firm of expert ac-
countants and who has been in charge
of the states Investigations into the
earnings and expenses of various rail-
roads.
Mr.. Taliaferro in direct opposition
to the long array of witnesses in
troduced by the defendants. declared
the relative cost to the railway COM
panies per passenger mile was less
for state than for interstate traffic.
The witnesses who had preceded the
states witnesses were unanimous in
their statements that the state traffic
was relatively the more expensive.
Mr.. Taliaferro based his conclusion on
the fact that most of the interstate
traffic was handled on sleeping cars
which did not carry so large a num-
Der of passengers as the ordinary
coaches. The state passengers rode
in day coaches which accommodated
a larger number of patrons and that
the witness said, made the cost of
handling them relatively smaller. 1t
was further stated that the time of
almost everybody connected with the
road was largely given to expediting
and securing the competitive, or long
haul business. and that practically all
of the advertising expenses and most
of the traffic expenses should be
to the cost of obtaining and
carrying interstate passengers.

How the japanese Make Biscuits and
Bread.

Old Japan has no bread or biscuits.
Rice, beans, fish. eggs and millet We're
and are the chief articles of food. The
japanese knowledge of bread dates
from their acquaintance with the
Portuguese, who first entered Japan in
1912. From the Portuguese and Span
ards the Japanese adopted the word
pan. meaning bread. and several other
words which today are good Japanese.
Among these is Kasutera. the name of
a yellow sponge cake which the Jap
anese cooks learned to make from the
men of CASTLE and named after them.
There is no I in japanese and is
substituted for it, SO that CASTLE be-
comes Kasute-a
In 1890 there was a rage for foreign
bread in Toxic. even among jinrikisha
men and coolies. Piles of loaves were
seen at every little cook-staH. But
the fashion subsidized like a fever. and
ordinary japanese victuals resumed
their wonted place. Biscuits such as
we see in this view are a compromise
between oriental and occidental cook
cry. They are of various kinds. made
of rice or of wheat flour and baked
over a charcoal fire.
