A small Wichita boys father is a
Democrat, But at the grandfather's
house all are Republicans, and when
he visited at the latter place he heard
a good many jnlts flung at Democracy
and its friends. He tried to stay
loyal, however.
One day his aunt was helping him
through with his lessons, when he
suddenly flung his book into a corner
OF the room and said:
"Auntie, Its no use. I'm not going
to learn TO read. It's no use, l tell

ROOM TO EXPAND.
Street Car Company VIII Extend
Barns to Eleventh Street.

The deal has been closed and work
will commence at once on the new
addition to the car barns of the To-
peka Street Railway. The three lots
facing Jackson street just north of
the present barns have been pur-
chased and the cottages on these lots
addition to the car barns will give
them rs more feet on the north. The
car barn facing Jackson and Twelfth
streets will be extended to Eleventh
street thus making the big structure
one whole block in length.
For some time the Topeka Railway
company has contemplated this move
but were unable to complete arrange
ments until this time. It seems that
the railway people have been crowded
for barn space for over year and
only by systematic and compact ar
rangements was it possible to house
all of the cars now used by the COM
pany.
Not long ago the company ordered
twelve new "pay-as-yOu-e enter" cars
and by this move they entered into, an
agreement for the additional property
secured. These new metropolitan
modern cars are larger than the aver
age regular car on the system and
they will take up considerable track
age. There are eight tracks running
the entire length of the present barns
and when the new IS foot addition is
built Is new cars can be accom-
The car barns and all
company buildings are built neatly
and durably of cement blocks.

NOT YET UP TO 1907.
But Business Is Showing a Marked
Tendency Upward.

Washington. July 2.-The review OF
the internal commerce of the united
States during May as shown by buI-
letin of the bureau of statistics OF the
department of commerce and labor mas
an optimistic tone.
While the volume of livestock and
grain movements was below that re-
ported for May of the preceding Two
years and there appeared also a slight
check in the upward trend of the coal
and lumber traffic, the transportation,
manufacturing and building activities
are reported as improved. The coke out
put and shipments showed a continuous
improverns . in answer to the large
demand of n c iron furnaces. Increased
takings of cotton and wool were inter
preted as indicating greater activity
in the textile industry. while larger
shipments Of boots AMI shoes from the
chief distributing centers served the
statisticians as an index Of more reg
uIar Industrial employment.
The building activity in the larger
cities of the country was reported as
unusually high. Traffic operations OF
railroads, judging by the total number
of freight cars handled and the num-
Der of idle cars reported, were not up
to the high record of 1907. though COM
parsons with May, 1908, showed a con-
siderable Improvement for practically
all sections of the country.

What q Dollar poa Can Do.

A man in a nearby city bought for
his wife and child a year ago a dog,
for which he paid dollar. It was
obviously nothing wonderful in the
canine way-merely mOhgrel with
the bulldog strain predominant. The
owner was man in humble circum-
stances, and the dog in his modest
dwelling was the principal asset aside
from few sticks of furniture. The
other night Tom was tied to leg of
the Kitchen sink. as usual, and the
family went to bed. They were awak-
ened by the dog at midnight scratch
ing at his masters door When his
master came out to see what was the
matter the dog. with remnant of
chewed rope hanging from his collar,
whined and ran to the head of the
stairway. The house was on fire. and
shortly after woman and child and
man and dog made their escape their
poor dwelling was mass of glowing
embers. The owner of the dog has
been urged to part with him for a
large cash consideration; but, though
he is penniless, lie will not part with
the four footed savior of his family.
Neither has the dog at any time had
thoughts of leaving them for luxurious
kennels.-New York Times.

McVicar, the man whose body as found
in trunk at the Southern Pacific rail-
road station, a commission was ap-
pointed to make thorough examination
of the accused and report to the court.
Drs. E. Harbert and S. E. Llt:l were
selected for that work and yesterday they
made the following report to District
Attorney McNoble:

report on the present condition and state

That on the oath day of November, 1909
we visited the jail and made physical
examination of said person, which was
negative so far as there being any tuber-
cular infection of the lungs or any
other part of the body. At this time we
made application of the Moro's tuber-
aular test, and on the 26th day of No
venlber, 1909, patient was taken to DR..
Harbert's office for further examination,
and as to the finding of tuberculosis the
results were negative. She has slight

affections are serious or greatly de-
trimental TO the 9 rc;l hea III. The
patient was returned to DR.. Harbert S
Office again on November 27, 1909, and
further examined with the same results
stated above. -
The physicians found the woman
afflicted with a catarrhal trouble which
caused some annoyance in her throat
and made an irritation that led TO oc-
casiona coughing, but it produced no
indication of lung trouble and is not
considered serious. She is not robust,
as a matter of course, but she is able
to stand the strain of trial, the law
officers say, and they are preparing to
proceed with the trial on the End of
next February. All of the witnesses
will be in court save one, whose test
