TUESDAYS GAME. l
At Lexington Tuesday the Paris
team suffered its first shutout of the
season. Lexington in the first inning
took kindly to O'Dohnell's pitching
and batted in two runs. After the
second inning Manager Schmidt took
O'Donnell out of the box and put in
Quinlan. which stopped the run getting
for the Lexington team. Quinlan held
the sluggers down to four hits which
did them no good.
The game was fast one from be-

HIS FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL.

She lost her little boy today;
Her eyes were moist and sweet
And tender, when he went away
To hurry down the street.
She stood there for the longest while
And watched and watched; then
She said-and tried to force a smile
Hell not come back again"
Inside the house the tears would come,
She sank into the chair
And sobbed above the battered drum
And trumpet lying there.
The sunshine stole into the place
It only made her sad
With thinking of the pretty grace
His baby treSseS had.
She minded all his pretty ways;
She went to see his crib
Up in the attic, then to gaze
At platter, spoon and bib,
And all the trinkets he had thought
So fair to look upon
Each one of them this murmur brought:
my little boy has gone"
She wandered through the house all day,
To come on things he'd left,
And o, she missed his romping play
And felt herself bereft!
When he came home, with shining eyes,
To tell of schools delight,
She kissed and held him motherwise
With something OF alright.

The st. Joseph & Grand Island rail-
road, in Missouri, has announced that it
will add five motor cars to the two which
it now has in use, and thus improve
its passenger service. This will be sur
prising to the patrons of the Illinois
Central railroad in southern Wisconsin
who objected to the motor cars when
they were placed on that line for short
runs. The cars on the st. Joseph &
Grand Island road are of steel construc-
ton, with pointed ends to reduce wind
resistance, and with portfolios for win
dows. They can be speeded up to fifty
miles, but are made for an average speed
of thirty miles an hour. It is with cars
of this kind that the regular steam lines
may eventually compete successfully
with the electric interurban cars in the
era of cheap fuel which is to be ushered

HARTMAN, THE BUILDER.
Some of the Great Achievements ON
the Roads He Controlled.

Some of the Great Achievements ON
the Roads He Controlled.
E. H. Hartman was one OF the
greatest railroad reconstructionlSts
this country has known. When he
took over the Union, Central and
Southern Pacific he foresaw that the
entire lines would have to be rebuilt.
He put his whole energy into the task
of expanding many millions of dollars
for that purpose; some say $20,000,-
000 He Strengthened out crooks and
curves; tunneled mountains at their
bases, where the roads formerly went
over them; put steel viaducts and
bridges across ravines and streams;
reduced grades, built excellent road
beds and placed on them the heaviest
steel rails.
Starting at the east end of the syS-
tenn, the new double structural steel
bridge across the Missouri river be-
tween Council Bluffs and Omaha is
considered one Of the finest railway
structures of its kind extant.
Greatest, perhaps. of all the achieve
ments to which Mr.. Hartman devoted
his personal attention and effort is the
Lucin cutoff, crossing Great Salt Lake.
This structure crosses the inland sea,
with an average depth of thirty feet,
cutting out forty-four miles of the for
mer line around the lake and 1,515
feet of elevation, or grade. There were
5000 men engaged day and night in
building 1t. 1t required 1926 trees,
from 100 to 200 feet high, to create the
piling of the trestlework, twenty+three
miles long Eleven miles of this trestle
were filled in with several big hills,
or small mountains. torn down by
