"The number OF inquiries and or.

the navigation Of the air will have

RAlLRoAclNe IN KANSAS.
A Game Of Chance at Times Under

A Game Of Chance at Times Under
the Law Protecting Employees.
Kansas is a great State" said the
man whose business keeps him jump

country, "all except the railroads, and
these sure did bother me in the few
months that /, raw Fastener, spent
In the State.
at is a game of chance sometimes
to get from one place, and 1t isn't all
due to the fact that the further you get
away from New York the more rail-
road schedules go awry. They have
law in Kansas that no railroad EN-
ployee shall work more than sixteen
hours on a stretch, and that's what
plays the dickens.
"A few superb trains pass through
Kansas-that's what they do, pass
through, scarcely stopping long
enough to say howdy. They are going
to the Coast or returning, and once
in while 4 can make trip Eastern
style, but for the short local trips
that my business demands it's mixed
freight and passenger trains most OF
the time
Here's where the law to protect
employees works like wheel of for
tune. The schedule may call for arri-
val at a particular place in ample
time for the crews to be changed le-
gally, but If a lot Of freight is to be
handled at preceding stopping places
the delay may be so great that the
sixteen hour limit may expire miles
and miles short of destination.
IF this limit does so expire there's
nothing for it but to run the train TO
the next place that resembles stop,
If it's only siding, and lay 1t OFF.
The next train that comes along
doubles up with the stalled train and
takes the law protected trainmen
along as passengers.
"They mustn't work, mind you, until
eight hours have elapsed. Occasionally
there is no next train for more than

This Is gospel truth I'm telling you,
for / have been held up in those stall
led trains many a time.
"one night was going up the Lin
coin branch Of the Union Pacific hop
ing to reach Marysville late that night.
The train had only one passenger car.
There was lot of way freight and we
kept losing and losing time.
"The sixteen hour-limit of work for
that crew came at midnight, when we
were about twelve miles out of Marys-
vile. We were near a siding and into
this we ran prepared to wait for an
other train or for the eight hours to
expire.
There wasn't a sign of a house
anywhere, so the passengers, only six
men then, spent the night as best they
could in the car. The trainmen had
the more comfortable caboose.
There we stuck until daylight, Ma
next train had come then, 80 the SIX
OF us trudged along until we found q
farmhouse. We got the farmer to
drive us into Marysyille and beat the

The General Federation OF Women's .
Clubs was registered In the almanacs
OF 1908 as having over 5000 clubs in
It's membership, with 100000 women

every year amazingly. II contains too
only a few out of the numberless wom-

small clubs, societies and circles every

selves with any States or national or

The players traded for Williams
when the deal was first consumated
were none too anxious to sign with
Hannibal and as result the Mis-
souTians backed out of the deal.
They offered williams for cash
price and the local management
grabbed up the player at once.

for Marion had the player trade
been put through but even as IL Is,
Williams, according to all reports Is
worth the money paid for him and
more. ODay hats notion that the
