THE recent washouts on the Santa Fe delayed the trains, but the lives of the hundreds of pas sengers that travel over this great road daily were never in danger. The Santa Fe system takes the greatest precaution in the handling of it's passenger trains, and it is known as one of the safest roads in the world for the traveller. This is the principal reason for the inn mense number of people that travel over the Santa Fe. The American people while they enjoy in making fast time have still greater desire to travel in safety.

The onions sproutin' into seed, the corn's just gettin' high; there's a foweret by the roadway and a blue cloud in the sky; there's a reaper in the meadow and bee left in the hive. and it's mighty good, it's fine, I say, it's great to be alive.

Dame Fortune may be fickle and our ship may not come home, and the roadway may be rocky where we chance to toll and roam, but beyond the evening shadows there'll be rest when we arrive, and until the journeys ended it is good to be alive.-Ex.
