Why Canals Are Abandoned.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the CnlCdBO journal.
Herbert Knox Smith, of the department
OF commerce and labor. Is credited with
the statement that the government has at
one time or another Quilt some $500 miles
OF canals In this country. of which more
than one-half are now abandoned. That
property worth $40, 900. 600 should thus go
to waste grieves the hearts OF opponents
OF deep waterways, who use the decad-
ence OF old canals as an argument against
new ones.
AS a matter of fact, In many instances
railroads have purchased control of ca
nails and closed them in order TO remove
competition. In other cases rivers which
were formerly joined by canals have been
allowed TO hll up until navigation was
impossible. In all cases railroads have
stopped at nothing to destroy existing
waterways and prevent new ones.
A striking instance OF this exists not
far from Chicago. For many years a
pretty little river had been ~navigated reg
u;sT,y for many miles. Finally ar cleo
trio road was constructed parallel to the
river. No sooner was Il in commission
than the railroad purchased the steam
boat and ran It ashore. Then. to make
sure competition by water would not be
possible, logs were driven iuto sitaiiow
spots in the river in order to obstruct
the channel
when a railroad will take such liberties
with a natural navigable stream the aban-
| donment OF artificial canals need furnish
no mystery incapable % explanation by a
little patient research.

From Kansas.
From the Kansas City Journal

From the Kansas City Journal.
This is the tallest corn story Of the
season and is being told among the
travelling men over the state. 1t is
said to have been in a letter written
home by an eastern visitor:
Most of the Kansas streets are paved,
grains of corn being used for cobble-
stones, while the cObs are followed
out for sewer pipe. The husks, when
taken off hole and stood on end,
make a nice tent for the children to
play In. II sounds queer to hear the
feed man tell the driver to take a dozen
grains of horse feed over to Jackson's
livery stable. If IL were not for soft,
deep soil here 1 don't see how they
would ever harvest the corn, as the
stalks would grow up as high in the
air as a Methodist church steeple.
However, when the ears get too heavy
their weight presses the stalk down
in the ground on an average of 81 feet:
and this brings the ear near enough to-
the ground TO be chopped off with an

BOY GAVE MOTHERS
DIAMONDS TO HIS
SWEETHEART OF 6
Police Had Been Searching for
Jewels; Girl Decked Dollies
With Them.

McKeesport, Pa, Special: The polios
of this city have been called off from a
hunt for diamond thieves, which had
been going on quietly for some days
and about which the police all over the
country had been asked.
Mrs. William Wood reported to the
police that a diamond brooch and sew
eral rings had been stolen from her
home and she offered a reward for their
return. Mrs. Wood made the discov-
cry that her 7-year-old son had given
the jewels TO his 6~-year-old sweetheart,
who had in turn decked her dollies with
them In the most gaudy fashion. All
the jewels were recovered save one dia-
mond ring, which the biggest dolly Of
the bunch had tied around her neck.
The little doll mother and child sweet
heart objected to giving this up.
II buyed II off Jimmy; l buyed it,"
sobbed the little one. II gived him four
nice dogwoOd berries for It,"
Mrs. Wood secured several dozen dog
wood berries and with usurious rate OF
interest bought her ring back.

OF their like. They were gesticulating,
nor was there much doubt, from the
laughter with which their tale was re-
ceived, that they were retailing a joke
OF signal humor.
That did not surprise the colonel. But
when the door opened a moment later
and Marsh came hastily into the room
and, with averted face, began to peer
about for something, he was surprised.
Where's that snuff box" the sallow
faced man exclaimed. Then, looking
about him 10 make sure that the door
was closed, See here, sir" he said
awkwardly. "it's no business of mine,
but for a man who has served as you
say you have you're a very simple fell

Cant you see they'll all be there to

The next moment, with a hasty nod, he
was gone. He had found the box in
his pocket.
Colonel Sullivan smiled and rose from
the table. "A God man." he muttered.
"Pity he has moi more courage" The
next moment he came to attention, for
slowly past the window moved Captain
Payton himself, riding Flavia's mare
and talking with one of the young
bloods who walked at his stirFup.

He knew that he could only get the

this after what had happened seemed
impossible. II he was anxious to re-

PRINCESS WHO DIRECTS
A STEAMSHIP LINE

From the Philadelphia North American.
One of this worlds successful women
who believe that where there's a will
there's a way is the Princess Waldo
maj Of Denmark, wife of the kings
youngest brother. This enterprising
woman is virtually at the head of a
large steamship company, which she
tending its lines.
There have been "admirals" mons
the royal women of Europe - women
upon whom the honorary title and The
privilege Of wearing a uniform" in
dicating the rank have been be-
slowed. but this daughter-in-law Of the
Danish house seems stirred by the
spirit OF the ancient Vikings.
That none may fail to know her love
for the sea, she has had n large an
Choir tattoed on her arm. This is
plainly in evidence when she dons her
sleeveless court and evening gowns.
Besides being one Of the most in
teresting of the Danish royal family,
the Princess Waldemar is OF the blu
est Of the blue-blooded, being a
daughter OF the house of Orleans.
Her husband, Prince Waldemar, is
commodore of the Danish navy, and
her second son is attending the naval
academy in order to fit himself for a
career aioat. 1t is said that his
mother takes as deep interest in his
studies as the young man does.
Through such association, as well
as through inclination, the princess has
become very familiar with everything
that concerns the navy. She wishes
to see the naval and commercial i'm
portance of Denmark increased. There
is not much chance for a considerable
augmentation of the navy, so she has
turned her attention to building up the
nations merchant marine.

abruptly, his ear catching a Singer at

Captain Marsh looked at him In pity,
and he might have put his commission
into words but for the young bloods at
the window, who, he knew, would re-
peat the conversation. He contented
himself, therefore, by saying rather
curtly, Il believe it goes some way.
And he turned stiffly to go out.
But the colonel had q last question

asked, Should / be most likely to n
