Tying Up Elephants

In Ceylon the natives capture wild ele-
plants by lassoing them and tying their
hind legs to trees. Thus tied. they are left
to struggle for four or five days. If the
ropes be well secured and knotted the ami
mails struggle in vain, for they are unable
to exert their full strength toward getting
free. When they have grown tired of the
fruitless fight they are tied by the neck
between two TAME elephants and marched
off to the tea plaptations or the railroads,
where they are put to work. Under, the
tuition Of tame elephants they, learn rapidly
to perform the labor that is required of
them and soon are able to lay railroad ties
accurately.

TO PAY IN CHECKS
No More Cash From Santa Fe
Cashiers Office.
General Office Payroll VIII Be
Changed at Once.
HELP CLEANING HOUSE
Nearly $4,000 q Month Di-
verified to Uity's Showing.
New Order Takes Effect Next
Pay Day, November /.


The Topeka clearing house receipts
will be increased by a sum of $4,000
a month and a new pay day among the
merchants will be declared, following
the announcement today by the Santa
Fe that this road will paw in checks
to the employees of the general Offices.
Until this new policy takes effect, be-
ginning the first of November, the
Santa F'e has cashed the checks of the
employees.
The pay roll of the Atchison. To-
peka & Santa Fe at the general office
building amounts to nearly $4,000 a
month For several yeats it has been
customary for the cashier to cash pay
checks on the first day of each month
as q matter of convenience to the en-
ployees.
The big increase in the number Of
employees in the general offices and
the occupancy of the new general Of
flee building off from the old building
and the office of the treasurer E. L.
Copeland, has made it necessary for
the change in payments. With $50
employees in the new building and 400
in the old building, the old methods of
paying out checks would be a waste
OF time and an Inconvenience to the
employees.
Under the old system the employees

the cashiers window receiving money

the Santa Fe gladly paid the en-
ployees in gold. Now with the new
building off from the old building and
connected by only two ''chutes," the
work of an office would be impaired
to a great extent by the absence of
the employees for such a length of
time.
We want the employees to get ac-
quainted with the banks and the mer-
chants, said e. L. Copeland, secre-
tary and treasurer of the road this af-
ternoon. we will pay the employees
in checks and I am sure that the
merchants and bankers will he only
too glad to cash them.
Owing to the increase in the num-
Der of employees in the two general
office buildings and the distance of
those in the new building from the
cashiers office, it has been decided to
relieve the extra work in that office
and permit each employee to either
deposit the check to his credit at the
bank or use in paying monthly bills
among the merchants, at time outside
of office hours.
This arrangement will be adopt
ed Nov. LIST. and the cashier will not
be in position to cash the checks as
heretofore"
1t is figured by the Santa Fee treas
urer that the Topeka business men
will keep their stores open the even
ing of the first of the month. The sys-
tenn of paying in checks is practiced
at the shops where $500 men are
employed and where the pay roll
amounts to $4,000 a month. The
check policy is used on practically all
other railroads in the country.
