Washington, June Sin presenting
to the senate his final plea In support
of the election OF senators by direct
vote of the people, Senator Rayner,
Of Maryland, once more paid his re.
spects to former President Roosevelt.
lie marveled at the colonel's "pecu'
liar gift and talent OF getting on and
on platforms. So quickly does he
change, said the speaker, II is utterly
impossible for the human mind to
keep track of him in his evolutions.
lie expressed the hope that senators
would not consider for a moment that
he was unfriendly TO the eXpresident.
saying that he was on the contrary
very fond of him.
Speaking of platforms, the senator
from Maryland continued:
The ex-president can make
speech on the platform Of a railroad
train where the stations are only
mile apart, and recant at one sta
ton what he had said at the station
he had just passed; he can recon-
mend the selection Of a progressive
senator in one state and then with
equal vehemence indorse an extreme
conservative in another; he can stand
upon two political platforms each radi'
cally differing from the other and
then deny that he stood upon either
OF them; he can c0quet with both po-
litical parties and then start party
OF his own. whose doctrines and prin-
ciples consist OF an incOherent medley
of unconstitutional impossibilities; he
can stand before an intelligent au-
dience of 5000 people and tell them
how at the dead OF night upon the
borders OF an African jungle. upon the
banks of a river that never had any
existence, when no one was with him,
he encountered and slaughtered
NEUROLOGICAL animal that God had
never created and receive the widest
plaudits for the miraculous perform.
ance Of his impossible accomplish
ment"
Referring to conversation on the
recent rate bill he had held with Col
onel Roosevelt when the latter was
president, Senator Rayner said the
president had expressed delight that
their views conceded and said:
Now stand to your colors. Do you
recall what Colin Campbell said 10
his Sutherland Highlanders at Bala-
kiaya." Senator Rayner had recalled
the quotatoion. Men. there is no
place to retreat from: you must die
where you stand.
The president had cOmplimented
him on his memory and assured him
that II necessary they would die to-
gether," but the next day when the
vote was taken. the senator added. he
died in his tracks. but saw President
Roosevelt holding aloft the colors OF
the opposition.
"He had slipped away during the
night" said Rayner.

while waiting to get positive
evidence as to whether the checks
with which they Sere playing

one of the men threw over 81 and
the mar running the game gave
him checks in return for the

attempted to appear unconccrned.
But in the midst of all this fury of
nature one little woman sat cool,
calm and collected. She did not
appear to notice that anything out
of the ordinary was happening.
Now and then she raised her eyes
from the book that seemed to
absorb her, glanced around the

she was a teacher in 6 primary

HIGHEST RAILWAY

To the question. (which is
the highest railway in the world?"
the answer is-the Central Rail-
way of Peru. In other words.
the highest point reached by any
railway line is touched by this
road, where the altitude of rails
reaches. 1866 feet above sea
level. To reach this point from a
sea level the line passes through
fifty-seven tunnels over a dozen
principal bridges and utilzes thir-
teen switch backs, but has no
gradient up to AZ per cent, nor
does it resort to rack propulsion.
A hand a started at Ticlio will run
unaided to Callao, the seaport and,
as a matter of fact, such a car,
equipped with safety breaks, runs
before each passenger train, carry
ing an Inspector on the lookout
for fallen rocks or other danger.
Ticlio. above referred to is the
highest station in the world, with
an altitude of 1865 feet.
The next highest line in the
world is that from Antofaeasta,
Chile, to Oruru and La Paz,
Bolivia. This line has also the
distinction of being the narrowest
gauge line Ito and n half feet)
for such a long distance. The
highest point is at C%ollahuasi,
where the altitude is $500 feet,
fifty-six feet lower than the Peru
van line.-New York Press.
