1t should need no long discussion to
convince parents that, if they want
their children to be honest and
straightforward. they must be the
same in dealing with their
little ones. Children are such arrant
imitators that it behooves their ell
ders to set the best example for t.hsm
in speech and action.

WHISTLES ron ms WIFE.
Frisco Engineer SaIutes Her Grave
Near Wichita.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 3.-Twenty
wears ago as Mrs. w. A. Brown was
living. She asked her husband, who
was a Frisco engineer. to whistle four
times every time he went by Maple
Grove cemetery. His engine whistles
four times whenever it comes in from
the east He has another run but
comes to Wichita once every year to
whistle as his wife requested
The engineer has a run that gives
him no chance to whistle at the ceme-
terv. When he comes to Wichita he
rides out to the cemetery on a switch
ing goat" He pulls the whistle cord
four times. then comes back.
Brown married the woman who is
sleeping in the quiet city years ago.
when he was young and fred with
the ambition to make the best engl-
neer in the service. His wife, an en-
thusiastic young woman, thought so
much of "Bin' that she would go with
him on his run. She worked with him
and planned as carefully as he for his
success as engineer.
With her help "Bill' climbed high
er until he had a run into Wichita.
When things were looking brightest
for them, Mrs. Brown died. Her last
request to broken hearted BILL" who
watched her slip away from him at
every weakening heart beat, was that
he whistle four times whenever he
passed the cemetery
"Bill' has kept his promise.

NEW PROBLEMS FOR WALLETS.
Necessary to Lengthen Passing Tracks
for santa Fe Monster Trains.

Nearly every day officers of the Santa
Fe in Topeka are confronted with a
new problem in connection with the OPP
freight locomotives placed in service in
the last few months. 1t has come to
their attention now that it will be nes-
essary to lengthen passing tracks all
along the western lines in order to ac-
commodate the immense trains pulled
by the Mallets.
In the first place it was necessary to
enlarge the rOundhouses. Then came a
strengthening of the bridges This was
followed by longer passing tracks and
many other additional features along
the line of operation.
Soon it viii be necessary, railway men
are predicting, for the engineers to be
provided with telescopes that they
might see The rear end of their train.
And conductors will send up sky
rockets for signals.

PERUNA not only promptly relieves

FUN PROMISED AT MEETING.
Every Subject Discussed in Baseball
to BE Acted Upon.

New York, Jan. 3.-Thomas j,
Lynch, president of the National
league, has gone to Cincinnati to at
tend the annual meeting of the ma
tional baseball commission, which he
said promised to be the most impor-
tant held in years. A session lasting
until Saturday was in prospect. he
said, because of the great amount of
business to come before the body. Mr.
Lynch thought it hardly likely that
there would be any opposition to the
concessions demanded by the National
association, which are to come up for
action.
A finding by the commission on the
worlds series ticket scandal in New
York and Philadelphia is one of the
possibilities of the meeting, according
to the National league president.
President Lynch said that his sigma
ture and that of President Johnson of
the American league, would be affixed
to the schedules of the two big
leagues for 1912, drafted at the re-
cent joint meeting of the schedule
committee at French Lick Springs,
Indiana.
Another important matter will be
threshing out the Roger Bresnahan-
Murphy episode. Bresnahan insists
that Murphy used language to him at
the New York meeting Of the National
league that calls for a public apology.
over Bresnahan's Refused to waive
claim on First Baseman Safer of the
Chicago Nationals.
The schedules, which were made up
at French Lick Springs last week. are
ready for adoption and these will be
signed by the league presidents and
announced.
Many minor league magnates will be
here to take a hand in the adoption of
the new rule, creating a class IA for
minor leagues. 1t is proposed, and
there is hardly a doubt but what the
proposition will carry to put the In
ternational league. the American as
sociation and the Pacific Coast league
in this new classification. Some little
antagonism is expected, however, from
both the Southern and Western
leagues.

mission also is on the program
