She doesn't call out that she eX-

to look out for his health. She knows
that he was out in a draught in his
shirt sleeves, but she doesn't even
mention it. On the contrary, she re-
marks:

then lie down. You'd better gargle
your throat and then tie it up"
DO you think it's anything seri-

Mr.. Bowser, and he grows so weak

erything about the house is ordered to
go on tiptoe and even the cat is put
out and the clock stopped. After his
throat mas been tied up, his shoes
taken off and a quilt thrown over him.
Mr.. Bowser plaintively inquiries:

Then she called in a neighbor to
ask over the wire:

Bowser?"
What do you mean?" was asked.

Santa Fe's Unclaimed Freight
Depot Is Rich i'm History.
First Office Building of the
Great TranScOntinental Line
WAS ERECTED IN EARLY DAYS
The Entire Force Then Includ.
ed but Is Men.
OF All These, Patrick Walsh
Alone Remains at Work.

The morgue of a tranScontinental
railway system is the Santa Fe I'M
claimed freight depot, southeast cor
ner of East Fourth and Washington
streets. Here, like the unknown dead
of great city is placed the unclaimed
and damaged freight of the Santa Fe.
And as a mOrgue is place of lost
Identities so is the old depot a build
ing of lost memories. There are but
few men living who can tell the stories
of pioneer railroading enacted within
it's walls. Built in the latter part of
the sixties, it served for years as the
Santa Fe. When it was erected the
road operated about 100 miles of track
with the main line between Topeka
and Newton.
Although few people know that such
a building exists. it is perhaps one of
the most historical in the railroad
world. Strange and startling are
many of the feats of railroading it
has witnessed for startling indeed was
the policy of pioneer railroading in
the west when the shining rails were
only beginning to creep toward the
setting sun.
When the building was erected the
entire office force Of the road did not
exceed fifteen men-the heads of the
departments included. Then it was
have the distinction of being COM
PEELED to sweep the floor of his office
or empty waste baskets. Had the
president of the road not lived in Bos-
ton and given orders by mail he, too,
would have been forced to act as his
own office boy
When the building was used as the
general offices of the road 7. ]. Peters
was general manager. w. w. Pagan,
now retired and living at Olathe. was
general superintendent. A. A. Robin
son, retired, was chief engineer of the
infant road. James Moore, also re-
tired, was paymaster. Moore was the
first paymaSter the road ever had and
until year or SO ago he held the
distinction of being the only one.
agent of the Santa Fe with offices in
the Jackson street office, is one of
the few men who knew the old depot
and is still in active service. Like
James Moore, Walsh is the only man
who has held one job since he entered
the service. He came to the Santa Fe
in the early days as general baggage
agent and remains in that capacity.
However" smiled Walsh in COM
menting upon his unique distinction;
there is a good deal of difference in
my job now. 1t has grown for me.
In 1872 we handled $500 pieces of
ba ggage. Last year the number was
more than 2,110,00o."

H.,
agent.
More than half of the aforemen-
toned men have passed to the be-
yond. And the old building, weather.
beaten and deserted save for a few
freight truckers is still standing a
silent monument to the men who raw
hided great railroad through its in
fancy. In the sixties and seventies the
Santa Fe was a Shaky proposition.
Little time did these men have for
dreams of the future.
Often the most optimistic thought
the road would strangle during the
first years of it's existence for want
of finance and patronage. However,
If there were any dreams of the flu
ture among these o1d-timers they have
more than become a reality.
The old building still stands much
the same as it was in the early days.
1t is a two-Story frame affair. Only
one part has been torn away. That
was a half story affair on the rear
where a man name Jeffr1es kept an
eating house until the days of Fred
Harvey. In the eighties it was aban-
doned and the general offices were
moved to the present site of the Null
vane building, Sixth and Kansas ave-
nue.. Later the offices were moved to
their present site on jackson street
The railroad now utilities the build
ing for an unclaimed freight depot
in which to hold freight until it is
claimed or until the sale time limit
expires. After freight has been in
storage the required length of time it
is sold. This policy is famous as the
only one of its kind among railroads
of the country. In it Santa F'e Of
ficials believe they have solved far
as possible the unclaimed freight
problem which is regarded by many
roads as a white elephant. Harry c.
Pribble, general claim agent, is in
charge of the storehouse. Harry ST.
John handles the work under Mr..
Prtbble'S direction.
Almost any time of the year any
thing, from a paper of pins to thresh-
ing machin.s, can be found at the old
depot For the disposal of the goods
sales are made every few months.
