He had about a hundred yards to
run, and he determined to reach that
goal or die. One Of his teammates ran
toward him and shrieked. The runner
put on an extra burst of speed. 1t was
very encouraging to be applauded by
players and spectators alike.
Presently he heard feet pounding
heavily behind him. But he felt conf
dent he could never be caught. The
ground sped by under his feet. and the
ten yard marks were passed as though
they were but few inches apart.
Only a few more yards, and then
fame!
But for all the runners speed the
pounding feet behind him drew stead
lily closer. The man carrying the ball
heard them with dismay.
He leaped, he bounded. he fairly
flew, he was there! -
When both runners were but one
yard from the goal posts the pursuer
hurled himself forward. clutched the
runner viciously about the knees, and
both crashed heavily to the ground.
Too late. however, for they had fallen
over the goal line.
The runner picked himself up, aching
in every limb, turned proudly toward

mony. But there was one point upon
which he sorrowed not little. His
wife could not make edible corn bread,
and corn bread was the food upon
which he was reared.
One day a girlhood friend of the wife
visited her and, after assisting in the
preparation of luncheon, accepted IN
invitation to stay and eat It with the
newlyweds. The husband arrived, and

band whose wife can't cook" he said
apologetically to the guest. "Just have
a look at that corn bread. But you
mustn't let the wife know what said,
for it would hurt her feelings"
When the wife entered the room a
few moments later she noticed that a
deep blush suffused the guests face.
"Why, what is the matter. dear?" she
asked.
Its nothing" the guest replied hur-
riedly.
An hour later, after the husband had
gone to the Office, the chorus of two
laughing women's voices merrily re-
sounded through the household of the
newlyweds.
But the wife has not yet told the
husband that her guest made the corn
bread on that day she stayed for lunch

cause she considered herself an adept

WORK ON SHOPS
Construction of Improvements
Begun by Santa Fe.
Expects to Have Them Com
pIeted by August 1.

Construction of a new crane runway
and blacksmith shop extension at the
local Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
shops has been started by contractors
in charge of the work. Contracts for
the structures were let recently fol-
lowing an appropriation of s150,0OO
for improvements in the Topeka repair
shops. The shop extension will oe
completed by August 1, it is expected.
A temporary building to house a
$4,000 forging machine, purchased
recently by the road, was completed
Thursday afternoon. A furnace and
motor will be installed next week, and
the forging machine will be put into
operation by May /, according to
plans of Superintendent NJ. j. Drury.
The new blacksmith shop extension in
which the forging machine will be
located will be built about the ma
chine. The temporary structure will
be taken out following completion of
the new building.
The new forging machine, which is
said to be the largest of it's kind in
the country will be devoted princi-
pally to the conservation of car axles
The Santa Fe has been purchasing
various sizes of axles Hereafter, only
the largest size will be purchased and
as they outlive their usefulness, they
gradually will be reduced by the ma
chine until they can no longer be
brought down. The machine will be
used also in making various other
heavy forgings.

JAPS IN PROTEST
Resent Bill Providing Exclu-
sion of Asiatic People.
Still Hold California Alien
Land Law Against e. s.

Washington, April 21.-Viscount
Chinda. the Japanese ambassador,
conferred with President Wilson to-
day over the provision of the pend
ing immigration bill, which proposed
to enact into. law the so-called gen
tlemen's agreement restricting the
immigration of Japanese laborers. A
memorandum on the subject has been
presented to the state department.
The proposed inclusion in a law of
an informal agreement which Japan
has promised on honor to fulfill, ac-
cording to the agreement between for
mer Secretary Root and former Am
bassador Takahira, is understood to be
repugnant to the Japanese govern
ment. Other proposed Asiatic exclu-
sion features in the bill, as it has
passed the house and has been re-
ported to the senate, are to be the
subjects of objection for many obvi-
Gus reasons. The attitude of the ad-
ministration is said to be one of dis
inclination to irritate the situation be-
tween Japan and the United States,
that has been smouldering since the
the California anti-alien land law ne
gotiations went into an indefinite
stage three years ago this summer.
Administration officials are not I'M
mindful of anti-Asiatic sentiment in
congress, particularly among mem
bers from the Pacific coast states. and
constant endeavor has been made to
anay it.
The United States never has replied
to Japan's last note on the California
land law
one portion of the bill which is
understood to draw the resentment of
the japanese government is the in
clusion by inference, at least, of jap
anese in the excluded class with Hin
dus, although the same paragraph in
the bill excerpts from the exclusion
such as are covered in existing agree
ments This phrase refers to the
Root-Takahira agreement.
Cabinet Considers Protest.
After todays cabinet meeting it be-
came known that two memoranda
have been presented to the state de-
partment- The first referred to similar
representations made a year ago. when
the immigration bill was pending and
the second brought up some new
points.
The question will be taken up bv
President Wilson with senate and
house leaders and it is expected an
agreement probably will be reached
that will avoid difficulty The uues-
ton has been discussed tentatively
Administration leaders say they ex-
pect no real difficulty.

Americans are carrying back to the
United States shows that Carranza's
government has, roughly, about $4,000
Indian troops, giving about $50 cart
ridges to the man if the ammunition
were to be equally distributed among
the various pickering so-called consti-
nationalist armies.
Bankrupt Also.
OF the sinews of war the de facto
government has little or nothing. 1t
is bankrupt. 1t has perhaps 100000
to 1O.OOO,OOO pesos The munitions
factory recently set in Mexico City can
make only about 5000 defective cart
ridges daily and a few hundred equal
ly bad shells. A miscellaneous assort-
ment of worn out old-fashioned field
pieces mostly of three-inch caliber
and few hundred machine guns COM
plete the inventory of Carranza's pre-
paredness.
The outgoing Americans also will
tell their people in the United States
that every anti-American manifesto
ton to date has been inStigated and
directed by government officials, act
ing under orders from Queretaro and
subsequently from Mexico City-that
no demonstrations and uprisings oc-
cur in Mexico these days without ex-
plicit orders from and direction by the
so-called authorities.

festations. the employees keep away,
fearful that they will be seized for the
army, and, besides, they are unsympa-

ness, as Special Representative James
l. Rodgers has informed Washington.
How Rodgers on one occasion called
Carranza's bluff also will be told to
the American people by their home
coming countrymen. This took place
during his second interview with the
first chief.
The topic was the request of the
United States that American troops be
allowed to use the Chihuahua rail-
ways.
In Rodgers's first interview with
Carranza after he came to Queretaro
to succeed Uncle john Silliman, he
received distinct oral assurances from
Carranza that the United States forces
would be permitted unrestricted use
of the railways. Subsequently, Rodg-
ers received written memorandum
from the foreign office permitting

for his hat and stick.

Foreign Minister Aguilar, but it shall

some surprise among union men as

the request recently made by the four
brotherhoods upon the Association Of

the case.
