ON PENSION LIST.

The pension roll Of The Nash
vile, Chattanooga and ST. Louis
Railway bis almost reached one
hundred. 10 be exact, there are
now niDety-two names on the list.
These men, bene6ciaries Of the
pension system, are old and loyal
employees who are drawing pay
from the company although their
days Of active service are over.
To maintain/ this pensinn sys-
tenn, the road paid out last year
$4,000, which was an increase of
$4,000 over the previous year.
The pension system Of the N.
and @. is modelled after the sys-
TENS. in use by many Of the larger
Eastern lines and by some Of the
big industrial plants oftle country
and is designed to insure the faith
ful employee a competence when
the shadows begin to lengthen.
The size OF the pension depends
upon the length of service the en-
ployee has given and also upon the
amount Of salary he has been draw
ing for given number of. years
prior to his retirement.
The loyalty which these men
have for the road was demonstrate
ed in the recent threatened strike,
when they rendered their services
to the company in whatever capac-
ity they might be wanted in case Of
a tie-up of traffic.

The devil, who seeks to retard
by any and all means he can, the
progress Of this supremely felici-
ltous work of God, never sleeps on
his job. He is always awake and
alert to any opportunity to turn
people from the higher, nobler
things of life--keep them walking
in dreary shadows of sin and
shame.
He tried to turn Nehemiah away
from his divinely appointed work,
and is the same malignant foe to
-
God and man that he was in the
time of Nehemiah. He realizes
that as the wallis Of Gods spiritual
temple grows higher and higher,
greater and greater in circumfer-
ence, encircling and protecting
more and more the human family,
the nearer his rule of sin and
death draws to close.
Friend, you who have professed
to enlist under the banner of the
Christ, are you nobly persevering
like Nehemiah, assisting in every
way you can in this great work of
God, or are you sleeping on your
job like q lazy sluggard, sitting
idly by while Others nobly keep at
work? Remember that those who
do not assist in this grand and
noble work, will be cast out as un-
profitable servants.

able place for such things to be held
In a building of sufficient size indoor
golf indoor baseball on an outdoor
scale, tennis and other sports that are
popular in the city also could be in
dulged in all winter long, when the
structure was not being used for other
purposes.
The Dallas Idea.
And one of the principal arguments
in favor of a large stadium is that all
the progressive, up-to-date cities now
have them, and Topeka must fall in
line if she expects to keep in the pro-
cession.
In Dallas, Tex, plans have recently
been completed for the erection of a
stadium that will cost 100000 and
seat 10000 people, and this structure
is being planned solely for the pur-
pose of providing a place for the hold
ing of amateur sporting events.
For proof that such an enterprise is
valuable asset to a city. one only
has to go to Kansas City. Convention
Hall in Kansas City which, by the
destroyed soon after the holding of
it was built. But the structure had
proved such a valuable asset to the
city that it was deemed advisable to
rebuild it as soon as possible and it
was again completed in something like
three months. Convention Hall is
largely used for the holding of athletic
and sporting events. and it is largely
through the possession of such a place
that Kansas City has become known
as the center of amateur athletics of
the entire Middle West.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 11.-Final
tryouts for places on the Kansas Agri-
cultural college track team which is
to meet the Jayhawkers here Febru-
airy 81, have been held A preliminary
meet was held several weeks ago
The main hope of the college is cen
tered in "Duroc'' F'riZzell, captain of
this years team. He is expected to
take the firsts in the jumps and to
show some real stuff at the indoor
meet with K. L. "a week from next
Monday. Frizzell holds the college
records for the high hurdles, but this
year Vandenberg is showing up so
strong in the stick events that ''Duroc''
is now devoting the most of his en-
ergies to the jumps.
The following have been chosen to
represent the college in the Jayhaw-
ker meet:
Thirty-yard Observation-Disclosures and
Collier
Mile run-Bixby and E. Seeber.
Low hurdles-Wilder and Vanden-
berg.
High hurdles-Frizzell and Wilder
Quarter mile Turner, Holroyd
Granfleld and Essick
Half mIle-Wilder and Keys
Two miles-Teeter and Foreman
Shot put--Schaper and Dodderill.

can be under present local conditions,
because it is impossible for the posses
SOrs of them to wear their silks and
satins and stiff bosoms to a weather
beaten grandstand where the splinters
are thick, the dust and dirt thicker
and the chance of full dress shower
bath always a menace.
For Cattle Show.
With stadium of the proper dimen-
siOns Topeka could have an annual
cattle show that would rival the cattle
shows of Kansas City and Chicago and
that would bring visitors to the city
from all parts of the country. And it
is said that cattlemen of the state are
very DESTROYS of having such a show in
the state.
From the indoor ice skating fea-
ture, it seems that this is the only
plan that can be relied upon to give
Topeka skaters a guarantee of perma-
nent skating every winter. Those who
are posted on such things, state that
would be possible to have all of the
ice skating Topekans would desire for
several months during the winter
without going to any great expense.
With a concrete floor, or even a dirt
floor it would be an easy matter to
cover the surface with a coating of
ice during the first hard freeze, and
by protecting the ice with a little straw
when not in use it would last until
late in the spring. And then there
would be the possibility of making
artificial ice, but the general opinion
seems to be that this latter would be
too expensive an undertaking.
One of the principal reasons why
Topeka does not have indoor track
meets and one of the reasons why she
does not the final district basketball
tournament is because there is no suit

which was thrown open for boxing
for the first time in fourteen years.
Thorpe won only one round, the sixth,
in which he crossed five rights to
Whites jaw and had the Chicago boy
in distress. Throughout the other
nine rounds White kept his opponent on
the run and outfought him whenever
Thorpe fell into a clench. The latter
was handicapped throughout the bout
by blood from a cut over his left eye
which partly blinded him.
In a preliminary bout Grover Hayes
of Philadelphia and Jimmy Reagan Of
San Francisco, Hghtweights, mauled
through ten rounds to a draw. Jimmy
Hanlon, Denver featherweight, al
though outboxed in nine rounds, won
decision with Charley Arenson of

down in the eighth round of a ten

BOOST FOR SPORT
Fair Grounds Stadium Would
Put Topeka on the Map.
Would Make City Athletic Cen
ter OF Entire State.

Local lovers of indoor sports, as well
as boosters for Greater Topeka, should
be interested in the proposition made
by Phil Eastman and L. NJ. Penwell
to erect an immense stadium at the
fair grounds to he used for convention
purposes when the auditorium is of
insufficient size.
Aside from the need of such a struc-
ture for conventions, Topeka is badly
in need of a public place where other
events of equal importance could be
held.
From a standpoint of sport and
recreation alone, such a structure
would be worth all it would cost to
erect it, and would be one of Topeka's
best advertising assets. Here are
some of the many popular indoor. win
ter-time sports for which it could be
used:
Some of Its Uses.
Indoor track meets.
Indoor tennis. horse tennis etc.
Indoor golf on a larger scale.
Basketball meets, such as the district
meets
Indoor ice skating for several
months.
Wrestling. tug-of-war games etc.
Cattle shows. horse shows, etc.
Indoor baseball.
Not a single one of these events that
would bring people to Topeka and that
would furnish amusement and recrea-
ton to those already here is possible
without a structure of this nature, and
with one, it is highly probable that all
of them would flourish as they do in
every other live, up to date city in the
country.
of course there are those who say
Topeka already has famous show in
connection with the free fair. That is
true. But Topeka has no horse show
in the sense of the horse show that is
known to the larger cities where this
event is one of the big society oc-
casions Of the year and where the hui
man show feature of the program is
as important and as big an attraction
as the animal show is. And this never
