ftEW RAILWAY PROJECTS.
-'Those who. have held to the beTief
that ' railroad, construction- in . the
United; States . ha3 come to .an end 111
be surprised to learn, that over 13,000
miles .of new road are jnow unde con
tract or building, and that there are
in addition nearly 8,500 miles of what
are technically known as live pro
jects." No less an autliority than the
Railway Age, In an elabroate compila
tion, estimates . the . new mileage as
stated, and apportions the construe
.tion of the. lines by geographical ..di
visions. The greater portion -, ot : the
new mileage lie3 within the . borders
of the northwestern, sauth western and
Pacific coast states.' In fact, 61 par
cent, ot the 13,000 . miles under con
struction or contracted for is so situ
ated, while of the 8,500 miles of "live
projects".-which may or may not be
built, 65 per cent, is located in . the
same territory. Among the largest
single enterprises are the - Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul extension from
Kvarts, N. D., to Tacoma and Seattle,
Wash., . approximating 1,500 mile3 of
which 1,000 miles are now under con
tract; the .Western Pacific, on' which
a great deal of work has been accom
plished', from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco, 937 miles; the Denver,
Northwestern . & Pacific, from Sulphur
Springs, Col., to Salt Lake City, 470
miles..
Too much space would be required
to enumerate the individual exten
sions, etc., but an idea of the worK
may be gained when it is stated that
over two-thirds pf the 13,000 miles un
der contract are being built in the in.
terest of 38 companies an average cf
231 miles for each company. The fol
lowing table. show3 the geographical
distribution of new mileage:

Nothing more, illustrative .of the
trend ot development ' within the
United States than afforded by this
table could be wished. The older' por
tions of the country have complete J
their period of initial and secondary
railway construction, and it is unlike
ly that further competitive lines will
be built. .A great deal will be done in
the way of extra parallel tracking and
subsidiary . building, as, for instwice,
In the ,, case, of the , Pennsylvania,
which is completing Hi six-track sys
tem from New York to Pittsburg. , In
the newer, states, .however, the case
is different. Here we find the rail
roads reaching out, in response. to de.
mands for .setylce, in almost every di
rection,' even to. the extent ' of entire
new .trunk ' lines rivaling . in length

ent from New England only in the
sonse that, life is broader and freer.
even though quite as highly civilize!
When we get at the final analysis. of
things in tracing the prosperity of the
United States, the work pf the men
who are filling up the west, either as
settlers or as builders, looms large
and important.
SPORTS AND
Athletic
The question of who is the highest
salaried baseball player has often been
liscussed by fans.
but for reasons ia
hard one to set
tle, , '.i here are '
many who claim
that , Lajoi, cap
tain of the Cleve-
a n d A m e r lean
league team, and
admitted as being
jne of the greatest
players the .. game
lias . ever known,
beads the : list in.
in the matter of
salaries. Just how. LAJOIE.
much Lajoie draws down under his
contract is not known, but it is about
$7,500 a season, which is within $2,5 JO
of what the president of the. largest
bank in Germany gets a year, and ,i3
more than many American bankers re
ceive for an entire year. But the
Cleveland cJfcim that Lajoie's salary
la "the biggest" is denied In char
cities. Without burnishing the figures
to substaniate their assertions, ' Pitts
burg- declares that Fred Clarke re
ceives a higher salary than that called
for in Lajoie's contract, while the New
York Nationals maintain that John
McGraw, the scrappy one, is better
paid than the Cleveland Frenchman,
and the New York Americans would
have the fans believe that Willie Keel-
er is paid close around $3,000 per sea
son. There are other names famous ia
baseball annals to conjure with, and it
is declared by their partisans that
they also draw such princely stipends
that they hesitate to make the figures
public for fear of exciting national
envy. Certain it is tnat Jimmy Collins
gets his in large bunches and so like
wise does Christy - Mathewson and
Hans Wagner, not to mention several
others. That these baseball stars are
worth the money paid them Is shown
in two ways first, in their playing
and managerial ability, and second.
which ia- the "meat in the egg" 'to the
managers, their work drawing power.
Think of -the effect the announcement
that Mathewson is to pitch has upen
the fans whose money, supports the
game how they fill the cars leading
to the parks, almost fighting for the
best seats. Then compare the lack of
interest In the same fans when it Is
paid that John Doe from the Bushe3 is
to do' the twirling . The namas of the
;reat baseball stars , are valuable
drawing cards, Just as the name o"
Mansfield raises the. price in; theaters
where he is to appear.
THE COMPANY'S TAILOR.
Vf as Measuring- the Station Hands
for Their "Winter
Outfits.
A man was standing before a sta
tion one autumn afternoon, when a
bell clanged, and all the station em
ployes came running out and ar-
i tinged themselves in a neat line on
the platform, relates the Detroit Jour-
lal.
There was the ticket agent, the tele
graph operator, the baggage master.
and so on. They stood side by side,
their shoulders squared, their heads
thrown back like soldiers on parade.
And now a locomotive, drawing only
one car, dashed past.
It was an observation car, and on
the observation platform sat a small.
quick, nervous man. He had a table
before him, with pens and paper on It,
and as the train shot by the station
he regarded the men "sharply .and
made hurried notes. .
, "Who was he?" said the stranger to
the telegraph operator, after the train
-ras gone. "Some prominent official of
the line?"
"O, no," the man answsred. "That
was the company's tailor measuring
us for our winter suits." .
Agility of a Cow.
An emigrant's outfit, including
cow, was in a forward car of a Kan-
sas train, the emigrant himself being
in the cabboose. The train was mak
ing average time when . the man sud
denly ; exclaimed, ;whlle looking out of
ihe cabboose window; ',' "Why, there
is my cow," pointing to an animal
that stood glng beside the track.
The trainmen told him he must' be
mistaken, but he insisted that he was
right, and finally succeeded in having
the train stopped.. Going forward, the
door of the car was found open and
the cow gone. It was not-injured 'i
the' least by the fall , from the train,
and was grazing within ; a minute
after the time It struck the ground.

. . what Indifferent..
in. -. : '
Jiss May Sutton, present holder of
the all-England woman's lawn tennis
championship and
a former - Ameri
can- champion
will go to London
In July and defend
her claim .to the
English title. For
a time it was fear
ed that she would
be compelled " to
allow her title to
lapse,' but arrange
ments have been
c o n c 1 u d e d , by
which she will be
enabled to make
the trip. . Miss
MAY SUTTON. , ' Sutton, who. is i
Calif ornian, won the English cham
pionship last season by defeating Miss
D. K. Douglass, the defender, who
failed to win even one set in the chal
lenge match. Shortly before the match
the- English woman had wrenched her
right arm while at practice. It was the
opinion of the English followers of tte
sport that had their champion been in
the best of trim Miss Sutton would
have possibly fared differently. Ap
predating, the apparent cloud on her
title. Miss Sutton has made her plans
to visit London and defend the cham
plonship against the winner .of the
tournament on the Wimbledon courts.
Before sailing for England the Ameri
can girl has arranged to compete in
many of the eastern tournaments. In
this round of play she will be accom
panied by at least, two and possibly
three of her sisters, all of whom are
experts with the lawn tennis racquet.
It is expected that Miss Florence Sut
ton and Mrs. Bruce, a married sister,
will surely contest in several of the
meetings in Philadelphia and vicinity
in May and early in J"une. The three
who plan to visit Philadelphia hive
recently been playing in ihe early
tournaments on the Pacific coast,
notably those on the Coronado courts,
in' which they came through to the
finals, Miss May Sutton winning.
America's international lawn tennis
team will be composed of x-eals
Wright, rfalcombe Ward, Kreigh co'
lins and Raymond D. Little. This is
the quartette of ranking wielders ot
the racquet who will represent the
United States - this year in the ef ort
to regain the Dwlght F. Davis chal
lenge cup and return it to this coun
try. Their selection was announced by
the committee in charge of the chal
lenging team of this country. Wright
and Ward, who were on last year'
team, hold, the American doubles
chamnionshlc. while Wright is tn
holder of the singles title. Collins is
the western champion and Little Is
former Princeton title holder. .
The Pilgrim association football
tarn of England will visit the United
States again next fall and play a series
of .matches in New Yoek, Boston, Phi
aelphia, Detroit. Pittsburg, Chicago
and St. Louie. . According to present
p ans, the team will leave England
August 11' for Canada, where it will
play in Toronto, Montreal, : Ottawa,
Quebec and other cities.
H
It would seem,, indeed, from the con
dition of Shakespeare on our stage.
that we all got enough of him .c-
school, - writes. W. G. Parsons,' In ;.-t'
lan tic. A big noise is made 'on Lie
occasion of a big-priced production by
a big-advertised star, that the full
house refutes the charge that Ameri
cans do not love Shakespeare. . It doe$
no such thing. It refutes nothing but
the Supposition that Americans lave
juny thing so much as ' bigness. To
take the' monetary success of occa
sional and extraordinary pert ornsr
ances, appealing to our liking for the
unusual and the demonstrative, as iE-
dicative of love, suggests that we ntt
longer know what love Is. Love' 'el
Shakespeare on the Stage would meao
the success of frequnt, ordinary per-
formances in every town large enough
for a high school and a theater.' Such,
for instance, as the love of Wagner in
Germany. Or, again, of Shakespeare.
For it is not only in her own dramatist
but in. ours as well, that Germany cart
teach us what art-love is. The appre
ciation of Shakespeare is far more
general and genuine there than here.
The continuousness of his success, de
spite the frequency and mediocrity of.
the performances, despite the lack oS
all bigness and eclat, shows that it is
Shakespeare that is loved. But then.
what could one expect. The Ger
mans do not, like us, get enough of
him in school. 7

ABOUT PAMPERED STOMACH
From This Account One Should Net
Give In to a Weak Di
Even though It takes pork four hours
to leave the stomach and six hour3 to
be dissolved and absorbed in the small
intestine, what does that matter so
Jong as it is completely assimilated by
the end of that time, as it is in 90 per
cent, of all digestive canals? It is the
slowest but also one of the surest foods
that we have to give off all its energy
to the body. . Its very slowness is what
gives It its splendid . staying powers
for hard work, whether muscular or.
mental, writes Woods Hutchinson, M.
D., In McClure's Magazine.
As a matter of fact, I have seen
more cases of dyspepsia cured by the
use of breakfast bacon than by any
kind of drag or restricted diet , . '
An adult alimentary qanal s which
cannot digest bacon or ham is hot to
be regarded as healthy, and instead of
humoring and giving in to a weak di-.
gestion, It should be braced up and Un
der skilled supervision educated to take
what is given it and make no fuss.
Stomachs can. be spoiled by giving
them too little to do almost as easily
as by "giving,, them top. piuch. X healthy,
stomach, fit, toi.cope with the emer
gencies of life must be able to digest
not only that which is digestible," but"
much that is difficult of digestion, and
this is the standard which should be
aimed, at in dietetic therapeutics. . t
COLORADO HANGING LAKE.
Wonderful " Monument ' Reared by
Dame Nature in Her Own
- : - - - Honor; ' " ' " .''
Even -the least contemplative mind
cannot fail to be impressed upon .be
holding wonderful. ' Hanging Lake in
Colorado, a monument which nature
has reared In her own honor, and all
in her quiet way with, perhaps, not
even an - Indian - or a cliff-dweller to
applaud, writes George L. , Beam, in
Four-Track News. While mortals out
in the world have been struggling for
existence, while the Napoleons have
been carrying on wholesale murder,
while the Michael Angelos have been
painting, while the Shakespeares and
the Chaucers have been writing, while
the Sir Launcelots have been jousting
and the Neros misruling, - during all
these .periods in our civilization, high
up in the fastnesses of the - Reeky
mountains this silvery stream has been
peacefully pursuing Its way down its.
little gulch, tumbling over the rocks,
striking obstacles of fallen trees and
boulders, upon which it has depositee
its ever-increasing crust; forming its
peculiar basin, doing nature's bidding
In the production of this wonderful
monument; all seemingly for the ben
efit of those occasional visitors who at
the present day see fit to make the trip
up the Grand river canyon to the
"Hanging Lake."
- Quail with Chickens. '
Near the barnyard of Lit Lofland,
an Ohio farmer, an old quail hatched
her brood, and the entire family pro
ceeded to make itself at home with
the chickens. They .followed the fowls
around continually, but one day the
mother with 12 of her little ones dis
appeared,, leaving the thirteenth . alone,
and the quail, seemed to be as con
tented as though it were with the old
quail. Lofland"moved to another farm
recently, and the quail was cooped up
with the chickens and taken to its
new home, where .It enjoys life very
much. -'
Hurried Exit.
"Gladly would I die for you."
Her look of hateur was maintained
despite this plea. '
"You are in error," she replied, cold
ly;' "if you think the color -of your
hair constitutes my chief objection to
you."
The good-night was brief and soon.
