What the Track Costa.

Few persons know that on a railway line like the Santa Fe it costs nearly as much to renew ties ($935,000 yearly) as is paid to station agents and station clerks; that the annual repairs of roadway and track ($2,350,000) exceed the salaries of trainmen and traffic clerks; that the renewal of rails ($626,000) costs almost as much as the telegraph service; that watchmen and track-walkers draw nearly as much money ($137,000) as is paid out for stationery and printing; that the item of rail fastenings ($250,000 a year) exceeds the expense of legal service. But it pays to have the track just right

Have Laugh on Champ Clark.

They are having a laugh on Champ Clark in Washington. A New Yorker told the Missouri congressman that the only real people lived on Manhattan Island. Champ snortingly replied: “Why, you are the most provincial people in the country. You don’t know anything about the United States. Hardly a man you knows anything about Missouri, but let me tell you there are mighty few Missourians who don’t know New York.” For a minute or so Champ did not realize why everybody laughed.

Would Cut Singers' Salaries,

Walter Damrosch and Maurice Grau are arguing as to the best way of managing grand opera companies. The former urges that the theaters are too big, to which Mr. Grau retorts with smaller houses it would be impossible to pay salaries and expenses. To this Damrosch replies: “Reduce the capacity of the theater and cut salaries proportionately." He has no fear of singers refusing to accept the smaller compensation.

Could Not Be Called Housewife.

“And so you are married, Jack,” said dear old Aunt Polly. “I hope she is a good housewife.” “Well," replied Jack Ritchie, “she’s been a good fashionable hotel wife most of the time since our wedding.”—Philadelphia Press.
