I-.U..-I ' " USVVIUCaK , OLD WESTERN TRAILS. Grent Transcontinental Hnllwnya Now lttin Over The in. The early explorers nud pioneers of tho western part of tho United States made tho paths thaturo now the great railway highways of conuncrcc. Tho old trails of the plains, deserts and mountains and the routes of the pres ent transcontinental railways aro close ly associated, as In the grenter num ber of cases tho big Western railroads followed the course of tho wagon tracks of fifty years ago. When the American colonies wero declaring "their Independence of Great Britain the "old Spanish trail" wnB being laid out by a party under the command of Francisco Silvester Velez Kscnlante, In tho Inter est of tho SpauIshxmlssIous In Califor nia. This expedition left Santa Fe In July, 1770, and after traveling over whnt Is now known as tho San Junn country, reached u spot whero Grand Junction, Colo., an Important present-day rail way center Is locntcd. From there the party "trailed" to Salt Lake, and from thero to Los Angeles, Cal. Tho new Denver and Northwestern Railroad and tho Salt Lake and Los Angeles lino will closely follow much of this old Spanish trail. The Union Pacific Railroad runs over tho old Plutte-Ovorland route from Omaha to Ogden, nnd tho Atchison, Topekn and Santa Fe follows for ninny hundreds of miles the. old Santa Fe trail, while In Arizona tho same road touches at many points the southern overland trail. Tho Santa Fo trail runs through tho Raton Mountains (soutfiern spurs of the Rocky Moun tains In New Mexico), nnd tho engi neers who built the Santa Fo Railroad found mnny problems solved In the way of mountain railway construction by simply following tho trail of tho Spaniards of many years ago. Thero nro still to bo seen along thle trail Spaulsh houses that wero built In tho tlmo when thnt pnrt of tho country was within Mexican territory, while thero arc also many roadhouscs that fifty years ago dispensed cheer nnd comfort to tho weary travelers who crossed the plnlus and mountains for tho precious yellow metal. Tho Rio Grnudo system follows the trails mndo by Gunnison in 1803-51. Tho Colorado Southern, from Fort Col lins to Trinidad, Colo., runs along the trail between Fort Laramlo nnd' Fort Union, and tho Oregon Short lino Is built along tho Oregon "trail from Salt Lake to Columbia. Tho Central Pa cific, now owned by the Southern Pa cific,' runs from Ogden to San Fran cisco by a route thnt mauy years ago was traveled by Spaniards and Indi ans, ncrofjH tho northern end of tho Great American desert nnd through tho beautiful Sierra Nevada Moun tains. From tho snow-capped summit of tho Sierra Nevada Mountains to tho green fields around San Francisco Is a ques tion of eight hours by tho fast overland limited on tho Southern .Pacific, .and along tho routo may still bo seen tho pnth or trail that years ago required many days of work nnd danger suc cessfully to traverse. From Denver to Salt Lake City the Denver nnd Rio Grande Railroad follows old trails and the Grand River, nlong which the wan dering Mormons plodded on their way to the, hoped-for haven of rest. Roth tho Rock Island and Union Pacific, sayB tho Now York Tribune, follow ancient trails, and tho big Rock Island bridge nt Omaha crosses tho Missouri River from Council Rluffa nt a 'Kiut whero tho wealth seekers from tho East, with their families, live stock aud prairie schooners, used to ford tho muddy stream. PENETRATING AMMUNITION. Air of West Point Hod u t'ccullur Odor One MornliiK. At West Point, among , so many young men full of health nud animal spirits, It Is Inevitable that there should bo plenty of Jokes uroot, oven to the extent of pranks constituting breach of discipline. A favorite form of mis chief consists in tampering with the gun. Once ut least, according to II. Irving Huncock, the reveille gun was loaded with a peculiar kind of am munition. When tho senary com.es In from guard duty t night, he finds coffee and sandwiches In tho teut which serves as cadet guurd house. As It Is not easy to gage his appetite, thero Is generally a liberal supply of the sandwiches. An olllcer and u member of the' board of visitors wero walking one morning beforo reveille. Tho ottlcer was dila ting upon the wouderful air ut West Point. Suddenly the reveille gun was Ured, and both gentlemen began to sniff. "Marvelous air?" said the visitor. "1 should cull It peculiar." "It does seem strange," admitted the ortleer. "It smells like like-like fried ham!" "Precisely. Hut who is cooking it?" It was too early for breakfust In any of the houses at the officer's quarters, und besides, the odor seemed to come from the plulu "This must be looked into!" muttered tho olllcer. "Suppose we take a wulk over the plain." A fragment of scorched ham was found in the grats, then a piece of bad ly made toast, then more ham and more toast. A trail of fried ham and toast extend ed for an eighth of a mile. Some cadet had loaded the gun with candwlches, rammed them down under newspaper wadding, and awaited the event, No one ever discovered who thnt frolic some cadet was.

Tho falie teeth, Of course, cannot bo told from natural ones, nnd tho person using them can do everything ho, or the, could do With natural toeth.
