Reading writes the following interesting article on the "Old Santa Fe Trail" for the Locomotive Engin eers' Journal for August: While the Spanish were pushing their dominions northward the Pil grim fathers and those who succeed ed them were pushing out westward. As early as 1811 the young American republic resolved to spend a large sum of money to open up a wagon road from Cumberland, Md., to St. Louis, a distance of over 700 miles. Though never fully completed, this men in the various caravans number ed about 100. By 1843 the value of merchandise transported had Increased to $450, 000; the number of wagons to 230, and the number of men 350. The av erage time taken to move a wagon train loaded was about 50 days. The average time of return ing with wagons empty was 40 days. The Journey out ward was not only a tedious one but a very dan gerous one as well. While the "Pu eblo" or village Indians were well disposed toward the traders, there wprp trihpst nf uvavM ti-Vi r, u-ura road gave to St Louis the paramount rea(Jy at any Ume tQ aUack position of being the great collecting gmaI, party of traveler9( not ony plundering them of their goods but and distributing center between the east and the west. Thus the line of civilization reach ing northward and eastward from Mexico was nearing a similar line sent westward from the Atlantic, but between the two there was a vast expanre of forest land, which was not to be effectually bridged over murdering them in a manner most atrocious. Many of the early traders gave up their lives to the hostile Indians, and many more massacres were only avoided by the formation of large, well armed caravans.

Primaries of ull parties, to nominate state tickets, are being held throughout Missouri to day. Reports received from many points state that u heavy vote is be ing cast. The prlucipal contest Is over the democratic gubernatorial nomination, Governor Joseph Folk having retir ed from the field to make a race for United States senator against Sen ator Stone.- William S. Cowherd of Kansas City and David A. Ball of Pike county are the principal con tenders for the governorship. Both have enthusiastic followlngs and have waged hot campaigns in every sec tion of the state. Unprejudiced ob servers declare that Cowherd appar ently enters today's primary In the lead In popular favor, although It is admitted that the race will be close. The republican nomination for governor will undoubtedly go to Her bert S. Hadiey, who has made a bril liant record as attorney general of Missouri. Republican leaders assert .that they have a good chance of suc cess In the November election, and that with lladley as their standard bearer they will give the democrats the hottest race they have ever known. William S. Cowherd, who Is appar ently the favorite In the democratic gubernatorial' race. Is a native of Missouri and a graduate of the Uni versity of Missouri. He has served one term as mayor of Kansas City and has represented his district In congress for four consecutive terms. "Dave" Ball, the man from Pike county who Is Cowherd's rival for the nomination, also has a long polit ical record to his credit. Congress man "Champ" Clark has supported Ball, and this has added to his strength. Cowherd's managers are claiming today that their candidate will come to this city with 25,000 majority and that he will carry St. Louis by a large majority. The Ball boomers are more modest In their claims, but declare that their candidate Is assured of the nomination. This is the first test of the new state primary law in Missouri, under which the state nominating con vention Is a thing of the past. Un der the law, however, conventions of the nominees of all parties must be held In Jefferson City a month from today, September 4, to formulate the usual state platforms. Although -the senatorial fight does not enter Into today's primaries ,the friction between the supporters of Senator "Gum Shoe Bill" Stone and Governor Folk has added Interest to the contest. Although the nomina tion for United States senator will not be made until the general elec tion in November, a virulent warfare Is already in progress. The old charges of bribery against Stone are being revived. In connection with the famous statement of a well known raljroad lobbyist who declared that "We both suck eggs, but Stone hides the shells." Folk's Platform. Governor Folk, who Is seeking Stone's toga, has acquired a national reputation as a reform executive, and his supporters are confident that he will be elected to fill the seat of the "gum shoe" statesman in the upper branch of the national legislature. Senator Stone has appealed to the democrats of the state to refrain from acrimony during the campaign, in order that the democracy of the state may be saved from a bitter .cliff- organizing personal strife such as was recently carried on In Kentucky and Tennessee. "Let us fight republl cans, not each other," Is Stone's ap peal to his supporters. Stone has made many speeches In various parts of the state within the past few weeks in support of his ambition to be returned to the sen ate. He has touched UDon all na tional questions, denouncing the pol icies of the republicans and branding the Aldrlch-Vreeland currency bill as a "hypothlcated monstrosity." Governor Folk has entered the sen atorlal race on his record as chief executive of Missouri and premises, if elected, to give his support and In fluence to the various reform meas ures whose advocacy have made him a national figure. The Way of Womankind. Women are Indefatigable In their analysis of conduct A man accepts a white ray of light for what It Is; a womitu passes It through a prism and resolves It Into Its component rays. If I pass Mrs. A. In the street without salutlug her she conjectures a dozen painful motives to account for my nb- sentmrndedness. If she passes me I conclude that she Is shortsighted or nb- sentmlnded. If I say to my niece Molly that 2 and 2 make 4 she consents, but Is uncon vlnced. But If I show her this little formula-lVi-Bil:iVi--8ue Is at once all alive with Interest and sits down to work It out and proclaim In triumph that It Is so. From a hard and dull statement of the fact It has become a problem and an Intrigue, and here she Is In her element. That Is the way of womankind In all relations to life. "Comments of Bag shot" This Makes It Vary Plain. The meaning of the word "swastika" Is "It Is well," or good lock. The mean ing of the symbol Is more complex. Some folks trace It to the sun. . 'The emblem Is the sun In motion," argued Professor Max Muller. "A wheel with spokes was actually re placed by what we now call swastika. The swastika Is, in fact, an abbreviat ed emblem of the solar wheel with spokes In It the tire and the move ment being Indicated by the cramprus "It Is the summary In a few lines of the whole work of creation," said Mme. Blavatsky; "Is evolution, as one should say, from cosmotheogony down to an- thropogeny, from the Indivisible un known to materialistic science, whose genesis Is as unknown to that science as that of the all Deity Itself. The swastika Is found heading the religious symbols of every old nation." The Defect In His Dressing.

Oue day In the course of a clinical demonstration be turned to a student who bad Just commenced bis studies with the question: "Now, sir, can you tell me what is wrong with my dressing?" ' The Ingenuous youth turned red and preserved n discreet silence. The pro fessor, however, wns not to be put off and repeated the question. After a long pause the youth stammered out In a fit of desperation: "Well, sir, If you Insist on my telling you, I should say your lie Is not quite straight" London Globe. A Boon to Elderly People.
