money can rush it and,This will soon
be completed, judging by the rapid
progress which is being made.

Waco, and with tlie installation cf
the new service and a little later the
service to Comanche will mean great
things for everybody concerned.”

will scon be further extended to
Comanche, after which the directors
will take up the pending proposition
to extend from Comanche either to

SENATOR ROOT’S ATTITUDE.
Fully Explained In a Little Note to.the
Vice President.
Senator Root, former secretary of
stale, is given to writing little per
solllll notes to friends when lie is
weary of the tedium of any forinai
body Cf w hic h lie is a member. When
lie was ai The Hague last summer as
attorney in the fisheries nrbitralacu
he penned inany of these missives to
ills associate. Samuel J. Eider of Bus
ion, such ns, "Sam. keep an eye- on
the clock."
There is a certain western senatoi-
wlm talks so much Unit lie wears Hi ■
senate to a frazzle. One day last ses-
sion this senator was making his sixth
or seventh speech of tile afferricm i.
Senator Hoot I teen me absorbed in con-
versation'with tin* late Senator Clay
of Georgia. It was such an audible
conxersatitm ns to Ice stric tly against
tlie rules. Vice President Sherman
rapped sternly for order and at Iasi
caught Senator Root's eye. whereupon
the conversation ceased.
A few minutes later a page handed
a note up to the vice president's desk
It was front Senator Root and read:
"If the vice president wishes rue sim-
ply to lie In order 1 will obey, lad if
lie wishes me to listen to that speech
of Senator Blank lie may go to a lea
ter place than Washington." Wash-
