A Thrifty Southern Girl.

Talk about your enterprising Yankee
and Western girls-thev can't compare
to some of these Southern maidens.
Here's a Mississippi lassie who seems to
have genius for the accumulation of
the almighty dollar Some one gave
this girl five cents on her birthday.
She bought yard of calico with it, out
of which she made a sun bonnet. which
has ruflies around the edges and frills
upon the strings, and was altogether so
captivating a bit of headgear that a
neighbor purchased it from her for 40
cents. With this she bought eggs and
from these she raised chickens, and in
year and a half she has made from the
sale of eggs and chickens $40. There
the story stopped, but it seems there is
sequel to it, for all this happened
more than year ago, and in that time
the young woman has invested her $40
in COW which has calf. She raised
the calf, selling at the same time the
milk from the COW to the value of $40,
and the calf proving to lie particularly
fine one is valued so much that the
young woman who began with five cents
is now a possessor of $50 worth of stock
and $40 in cash.-Atldntd Constitu-

A Lucky Texan.

Hallettsville Tex New Era, May Is.
The people in this section have been spec.
ulating in Louisiana State Lottery tickets
for some time, and have received several
good premiums and ON one or two occasion:
large ones, but the town was struck dumb
when it was found that ticket No. B.. o74 draw
ing the first capital prize of $4,000 in the
April drawing. was held partially by party
in Hallettsvllle. 1t is often said that lucb
falls to the unworthy, but interviewing Otto
Van Rosenberg, the happy possessor of one
twentieth part of the ticket, we find it has
fallen in the right place. He is an industri.
Gus young merchant, who has been here but
a short time, his native home being RounC
Top, Texas. The $1,000 received by hin
will be partly used In his business; it estab-
fishes him on firm financial basis. 1t ha:
not turned his head, and he will use his new
found wealth with sense and discretion foi
his own advancement and the furtherance
of his interest in the public welfare. He
has been investing in one ticket each month
in the Louisiana State Lottery for about two
years, and he thinks the amount expended
was well invested. The Louisiana State Lot
terry Company is a thoroughly reliable insti-
tuition. as was evidenced in this case. Mr..
Rosenberg sent his ticket for collection to
Ball, Hutchins & Co., OF Galveston, and il
was paid upon presentation without any
discount.

4 Frank Admission.

One of the simplest methods of pre-
serving harmony in our social relations
is the frank admission of having been in
the wrong. Nothing so quickly disarms
resentment, calms irritation, melts away
cold displeasure, turns anger into
tenderness, and changes defiant atti-
tude to one of sympathy, as this candid
confession; and yet few words are more
rarely uttered. The simple avowal of
the truth, without excuse or palliation
Il was wrong or L was Mistaken" or
-Iregret having SAID or done as did,
is worth a thousand elaborate attempts
at explanation, which are generally dis
believed, unaccepted, and give rise to
argument instead of reconciliation.

point for railroads to pursue, to greatly concen-
trate business for thereby the forcee Of competi
ton are brought into more active play. The 1bn-
ditions conducive to the most permanent pfos-
perity to railroads those which insure strong
and steady but increasing local traffic. Theee CON
ditions are not produced by system OF freight
rates which unfairly discriminate against and
tend to repress rather than promote local indus
tries.
Another illustration of presumed equality of
rates and earnings from the disposition OF rates
proposed, as compared with those now prevailing,
in so far as they may apply to trade-freights may
here he cited.
The rate from Missouri river points TO Wichita,
on first class, is - cents The local rate out OF
Wichita to point 80 miles would be y cents, the
no'n, snm q fse sTS ns 1n a much
from the Missouri river than Wichita the rate
on first class from the river TO the further point,
is IS cents, the combined rate exceeding the sim
gle by % cents The great bulk of freishts which
would be the subject of Wholesale traffic would
have to be first handled over Kansas roads to
Wichita, and the conditions of substantial equal
ity between the trade of that place and those up
on the Missouri r.ver would have to be gained by
such difierentials as are allowed upon long haul
traffic from Eastern points, and the lower classi-
fcation taken by many classes of freight where
Substantially the same volume of freiehts
will he carried upon a high plane of rates, but
its distribution will in measure be changed.
1t appears TO he apprehended rather thar the
changes proposed may lead to Others of a more
radical character. ard the losses spoken OF be SUI
fered from this source
We understand that objection exists to arrang-
ing the proposed rates upon the first four classes
in the general classification sheet, and that this
would not be necessary to carry out the purpose
and intent of this decision. 1t is proper to soy
that no other method has been suggested, and
that in suggesting this in our original decision,
we but followed n practice already established by
the voluntary action of the roads as applied to
Wichita. The main purpose is to abate the dis
elimination existing between the manufacturing
and commercial business situated in one part OF
the state as compared with those in another. The
method by which this shall be accomplished Is
intended to be left with the railroad companies
themselves, no particular method being oblisa-
tory SO long as the result is in substantial con.
formity with the requirements of the law.
We have been unable upon this review to reach
any other conclusion than that the discrimina-
tions complained of in this case are unjust, and
in violation of statutory provision. and that the
same must be corrected; and We therefore affirm
the decision heretofore made in this case, and di-
rect that the rates to and from Wichita, indicated
in decision of March 2sh last. be made effect
i've on or before the lst day of yniy, proximo.
