very badly damaged the trees, but the

the Same Laws.

There is something amusing in the
way the railroads have yielded to the
rates promulgated by the authorities of
the state" when they are on record only
a short time back as declaring these
rates would be ruinous to the compan-
les and probably lead to general bank
ruptcy and panics. They predicted
great deterioration of railroad property
and declared that travel by rail in Iowa
would soon become unusually hazard
ous. None of these results have fol
lowed. but the low rates have stimulat-
ed business and given the carriers a
volume of traffic which they could not
possibly have secured under the old
charges. The railroad officials them
selves should have seen that the great
oppression of prices of agricultural pro
ducts made it necessary that transpor'
tation charges should be lowered. Get
ting Is cents per bashel for corn, far
mer could not afford TO give the rail
roads II cents TO market. Selling Fifty
bushels or oats for $3.50 or forty bush
-~els of otatoes for IS, and other things
In proportion, the farmer could not pos
sibiy pay the old high TRANSPORTATION
rates. The traffic would not stand such
rates. The railroads would have re.
duced them voluntarily and In their
own interest, but instead thu undertook
foolishly 10 fight the state and were wei
iacketed ia consequence and have haa
10 come 70 terms at last.-Chicag'

THE day of giving and receiving as
means of promoting the spirit of good
will among men is again with us, and
finding more grateful expression and
exemplification than ever before. The
practice of giving will ever continue,
not alone because the precedent has ex-
listed from time immemorial but
because it is. indeed, an expression
of mans gratitude to man.
The generation that should relinquish
the custom might well be consigned to
the grave of the ungrateful patriot, "un,

ing, seasonably and judiciously, makes
glad all hearts, and will be perpetuated

Puss Remembered an Old Trick

1T was q white cat, sad q towns
man last night, land every one in the
family thought great deal of it. 1t
was considered knowing cat-one Of
those felines quite capable of taking
care Of No. /. One day it was missing
Great was the grief. especially of the
children. just five years afterward
that cat came back to the house. 1t
was first seen walking on a stone wall.
as 1t had often been seen walking there
before it SO mysteriously disappeared.
1t recognized members Of the family
and purred with great satisfaction.
Some one suggested that after all it
might be another cat. and test was
made which proved it was the same
one. The original cat had been
taught to open one of the doors by
jumping up and striking the latch
with his paws. Puss was put in the
room and the door closed. In few
minutes 1t was heard to strike the latch.
The door opened and the cat walked
out. Livingston On. y Freeman.
