Findings and Recommendations.

The purely statistical portion of the
report was followed by review of the
Statistical Division of the Interstate
Commerce Commission since 1887. The
chief effort of.the Division has been di-
rected toward the establishment of uni
formity in the form of reports from car
riers demanded by the various railway
commissions of the country, and in the
method of accounting by railways.
Certain difficulties in compiling an
accurate and comprehensive statement
of interior transportation were pointed
out and the report concluded with the
recommendation that provision be made
for Bureau of Statistics and Accounts
which should have under it's supervision
the method of accounting by common
carriers 1t was argued that such a
bureau would assist in the execution
of the Interstate Commerce law by Great
ing those conditions under which the law
would act automatically, and that a body
imposed with the duty of Judging of
the justice or injustice of rates must
have at it's command complete and trust
worthy statistics of transportation. 1t
was further recommended that the express
companies, corporations, owning depot
property elevators and the like used
by carriers for Interstate traffic, and car
riers by water so far as they engaged in
Interstate traffic, should all be required
to make reports to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Little Puck of old. "for you know how fond
| am Of this city," and then he, surrounded
by the other old but little boys" wanted
to know how soon the reporter thought he
could go a-fshing.
Strange to say, these little people are ex-
tremely fond OF pseatoral sport, and their
most pleasant recollections OF their former
visit to San Francisco are the numerous
angling expeditions they enjoyed.
After being assured that during their
mon this stay they would surely have lots Of
time to fish, Franz Ebert and his .compan-
ions felt very much relieved, for they had
confidently entertained some fear that Cali
f0rna winters would not turn out to be
what they had been told TO expect.

A real pleasant, polite, thoroughly gen.

Wife and Sweetheart.

Every bride knows her power; every wife
comes to know her weakness, writes Octave
Thanet in a delightful article on That
Man: Your Husband" in the February
Ladies' Home Journal A good proportion
of the heartbreak of early married life is
due to the ferment of this knowledge. The
poor child whose lover gave up his cigars
and his club with such angelic meekness
finds that her husband can smoke like
chimney, and leave her alone at nights In
order TO spend the evening with his men
friends. She imagnes that he cares less Ter
her than he did. which Is mistake IN most
eases: seven cut of ten men love their wives
better than their sweetheartS. 1t IS simply
that her presence Is not the absorbing tx
element that il was whe9 love was new.
The chances are that the wife has become
dozen times more necessary TO the man than
ever the sweetheart could have been. tie
would feel her death far more keenly, but
he does not need to adjure his heart 10 sit
stilf' whenever his fancy summons her
image. In short, she is become the bread
of existence in place of the elixir Now,
most of us who have sense would prefer 20
be bread rather than ehxir; bat there Is Ia
question that more fuss is made over the
elixir.

the weather subsidized when he was told
that Weather Prophet Jenkins had strict
orders from the signal Office TO have the
sun shine seven days during every one OF
the next four weeks.
Franz Ebert, with touch OF sadness, tod
how his old cOmrade Welt, who had shared
his travels I'm many lands, had left the
troupe recently to retire to his Austrian
home in 0lmuetZ.
While he told this to him, most important
piece OF news Max Walter. lively little
man. made pugilistic gestures ont Of the
window aimed at some distant antagonist.
A number of ladies, it was found, were
standing in a bow-windOw across the street
and Max was trying 10 attract their atten-
tion by his he gerent attitudes.
Il wish / could live in California all my
life" Franz exclaimed with sigh, ana then
he said in manner which was convincing
of his sincerity that lie was fonder of this
State than IF any other he had ever visited.
The possibilities Of an almost continued
outdoor life In pleasant climate are what
principally attract one. Then l like the
COSMOPOLITAN character Of the people meet

Moxie was getting unruly once more and
some of the smaIl-siZed but extremely
pleasant gentlemen wanted 10 60 out to
make some purchases So the reporter de-
parted, hearty 'Auf Wiedersehen" ring
