FREIGHT RATE WRONGS.

While Kansas has suffered a good deal
this year from lack of timely rains. the
state viii average better than several
other western states. Short crops not
alone effect the farmers, but cut OF
business of all kinds and works hard
ship throughout the state, which results
in cramping the business men and man
ufacturer. The people who do the
business of the state are just as energetic
and enterprising as those of any other
state. They have just as uuch grit and
willing to work on as small margin as
their competitors, and having all the
requisite qualifications they should not
be forced out Of business by an
unjust discrimination IN freight
rates. Whon trade becomes dull the
business man does not mark up his
goods in order TO make as much money
as he would with prosperous trade.

light business profitable by extOrtionate

Rev. James Castleton had come to Rose
dale and taken the church under his
care, life had seemed brighter to Susie.
Rev. James Castleton was n quiet,
rather reserved man of thirtyfive, not
handsome, not especially gifted with
aloquence. But in his soft gray eyes,
in the curves of his gravely set mouth
lay an expression of goodness, of unos-
ten tatious piety, that made his simple
language more effective than the most
elaborate oratory. Old women brought
their sorrows to Mr.. Castleton, and
went away comforted, blessing him for
an unaffected sympathy that doubled
the value of his counscls Children
clustered about him wherever he
called, and looked eagerly for his COM
ing into the Sunday school. The young
people liked him and trusted him,
wondering little sometimes that one
so grave and quiet could so thoroughly
understand the troubles and tempta-
tions of youth.
He had shown an interest in Susie
Barclay for many reasons. She was an
orphan and had lost both parents and a
sister within fortnight, victims of a
malignant fever raging in Rosedale,
four years before. She was poor, hav-
ing taken a position as pupil teacher in
a seminary, and been household drudge
as well, to earn an education. At the
time Mr.. Castleton came to Rosedale,
Susie was teaching music, was organ
list at st. Marks, and in leisure time at
home earned many an odd dollar by
embroidery.
And it was upon embroidery she was
busy ON the week preceding Easter

Der of the church, and gave her time,
little as she could spare It, to the work
In the missionary society, sewing circles
and festivals of the year.
And the work upon which she was
sewing so steadily Susie called, in her
heart, her Easter offering. Mrs.
Stacey, the richest woman in Rosedale,
often employed Susies busy fingers,
and it only made the gentle girl smile
scornfully when she heard Bessie Stacey
praised for the exquisite embroidery
her own active fingers wrought
Mrs. Stacey intended to make an
Easter Offering, at st. Marks, of new
set of church-linen, and she had en-
gagged Susie to hem-stitch and en-
broider It, promising her ten dollars
for work she we'll knew would cost her
three times that sum in any city store.
And Susie had already appropriated
that sum, in her mind. She would buy
large cross of white flowers, such as
she had seen in her visits to the city,
and present it to St. Marks Not one
penny of those ten dollars would she
use for her own expenses; and il
Bessie Stacey let it be understood that
she had embroidered the linen her
mother presented, why, Susie could
give her cross, and so balance matters
For, somewhere in the depths of her
heart, SO far down she had never called
it to the surface, Susie knew that there
was rivalry between Bessie Stacey and
herself. She knew that Mr.. Castleton
was frequently at Mrs. Stacey's, to
luncheon, to dinner to arrange various
church matters in which Mrs. Stacey
suddenly wakened to an interest she
had never felt when good old Mr.. Muir
ray presided in the pulpit.
And Bessie wore the most becoming
dresses right under the minister's eyes,

AS she worked in the passion-howers
encircling her cross, Susie thought OF
the order she would send to her Aunt
Mary in the city for the cross she meant
to buy. She had steadily put away the
temptation to buy new spring hat OIL

her gray poplin once more and have

Castleton's words of raise or his grave
