ISOLATION. The present decentralization Of west
bound rates will DO tho subject for considera-
ton. Rates are said to DO moro unstable now

agent paid q shipper $3.50 for an Office dog that

OF course the question Of conceding a larger
share OF tho business to the Baltimore and Ohio
cannot come before this meeting. That matter
is in the hands OF Commissioner Blanchard.
President Thomson OF the Pennsylvania, and tho
Baltimore and Ohio receivers, and is by no

but their contention was that its business could
not have been doubled this year by legitimate
methods.

Charley was eating his supper. AS soon

paying an old grudge. Charley was the

appeared at five lord mayors shows and
many Drury Lane pantomimes. Mr.. San

Elephants do not forget injuries or

No fault is found with what congress
has already done, nor with what it con-

voiced is that the war department plans
for defending our coast should be carried
into effect without unnecessary delay, and
that an ample appropriation for that pur-
pose should be made at this session of
congress. What those plans are the pub

ages without proper Identification. He

this was the way in which he followed
them in one case:
He was presently asked for a certain
package, and the starting point, destina-
ton and all particulars were given him
correctly. Still he hesitated about deliver
ing it, and proceeded to parley with the
man demanding it. The latter grew impa-
tent, and finally lost his temper.
Haven't l told you the name on the

showed the name tattooed on his arm.
For moment the expressman stared,
evidently bordering by what means the
inscription had been placed there. Then
he capitulated and handed over the par
eel.
"If God Almighty's written II on your
skin 'spose 1T s your own" he said grim
ly, and the customer did not stop to ex-
plain the tattooing process.
