A Beautiful and Touching Picture

Wednesday afternoon little Black
foot boy not yet in his teens and two
little sisters younger than himself stole
away from home and walked TO the
city's cemetery.
They carried . hoe and rake and
sought little grave, neglected and APP
parcntly forgotten. Affectionately they
went 20 work TO clear away the wild
weeds and grasses and 10 beautify the
little lot. They raised the mound and
placed upon Il their offerings Of roses
and pansies. They sprinkled the ground
and planted wild flowers on the borders
and, when they had done, they had a
lovely spot OF It.
What they said and talked about In
their labor OF love, will never be known,
perhaps they have forgotten, but they
made u picture Of beauty TO be admired
by ninisteripg spirits, II ministering
spirits ever visit the cities OF the dead.
What lesson for many ripe in years.
There are graves OF fathers and mothers
in the cemetery that never know the
fragrance OF an offering Of flowers.

They do not take into account the

some OF them relinquished more than
one or two times.

A Home-Made Experience,

A man went into an icehouse TO cool
off.
An abrupt and impetuous hired man
closed and locked the door and went
away The next day was Sunday, and
the hired man did not came back
While the man who yearned to cool
off waited for the return of the hired
man his object was accomplished in a
very thorough manner. He cooled off.
The muffled door gave back but
echoes to his blows, and his voice could
find no place to escape and sound the
alarm.
When he grew tired of walking and
swinging his arms to keep warm, the
chunks Of ice that were piled around
him did not offer a tempting bed. Hun
ger gnawed at his vitals and refused
to be satisfied with the diet of raw
air. Darkness settled down like a six
months Arctic night. and the only
sound which broke the profound still
ness was the man who wanted to cool
off trying to swear
The hired man opened the door on
Monday morning, and the man who
wanted to cool off crawled out more
dead than alive.
When his tongue had thawed out he
began to abuse the hired man.
Fool" retorted the hired man.
began to abuse the hired man.
Fool, you are lucky dog and do not
know it. Don't waste time in abusing
me. your benefactor. but go write a
book Of impressions on Alaska
Then the man who wanted to cool off
saw that his fortune was made.-Chi-

to settle their dispute by duel, and this
mode CT decision was looked upon by
the civil law as an appeal to the judg
ment of God. Even churchmen sane
toned the belief by practice and pre-
cept. Thus, in the year 1144 the Monks
Of st. Germain de Pres demanded a
duel 10 prove that Etienne de Maci had
been wrong in fnprisoning one of their
serfs. Champions for each side were
appointed. They fought long and bit
teriy in the courtyard Of the monas
terry. AT last" says the eontempor-
ary chronicler, "by the aid of God, the
champion of the abbey gouged out the
eye of his adversary and obliged him
to confess that he was in the wrong"
Nevertheless despite the example of
individual churehmen. there had grad
ually been growing up in the church
a sentiment against this form of ap-
peal to the God of Battles. So early
as SO the Council of Valence abso-
lutely prohibited duels, imposing pen
ance for homicide on the man who
killed his antagonist and depriving a
man slain in q duel of the church's
prayers AS the duel lost it's judicial
character and came under the ban of
the secular law the church opposed il
with still greater unanimity and vehe-
mence. Julius II. published a bull
strongly cOndemning it in 1910, while
the Council of Trent accommodated
all who engaged in duels and those who
counselled or promoted them, besides
depriving persons who died in a duel
of Christian b1rfa1
In 1872 Benedict XIV. censured those
who taught that man might accept
a duel to save his reputation for cour-
age or to keep his post as an officer of
the army. Moreover, theologians teach
that such excuses do not save a man
from sin against the natural law or
from mourning ecclesiastical penalties
SO long as the ban of excommunica-
tion lasts neither the Italian Count nor
the French Prince may attend mass or
receive the sacraments Among the
sacraments is included that of mar
rage No Catholic priest could unite
either in the bans Of matrlmony, hear
their confessions or give them COM
munion.
But prompt submission and public ac-
acknowledgement OF their error will suffice
to restore both to their birthright.-

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
COMMISSION MAKES A RULE
ON DISCRIMINATION.
Railroad Companies Should be AL
lowed a Fair Compensation
for Hauling Freight.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission to-day in
an opinion by Chairman Morrison has
'reconlmen ended" reductions of freight
rates to Eureka Springs, Mo, over the
Eureka Springs and ST. Louis and San
Francisco Railway
The Eureka Springs Railway has for
many years carried to its terminus
freight at greatly reduced rates, when
intended for points beyond, to be
reached by wagon transportation. The
commission holds this arrangement
does not make the railway company
carriers beyond Eureka Springs, and
that such lower rates are a discrimina-
ton against Eureka Springs and its
business.
The opinion continues: "That trans
portation charges should be liberal un-
til the earnings are fully sufficient for
fair return on actual investment will
hardly be questioned. but it does not
follow that rates long maintained and
grossly discriminative must be conttn-
uous and may be lawfully exacted year
by year, though it be assumed that
railroad investment or property is SO
much more inviolable than other prop
erty that its owners must bear none of
the losses or disadvantages incident to
industrial and financial disarrange-
ment and that transportation charges
are never excessive when the annual
net earnings are less than the amount
necessary to the reasonable annual in
come on such property and invest
ment''
The opinion is particularly noticeable,
in that it calls attention to and inter-
prets the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court regarding the power of
the commission to fix rates which
decision the opinion says:
Under the law as construed by the
court, the commission has power to say
what in respect to the past, was reas-
enable and just, but to rates complain-
ed nj as unreasonable, unjust unlaw-
full, and so found to be by the commits
sion, il can make no provision or order
for their deduction which the court is
not required to enforce, or the carriers
obliged to obey. When the rates are
found to be unreasona BILE the Commits
sion can declare them unlawful and rec
ommend their reduction, and where, af-
ter investigation, rates of carriers COM
planned of are found to have been in the
past, and still be unjust, unreason-
able violation Of the statute, it is made
the duty of the commission to notify
and request carriers to cease and de-
siSt for such violations"
