..LIFE'S LITTLE TRAGEDIES.
Good Intentions But Bad Results.

Ed Hunters experience illustrates how a heartless world is apt to misconstrue the best intentions. Ed had grown up among the smoke and coal dust of Pratt City. Finding that Pratt City had not made the man of him that it should have made, he decided to Journey afar and selected Co., lumbus, Ga, as his future domicile. Ed had learned that freight trains ran to Co., lumbus and that the troublesome custom of tickets was not in vogue on freight trains. He therefore, as he told Judge Feagin, went to the freight yard and asked the watchman which was the local cah gwine to Columbus. The watchman point ed out the train and he proceeded to try the doors and windows of the cab to get inside. While he was. doing this the watchman sent for policeman, who found Ed on top of the car trying to climb down through the roof. He was arrested and a gun found on him, and he was charged with carrying concealed weapons and an attempt to commit burglary.
 Ed said that his intentions were all good, and his mother took the stand and testi- fled that there were no flaws in his charac- ter. She said he had a gun because he was "gwine so fur she thought he ought to take It." The judge found him guilty and fined him $50 and 90 days for his burglari- ous intent and $SO and 30 days for his ar tillery practice.

Commerce of the Mississippi.

Washington, February 6-John w. Bryant of New Orleans, La., testified be- fore the industrial commissiin today upon the commerce of the Mississippi river. He said that belief that the railroad practic- ally has displaced the steamboat is incor- rect. The annual reports of the United States supervising inspectors, the witness said, show more steam vessels on the Mis- sissippi and tributaries today than ever be- fore. In his opinion the struggle of the steamboat is not so much against the rail- road as against the impediments to naviga- ton.
 He said that there is much business car ried by railroads which from preference and convenience would go by the river were it not for the uncertainties and delays of navigation.

Jim said a lot He talked on the wholesale plan, the substance of which was that the citizen jumped right in front of his wagon and he was Obliged ter run over him. "I'll fine you $5 Jim" said the judge. You had better quit driving if you can't help running over people-No, can't reduce your fine, you can't drive bar gains either.'
