Freight Agents Daughter Posted as

This incident is recalled because of the

Gently made flying visit to the city and
incidentally held their fifth annual con-
vention. A daughter of one of this fra
ternity married prosperous young bus
mess man of Detroit. Throughout the
impressionable period of childhood she
had heard much of rebates. The word
was endlessly repeated in her fathers
conversation and was not to be detached
from her memory.
When the couple We're about to engage
in housekeeping her husband told her to
figure out about what her household ex-
penses would be, allow a margin in her
favor, and fix the answer as determining
the amount of the weekly allowance he
would give her. She had a long confer
ence with her grocer, meat market at
tached and all vegetables in season. 1t
was decided approximately what the
weekly bill would be for her small fam
lily and then she asked about rebate

heart, I've put everything down to the
lowest notch. Couldn't throw off a cent.
Couldn't think of it. l must put every
thing higher if you insist on rebate
We'll that's just what l do. Every
smart business person gives ana taxes re-
bates. Papa always thought more of
them than he did of anything else in the
world except himself and ready money.
If can't get rebate III go somewhere
else. I'm no novice when it comes to
business. Please understand that. What
would trad. and commerce be without
rebates? | leave it to yourself.
So the grocer advanced his prices 20sper
cent and allowed her 10 per cent rebate,
an arrangement highly satisfactory to
herself. She secured an equally gratify-
ing bargain with the dry goods merchant.

LAW AGAINST STAGGERING.
Strange statute Now in Effect in
South Carolina,

One of the strangest laws which have
sprung from South Carolina's dispensary
system has been adopted by the town
council OF Yorkville a thriving county
seat near the mountain line. When the
dispensary system was first operated
forkyille fought IL bitterly, because the
citizens Of that town are strong on tom
perance. The law was unpopular. II did
not prove successful, and finally it was
decided 10 have an election in which the
people could express their views on the
dspensary or prohibition. The voters
buried the dispensary. and prohibition
ruled the day.
But the closing of the State establish
ments did not stop the sale of liquors
Men got drunk just as they had formerly
done. and in the low quarters of the town
intoxicated men reeled out, a shocking
spectacle of prohibition. The wise heads
took counsel together. They talked over
the defects and agreed to punish the man
who drank and notthe man who sold An
extra meeting Of the town council was
called. An ordinance was introduced to
make 1t misdemeanor for any person to
be seen staggering on the streets of the
town That was where the wise heads
thought the root OF the evil could be
crushed There was a bitter fight in the
council over the proposed legislation
Glass was arrayed against class, but the
anti-staggering law prevailed. and it was
accordingly entered on the statutes
There is no provision in the law by
which man suffering from paralysis can
be exempted from the operation of the
law. All staggering people look alike to
the wise men of iorkvile. Whether he
staggers from drink or from partial pa
ralysis, he is seized and hurried before
u town physician and his condition tested.
II there Is the odor of whisky he is sent
up TO be fined
Friends and supporters OF the new
measure declare that it has rid the streets
of the drunkards and has materially de-
creased the sale of liquor. Men who
fought It's adoption declare that il hes in
creased drunkenness, because men buy
the whisky from the blind tigers and
then go home to drink their entire sup
ply, with the expectation of remaining
there until thoroughly sobered. The law
has injected new issues into the political
life OF Yorkville. and people from other
towns are anxious to see similar meas
ures adopted at their homes.-Chicago
Tribune.

the effects of alcoholism upon an iron

Now. there was time to rest a while.
the sergeant thought. and he reseated
himself But, he must arise again. for
the form of an elderly woman with
firm and decisive step entered the sta
ton, and running plumb up against the
brass bar she enquired in cutting tone:
Sir, you, what have you done with
my husband? Now. sir, don't shake your
head and lie about it. l know. l saw
you drag his past my house. Oh. l sup
pose you have beaten him and nearly kill
ed him, weak man that he is. Why. he
couldn't walk when he passed. continued
the irate woman, sobbing loudly. while
the Desk Sergeant, with a smile upon his
face, waited for an opportunity to speak.
Madam" said that official, what is
your husbands name?"
Jones, sir: that's his name; now do you
know" tartly replied the visitor, glaring
violently at the man behind the rail.
We'll. madam, we haven't any Jones
here, but we just brought a man in here
drunk"
Drunk. sir! Do you wish to insult me,
sir? oh, this is terrible, | shall report

tained his good humor
Wait, madam" continued the sergeant.

cial disappeared. only to return in few
minutes holding the intoxicated man as
firmly as possible in order that he might
make a good appearance before his better
half. Then standing up agains. the wall,
the sergeant said: rs this your husband.
madam
You gcod-for- nothing thing said the
woman to the sergeant, then turning to
the man under arrest.
My own darling husband" she cried,
running toward the figure propped up
against the wall, which just then. owing
to weakness of the knees, fell in hud-
die on the floor. Both the reporter and
the sergeant responded CALAMITY and lift
ed the unfortunate to his feet.
What's s. matter, Gosh dern 1t; what's
matter Annie" said the man who had i'm
bibed too freely.
Then the wife selling him with a firm
grasp in his collar signaled a hackman
on the outside, and shaking her partner in
life so roughly that both had all they
could do to keep their feet. she threw
him into cab with the assistance of the
sergeant, and dashed away
Business was now Stacking up and the
dest sergeant produced his neatly arrang-
ed report and started to work, again
while the reporter noting the fact that
day was about to break left hurriedly
for his boarding house.

COURAGE OF swoRDFIsH.
VIII Attack Anything From N Shark
to a Ships Hull.

'"rhey say" said Commercial Street
fish dealer. that New York will buy any
kind of fish that is offered for sale. You
know people around here, with few ex-
ceptions, don't pretend to eat founders,
yet immense quantities of them are sold
to the New York markets. Yes, it's a
great fish town, but I'll tell you one thing
that they haven't yet been educated up
to. it's eating swordfish. Somehow they
can't seem to believe that the flesh is
good to eat In Boston, on the other
hand. they can't get enough of them dur
ing the season. and, in fact. all through
Massachusetts and Maine swordfish is
considered almost equal to halibut. The
fish are usually most plentiful around
Block Island and Vineyard Sound, al
though n good many are taken all along
the Maine coast
at is an easy matter to locate the
sharp-nosed prowier of the sea, for like
the pirate that he is, he carries warning
with him in the shape of big black fin
that rises above the surface of the water
as he plows along in search of something
upon which to use his sword. He is
afraid of nothing, and when enraged will
attack anything from a man-eating shark
to a whale or the bottom of big schoon-
er.
THE force of his thrust is terrible.
Weighing. as the fish frequently do 400 to
600 and 700 pounds, and equipped In the
head with a sharp sword of bone three
feet long. some of these monsters can
penetrate the thick planking of vessels.
Many such instances are recorded. An
English bark arrived at Valparaiso some
years ago leaking badly. They had been
startled when out a few days from VAL
paraiso at feeling a sudden shock, as
though the vessel had struck on a sunk
en- wreck.
They found that whatever had struck
them clung to the bottom of the ship and
shook her SO that it was with difficulty
she could be steered. After three days of
tugging and twisting the incubus. what
ever it was, cleared itself and the ship
steered as well as ever. On arrival at
Valparaiso the vessel was docked and an
examination showed that the cardboard
straie. in this case a five-inch oak plank.
had been pierced vertically by the sword
of a swordfish. with nearly foot of it
inside and about the same or a little more
outside. When the sword had run through
the space between the bottom timbers it
met with resistance from the sister keels
on heavy piece of oak timber about nine
inches thick. When striking that the
force of the fish was probably spent. The
plank, | understand, with the sword still
sticking in 1t. is now on exhibition in the
British Museum.
Il could tell you lots of cases of an
equally interesting nature. Some of them
the fishermen have related to me here at
the wharf. and others | have read about

MATADoRs FEAR THE COWS.
Bull Fighters Afraid to Fool With
MIX Giyers.

1t will probably not surprise our read
ers to hear that most Spanish bull fight
ers object to fighting cows. The real rea-
son may, however. astonish them. A
sportsmanlike objection to prosecuting a
female animal has nothing whatever to
do with it, The fact is that the average
toreador is sincerely afraid of a cow.
And he has good reason. The cows of
the half-wild breed used for the arena
are much quicker in their movements
than are the bulls. Their horns are more
pointed and more formidable; they do not
lower their heads to the ground. shut
their eyes and charge like a locomotive
upon the rails, but are alert and ready
to follow every movement of their per-
secutors. Their war-lke tactics have
been adapted not to blind. bovine frontal
attacks. but to the strategy of active and
cunning beasts of prey. of which the hui
man bull fighter is only feeble mimic.
II these cheap idols of the Spanish popu-
lace would face young and active wild
cows which had Just been robbed of their
calves they might. perhaps, forestall the
butcher. but they would at any rate, do
something to earn their laurels.-Pear-
sons Magazine.

ENTERTAINING A MONKEY.
The Expensive Guest of Merry

A party of friends who had been lucky
at Longchamp on Sunday agreed to cele-

the complications which followed. Hard

was reduced to a complete wreck. Broken
plates glasses and bottles strewed the
ercwhile convivial board, any amount of
other mischief being also wrought
As was only natural under these extra
ordinary circumstances the landlord had
something to say on this subject. He pro-
tested in emphatic terms. adding that the
company would have to pay for all the
damage that had been inflicted on his
property. AS the young men declined to
view the matter in this light, joint

ASK A REHEARING.
Topeka MiIIers Not Satisfied
with Verdict in Rate Case.

Judge G. Slonecker today filed an
application for a rehearing of the To-
peka nillers' case against the Santa Fe
asking a restoration of their old rates
on wheat, with the board OF railroad
commissioners. Judge Slonecker left
this afternoon on a two weeks vacation
hence no date was set or asked to be
set for the rehearing, in case it is
granted.
AS counsel for the millers he main
tains that the board missed the mark
in its decision and it is probable that
the case will follow an entirely new line
at another hearing If so, an amended
petition will be filed attacking the sys-
tenn of distance tariffs in the state, re-
moving the implied plea for favor1tism
and discrimination in the rates.
There are six points in the brief filed
bv Judge SIonecker as causes upon
which to base a rehearing. The points
made are as follows:
i. The board evidently 1abored under
an entire rnisa pprehension as to the al
legged differential of five cents on wheat
east from Kansas City and its supposed
bearing on the question at ISSUE anu
this is especially apparent as the state
ment of the board in It's opinion III re-
gard to through rates shows that such
differential could not affect rate
which terminates 81 miles west of Kan
sas City
2. The board was in error as to what
it was called upon to decide and con-
sidered subjects not in issue.
3. The board evidently overlooked the
fact that it was conceded that wheat
and wheat products should bear the
same rate and that therefore the rate
asked is neither a discrimination nor a
favoritism as every miller west Of To-
peka could ship wheat products into
Topeka at the same rate Topeka millers
could ship in wheat.
4. The board erred in considering the
so-called differential Of one cent in favor
Ier-- m
east Of Kansas City, as such differen-
tiaI could not possibly have any bearing
on a shipment which stops at Topeka
s. The decision of the board was con-
trary to law.
s. The decision of the board was not
supported by the evidence.
