profits must be made--one by the ex-
press company for the actuai service
and another by the railroad for the
use OF its equipment. II the railroads
operated their own express sergice
one of these profits could be abolished,
in part at any rate The railroads
could substantially reduce express
rates and stin enjoy an increased
revenue from the service.
Shippers are now under the thumb

protection Of the public and of them

stands like a highwayman with a club

hulldoze and browbeat the railroads.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
(New York Press)

The man who proposes to widow
Is either a philanthroplst or a fool
The only way you can convince a
girl that kissing is dangerous is by
showing her.
Love is like the grip Everybody in
the world has either just had It or is
waiting to get it.
a thin woman can pad. but fat
woman can only wear tight clothes
and look uncomfortable.
Probably Jonah had no idea that his
wife would believe him when he told
her where he had been, anyway.
Probably a woman could never tell
whether she dresses most to tickle the
men or to make the other women mad.
Most men take comfort in the
thought that the world will never
know how mean they really were till
after they are dead.
You can never Judge woman by
what the other women say about her,
as well as you can by what she says
about the other women.
There are only two kinds of women
in the world-the kind that won't be
nice to you unless you kiss them, and
the kind that won't be nice to you if
you do.
