message. "Order out n train from

The message was sent by Operator
Miller nj Alpine Tunnel and he went
on to explain that three bears, two
large ones and a cub. had laid siege
to his office He was without firearms
and feared that they would break in
the doors. against which they had
leaned heavily several times. The dis.
pntchcr directed the conductor of the
night freight to secure Il rifle along the
road and be ready for carnage when he
reached the eastern end of the tunnel.
The bear family remained about the
depot for some time. shifting at the
cracks in the door. and finally the OPP
orator opened an upper window and
emptied a jar of vitriol upon the head
of the largest one. That seemed to
satisfy the bears curiosity and ii de

II Commission at Leadville.
Denver. June 22.-The News of yes
ferday prints the following Leadville
special:
There was an allday. session of the
Interstate Commerce Commission In
Leadville, for the purpose of taking
testimony In the case of the Leadville
Board of Trade VS.. the Denver & Rio
Grande, the Colorado Midland and the
Colorado Il Southern. Three members
of the committee We're present: J. ID.
fYeomans. former Governor j. w. Fifer
of Illinois and @. A. Prouty.
number OF prominent railway ofii-
cials and attorneys We're In attendance
from Denver. including ]. +. Vale.
general counsel for the Rio Grande;
A. s. Hughes. general traffic manager
of the Rio Grande: S. ii. BabcOck.
Fred Wild. Jr., general freight agent:
ii. 7. Rogers. general counsel for the
Colorado Midland; IL. C. Bush, traffic
manager of the Colorado Midland; ii.
A. Johnson, general freight agent for
the Colorado & Southern.
An immense mass of testimony was
taken, showing that the rates from
Chicago and New York to Salt Lake
are considerably lower than from the
same eastern points to Lea iville. The
merchants complained that while the
rates from Chicago to Salt Lake are
based on ear lots and thus obtain the
commodity rate. the Leadvlllc rate Is
n combination of commodity rate from
Chicago to Denver and then II local
class rate to Salt Lake, making the
rate TO Leadville much higher.
1t was shown In the case OF oil cloth
that the rate per 100 pounds from Chi
cago to Salt Lake was S15J. and to
Leadville. $2O5; rice. Chicago. to Utah
S1.O9. and to Leadville. S1.3I. About
100 articles We're used in this compari-
son. including almost every class of
goods included in groceies. mining ma
chinery. beer. alcohol. etc. the differ
ence between Leadville and Salt Lake
in favor of Salt Lake being from )
cents to 81 per 100 pounds. 1t was nt-
tempted to be shown by the Iendvillc
this discrimination pre-
vented Leadville from becoming job
hing center. This view was evidently
entertained by the commission. 40
Commissioner Prouty so expressed
himself. The railroads claim that
Leadville Is not on II through line. that
the rates nre based on the fact that
the Union Pacific has much shorter
line from the Missouri river to Salt
Lake ana in order that the Colorado
lines may be able to enjoy the benefit
of transcontinentnl traffic the rates
must be so arranged as to meet the
Union Pacific competition and also
competition back from San Francisco.
The case on behalf of the Lcadvlle
merchants was presented by George ].
Kindel of Denver and C. W. Ian
caster.
The commission left tonight. stating
that n decision would not be reached
before next fall.

Land that dries quickly after rain
is well adapted to poultry raising.
When one does not care to raise
chickens, it Is better on the score of
ecouomy to keep the layers without
cocks.
See that the hens are well developed
and not too fat. Mate them TO males
also we'll developed. and the chicks will
be all right
When the hens are too fat, reduce
them in flesh by giving them shorter
rations and give more bulky and less
fattening food.
Fowls appreciate good food as well
as other animals. but 1t is unwise to
limit them to one kind, be it ever SO
good or wholesome.
Crude petroleum thickened to a prop
or consistency with red or brown min

The Way Cyclones Turn.

The question 10 often asked. Why do
cyclones, "whirlwinds" and tornadoes
all persist in the polar whirl from right
to left? Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once ex'
listed as rings Of thinly scattered matter
around the sun and that these rings
were annular segregations from a
vague, irregularly scattered mass that
turned one way In spiral courses. thus
determining the direction in which the
rings reyolved. and all the rest from
this took the same course.
But" you say. why did the nebula
reyolvc at allp 1t grew from chaos,
and chaos presumably possessed an in
herent motion from right to left. This
being the case. from that time to this
sun, moon. stars. planets. cyclones ana
tornadoes have adhered to the original
habit.

THE TELLTALE THUMB.
Its Marks and Lines and Its signal
From the Brain.


A tremendous amount of nonsense
has been written about thumb marks
Ii is claimed that the curious skin con
t-uration on the bali OF the thumb is
never the same in any two people and
that it never changes. The first state
ment is correct. and the same thing can
be said of the lines on the palm and
the creascs on the bottom OF the feet.
But the assertion that the thumb marks
never change throughout life is de
cided exaggeration, The alteration may
come from n variety Of causes-any-
thing. in fact, that will destroy the
outer layer of skin.
Another modifying cause is the tend
ency of the thumb to develop little
horizontal creases as one grows oAi,
This Is especially true Of mechanics and
other working people who use tools.
and eventually the creases will break
up the lines to such an extent that 1t
is equivalent almost to- rearrange-
ment OF the pattern. Specialists In
nerve diseases by an examination of
the thumb can tell II the patient Is
affected or likely TO be affected by
paralysis. as the thumb signals this
long before 1t Is visible in any other
part of the body. Ii the danger symp-
toms are evidenced there, an operation
Is performed on what Is known as the
thumb center of the brain, and the
/ disorder is often removed.
No matter how carefully the indivld-
ual may attempt to conceal incipient in
sanity, the thumb will reveal it infal-
| libby. 1t is the one sure test II the
| patient in his daily work permits the
| thumb to stand at a right angle to the
other fingers or TO fall listlcss into the
| palm. taking no part in his writing. his
handling or things. his multiform du.
ties. but standing isolated and sulky. 1t
| is an unanswerable confession Of men
