rocal. and It must be q love based not
upon ephemeTal traits, bat rather
upon fundamental and rock-bcaud
habits, mental traits and ether char
acteristics Of the contracting parties.
The distinction between a happy
and an unhappy marriage IS found
doubtless in the fact that not a few
marriages are entered into under a
temporary state Of the heart or mind,
without reference to the deeper essen
tails of activity.
The woman who loves one eharae-
teristic Of a man, OF the man who
loves one trait in a woman, IS bound
TO be disappointed IN the marriage
state when that particular character
istie or that particular trait Is over
Swallowed BY other faults OF ether
conditions which are incompatible
with harmonious intercourse.
1t is my Judgment that If when pee
pie enter into the marriage state they
do so with any other consideration
than mutual and interchangeable self
sacrifice and regard for each other,
based not upon complexion, not upon
appearances, but rather upon The
deeency, purity, and uprightness e
the soul, then a happy state must en-
sue; and it Is only when the exterior
Is accepted, and that which Is beyond
is neglected. that follow the disap-
pointnents and unhappiness IN mar
riage.

Although tobacco is not quite SO bad
as it is painted. it IS responsible for a
number Of ailments when used immod-

said the same. de firmly believed that
smoking causes q sort of atrophy, or
wasting, Of the optic nerve. with the re-
suit of what is called amaurosis.
Amaurosis is q daTkening OF dulling

Yet the closest inspection of the eye re-

But even smokers who consume much
less tobacco than four and half ounces

This statement IS supported by the
weH-known fact that men suffer much
more than women from chronic cold in

INDTCTHENT AGAINST THE i. & Y.

against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad by
the federal grand jury was made public to-day. II
charges violation of the Interstate Commerce
law the offence consisting I'm the road charging
less for the transportation OF In carload lots
than the Interstate Commerce law prescribes.
There are two counts in the bill which sets forth
that on November H. 1901 the Louisville and Nash

the States Of Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama.

this city. on 1900 pounds Of corn shipped 10 At

made the total freight charge on this lot

The difference Of rebate amounted to cents, be
ing q cents. when It should have been . cents.
The other counts set forth that the same date
on another lot of IS pounds shipped by same
roads to Atlanta total freight charge of Sll7 so

also being a cent rebate.
The witnesses named In the Indictment are n. r

Fred w. Hudson, traffic manager OF the l., II. and
St Louis Joseph A. Bushfeld and John 5. Greene.
Concerning the accusation on which this indict-
ment is based. Vice President Hines Of the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad said:
The indictment alleges that this company has
100 pounds on grain from Louisville to Atla4ta,
a prCportionatc rate OF cents hundred pounds less
than the local tariff rate has for a great many
years been applied by all railroads operating from
Louisville and Cincinnati to Southeastern territory
upon grain originating at points west of ST. Louis
and reShpped from Louisville or Cincinnati and
the shipments referred to In the indictment WoT"
of this character. This smaller rate on such re-
shipments is an open and public rate, applicable
and applied alike to all.
This adjustment, whereby the smaller rate is al
lowed on reshipments originating points west
Of St. Louis, certainly conforms TO the real pur-
poses the Interstate Commerce law, which are
publicity and equality. There has been neither
