A READY-To.WEAR CHARITY.
Generous Woman Had Hard Luck
With Her Present.

With Her Present.
A certain family is having consider.
able amusement at the expense of one
of its members. The member in ques-
tion rejoices in the nickname among
her folks OF The Ready-to- Wear
Philanthropist."
This name was honorably earned by
her spontaneous generosity. The only
drawback was the liability of her best
laid plans to miscarry. A case in point
will illustrate why mention of her
present giving" mania excites the ris-
Utilities of those who are acquainted
with the facts.
1t was while in town on brief shop
ping tour that she saw the hat for
which she afterward paid out six good
dollars. 1t was an outing hat, and, to
the enthusiastic buyer. seemed emil
nently suited to the bonnie face Of a
younger sister. The firm, OF course,
offered to send it, but the buyer was
not to be denied prompt enjoyment
of her generous impulse. She would
carry it. Her next mistake lay in
refusing a box She took instead.
one of the familiar millinery bags.
Next she went home.
Arrived at that hallowed spot she
proceeded to give her present. First
she nduiged in a glowing panegyric
as to the contents of the bag. Next
she handed it over. 1t was empty.
The edGes were series of serrated
marks where the rough edges of the
straw had literally sawed way
through.

ELkINS LAW
PROVISIONS EXPLAINED By THE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.
Broadly Speaking, There Is No Mate
rial Change in the Acts or
Things Prohibited.
ELkINS LAW

| Washington, March 25.-Upon re
quest Of one of the best known traffic
men in the west the interstate com
| merce commission has consented tC
give full Interpretation Of the Elk
ms law and to answer some vital ques
tions regarding specific cases.
The reply OF the commission states
that that body is reluctant to answer
hypothetical questions and to give ex
parte opinions as to the meaning and
application of laws, but that the pres
ent case is one in which the traffic
men should be well informed The
commission reply, which follows, was
sent to a Chicagoian making the in
qHiry, and it is said to be receiving
wide private circulation in that city.
/. That carrier is made crimina1ly
liable in all cases where the ndivid-
ual has been heretofore.
=. Wilful failure to publish tariffs,
as required by law or to observe such
tariffs, is made a misdemeanor, pun
lshable by fine of not less than S zoe
nor more than $25, 900 for each offense.
!. TO offer, grant or give. or to
solicit accept or receive any rebate
concession or discrimination in respect
of the transportation of any property
whereby any such property shall
by any device whatever, be transport
ed at less rate than that named in
the tariffs published and filed by such
carrier" is made an offense punish
ed by like fine as above. 1t will be
observed that the word "discrimina-
tion' is used in the paragraph quoted,
and this may add something to the
former law. 1t will be further OBJ
served that the paragraph quoted ap-
plies solely to the transportation of
property.
4. Punishment by Imprisonment is
repealed in all cases.
5. In proceedings before the COM
mission, or before the courts, ship
pers as we'll as carriers may be in.
cluded as parties.
6. The federal circuit courts are
given the power to interfere by sum-
mary process to prevent departure
from tho published rates or other
determinations forbidden by law
Broadly speaking, as 1t seems to the
commission, there is no material
change in the acts or things prohibit
ed and declared. to be unlawful The
criminal remedies for illegal conduct
are changed, and the criminal provi-
sions Of the law made more definite
and positive 1t is believed that these
provisions can now he enforced as
they could not before
The opinion is expressed that the
giving of passes to shippers and cor
cessions on drayage and storage are
violations OF law.
