IN other folkses' Kitchens"
SO Gran'pa Dave and his stepdaugh-
ter's boy, Little BILL loafed around to-
kether all day; while the four women
washed and ironed to keep the cup
board supplied. Little Bill wasn't big
enough to carry water or saw wood,
Rnd Gran'pa Dave could only be in
duced TO lend that much aid TO the
family by the preliminary payment of
= dime. When the dime was not at
band Mrs. Maria and the girls" had
TO carry their own wash water from
the spring behind the hill and pick up
yood enough over in the nearby woods
y keep the fire going.
One day a neighbor, in straits for
helping hand, came over TO engage
Gran'pa Dave to saw wood for her.
He accepted the engagement reluct-
antly. He said be had two trades-he
was carpenter and aturner, and man
with two trades oughtn't to get so low
as TO saw wood for outside folks.
But you don't work at your trades"

Two whole days passed before Gran

wood saving contract He said he had
been busy trying TO borrow sawbuck.
For half an hour the weak. watery-eyed
young man labored cautiously with the
saw and the wood Then he disap-
peared for an hour. When he reap
peared he said he had been over home

Another half hour Of slow toll was
counted in his favor; and again he dis
appeared-not TO come again
Towards evening the neighbor who
had engaged him went over TO see what
was the matter. Mrs. Maria and the |
three girls were hard at work wash
Ing under the back shed. Gran'pa /
Dave was not in sight.
Isn't your husband coming to finish
NY wood?" the neighbor asked.
"No'm," answered Mrs. Maria "Me /

Leigh Chalmers, the depart.
ment of justice inspector, who
caused so much CONSERVATION
on his advent at Muskogee a
few days since, arrived in the
city this morning. So far
as learned no one lost their ap-
petite at Vinita because of the
gentleman's visit. Nor is there
reason, for Judge Chalmers is
a typical Texas, affable as the
day is long. He is an Austin
man and one of Cleveland s
first-term appointees. Before
entering the department of JUS
tice he was for six years one of
the secretaries of the senate.
Some of our territory judici-
ary officials will be glad to
know that he carries no special
instructions concerning the al
legged grating" of which so
much has been heard recently.
"Should anything arise, how
ever" he said, "my authority
would warrant me in investigat-
ing it. y
The books and accounts of the
various court officials will be
scrutinized and if anyone has
any real woes to unfold, doubt
less Judge Chalmers would take
pleasure in giving them audi
ence. His stay at Vinita will
depend upon the work which is
found to do.

he had hoped. but they hustled up

BAER TESTIFIES.
Coal Hearing Before Interstate Com.
mission Still On.

New York April 30-President Baer. of
the Philadelphia and Reading company
and the Temple Iron company, resumed
testifying today before the interstate
commerce commission at the hearing on
the complaint OF William r. Hearst that
the coal roads were charging excessive
freight rates for carrying anthracite coal
from the mines in Pennsylvania TO tide
water and are a combination in restraint
OF trade. lie said the coal roads and
coal companies developed an agreement
for mining and distributing coal in sum-
mer from all mines on a per centage
basis. The owners OF mines were willing
to restrict the output. so the coal road
agreed to carry all coal in summer as
soon as mined, but in no case when Il
was found the maret take more, the cars
were refused
President Baer said there had never
been an agreement to make rates for an
thracite on the coal roads to earn profits
representing a percentage equal to the
prevailing rate of interest. 1t was a mat
ter of the greatest satisfaction TO him
that he never had been a party to over
capitalization. In case of over-capitali-
zation the water should be deduced in
calculating the proper earnings and
freight charges to produce them. He then
described to the commission the stock
issue OF the Reading and their market
value in recent years. He said the capt.
talization is fair and honest that the
stockholders are entitled to a fair return
on their investment; that the Reading
could not reduce fits hard coal freight
rate and hope TO earn that return u was
the hope of his administration. he said,
to enable the Reading company within a
year or two TO pay per cent on its first
and second preferred stock
