Another Investigation.

II is said that because of certain adj
missions made in the hearieg on the
question of publishing export rates, an
investigation is to be made by the In
terstate Commerce Commission into the
relations existing between the Boston
Steamship Company and the Northern
Pacific Railroad Peculiar facts were
brought out in a series of questions
propounded by Chairman Knapp. 1t
was shown that the steamship com
pany and the railroad were charging a
through rate on hemp Of IS cents from
Seattle 70 ST. Paul. Then Frank Water
house, representing the steamship com
pany. was led on TO state that the
railroad was working under an agree
ment by which ii had pledged Itself
not to haul hemp brought into port by
steamers other than those of the Bos-
ton company. Should a tramp steamer
come in with a cargo. she would have
to pay nearly double the rate Of the
Boston COMPANY TO ship her freight
East Such an agreement is a violation
Of the law, and it Is probable the com
mission is going to take fail out Of

CHARACTER INDICATED
By THE WAY SHOES WEAR

Scarpo!ogy is the name of a novel
method of divination which is now at
tracing some attention in Europe 1t
was invented by a scientist of Basic.
and Il is based on the assumption that
the character of any person. can be told
from his shoes.
Here are a few OF the principal rules:
When heel and sole are worn equal
ly, meaning thereby when neither is in
a worse condition than the other. one
may be confident, il a man wears tie
shoes. that he is energetic and is en-
dowed with excellent business ability.
and. # a woman, that she Is loyal 10 her
husband and a good housekeeper.
The outer edge of sole II much worn
is sure token of g fanatic, wayward
spirit; but, on the other hand. If the
inner edge is worn the wearer is simid
ard irrssoIute.
When the shoes are much worn along
the outer edge and the leather around
the toes begins 10 look shabby. the other
parts OF the shoes meanwhile being
almost as good as new. one may "be
confident that the wearer is a rogue
