mouth. Yes" she said, '.but the
first one / had made didn't fit so
well. 1t bothered Inc a great deal.

The express company has added
about ten per cent to the cost of
carriage between this point and St.
Louis. 1t attempted the same thing
q few years ago, hut the state rail
road commlssioncauscd it to reduce
them to the old figure again. Now
it is thought that the recent election
has emboldcned it to try once more.
The present commissioners can
hardly be expected to take up the
matter at the close of the year and
the new commissioner is supposed
to be favorable to the company.
The public pays, of course, because
there is nothing else to do.
