Railway Rate Legislation

At the bienniahl convention of the Order of Railway Conductors recently held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions were unanimously adopted voicing their sentiments as to the effect of proposed railway rate legislation on the 1,300,. 900 railroad employees, whom they in part represented. These resolutions "indorse the attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates and other illegalities, and commend the attitude of the heads of American railways, who, with practical unanim- ity, have joined with the president on this question" They then respectfully point out to congress the "inadvisabil- ity of legislation vesting in the hands of commission power over railway rates, now lower by far in the United States than in any other country" be cause such legislation would "result in litigation and confusion and inevit- ably tend to an enforced reduction in rates, irrespective of the question of the ability of the railroads to stand the reduction, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials" They further protested against such power being given to the present interstate commerce commis- sion because "the proposed legislation is not in harmony with our idea of American jurisprudence, inasmuch as it contemplates that single body shall have the right to investigate, indict, try, condemn and then enforcre it's de- cisions at the cost of the carriers, pend ing appeal, which is manifestly in- equitable
 The conductors base their demand for only such legislation, if any, as would "secure and insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned" on the ground that the low cost of transportation lis the result of the efficiency of American railway management and operation which have built up the country through constant improvement and de- velopment of territory, while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among em- ployes in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and lowest wages to employees obtain."
 In pressing their cliam against leg islation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that "the freight rates of this country average only two per cent of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country.

A SORT OF HORSEWHIPPlNG.

The rod, the sparing of which spells the child, need not of necessity be made of the time-honored hickory, as Is shown in an anecdote related by the Washington Star. An old man, who in his boyhood received the chastise- ment, tells the story. He says 1t was the worst fogging he ever had, and that the instrument by which his fath- CT administered 1t was the sharpest- backed, hardest trotting, most awk- ward old horse ever seen.
 won't say that the punishment was undeserved, and I know 1t cured my propensity for mischief. I lived then some three miles from the postoff1ce, and eight miles from friend of ours who had sold father pig to be deliv. cred when convenient.
 One day, when I was at the post office with a neighbours boy, this friend came riding down the road, and tying his horse, deposited the bag containing the pig near by. He was accompanied by miserable-looklng cur, which sat down by the bag while his owner went into the office. Quick as wink, we caught the dog and substituted him for the pig. We placed the pig in a pen not far of; then we scurried home.
 We were hanging around the yard when the man with the bag rode up. Handing father the bag, he dlsmount- ed just as the string was loosened and the dog jumped out.
 II declarew exclaimed the man. That dog was a pig when left home. I put 1t into the bag myself"
 We boys were little way of. and father shouted to me, Where have you been?"
 ITO the store," said l.
 Did you see this bag"
 "Yes," I acknowledged.
 "Who changed the pig for the dog7" he demanded.
 I-I did," faltered.
 It was a little past supper-time and was hungry, and hoped father'd fog me and have 1t over with. But ludL Wdoh ulS Woys hC yubt bPohC op quiet like:
 "Get out Old Rocks, put bridle on, but no saddle, do you mind. not even bag. Take the dog back to its own- er's house, then ride to the postofHce, get the pig and bring it here. No SUD- per for you tonight, young man."
 on l started, and do what I could, Old Rocks kept up his hard trot until I got back, at nearly midnight. I rode in all about sixteen miles, and you bet ter believe I was so pounded and cut by that razor-backed old horse that 1 didn't miss not being whipped. For a week upright or horizontal positions suited me best and whatever mischief I aferward engaged in, you may be sure involved neither pigs nor dogs.

STEPPING OUT "SASSY."

First Step Toward Success Is Proper
 Se1f-Confdence.
 For generations the Randolph Jeffer- sons had been celebrated for the beau- ty and charm of their women. Betty Jefferson had been declared the most beautiful woman at the Governors ball, and Betty's daughter had been the belle of three counties, and Betty's granddaughters - three of them at least-claimed the family reputation as q matter of course. The fourth one, Virginia, was different. She was plain and shy and awkward. The Jeffersons always looked puzzled when they thought of her-a homely Jefferson was such strange misft.
 So Virginia lived her shy, lonely life, an alien among her own people. Yet she was not quite alone either. One friend she had, old Aunt Charlotte, who fought desperately to make the girl conquer her fate instead of yield ing to it.
 "'Tain't yo' 'pearance, Miss Fagin- n.y." she urged, day in and day out; hits jes' cause yo' lows things te- tromple on yo'. Hol' up yo' b" d, honey, an step out sassy. Dat'll fo' b 'em ev'ry tme."
 While Virginia was still young girl the war swept over the South. For few years the family contrived to keep together, but at last 1t was necessary for them to separate, and Virginia went to cousins In Philadelphia, who were confident that they could help her to music pupils. The weeks that fol- lowed were crowded with agony for the homeslck girl. If she had been shy at home, she was thousand times worse facing strangers. It was not strange that only failure followed her efforts.
 One day she went to zee Mrs. Dens- more, who had three little daughters. for whom she wanted . music teacher For various reasons Virginia really hoped for success there but the result was the usual polite regret. The girls eyes filled with tears, and she bowed silently; then suddenly, to the lady's surprise, she began to laugh nervous ly.
 TT beg your pardon" she stam- mered, meeting the look in the others face. T was just thinking of the ad- vice of my old nanny at home 'Hor up yo' haid an step out sassy I suppose-I ought to have thought of that at first"
 To Virginia's amazement, Mrs. Dens- more turned and motioned her back to her seat.
 "If you don't mind, Miss J, erson," she said, i've will talk this over a lit tie more. To tell you the truth, 1t was your evident lack of self-confidence that made me dlstrust your ability to teach; but if you can step out sassy" and ten minutes later Virginia left with her first pupils secured.
 Many years after she told the story, and declared 1t the turning-point of her life. "I learned" she said, "that the first step toward success is to learn to 'hop up yo' haid.' '"-Youth's Con- na nion

 though he was but mere boy, Whit ney rendered inestimable service by making nails by hand. Without his endeavors at that time New England would have gone without nails.
 It was while visiting at the Georgia plantation of General Nathaniel Greene, after the close of the Revolu- ton, that Whitney conceived the idea of the cotton gin, by which one man was able to do the work of one thou sand. His invention made cotton cheap and its cultivation enormously profitable. It gave clothing to the world in an abundance which had not been thought possible. The poor profited by this invention more than by any other class. It was a colossal gift to his country and to mankind, that which Ell Whitney gave.
 The machine was so simple in Its fundamental idea that any one could copy it; before he was able to patent IL his shop was broken into and his model broken; he never received any material returns from It.
 But his reward has been in the fact that he was one of the benefactors of the world.

cated the emancipa-

 In 1857, however, the Republicans of Pennsylvania, recognizing Simon Cam eron as a man of sterling worth to serve the nation in such a crisis as then threatened her welfare, returned him to the United States Senate. So earnest an advocate of peace did he prove to be that doubts were entertain ed of his loyalty to the Northern cause.
 President Lincoln felt no such fears, however, in regard to the Senator from Pennsylvania, and when he was form Ing his cabinet he chose Cameron as his Secretary of War. It was in this position that Cameron showed that he was as stanchly for the cause he had affiliated with as Lincoln himself. In fact, several of his measures were too radical for Lincoln. In 1862 the fresi- dent appointed him Minister to Rus sla, where he was able to win the friendship of Russia to such an extent that it proved of great value to the United States in the course of the war.
