Two Plans PROMISED.

THE President has often stated that the
railway companies should have legal pro-
lection against any injustice. A statute can
easily be drawn to effect this result. Two
plans have been proposed One plan is to
vest in the commission power, after giving
a fair hearing to the railway companies, to
correct any rate that Is unreasonable or IN
justly discriminatory or otherwise unlaw-
full, and to provide for review of the &C
ton of the commission by the courts. The
other plan Is to give the commission power
to apply in the first instance to the court in
summary proceeding to restrain any I'M
lawful or unjust discrimination or other lille
gality. Many of those most familiar with the
subject believe that the better plan would be
the more speedy and efficacious one. But If
those who advocate vesting in the interstate
commerce commission the power by its own
order to control rates are in good faith
seeking to carry out the policy of the
President they should be willing to accept
a statute providing substantially as fol-
lows,
Whenever any rate, fare or charge es-
tablished any such common carrier for any
service Shall be unreasonable or unjustly
discriminatory or otherwise in violation of
any provision of the interstate commerce
act the commission shall have power after
ascertaining the facts and hearing the par
ties affected, to make order modifying
such rate. fare or charge, SO far as may be
necessary in order to remove the unreason-
ableness or unjust discrimination or other
ilegality thereof. and such order shall take
erect at the expiration of such time as the
commission shall prescribe not less than
twenty days after notice of the order shall
have been given.

ooPHeRs USED THEIR HrTs.
Evolved Clever Scheme by Which
They Got the Bread.

An Arizona friend of mine lately
told me this interesting incident
about the gophers that infested his
cabin when he was a miner The go
piers ate up his bread He could
not hide II from them nor put it be-
yond their reach.
Finally he betthought him to stick
his loaf on the end OF long iron
poker that he had and then stand up
the poker in the middle OF his floor
Still when he came back to his cabin
ne would find HIS loaf eaten full Of
holes. One day, having nothing to
do, he concluded to watch and see
how the gophers reached the bread.
and this was what he saw:
The animals climbed up the side Of
his log cabin. ran along one OF the
logs TO a point opposite the bread,
and then sprang out sidewise toward
the loaf, which each enc struck, but
upon which only one seemed able to
to effect Judgement. Then this one
would cling to the loaf and act as a
stop 10 his fellows when they tried
second tine, his body affording
them the bar rier they required. My
friend felt sure tnat this leader DELHI
efately ana consciously aided the
others in securing footing on the
loaf.-Outing.

"cut 1t Down to a Stick"

Congressman Stephenson told this
one:
Willie Stinson, while editor of a
paper at Ashland, Wis, fell in love
with the pretty stepdaughter of the
publisher. The old man tried in vain
to get rid of Stinson, and finally dis
charged him. Stinson went to Milwau-
kee and worked there for about three
months. The young woman explained
to all friends that the engagement was
dissolved.
Finally Stinson went back to Ash.
land by country road on horseback.
He drove to the congregational
church, where the pretty stepdaugh.
ter OF the publisher met him. She
was surrounded by numerous girl
friends. Stinson had been recognized
by several people as he rode to the
church, and he was in hurry TO have
the ceremony performed.
"Do you want the complete service:"
inquired the minister.

Stinson in printers English. The

this, remind me of Lord Chesterfield

IN AN EARTHQUAKE.
PANIC UNCOMFORTABLE FOL.
LOWED EARTH's THRILL.
citIzens Of Wellington, Australia,
Young and Old, PortIy and Slim,
Alike Showed Fondness for the
Open Air When Buildings Rocked.

Citizens Of Wellington. New Zea-
land, had some interesting experiences
on the occasion Of their earthquake
on the morning Of Aug. 9. A yelling
ton paper describes the quake and en-
suing excitement as follows: There
came little thrill that trickled up
and down ones spine. Then another
little thrill and a shiyer, and a shake
that gradually developed into a rattle.
1t was an earthquake; but for few
seconds nobody was much alarmed.
Suddenly the tremor changed to a
convulsion and vigorous rocking
that ratified eyerybody's teeth in his
head and urged the inmates OF shops,
ofiices. hotels and houses generally to
seek the open air with great velocity.
With almost complete unanimity those
Indoors broke for the staircases and
exits, and sedate seniors and stout
citizens who never ran before dis
played wonderful dash In whirling
themselves into the streets at pace
that would have done credit to a pro-
fessional sprinter
in less than five seconds the foot
paths were crowded with startled citi-
zens; clerks with pens behind their
ears. shop girls hatless and dishey-
eled, portly citizens blown and pant
ing with the effort OF covering twenty
yards In fifth OF . second, and near
ly everybody who was able TO move al
all. Work was forgotten at the bid
ding OF the earthquake shock. hard.
ened topers left their glasses unfn-
ished and rushed out OF the bars, and
for some time the streets were thick
with barehesded people excitedly eI-
planning to strangers their sensations
and their amazement at the unsuspect-
ed agility they had displayed. II vas
some time before people MAZE up
their minds that the shake was a solo
performance. and not merely the pre-
lude TO a subterranean symphony.
The girls from the factories, in par
ticular. could not be persuaded to re.
turn to their work.
''WellingtonS tall buildings waved
considerably. A man high up on the
face Of one Of them cleaning windows
held on tight and received cheer
from the crowd-after the panic was
over. Men working on telegraph
poles also stuck to their posts'-hav-
ing no alternative. The shock af-
fected people in different ways In
several OF the dry goods stores some
OF the girls collapsed. their limbs re-
fusing TO support them; others faint
ed, and others became hysterical.
One leading business man who is not
unknown In shipping circles, found his
legs refused to support him, though he
had a great desire to reach the open
air. Keep cool-keep cool.' was the
advice given by a head clerk to his
staff in one important office. and all
the while he was trembling like one
