dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block. Butte. Mont, was en-

 All things that may be attained by human endeavor are possible to you.
 But If you fill the stomach with drugs instead of food. you get only an unna- tural stimulation which leaves you in worse condition than you were before . Coffee is drug. In time that sort of whole nervous system. Sure. sure. surel lady of Mamaroneck, N. Y.. tells how she became a nervous wreck through the use of coffee:

WINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS.
InqulsitIve Traveller Evens Up Scores
 with the Crusty Stage Driver.

InquIsitive Traveller Evens Up Scores
 with the Crusty Stage Driver. Boston Herald.
 Wallace Cummings used to drive the old stage which ran between Brldgton and Portland One day Wallace had as a passenger out of Portland young city chap or dude. as Wallace called him. The scenery along the stage route was both beautiful and diversified; the young man was much interested, and as he sat on the box, or post of honor, beside Wallace literally piled him with questions as to what mountain that was and what river this was. etc.
 The old driver, who detested this sort of interrogation. stood 1t as long as he could. Finally he blurted out: Say, stranger, if you'll mind your bus mess I'll mind mine"
 Thus snubbed. the young man re- lapsed into silence.
 They had driven about ten miles farther when they came to a long hill, where the driver was obliged to ap- ply the brake. As he showed his foot toward 1t he immediately noticed that the mall bag, which always lay theee, was gone. Evidently 1t had dropped off along the road.
 Wallace stopped his horses; then, breaking the long silence. he said: Say, stranger. did you see that mail bag slide ofrg'
 ''Yes, I did: some ten miles back" calmly remarked the young man.
 Well. why in thunder didn't you tell me?" gasped the astonished driver.
 The dude" looked him squa-ely in the eye for a moment, and then he drawled, initiating Wallace's tone: Say, driver, you mind your business and I'll mind mine"
 The rest of the journey was driven in cold silence.

WHAT THE NEW RAILROAD
 WILL MEAN TO PENSACOLA
Considered More Important at This Particular Time Than Even the Panama Canal--Still Another
 Line is Now Projected.

Railroad is an appendage of the Louis- yille and Nashville. And this same Louisville and Nashville Railroad has for Gulf business. The Louisville and Nashville has pushed in ahead of all It's other rivals. In jockeying for a ssi'ttoi seif to be s in t class by itself. A0"A
 When the great tide of commerce flows in and out of the Panama canal no railroad will be so well established, Nashville. And when this day comes Pensacola is confident of being pre-em- inently the port of entry and of export for the goods which will go through
 New Steamship Company.
 The city Is on the eve of another en. terprise which in a way grows out of which will largely contribute to the prosperity of the city. This Is the es- tabiishment of a line of freight and passenger steamers from PensaSola ,sscS vii, T1 do this business will be known as the Gulf Transit Company. J: M Roberts, one of the best known citizens of Pen man, Is now 1T, the West making final arrangements for the establishment of the line of steamers. The development of the puslness oa W. c. Jones. ':has been nothing short of remarkable: Ten years ago psnsasoia had no cotton business. could snow you hundreds of citizens of the place who had never seen a bale of cotton at that time. Last year the exports in cotton from Pensacola reached the enormous total of t4e,5eo Why, Pen- sacola does a bigger export business than Mobile, although the import busi- ness of Mobile, on account of that city's fruit trade Is larger. Now, take the single item of naval stores. Ten years ago Pensacola had no naval stores trade. Now 1t has buyers from all over the world and the business last year reached the total of S3.000,0o0. fin the years past the lumber trade has been the mainstay of Pensacola It is still highly important to the city and to come. But the business men in the city. the people in the country, are turning their attention and most sue cessfuily so, to other lines of trade The few figures have given you in a way outline the growth and the dsvel- opraent of the port of Pensacola. They are but promise of what the future will be when the big ditch Is dug.

STATEMENT BY COMER
TALKS or COMMISSIONS STAND ON
 RATES.
Says That . Majority of Body Appear to Have Adopted Argumcnts of the Railroads and Their
 Attorneys.

Birmingham, May 1s.--(Speciall-- President B. B. Conner of the Ala bama Railroad Commission. who re- turned last night from Montgomery where the Commission was Tn session for several days recently considering the question of a general revision or freight rates In this State, against mittee took decided stand. today gave out a statement in regard to the mat
 He said that majority of the Com mission appear to have adopted the statements of the railroads and the ar guments of the railroad lawyers. He pointed out that 1t is remarkable fact that in placing their valuations for the purpose of taxing the people the railroads place them at the highest value. while in fixing their values for the purpose of being taxed they nx them at the lowest rate.
 In making their statement of earn ings, as a basis on which they can continue high charges. they are made remarkably low. said MT. Conner, not withstanding their general earnings as shown to their stockholders have in creased very largely during the past ten years, yet those earnings when submitted to the Railroad Commission do not show the same relative increase. In fact, their earnings, like she ten commandments. said MT. Conner, stand practically unchanged, notwithstanding their general reports show that the conditions of Alabama have greatly improved and the tonnage has largely increased.
 MT. Conner Is going East for . short rest and when he returns to Alabama he will prepafe and make public a dis senting opinion on the subject of rate revision in Alabama and why such re- vision should have been made Tn line with the just demands of the people.
