REBATE EVIL Is "scOTcHED."
Filming Ct Beef Packers Has Modify.
ing Effect on Agitation for Rate
REGULATION,


Washington, October 24.-The con-
yiction and fin:ng of four members
of the firm Of Schwarzschild & SulZ-
berger ies. week, for accepting re-
bates, forms the chief topic Of dis
cussion here among the returning
politicians. Praise for the president
and the department Of Justice is com
ing in from a" Over the country. 1t
appears TO be the. general opinion that
the rebate evil is effectively scotched.
A successful precedent has been es-
tablished in rebate cases, and here
after, it is alleged. the government 8
path will be comparatively easy in OBJ
aiming similar convictions if future
cases Of this kind arise.
The general belief as to the re-
s..t OF the tining OF the packers is
Optimistic. The current opinion holds
that il WI have all immediate and
lasting effect in c1lrbing those large
shippers who demand determinations
in their favor from the railroads. II
the government is on the alert to
enforce the law and che large shippers
viii be fined $4,000 whenever they
are discovered accepting rebates, the
rebate will soon become as defunct as
the great aux. And rapacious shippers
that there is every reason to believe
that the government will rot be sat
isfed by the payment Of fine for a
second ofense.
The belief grows that the decision
OF the United States district court in
Chicago will have a great effect il
modifying the demands Of those who
are agtating for rate regulation. Con.
servative opinion in Washington re-
CARDS the conviction of the packers as
an effective demonstration Of the con-
tentfcn that existing legislation is
competent to deal with unjust rate
determinations and as supporting the
view that there is plenty Of law on
the statute books, if the government
will only see to it's enforcement. Those
who opposed additional railroad legis-
lation before the senate committee on
interstate commerce at it's special
session last spring are pointing to the
TACT that they reiterated over and
over again tLat existing laws, active.
ly enforced, are adequate and are say

feoplc Will Drink Coffee When II "Doss
Such Things"

Il began to use Postum because the
old kind Of coffee had so poisoned my
whole system that was on the point
OF breaking down. and the doctor
warned me that must quit it.
my chief ailment was nervousness
and heart trouble.
ANY unexpected noise would cause
me the most painful palpitation. make
me faint and weak.
Il had heard Of Postum and began
to drink it when I left OF the old COT
fee. It began to help me just As soon
as the old effects Of the other kind of
coffee passed away. It did not stimu-
late me for 4 while. and then leave me
weak and nervous as coffee used to do.
Instead Of that it built up my strength
and supplied q constant vigor to my
system which can always rely on.
1t enables me to do the biggest kind OF
a days work without getting tired.
All the heart trouble, ETC.. has passed
away.

The Latest Fish Story.

Peter Graves, of White Cloud, Mimi.
tells the following fish story About three
months ago Graves COW was taken with a
fit of choking and he thought she would
die. In his efforts to relieve the cow the
idea occurred to him that if he would pound
the COW sides it would cause her to cough.
'I grabbed up fence board and struck
her once or twice" says Pete, land she
coughed up speckled trout at least foot
long that she had drawn into her throat
while drinking at the river. 1 thought
nothing more of this until three or four
days ago, when calf was born. The calf
is without hair, and is speckled all over
with blood-red spots, and when the COW
goes to the river to drink, that calf will
plunge into the water, dive under logs and
cut all manner Of antics in the water.

Everybody but George Washington Bid
die He could not buy because he had no
money. He was forced to reconcile HIM
self to the situation.
"Hang it all, - he exclaimed profanely,
''there | was going to propose to Peggy
and buy her a ring-just on the strength
of that $500. Now it means just wait,
and wait, and wait.
But if George Washington Biddle had
been astounded when he had won out on
the decline of Consolidated, he was still
more so when the local express wagon
drove up to the Biddle house on Christmas
morning and unloaded everything it had,
"Must be some mistake" said Biddle
to the expressman. The expressman
snorted.
"Ain't no mistake" he answered, ''not
if your name is George Washington Bid
die, and this here is 10 Sylvan Place. J"
Biddle inspected the packages. They were
all plainly marked.
''Dear me- he exclaimed, II can't un-
derstand it. They-they must belong
here.
Just at that moment the postman swung
along and handed him letter and a small
square box.
Were the Biddle family surprised? They
were. Surprised from the tops of their
heads to the soles of their Shoes For
George hustled about and knocked the
covers off everything and opened them up.
And there they were.
Come, now," he exclaimed after
awhile, ''get over it, for you and land
Peggy Wallace, are all going to have a
day in New York.
"Georger' gasped his mother, how did
you-ever- -do-it?'
George waved his hand "It's all DUE,
he said truthfully, "to the generosity of a
man named Smith" He rubbed bump
on the back of his head as he said it.
That was as near as the family ever got
to the secret of George Washington Bid
die. That afternoon at the theatre George
whispered into the ear of Miss Peggy Wal
lace, and receiving some kind of an answer,
he slipped a fine solitaire upon her finger.
SO it was satisfactory all around.
Beyond that George Washington Biddle
was $500 ahead of the game. For in that
letter the postman brought he found that
sum: and little note beside. The note
read as follows:
Dear Sir note from some CORES
pondence in your wallet, that you took a
little flyer on the street. [ want to say
that that's the way I started, and that if
you really want to lose your money, it's
pleasanter and safer to be knocked in the
head as you were the other night. Don't
do it any more. The enclosed five is mine
and it's my Christmas present to you.
Merry Christmas to all and to all good
night. Yrs, S. A. S."
''He needn't know how or where got
the extra fve," said Mr. Smith, to him
self. Smith knew, however. For on the
night of December "a he had cracked a
provincial bank and relieved it of about
50, 600 in bills Five hundred of this had
gone to Mr.. George Washington Biddle,
to whom it never occurred that it was stolen
money. The balance lasted Mr.. Smith
until the second day of January.

The Man with the Toothache.
From London Tit-Bits.


A man with the toothache doesn't care
about anything else. The glories of the
world pail on his taste, the wonders of Gre
alton seem as naught.
The tooth becomes volcano of belching
fury and the rest of life hidden in cloud
of its billowing smoke.
You can't borrow anything from man
with the toothache. You can't instruct
and improve him. You tell him that the
world travels at the rate of 1000 miles
minute and it doesn't startle him in the
the least. He simply groans.
You say to him, "My friend, there are
stars so far off that their light has not yet
reached this world" but he doesn't mind
it. He only howls.
You tell him that some of the sun spots
are 100, 900 miles in diameter, and that
one of them would take Jupiter at one
mouthful, but it is nothing to him. The
toothache is neglectful of scientific truths.

Good Rules.

Here are some rules of conduct made up
by Thomas Jefferson which have seldom
been seen in print.
Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do today.
Never trouble another for what you can
do yourself.
Never spend your money before you
have it.
Never buy what you do not want because
it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
Pride costs us more than hunger and
cold.
We never repent Of having eaten too
little.
Lots of excuses are not worth the trouble
it takes to make them.
There is no such thing as an idle rumor.
1t is always industrious.
A fish lays more eggs than hen and
doesn't cackle about it, either.

COUNTIES OF MARYLAND.
Facts Told Before the Historical
Society.

At the November meeting of the Mary
land Historical Society, held last week in
Baltimore, paper entitled ''The Counties
of Maryland; Their Origin and Bounda-
ries, was read by DIR. Edward B. Mat
thews. DIR. Matthews said that the coun-
ties of this State occupy prominent po-
sition, not only because there are so few
townships of any Importance in them that
persons of prominence who reside in them
refer to themselves as being from certain
county rather than from the township near
where they live. He said that but little
is known as to how the counties were form
ed except by students.
Continuing, he said T.:
Some of the counties were founded by
the Governor, some by the General Assem-
bly, and others by the personal instigation
of the proprietaries the-Lords Baltimore.
One interesting feature, and one that is not
generally known is that 13 counties COM
prising the State were erected before the
Revolutionary war, and a large number of
them before the eighteenth century.
In tracing the development of the coun-
ties, it is interesting to note how they
originated in number. For instance, Bal
timore county at one time not only included
that portion of the State that bears the
name now, but extended over what is now
Hartford, and even took in what are now
the counties of Cecil and Kent. 1t also
extended few miles south of the Patapsco,
taking in large portion of what is now
Anne Arundel county.
Another feature of historical interest is
that during the temporary control of the
Puritans, from 1854 to 1856, every county
but one had its name changed. Anne
Arundel became Providence, Calvert be-
came Patuxent and St. Marys became Pow
tomack. As soon as the puritans were
defeated and their power waned the original
county names were restored.
The Maryland Historical Society has re-
ceived from the New York Historical
society beautiful Roman gold medal
commemorative of that organization.
