Sumptuary Laws
Indiana, Wisconsin, Nebraska and a
few other Western states have laws
directed against the smoking of cigar
cites. Bills Of the same sort have
been before several states in the same
section, including Illinois, Michigan
and Minnesota. In most cases these
laws are so strong that they are weak.
They are SO sweeping and so harsh
that the offenders are taking their
cases to the higher courts with the
hope of having them declared uncon-
stitutional. These enactments. most
OF which are recent, are a manifesto
ton OF the radical spirit which aims
to reform people by statute or by in
timidation. Which often breaks out in
the West.
Kansas has prohibition, but Carrie
Natiof. thought it was evaded, and she
set out with her Ratchet to perform in
her own way, and without compensa-
ton "a work which the police and the
courts, in totally different sort OF
a way, We're paid to do, but which she
said they neglected to do. Ostensibly
the anti-cigarette laws are in the in
terest OF public health and the public
morals. So was the whisky barrel

century ago, OF which Carrie Nations
outbreak is a belsted eruption. Some.
times these crusades DO good for a

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Had1ey Of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce Nothing could better show
how#a railroad works for the interest
OF the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
OF the Aroostook region Is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a mar.

thickly settled regions Of New Eng

transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at a very low level.

their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities Of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
OF potatoes from the Michigan fields
AT normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the custom

have rotted on the farms To help

rates on potatoes to every readable
market. even in carrying them in large
quantities to place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Main Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered
decrease in its revenue from potatoes.
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crops and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. II the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken.
because it Is well established that IL
a rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce-
dure. II the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tations they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany

CHAPTER XIX.
Clarence Departs.

ooh" thought the sorcerer ito
| night he is going to kilronan! l am
| just in time to hear his plans!"
And crouching like great toad in
the mouth of the passage behind the
| leaning stone, he strained his ears to
| hear more.
He had little need to strain his ears,
for Clarence spoke clearly and in a
distinct tone.
And you must leave me here alone
again, dear Clarence?" exclaimed Hell
en-, covering close to her lovers side.
1t was not very pleasant place to
be left alone in. Night had already
begun, and but for the light of lamp,
and candle which burnt upon that
rock which had served the lovers for a
table as they ate, the interior of the
cave would have been as dark as a
sealed tomb
You need fear nothing, my dear
girl replied Clarence, kissing her.
Capt. Osred is dead, and their fierce
henchman, Bashfort, is dead, too; and,
best of all, zeno Sosia, the most to be
feared of all. is dead."
"Ah, is he?"' thought the listening
sorcerer, grinning exultantly behind
the slab.

continued Clarence, 81 should not dare

But all our enemies in Dun Aengus are

Now that Bashfort and Capt Osred
are dead, we shall not be forced to
remain here so long as l feared. When
| was at kilronan three years ago, |
saved the life of an old fisherman
there, and if he is still living there he
will aid me to procure a good and safe
sailboat. AS soon as l shall have S..
cured the boat | shall return here for
you, and then, together, we will de-
part from Dun Aengus and for Gal
way"
For Galway? All! doubtless my
mother and Lord de Lavet are still
there! They may see us and part us
again exclaimed Helen, alarmed by
the thought.
They will not part us again, dear
Helen" replied Clarence, accompany
ing his encouraging words with a kiss
whose soft sound nearly made the lis
tening sorcerer grind his teeth with
jealous rage. IT will find some cler-
gyman in Galway" continued Clar-
ence, whom will persuade to make
us man and wife within an hour after
we arrive there
ooh, how fast this daring beggar
trots!" thought the sorcerer.
"Then, with you on my arm as my
wife, dear Helen" continued Clarence
with another kiss that nearly drove
the hidden sorcerer wild, 81 will seek
