CHEAP WATERWAYS.
The Best Means of Regulating Rail-

New York, Mar. THE develop
ment of the waterways of this coun-
try as the best means of regulating
railroad rates was advocated by Con-
gressman Joseph Ransdell, of Louis
lana, in an after dinner speech last
night at the annual banquet of the
North Side Board, of Trade in the
Bronx. He said that cheap freight
rates prevail in France and Germany
because of the numerous canals of
these countries, and called attention
to the small amount of money devot-
ed to the improvement of rivers in
this country.

The morning passed slowly as he lay
there, and the crowd on the sands be-

Just upon the rim OF the shadow
within which the man rested lay
rounded. gray-white stone. Towards
this n small child, whose feet and legs
we're still shining and wet with the
warm sea water, made her way with a
shout OF happy glee; and the man
sighed.
He glanced at the small intruder
with some annoyance visible upon his
face, but she was not noticing. She
hal seated herself upon the stone. and
all her attention was given to the task
OF disentangling a pair OF long black
stockings which were twisted about
her neck. He looked away again and

caught a vision Of pair OF reproach-
full blue eyes on the point Of tears. He
muttered. an exclamation and, hall
rising, set about the task OF disentan-
clement. When he had finished he be-
gan to cough, and the cough shook
him through and through. He leant
back painting against the rocks.
The owner of the blue eyes paused in
the act Of pulling on a black stocking
to look at him doubtfully.
"You coughs very hard. Haven't
you any candy?" she asked.
He smiled. "No, I'm afraid
haven't"

Cant make nice bows?" She tied
the laces of her second shoe with hot
and somewhat dirty fingers, and eyed
the result with fond pride.

He was not looking at them, but she
did not notice. She did not resent the
absent tone, either. being too absorbed
III the contemplation Of her footgear.
"Tisn't bit easy to tie bows. now
not since I've growed so much. !
growed all this much since Christmas. !"
She indicated on q sturdy black-stock-
inged leg a space Of about three
inches. Her tone held subtle expec-
tation OF his astonishment.
The man was coughing again. When
he could find his voice, he said, Real
ly!" with quite the requisite note OF
awe in his voice, and she rippled into
gleeful laugh.
"Just you walt till I've growed all
I've got in me! Then you'll be
s'prised." She laughed again at the
thought Of 1t. I'm going to be

AN ACCOMMODATING HEN.
Comes to Kitchen Every Morning and
Lays Egg in Time for
Breakfast,

New York.-North Albany has the
most accommodating hen on record.
A certain boarding house proprietress
in that enterprising section of the city
has introduced novelty into the
fresh egg market. She has a hen
which is SO well trained that it lays
an egg while you wait" This is the
modus operandi, vouched for by man
Fof undoubted veracity:
The hen comes to the back door
OF the house every morning and cac-
kles until the door is opened for It.
The housewife invariably gives the
hen a bit of green stuff, such as cab
bage or lettuce. as a tidbit. Then she
shows the fowl an egg, after which
she puts 1t into the woodbox.
The hen goes over to the box, looks
In and makes a great fuss before
jumping in. In the course Of short
time she adds to the stock Of eggs
by leaving a duplicate Of the one
placed in the box by the housewife.
Biddy then goes to the door and
cackles to have the door opened.
This little scene is enacted regular
" every morning, and up to date has
lasted for three weeks

POSITION OF PRESIDENT
HIS ATTITUDE REGARDING,
Rate BILL DEFINED.
Declares Allison Amendments Should
Be Adopted Unless Already IN
corporated in Measure.

Washington, May In view Of the
publications regarding the presidents
position on the question Of railroad
rate legislation and the amendments
proposed, an authoritative statment
was issued at the White House defin-
ing the presidents position. The
statement follows:
The so-called Allison amendment,
In the presidents Judgment, simply
states afirmatively what the president
believed is already contained in the
Hepburn bill; but, if there is the
slightest doubt as to its being thus
already contained in the bill, the
president would insist upon its being
put in, because unless it is thus CON
tanned the bill undoubtedly would be
void.
Therefore las incorporating the ALI.
son amendment under no circum-
stances would do anything but good.
and, as there is an honest doubt on
the part of some sincere adherents Of
the bill whether 1t is or is not all
ready, by implication, contained in the
bill, the president is clearly of the
opinion that the Allison amendment
should be put in and this without re-
gard to whether other amendments
are or are not adopted.
IF the Hepburn bill, therefore,
passes In this form, which is practical
" the exact form in which 1t passed
the house. it will be satisfactory to
the president who, from the begin
ming, has stated that the Hepburn
bill itself would be satisfactory. But
the president would like if, in addi-
ton to the Allison amendment, the
so-calIed Long and Overman amend
ments were adopted. While the presi-
dent regards these amendments with
favor and would like to see them
adopted, he does not in the least re-
gard them as vital, and feels that the
Hepburn bill would still be in excel
lent shape even without Them

that q diversity Of crops will bring the
largest financial returns and this the
DRY has been put into execution, with
satisfactory results, by one of the
largest and possibly most successful,
of North Dakota's bonanza farmers.
And If such was the result of his ex-
perience on the last crop, the 1905
crop, when his flax sold at only IL to
IA cents over wheat, there is all the.
more reason for expecting still better
returns this year. as wheat has de,
