THE BEAUTIFUL HAND.
Dccision That Stood the Test of
All Time.

All Time.
There was dispute among three
ladies rs to which had the most beau
tifIl hard. One sat by stream and
dipped her hand into the water and
held 1t up, another pluckcd strawber-
rles until the ends of her fingers were
pink and another gathered violcts until
her hands were fragrant. An old, hag-
gard woman. passing by, asked, "Who
will give me II gift, for am poor2" All
three denied her, but another who sat
near, unwashed In the stream, I'M
stained with fruit. unadorncd with
flowers, gave her n little gift and satis-
fed The poor woman, and then she nsk-
cd them what was the dispute. and
they told her and lifted up before her
their beautiful hands. beautiful In
deed" said she when she saw them.
but when they asked her which was the
most beautiful she said, ut Is not the
hand which is washed clean In the
brook. It is not the hand that is tipped
with red. 1t Is not the hand that is gar
landed with fragrant flowers. but the
hand that gives to the poor Is the most
beautiful" AS she said these words
her wrinkles fed, her staff was thrown
away and she stood before them an
angel from heaven, With authority to
decide the question in dispute, and that
decision has stood the test of all time.

few sarcastic filings al the genuine,

which the Post takes to task the Il

Thomas Jefferson, gentleman Of

Broadway by policeman carly one
morning more than a week ago. II Is

All this-tnnk place at about 80 a.

draws the following comparisons:

Discrimination - Pennsylvania and
3. & O. Alleged Offenders.
Philadelphia, May 16. - When the
interstate commerce commission re-
sumed its investigation, testimony
was elected tending to show favor
itism by railroad companies in the dis
tribution OF coal cars
Arthur Hale, superintendent of
transportation of the Baltimore K
Ohio railroad, was called Through
him it was brought out that the Mer-
chants Coal company and the Somer-
set Coal company had frequently re-
ceiyed many cars in excess of their
percentage allotment, while various
smaller companies suffered a short
age. Mr. Hale explained that the
shortage shown on the records did not
indicate that the companies suffered
for lack of cars, as in many cases
these companies could not handle
their full complement of cars. An in
teresting point in Superintendent
Hale's testimony was the fact that the
Baltimore e. Ohio company had made
frequent changes in the percentage
basis. Counsel for the commission
called attention to the fact that these
changes were made at times when
certain companies had received cars
far in excess of their percentage al
lotment. Mr., Hale said that these eX-
cesses and shortage We're not eyened
up when the new percentages were
adopted
G. w. Clark OF Altoona, Pa, a car
distributor in the employ of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, proved to
be an interesting witness He was
asked how he determined the daily
percentage of distribution, and replied
that the cars were distributed accord
ing TO the capacity in various regions.
The conditions, he declared, varied
from day to day and the required dis
tribution was ascertained through
coihplete ydId ISpolla anu reports VI
cars en- route. Counsel for the com
mission induced the witness to admit
that he had received numerous tele-
graphic orders regarding special dis
tribution of cars.
Clark admitted he had received or
ders 10 make special assignments OF
cars to the Berwlnd White Coal com
pany, and that frequently these as
signments were made previous to the
regular percentage distribution. Mr.
Clark admitted that special allotments
had al times to certain extent inter
fered with an equitable distribution Of
cars.
