tigation into the alleged abuses of

ests were being injured by differ
entails in freight rates.

had been an agreement as to the
tonnage to be allowed each road

another less, a settlement was made.

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.

Man and animal are both making
a ceaseless struggle for success. The
law Of survival of the Attest is doing
its work in all the animal world
With tooth and talon each animal
aclfshly fights for the mastery.
Men fight for success as fcrcely as
do the brutes. But they do not use
teeth and claws. They use cunning
aud skin with their wits men fight
as desperately today as they fought
with clubs il the Stone Age In the
arena Of competition they face each
other as body as did the gladiators
or Rome or Corinth
But there is this difference:
The man who ignts unfairly can
no longer claim to win n in climb

many different models for the wolfe gowns,

material IS far in excess of what IS sensible
to pay if ones income is limited. But there
are plenty of most charming colors and at
tractive designs in the cheaper qualities,
just as there are many attractive. becom-

The fashion of yoke and Culfs Of lace Is
still a favorite for the trimming Of the
waist, while on the skirt pipings of satin
bias folds of the material or narrow velvet
ribbon are all in fashion. Light colors are
preferred to dark. and the bright rather

wide range of choice. and the cost Of the
