Some oId-Time Punishments.


To punish a child in such a way that
it will see the direct connection be-
tween the correction and the fault is
one of the precepts of modern educa-
ton. The judge of the eighteenth cen
fury was not worried by such psyche
logical theories, but his decisions often
had the grim humor of fitness. What
could be better for the scold than a
cooling plunge, or for the wife beater
than a few lashes on his own back.
Alice Morse Earle instances, In book
on "Punishments of Bygone Days,
some of these picturesque but often
cruel sentences of the colonial court.
A. number of tender handed English
gallants joined 81 pioneer expedition to
Virginia. The weather was cold and
the work hard. When these soft
muscled young men were set at chop
ping trees their hands were sorely
blistered by the axe helves. With the
cries of pain many oaths were heard.
The president of the company soon put
a stop to this swearing by ordering a
can of cold water to be poured, down
the sleeve of the guilty one at every
oath he uttered
In colonial days hog stealing was
considered one Of the most serious OF
crimes. AT the first offense the thief's
ears were slit, at the second his ears
were nailed to a pillory, and at the
third he suffered death without benefit

Deceitful bakers and careless fish
dealers had to lose their ears" while
he who spoke detracting words had his
tongue bored by a bodkin.
A Frenchman travelling in America
in 1900, describes the ducking stool as
a pleasant mode of Furnishing scol-
ding woman. He says:
"Of members, We tonge is worst or
best. An yll tonge aft doth breede I'M
reste wortl1e ducking stoole.
In 1925 Thomas Hartley of Virginia
wrote OF his witnessing the execution
OF ducking stool sentence:
DAY before yesterday, at two OF W
Clock, saw this punishment given to
one Betsey Walker, who by We violence
OF her tonge made her house and her
neighborhood uncomfortable. They
had a machine for We purpose We be-

sey had stout stomache and would

It seems strange to read that almost
within the memory Of persons still liv-
ing Mrs. Anne Nokal was sentenced in
Washington, ID. c., to be ducked for
writing vituperative books. She ter
rorized the town by editing a paul
Pry" paper. Even John Quincy Adams
pronounced her virago and she was
arraigned as a common scold. Mrs.
Royal was sentenced to be ducked in
the Potomac. but was afterward re-
leased on paying fine.

the COMMISSION AND CAR SHORTAGE

The report of the Interstate Com
@nerce Commission, made public today,
in dealing with the question of car
shortage, complains that the commits
sion is practically without power un-
der any existing law to afford effective
assistance to the sufferers from this
condition. Aside from safety appli-
ances the lawlnaking power has as yet
given the commission no authority over
railroads as to equipment or over the
movement Of trains. Notwithstanding
this inability to enforce it's findings in
these respects, the commission has
taken up the investigation of the SUBJ
ject of car shortage with a view to as
certaining it's causes, the conditions in
different parts of the country, and TIE
remedies that can be applied, either
voluntarily by the carriers or by The
co,npuision of suitable enactments.
The report says that the inability of
shippers to procure cars for the move
ment of their traffic is the subject of
numerous and grievous complaints
which come to the commission from all
parts of the country. A car famine

Railroad snare after the pen
Gil worked Observation-Disclosures $4,000
Or a difference on each car taken
from the legitimate fair share of the
feeder of $27, and transferred to the
railroad company's pockets.
Nor is this all. This is but the first
step to kill off the cattle feeding in
Iowa. The Missouri river packer has
been promised most wonderfully dis
criminative rate of freight and per-
suaded to build great packing houses
at Missouri river points where this
cheap beef may be slaughtered and the
products sent on. This dressed meat
is called packing house products" The
rate prevailing on this until recently
was 12h cents for transportation to
Chicago.
Now let us see how this same car
of cattle comes out slaughtered:
Twenty head at 1000 lbs each could not
possibly dress out, including hides and
all by-products, over IS per cent, max
ing a total weight of the twenty head
$4,000, and which at 121A cents per
cwt is $685.. Hard competition you
will say for the Iowa farmer. 1t is so
intended. Nor is this ALL Suppose
this car is fed to a finish in Kansas
or some other western corn point, and
brought to Kansas City for shipment to
Chicago, the account would stand 10000
lbs Kansas City to Chicago at 23Ac
per cwt., the cost would be $1,000. The
same car from Marshalltown to Chi
cago at 22c would be s66. Marshalltown
is but a few miles less than one-haif
the distance from Kansas City to Chi
cago. vet the difference in the charge
is but $3.50
No doubt but what you could agree
with me that this is grossly discrirndn-
alive. Now why is this SO? Go back
with me where I mentioned the 100
bushel of corn to finish a fattened steer
for the market and you will find there
is where the sharp penciled gentleman
commenced his figuring thus:
Twenty steers of 10000 lbs at PC
from Marshalltown to Chicago yields to
the railroad company s66; 20 steers
have consumed 1000 lbs of corn; 1000
bushels Of corn weighs 10000 lbs;
$4,000 lbs of corn Marshalltown to
Chicago at Is cents for haul yields to
the railroad company $16S.
If by amy device, discrimfnative or
otherwise, he figures can draw out
