.FLEAs KEEPING THEM BUSY
State Employees in Michigan's Capital
Complain of Guinea Pigs

Lansing, Mich.-The state highway
department and the state dairy and
food department occupy quarters in
the state block on one of the principal
corners of Washington avenue EN-
ployes of the highway department COM
plain that the food department has
caused the building to become infested:
with, fleas, which are source of great
annoyance. ..
The food department keeps a num-.
Der Of guinea pigs to which it feeds
suspicious articles of food to ascertain
whether they contain poison. If the
food is poisonous the pigs die; If it is
healthy they grow fat. 49,
The food departments pigs are fat.
Fat guinea pigs attract f1eas and hence
the complaint Of the highway en-
ployes. They assert that the fleas
climb the stairs and interrupt the
states business.
When some of the highway depart
ment clerks should be engaged in ex-
aiming specifications for stone road
or swriting out speeches for the high
way commissioner they are to be found
chasing the elusive flea. They re-
spectfully request that the guinea pigs
be abolished.

Titles Of Novels.

Titles of novels are seldom novel;
for they ring the changes on the sue
'cessful work, keeping the grog tone
sounding. Just as every musical
comedy for years was about some girl
or other. You will look down the new
lists of novels, and there is always a
house as the keynote of the title. The
House with the Seven Gables" no
doubt suggested the vogue The
House with the Green Shutters
brought it into fashion. And now
there have been houses of everything
the ingenious writer can think of.
Tears, Laughter, Silence-and the lat
est is the House of Souls" The nov.
elist is as superstitious as the actor,
and believes that the occurrence OF
Elizabeth" or House" in his title
spells fortune. We long for a book
with Jane" or bathroom" on the

DEMAND RECORDS
FROM RAILROADS
MINNESOTA OFFICIALS INSIST ON
RIGHT TO INVESTIGATE
AT FIRST HAND.
Testimony Of Auditor Showing In
crease Of Earnings in Other States
Leads to Drastic Order Against
Great Northern Company.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 4.-The state
railroad and warehouse commission
Thursday entered an order COMPEL
ing the railroads whose officials have
given testimony in the merchandise
rate hearing, which has been in prog
ress during the present year and
which was lately resumed, to produce
at the office of the commission all
records on which their statistics have
been based. +.
This order is the most sweeping one
of the kind ever made by the COM
mission, and if the commission is in
clined to enforce it, in detail, it would
mean the bringing of the record of
all railroads doing business in Mime
sofa to the state capitol.
Attorney Severance, representing
the railroads, said to Commissioner
Staples: "Why, if this order is en-
forced it would mean the removal of
the offices of all the railroads to the
state capitol" Mr.. Staples replied
by saying it would not do that If the
railroads would permit the examina-
ton of the records in their own Offices.
Order Is Far-Reaching.
This order of the commission is the
result of request made by Attorney
Manahan, representing the shippers
of Hastings, Mimi, made at the hear
ing Wednesday, after the auditor of
the Northern Pacific railroad had
given a lot of statistics showing how
tho earnings of the railroad had de-
creased in Minnesota while they had
increased in Iowa and Illinois. Mr.
Manahan claimed that the statistics
did not show actual facts.
The order of the commission is d.
rected at the Great Northern rail-
road, but may be made applicable to
any road on request of the shippers
