Best Treatment for a Burn,

If for no other reason, Cham berlain's
Salve should be kept in every household
on account of its great value in the
treatment of burns. It.allays the pain
almost instantly, and unless the injury
is a severe one, heals the parts without
leaving a scar. This salve is also un-
equaled for chapped hands, sore nipples
and diseases of the skin. Price, rs

Beautifyins the Roadsides Of ceyIon.
Eighteen years ago or more an Off

His face pictured bewilderment, but
also determination to persevere. IAN
interesting combination, admit. But
from your appearance this cannot al
ways have been your home?"
"Oh, thank you. I believe not al
ways; but wonder at your being able
to discern my superiority to these sur
! roundings. And do you know your
questioning is becoming quite per-
sonal? Does that yield me an equal
privilege?" s.--
He bowed, perhaps relieved at thus
permitting her to assume the initia-
tive, and rested lazily back upon the
grass, his eyes intently studying her
face.
II suppose from your clothes you
must be soldier. What Is that figure
Z on your hat for?"
'"The number of my regiment, the
Seventh cavalry"
Her glance was bit disdainful as
she coolly surveyed him from head to
foot II should imagine that strong,
capable appearing fellow like you
might do much better than that There
is so much work in the world worth
doing, and so much better pay"
What do you mean? Isn't SOL
dier's life worthy one?"
oh, yes, of course, in way. We
have to have soldiers, I suppose; but
II were man I'd hate to waste all
my life tramping around at SIG a
month" -
He smothered what sounded like
rough ejaculation, gazing into her de-,
mure eyes as if he strongly suspected
q joke hid in their depths. "Do-do
you mistake me for an enlisted man ?"
"Oh, I didn't know; you said you
were soldier, and that's what 1 al
ways heard they got. am so glad if
they give you more. I was only going
to say that I believed could get you
a good place in McCarthy's store II
you wanted It. He pays $65 and his
clerk has just left"
Brant stared at her with open
mouth, totally unable for the moment
to decide whether or not that inno-
cent, sympathetic face masked mis-
chief. Before he succeeded in regain
ing confidence and speech, she had
risen to her feet, holding back her
skirt with one hand.
Really, I must co. she announced
calmly, drawing back toward the slight
opening between the bushes. mo
doubt you have done fully as we'll as
you could, considering your position
in life; but this has proved another
disappointment. You have fallen, far,
very far, below my IDEAL Good-by.''
He sprang instantly erect, his cheeks
flushed. Please don't go without
further word. We seem predestined
to misund derstand. 4 am even willing
to confess myself fool in the hope
Of some time being able to convince
you otherwise. You have not even
told me that you live here; nor do I
know your name 81
She shook her head positively, re-
pressed merriment darkening her eyes
and Wrinkling the corners Of her
mouth. It would be highly improper
to intro roduce myself to stranger

He seated himself upon the soft
grass ledge, retaining the hat in his
hands. '.You must be an odd sort of a

TWO-CEMT FARE
BILL VETOED BY
GOV. HUGHES

Albany, n. Y, June 11--Gov. Hughes
today vetoed the bill which would have
compelled fiat passenger rate of two
cents a mile on every railroad system In
the state more than $50 miles long.
In his veto message the governor
says that "the passage OF the bill was
not preceded by legislative investiga-
tion or suitable inquiry under the au-
thority OF the state. Nor is the fixing
Of this rate predicated' on reports or
statistics officially collated which
would permit fair conclusion as to
the justice OF it's operation with refer
ence TO the railroads within it's pur-
view"
The governor says also in part:
Injustice on the part OF the rah-
road corporations towards the public
does not justify injustice on the part
Of the state towards the railroad cor
porations. The action OF government
should be fair and impartial, and upon
this every citizen. whatever his inter-
est. is entitled 10 insist We shall make
matters not better, but worse, if TO
cure one wrong we establish another.
The fact that those in control OF rail-
road corporations have been guilty OF
grossly improper flnanciering and of
illegal and Injurious determinations
points clearly TO the necessity OF eff
fective state action, but does not re-
quire or warrant arbitrary reprisals
"In dealing with these questions
democracy must demonstrate it's ca
pacity TO act upon deliberation and TO
deal Justly
"It is OF the greatest importance not
only that railroad corporations should be
compelled to respect their public obliga-
tions. but also that they should be per-
mitted 10 operate Under conditio which
will give fair return for their service.
Upon this depends not simply the security
OF investors, but the security OF their en-
ployes and the protection of every form
OF industry and commerce through the
maintenance and extension of necessary
transportation facilities. Nothing could be
more opposed TO the interests OF the COM
munity as a whole than 10 cripple the
transportation corporations by arbitrary
reduction of earnings.
Large and prosperous suburban COM
munities have been built up through the
offer of Communication rate much less than
the proposed maximum Upon the main
tenance of these rates, many thousands
of our citizens rely. Considerable differ
enoe exist between the railroad corpora
tions with respect to the territory they
serve and the cost OF service. and II is
manifest that what would be fair for one
might he far from fair for another"
The governor refers 10 the public service
commissions provided for in the law re-
Gently enacted and odds that provision
is made for inquiry into matters or freight
rates and passenxfer fares and for the
fixing Of such rates as shall he found Just
and reasonable. II a passenger rate of
two cents mile Is just and reasonable,
Il can be fixed. If It is not Just and
reasonable Il should not he fixed
1T will be said that this requires time
and investigation. but It will not require
any longer time or any more protracted
investigation than are necessary TO reach
a right result.

BRYCE ON THE
PLEASURES Of
LATER LIFE

Chicago, June 11.-Ambassador James
Bryce delivered the convocation Grafton
at the graduation exercises at the
University OF Chicago today His sub
ject was What University lnstruc-
tion May Do to Provide Intellectual
Pleasures for Later Life"
The amba ssador opened his address
by commenting upon the fact that pro-
duction and transportation has been
transformed by science. and, he assert
ed, the effect OF science is also strong
ly felt In education.
Sixty years ago he said. science was
not given a prominent place in the
curriculum OF schools and universi
ties and now II is trying TO relegate
the study OF language and literature
to a secondary place. In some parts
OF the world II is becoming necessary
to insist upon the Importance OF the
human as opposed TO the natural or
scientific subjects.
"All education has two sides" he said.
"Tt is meant to impart the knowledge, the
skill. the habits OF diligence and concen-
tration which are needed to insure practi-
cal success II Is also meant to form the
chartceer, to implant taste. to cultivate
the Imagination and the emotions 10 pre-
pare man To enjoy those delights which
belong to hours OF leisure. and to the in
ner IRE Whlcn goes on, or ought 10 go on
all the time within HIS own heart.
Every one OF us ought 20 have sec

which he leads among others for the pur-
pose OF his vocation, be IL TO gain money
or power or be Il 10 serve his country or
his neighbor. He ought 10 have some pur-
suit or taste TO which he can turn from
the daily routine. What ever the taste or
pursuit may be. whether OF higher or
commoner type. It is good for him. but.
OF course the more wholesome and eleva-
ting the taste or pursuit is so much the
better for him.

Nowhere in the world does there seem

ceives a university education as here in
America. The effects OF this will doubt
