tics or trust floating instead of hang

crawl through back window. The

His excuse. although it may have
looked ingenious to him, was lame and
triding by the side of the excuse of the
man who was caught robbing a poor
fund and who claimed that he had to
steal to support his mother. When
the unfeeling justice asked him where
his mother lived he was obliged to own
up that he didn't know.
There are women in the world who
can get along on a mere pittance, but
we greatly fear that a mother who
was at all robust would starve to death
on such support as that. 1t wouldn't
even keep her in hatpin money.

Milk Prices and Quality.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star
The Stars editorial, Friday 90. Lower
Meat Prices" showing drift downward in
all food price, in general. comes as the
sunshine through the clouds. Prices are
too high, especially in Washington. The
rule of live and let live" has been
ignored
The milk price is exhorbitant, not only
as to quantity, but in the quality. That
reminds me of a story l heard last We'd
nesday morning. when Northwest Wash
intgon. for several hours was without
water-some Waterman pipe broken Two
men were talking. Said one: This morn
ing no water running-pipes busted and
everybody without water. A dilemma-no
water, no coffee, no tea, no chocolate
nothing to moisten the palate. Only milk
to fall back on So 1 opened my door to
get my usual two-pint bottles of milk, and
10 and behold. there was only one!'' milk
man got caught without water too SO he
couldn't deliver but half the milk said
the other - "See?' -
BY the way, can any one of the 100000
daily readers of The Star assert with
truth that he has detected a better quail
ity of milk or cream for November over
October, 1907? The new law was to bring
better quality of milk and cream-the
only consolation for the price-raise-and
the producers and dealers said the new
ia"' VIZ o'iioi thiiiSS, "aS Inc cause III
the raise in prices. The raise in price
came but l have been unable to detect
any better milk or cream.
Prices everywhere are looping off and
milk prices should not have been raised
anyhow. Washington people are as pa
tient as mule-a democratic mule, and
as long suffering-but not near so good
a kicker. They got a six-cent raise in
cream (creamD Baltimore kicked on her
proposed milk price raise, and checked it
at cents. Philadelphia did better than
that. But we got a six-cent raise. Does a
Washington COW charge 2 cents more for
a pint of cream than Baltimore COW
does hers? II SO, on what basis?''
