Mr.. Powers says the principal bat
tie will be over the reciprocal &C.
murrage. This was introduced at the
measure. This was Introduced at the
request of the lumber men Of the
state and requires that railroads shall
pay to shippers 81 for every a hours
hat they fail TO supply car which
has been called for by the shipper,
and that they shall move dead or
unperishable IN light 60 miles per day
Oh an average. The bin originally
fixed this at rs miles per day, but
liz was reduced to 60.
The committee which has charge
OF the bill. of which Mr.. Powers Is a
member. has heard arguments from
various interests concerned. the rail.
roads making a very vigorous night 10
prevent the passage OF the measure,
the lumbermen and shippers gener-
ally contending as strongly for IT'S
passage. The latter feel that, since
they are made TO pay 81 per day for
holding loaded cars the railroads
should stand a penalty for failing 10
supply them with empties when these
are demanded and should be re-
duired to move the freight given 70
them. within reasonable time and a
reasonable distance per day They
admit that justice demands that they
pay for holding loaded cars beyond a
given time; but as matters now stand
the penalties are all on the shipper
and he has no recourse whatever
against the railroad company for in
Jury done to him in failure to supply
him with cars or failure TO deliver
freight consigned 10 him or by him to
others. Cairo shippers pay many
hundreds of dolla.s per month in de
murrage. Several firms pay from
800 to $3.50 each per month. Various
causes prevent lumber men. for in
stance. from loading or unloading
cars. one is the weather which pre-
vents the handling of humber when il
rains. also the impossibility OF pro
curing labor on short notice. These
firms would pay this heavy tax more
cheerfully II they had some way Of
enforcing better service from the rail
road companies. in the way of sup
plying them with empt!es wher
wanted and in the delivery of freight
| Mr.. Powers would not venture e
say what the result Of the eoltes'
over this measure would be.

Story of a Clever Jackdaw.

In a small cottage in Herefordshire
there lived family who owned a very
large but clever jackdaw which was
noted for its very witty sayings. One
day the jackdaw saw the lid of the
stewpot partly off, so thinking he
should like meat dinner he went out
and caught frog and put it in the
boiling water in the stewpot, which
had in some pieces of beef. After this
the jackdaw went quietly back to his
perch and waited till dinner time. All
went we'll till the cook began to share
the dinner out before the family.
Every time she pulled a piece of
meat out of the pot the jackdaw said,
That's not mine; that's not mine," till
at last the cook pulled out the frog,
when he exclaimed in a very triumph
ant voice, That's mine; Mats mine"
The shock nearly made the guests faint
away, but nevertheless the jackdaw
got his meat dinner, while the others
did without for change.-London An
