is situated in the northern IrahsNaIi'
in the wild tang!c of mountains winch
extend east from Petersburg toward
the Portuguese frontier. and which IN
their various ranges are known as the
Ioutpamsbefg. The Snelonken and the

AS THE BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict of Au-
thorty Was Vital.

In one of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close Of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful In the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though
slight departure from the original, for
in a voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modification:
"Ye cannot serve God and mammal"

Orders Stock Rates Reduced.

The Wisconsin railroad commission
issued an order requiring four of the
leading railroads of the state to reduce
their rates on livestock from the prin-
cipal stock shipping points of the state
to Milwaukee, and Cudahy from to
% per cent The order was issued on
petition of former Secretary of State
w. l.. Houser, Of MOndovi, and will
take effect in 20 days unless the rail
roads appeal to the courts. The rail
road companies affected are the Chi
cage, Milwaukee & st. Paul, Chicago
& Northwestern Wisconsin Central
and Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha. The largest reductions are at
points in the central and western parts
of the state where the cuts approx.
mate % per cent. in many cases. The
smallest reductions are in the eastern
part Of the state along the lake shore
region to the north Of Milwaukee. It
is expected that the reductions in
rates will greatly stimulate the Nil.
waukee live stock market and enable
it to compete with the Chicago mar.
ket, The reductions affect the trans
portation of cattle, calves, hogs, sheep,
horses, mules and goats No specific
rates are given for horses and mules.
