Report of Railway Board.

The state railway commission has
made its annual report to the governor
for the year ending June 80 last. The
report does not contain any recon-
mendations, but is simply resume of
the commissions work. The failure
of the new stock and bonds statute to
accomplish the purposes of which it
was passed and the effect of other
laws passed by the legislature for the
regulation of public service corpora
lions were not to be discussed to any
considerable extent because they had
not gone into effect by June 30.

Modern Man Too Busy.


1t is not uncommon for the wives
of business men to spend summer in
Europe and winter in the south, and
many times they find in these places
the romantic companionship and at
tention their own husbands had not
time to give them at home.
Like birds in a gilded cage" they
were treated, their husbands sending
them packages of lace and bundles Of
silks, and bringing them home hand
fuls of jewels, but if they ever sus-
pected their wives need of romance
and tenderness they were unable to
supply it, because of the demands on
their time by their many business in
tereSts.
Or is it that the modern inventions
for picking, preserving, dyeing and
cleaning have left the twentieth cen
fury woman with vast leisure" on
her hands, and has her lack of dOmes-
tic occupations and cares made her
dissatisfied and hypercritical of her
busy and worried husband?
And does she brood over his "cold-
ness" all day because in his haste to
keep some business engagement he
hurries forth without the morning
kiss?

The Reason Why.

The reason why you don't want to

it induces a rank, coarse growth of

animal manure and especially If it is
