herd. Song of the Syrian Shepherd.
THY rod and thy STAIR ARE not
synonymous, for even the shepherd of
to-day, though often armed with gun,
carries two instruments of wood. his
great oak club, thick enough to brain
a wild beast, and his staff to lean upon
or to touch his sheep with, while the
ancient shepherd without firearms
would surely still more require both"
George Adam Smith.
The staff is the common shepherds
crook, by which he can draw wan
dering sheep toward him or pull him
out of some crevice or away from
some poisonous herb.
They comfort me-" 1--WE must not
miss the force of the good old word
comfort (con together; FORTS,
strong). 1t means far more than sim
ply to console. 1t signifies TO tone up
the whole nature, to strengthen a man
so that all his energies can be brought
to bear. m. r. Vincent.
Goodness and mercy" (the quail
ties of Cod shall follow me-" pursue
me, hunt me.
One need not seek anxiously for
them as an Elusive blessing, as the
child seeks in vain for the rainbow;
but they will pursue him and over
take him, il only he is a true sheep
of the Good Shepherd. God loves to
give good things to his people.
81 will dwell in the house of the
Lord for ever" In his house, and UNI
der the heavenly influences of his
house, wherever he may be. On earth
and in heaven he will serve him day
and night in his temple. A member
of Gods family here will be member
there where they shall hunger no
more, neither thirst any more; neither
shall the sun strike upon them, nor
any heat; for the Lamb which is in
the midst of the throne shall be their
shepherd. and shall guide them unto
fountains of waters of life; and God
shall wipe away every tear from their
eyes" (Rev. 7:16, I'D

pared to supply, at cost, tuberculin to
stop tuberculosis in cattle.

INJUNCTION ISSUED
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION ENJOINED IN MISSOURI
RIVER RATE CASE.
INTERSTATE COMMISSION IS SURPRISED
Case Originated in Kansas City And
Involves Freight Rates From At
lantic Seaboard to Missouri River
Commission Will EndeaVor to DEM
onstrate that 1t is Fair to Railroads.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Considerable
surprise was expressed by officials of
the Interstate Commerce commission
Friday on receipt of the information
that the United States circuit court at
Chicago had granted q temporary in
junction in what is known as the Mis-
souri, rate case. The complaint from
which the order of the commission
originated, developed into one of the
most important cases with which the
commission has had to deal within the
past year. 1t was brought by the
Burnham, Hanna, Munger Drygoods
company, and many similar concerns
in Kansas City, against the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific Railway com
pany. and practically all of the rail-
ways doing business between Atlantic
seaboard points and Kansas City. In
effect, the complaint was that the rates
on class commodities between Atlantic
seaboard points and Kansas City were
too high and that they Disseminated
against Kansas City as compared with
many other points in the west ana
northwest.
1t was developed by the commissions
inquiry that no through rates existed
between Atlantic seaboard points and
Kansas City on class commodities, but
that the rates paid by Kansas City
merchants were the through rates from
Atlantic points to Mississippi river
crossings. plus the sum of the local
rates from Mississippi river crossings
to Kansas City and nearby points.
The order of the commission in the
case was that the rates on first class
freight from Mississippi river cross
ings to Kansas City points should be
reduced nine cents per 100 pounds,
thus making that rate 81 cents instead
of 60 cents per 100 pounds. Proper
tional reductions also were made on
second, third, fourth and fifth classes
of freight between the same points.
This order the commission considered
to be entirely just to the transporta-
ton lines, inasmuch as the rates on
the same classes of freight shipped
from Atlantic seaboard points through
Mississippi river crossings to Mime
apolis and other northwestern points
were even lower than those fixed by
the commission to Kansas City points
In the final adjudication of the case
the commission will endeavor to dem
onstrate that its position as stated in
itsforder was entirely fair and just to
the railways.
