boasted when 1 commented on his
judgment a little later. He had been
with this barracks for over three years
and had passed judgment on at least
a score Of charity seekers every night
during that period
At o'clock a bell sharply tangled
its summons. One of the army cap
tains made his appearance TO guide
the men to the assembly room, two
floors below With much low grum-
footed and hesitant, the men stopped
their games and discussions 10 file in
a long line down the stairs, led by a
captain in uniform, the rear being
brought up by a sergeant. Just ahead
of me in the line the cripple inched
along on his hands with queer little
jumps, saying caustic things about re-
lfgion. He looked up at me with a
strange smile, that was hardly a smile
so distorted was it, and asked me IN
a low voice If 1 wanted to get out of
going TO the exercises.

pal?" he queried. Well, just keep

song the impressed army was voicinE.

INSINCERITY OF CLAIM ABOUT
GENERAL and CONSTANT REDUCTIONS

New York City-An inquiry into
the history of changes in railroad
rates in recent years has disclosed the
fact that accuracy is disregarded by
those railway men who are telling of
general and constant reductions. The
truth is that in hundreds of cases
rates are much higher than they were
few years ago.
There have been instances of re.
auctions, of course, and the railway
men have put these forward with
painful care, emitting to mention the
increases.
The Manufacturers Association, in
its recently published correspondence
with Vice-Presidenc Brown, of tbs
New York Central Railroad, showed e
suspicion of the truth by saying:
We feel that the claim of the rail
roads, viz. that rates have been con.
stantly reduced. is insincere.
II is fact that since the Hepburn
rate law was passed. only two years
ago, making it necessary for the rail
roads to be most careful in publishing
changes in freight rates, hundreds Of
cases of increases may be found IL
the records. The transportation
charges on such commodities as gro.
ceries, canned goods, drugs, lumber
and building materials, condensed
milk, machinery, -four, coffee, sugar
and practically all other commoditie.
are TO be increased in the near future
