obviously the business was a bad

the other was determined that, WHAT

How do you get at that?"
I'VE might deduce il from the mere
character of the one hand as com
pared with the other. But we have
more assured reasons than hat for
supposing it. If you examine this
scrap with attention you will come
to the conclusion hat the man with
the stronger hand wrote all his words
first, leaving blanks for the other to
fill up. These blanks were not always
sufficient. and you car see that the sec
ond man had to squeeze to fit his quar-
ter in between the at and the to-
showing that the latter was already
written. The man who wrote. all his
words first is undoubtedly the man who
planned the affair.""

init that she likes him, but becomes
angry when /. remind her of her pre-
vious attitude. What am / to think
OF. her eonstancy? DO you think she

always been the best of friends.
ANXIOUS
1t seems to me that the young lady
is like the majority of her sex, rather
fond of keeping her masculine friends
uncertain as to what she really thinks.
Let me advise you not to worry. Prob
ably she is only nice to the other man
because of a desire to tease you. 1t is
a mistake to make mountains out of
mole hills. If she cared for the other
man she would not mind your remarks
concerning her liking for his company.
However. you will be wise to respect
her wishes.

COMMISSION.

The petition of the Georgia railroad
fer authority to increase its fat pas
senger rate from 2 IA to ~ cents
a mile was heard before the railroad
commission Wednesday morning.
In the course Of the hearing Com
missioner Galloway developed the fol-
lowing facts which were the mosl
striking features Of the situation:
First. That fer the year ending June
80. 1908, the passenger revenue Of the
Georgia road was $4,000 larger than
for the year ending June 20. 1907, al
though according to a previous ad
mission Of General Manager r. X.
Scott this latter year was the largest
IN the roads history. During ten
months Of The year ending June 30
1908 furthermore. the IA cent rate
had obtained against cent rate
for the preceding year
Second. That while the Georgia
roads revenue had shown a decrease
during the panic last autumn. its total
net operating revenue for the past
six months has increased $7,848.38
over the same six months for 1907.
though 1907 as previously stated, was
the largest year in the roads history.
These figures were all taken from
the latest official returns of the road
to the commissions Office.
At the hearing Wednesday the Geor
gia road was represented by General
Manager Scott and General Freight
and Passenger Agent H. f. Jackson.
10 complainants against the roads pe-
tition were present.
Mr. Scott expressed his readiness 10
answer any questions the commission
might ask. He rested the roads case
on a petition previously filed.
