Out of the Air.

Recently a parachutist gave several
exhibitions of his daring and skill at
Glasgow. One afternoon a strong wind
carried his balloon rapidly away, and
it was some time before he could make
a descent. He touched mother earth
at a moorland spot near farm house,
and an old man stood close by staring
in blank amazement. He had seen
the gaudily-dressed being drop down
from the clouds.
What place is this?" asked the
parachutist in an authoritative tone.
The old man reverently knelt down
and clasped his hands together, and
his voice trembled with fervent emo
ton as he answered:
Good Lord, this is the parish o.
Cornwath. "-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

Charge Rate EavoritIsm.

Washington, April 15.-lnterstate
Commerce Commission handed down
a decision today in the case Of the
Lincoln Commercial Club against the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and
other railway companies. The COM
plant alleges that the defendants ex-
act unreasonably higher rates for
transportation of coal, lumber, sugar,
etc, to Lincoln than to Omaha from
the same points of origin in Kansas
and territories for substantially the
same distances.
The commission held that II Is ap-
parent that the cost of handling traf-
fic from Omaha and Lincoln is prac-
tically the same and the difference
in rate does not justify maintenance
of higher rate from Lincoln than
Omaha. justification for these higher
rates must be found. If at all. in
commercial competitive conditions
rather than in added cost of service.
