copy of II of tue e~ngravings from his
famous "Liber Studiorum." The print
was In a very dirty, ragged state. En-
tering the shop. Turner asked to see
the master and when the mar came
forward proceeded at once to blame
him in no measured terms for having
neglected 70 valuable a print and for
having allowed 1t to become so dis
figured. The man protested that 1t
was no fault Of his. as he did but offer
the engraving for sale in the same
state in which he had bought it from
some other dealer.
This did not satisfy Turner. how.
ever, and he and the man continued
arguing for some time.
At last the print seller lost all pa,
thence.
perhaps, SIR" he said, when you
have quite finished what you have to
say you will kindly tell me what yoC
have to do with this engraving and
what business Is 1t Of yours whether
the print Is clean or dirty"
This is what l have to do with It,
answered the enraged artist-"it was
who drew the original Of that print
My name Is Turner. and l did every
line Of that engraving with my own
hand. Now do you wonder that | am
angry at seeing my work In SO dis
graceful u statey"
"lndced. sir" replied the print sell.
or. $50 you are the great artist him
self. All my life long 1t has been my
wish that l might some day have the
good fortune to see Mr.. Turner. Now
that l have e him | sincerely hope
that l may never G him again"

KIDNAPPED BOY
REGAINS LIBERTY

Chicago, July 3.-Bayard Ashton, 13
years old, who disappeared last Thurs
day from the residence of his aunt,
Mrs. Smith, was kidnapped by gypsies
according to his own story.
The story told by the little boy, who

Martin, is straightforward and the po-
lice will make an investigation and
IL possible arrest the k~idnapers.
The boy said he vas OF his way
home from school last Thursday when
he was hailed by two men driving by
in a wagon. They asked him if he
wanted to ride. He climbed into the
wagon, and then, he asserts, one of
the men threw a blanket over him, and
after binding him hand and foot threw
him under the seat and drove a long
way with him, but in what direction
he could not tell.
After we had been travelling what
seemed to me two or three hours" the
boy continued, they took me to a
lonely spot where there were five tents
in which lived IA men and about as
many women and two little girls.
They made me carry wood and wa
ter and there was someone watching
me all the time so j could not run
away.
Most of the men were asleep yester-
day and / managed to get away from
them"

RESTORE OLD RATES
ON SMALL FREIGHT

Chicago, July 3.--It is announced mere
that the railroads of the middle west
have decided to restore the old rates on
package freight, putting into force
again the former minimum charges Tor
shipments of his character. The move
ment means a saving of thousands Or
dollars annually to the shippers of this
section.
The old minimum of % cents was
in force from Chicago to the Missis-
sippi river and st. Paul. West of there
as far as central Kansas h charge
was SO cents and from that section to
the coast the minimum was 20 cents.
The change made "a year ago when
these were abolished and the first class
rates were substituted brought in
creases of from so to 800 per cent. The
increase for instance, to Oklahoma
points was from IS cents to $3.50 and
to common Colorado points 1t was $3.50.
The roads found, however, that the
disparity in rates caused by the various
minimums, established by the state
commissions give some cities advan-
lagos over neighboring distributing GEN.
tiers. Milwaukee could ship to all Wis
whereas, it cost Chicago considerably
more. Similarly Omaha had a better
opening to many markets of the middle
west than other towns in the same ter
ritory.
In addition, according to some of the
transportation experts the new rate
drove a considerable amount of bust
ness to the express companies who were
not affected by the decision to raise the
charges. The old rates are to be re-
stored within a few weeks.
