Shipper Claims He was Undercharged
 on Freight Bill.

Washington, October N-A urious complaint was filed today with the in- terstate commerce commission. It is that of a shipper who alleges that he was undercharged for a shipment of freignt by railroads.
 It appears from the complaint that Wii- liam D Scott of Beaumont Tex, shipped a large amount of coal from New Or leans to Itebert's Switch, Tex. over the Texas and New Orleans railroad and the Morgan's Louisiana and Texas rail- road The complainant paid the freight Subsequently it was discovered fby the carriers that the amount paid was less than the published tariff. They sued him for the difference $25. and obtained a judgment against him, which he paid. Now he comes to the commission and asks that he be given relief in the sum of s25. inasmuch as the original rate was quoted to him by a responsible oHicial of the railroad company.

Even when work is scarce you will

It's easy to impose upon a man who
has good disposition.
The girl who has a young widow for
a rival is badly handicapped.
It's easy to look on the bright side

Men have their troubles the same as

them.
It's as difficult for some women to

Don't have such a lofty opinion of

Occasionally a woman cultivates the
acquaintance of her next door neigh

If riches have wings, a man may be
able to chase the mighty dollar more

After a man has proved in seventeen
