NO USE FOR A SHIRT.

A story $ told of brownie who assisted the people of Dolphiston, in Roxburgshire, in threshing their corn. The farmer left an article of dress for him, which so offended him that he immediately quilted the place, saying:
 Sin ye've glen me harden ramp,
 Ma mair O your corn will I tramp.
 One of the principal characters- ties of the brownie was his anxiety regarding the moral conduct of the household to which he was attached. He was a spirit very much inclined to prick up his ears at the first ap- pearance of any impropriety in the ranks of his fellow servants. The least delinquency he was sure to re- port to his master, from whom nc bribe could induce him to conceal the offense which fell under his no- tice.-T. P.'s Weekly, London.

LAW IS EFFECTIVE.

Fort Smith, Oct. 12.-Superintend- ent J. w. kuykendall is we'll pleased with the working of the new compul- sorry education law. In his estimation the law has increased the attendance of the public schools at least 200. The increase is marked in the lower grades, which caused the superintendent to think that the law is effective. The truancy officer is getting to loaf on his
 job and there is a great decrease in the number of children seen loafing on the streets. According to reports re- ceived from factories, where small
 boys have been employed, this kind of help is not to be found at the present time. Even the ice man has to work,
 as he is unable to secure small negro boys as assistants on the delivery
 wagon About the only place to find
 boys and girls under the age of IA years, between the hours of a. m.
 and p. m., is in the school room.

MADE THE GIRL SUSPICIOUS
Young Man from the Country Was Just a Little Bit Too Effusively
 Complimentary.

The young man from the country sat looking amazedly about him al the splendid coiffures of the women and girls about the room.
 Marvellous" he said softly to the girl next to him. '<I never saw any thing like it. Your hair now. Won derful, Wonderful. The girls in the country don't grow such hair as that. l wonder why?"
 She put her hand quickly up to her hair, then rose suddenly. "Par- don me a minute,' she implored, and crossing the room she stood by girl friend in the light of single candle
 S'Take look at my pompadour,' she whispered, ''and see if the pad ding shows"
 "No," said her friend when she had looked. Why"
 Nothing" said the girl, "only that young man from the country was so fawningly complimentary of my abundance of locks it made me suspicious"

SEEMED A JOKE TO SIAMESE
American Wanderers Wanted Sugar with hice.

Harry A. Frank, in Harpers Weekly, gives an amusing account of his tramp through the Siamese iungles. The English authoritie- refused to let him leave Rangoon and deputed a half-caste to accom- pany him and see that he remained within the town limits. But Frank and his companion made the half caste drunk, eluded him and plunged into the jungle. At one village they excited the wonder of the natives by demanding sugar upon their rice. The head man mis- understood.
 When he understood that sugar was needed he called a woman, who brought some in a joint of bamboo At the first mouthful," says the author. ''such a roar of laughter went up from the assembly that l choked in my astonishment The chieftain fell to shaking as with a fit. his advisers doubled up with mirth and aroused the whole com munity with their shrieks. Wild eyed Siamese tumbled out of the neighboring huts. Within two min utes half the village had Hocked into the room and the other half was bowling for admittance and a glimpse of those strange beings who ate their rice with sugar.

LACE JEW ELRY.

Women who love lace and lace ef- fleets must be enamored of the lace jewclry made by French experts. II seems almost unbelievable that hu- man fingers could weave the fairy like collars these jewellers show With the finest threads of platinum they do what lacemakers do with thread. These collars, delicately be- jcweled with pearls or rubies or dia- monds or sapphircs, are enough tC charm the money out of any wo. mans purse.

THE EARTH SHINES.

That the earth must shine on the moon even as the moon shines on the earth is obvious. To detect this light from the earth on the lunar surface and scientifically prove its existence is another matter. It is interesting to find that recent number Of French astronomical paper contains two photographs of parts of the moon Illuminated by earth light. They were taken by NJ. Quenisset at the Juvisy observa- tory.

intervenors, who could without a play
upon words be classed as veterans in
rate case hearings, as they had In
times past sat in counsel or opposed
in court cases of this sort.
The entire force of the defendants
and intervenors, including the exam
liner before whom the hearing was
had, had just closed a rate case at
Phoenix, where four days had been
spent in taking oral testimony of in
terested shippers.
The taking of testimony began
Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock
and at O'Clock in the afternoon the
entire testimony of the compliments
was in. and the defendants began
submitting their testimony.
The complainants swore six wit
nesses who without confusion related
connected story from the building
of the railroad, its tariff system of
rates, origin and distribution of its
traffic, cost of its operation, it's earn
ings, its profits and its disbursements
OF proceeds and steamship tonnage.
The situation in Nevada was revealed
as clear as the MONDAY sun when the
compliments closed their case. The
veteran lawyers for the de-
Tense made no effort at cross-exam-
ination of most of the witnesses.
Instead they could not refrain from
expressions of commentator at the
completeness of the evidence, its or
der of presentation and the celebrity
of Introduction. This expression of
praise extended to the examiner and
his official staff who placed this case
without an equal in the scope and
clearness of the evidence and the or
der of it's arrangement and presenta-
ton.
The defendants closed their side
of the controversy at noon on the
following day. The strongest points
they aimed to emphasize we're de-
fensive in contemplation of suits for
reduction in east bound rates from
California into Nevada by showing
of the excessive cost of operation over
the Sierras. point strongly empha-
sized by the complainants by witness
and exhibit which was thus corro-
borated with exceeding satisfaction
to them.
The opinion expressed by the de-
PENDANT forces leads to the conelus-
sion that the principle applied by the
interstate commerce commission in
the Spokane case will be extended to
a larger area and include a greater
number of articles. No doubt OBJ
truded itself in the minds of any
that an order of wholesale relief will
be extended in the case which means
that the stream Of commerce will be
turned inward instead of outward.
The natural commercial centers of
the state will respond with vigor In
the fullness of unrestrained CONNER
cial freedom.
