Decision Supports state Commission
Throughout NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
In Less Than Carload Lots viii

Washington, Aug. 12.-In a decision
announced by the Interstate commerce
commission in the case of the Bartles
OIL company against the Milwaukee,
the North-Ws stern and the Minneapo.
lis & st. Louis roads, 1t is ordered
that the fourth-class rate shall apply
on oil and gasolene In less than car.

points in South Dakota. In making
this order the federal commission has
adopted the rulings of the state com.
missions Of Minnesota, Iowa. North

sin.
The Bartles OIL company with head
quarters in Minneapolis, receives the
Illuminating oil and gasolene from the
Pennsylvania fields In carload lots and
distributes in less than carloads to
South Dakota points, and on these
smaller shipments have been charged
third-class rates, in accordance with
western classification.
The oil company attacked this rate
on the ground that 1t was unreason-
able. The complainant pointed out
that the state commissions mentioned
had ordered the fourth-class rate put
into effect In such shipments.
In deciding the case, the interstate
commerce commission says:
I'VE have said not infrequently that
this commission is not controlled by
of hliohaA INV at IN TO-
sions unless they seem to use reason
able rates when applied to interstate
movements.
Rate So Upheld.
I'm several instances when dealing
with rates for interstate transporta-

but in view of the intensive applica-

ments between points in the state In
question, we are forced to the con-
clusion that fourth class rates must
be compensatory and fairly represen-
tative between the points In question"
The Minneapolis & st. Louis and
the Northwestern have established
the fourth-class rate since the case
was filed and the order entered affect

upon the table glistening skulls to the

ed to indicate to the members Of the
court the course of the bullet in the
skull Of Lieutenant Sutton.
Lieutenant Adams had given dra-
matte illustration of the position Of
Lieutenant Sutton when the fatal shot
was fired. The doctor was equally
dramatic as he stretched himself upon
the table and showed by pantomime
how, in his opinion as an expert, it
was impossible that Lieutenant Sutton

life.

A CoNFIDlNG CONSTABLE.
The Way He Helped the Housema'd
Rebel the Burglars.


A good story is told at the expense
Of a constable in rural England. says
writer in the London Telegraph.
Not long ago a young and pretty
housemaid arrived at the big house OF
the neighborhood, and it was observed
that our friends beat often took him
In that direction. At first she seemed
to resent his advances, but suddenly
she changed altogether, and the course
Of true love appeared to run smooth
for a time.
One night he called rather later than
usual. It was dark, and his fair one
greeted him somewhat coolly, he
thought.
His doubts, however, disappeared
when she suddenly declared that she
would take him into her confidence
She had overheard the particulars Of
a plot to break into the house and
steal the plate.
'Now, Jim,' she said, there's a
chance for promotion. The burglars
knew where the plate was kept, so
we've shifted it. What l want you to
do is to get into the plate cupboard
and wait till they come and open the
door. Then you'll have 'em."
Jim jumped at the chance and half
an hour later was concealed in the
cupboard. The burglars came, as ex-
pected. and promptly got to work.
The constable chuckled to himself as
he heard the mudled Whir Of tool on
the outside of the cupboard door, and
he grasped his staff and waited.
After some minutes waiting be re-
solved to take cautious peep. But
the door was fast, securely screwed on
the outside by the burglars.
When Jim eventually reused the
house and was released from his pris-
on the burglars and plate, together
with the pretty housemaid "a confeder-
ate), had disappeared. Moreover, the
constable's position took good deal
Of explaining away.

usually
Goad the Game Into Combat.
There is distinction in Africa be-
tween ordisary lions and "man eat
ers," says T. R. MacMechen in Nc
Clure's Magazine. The ordinary hon
does not villfully attack man. The
presence of lions roaming at night on
the veldt is not disturbing to any ma
tive nor to whites who have come to
understand the beast. Persons return
ing to their camps after nlgntfal! 90
not notice the roaring of lions or the
cries of leopards or hyenas.
It Is seldom that people bent upon
domestic errands carry weapons in the
darkness, although at night the veldt
Of British East Africa is alive with
roaming beasts, which may be heard
from the verandas Of the houses.
Lions give the passing man a wide
berth, day or night, when it is appar-
emf that he means no mischief. An
ordinary lion, even when wounded.
will try fight before fight. When its
escape is disputed it will, especially If
wounded, try to maui it's enemy with
teeth and claws.
A lion hunt is usually a chase in
which the hunters goad the game into
combat. Once lion has tasted human
blood, however, it is no more afraid OF
man. but learns that he is the weak
est &C animals and the choicest OF
meat. Such lion is known as man
eater because now be hunts man.

Awkward. but No Chump.

Once there was a pretty woman who
came upon a huge ostrich in the des-

Foolish bird" said the pretty wo-
man. "You cover your head with sand

The huge ostrich laughed.
"A1y dear madam" he chuckled,
'there is nothing foolish about that
Don't you cover your head with a hat
decorated with my feathers and think
you are out of sight?'"
Moral.-The ostrich is an awkward
bird and eats horseshoes, but he can

The Manner In Which 1t Appeals to

To those musical agnostics who deny

fern Mason makes appropriate reply.
But there is another side to the pic
sure What was it that made George

the "Hallelujah" chorus. thereby set
ting an example which is followed to
this day? What was it in the finale
Of the fifth symphony that drew the
Napoleonic veteran to his feet with the
exclamation, 1.-The EMPEROR" What
sanctity in the Ambrosian hymns

During the wars Of the French rev
olution it was forbidden. on pain OF
death, to play the ''Ranz des Naches

for so acute a longing for home did it
bring upon them that they deserted ID

was no virtue in the music itself and
that the effect produced was the out
come of purely accidental circum-
stances?
The Austrian government forbade
Berlioz to play the "Rackoczy" march
