Two-C Cent Law Defeated.

The two.cent passenger rate
law and the maximum freight
rate laws, enacted two years ago
by the Missouri legislature were
declared void Monday morning by
Judge Smith Mcpherson in the
federal court at Kansas City.
The injunction obtained by the
railroads was made permanent.
The Judge held that the railroads
i'm Missouri could not earn 6 per
cent on their investment under
the new rates and that for this
reason the laws were conrisca-
tory.
The maximum freight rate
laws have not been enforced be-
cause temporary injunctlons
were granted by the federal
court when they became effective
AS to the freight rate laws the
situation will be the same in the
future as in the past. The two
cent passenger rate law has
been in force by agreement.
Prospects that the Scent
rate will go into effect within
two weeks, but there is some
talk OF the rate remaining at
two cents on some OF the main
lines.

ing. After awhile the fair young
bride leaned back in her chairland
fell asleep. He" companion took
advantages OF the hull i'm affection
al demonstration, and went into
the smoker to enjoy a cigar.
While he was gone, a long, lean,
lank, grizzly specimen OF human
ity came in and sat down in the
vacant chair beside the sleeping
beauty. Presently, the young
woman, half asleep, turned and
laid her head lovingly on the
shoulder OF the stranger and put
her plump arm around his neck,
The green, gawky, stranger seem
ed a trifle surprised at TIE un-
expected familiarity, but made no
desperate effort to escape. He
merely looked around at the CON
vulsed passengers and grinned.
Then the hiiarity awoke the
young woman aRd, opening her
large, blue eyes, she saw her mis-
take. With flushed cheek she
stammered an apology. You
needn't apologize to me-" drawl-

For Large Public
School Students

Money paid for education is
the best investment; time thus
spent is wisely used time is mon
ey and opportunity as well, if it
is used Alright. Business men
work during the summer, farmers
do the same, then what is the
sense in big boys and girls spen-
ing vacations in idleness in vast
ing precious weeks OF the few
years of preparation for life? Most
ambitious boys and girls would
rather spend vacation in learning
something that will fit them to
earn a fine salary than in loafing.
Many spend their vacations with Us
and find our summer work the
most instructive, practical and
useful they have ever had. One
vacation spent with US will pre-
pare any young psrsoa OF aver
age ability to earn a liviny o:
more. He who cares more for sue
cess than heat goes far ahead Of
rim who waits till cool weather to
to study. Moreover, our system
can be mastered during vacation,

The manager of the employment.

search of maids ask applicants all
sorts Of queer questions, says the New

him mildly curious. Of IA girls in
turn she had inquired: Have you
worked in minister's family?" None
of them had. TOO bad" said the ma
iron to the manager. None of these
girls will do"
May l ask said the manager,
why you are anxious to know if
these girls have worked in ministers
families?"
why, the fact is, we're very hard
up just now" said the matron, candid
ly; Il want a girl who knows how to
economic, and those who have worked
in clergymen's families, I've discov-

SECESSION IN 1929
Unique Civic Drama Not Gener-
ally Known.
How People of Indian Stream Terri
tory, Now Pittsburg, N. H., De-
cIared Their independence Of
u. S. and Britain.

BoSton.-Between the years 1929
and 1885, in the region which is now
Pittsburg. N. H., there was played in
several acts most unique civic and
political drama, which has not been
recorded in the general histories.
Indian Stream territory, then so
called, was situated on a broad pla-
teau, where stand the markers that
show the dividing line between the
United States and Canada
Previous to 1887 it had not been
known to white men. 1t was the home
