pAUROADS HAVE FILED
AMENDED COMMODITY
TARIFFS.
Now Rates to Become Effective
Iune 5, Show Average Reduc-
t;on of 10 Cents Per Hundred
IN All Commodity Tariffs From
Atlantic to Pacific.

Washington, April 27.-An import
ant series of rates was filed yesterday
nth the interstate commerce commits
sion, affecting westbound traffic to Pa
o;fc Coast terminals. The rates, which
oro 70 become effective June 5, make
on average reduction of 10 cents per
hundred pounds on all commodity tar
Ifs from the Atlantic seaboard to the
pacific coast. On January 1 the trans
continental railroads put into effect
rates to the Pacific to which the West
prn shippers strenuously objected. 1t
was evident that complaints were to be
made to the interstate commerce com
mission unless some equitable adjust
ment of the question could be reached.
Conferees were held in February. at
Chicago, between representatives of the
sbippers and railroads, at which a ten
tatiye agreement was reached. The
result of that agreement is embodied in
the tariffs just filed. No reduction has
been made in the eastbound traffic from
the Pacific coast, but it is expected that
tariffs O to be filed will make a cor
responding reduction On such traffic.

DDLE AGE.

When youths desire Of pleasure cloye
And life has reached a wiser stage
lis sweet to count the placid Joys
OF middle age.
No more the love Of frenzied sport.
No more the things to do and dare:
With mild philosophy I court
My easy chair.
There with my soothing pipe I sit
And watch its graceful rings arise.
Feeling my vision and my wit
Grow ripe and wise.
No more I join the weary wights
Who dangle in a maiden's trail.
Giving their daytimes and their nights
To woeful wall.
l seek no mad emprise to jog
And goad me in a perilous way
But mediate that every dog
Must have his day.
! note the price of stock and share
With cautious, speculative ends,
And to the credit side I bear
Life's dividends.
Perchance to goling fields I fare,
To enterprise with putt and tees
And scorn the caddie's furtive stare
At what he sees.
I never ask of life too much;
And she rewards with ample wage :.
OF peaceful joys that are in touch
With middle age.
