She cannot make biscuit,
He cannot make a cent
She knows no thing OF broilng.
He is not built for toiling,
Yet still they think they'll risk IL
Though he can't pay the rent
She cannot make a biscuit,
He cannot make a cent.
She rises late OF mornings.
He stays out late of nights,
She plays quite well at eucher,
He has no heap of lucre.
And yet in spite OF warnings
Their troth they want to plight;
She rises late of mornings,
He stays out late at night
She cannot fry potatoes,
He cannot drive a nail,
She never had a worry,
He never had to hurry,
She cannot slice tomatoes,
At beating rugs he'd fail;
She cannot fry potatoes,
He cannot drive nall
She is no good at busting.
He cannot mend a chair,
Nor can he build a fire.
Yet she is his desire
And with affection trusting
She knows they'll have no care
She is no good at busting,
He cannot mend a chair.
They'll blame II all on Cupid
When life is going wrong,
And each will scod the other
And shell go home TO mother
And say that he is stupid
While he'll use phrases strong,
They'll blame it all on Cupid
Wnen life is going wrong.

HOSTILE REPORT

Appendage

Washington, March 3.-Declaring
that the administration railroad bill
would impair the efficiency of existing
statues and that the creation of a
court of commerce, which the meas
ure involves, would mean an expen-
diture wholly unnecessary" Senators
Cummins and Clapp today submitted
the minority report of the senate in
terstate commerce committee. The
report holds that the creation of a
court, the sole work Of which would
be to try railroad cases. would be
fundamentally wrong, and it reminds
the senate of "the tremendous In
fluences which will inevitably sur
round the selection of such a tri-
bunal." In the last three and half
years, the minority report asserts.
there have been just twenty-six cases
in which such court would have had

the cost of rural free delivery. Sta
tistics show that As per cent of the
pieces of mail handled in this SER
vice consists of second class matter.
Were it not for the rural free delivery
service, the circulation Of the mag
azines would be materially reduced" !"
Annual Loss Of $4,000, 900.
In response to the publishers as
sertion that with a proper allowance
for the rural delivery service there is
a surplus Of more than $10,000,00O
in all the operations of the postoffice'
Mr.. Hitchcock declares that with
equal force it might be said, with
proper allowance for second class
mail, there is surplus of more than
$46,O0O,000 in all the operations of
the postal SERVICE Even If there
were no deficit, the fact that the de-
partment is conducting one branch of
its business at loss of $64,0O0,OO
annually would demand attention"
There are $4,000 publications in the
country enjoying the second class
privilege, large proportion of which
are magazines.
In conclusion, Mr.. Hitchcock says,
If this tremendous loss could be saw
ed, the money could be applied in 9TH
er ways to much greater advantage
to the public generally.

TO PUBLISHERS
POSTMASTER GENERAL DISCUSSES
THE COST OF CARRYING
MAGAZINES.

Washington. March 3.-"Erroneous
or misleading" is the characterization
by the postoffice department of a
statement recently published by the
Periodical Publishers association, en-
titled, IAN Argument on Second-class
Postal Rates From the Business
Standpoint Alone" The answer of the
department to the argument of the
magazine publishers was issued yes
terday. 1t declares that every ma
terial premise on which the argument
is based proves to be faulty, and con-
sequently every important conclusion
reached is fallacious.''
The interesting. almost startling,
assertion is made by Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock that IF the rate on
second class mail were made high
enough to cover the entire cost of
transporting and handling it, which
has not been suggested, it would be
possible. without creating deficit, to
reduce the postage on letters from
two cents to one cent. Every time a
2-cent stamp is now placed on let
ter it defrays not only the expense
of handling and transporting the let
ter. but helps to pay, in almost equal
measure. the cost of distributing
through the mails the periodical pub
lications of the country"
Haul Newspapers Less.
The departments statement is an
elaborate discussion of the cost to
the government of postal facilities.
1t is shown that the average length
Of haul of magazines is 1.04S miles,
while that of daily newspapers, also
second class matter, is 291 miles, The
department asserts that the conclu-
sion that there is no more expense to
the government in carrying magazines
an average distance of 1.O4S miles
than in carrying newspapers POI
miles is so palpable wrong as hardly
to deserve comment"
1t was contended in the publishers
argument that the second class mat
ter should not be charged with the
proportionate cost of rural free de-
livery assigned to it by the depart
ment. because that branch of the SER
vice was "a governmental policy
conducted at great loss. and because
further. the periodicals have no need
of that service.

General Hitchcock says 1.-The depart

Trial Revealed Olandestine RI.
nance Between Accused
-: zsss
and Her Lawyer

Vienna, March 3.-With the recent
acquittal of Frau Farina Barowska, a
girl medical student and the wife of
Il public official of Cracow, of the
murder OF DR.. Lewicki, a lawyer with
whom she was in love. strange tale
of passion and espionage has come
to light.
Last year Frau Barowska, who was
noted beauty, was accused by
Polish journalist of acting as spy
for Russia. and DIR. Lewicki. who took
up her case. won her action for libel.
During the course of the action the
lawyer fell passionately in love with
his client. and the intrigue continued
for months until the doctor became
engaged to Polish countess. But
Frau Barowska refused to break off
her intimacy with the lawyer, and
there were many violent scenes b.
tween them.
In particular, they quarreled about
her love letters and the papers con-
corning the libel action, which the
lawyer refused to give up.
Lawyer Fatally Shot.
On July last year, Frau Barow-
ska telephoned from DR.. Lewicki's
chambers to two doctors and to the
ambulance society in Cracow to say
that the lawyer had shot himself, and
asking for help. When the ambulance
and the doctors arrived they found
the lawyer on the floor unconscious,
with fatal bullet wound in his right
temple. He shortly afterward sue
cumbed without recovering conscious
ness. Frau Barowska explained that
DR.. I4ewicki had suddenly shot him
self because he was worried about
charge which had been brought
against him also of being a Russian
spy, and that he was afraid of the
result of an impending trial.
There were many circumstances,
however, which suggested that she
had herself fired the fatal shot.
The room was in great disorder.
the drawers of the writing table were
open, and ashes in the stove showed
that number of papers had been
burned.
Trinl Reveals Liaison.
Frau was arrested and charged with
the murder, the theory of the public
prosecutor being that she had shot
her lover partly out of jealousy and
partly to get possession of the letters.
