A certain minister. who Is an en-

For instance. he'll say:

Sometimes it happens that the doc

to give them weight. On
one such occasion he remarked. "This

IDEAS ABOUT THE RAINBOW
Queer Notions Held by People OF
Different Countries Regard
Ing the Bow.

In many countries the rainbow Is
spoken of as being a great bent pump
Or siphon tube. drawing water from
the earth by mechanical means. In
parts of Russia, In the Don country,
and also In Moscow and vicinity. 1t
is known by a name which is equiva-
lent to "the bent water-pipe." In
nearly all Slavonic dialects 1t is
known by terms signifying "the cloud
siphon," and in Hungary II Is the
pump" "Noah's pump" and GODS
pump" The Malayan natives call II
by the same name that they do their
nanded water cobra. only that they
add "boba" (meaning double-headed), A.,
the equivalent In our language being
"the double-headed water-snake."
They tell you that the bow Is real
thing of life, that 1t drinks with it's
two mouths, and that the water is
transferred to the clouds through an
opening In the upper side Of the CEN
tire of the great arch. In the province
of Charkav, Russia, the rainbow Is
said to drain the wells. and to prevent
this many are provided with heavy.

The Ronceverte wv. Va. West Vir

rules for the guidance of its country
correspondents. These rules are just
as applicable TO The Breckenridge News
as the West Virginia newspaper. We
would advise our correspondents to clip
them out and preserve them for your
future guidance.
The rules follow liz part:
First of all, the News is a newspaper
designed to give the news of the neigh.
borhood, county, State and nation, and
no effort should be ma e to make ii the
purveyor of mere gossip or the instru-
ment of personal revenge. In dissemn-
atiDg the news it must be reliable and
impartial to the utmost degree. Once
In great while someone who has a
grudge against neighbor writes a letter
to the News in which a sly thrust is
made at the person he or she doesn't
like. Sometimes it is cleverly disguised
and the editors are unable to detect.
This should never be done, and is
earnestly hoped that no correspondent
Tor occasional contributor will so abuse
our trust. Personal feeling should never
dictate in giving news. Never overlook
the comings and goiDgs Of nelghbors
whom you may not like. Give all the
news of all the people, whether you lik
them or not.
Avoid as much as possible chroni.
cling the calls made by one neighbor
upon another who live on adjoining
farms. There is little news value in
such items.
Do not note the calls made by the
beaux on the bellies of the neighbor.

Do not forecast marriages unless
absolutely certain, but report them after
they occur.

commissioners give official color to

An automobile belong to w. B. Per-

Works. SO6 North Los Angeles street,
carrying Percival and Rev. c. M. Car
ter, pastor of the First Baptist church
of this city, was struck by Los An
geles railway car on the San Pedro
line yesterday afternoon, both occu-
pants 1f the automobile being hurled
to the street and seriously injured.
The accident occurred at Flfty-tirst
street and South Park Percival and
DIR. Carter were rushed to the office OF
a physician at Forty-first street and
South Park, where a superficial ex-
animation of their injuries was made.
A little later they were removed to
their homes and the family physic ans
called. -ercival is thought to have a
badly injured spine, besides suffering
internal injuries, which may prove IA
tai. DR.. Carter is said to be inter-
nally injured. He also received a
scalp laceration and several contusions
about the arms, legs and body.
SEEK MISSION SITE
Dr. Carter, who has been recently
appointed to the local church, started
out soon after noon with Percival in
search for a location for a new Bap-
tist city mission which both men are
o'clock they reached South Park avenue
and drove south. They kept in the
middle of the street car track and for
several blocks a car followed the au-
tomobile. At Fifty-first street the
car came close behind them and then
suddenly crashed into the rear end of
the machine. The automobile was
thrown clear of the track and both
occupants flung into the street.
According to the motorman of the
car, he rang his gong for fully a
minute before the collision. He said
he expected the machine to leave the
middle of the track momentarily and
so didn't slow his speed. AS nearly as
he could explain the accident, the au-
tomobile suddenly slowed and the car,
which was following only few feet
behind, could not be stopped In time
to avoid the crash.

street and Percival at $50 South Boyle.

Of R. R.. REBATES
More Witnesses Stamp Proposed
$27,000,oo0 Increase
as Unjust

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-F'ive ex-
perts for shippers testified today be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion in its investigation of proposed
rate increases.
On adjourning, the commission an
nounced arguments of the eastern and
western increase cases, consolidated,
would be heard December 9.
Today's testimony tended to show
that the proposed increases which the
roads claim will involve a net addi-
tional revenue of $27 ,000.O00 in the Of
fetal classification territory, extend
ing from New England to the Missis-
sippi river and north of the Ohio and
Potomac, were unjust and unfairly
distributed.
C. O. Ives of Boston, representing
shipping interests in New York, New
England, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland and Virginia, and said the
rebate had been abolished effectually,
but that when the practice existed the
rebates reached 35 or 40 per cent.
Mr.. Ives maintained the railroad
men were sincerely trying to do ava y
absolutely with preferences.
1.-The preferences that exist today are
in these tariffs themselves" ?" asked
Chairman Knapp.
Absolutely" replied Mr.. Ives.
Contendng that it was unjust to at
tempt a blank advance in class rates
from the seaboard to western territory,
he maintained that a 20 per cent ad-
vance from Chicago to Illinois and
Wisconsin and west of the Miss issipri
would not equalize a 20 per cent ad-
vance from seaboard to Illinois.

rail advances aggregating from 10 to
25 per cent in the last decade in addi-
ton TO the changes in classification.
He claimed the proposed horizontal in
crease is arbitrary.
The 20 per cent advance on the first
five classes, declared Mr. Ives, while
an excessive increase, is not the max
imum contemplated, for, he said, large
additional burdens are laid upon the
lake transportation, which does not
even have the justification of any ex-
traordinary increase in wages.
