A Nice Calculation

Two very dear old ladies walked up to the window where tickets were to be sold for two popular concerts. They wanted tickets for both nights; but, alas, those for the second evening were all gone! This was the more popular entertainment of the two.
 s1'm so sorry, my deary' battered one of the old ladies to the other. We did want to go, didn't we, and we wanted to go both nights?''
 "You couldn't give us two tickets for each night?" inquired the other of the clerk.
 "No, ma'am."
 "You haven't two seats anywhere for the second night?"
 "No, ma'am Couldn't give you nose room.'
 A great resolution beamed upon her gentle face.
 Then said she firmly, "give me four tickets for the first night We will make them do."
 "Why, sister, quavered the other, t.you're going to invite somebody
 Mo- said she, "but if we can't go both nights She paused, bewilder- ed, quite out of her calculation. Then a happy thought struck her, and she added, "We'll go twice the first night" Youths Companion.

PLUMBER SUED FOR BREACH OF
 MARRIAGE PROMISE

Henry A. Hegelin, a prominent plumber of Norwalk. left Miss Mae Catherine Reardon of Jersey City waiting at the church, so the latter ayers. She says that while resident of Norwalk Hegelin wooed and court ed his fair one, and was accepted. It was arranged that they should be united on June 5, 1909. Hegelin never kept his part of the contract. for on the wedding day though relatives and friends were on hand to wish them, Hegelin did not show up at the church. Because of his non-appear- ance she was humiliated and degrad- ed and suffered severe shock which made her ill. She was confined to her bed for number of days
 But that was not all. Miss Reardon says that relying on Hegelin's promise to marry her, she expended something like $1,000 in making preparations for the marriage which was never solem- nized. She asks $5,000 damages. The papers were filed in the Superior Court this morning.

A Wandering Lake.

Lake Nor, in the Tabi desert, in southwestern Asia, which has been called the wandering lake," presents phenomenon about which contra dictory views have been entertained. Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin has given the most plausible explanation touching this phenome- non.
 It appears, according to that explor- CT, that the Tarim river, entering the lake from the west, brings down dur ing the period of high water late in summer a great quantity of salt, which has the effect of driving the lake lying on the level floor of the desert toward the southeast But the sum- mer wind, drifting the surface sand and darkening the heavens with dust, blows generally from the northeast, and it, too, tends to drive the lake be- fore it. The combined effect of the urging by the wind and the river is to force the lake southwark Yet it is thought the migration of the lake is not constant in direction, but it shifts back and forth intermittently, according as the circumstances change.

Wisconsin Senator Speaks for
Five Hours in Support of
Cummins Amendment.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION DISCUSSED
Reconstruction and Better
Equipment of Commission
Are Strongly Urged.

WASHINGTON, May 25-" Before
the interstate commerce commission can
become effective it will be necessary to
equi- it much more thoroughly said
Senator La Toilette in the senate to-
day during a speech which consumed
practically the entire session.
He urged tho reconstruction OF the
commission and said the country should
be divided into districts in charge Of
n sub-commission. The Wisconsin sena.
tor spoke for almost five hours in sup
port of the Cummins amendment regu:
latlng railroad Tnte increases, and had
not concluded when the senate ad-
iourned.
The speech sidetracked the effort set
on foot yesterday for a compromise on
the basis suggested by Senator Martin
but there was more or less private dis
cussion of that proposition, and the
general impression was it would be ac-
cepted when tho vote is taken Mr.
La Toilette made two or three refer
ences to the Martin amendment, indi-
eating opposition to il.
Some Plain Talk.
"You'd better have the courage To
stand up here and vote the Cummins
amendment down than to dodge the
question by adopting a mere subter-
fuge," said he.
Mr. La Toilette said he would offer
an amendment providing for the physi
cal valuation of railways.
Quoting Senator Root as saying that
unreasonable rates could be corrected
under the present law, he said 'Ssuch a
statement impeaches either the intelli
gence or the candor of the man who
makes it,
Contending that the present railroad
rates are fnot only not reasonable but
arc eXtortionate, - Mr.. La Toilette de
clared "those who will not consent tc
give the commission power to exam
inc further increases betray the public
interest. [ am here today to plead that
rates shall not be further advanced up
til we go back and clothe the commits
sion with authority TO determine the
reasonableuess of rates and equip it sc
it can perform that service ~
Saying that of the 100000 miles OF
railways in the United States, six
groups controlled 100000 miles. Mr. LIS
Toilette found there really was very
little variety of interest in railroad
ownership in the United States. leaving
the control practically in one gigantic
trust, He found Morgan and Rookie
Teller at the head OF tho entire fabric
and he predicted that ultimately those
two names would stand not only for
the financial but for the production and
transportation interests ms well.
