Two Little Bills,

Robert was in the habit of expecting
reward for every little service. At the
end Of the week he made out a 'bill'
to his mother and carefully laid it
where her eyes would fall upon it.
The items were as follows:
Mother Owes to Robert.
give cents for running errands.
give cents for being good"
That evening there appeared beside
Roberts plate a paper upon which was
written:
Robert owes mother, for years of
happiness, nothing; for nursing him
through long illnesses, nothing; for do
ing good to him, nothing"
Thoroughly ashamed Of himself,
Robert ran to mother, threw his arms
around her and sobbed:
Mother, I will do everything I can
for you after this, and I'll never ask
you to give me anything but just
love."-Onaha World-Herald.

ancients. They knew as we'll as we
all now know that there is such u

1t just as modern medical science has

There are so many explanations that

wants to do all they can in as short a time

tribunal
If the Western railroad men have really ac
cepted the verdict of the Commission as maj
they are TO be commended for their good sense
The opinion seems to prevail among the West
ern magnates that too much public attention
was focused on the hearing just ended, because
the amount of increase and the number of rates
were so large. 1t has heon limited that had the
railroads gone about steathily and asked
for increase in few rates now, few more
later. and others still later, they would have
been granted what they asked. In this view the
is to be plundered no more successfully by piece
meal than by the wholesale, II the railroads
can show that there is absolute necessity for adj
vancing certain rates. it is the duty OF che In
terstate Commerce Commission to allow the
increases. and the public will approve the de-
cision.
Until the railroads prepared to prove the
necessity for advances, ithon, which the Com
mission can grant no increase, it behooyes the
officials to make the best of conditions to-day.
Railroadng may be a losing proposition in this
country, but We do not any of the systems
going into bankruptcy. nor have noticed the
officials changing their abodes from brownstone
fronts to hve-room fats on East Sides. The
railroads will get along quite nicely with the
rates they now have, thank you, and when they
show that the tariff limits imposed upon them
work hardships on them, the Interstate Com
merce Commission should and will come TO their
relief with legal and public approval of higher
charges.

These neighbors met in the public road and
got into dispute about line fence. Terry

Brown with his saw and said, I'm saw your
