Before Remedy was Found.
Miss Minerva Reminger, Upper Bern.
Pa, writes: "For several years had
nervous prostration. and was utterly
wretched. I lived on bread and beef

blood, cures so many nervous diseases.

The authorities of Melrose, Mass,
have ruled that hens shall not be allowed
20 roam at large, but may be kept if the
Board of Health will issue a permit, to
cost 25 cents. Now if Yankee genius
will invent a muller for ROSTERS, one
that can be attached at night and re-
moved after breakfast, there would be
no objections to keeping hens in town.

In a recent editorial on "The Barrens'.
the Bangor News has this reference to
Texas of half century ago: cit was
country of swamps, chills- and-fever, a
region inhabited by horse thieves, gam
.hlers and murderers, who had lately es-
capped from penitentiaries. The News
is only half right. The swamps and
chilis and fever did not exist, except pos
sibly at the river mouths on the coast;
but the horse thieves, gamblers and
snurderers were very much in evidence.
Along the coast the land-perhaps we
should say sand-is low, as witness the
comparatively recent flooding of the city
of Galveston, and gradually rises in I'M
G7ulations toward the interior until it be-
comes ihiily and rocky and practically a
desert. In the SOS the government sent
out an expedition under Capt. Pope of
the U. S. Engineers to bore artesian
wells on the Llano .Estado (staked plain)
and about the same time imported herd
OF camels to be used in transportation of
men and supplies across this desert. Near
the coast, and for perhaps $50 miles back
there were groves of pecan trees, and in
northern Texas the southern pine -four
sshed; but in western and southern Texas
ahe only tree growth was along the rivers.
In the desert region the prickly cactus
reigned. Much more light be said of the
Typographical features of Texas in those
early days, when there was not a mile of
railway in the State and the two-wheeled
Mexican carts, drawn by oxen, were the
only means of transportation, but news
paper space is limited and the subject is
practically inexhaustible.
As to the 'shorse-thieves, gamblers and
murderers. "Sour up-river contemporary

Words of Comfort

Stroller White, of the Whitehorse Star, thus offers consolation to the transportation officials indicted by the recent grand jury:
 "The Chinese prototype of the Sher- man Anti Trust Law is beautifully brief and simple. It contains but four paragraphs, which are as follows:
 "'Those who deal with merchants un- fairly are to be beheaded.
 "'Those who interrupt commerce are to be beheaded.
 ""phose who attempt to close the market are to be beheaded.
 Those who maintain the prosperity Of commerce are to be rewarded
 "Tbe Stroller gives the above for the. benefit of some of his friends who were recently indicted by She federal grand jury at Juneau, Alaska, on the charge of violating the Sherman Antitrust Law, and who will appear at the Alas kan capital on Wednesday of next week for trial. The Chinese manner of deal ing with such offenders is given in the hope that it will prove ray of sum- shine to those charged in the dark hour when they stand trem bliugly before the tribunal of justice, when their knees tremble like aspen leaves and when they feel that the thum bscrew of the law is being steadily frightened. Then it is that they may thank their lucky stars that they are charged with violat- ing the law within the confines of Uncle Sam's hospitable domain instead of in China.
 Any other comfort aud consolation the Stroller can dig up from time to time that will serve as slight illumin- ation in the darkness which hovers over his friends, will be gladly fur nished. There is one thing the Stroller admires in himself: His heart goes out to those who are in the relentless clutches of the law, no matter if they are guilty"

The White Pass Wins

The White Pass rate case was de- cided at Ottawa, March 12, by the Rail- way Commission, Judge ). P. Mabee, chairman. The new order rescinds that of October, 1910, providing for re duction in all transportation charges of one-third.
 ! In rendering bis decision, Chairman Mabee stated that the company would be threatened with bankruptcy if such wholesale cut was made, and, there. fore, no alteration in the present rates would be ordered in view of the fact that the company had volunteered to make certain reductions. President Dickeson has wired the commission from Chicago that he will voluntarily make material reductions and readjust. ments.
 Commissioner Mabee announced that the case is not yet fully disposed of, but at the end of year the company will be required to submit a statement showing results of the new rates volun- tarily made and that intervention at that time will depend entirely on the showing made in such a. statement.
 In delivering the decision Commits sioner Mabee said:
 "This board has been strongly i'm pressed with the argument thas en- forcing the rates in compliance with the previous order, or even more dras- tic reductions, would work to the com pany's advantage in attracting traffic to this route; that it would assist iu developing the country and form in. inducements to develop mines and generally open up the country and tend to general prosperity. But this is a matter of opinion. If the earning ca pacity of the road was cut in two and traffic did not increase, then such de- cision on the part of this board would wreck the capital invested and force the company into the hands of re- eeiver.
 '1It might be that the reduction de, mauded would increase the traffic, al though at this moment am at loss to see where it would come from Whitehorse and Dawson are no more stagnant than Skagway and the degen eration of the latter place cannot be laid at the door of the White Pass company.
 "I am of the opinion that great dea of dissatisfaction that has existed in Yukon oyer rates and other things con nected with the White Pass company could have been largely eliminated had there been more intelligent aud better management sof the company's busi ness. am also of the impression that these interests, under the direction of President Dickeson, will stand in bet ter favor with the people in the future than they have in the past. At any rate, it is better to give him an oppor tunity to develop certain plaus he has form ulated for the improvement and advancement of Yukon"
