There's many a man who kicks

Who says that the cost of chalky

Gives i'm a constant ache,
Who bowls when he buys a dozen

And roars a half an hour

Or half a sack of flour,
Who threatens to cause someone's
And rails against the trust,
And says that the cost of living

Will make the nation bust

For one of the latest shirts,
And pick out a swell three-dollar

And make no sign 1t hurts,

And buy round after round
In treating the crowd to flossy

Baggage Rates Held un.

New regulations for transportation of baggage proposed by nearly every rall- road in the United States, which in effect would advance the rates on ''excess, '' were suspended last week by the inter state commerce commission. The sus- pension becomes effective on July 1 and continues in force for 120 days. pending investigation. The new regulations not only sought to amend the excess rates but to prohibit the carriage of certain size pieces of baggage.
 The suspended regulations follow:
 "On and after July 1, for any piece of baggage (except immigrant baggage checked at port of landing) the greatest dimension of which exceeds 45 inches, there will be an additional charge for each additional inch equal to the charge for 10 pounds of excess weight.
 "On and after July 1, 1912, no piece of baggage the greatest dimension of which exceeds seventy inches (excepting immi- grant baggage checked at port of land ing) will be transported in baggage cars"
 The commission believes that the fixing by the roads of the dimensions of baggage will work an unneces sary hardship upon travellers
