SOMETHING OF A NUISANCE
Mr.. Fatherly Comes 10 the Front
With Some Remarks About
Mammals New FootstooI,

THE only Christmas gift whose
presence In the house regret" said
Mr.. Fatherly. rs footstool which our
girls gave to mamma.
Mother is not an old lady, but the
girls thought it would be nice for her
to have something to put her feet up
on and then think that as a sort of
subsidiary idea they had a fancy that
1t would look well in the house.
Il am not familiar with footstool
architecture and so l don't know OF
just what design this one Is. whether
it's Louis XIV. or Louis V. or what;
but know it's built of mahogany, is
oblong in shape, upholstered in green,
has carved legs with claw feet and
that for its size it is pretty solid
piece of furniture.
ION Christmas night when the girls
put that footstool under mammals feet
Isn't that lovely? they said, an0
mamma said it was perfectly beautiful
and she sat with her feet on 1t for the
rest Of that evening. But she has
never used 1t since; she isn't a foot.
stool lady yet.
Then the girls began setting that
footstool around in our parlor or in
our library. where they thought II
would appear to advantage and where
1t would, by It's presence, enhance
the attractiveness of our outfit. 1t
has been during this time, while the
girls were placing the footstool around
here and there to see how 1t would
look, that l have become best &C
Quainted with 1t by stubbing my toes
against 1t.
For, you see, 1t was new to me.
and then, with the girls forever shift.
ing It around, really 1t seemed as II
couldn't go anywhere in those two
rooms without falling over that foot
stool.
Just now the girls have got that
footstool under the piano bench; they
are trying to see how 1t looks there.
The bench is Of mahogany and 1t has
curved legs and claw feet, like the
footstool's, and in way the two
pieces of furniture do harmonize. }
hope that this harmony will appeal to
the girls strongly, and that there un-
der the piano bench, for long time,
they will let this curiously, one might
almost say Indignantly. obstructive

WOOL FREIGHT RATES REDUCED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Makes Radical Changes.

Washington.-Radical reductions in
freight rates on wool, both in sacks
and in bales, transported from western
points df Oregon to eastern destina-
tons re now prescribed by the inter
state commerce commission.
The opinion holds the present rate
of $1.15 a hundred pounds of wool in
sacks from Colorado common points to
st. Louis should not exceed 80 cents
and that from points west Of Chey-
enne Wyo., on the Union Pacific and
Trinidad, Col, on the Santa Fe, the
rate to st. Louis might be 2 cents
higher for each additional 20 miles.
On the Denver & Rio Grande a rate
of 90 cents is authorized from the first
station west of Pueblo, with a similar
2-cent increase from points further
west.
Concerning the rates to be applied
on through shipments from western
points to Boston and New York Chair
man 2 routy said they should be con-
structed "by adding to the rates pre-
scribed to st. Louis, in case of sacked
wool, 80 cents to Boston and 4s cents
to New York; in case of baled wool,
AZ cents to Boston and 43 cents to New
York.
In the judgment Of the commission
transmit privileges should be allowed
at intermediate points on-a direct line
by payment of az cents hundred on
condition the shipments originated
west Of the Mississippi river.
In certain instances the commission
permits carriers to exact higher rate
for short than for long haul. The
carriers are expected to conform to the
commissio IS suggestions by May 1.
If by that time they have not con-
formed definite order will be issued.
