The Ship and the Rail

Did you know that It costs about
$50 per ton to carry freight by rail
across the continent and only 81 per
ton to carry it from San Francisco
around Cape Horn to Liverpool by

Can that be the reason the railroads
are anxious to see big toll on ships

where the decades bring gilt chairs and
electric lights, where the little hrst
blonde sweetheart of the story grows
grey and querulous and tiny-bodied,

the people who say them; and maybe
it seems rare and mellOw-old because

There were cockroaches. They came
out of cracks and crevices and gave
Mr.. Bowser welcome. They climbed
water pipes; they skated across the
floor; they played circus along the
baseboards. He smiled grimly as he
watched them and thought of the sur
prise in store for them, and by and
be he scraped the wax from the neck
of the bottle and drew the cork. The
smell that greeted his nostrils was a
familiar one-one that reminded him
of his boyhood days in the country
and he didn't like it at all. He reas-
oned, however, that there could not
be an extermiatOr without d smell, and
he held his handkerchief to his
nose while he poured out liberal doses.
The reaches rushed to the feast, but
in 80 seconds the last one was making
off as if shot from gun. There were
three or four holes used by mice as
they traversed the house, and these
were also attended to, and when the
bottle was empty there was no doubt
in Mr.. Bowser's mind that animal and
insect life would be rendered painful
in his house for months to come. He
had just reached this conclusion
when the basement doorbell rang. He
opened the dor to find tramp who
menat to ask for a bite to eat, but
after one long smell the man turned
away with:
Thanks. I've run across 'em before,
and don't want any more!"
Mr.. Bowser was locking the door and
wondering what the man could have
meant, when Mrs. Bowser called to
him:

down there? This smell is driving me
out of the housed"
