What she had meant to do had been simply to call up
Hiram X Williams the telephone, tell him she was

ask for an appointment with him. 1t had been Johns
idea after all that personal meeting would be better
than simply answering his letter. And she had carried
it out because she and John had got to be separated
she preferred coming to Edmonton TO letting John 60 TO

She wanted to find out whether her half of a ten.

Of Hiram Williams. Ii it did, she wanted TO ask him
where he got it, and whether he had idea IN what
circumstances it had been divided Also she wanted to
inquire whether, about seventeen years ago, child OF

wouldn't necessarily be limited to Hiram Williams:

ANOTHER REDUCTION
Rates for Money Transferred by Tcle- graph to be Changed March
 1, 1913.

Rates for the transfer of money by telegraph throughour the United States and Canada will be reduced by the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, March 1, 1913, subject to approv- al by commiss ons.
 The design of the new rates is to cheapen, particularly the charges for transfer of small sums of money. A tabulation of the business for 1912 shows that the average amount re- mitted in telegraph transfer was about SAY. Nearly tWo-'hirds of the entire number of transfers were for sums of $25 or less, while 4 per cent. of the total transfers involved were for $1OO or less.
 The business si transferring money by telegraph has had notable growth during the past ten years having more yhan tripled in volume. This had been due principally to three causes: The urgent necessities of Amer can busl- ness. the extension of Western Union transfer facilities to may additional points. and the enlarged system Of bank agencies throughout the country n connection with the Western Union trasfer service.
 The number of places in the United States and Canada TO which money may he transferred by Western Union telegraph for payment is now over 14,OO0.
 Charges for the transfer of money by telegraph, are made up of two fac tors. One is the premium and the o1ber is the telegraph tolls. The prem ium is a vary ng percentage on the amount of money transferred to cover insurance and banking costs. The tolls are for the necessary telegraph message involved in transaction.
 The schedule to become effective March 1, changes bo'h or these charges charges, so that the new rates will be as follows:

GOOSE SOME RACER.

Camden, Ark, Feb. 6.-Adolph Eel seminal, manager of the Carson Dry Goods Company, pulled off one of the most amusing advertising schemes ev- err seen here Wednesday afternoon. The feat consisted in number of foot races by children with goose. As a matter of fact, the goose was a large gander,4 but they called it a goose inasmuch as it was advertising Red Goose shoes.
