Where shadows dense would fall

And feck the shaded wall.

I'd have 4 house on pinus height,
Above the stagnant fen;
OF isolated mountain crest
I'd he a denizen.
Mist woven clouds would touch my pines.
And shed their rnoist'ning drops;
The subtle clouds would as IN spell
Make gray their dark, green tops
4 bracing air with ozone charged,
Transpare pure and

Ethereal pineland fair,
The wild beast DER his trodden spoor
Would undisurbed pursue
His way from crag to dale.

Ger him who dwells beneath their boughs
They stand a sentinel.
Then let me dwell among the miner.
Since sorrows vale I've trod
For with their stately trunks they point

Norfolk, Va. June 26-With thu
assurance OF the State corporation

the interstate express rate contro-
verSv would be taken uptl all
parties interested had been accorded
an opportunity OF being heard, Traffic
Manager w. A. Cox Of the chamber
Of commerce Of Norfolk returned
home from Richmond last night.
This action on the part OF the COR
poration comm issinn was announced
shortly after the express company had
submitted t. this body tariff that Is
practically entirely new, so completely
has II been revised
Because of the short time IN which
he had In Richmond after this tariff
was filed with the commission Mr.
Cox was unable last night TO go into
the various phases of the revision,
and stated that the proposed new
rates were complied along the lines
Of the block and subblock system
In the short time In which he had
10 90 over the proposed rates MIR.
Cox found that in many instances
present rates on commodities were re-
duced. though in other cases the rate
was Increased
Packages weighing less than fifty
pounds VIII be carried, according 20
the prop0see tariff at much lower
rate than that now in effect while
shipments weighing. more than this
will cost more than at present. with
but very few exceptions
All the hearing before the corpora
ton commission yesterday Mr. Cox
represented not only the chamber Of
commerce, but also the delegation Of
shippers who We're in Richmond Wed
nesday and who returned that night
after placing their protest In the care
of Mr.. Cox

stated that a general meeting OF all
concerned would undoubtedly be CALI
ed and tn new tariff as submitted by

Whether or not further protest will

the force of her toviality simply
makes them yell for more of voice
that has little to commend 1t except
surprising vigor. Billed as the head

her title ely, being a friendly soul
whom you can like, and like lot.
Miss fuckers pianist, Frank G. West

hands ragtime drips unerringly and
fascinatingly.
Miss Tucker heads a bill that Is
easily up to the Forsyth standard.

as program making is concerned, the
bill must have been hard to handle.
