 That's the singing of the little Nimblehngers,' she said. They're calling tRub-a-dub-dub, three in Q. tub working like busy bees
 When she went down stairs I climbed on the bench that held the tub of blue water. and leaning way over put my head down, when Diff! bangI Over came the tub! was drenched! And I spfed three little NtmbIefingers scampering away as fast as they could, and they laughed: l:
 When Mrs. Humpty Dumpty came up she never said a word about her pretty carpet being spoiled, but let me lie in her brown bed until my clothes dried and brought me a cup of cambric tea and some pound cake. I fell asleep and dreamed that NiTn- bledngers were dancing all over me.

THE FREIGHT SITUATION.

The startling statement is made be. fore the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce that Hot Springs is paying about $i00.000 per year in excessive freight rates, or that sum in excess of what reasonable freight rates should be by comparison with other points
 Although it is large shippers here who appear mostly interested in the subject this is because they are in a better position to know freight rates, and to realize that they are being oyercharged.
 After all, it is not the shipper who suffers from this excessive rate charge, hut it is the consumer. The man who conducts large business knows what his freight rates are. and he charges that up against the com modity he handles, SO it is the con- sumer in the end that is forced to pay the freight
 We all know that freight rates are high. That small city like Hot Springs, thougl. should pay $lo0,000 per year bounty to the railroads, is a subject worth much Investigation, It is well that the matter has been taken up before the new commercial organ ization. for there is remedy, and this organization will be able to find 1t.

POLITICAL INTEREST.

One of the essentials to the success of Hot Springs is a revival of political interest. We should get away from the old idea of voting for this or that man for office because of some trivial interest. but should measure the candidates for all offices by q standard of public efficiency, realiz' ing that our individual benefits will be greater if the benefits to the com munity are greater, Talk politics from viewpoint of qualification of the men. Measure them in the bal ance of efficiency And when this is done, and the best possible men are placed in all positions of authority, there win be no more of that is gen erally termed political handicaps."

RAILROAD RULES, 1852
INTERESTING REMtNpER OF
EARIX DAYS OF TRAVEL
Instructions for E~nsInssrs and Con-
duetors Appear Laughabls In These
Days When the Science Of Rail-
roadIns Has Been Perfected.

A most interesting exhibit OF the
early days Of railroading In this coun
try has been found.
It is q schedule for passenger trains
and rules for the conduct OF engine
men and conductors on the Wetsern &
Atlantic, which was at the time and
still Is owned by the state Of Georgia
The time table Il dated March l., 1852.
and vas issued by William Wadley, su.
perintendent, father Of George D.. Wad,
ley. the latter for many years man.
ager Of the Central Railroad OF Geor.
gia-
In the rules for e%nginemen and con.
ductors m many which seem quaint
In this age OF colossal r~ailroading. OF
course the road had only one track.
and rule IA for passenger conductors
shows that there must have been some
dispute when trains met as to which
train had the right to keep on its way
uninterrupted. This rule says:
"As a general rule when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run back. Any dispute as
to which train IL to retire is to be de-
termined at once by the conductors,
without interference on the part Of the
eng;nemen. This rule Is required to
be varied In favor Of the heaviest load
ed engine, or worst grades If they
meet 10 the center"
Rule z gives the conductor direc-
tons for reporting on the number of
passengers who are paying and the
number Of ministers Of the gospel who
were to be charged half price when on
business connected with their calling.
The same rule indicated that the gov
ernor Of the state and the general su-
perintendent Of the road were the
only individuals who had q right to
give passes.
The conductor was ordered to In.
spect the running gear of his train at
every station and, In rule IS, was ad-
monished never to leave Atlanta or
Chattanooga without the mail or with
out first sending to the p~ostoflce for
II. Rule II says that a train stopping
at any station at night must invariably
be u on the turnout 80 as to leave
the main track clear, and that strict
watch had to be kept in all cases
where a train stopped at night.
In the regulations for passenger en-
gtnemen there are a number which
seem almost humorous in this period
OF railroad management. For instance.
the engineman was Instructed that If
his train killed any stock and threw
the COW or cows In such a position as
to endanger the safety Of the next
train. he was to stop his train and see
that the track was cleared.
Passenger trains we're not to exceed
the speed Of their schedule except
when behind time, in which case the
speed might be increased three miles
an hour generally. In passing turn
outs (the turnout evidently was the
switching track) the speed had to be
diminished to six miles an hour.-Rail
