Man With the Hoe

oh. this is the time when the
man with the hoe gets out in the
garden where gooseberries grow :
he weeds out the spuds and he
thins out the stalks, and no one
would say he was kin to the OK.
You see him exulting, you hear
him exclain, Maria, come look
at this cucumber frame! The
dingbusted beans and the mar
rowfat peas are growing and
thriving as fine as you please.
Come hither, Maria, and squint at
the corn-the way it's been climb
ing since yesterday morn! And
look at the onions. a-fourishing
there-they'll II take the blue ribbon
this year at the fair!" And then,
if you watch. you will see the
man go, this downtrodden mortal,
the man with the hoe. to call on
his neighbors and brag of his
greens. his cabbage and spinach
and Safety First beans. The man
with the hoe, in the lands DER the
brine. may look like an OK or a
sample OF swine, as he drudges
along in the heat Of the day, for a
crust and drink and some coun-
terfeit pay: but here in this land
OF the brave and the free. he bub-
bles with mirth and he chortles
with glee; he whoops and he
laughs. where the peasant repines,
and bores us with tales Of his

NAMES NO PENALTY FOR
FAILING TO BUY TICKET
I. c. Commission, However, Decides
Railways Can Collect Reasonable
Amount From Passengers.

Although the interstate commerce
commission has decided that it is rea-
sonable for a railroad to collect an
amount in addition to the regular
fare when a passenger gets on g. train
without a ticket, it never has rendered
IA decision as to what amount is proper
and reasonable.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad re-
Gently filed a circular tariff with the
commission charging a rate of 10
cents in addition to the regular fare
when a person gets on a train without
Il ticket, except in the case where the
company does not maintain a ticket
office at the station. Formerly the
excess was collected, but was refunded.
The additional amount was collected in
order to keep a check on the conductor
Similar Case Is Recalled.
The only similar case which has
come before the commission was In
1890. when u government clerk sought
to force the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company to refund him the
whole amount of fare collected from
him. He had n communication ticket and
left il home. and in addition to having
TO pay the full amount OF the regular
fare he was charged 25 cents ad-
ditional each way.
The commission at the time stated
that the question of the amount of
excess fare not being raised, it did not
deal with that phase.
