Revised Schedule of DemurTage
Charges.

Effective February l the American
roads put into effect a revised sched-
ule Of demurrage charges on re-
freight is shipped.
The new schedule or demurrage
charges on these classes Of equipment
allows shippers two days free use
of cars; following which there IL a
charge of $1.00 day for the third,
fourth and fifth days, and $500 a day
for the sixth, seventh and eighth day
that equipment Is held. For the
ninth day and for each additional day
after that time the daily demurrage
charge il $500.
The demurrage regulations govern
ing the class OF equipment which
have been in effect have allowed two
days free use OF the cars and uni
form charge of $1.00 for each addi-
tional day.
The aim Of the new regulations ~
set forth by the railroads in an
nouncing them to shippers IL to facil-
itate the handling of shipments re-
curing refrigerator car service. The
new charge has received the endorse
ment Of the National Industrial Traf-
nc League, whose membership Ii
composed of the traffic managers Of
manufacturing and industrial plants,
with a view to cooperating with the
railroads In the prompt movement OF
traffic.
1t has been recognized by railroad
managers and business interests that
delays to traffic have been occasioned
frequently on account OF shippers and
cOnsiEneea using cars for storage in
stead Of loading and unloading them
promptly. Where railroad equip
ment is used as warehouse facilities
car shortages have been experienced,
especially when such is the practice
of large shippers and the acquies-
cence of the National Industrial Traf-
fic League and National League OF
Commission Merchants presages "a
correction of such difficulty to large
extent
Other endorsers of the new tariffs,
which have been filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission and va
rious State Commissions, are the Ma
tional Poultry, Butter and Egg a.
ISOLATION, Western Fruit Jobbers As
ISOLATION, International Apple Ship
pers Association, North Pacific Fruit
Distributors and New York State Cold
Storage Association.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has notified Its agents and patrons
of the new schedule of charges fol-
the special equipment used in the re-
frigerator trade.

London, January 1.-THE writer
Of the cleverest and most humorous
sketches of trench life SO far pub
lished in the London papers has at
last fallen a victim to the bullets he
used to joke about. Capt. Robert

Infantry, adorned by his men and one
of the most popular men In Upper
airy during the term he was stationed
there was killed on December 80 and
buried i'm the village Of Estaires at
the side of a fellow-officer. He was
the holder OF several medals gained
in the South African War, and had
some years experience In India.
The following extract from a let
ter illustrates his easy style and
quaint humor.

The Brain of tho Ship.
Up above the control room is the con-
ming tower, the brain of the %warship, as
the control room is the heart.
1t is a steel block house. If the ironclad
is a flagship She has two floors. the top
one being used by the admiral. and when
ever the action begins the captain shuts
himself up in his steel coming tower to
direct the lighting.
II the control room is the hottest place
on board, the coming tower is, perhaps,
the most dangerous. These are the two
spots toward which most of the enemy's
fire is directed. and the chances are
against either place remaining intact if
the battle is of even moderate duration.
An example of how gunners always try
TO destroy the head and heart of opposing
warships is furnished by the terrific battle
OF Isushlma in the Russo-Japanese war.
After is Minutes.
on one of the Russian battle ships the
admiral and the captain were both killed
IN the coming tower within i've minute
OF he first shot being fired. Up came
the SECOND in command to take charge.
Before he could get a proper view of the
situation, a shell crashed through the con-
nlng tower again. This time not only
lie secOuu IN command was Killed, but
also all the other officers In the tower.
The quartermaster saw what had hap
pened, and telegraphed the disaster to the
control room. Then, gathering together
some Junior officers, he ran to the tower
through a hail of shot.
The only officer who could take charge
was a young fellow, and he was not used
TO the business of war. He found the
coming tower filed with mangled re-
mains and he tainted on the spot. Some
body roared a message down the speaking
tube for both engines to be reversed, for
by this tme the warship was drifting to-
ward the enemy.
But before the order could be obeyed
another projectile tore a great gap in her
side, and the water rushed into her boiler
room In a %twinkling the ship was half
filled. She drifted to the Japanese, full
of dead and dying men, the colors trail
ing In the water. In less than is minutes
it had been reduced from a spick and spar
ironclad to a waterlogged, helpless dere-
lict.

Resistance and a Higher Power

BY Elizabeth Towne In Nautilus.
Yes. Jesus said. Resist not evil"
and L say it. And l imagine that He
as we'll as | said 1t out of q long and
varied experience which proved 1t
right. Love can overcome, but re-
s%istancc cannot. And if you have
raised resistance you may be sure that
1t will a a whole lot more love and
a much longer time to overcome the
trouble whatever it is. 1t is only by
not resisting. by finding a point Of
agreement and reasoning from that.
that we can influence people. AS long
as the resistance exists both sides can
find plenty Of reasons to prove their
own view correct. "Oh, what a Won
derful creature is man" exclaimed Ben
Franklin. he can always find reasons
for anything he wants to do
Resistance is on the intellectual
plane, but love is an entirely differ
ent thing, Love can overcome resist
ance. but resistance can never over
come owe nor affect 1t.
Do you remember Aesop's fable OF the
wind and the sun. and the wayfarer
with a cloak? Tho wind bet the sun
that ne could tear the mans coat off
whereupon the sun wagered that he
could not. but that the sun could coax
1T off. The harder the wind blew the
closer the mar Rugged his cape. But
when the wind gave up and the sun
came OUT the man quickly laid his coat
aside.
There is in man the instinct OF self
preservation that compels him to re-
sist a force applied to him from with
out. But give him a convincing req
son, or a convincing feeling and he will
do the thing OF his own accord. The
wind applied an opposing material
force and reused a resisting force on
the same plane. The sun applied a
higher spiritual power that Changed
conditions but left the man free to
choose. !"
Resistance is the push of one h,,-
man VIII against another. the harder
the push the more stubborn the resist
ance even unto death. We cannot
overcome evil by force OF will, though
we may be strong enough to kin or
the appearance of it for the time be-
Ing.
When o stop to realize that every

one Will. you can see why. AS we'll

Velop muscle in both hands, but neither
