Kansas ..........-.. 20.I 1SS
I'm the states named, with the ex-
ception of Kansas the witness said,
"the state commissions and courts
have recently, after a very exhaustive
inquiry, approved an advance in the
passenger rate from two cents to two
and a half cents per mile. The atten-
ton of this commission is called to
the disparity between Kansas and
these eastern states. where higher
state rate is now being maintained.
IF a rate of two and a half cents
per mile is justifiable in the states
with a population per square mile
varying from III to 50S.5, and with
a population per mile of railroad vary
ing from 679 to 2,55S, it cannot be
compensatory in state like Kansas
with a population per square mile of
20.7 and a population per mile of
railroad of 18S. Three cents per mile
in Kansas would not give lines inter-
ested relatively the same earnings as
can be obtained in the states with the
denser population at a lesser rate"
Mr.. Black called attention to Ar
kansas where the federal court has
just decided that two cent rate is
confiscatory, and allowed an advance
to three cents In Arkansas the pop
ulation per mile of railroad is 297; the
population per square mile, 80.
Attention was directed by the wit
ness to the low average number of
passengers carried per car mile on
81, under the present two cent rate.
The average coach capacity, he said. is
IS. The average train capacity null
tipiieS proportionately with the num-
Der of cars carried. This low average,
the witness stated, is caused by reason
of necessity of supporting reasona BILE
passenger service on branches. where
the traffic is exceedingly light. The
ina bi1ity to maintain higher average
per car and per train was assigned as
one of the great difficulties in making
passenger traffic remunerative on
western railroads today. 1t was
shown that in the case of a passenger
train operated over division of 200
miles. it is necessary to carry equip
ment to furnish seating accommoda-
tons for the maximum number of
passengers presenting themselves be-
tween any two points, the train fire.
quently emptying itself between other
points
Mr.. Peabody. the first witness in the
case, was unable to answer whether
it is customary to allow the line orig
mating the traffic a greater proper
ton of the fare than other lines par
ticipating in the. haul. because of the
originating line having a short haul
Mr.. Black answered the question, stat
ing that this is not the practice in pas
senger business, nor has it been for
the past thirty years. In dividing pas
through line receives proportionately
the same amount, unless it has con-
tributed its local rate in the cOnStruc-
ton of the through rate; but in either
event, the short line. or the original
ing line, is confined to its local rate,
whatever that may be. The witness
said he recalled no case in his ex-

prices quickly dropped back. The close,
nevertheless was firm at 10th to 1sc

SAVED BY STRAINS OF s.UsIc
"Home, Sweet Home" on Fla %lonica,
Gains Raging Moose, on Nj der
Bent.

Mike, long regarded as the tough
est bull loose which ever tipped a
horn about the game preserve of
Henry Payne Whitney, on October
mountain, was so thoroughly over
come by the strains of Home, Sweet
Home" played on a mouth organ,
that he ceased trying to butt down
a tree, from the limbs Of which one of
the most frightened linemen iii the
world was getting ready to fall, &C.
cording to a Pittsfield (Mass.) dis
patch to the New York Herald.
Cleveland Morey, a telephone line
repairer, and Lawrence w. Kidney,
his assistant, were repairing a wire
through the game preserve when
Mike, aching for an afternoon of unin-
t%errupted murder, started to work.
Kidney leaped a nine-foot fence, al
though ordinarily he cannot do more
than one and one-half feet. Morey
flew into a tree and Mike petulantly
began to butt it down.
Morey yelled for help and rocked
with the branches as Mike butted it,
while Kidney yelled outside the fence.
Finally, remembering that animals de,
light in mouth organs. he jerked his
harmonica from his hip pocket and
played what is Home, Sweet Home"
when his teeth will stay apart. Mike
was overcome; one moment a roaring
fury, the second strain of the popular
converted him into a perfect gen
tleman, content to amble off up the
mountain ~dejectedly. Morey leaped
so far out of the tree that he had to
hurry back to join the ~life-saving mu-
sician.

Charms Of Music.

An itinerant vender Of that cheap.
est Of musical instruments, the mouth
organ, merely a bit Of tin, was
whistling airs in lower Broadway, but
the crowd kept on its restless way.
After a short wait the vender tried
another air. 1t was "Cavalleria Rus
ticana.' Here and there the crowd
stopped to listen. First n and then
another, and then more, handed out q
nickel for the whistle. After he had
sold q number of his tins the crowd
began moving again. He placed the
little instrument once more between
his lips, The sound emitted filled the
street. 1t rose to the tops Of either
side Of the skyserapers, It stopped
the crowd on both sides Of the street.
The vender was surrounded by 2
crowd which purchased his stock.
The music took hold Of the mass OF
humanity and brought it to a stand
still in the busiest street in the world

when he was counting, How Can I
Bear to Leave Thee"

Woman in New Field.

The automobile sch COL at the Y. M.
G. A. at New York has proved that
women have a mind fer mechan les as
well as for millinery, the fare skirt
and tango. The class at this school
has a number Of men and about a dA,z-
en- woman members. In order to WIN
q chauffeur's certificate, they must.
absorb a lot of technical motor in
formation. That the woman members
gre doing SO is shown by their kan
iaation parlers. Not one of their num-
her has fallen below the 90 per cen
rating, and three of them have 100 per
cent. The women must learn the diff
ference between a cog and a carbure-
tor, and also locate and remedy en-
gine trouble. Instead OF bossing the
lob. they must get out and get under.
Mother Hubbards are used for this
purpose There are more than a thou
sand woman auto drivers in that city
and the number is increasing every
day.

Children are naturally truthful.
Often it is the falsehoods told by par
ents or older sisters or brothers which
start the child on the pathway of un-
truth.
When you promise the child some
thing, do not forget or disappoint. If
occasion arises when it must be a lie
or the truth, make it truth at the ex-
pense of everything else, unless you
"a put it off by saying that you feel
you should not tell until some other
time.
The little laughed at or winked at
ibs of childhood advance to the
bigger lies of manhood and woman
hood. The person noted as a child
for being unreliable in statement can
not at maturity enjoy the full conf
dence and esteem Of companions, and
SO loses the greatest quality for adj
vancement.
Do not shock the confidence and nat
uraI truth Of childhood by lies or de
ceptil,ns Which will SOW the seed OF
untruth. fulness and ~faithlessness.

Much as we desire truth, few of US
have the physique or the leisure to go
hunting after 1t, and we have to put
up with cant, which is simply a shod-
dy substitute for truth obtainable at
our doors.
1t enables US to cut a p~resentable
figure before our neighbors, and not
only to deceive ourselves, but to de-
ceive ourselves into the belief that
we are. deceiving others.
