RATE CASES ARE
 FINALLY SETTLED

Little Rock, March 2.-The compro- mise of the Iron Mountain and Cot ton Belt rate cases was consummated yesterday when attorneys for the state and the railroads signed a stip- ulated agreement. The proposal to compromise was made by the rail roads some time ago and tentatively accepted by the state at a hearing before the Arkansas Railroad Com mission February 15, at which repre- sentatives of the shippers who had claims in litigation were present.
 About 90 per cent of the shippers who have claims have signed the agreement, according to J. Sam Row land, chairman of the Railroad Com mission, The compromise provides that the railroads pay to the state S65,000 paid out in fighting the cases, that they pay all court costs and the expense of auditing the claims and the final disbursement to these claimants besides the payment in transferable scrip of 50 per cent of the freight claims and all of the passenger claims in interchangeable mileage.
 The state has accepted the propo- sition and announcement has been made that any of the claimants who desire that their claims remain in liti- gation will have to pay all further court costs themselves.

Get 10-cent box now.
 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- tion is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as youth The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles
 So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
 Age is not a time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bow els into activity. But a lash can't be used every day What the bowels of the old need is gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep.

At KAppER's SPUR
BY lola FORESTER.


The Walters ranch was Tie largest
on the mountain, and they had good
house i'll the l:,tle own besides But
Rita Henty had been at school for four
years down at Laramie, and Len Wal
tiers had never gone beyond the course
he had right there at Kapper's Spur.
1t had been part of the fun of coming
home summers to tease him and show
him the decided difference between a
person who has studied at Laramie
and one who has spent the best years
of his teens herding cattle.
Miss Baxter, the new schoolteacher,
was to arrive on Saturday. and just
for nonsense Rita went to the station
to meet her. Len was there, too.
There had been some correspondence
and it was settled the teacher was to
live at the Walters house. But Rita
was mighty sweet to the stranger
when she stepped from the westbound
train clad in brown, with a white felt
hat on her soft blonde hair And she
took her away from Len with a laugh.
Rita's father, the chairman of the
committee, should meet her first. She
would take her home to supper. and
take her to Mrs. Walters later.
Len stood and watched them pass
down the street from the station. Just
for a minute he had looked into Sid
ney's eyes and they had been divert

never lost that first charm for him.
Twice a week he rode in from the
ranch, and Sidney grew to look for the
visits.
My father was ranger Sidney

born in the forest, so | guess it's nat
ural for me to feel at home there and
love it best That's why | wanted to
come up here and teach school,
Would you like to stay?' He
blurted it out clumsily, but she did
not seem to understand what lay be-
hind his words How could she know
that he pictured her living out at the
ranch, his wife, and all the world
turned golden. Sidney shook her head
doubtfully. Perhaps if she could go
back East sometimes. Rita had told
her how tiresome Kapper's Spur be-
came. II her brother could come out
and take up ranching. then she would
like it.
Send for him. I'll take him on with
me- promised Len.
And the next few weeks Kapper's
Spur thrilled at the small drama en-
acted under its very nose. Big AL
Baxter, fresh from college, with a
halfback record behind him, a sense
of humor and plenty of good inten-
tions, not only came on and went after
ranching as if 1t had been trout fish
ing. but also after Rita Henty.

don't you drop these latest style flub-

Rita's brown eyes flashed at the big,
complacent fellow. He was so serene

win. 1t was fearfully slow at the Spur

"When?" She almost whispered it.
Her back was turned from him. Not

she had laughed at him and been so
self-sufiicient.

about the dark material?"
81 thought it looked rather cheap
That's ALL"
Now isn't that funny? You think
the dark looks cheap and l think the
light looks cheap, and besides it seems
kind Of sleazy. That's the reason I
ordered the dark"
$50 you've ordered it after all? You
just said you didn't order it."
What | said was that I didn't order
1t the other day."
What is the argument for II it's all
settled?"
II can change the order easy enough.
OF course I wouldn't think of taking
the dark If you think it looks cheap
81 didn't say it looked cheap"
"You certainly did You said It
looked cheap"
We'll, If did didn't mean it. What
] meant was that it looked compare
lively cheap. Compared to the other.
you know"
well, don't you think the light
stuff looks kinds of sleazy?'
Maybe it u.s. but that's one reason
like it."
well, If I can't get the dark goods
perhaps I'll take the light after ALL"
What do you mean by not being
able to get it? thought you said you
had, already ordered it,"
~ did, but Mons Blanc, you know,
only has the samples. He has to send
out and buy the material after you Sc
lect it. He said he'd call me up this
evening and tell me whether he could
get it or not. He knows I'm worried
to death. There's the telephone now.
I'll bet you that's who it is
Now what do you think OF that?
Isn't it exasperating?" she exclaimed
upon her return to the library after a
long conversation with the tailor
whats wrong now"
"He says he can't get the dark
cloth"
That's good" exclaimed her hus-
band. THAT puts an end to the argu-
ment"
Why, John, how stupid Don't you
see that he tells me he can't get the
dark goods because he wants to sell
me the light material?"
Il don't see how that follows at all.
He doesn't care which he sells you.
He wants you to be satisfied"
Then that makes it worse. II the
dark is really all sold out, it proves
what l thought, that 1t is the best.
Goodness, don't know what in the
world to do"
You'll have to do something What
did you tell him."
II told him to go ahead with the
light What else conld | tell him."
Tibbs heaved a sigh of relief and
picked up his paper.
Now Just one more question, John,
and won't bother you any more How
would you have the skirt made, plated
or plain? They're making them both
ways. Now auntie thinks"
