lowest rate of freight to either point.
'trg on wheat in Virginia have
heretofore been based on Baltimore for
the Various grades OF wheat and to
determine the price from Virginia

points to Baltimore plus l cent per
hundred had to be deducted.
Tho division of markets in the Ag-

many points to Baltimore was excess

Administration Grain Corporation. and,
with the assistance or the Bureau of
Markets of the Federal Department OF
Agriculture. succeeded in securing the
establishment of Newport News as a

This will very favorably affect the

Naughan-l.loyd said that the arrest
was absolutely unexpected ana shat so
at AS he could see nothing had been
tone on his part to bring about the
'ssuance OF these warrants by Sweet.
The trouble arose OVER the searching

that Sweet was handling before he
Sworc out a search warrant contained

ALLEGES THAT SWEET
WAS HANDLING TRUNK
Lloyd said that off. :ials of
ne Richmond, Freder. cksburK and Po-
tomac Railroad have been active In
searching OF baggage on the part Of the
police without warrants. He added
that he had been reque sted to aid the
railroad authorities in their efforts to

activities OF Sweet. When Sweet re-
turned Selden questioned him as to
his handling the trunk before he had
obtained the proper authority The Of

that IL was not so. and that Vaughan
Lloyd did not know what he was talk

questioned the veracity of Vaughan
Lloyd.
After short time Vaughan Lloyd
returned and then Sweet told Lloyd
himself that he had not told the truth
if he had told Mr.. Se!den that he had
been shaking the trunk.
Then Officer Sweet went to the sta
ton house and swore out a search war
rant for the trunk in question. II
Hlater developed that the trunk which

Henri Graillot had made himself
thoroughly comfortable. He was en-
sconced in the largest of Johns easy
chairs, his pipe in his mouth, recent
ly refilled teacup-Graillot was English
in nothing except his prediction for
tea-on the small table by his side.
Through little cloud of tobacco
smoke he was studying his host.

have you indeed become heart and soul
a son of this corrupt city,"
"Whatever I may have become"
John grumbled, ''it's meant three
months of the hardest work I've ever
done!"
Graillot held out his pipe in front of
him and blew away a dense cloud OF
smoke.
Explain yourself" he insisted.
John stood on the hearth-rug, with
his hands in his pockets. His morning
clothes were exceedingly well cut, his
tie and collar unexceptionable, his hair
closely cropped according to the fash
ion of the moment. He had an ex-
tremely civilized air.
Look here, Graillot," he said, 'I'll

don't suppose you would understand
what it means to me. I've visited

Why They Lauuhed.

When a throng gathers about the
cages of the sometimes wild, some
times tame, sometimes quiet but usu-
ally noisy monkeys at the New York
Geological park, it is to be expected,
and the keepers regard the gathering
with but little interest. But when the
same sized group gathers about the in
closure of some less amusing exhibits
the keepers are Immediately active,
usually finding bit of geological tenn
permanent has resulted in a tantrum by
the lOng-ignored occupant. Recently
a keeper saw laughing battalion of
sightseers surrounding the cage of
Minnehaha, the smallest donkey in the
world. Minnehaha is cute, odd and in
teresting, but there is nothing about
her to cause observers to shout with
laughter. SO the keeper walked over
curiously. Someone had pasted a pic
ture of the German crown prince I'M
der the sign which announces what
Minnehaha is.

IS CURIOUS TRADE MONOPOLY
Making of Missionary Boxes in England
Has Been in Hands of Same Fam
lily for Many Generations.

It is curious how certain trades and
occupations remain peculiar to certain
families. There is one occupation
employing q large number of men to-
day which is in the hands of the same
family that has been associated with
it for many generations. 1t is the max
ing Of missionary boxes, says London
Tit-Bits.
1t might be supposed that any car
penter could knock together a suitable
receptacle for contributions to mis-
sfonary and other charitable funds !;
but the fact remains that every mis-
sionary society, every church organ
ization, that requires a collecting-box
goes. as a matter of course, to this old
established firm whose speciality 1t is
to make such boxes.
1t Is a thriving business, and one
which has profited rather than suffered
through the war, for the institution Of
flag days and other means of collect
ing funds has led to an enormous in
crease in the demand for boxes.

MOST SUICIDES IN THE WEST
Explained by Large Number of Health
and Fortune Seekers Who Go to
That Section of Country.

The most suicidal city in the United
States is San Diego, Cal, which had
suicidal rate in 1915 of 633 per 100000
people; the least is Holyoke, Mass,
where the rate for the same year was
81, says Worlds Work. In 100 cities
the suicide rate for 1915 was 20.3 per
100000 people. Figures running back
ten years show precisely the same or
der of precedence in different parts of
the United States. The eastern states
have the lowest rate-from 1910 to
1914 it was 16.5-the southern states
come next, and then the rate Increases
progressively as one goes west, reach
ing the highest rate on the Pacific
coast, and especially in California.
Certain explanations come immedi-
ately to mind. California attracts
many invalids, and dependency over
their physical condition may increase
the suicide percentage of the state.
The Rocky mountain and Pacific states
also draw thousands of men who are
seeking their fortunes-and a large

and South are more settled in their
ways, less subject to sudden business
and social upheavals, and consequently
more the home of steadygoing people,
The West is more adventurous and
still attracts a considerable number
of people whose varying temperaments
and varying fortunes might easily ex-
plain its greater tendency to self
murder.

There was something which sounded
to her almost like the beating of fate

this unseen visitor.
