Would Give Him Exercise.

Former Congressman George r.
Smith of Minneapolis is fond of hunt
ing and takes great pride in the owner
ship of a costly setter dog of noble
birth. One day an old man, who was
acting as guide for the hunt, came near
making lifelong enemy of Smith by
critcizing the dogs technique In the
field.
1.-THE dogs perfectly all right" de-
clared Smith, Indignantly. II wouldn't
trade him for any dog ever saw, only
he doesn't get quite enough exercise.
I'm busy and have to keep him penned
up good deal. He ought to have
more exercise and that would improve
his hunting"
"Has he got any fleas?" inquired the
old man.
Should say not" replied Smith, in
suited. "That dog has his bath every
week the same as hope you do.'
'Why don't you give him few
fleas?"
'What do you mean, give him fleas?
Why should want fine dog like him
to have fleas?"
"Well," opined the guide, thought
fully. they'd give h,r, exercise.'-St.

LOWER COAL RATES

Government at the Capitol and

Institutions.
GOSSIP OF THE STATE HOUSE

IlGIIC.-
South Dakota coal dealers will get
their coal from Wyoming and Mon
tana mines on a lower freight rate
by reason of decision by the inter-
state commerce commission in what
are known as the South Dakota coal
cases. The finding of the commission
is summarized as follows:
Rates on coal from mines in the
state of Wyoming to certain destina-
tions in the state of South Dakota on
the lines of the Chicago and North
western railway and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul railway east of
Rapid City and Miles City are found
to be unreasonable and unduly pre-
judicial as compared with the rates
voluntarily maintained by the defend
ants to substantially equidistant
points in Nebraska.
Through rates, joint or local, to all
points in South Dakota on the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway and
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway to which through rates are

ion Pacific Railway company from

joint and local rates published by the
same carriers from the same mines
to points substantially equidistant in
Nebraska and other states.
The rates on coal from Glen Rock

cents lower than the rates from Hud-
son to the same destinations and the
rates from Hanna to South Dakota
destinations should be on basis not
less than so cents lower than the
rates from Rock Springs to the same
destinations.

Not Such a FooIl

There is an amusing little story
about Sir Eric Geddes as a boy which
shows the new first lord Of the adj
miralty possessed of resourcefulness
at an early age.
He was somewhere about ten when,
on being given $3.50 by his father as
pocket money, he forthwith went and
spent 1t all on second or third hand
bone-shaker. This earned him a
severe reprimand from his parent for
reckless extravaganza, but the cul-
prit rose to the occasion. Going out
the next day he returned, having sold
the bone-shaker for $40.
