the tables and of collecting the profits
from the same, all of which went to
pay for publishing printed instruc-

We could tell before the thing
commenced that it was going to be

several "triangles" which threatened

too tired TO care whether they were
ever solved or not.
My one real dread was connected
with AIMS father, Augustus Best.
He was due to leave town en- the
midnight train for the first leg of his
excursion around the world. Bob
had warned Morrison to look out for
him in the crowd, and to take care
that he didn't get near to Ann or her
mother, and to prevent him from

The first vigorous increase in rates
squeezes out considerable revenue.
But as the rates are sharply in
creased the income is not increased
in proportion. In fact, a point is
soon reached where there is no in
crease and after that the revenue
falls off.
The rate becomes "prohibitive.
The passenger-if it be a street car
company-walks to save the eight
cents. Or if it be railway company
the traveller stays at home or con-
fines his trips to bare necessity.
The iobber takes his salesman off
the road and does business by mail.
The freight seeks local market
or gets itself distributed by automo-
bile trucks. Or it may even rot on
the ground or lie in a warehouse I'M
| used.
No matter how hard a squeezed
lemon is squeezed, it will not give
juice.
The other end of this proposition
is illustrated by the excursion. Spec
ial low rates are made-large extra
equipment is brought into use and
by carrying a thousand persons for
half the rate, the company makes as
much money as it would make by car
rying 500 people for double the rate,
and in the second illustration it has
given service, which, after all, is one
of the purposes for which such con-
Germs exist.
Yes, Mr.. Ultimate Consumer, you
