Hee flaws, by Nelle Sahc

The girls of Terre Haute, Indiana, have organized matrimonial union.
 The weather bureau has improved its faculties and is dealing in better class of goods.
 It is but natural for a millionaire sugar kings wife to think her baby the sweetest one in the world.
 Perhaps many man forgets that it is his wife's birthday, because there isn't anything about her to remind him that she is day older than she was year ago.
 We can judge the length of time that brakeman on passenger train has been in the service by the indis- tnctness with which he calls out the names of the stations.
 Last nights train was crowded with college girls. They were all pretty-all college girls are. One of the prettiest in the bunch stuck her head out of the car window and re- marked aloud: q fanybody knows me here, come up and talk to me-" and any young man who couldn't snatch from the dim past the suspi- cion of an acquaintance with an anx- ious beauty like that must be an en- tire stranger to everything and every body-even goth century courtesy.

agent, the commission.
Inquiries About Rates.
The President then made inquiries
concerning the general progress Of the
commission In revising the particular
horizontal rates which the administra-
ton believes has put more burden on
certain commodities than they can
bear.
He expressed much qualification to
learn that the commission already was
at work on a revision of such rates
and was said to have been particular
ly pleased at the suggestion of a vol
untary agreement among carriers to
make the desired reduction.
Referring to the many complaints
which have come to the White House
about fruit rates in the West, Mr.. Har-
ding expressed hope that these sched-
ules were among those whose revision
is under consideration. He was in
formed that although no definite steps
had been taken, the fruit schedules
had been informally passed under re-
view and some action was a possibil-
ity of the near future.
The conference was understood to
have had to do with the proposal that
the government pay the railroads now

count of federal control and defer for
Is years collection of the money due
to the government from the railways
