Wants to Put Up;
the Price
The Georgia railroad is again
making an effort to induce the
railroad commission to allow it to
•raise passenger rates from 2 1 4 to
2 1-2 cents per mile.
The petition says that the Geor¬
gia Railroad Company, lessees of
the road from the Georgia Rail¬
road Banking company, have not
made euough to pay the annual
rental for the road and that it is
being operated at a great loss ow¬
ing to the low rate of tariff it is
compelled to operate under.
The matter will come up for a
hearing before the commGsion at
an early date. It is probable that
the representatives of cities along
the line will appear at the hearing
and protest against the advance in
rates.
If the lessees are actually mak
iug less than their rental, there is
one of three courses open to them
—either raise their rates, get a
lower rental or quit business.
The public will watch the out¬
come with interest.'
I'- Daintiness In Dough.
A west side family that abhors all
products of the bakeshop advertised
for a maid of all work.
“Can you make bread?” was the
question put to each applicant.
Of all the maids who professed to
own that accomplishment the mistress
chose the one with the frailest hands
and arms.
“I don’t know about the wisdom of
that choice,” ventured a male member
of the family. “Wouldn’t it have been
better to pick out a sturdier girl?”
r’ “Not at all,” said the lady. “What
tve require in this family, above all
things, is good bread. We half live
on bread. I am confident I have chosen
a good breadmaker. A girl with
rather delicate hands always makes
better bread than one whose fists are
like sledge hammers. Bread to be
good needs to be coddled in the knead¬
ing. The light fingered do that In¬
stinctively, but the heavy handed slain
and bang the very life out of the
dough.”—New York Globe.
Philosopher and Philanthropist.
“Coquelin was very charitable,” said
a theatrical manager. “He did more
for superannuated actors and actresses
than any other man in France. I once
heard him speak on charity in the
French Actors’ home, that he did so
much for.
‘There are plenty of philanthro¬
pists,’ ty of philosophers—plenty, said Coquelin. ’There I are plen¬
mean, ac¬
cording to the definitioh that too many
of us accept.’
t “fle smiled grimly.
>• “ ‘Too many of us,’ said Coquelin,
'define a philosopher as one who bears
with resignation the cold and hunger
from which his neighbor is suffering,
and toe many of us define a philan¬
thropist as oue who gives away other
people’s money. * ♦* «
A Coy Maiden.
A girl played postofflee at a party
and yelled and shrieked aud howled
and ran behind the door and scratched
the young man's face in seven places,
upset a lamp, kicked over the piano
stool, and when he finally kissed her
on the tip of the ear she faiuted dead
away and said she could never look
anybody to the face again. They led
the bashful, modest, gentle, sobbing
creature home, and the next day she

A Marvelous Cure.
It is related that once a German
American, growing more and more af¬
flicted witli extreme nervousness, got
the impression that lie was forgetting
English. The impression got so strong
that he refused to talk anything but
German. Then he became convinced
that he was forgetting that, closed up
like an oyster and was led away to a
sanitarium, where he spent his days
in complete silence.
A course of treatment was prescribed
for him in which baths played an im¬
portant part. Every morning the dumb
German American was thrown bodily
into a tub tilled with very hot water,
allowed to remain there awhile and
then hauled out and set to cool on the
piazza.
But once the sanitarium acquired a
new attendant who got his signals
mixed. He was told to bathe the Ger¬
man American. Filling a tub with ice
cold water, he threw the patient into
it.
“Y'ou -—■! You confounded -!”
roared the dumb man, beside himself
with fury. “You ——!” Then he
switched to German. “Du verfluehter
Esel! Du !”
The doctors pronounced him cured,
and he left the sanitarium the next
day.—Philadelphia Ledger.
A Domestic Hen.
Joe Jefferson used to tell tills one:
“In the spring of 1892. being in the
vicinity of West Swanzey, N. II., I
drove over to call on my old friend,
Den Thompson. It happened that I
called at an Inopportune time, as the
women folk were housecleaning. In
fact, I noticed as I drove up to the
house that the clotheslines in the yard
back of the house were laden with
carpets.
“Den was very anxious that I should
look over his prize fowls, in which he
took especial pride: We went out into
the big yard back of the bonse. As
Den xvas pointing out to me his favor¬
ites we noticed one old hen going
through some queer antics. She was
pecking away at something on the
ground, lifting it in her hill and drop¬
ping it again.
“ ’What’s the matter with the old
Biddy, anyway. Den?’ I asked.
“Den was silent for a' minute, then
drawled out:
it t Weil, you see, Joe, as she’s a rath¬
er domestic sort of hen I cat'late the
old girl must be getting ready to lay a
carpet.' "—New York Telegraph;
The Whole Story.
“I hear you are giving up your
charge,” said one aged and Infirm min¬
ister to another the other day. “How
ars yoor people taking it?”
“Oh, well,” was the answer, "I’m re¬
signing and they’re resigned.”— Liver 1 -
