FREIGHT RATES AND RIVER
TOWNB.
OTipt. C o. Sherrill, United State*
army engineer In charge of river im
provement work on the lower Missis
sippi river, says that thousand* of
inllea of navigable atreama In the
United State* are not now commer
cially used bora tine the railroad* have
cut freight rate* to and from river
town* way below a profit paying bail*
and have advanced rate* to and from
town* away from the rivera sufficient
ly to offaet the lose.
The remedy. Captain Sherrill any*.
Ilea In an Interstate Commerce Com
mission ruling, prohibiting the rail
roads from making rebates to river
towns. In this way the railroads
would be compelled to make their
bH*IC rates to river towns and non
river towns the same This would
mean lower average rates to non
river towns and practical revival of
boat service to river towns.
The Xewlnnds and Broussard River
Regulation and Flood Prevention Hill,
now pending in congress, provides for
the standardisation of etream flow,
and also empowers the Interstate
Commission to compel the railroads to
exchange freight with the boats un
der an equitable dlv lalon of charge*
and on negotiable bill of lulling.
Modern oil burning, self-propelled
steel barges are now being made in
New Orleans and successfully operat

In this connection the Ga/.ett* de
Holland, published at The Hague, says
of the development of the Port or
Rotterdam:
“The dominant Influence of goon
wa ter way* is shown by the following
figure*: In 1913 about six hundred
thousand tons of goods were sent from
Rotterdam by rati, whereas the river
craft that entered the port during that

COOLING THE HOME IN SUMMER
(From The Craftsman.l
The woman who l* about to furnish
her summer bungalhw or camp, or to
fit up the living room and porch of
her town or suburban home In cool,
country-like simplicity, w’lil find a
wealth of new furnishings and materi
als from which to make her choice.
Among the most distinctive of these
furnishings I* the Canton wicker ware.
Firmly yet flexibly woven, in simple
hut decorative and often unique de
signs. the light chairs and rockers, set
tle* and stool* suggest much summer
comfort. Tllen there Is the plain wil
low furniture which Is so serviceable
for the summer months and which
brings such a summer-like feeling Into
a city home. In addition to the new
designs In the plain willow, there Is s
new type made chiefly of wood, stHin
rd a soft green tone, and finished with
natural color open-work willow In the
form of panels that lighten the wood
atructure In peculiarly graceful fash
ion. There I* also plain wood fur
niture painted or enameled 1n white,
green or buff, which la partlrularlv
suitable for camp or summer house.
All of these piece* look best with some
simple floor covering such ns the new
Chine** »e.. grass rugs from Ken
Chong, which are firmly made by hnnd.
with woven designs In the border, and
c<>me In soft shades of brown, gretyi
sin! b'ue.
Rut perhaps the most striking thing
about the summer furnishings is the
use of color The printed linens, era
tonne* and ehlntxes reflect In their
flowery patterns all the richest and
moat vivid tints of the painter's pal
ette. They reach us mainly from Hun
gary and Bulgaria, hut there Is an
oriental feeling, too, in this splashing,
la Igh use of promtttve colors, while
here and there on* finds a touch of
Russian art, as In the big painted
rhest* with their rich red stid blue
and orange deslgna. The pillows and
a hanging*, the chlntn-covered trays and
table tops (so cleverly protected by
glassl, the gorgeously painted list box
es. the I/right Hungarian peasant china
with Its flower and bird motives, and
the howls and vase* from the ltuskln
Potteries In England, fragile but won
derfully brilliant In glaxe and tone -
all these things suggest simple and
effective ways to bring color and beau
ty Into tha summer home.

Federal Judge Emory Speer, of
Georgia, Is nut to be Impeached, In
spite of all the efforts of his enemies,
who piled up before the Judiciary
Committee of the house a mass of ac

ocratic majority of the committee is
In a rage, because It lias found noth

calling the Judge hard names. It
seems that no proper effort was made
nor opportunity allowed to give the
Judge a defense, but a republican
member of the committee announces
that as to the principal charge against
him (that he allowed enormous fees
In bankruptcy (uses), the facts show
Hint he allowed less than half the av
erage of the other Federal districts in
the south.
The real accusation against Judge
Speer and the one for which he Is
condemned by the majority of the
committee Is that he Is an Indepen
dent democrat, with such republican
leanings that he la a protectionist, and
voted for this policy when he was
elected to Congress as an Independ
ent from a Georgia district. President
Arthur promoted him to the bench,
and lie never did the south a better
turn, little as It appreciated the ap
pointment. Judge Speer fought for
the Confederacy, but when the war
was over he was willing to forget pre-

THE WITCH'S RIDE.
Freddie's nurse used to tell him
stories about the fairies and the gob
lins and witches, and, while Freddie
was always glad to listen to a fairy
story, sometimes he was afraid after
•nurse left him alone in the dark that
a witch might come and carry him
off.
One night, after he was left alone
Freddie snuggled under the bed
clothes and pulled them up over his
fiend, for nurse had told him if lie
did not close his eyes and go to sleep
at once a witch would surely get him
on a broomstick.
Try as bard as he would he could
not keep his eyes dosed. By and by
he felt drowsy, but still he was wide
awake when he heard a very pleasant
voice say, “Would you like o take a
ride, the moon is very bright to
night?”
Freddie uncovered his head and
there beside his bed was a witch.
Freddie was frightened, but she
smiled in such a manner that he
thoughgt she looked more like a kind

grandmother than a bad witch, bo he
said very timidly, "I think 1 would
like to go, madame, if 1 could get
back by morning.”
"Why, bless your dear little heart,”
said the witch, smiling again, "you
can come back at any time you
wish. This is such a nice moonlight
night that I thought that It would be
a good time for you to go and learn
that witches are not bad at all, as
your nurse had been telling you, but
Just old women who fly around at
night watching over little boys and
girls to see that no harm comes to
them while they are asleep."
"Oh, 1 should love to go with you,
duar madam witch,” said Freddie,
now quite over his fright and anxious
to take the ride.
"Well, hop on here in front of me.
then,” said the witch, making room
lor rim as she spoke.
Freddie jumped out of bed and be
fore he could think he found himself
sitting on the broomstick, In front of
the witch, and out of the window they
went into the sky.
"We will visit the man In the moon
first,” said Freddie's friend, “h'e al
ways likes to have callers "
The old man smiled a very broad
smile when he saw Freddie and said
to the witch, "You will find plenty of
tee cream and cake right behind nte."
The witch Tlew in back of the old
man. where there were banks of Ice
cream and mountains of cake.
There were hundreds of spoons
sticking out of the cream, and tne
witch looked until she found Freddie s
name on the handle of one. -ml then
•he told him to help himself.
While he was eating the cream she
cut off a huge piece of the cake
mountain and brought It to hint
Freddie was afraid to take it at
first for fear he was dreaming and
would wake up. but the witch scented
to know his thoughts and told him
not to be afraid, that this was one of
the real dreams
\fter saying goodnight to the moon
man Freddie and the witch sailed out
into the sky again. The stars seemed
very close to aim. and Freddie reach
ed out to pick one, but the witch held
his hand. "No," she said, “that is
something you must not do; every
mortal wants to pick stars, but what
would happen it they did? Don't you
see that the nights would not be so
ir autiful without them, and tne old
moon nmn would not smile any more
if his children were gone; the stars
are children, you know.
‘T am taking you now to the frozen
North Pole, where the people live in
a country of snow and wear fur
clothes.”
Freddie held on tight, for he felt
the wind as ne flew along, and some
times it blew so hard he thought he
would be blown off the broomstick,
but he managed to hold on, and soon
the witch stopped and Freddie saw
they were on the top of a mountain
that looked like glass. All around
he saw big cake.s of ice, and on some
of them were white bears.
The witch told him the bears were
Bmiling at him, but Freddie was not
so sure about that; he thought they
were showing their teeth and think
ing how much they wished he wer«
within their reach.
“This is a very cold mountain we I
are on,'.’ said Freddie at last. "I
would rather go where it is warmer.
“We are on the top of an iceberg,”
sttid the witch, “no wonder you are
cold; ive will hurry back, for I do notj
want you to catch cold.”
“If I could get one of those bright
stars,” thought Freddie, “I am sure
it would warm me; I don't believe all
the stars are the children of the moon
man. If I had one to put in my
pocket I am sure it would warm me.” i
He looked around at the witch, who
seemed to be dozing as he sped along,
and when they came again near to a!
star that was particularly bright
Freddie put out his hand to pick it.
But just as he touched it he heard
a scream for "Help! Help!” and this
frightened him so that he'jumped and
lost his balance.
Down, down he felt himself going,
and his feet were cojder than ever.
Then suddenly he saw his mother
standing over him.
“You have kicked off the clothes,”
she said, as she covered him and
tucked his Teet under the soft blan
ket, "What are you dreaming of?” I
she asked.
“I did not think I was dreaming," t
replied Freddie, rubbing his eyes, j
“A nice old witch took me for a ride,
on her broomstick; and. mother, they I
are nice old ladies and never carry I
off little bovg or girls unles they want
to go. I shall never be afraid of
them again.
"Of course not," said his mother, as
she kissed him and patted the clotnes \
Rround his shoulders, "witches and;
goblins and all the fairy folk are fond!
of children, and only help to make,
nice stories for them. Now go to 1
sleep again, like a good boy.”

Baby Grace and the Spools.
Once upon a time Baby Grace
was sitting on the floor in her
mamma's sewing room playing
with some spools that mamma had
given her.
Pretty soon she became very
tired and so drowsy that when
her mother left the room for a lit
tle while Baby Grace did not even
see her go for she was fast asleep
on the floor. All of a sudden she
heard one of the spools she had
been playing with, say: “Oh dear,
don’t like my clothes at all, in fact
it seems as if I didn't have any
thing on and I really feel cold.’’
"Yes, you are right,” answered
another spool. "I used to be
dressed in a beautiful red silk
gown but the lady who lives here
kept turning me round and round
nearly every day and pretty soon
unwound so much of my beautiful
dress that one day it all came off
and since then I am just rolled
around on the floor by Baby Grace
and am cold and dirty and not at
all pretty.”
“I had a grand black woolen
dress, so very thick and lovely,”
remarked the first spool, "but ev
ery time the lady took a black
stocking out of her work bag I
knew right away I was about to
lose some more of my clothes and
it wasn’t long belong I too had
nothing on but a hat with a
number on it.”
Baby Grace awoke with a start
(for it was only a dream you
only a dream you know, al
though she didn’t know' it) and
ran crying to her mother for sne
felt so sorry for the poor cole
dirty spools.
Her mother comforted her.
however, and getting a crochet
needle and some pretty colored
worsted showed Grace how ti»
crochet with her little fingers
and taught her how to make two
beautiful little dresses of woolen
yarn for the poor spools so they
would not be cold or dirty and
more.
SMALL ORDERS ANDTHE H. C.
OF L.
(From the Indianapolis News.)
“One of the principal causes of
the high cost of living,” said a
wholesale grocer, "is that people
expect too much from the mer
chants with whom they deal.
"I stopped in at a grocery store
the other day and the grocer re
ceived a telephone order to de
liver a 10-rent bottle of olive oil
at once. He said the woman lived
five squnros from the store.
” ‘That is nothing,' the grocer
remarked to me; ‘a day or two ago
one rs my customers asked me
to send $5 to her house to cash a
check and a little later another
customer telephoned for ten cents’
worth of postage stamps.’
"I believe the worst example of
a demand for small deliveries oc
curred a day or two ago. I was
walking down the street with a
friend when he told me he had
forgotten to order something sent
home. He stepped into a grocery
store, placed two pennies on the
counter and asked the grocer to
please send a cake of yeast to his
home right away.”
