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 ed In the shallow waters adjacent at a coat of two-fifth* of a mill per ton mile. There la no patent on the con struction of such craft and plans and descriptions may be obtained free by applying to the Inland Navigation Bu reau Oenegre Building. New Orleans. 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 vear nunil»€‘re(i not lc*y»B than 1R2.000, with a total tonnagge of SO millions. In other word*, the economic ad vantage of using boat*, wherever In Europe the development of Imam! navigation ha* been given scientific attention. 1* so great that the rail roads require legislative protection. 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.

The dem ocratic majority of the committee is In a rage, because It lias found noth ing Indictable nnd vents Its spleen by 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.

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 Wy ABB. HKT T ’"wS* » v Freest* mt the Wit«A «kVW* ou« cot* tk» Sky sfkiw 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.” (Copyright, 1914. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) GOLIATH GRAY. Goliath Gray keeps on his hat When he is in the house — and that.

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.” AS PREDICTED. ‘T always said that child would be a great help to her parents when she grew up.” "Well, what is she doing?” “Now, she iR teaching them the hesitation.” —Detroit Free Press.
