A hill now before the Illinois 'egls lature i.s rcd'ivin a great cieal of at tention from shippers who use the express companies. It was prepared ;r-.er the aiic pices of the Qtilncy Freight bureau, and af'er receiving the approval of its hoard of directors was introduced in thu senate by Stia or Mearn, ai d in the house by linn. (I. H. Wiijoi of that city. It is known as sena'e bill. No. 0, and house bill No. .U. The purpose of this bill 1 to p'aee express companies in ' n; s stat un der the jurisdiction and control of the railroad and warehouse commis sion, as common carrier, iu the same manner ns railroads. It gives the commissi a-.itl-orlty over them; permits it to investigate, upon its own initiative, and prepare and enforce a schedule of rates by express in this atatf. 1'he bill re quires express companies to furnish shippers with a receipt for charges paid, which they do not do now; quote rates in writing upon request, and be responsible for the correctness of same; requires the express com panies to file with the commission copies of all tariffs of Tates. classifi cations, rules and regulations. It gives the commission power to sus pend such schedules and classifica tions pending an investigation as to the reasonableness of same, either on complaint of a shipper or upon its own motion. It requires express companies to give equal facilities and service to all shippers without undue preju dice. To post tariffs and classifica tions in their respective offices 'for the convenient use of the public. To receive shipments in regular order and expedite the same. If joint rates are not made by them in this state, the commission has power to do so. Penalties are provided for violation of the provisions of the act. It is a bill prepared by and to meet the daily requirements of shippers by express. Many shippers' organization throughout the state are actively supporting the bill and endeavoring to secure its passage at an early . date. ; It is well known that express com panies in Illinois deny there is any authority of law for their regula tion by the railroad and warehouse commission. Recently the commission, after months of investigation, decided the rates charged by express companies in this state are too high, and pro mulgated a new schedule of rates, materially reducing them. The ex press companies obtained an in junction in the United States court, which has held up the commission er's schedule and permits the ex press com rallies to continue to charge the higher rates which the commission condemned. The Quincy Herald says : "It -is timely that the question of state control of express companies be settled, and power given the com mission to regulate their charges in this state in like manner to that of railroads. If there is any doubt as to authority it should be promptly re moved by the passage of this bill. "The legislature will be serving shippers to good purpose if they will give this measure prompt at tention, and providing It will become effective immediately upon its pas sage, thus stopping the express com panies from charging shippers rates which the commission has decided are unreasonable." Eating lp Money. There is a man out in Denver who is being pursued by the sleuths of the law because be chewed up a lot of ten dollar bills and washed them down with whisky. He Is said to be a Chicago man at that, and that removes some of the element of wonder at his performance. The charge to be placed against him If he is caught is the destruction of currency. If he had spent the ten dollar bills in buying more whisky to pour down hi3 throat it is possible that the worst that would have hap pened to him would have been to spend the night in the police station or in some secluded hotel, but when it came to chewing up Uncle Sam's good money that was more than the proud heart of the police could stand without breaking. There are a lot of men who are getting rid of their mon ey in ways Just as foolish, but then somebody else gets the use of it afterward. We have heard of "throw ing money to the birds." but this la a new way of getting rid of it. After this Chicago spendthrift has set the pace we mny expect to hoar the er pressirn hereafter '"he is eating his money." Good Faith. No manufacturer has a poiketbook long enough to continue advertising an article that has no merit. The newspaper reading public is well aware that this broad statement applies es well to the retail mer chant as to the manufacturer. No retailer ha? a poeketbook long enough to ront'ijue advertising a store that does not render satisfac tory pervicc. The regularity of a merchant's newspaper advertising, therefore, iu itself Inspires confidence. It is a guarantee that the advertiser is. to use a popular phrase, "on the level." BUFFING OF WIDOWS. The Horrible Rito India Maintained Fcr Over Twenty Centuries'. The ntxilitiou of the horrid rite of widow burning in In.i:a was decreed by the British authorities in 1S29. The dreadful pnu-tl-e was found there by the Macedonians under Alex ander the Great 30o years before Christ, and for more than twenty-one long, wenry centuries did it repeat its almost inconceivable torture and ago ny upon toe women of India. The sacrifice, while not actually forced on the wife, was so strongly insisted en by public opinion that it amounted to a law, and its victims were legion. Scores of widows were often burned upon the funeral pile of a single ra jah. In Bengal, the head renter of the monstrosity, thousands were sac rificed annutilly, and the figure for all India wes appalling. The millions of widowed women were completely at the mercy of the remorseless superstition of the times. The niinisters of lirahmanlsra told the widow that her sacrifice was nec essary as a means of her own happi ness and that of her husband in the fntnre state, and oftener than other wise he consented to be burned along with the dead ImvIv of her husband. Unless she did this she was covered with the maledictions and curves of the people, was virtually outlawed end unceremoniously cast outside the pale of human sympathy and consid eration and had to spend the rest of her days in degradation and wretch edness. It was death on the funeral pile of her husband or a living death of contumely and shame, of loneliness and misery. The women of India can never dis hsr.ee their debt of gratitude to Kng land for the abolition of the suttee. New York American. CHEAP SLEEPERS IN SWEDEN Ten Hour Rids Costs Passengers but 67 Cents.

Trio fabric of thve years tm woven fine, Wrth seeming disregard of tint or hue, With careless mingling of the shade or shine But somewhere tn the warp and woof are you. Somewhere the shuttle oasts the bmdmg thread That holds forevermore each act or deed. The things you dreamed and dared, the words you said. The things you thought were given scanty heed. All of the worKs and words of living men Into the fabrio of the years are blent. Are woven In and out, and in again. And in the Knotted threads of time are pent. It matters not though it be darh. or light. Though you live tr the dim defile of dreams. Though you press ever to the luring height. You spin a thread that either blurs or gleams. Tis so with all the greatest and the least. Wherever in the world they may abide. If north, or south, if in the west, or east. They stand forth bravely, or m silence hide. All patiently and surely swings the loom And patiently and deftly must it weave. Must catch your thread from cradle to the tomb . And set into the fabric all you leave. A nation may be weaving cloth of gold. Yet it is made of peasant. King and slave. And somewhere in the fabric, woven bold. Is each man's life, or be it gay or grave i And there are spaces where the colors fade And spaces where they glow with gorgeous bus. But every strong or feeble tint is made Of threads spun in the life of me or you. So you are but a thread, and so am I, And the uncounted men of all the days Have given song and smile and sneer and sigh To mafte each coloring that deftly plays Upon the fabric broad and long and deep And crowns, and cowls, and chains, and booKs, and spears. And sob and song, and all men sow and reap Are woven in the fabric of the years. (Copyright, 1910, by The Argus Daily Short Story The Head of the House. By Edward B. Knight. Copyrighted. 1910. ty Associated Literary Prase, Sam Martindale and Theodora Trask had been engaged a week. There had been more billing and cooing and kiss ing in that one week than there would be in five years of the married life be fore them. Then Sam called a halt to look practically at the future. He was not a man to drift through life; be pre ferred to prearrange everything. It seemed that there was a great ocean ahead of him and Theo. of comfort or sufTer?ng. of anxiety or discord, of con tentment or unbappiness, and across this ocean it became him as the bead of the house, the pilot, to steer their bark. Before taking a voyage does not the mariner familiarize himself with the areas of probable storm and sun shine, of navigable water and sunken rocks? Why should not he as com mander lay down on a chart the exact course the family ship should sail? To begin at the bottom, was he to be the commander? The very fact of his asking himself the question shows the depth of his understanding. If a gen eral is to conduct a campaign it is necessary that his word be the law for his army. Martindale realized at once that if he were to pilot the family bark he must bave no interference. Having thus' settled the matter by deliberation, Martindale concluded to broach the subject to bis fiancee, mere ly as a preliminary reconnoissance in order to feel the enemy. "Theo," be said gravely, "since you and I are to pass our lives together It may be well for us to come to an understanding on one Important point. In every government, every business, every family, in order that the wheels may run smoothly, there must be one bead. I would like to know how you feel about the matter." "It seems to me," said Theo after thought, "that we should both be head." Martindale was not prepared for wbtt he considered flying right in the face of the fuadamental principles of order. What was the family but a miniature state? And the idea of a state having two governors! Absurd! Theo saw by the expression of bis face that she bad assumed too much. So she hastened to say: "Why. dearie, don't you know that a wbman just loves to lean on a man for guidance? You're to be bead, of course," This was a great relief to Sam. He took his fiancee in bis arms, kissed ber and said: "Sweetheart, you have no idea'how appy you've made me by saying that Our future happiness depends upon It There must always be a bead to s family. And how hard it would be for both of us if you rind a disposition to usurp the husband's place" "I would never think of 6ucb a thing." He save her a dozen kisses and left tier, fled with joy tliat the basic prin ciple of married life in hi cr.se h:td been settled without a word of dis pute. Indeed, it eliminated all the rest crar days that we may apply W. G. CnaDmii.) of f iXi problem, for since he was to be undisputed captain he had no doubt that he could guide the family bark safely. The couple were married. There was a big wedding gifts galore, rice throw ing, a trip and at last a settling down in a home of their own. During the engagement Theo had never expressed an opinion, much less made a decision, that would have interfered with Sam's position is heir apparent to the sov ereignty of the family. Theo had long been conneeted with a charitable association of which she was the secretary. One morning a fortnight after the couple's return from their wedding trip she woke up with an aching of the bones. In a feverish condition and in other ways Indicating that care must be taken to avoid a severe illness, perhaps death. But there was to be a meeting that i day of the charitable society, and the i secretary was expected to be there. ! Sam was astonished to see his wife preparing to go out in a storm, already ill and with the probability of coming back: to face pneumonia. "What do you mean by even think ing of going out?" he exclaimed. "Why. dearie, they can't get on with out me." "They will get en without you. ! forbid your going." "Ob. I couldn't possibly stay at home. I'll wrap up well, wear my rubbers and keep dry. There's not a bit of danger." Martindale sat with his morning pa per on his lap. looking fixedly at bis wife, while she continned to put on her belongings with as much sang froid as if she tad not heard the com mand of her lord and master. When she was ready she took up an um brella, bent over ber husband, kissed him and went out "Well, by Jove! I like that!" ex claimed Sam to himself a soon ss the door was eloped behind his wife. It would be impossible to give an adequate description of the disappoint ment, chagrin, mortification and fore bodings the young husband experienc ed at this utter disregard for his word of command as captain of the family ship, ne carried out the simile thus: In the face of a storm he had ordered precautions, whereupon the crew had crowded on sail to wreck the vessel. What wts to be done? Fight it out to a finish, conquer now or never. When Mrs. Martindale came home from the meeting ber husband was not there. He had gone to business. Time came for bim to return, but his key did not rattle in the lock of the front door. He had gone to bis club and was sitting with the evening paper be fore him. tryiag to persuade himselt that be was reading it. but really ia a mental fjrmol!. The question of the dooesti." supremacy bad com up for settlement, and it must be settled- J bin way. ' He .ordered his dinner at the clnb and when It was served went Into the dining room and ate it alone that Is, he ate a few mouthfuls; he couldn't eat any more. His wife would know where to find him. and If she wanted him very badly she would telephone for him. Then he would Insist on an apology and a promise never to do so any more. After that he would go borne and forgive ber. It might be a good lesson for ber if she would be very 111 in consequence of her stupid, obstinate defiance of his order not to Invite pneumonia. At one moment he almost wished this would happen; at the next he was hi terror lest it should. Dinner over, be sauntered out Into the cafe, lit a cigar and suffered. Several men he knew were there, but when be saw one of them advancing to speak to him. pretending not to see bim, Sam turned and walked the other way. ne hoped every minute to be called to the telephone Whenever a waiter came toward bim he looked at the man anxiously, and when the waiter passed bim without the sum mons he desired he crushed back a moan. But he wouldn't yield. , By 9 o'clock he was In despair. He concluded that if be didn't get a mes sage from Theo before 10 be would go home and upstairs to a room by him self without paying any attention to bis wife. Meanwhile bis actions had made it apparent to every waiter in the club that be was eager for a tele phone message. At 9:55 be went into the coat room for bis bat and coat, and when he emerged a waiter ran into him, shouting: "You're wanted at the telephone, sir!" Martindale ran to the booth, knock ing down another waiter who was bunting him to tell him be was wanted there, brushing by three more who were making dives for him from dif ferent directions to give htm the same news. Inside the booth be took up the receiver and heard in a faint busky woman's voice: "Is that you, dear? "Yes." "I thought you must be at the dub. I Just called you up to say I'm talk ing from the phone next the bed that the doctor has been here to see me and said I bad a high fever. That was about 6 o'clock. Since there was no one here to take care of me but the cook he telephoned for a trained nurse. I knew you must be having a nice time at your club with all your old friends, and I didn't like to spoil yonr fun. But nurse says that I'd bet ter try to get some 6leep now, and I preferred to tell you about It before doin? so. Don't hurry home; have a good time." "I told" ne was about to give her the usual "I told you so," but checked himself, saying instead that he would be at home as soon as he could get there. "You were very unreasonable this morning." the voice continued, "but I bave forgiven you. ami you needn't trouble yourself about that at all. But don't make a noise when you come In. I don't believe I shall get any sleep, bnt" There was a click, followed by a ring, and a different woman's voice said: "Mr. Martindale?" "Yes." "I'm speaking to you from the lower hall telephone. Your wife Is very 111; threatened with pneumonia; tempera ture 104 degrees," "I'll be there In five minutes. Why the devil didn't you" ne dropped the receiver and bolted for the street door. Mrs. Martindale fortunately escaped a long illness, but she was for several days In a condition not warranting her husband bringing up any other subject than toast, tea, temperature and time to take medicine. During the danger period he was In an agony of fear lest be should lose the woman who would surely dominate him through life, for this first episode bearing on the bal ance of power in his family bad open ed bis eyes. It was too late to go back and choose some other woman who would permit bim to assume bis posi tion as bead of the family, and he wouldn't bave done so if be could, ne quietly made up bis mind, as many another man has done before him, that In the case of woman certain laws that regulate the universe are suspend ed. His wife bad disobeyed an order be had given ber foe, ber own good, thereby showing a perversity for which be as well as she had suffered. And for having brought upon them both this suffering. Including a fifty dollar doctor's bin, she bad forgiven him!

ON THE TRAIL But He Didn't Know the Kind of Gams Hs Was Tracking. In the old days a erann known as Judge Douglass lived In Helena. Mont The Judge bad met with an accident In his youth and bad lost both of his legs above the knees. lie never would get artificial legs, but had some big leather pads made to fit on the ends of the stumps and walked on them. Locomotion was slow for the Judge, but he managed to cover a good deal of ground and was very fond of walk ing out on the edge of the town, where be could take bis exercise without be ing the subject of remark from stran gers in the city. . One day an Englishman came to Hel ena to hunt. He bad some letters and put up at the Helena club. He stayed around for several days. Finally, aft er a light fall of snow, he decided to go out into the mountains and get a sbeep or a deer or something. He left early In the morning. When It came night he bad not returned, nis hosts around the club waited until 8 o'clock and then decided to go out and look him up, thinking be might bave been lost in one of the gulches or canyons In the bills. They formed a rescue party and went out to the edge of the town. There they met the Englishman, who was wildly excited. "Did you get 'any thing T' they asked bim. "No," be replied, ."not yet, but I've been tracking an elephant for the last three hours." Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. Life Lines BY BASILIC tTS. MONDAY Copyright, 1911. The man who Is willing to forgive will himself, get quickly the richest gift; to forgive and forget is the best way yet to make all men love eacii other. Be sensible and use your common sense whenever you are in doubt as to what you should do, and you will then do your best. When you work hard to pleise yourself you are likely to shame your fellows with your wicked ways, forgetting yourself will make others remember you. Kvery time that you make yourself better you draw all humanity close to you; you will never drive out. dross from yourself by being cross to otnei6. There must be cheerfulness in man before you can get charity out of him; man must drop the grouch or else he will have to dance to the devil's music.
