Cdsden remarked. "Most coiniuunl
kv come to look upon their
able right. Tba Det Moines decision
however, relieves . public utilities
from this Implied obligation to rn
dor 'service at all costs; it meant
that in return for complete rgula
tlon and control now merest d over
electric railways, the community
must on its part, see that the utility
1 adequately protected, otherwise It
will lose Its responsible ni-ency for
transportation."
-. In commenting on the above state
meat, Mr. L B. Moore, Local South
ern Pacific freight and passenger
service states that It 1 the ultimate
outg:owth of the present existing
conditions between the railroad com
panies and automobile traffic, un
less equitable regulations, effecting
both business are equally enforced.
"The Dea Moines Street Rallway
susnendtd service August 3, on order
of Federal Judge Wade, as a direct
result of Inability of the company
to operate under a five cent fare
franchise without jitney competition
and under eight cent fare with un
restricted Jitney competition." Mr.
Moore says. "A five cent franchise
was granted the company January
1,' 1914. The company never was
able to enrn either common or pre
ferred dividends, it operated 8?
mllea of track in Dei Moines, gave
interurban and power aervlce in sur
rounding towns and transported
much of the Des Moines coal supply.
High operating costs caused the
company In the summer of 1919 to
submit to the people a seven cent
fare proposal which was defeated.
shortly thereafter the company was
thrown into the hands of a receiver,
and remained bo to time busines
was suspended. Last August Judge
Wade allowed a six cent fare and
more recently the service was cut 45
per cent and eight cent fare granted.
When the eight cent fare went into
effect the city permitted Jitney busi
ness to take the streets under a five
cent fare and solicit short haul busi
ness in competition with the street
railway. In the winter months when

"I would say. 'Of course not:' "
"Please don't get indignant. Alice.

"The first Question a woman ank

agreed with Doctor Johnson, who ac
cording to Boswell, 'laughed at the

and kissed me. There was a fara

"I must go now, dear."
ily arms went around her. "1
did not mean to hurt you, Alice."
'You did not hurt me. It is only
when you and I speak of love that
we speak different languages." With
this she left the room and I was
overcome with grief and contrition.
I had hurt grievously one whom 1
loved devotedly.
I was not happy until late In the
afternoon when A messenger brought
me a note.
Tremblingly I recognized Alice's
handwriting. I opened it to read:
"I wish I csuld make you under

of one woman for one man and the

Qlatistons Explains His First Budget.
Wt owe to the late duke of Argyll
an gecount of the cubit. et meeting In
1S53 at which Mr. Gladstone, then for-ty-tl.ree
years of age. explained the
proposals of the first of his series of
famous budgets. "He came into the
rooni," writes the duke, "wlih a large,
flat, shallow official box, very old and
shut by, covered with drab colored
leather. He sat on a chair nearly
fron lng the window, whllut we all Sht
iu a kind of loop around him. Open
ing the box on bis knee, so that Its lid
stood uifriglit and afforded a rest for
any puer placed Uwn Its edge, he be
gun a conversational exiHwitlon, which

tion, for oiore than three hours." The

Burial Most Common FVactic.
Thdre are two Ideas of the proper
dlHnl of the body wheu Its spirit
lias tied one that it shall b preserved
so liiig) as possible, the otter that It
shall he destroyed hy the nnlural pro
cess of decay or by Ure. Burial In
the nrth. the most economic method,
is the common practice the world over
at the present time.
Itelh;lous beliefs usually rontrol ac
tion In this matter. Deaih has been
long utlllxed hy priests as the most
effective natural event for the Instruc
tion of men In faith and doctrine,
whence enme the solemn ceremonies
with which ull are fumlliar. The word
funeral, meaning "drawn nut" In the
l.utln from which It Is derived, murks
a universal tendency In Its ceremonials.
Egyptian Embalming.
Among the nncleiit Kgyptiiin. whose
clvllltalion was the earliest we know
about, embalming was pructlced by all
who could afford It for their dead. It
required some ninety days, the body
being steeped In nntrou TO days, then
washed inside and out, and treated
with cellar oil, after which It was en
veloped in linen blindages ut a cost
of uhout $1..VHI. A cheaper process

mummies in many museums attest
after Ihousaiuls of yeurs.
