R ailroad Rate Legislation. HIS PRIVILEGE. No servant, however secure In the affections of hla master, ever went farther than little Pagal, who, says Mias Cornelia Sorabjl In “ Sun-Babies,” pulled the punka, or fan, In the "Pres- euce'a” chamber. One afternoon the mlstresa of the bouae came home ear lier than usual, and there she found Pagal on the lowest of the steps lead ing Into the master's room, taking a bath. He waa gurgling and dancing in hla single wet garment, pouring the water over his head, and trying to catch It In his mouth. A ring of angry servants stood about him, scolding and threatening; but Pagal cared nothing for them. "Yes, yea," be said, "the water carrier will have to HU the tubs anew lu the morning; but what of that?” And he ran round and round In a ring, to dry himself. It was then that the mistress appeared, and the ser vants openly exulted. “ Now, at last,” cried they, “will the Presences know what manner of fiend thon art!” Pagal broke through the circle, to There are two perfectly good men; one dead and the other unborn.— Chinese fetch bis livery, which hung on a low- reaching branch of a mango-tree.

"Pagnl,” began the mistress, "what would the sahib say If he saw you? You were visible from the drive, and you -so cSreful about the honor of your sahib’s house! There was the well or pump at which you might have bathed, near the servants’ quar ters.” “ It Is true,” he answered, meekly, j “ But where should my master’s slave live and move except upon his door step? Yesterday I saw a little spar row bathing In this same tub of water. [ And I— could I be of less value to my sahib than that little sparrow thing? Surely not!” Then, after a pause, he added, with ; hig most Innocent air, “I take great care not to Invade the Miss Sahib's I part of the building.

I Testifying before the senate commit tee at Washington, Interstate Com merce Commissioner Prouty said in discussing the proposition to give that commission the power to regulate rail way rates:— “ I think the railways should make their own rates. I think they should be allowed to develop their own busi ness. I have never advocated any law, and I am not now in favor of any law, which would put the rate making power into the banns of any commis sion or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, whili that is done in some states at the pres ent time, while it is done in somt countries, I am opposed to it. * * * The railway rate is property. It is al' the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property is not good foi anything unless it can charge a rate. Now it has always seemed to me tha' when a rate was fixed, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, it deprives the railroad company of its property pro tanto. It is not necessary that you should confiscate the property of a rail road; it is not necessary that yon should say that it shall not earn three per cent or four per cent. When you put in a rate that is inherently unrea sonable, you have deprived that com pany of its rights, of its property, and the circuit court of the United States has jursidiction under the Fourteenth amendment to restrain that. * * • I have looked at these cases a great many times, and I. can only come to the conclusion that a railroad com pany is entitled to charge a fair and reasonable rate, and if any order of a commission, if any statute of a state legislature takes away that rate, the Fourteenth amendment protects the railway company.” G E T T I N G O F F A “ H IG H H O R 8 E .” T h e E x p e r ie n c e W h ic h a C o lle g e G ra d * n u te E n c o u n te re d . Any business man of long experi ence, college man though he be him self, will attest to the wrinkles that have to be taken out of the average college man at the first brush, says a man In business. I had an experience with one of them a short time ago. When I first talked with him he was willing to “accept” a position If it paid $100 a month, for instance! I turned him out In one minute and thirty seconds, asking that he call again about the middle of the next week. He came— that Is the charac teristic of the college man, by the way. 1 jumped on him before he got his breath from the walk upstairs. I ask ed him If he knew about how much his first three mistakes In the place he wanted would cost the house? He didn’t, of course. I asked him if he knew just how much more he might be worth to me or to another employer if he could assure mp or them that there would be no mistake to cost anything. He thought he did. Then I came down to the brass tacks of the jvhole question: "How long,” I said, "will it take for you to forget In the first place that you belong to one of the oldest families In Virginia; how long to forget that you were the valedictorian of your class; how long to lose recollection of your having proposed ’accepting’ a position at $100 a month, and to make up your mind that If I allow you to fill a place here at $:>0 a month for the first year you will be a fortunate yonng man?” He was hurt. An old friend of mine had been an old friend of the young man's father. He said he would call the next afternoon, and he came. "I am ready to go to work in the W h e r e E x tr e m e s M eet.
