On reliable information, it is ascer tained that the railroads of Tenn essee will fight yesterday's order of the Tennessee railroad commissi on mincing passenger fares in the state from 3 cents to 2 1-2 cents per mile, effective, April 1, 1908. Rail road officials generally attribute the cause of the order aud the agi tation of the rate reduction to pol itics, and claim that as a result of politicians making an effort to come into public favor their in terests are being made to suffer. Officials of the railroads claim, further, that the enforcement of the order will have a very dangerous effect upon the railroad interests of the south, and that the cry for more soads to undeveloped com muuities will be strangled by the politicians in their effort to carry public favor and be ushered into offiice. An effort to enforce the recent order of the railroad commission will be contested in the courts, they state, and it will be shown that one of the railroads operating in Teun essee will be seriously handicapped by the enforement of such an or der.

New York Car. Grafted that a person wishes to do well whatever he set3 out to do, no matter what the nature of the undertaking, there must have been two chagrined young men on an avenue car the other even- Crowded upon the rear plat form where they stood were several men and one woman. The woman was old fashioned enough to wear a dress with a pocket in it. Some time during the trip from Thirty -fourth to Fifty-ninth street one r.f the men found the pocket and ex tracted it contents. At Columbus circle the woman, unaware of her loss, p'ushed into the ear and found a tear. Presently the solemnity of the tired throng was disturbed by a burst of hilarity on the platform. ' The two young fel lows were chaffing each other in boisterous tones. "You're a jay, you are," said one. "A body'd think you had spent all your life rolling over plowed ground. What you goin' to do? Keep it?" "No," waa the reply. "What's the use. It ain't no good." The woman listened inattentive ly to the loud remarks and wonder ed in a vague way what they had reference to. She nearly collapsed when she found out. At Seventy sixth street the conductor came through the car holding out a small leather bound prayer book which, when folded, might hove been easi ly mistaken for a pocketbook. "This belong to anybody in this car?" he asked. Several passengers appealed to shook their heads. Presently he stop ped before the woman. "This vours?" he asked. Hastily the woman felt in her pocket. "Yes. it is." she said. "Where in the world"- "Guess you must have dropped it," suggested the conductor. "Some fellows out there picked it up end handed it over to me. The woman turned cold all over. "Give it here, quick." 6he said. "1 want to see" Words were not required to tell what it was she wanted to see. The pause was filled up eloquently by her actions. Rapidly she turned the leaves till she came to a kind of pocket fastened between the pages nt the back. From this she drew two ten dollar bills. "I declare if I didn't forget al about leaving them there," she said lhank goodness, they didnt get ost!" The two hoodlums on the plat form eved the bills greedily. Jay, said one of them in tones of disgust, is no name for us fel ows." New York Times. How is Your Digestion.

If Mrs. Coker will take paris green half pound, and mix with five pounds of common flour, and sprinkle over her cabbage early in the spring, and repeat every fifteen days, she will kill all the green worms on her cabbaga.

The first strong external revela tion of the dry rot in men is a tend ency to lurk and lounge, to be at street corners without intelligible reason, to be going anywhere when met. to be about many places rath er than at any, to do nothing tangi- le, but to have an intention of per forming a variety of intangible du ties tomorrow or the day after.
