According to the Krench naturalist De Parville, a gardener planted one afternoon 250 tulip bulbs on a terrace, and next morning he noticed that the ground had been disturbed and that the bulbs had all been taken away. He was confident that rats had done the work, and, taking a spade, he be- their nest. Soon he unearthed a large female rat, which he killed, and after digging a few more minutes he dis- covered an underground chamber lined with hay and Jeaves and connected by a corridor with two holes, which were evidently used as storehouses, for in them he found the 250 tulip bulbs. This was remarkable, but more re- markable was the fact that they were neatly arranged in two rows and that not one of them had been gnawed or otherwise injured. = Outdone.

This development came in connection with the artival of several hundred passes issued by the Illinoie Central railroad at the office of State’s Attorney Wayman, for use in the trial.

Williston, N. D., Aug. 30.—A cigar- ette which Paul Broskoski was smok- ing when he became involved in a runaway accident, in which he sus- tained a broken neck and instant death, is believed to have started a prairie fire which afterward burned his body almost to a crisp. Brosko- ski was on his way to his home near Squires, this county, when the acci- dent occurred. Only a few months ago the same team'that he was driv- ing caused the death of his son in a runaway accident. ary Firsts and Seconds. The youthful newspaper reporter ‘who has visions of being a famous au- thor is still wondering over the epi- gram made by a successful confrere when the latter noted his disappoint- ment over the return of a manuscript. “I thought sure,” sald the reporter, ‘with a sigh, “that that confounded sto- ry would sell. It's good stuff, if 1 did ‘write it, and I am -certainly surprised that it came back.” The successful writer grinned and then placed his hand on the other man’s shoulder. “My dear boy,” he said, somewhat | grimly, “there are only two stages ir the life of a writer. One is when he i8 surprised at getting his stories back' and the second when he is surprised at not getting them back. You're in the first; I'm In the second. And there you are.” But the reporter is still wondering.— Philadelphia Times, Russia’s Rulers in.Germany.

To Mr. Browning was assigned the task of meeting the guests. Late in the afterncon, when the room was well filled, there appeared st the drawing room door a woman whose face was famillfar.

Chicago, Aug. 30.—D law- yers representing hig Western railway systems were present when the inter: state commerce commission began its hearing of testimony obearing on the advance 1n railroad rates scheduled to go into effect Nov. 1. ‘The hearing involves 202 transporta- tion lines in Western Trunk line, Transmissouri and Illinois freight com- ping interests. According to President Darius Miller of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy the larger lines will not urge poverty as necessitating rate advances. Mr. Miller said that business necessity and expediency. rather than ‘‘verge-of- bankruptey” arguments will be made. The shippers have been organized to fight the proposed schedule for some time. The campaign is being directed by a joint sub-committee of traffic ex- perts, headed by F. B. Montgomery of Chicago, and including W. P. Trickett, Minneapolis: H. C. Barlow, Chicago; E. E. Williamson, Cincinnati; H. G Louis, and E. J. McVann of Omaha. The shippers claim that the rail- roads have padded records of their operating expenses in order to make it appear that an advance in freight tariffs is demanded by common justice to investors in their securities.
