THE DAILY FAIRY TALE.

It is really just a bit exasperating to keep reading these fairy stories of kindness rewarded.

Here the other day In Greencastle, a nurse was extra kind to a grumbly old lady, and the poor woman obligingly died and left the gentle nurse $50,000. And now comes a story from Mattoon of a woman who smiled and said "Thank you" or words to that effect to a gentleman who offered her his seat in the trolley car, with the re suit that this same smiling one is now on her honeymoon with the obliging one, who of course turned out to be good natured and rich.

The story of the B. and Twakeman who helped the old lady off the train and found out after many promotions that his consideration had been extended to the mother of the president of the road, Is too well known to need repeating.

The trouble with these stories is that they always end up In about the same way. "There is a lesson In courtesy," they always say. "Just See what may happen to you If you're always kind and polite. "f

o-"

But after you've tried to be kind and polite for a lifetime or two and never felt a fortune dropping into your lap, what are you to do about it? One feels a bit like suing editors of Journals' which hold out false hopes to aspiring fortune hunters.

ROCKVILLE.

According to Editor Ike Strouse, of the Rockvllle Tribune, Rockvllle }s rap idly recovering from a week of Chautauqua, an annual summer complaint in Rockvllle, made more acute this year by the addition of Mr. Taft to the list of "features."

During1 the expiring week of culture, concerts and kicks, the audiences were three times assaulted with "This is the End of a Perfect Day," warbled In solo, duet fLnd quartet. Twice have lecturers alluded to Burbank's spineless cactus—although Burbank, by the way, no more developed the spineless cactus than George Washington developed the cherry tree.

Chalk-talkers drew four separate and distinct, but equally lurid, sunsets, There was in each the inevitable house (black chalk) with a light in the window (red chalk) during the suspense, the artists unwound slow, sad' lines about the old homestead. "Our distinguished ex-secretary of state" was alluded to three times, and every time the lecturers mentioned

German militarism" they were careful to bring in "British navalism." A piece at any price and a place in the sun were not neglected.

The audience sang the "Star Spangled -Banner" only twice. The superintendent wound up with the unavoidable closing words: "We don't know where our audiences have given better attention. or keener interest, or have displayed more intelligent apprecia tion."

The Rockvllle chautauqua lasts two weeks. As an antidote for the other fifty_ weeks of fast and riotous living

The one prevailing sentiment of the party was, "fingers were made before forks."

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY.

Beport Bares Manipulation of Boad's Stock With Aggregate Losses of Millions of Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—With the publication today of the interstate commerce commission's report on the financial affairs of the Rock Island railroad disclosing losses in stook transactions totalling many millions of dollars and enormous profits to- promoters of holding companies, the commission's investigation began almost a year and one-half ago was brought to a close.

The commission charges the Rock Island's directors with misrepresentation of assets in their reports to stockholders, a practice which It severely condemns, and suggests that those guilty of such acts "should be subject to adequate penalties."

The report is now being considered by department of Justice officials. The commission sharply criticizes the alleged improper stock transactions by the Rock Island officials, the record of which, it says, emphasises the need of railway directors who actually direol. "There are too many passive direc tors," the commission says, "who acquiesce in what is being done without knowledge and without investigation.'

The inquiry, the commission says, has demonstrated the need of legal limitation of railroad security issues and has emphasized the necessity of a law to fix responsibility for the dissipation of corporate funds.

Losses Total Millions.

The aggregate losses of the Rock Island, the Alton, 'Frisco and other deals are summarled by.the commis sion as follows: "Frisco deal, approximately, $6,500,000 Alton deal, approximately, $6,370,006 Trinity and Brazos Valley railway deal, more than $4,BOO,000 Con solidated Indiana and Dering Coal companies, at least $1,300,000, and $2,500,000 addition if advances made to the coal companies can not be collected contributions or gratuities to officers and directors, about $1,000,000 expenses of maintaining and housing holding companies, more than $29,000 transaction of C. H. Venner, a stockholder, $217,000 miscellaneous and unexplained expenditures, $72,523. These Items show an aggregate loss to the railway company of more than $20,000,-

"In addition thereto, it is to bfe noted that prior to June 30, 1914, the railway company paid to financial institutions, in connection with the issuance of. bonds, commission' aggregating more than $1,600,000, and suffered discounts of more than $17,700,000.'*

After pointing to th.e fact that In 1902 the Rock Island was thriving, its prospects promising, Its stock selling in the world markets at more than $200 a share, the report says that In 1914 the shares had fallen to $20 and that the road is now/in
