and no one accuses him of being
a fool, or else he is ia league with
the trust magnates to fool the peo
ple anent the recent so-called anti
trust legislation.
The inside history of the tele-
grams sent to the repabiican Sena
ton by trast magnates, peremptori
ly ofderiag them to stop all anti
trust legislation, shows a queer
coaditioa of affairs ia the higher
coaacda of the repubiicaa party.
When the republican leaders found
that the democrats looked with dis
uiao npoa the so-called aati-trust
legislation that the repabiican lead
ere aad the trast stagnates have
concoct d. aad would aot say a
word against it, they feared the re
s>ilt of this sdeace on the minds of
the voters. Something had to be
done to make it appear that the
trusts were being curbed, and the
job was pat ap that Rock feller

anti trast legislation, aad oae of
these telegrams wss shown to the

immcjftitcly M was aaaoeaced by
the administratioa press that here
was evideace of the trust - bust

As I said in m former letter, the
trusts now are jubilant became they
a( the IcpbliM so far as trust
curbing is concerned. The people
will have aa opportunity to witness
the irorfcag ot the anti-trust legis
lation esae'ed at this session by
the nyUitw bef.re the election
in 1904, and if they like that kind
of aati-trust legislation thee they
will vole to retain the republican
party to power aad continue to pay
tribute to the trust*.

At a Maine educational conven

present professor of English litera
ture in the llniveraitv of Chicago,
waa down for an address. As he
was about to speak Hon. W. W.
Stetson, state superintendent of
schools, said to him:
"Dortor, is your address like a
cat's tail?"
"How is that V asked Dr. Butler.
"Why, fur to the end," replied
Mr. StetloL.
Dr. Butler smiled appreciatively,
bat kept silence. I(e opened his «3-

Weighing a IVfmiw.
An Italian phvsicist, Signor Sal
vioni, has devised a micro balance of
sncfa extreme delicacy that it clearly
demonstrates the loss of weight of
mask by volatilisation. Thus the
invisible perfume floating off in the
air is indirectly weighed. The es
sential part of the apparatus is a
very thin thread of glass, fixed aft
one end and extended horizontally.
The microacopic objects to be
neighed are placed upon the gtaaa
thread near its free end, and the
amount of flexure produced is ob-
Wrved with a microscope magnify
ing 100 diameters. A mote weigh
ing one-thousandth of a milligram
perceptibly bends the thread.

The cabmen of tifiimilk, Ind.,
recently formed i combine and ad
vanced their pricea (or taking a
couple to the theater from $1 to $2.
Thia led to the formation of a "gum

ety girls, who Talked rather than
paj the price demanded. The busi
neaa of the cabmen fell off, and they
bad to go back to the old pricea.
The girk are now rejoicing over
their victory, to which they were
helped by the support of the travel
ing men, who were affected by a cor
responding increase of other ratee
and had arranged to ask the city
council to paaa an ordinance estab
lishing a uniform price for cabs.

And here are some fine old Bibles.
This one is a family Bible that be
