March 25, 1889.-3m. Hill TT HI Bill Arp Writes About Trusts. Wilson Advance. "For heaven's sake, don't let us make any such blunder. It will oe as much ol a trust as will Mud anywhere." you That is what a delegate said when the Alliance fixed the price ot'eotten at 12 cents a pound. But he was alone. Nobody backed him; nobody said amen. Every man is for himself and the devil take the hindmost. ' Hu man nature is the same everv- where, aud some kind of trusts' will be formed by every trade and profession, if it can be done. A trust is generally the reaction of hard competition. It is a business COinff from one. PYtrfimw tn n.nnfli.i er. I remember traveling: from New York to Aloaay on a splen oma steamboat, and we were car ried for nothing, and had a fine dinner thrown in. An Irishman- remarked, "And faith, we can travel cheaper than we can shtay at home, aud we can do it in less time." I came back in a few days, and had to pay more than full fare, for the com peting lines had formed a .trust, ' and they soon made up what theyj had lost. When I was a merchan t I had a competitor who was smart and not overscrupulous, and he ran me pretty hard, and. we cut prices low down aud made ' no money for several mouths, but in course of time we met in New j York at the hotel aud made friends, and bought our goods to gether and formed a trust and marked up our goods and stuck to, it, and we gave our . customers 1 "hail Columbia" and made money and recovered what we had lost. The lawyers have a fee bill a ! trust and so have the doctors. The lawyer charges losing your case aud so much so much for for ; gaining it. The doctor won't even graduate his fees, but gets the same whether he kills or cures'. Old Dr. Letsem wrote an epigram upon himself that illus trates ''When folks are ill they comes to I. I physics, bleeds and sweats 'em. Sometimes they live sometimes they die What's that to me I Letsem." The masous, carpenters, molders, printers and nearly all the trades iuuii iiaw uusis. Aiiey uave rueir lates and rules, and if a fellow j don't join and conform they him a scab. "Rowland," said I, "are you ing to hold your cotton for call go- cents a pound 1" "What for?" said he. "Why, I see that the Alliance has passed such a said I. resolution,", "Well, I don't know nothing about it,77t said lie, "and I don't care. My note is out for guano and supplies,, and I m gwine to sell my cotton in time to meet mv notes. That's what I promised ' to do, and I'm gwine to do it." "Rowland," said I, "you are a scab." ; Most every profession has got mP snrl-. OT H. truss fc nv dnmhuia. some sort ot a trust or combina tion to prevent a ruinous compe tition. I reckon the preachers would have one if their preacuing was uniform more oja whatness but it is so variegated they can't price it, and so the poor fellows have to take what they can get. Can't be 'Got Away With." Raleigh Can. A California editor does not propose to let a iNorth Carojina editor or any other editor get away with him on startling records and puts up the following for some- bodv to flown- "a hir o-ri.ziTr Dear started to walk around a " .. c J pine tree and caught up with his own hind-quarters. Thinking they belonged to another bear, he opened war on his own rear with tooth and toe-nail. When he felt himself clawing himself, ho thought, of course, that it was the other bear, aud clawed the harder. He never, discovered his mistake until he had swallowed himself clear down to his ears, and then it was too late to retreat." DUTY TO YOURSELF.

"Probably not one person in a thousand know why leaves change their color in the fall," remarked an eminent botanist the other day. "The common aud old-fashioned idea is that all this red and golden glory wo see now is caused by frosts. A true aud scientific explanation of the cases of the coloring of leaves would necessi tate a long and intricate discus sion. Stated briefiy and in tho proper language, those causes are these: The green matter iu the tissue of a leaf is composed of two colors, red and blue. Wheu the sap ceases to flow iu tho autumn, and tho natural growth of the tree ceases, oxidation of the tissues takes place. Uudcr certain con ditions the green of the leaf changes to red; under different conditions it takes on a j-ellow or brown tint. This difference iu color is due to the original con stituents of the green tissue, and to tho varying conditions of cli mate, exposure and soil. A dry, cold climate produces more bril liant foliage than one that is damp and warm. This is the reason that American autumns are so much more gorgeous than those of Scotland and England. There are several thiugs about leaves that even science cannot explain. For instance, why one or two trees growing side by side of the same ago and having the same ex posure, should take ou a brilliant red iu tho fall, and the other turn yellow, or why one branch of a tree should be highly colored and the rest of the tree have only a yellow tint, are questions that are as impossible to answer as why one member of the family should bo perfectly healthy and another sickly. Map'es and oaks have brightest colors." lie Kode in Style. New York Star. Rail rui bor to the fair of the Live Stock Association at Huntington. The fair opened on Tuesday. Owing to the heavy rainstorm, however, tho special train was poorly pat ronized and it blowing a burrtcai e the next day the railroad officials naturally supposed that there the depot at the advertised time for the train to start, bought a ticket for Huntington and took his scat in a car. lie was tho only passenger. The conductor remonstrated with Mr. Thurber, but the gentleman announced his unalterable intention of poing to Huntington ou that train, aud he did'nt care whether ho had any company or not. No possengeis appeared at Babylon, aud agaiu the conductor appealed to Mr. Thurber to take back his ninety five jeuts and allow the "special" to go back. Mr. Thurber insisted upon the company's keeping its implied contracr, ami tne corpora tion crave in. the result being that he was the sole passenger of the special from Bay bhore to lluut-. iugtou. A railroad ollicial is re j ported to have remarked, in refer ence to the matter, that the soli tary passenger found fault with the company for not putting on a parlor car, a sleeper and a dining cd'ich. but the rumor is not gcuer- ally credited.
