The decision of the United States Supremo court declaring that the company, through which two great railroads wanted to form a merger, is unlawful, shows that the government has some over trusts if it will only ex- it.

Some public seem to prefer sensational statements to truthful ones, Now it is Mrs. at a meeting of the Progressive Health Club of Chicago who declared that heart of the woman of wealth generally is more responsive to the whine of a dog than to the appeal of a girl who is homeless and This is a vapid slander upon rich women. While there are a few of whom the statement of Mrs. might be true, her sweeping statement is absurd. If she would learn the benefactions of rich men, she would find that most of them do a thousand good deeds that help girls who are in need. There isn't much difference between rich women and poor near- all women are kind-hearted and love to listen to the of a girl who is homeless and The Chicago lecturer was speaking of the News Observer.

Volunteers were called for to save the doomed ship. Quite a number at once responded but Turner was the first to vessel. Clamoring over her he saw at a glance tint the sputtering flame was within a few inches of the explosive, and realizing that an awkward step might throw some of the , powder into the flame he carefully stepped over the rim of the powder circle and clasped the burning string with both hands, walked to the edge of the boat and threw it overboard. An instant more and the daring little sea rover that had run so many perilous voyages to bring tho balm of relief to the wounded, suffering soldiery of North Carolina would have blown to atoms. And Taylor Harris at the risk of his life saved the ship. A soldier's duty it is true, and yet the discharge of that duty so nobly and faithfully per- formed is that which draws in us admiration for such deeds. For to him of the Southern arms promised no alluring reward, nor defeat its stinging terrors.

There is a man in this here town, and he is wondrous wise, for when he marked his prices down he then did advertise. And when be saw his trade increase, will all his might, ho marked still lower every price, and advertised again. And when he advertised again, his rivals stamped and swore, to see folks rush with might and main, to his store. And while they sat in solitude, and saw him custom win, that man behind the counter stood and raked the shekels And when he raked tho shekels in and saw his fortune rising, he took a goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising, Each day a generous sum he'd sink, and demonstrate full plain, the more one pays for print- ink tho greater is his gain.
