THE statement comes from Chicago that
the managers of the Gas Trust of that city
took occasion of an advance in the shares of
their concern TO sell short with the intention
of making profit on the decline which they
expected 20 manipulate in the near future.
The shares continued to advance, and they
continued to sell short until they woke up to
the fact that the Standard OIL Trust had COB
bled their concern and cornered them in the
bargain. This is as pleasant an illustration of
the old adage OF dog eat dog" as has been
furnished In modern times

a frontiersman, known over hundreds
of square miles Of mountain and val

camp meetings. One night. it is told,
four Mexican miners in his saloon
tried to rob the old man. The door
was shut, but he threw the foremost
Mexican through the panels into the
road, and then, putting his arms
about the three Others, showed them
en- masse through the splinters and
fragments of the broken door. zone
or two of them Mexicans struck their
knives into me-" said Uncle Billy
afterward, "but never showed l was
hurt, and after they were throwed
out they crawled away" In fact,
one knife thrust went straight
through his arm; but, on the other
hand, he crippled most of the Mexi-
cans for life.

Falling in Love,

"Falling in love, as modern BIZ
ology teaches us to believe, is moth
ing more than the latest, highest,
and most involved exenplificauion
in the human race of that almost
universal selective process which Mr..
Darwin has enabled US to recognize
throughout the whole long series of
the animal kingdom. The butterfly
that circles and eddies in his
aerial dance around his observant
mate is endeavoring to charm her
by the delicacy of his covering and
to overcome her coyness by the dis
play of his skill. The peacock that
struts about in imperial pride, un-
der the eye of his attentive hens, is
really contributing to the future
beauty and strength of his race by
collecting to himself a harem,
through whom he hands down to
posterity the valuable qualities
which have gained the admiration of
his mates in his own person.
Mr.. Wallace has shown that to be
beautiful is to be efficient; and sexu-
al selection is thus as it were, mere
lateral form of natural selection-a
survival of the fittest in the guise of
mutual attractiveness and mutual
adaptability, producing on the aver
age a maximum of the best proper
ties of the race in the resulting off
spring. I must not dwell here upon
this aspect of the case, because it is
one with which, since the publication
of the Decent Man," all the world
has been sufficiently familiar.
