After the Sugar Trusts

Boston. Mass, Sept 29.-The Adj
vertiser says: American sugar re-
filming Company, otherwise trust, has
been fisgrantly violating the federal
a nti-trust law in its dealings with M.
P. LoDgley, Lynn grocer, who
does two hundred thousand dol
lars worth OF business every
year and whose business integ-
rity and credit is unequalled.
The sugar trust has boycotted Mr..
Longley, so that for days at time he
has beeen unable to supply his

men do not look for the slightest effort
to preserve the association, which is

done to create q new organization the

western roads reflect by the shrinagge
of united action, so long as the pr es-
ent large volume of bushes
lasts. The Western Traffic As
ISOLATION may not cause serious
trouble, but with all roads free of OBJ
legations to the central authority, 1t

People W no Mever SO to Bed.

once declared that lie had not
been'i bed for thirteen years; he
took his rest in doorways and
passages. This is MOI bad rec
ord but many of tAe homeless
class could probably beat it. Ger
tainly there are thausands-not
only in England, but all over the
weFld-to whome such a luxury
as a bed is, unkn0#n; unfortun.
ases obliged to lay their heads in
the oddiest places imaginable, to.
prevent their being rudaly awak..

A sad ne'er.do.well told the.
writer that this was his principal
thought for more days than he
could count. Where should he.
sleep that night? And he had a
theory that but for having this
object constantly in view as he
tramped over the monotonous
Davements of London he must
have lost his reason. He laughed
himself in after days when he
thought of some of his expert
ences at "dOssing out"
Even he, however, never slept
in stream, which was what some
thirty persons of both sexes did
at Buda Pesth a few years back.
The water, which was warm, flow.

Even people with homes could
tell some strange stories on this
head. Of course, in some coun,
tries beds are unknown. The
Japanese, for example, sleep on
the floor, muffied in a great wadd.
ed coat, and with block of wood
for pillow. But. combining our.
selves to England, just talk to
the jewellers in the slums on this
subject. Why, going to bed there
during the summer months is pos.
itively, inviting torture. Many
places swarm with vermin, and
consequently those who live in
them find it more comfortable to
sleep anywhere rather than in the
proper place-even on the door,
step.
The manager of an isle of Man
hotel remarked few months ago
that "visitors" never went to bed.
His servants are often asked to
provide breakfast at 3 or 4 a. m.
Certainly the streets of Douglas
are pretty lively any time during
the season.

with exemplary patience for about
five hours, and then, dressing
himself, he went out and mildly
expostulated, saying he wanted
some sleep.

blowing a terrific blast on a toy
trumpet, "then what did you come

They say at Blackpool, too, that
if you arrive at any hour of the
