ALL HAD MoTHERs-IN-LAw

asked Eben Appledry. to whom Jay was
relating his adventures.
"That was what everybody that ran
up wanted to know. The dentist ex-
planned that after he had filled the pa

put in the time while it was settin' in
experimentin' with set O. false teeth

been sent him for examination. He
went on to say that he had hit 'em with
hammer to test their strength an they
had exploded like dynamite.
when the dentist had got this far
along in his explanation the patient
managed to spit out enough of the ce-
ment to enable him to ask if teeth made
of that material wouldn't be liable to
explode an blow their wearer's head off
if they We're bitten down hard on a

All His Solicitude for His Wheel

Walter Burtell, IA years old, while rid
ing his wheel one night last week, turned
into side street to avoid approaching
fire engines. Harry Tag, driving heavy
truck, also tried to get out of the way
of the engines, and in his hurry ran over
Burtell.
The lad was knocked from his ma
chine and his leg was broken. His wheel
was wrecked He was taken to hospi-
tai and Tag was locked up in a police
station.
Although suffering intense pain, Bur-
tell insisted that he was not hurt. He
inquired repeatedly for the bicycle.

cause had to save up to buy it," he ex-
claimed. The byStanders told him his

relieved and was very brave on his way

Itwas thick air that hung about the
spice stalls The smell of cloves and san
dal-wood breathed over Batavia like a
sweetened cloud, and the searching,
pungent reek of bruised pepper that
hung round the inner shops was almost
painful. Moreover the Javanese is the
craftiest fisher round the rim of the seas
and glorious are the hauls he brings
ashore from the bays and rivers that
slice Java to north and south. But he
does not approve of fresh fish, preferrine
to smoke his prey in greenwood smoke.
His crowning delight IS the fermenting
of a seething mass of fish-fry and
prawns in the sun, stewed by natural
heat to a noisome mass that gladdens
the heart of Malays
Away beyond the low houses could
see the long ridge of mountains that is
the ragged backbone of Java. Some Of
them are volcanoes, extinct long aeons

he carried saleable leopard skins and III
his eye an open scorn for the feebler men
around. This is the way of all mountain
men, even nearer home than Java.
By and by, in the hush of the glaring
noon, there sounded an angry scream
up the street; three seconds later yell
of pain and the sobbing cry of a man cut
deep through his lungs. 1t touched off
the whole teeming populace like IA

THE TRUST QUESTION
is THE MOST IMPORTANT OF
THE DAY
John Sherman Gives His Views on
the Political 0utlook-He Is
No Prophet

NEW YORK. June 27.-Secretary Of
State John Sherman, who arrived in
New York last might is quoted in an In
terview in this mornings World as say
ing:
1.-The matter of trusts is altogether
the most important question Of the day.
"A combination Of persons engaged in
q common business would seem ON its
face to be fair enough matter, but in
reality such combinations prevent
healthful competition and control the
output and prices.
1.-The present national trust law (the
Sherman law) Is not strong enough.
framed 1t myself and the senate commit
tee on judiciary made changes in 1t
which materially weakened Its effect. I
favor making unlawful in the most d.
rect manner all combinations in re-
straint OF trade. They put all industries
in the hands Of a few men. The people
have a right to open competition In all
industries and trades.
Restraints Of trusts can bo made ef-
fective when we can get the proper kind
Of law. The supreme court has upheld
the present trust law. but has pointed
out its defects. think that these de-
fects can and will be remedied.
The trust people say the effect OF
their combinations ~ to- loWer. prtGea oil
the output and put up prices must nat
urally come with the control of any I'M
portant industry or trade. When a man
makes his money on fair basis Of trade
no man envies him. or has right to.
When he makes a fortune with the
trusts which shut out competition or
restrain trade he is denounced, and this
has been done by all peoples and at all
times. 1t is unfair competition and un-
fair combination that have reused up
this cry against trusts.
"The currency question cannot be de-
cided at this session Of congress. Nobody
| Is ready to decide 1t. The eastern states
are pretty thoroughly in favor of the
gold standard. The south seems to be
slowly coming around to the same view.
But the western states, which are heav-
lily In debt, want a cheaper currency
and of course are advocating silver.
Whether it will be settled in time to take
it out Of the way as an issue for the next
presidential campaign, I cannot tell
am no prophet"
