The law is more sweeping than that
of Texas. 1t forfeits the charters of
all corporations of the state that join

or to control the market price of the
same, or to prevent competition. 1t
prohibits the corporations of other
states which come within these cate.
gories from doing business In the

a trust a right of action against the
offender for double the amount OF

Wild Origin Crops Ont.

All the domestic animals Of to-day
once in awhile show traits which be-
longed to their ancestors in their wild
traits. The speed and endurance Of
horses was developed in the first place
% they could escape from their enc
mics, the wolves, which for genera
tons prosecuted the herds Of wild ami
mails. The docile temper OF horses is
due TO the fact that in their wild state
they lived in obedience to one animal,
which acted as a commander and was
faithfully obeyed.
The habit Of shying which horses
have was often the salvation of wild
steed when passing the ambush Of
some enemy. Back-jumping is relic
of means Of defense against enemies
Of the leopard kind, which sprang upon
the backs of their prey. The buck
jumping horse puts his head out Of
reach between his forelegs and at the
same time arches his back and gives q

panther to stick on.

There was no light in the Mulcahy

meant that Mr.. Mulcahy had arrived
Mrs. Mulcahy went to the top of the
stairs and listened. A shambling foot
fall from the hall below was carried
to her ears.

had concluded from the sounds that
Mr.. Mulcahy had dallied long with the

She hastily went back into her room

Mulcahy stumbled into the chamber.
He leaned against the washstand to
take off his shoes. In the Pickering
ray OF the electric light that shone
through the window Mrs. Mulcahy
saw her worse seven-eighths stagger
as though about to fall, but he caught
the door jamb in time. Mrs. AIulcahy
watched him from between half-ciosed
eyelids. He had succeeded in getting
of both shoes. Then he peeled his
coat and without going to further
trouble he threw himself on the bed
Mrs. Mulcahy waited. She didn't
make sound. By and by the heavy
breathing of Mr.. Mulcahy told hel
that he was in deep sleep. That was
Mrs. Mulcahy's clew to act. She rose
quietly and stealthily crept to the bu
reau. From lower drawer she took
out clean sheet. This she threw
over Mr.. Mulcahy, with care that the
edges Of the sheet upon which he re-
posed and the edges of the one she
threw over him met. Then she tip
toed over to the stand by the window
and returned with needle in hel
hand, threaded with long string OF
tough linen thread.
Without sound she sat down on
the edge of the bed and began hel

Vrestled With the Garbage Problem. Last
Night,
Last evening the Council Committee
on Health, the City Solicitor and repre-
sentatives of the United States Fertiliz-
ing Company, which has erected the
new reduction plant on the city COM
mon, assembled at the city hall and dis
cussed the general situation, with the
final result that the whole matter was
laid aside until Friday night.
The company represented that, while
its plant was not quiet completed, it
was reducing a considerable amount of
garbage, etc., but had been delayed un-
avoidably, by the impossibility of OBJ
tanning certain pieces Of machinery in
the present crowded state OF the iron
and steel trade. and asked for more
time. 1t was finally agreed that the
city would not yet formally recognize
the new plant, in order that the con-
tract with the Natural Gas Company
of West Virginia for a crematory might
hold good, but would furnish a small
amount of garbage, ETC., to the United
States Company for experimental pur-
poses, and await developments.
Bills to the amount of S57.95 were
recommended.

was almost an impossibility to CLEAN
any reliable information on the sub
iect last night. One of the men who
is in a position to know finally stated
that the wage question had been ami
cably settled, the company granting
an increase of 10 per cent. This state
ment could lot be verified, but coming
from the source it did, it is more than
probable that it is correct.
