more skin was still necessary to complete
the job and instructed him to wait at the
hotel for a third summons.
This one came Wednesday and Russell
found when he reached the hospital that
this time he was to get a patch from a
sailor who had been severely burned.
This patch completed the job, and his
long-suffering leg which now had assum-
ed the similitude of a Jacobs coat was
put up in a plaster cast and he went
back to the hotel to wait for the patches

the reporter of Mr.. Russell. whom he
found rocking himself complacently to

Fine, fine. Why. my boy. I feel like a
new man throughout and the combina-
ton OF nationalities doesn't bother me a
bit. But I'll tell you it does look aWfully
~funny-the colors are SO striking and the
black patch looms up like a great blotch

scene of saudy luxury spread about him.

here presides, the god of love has turned
cynic. The arrows of the decadent
deity are poisoned, dipped in the venom
of ignoble passions.
A talent for mockery in witty cpl
grams, a polished, sneering sarcasm at
purity as the mask of hypocrisy, are
here cultivated as the high virtues.
Under the eye of the bronze cupid two
women are seated on a divan Their
bare shoulders CLEAN in the light of the
chandelier above. 1t Is evening. The

the wheat market not been cornered.
Mr.. Armour declares that there is no
beef trust and that the price OF beer has
advanced simply because of a short sup
ply Of cattle. In a statement, issued by
him through an agent, he said that it
would be impossible for Armour & Co.
and the great western packers to hold
back the shipments of cattle and so create
an artificial scarcity.
1t is not necessary that Armour & Co.
and the other big packers should own
cattle on the plains in order to control
their shipments to the great cattle GEN.
ters. They can manipulate the market
without that. Their buyers can offer such
low prices that the breeders will refuse
to sell. 1t is we'll known that the scarcity
of cattle is largely due to the fact that
buyers have not dealt fairly with the
breeders, but have discouraged them and
have made them abandon cattle rails
ing.
TIL buyers took particular pains to in
form every cattle raiser of the high prices
prevailing and induced them to ship. AS
soon as the stock began to arrive in large
numbers the packers who formed the beef
trust forced the prices down. Then the
cattle raiser found himself forced to sell
at a figure he would never have shipped
for.
The wide exposure of the beef trusl
has made the monopolists weaken. There
has been a drop of a cent or two during
the last two weeks. For the increase in
the price of oil for the Standard Oil trust
there is nc excuse. They want a prof.
of $50 a barrel, thereby adding at leas,
$50. COO. 900 to their annual gain.
AS for the leather trust, which has a
capital of $l20,0 900, 900, their excuse fol
raising prices is that the business has

1t is a fair general statement that
everybody has to have beef. The beef
trust has raised the price of such pieces
as consumers buy from 8 to 10 cents a
pound-and more.
1t is a fair general statement that
every family has to have kerosene oil.
The Standard Oil trust has raised the
price of oil from Z to 10 cents per gallon.
1t is a fair general statement that
everybody has to have boots or SHOES.
The leather trust has raised the price 10
such a high figure that manufacturers of
boots and shoes have notified the retail
dealers that in the fall they Will have to
pay such prices for stock as Will make 1t

lowest average, 81 a pair more for boots

These are four of the alleged illegal
trusts created for the sole purpose of
squeezing money out of the people and
emptying it into the pockets of the
monopolies.

illustration. to show how outrageous the
operations of these trusts are. and how
enormous their profits must be. If such
