hear. Perhaps this machine may
be used on trust organizers who
appear to be deaf to the howls

would 60 to the penitentiary on a
short term and be shaved by the
prison barber, he would be sur
prised at the number of choice
and original cuss words this oper-
alton can produce.
A prisoner in one of the New
York prisons received a letter
from Gen. Eagan, of ''Beef Fame"
He told the general to please dis
continue writing to him as he was
trying to reform.
Our friend "Apostle Joe," the
assistant librarian, has been living
on anticipations lately. He says
that prison life is as uninteresting
to him as the stars are to monkeys.

If public opinion can avail In such a
contest as the present one the Seaboard
will win. The people of the Southeastern
States know that railroad competition is
good for them. and that there is enough
business in their section TO maintain seye-
raj great trunk lines. Therefore they
have welcomed the Seaboard and will
resent as an attack upon their interests
any arbitrary action by the courts in re-
straint OF that free competition which
they desire and have a right to expect
Columbia Is c. state.
Correct. But il will be observed that
up to date the courts have not given the
