Sheridan Knowles's Memory.

AS Sheridan Knowles, the drama.
list, was walking down the strand one
day with a friend, he stopped to greet
gentleman, who, however, received
aim very coldly.
"Do you know" said he to
Knowles, that you owe me an apol
ogy?"
"An apology! What for?" asked
the dramatist.
"For not keeping that dinner en-
gagement you had with me last Thurs
day. had a number of people to
meet you, and you never came or even
sent an explanation of your absence.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" exclaimed
Knowles. "I've such memory that
{ forgot all about the affair; forgive
me, and invite me to another dinner.
1t was then arranged that he should
line with the gentleman on the fol-
lowing Wednesday, and, in order that
che engagement might not again be
forgotten, he then and there recorded
1t in his dairy. On rejoining his friend
ne told him the story of his lapse of
memory.
"Who is the gentleman?" asked
The friend
"Well, I'm blest," cried Sheridan
Knowles, 81 have forgotten his name"
''That's funny" said the friend;
''but you can easily find out by refer
cing to the Directory. You know his
address, of course" .
"No-not even that!" roared the
unhappy dramatist. .-Waverley Maga-

The olives Power OF adaptation.

The olive has an almost human gift

as at its 4000-feet level in Algeria and

lime and potash, as are all the virgin
lands of the coast. 1t also does well
where its roots can penetrate easily

formation, seeming to prefer an arid
mountain soil, but not disdaining life
in the black adobe near the coast.

When Wellington Gave n Party.

One day, when some small visitors
happened to be in the nursery at
Strathfeldsage, the Duke of yelling
ton walked up to the top of the house
and found the youngsters at tea. He
gazed grimly around, as if the room
were field of battle, and noticed that
there was no jam on the table.
Without a word he rang the bell
violently. A footman appeared and
stood petrified.
''Have the goodness to under
stand" said the Duke, in voice of
thunder, "that when children are in
vited to my house to tea they are to
have jam!"
Then he departed, and before he
was out of earshot shout went up
that must have reminded him of
Waterloo.

BUT YOU WON'T DO 1T.

We clip the following from one issue OF the
Lawrence World. It is likely that Editor
Brady would really like to see his party take ,
thing, but he is sure to be disappointed in thai
and he will quietly acquiesce in whatever his
party bosses do or say But here are the items
referred to:
The legal department of the state govern
ment ought to commence warfare on the trusts
The people are demanding action, and we have
law on the statute books. 1t ought 20 be en-
forced. Mr.. GODDARD, it is up to you.
The trusts continue to close down tn .ir plants
and throw men out of employment. The Re-
publicans have congress. They have chance
to legislate against trusts before the next CAM
paign. If they fail to do it, goodbye old PAT
ty; good by. However, they will not give the
people chance to sing that song.
The wire trust is Haunting in the face of the
people that bale-tes manufactured are cheaper
than the price of the wire with which they are
made. This is rank deception. The price
is higher, it is true, but it was made higher in
order to crush out the smaller plants that were
making bale-ties We must legislate against
trusts, as these object lessons make important
arguments on the subjects.
The trusts are complacently watching public
events, and are going on their way gathering in
all sorts of business. There is only one way to
fight trusts, and that is to fight them in the
courts. So long as it is all talk and no action,
the trusts will 60 unchecked. We have state
law and it is the duty of the attorney-general
to go after these unlawful combinations Of cap
ital. The law was made to be enforced and if
these are involved in litigation, they will be less
bold. Prosecute the trusts, Mr.. GODDARD.
AS BRADY says, we have a law on our statute
books. Why not try to enforce that before
making any new laws? Congress also passed
an antitrust. law. Why not enforce that?
Your party doesn't dare do it, Brady. 80.
