When the trust germ Is as thick in the
New Jersey atmosphere as the autumn
! leaves In the vale OF Ndllombrosa IL would.
OF course, be unreasonable to expect an
| enterprising town like Nineand to prove
immune and escape contamination. II has
! not. Nineland, consisting largely OF glass
plants that planted so deeply the cash OF
| credulous capitalists that 1t has never been
able to sprout a dividend, does not possess
an abundance of those slnows which even
| the benevolent trust would feel hopeful OF
| expanding into gigantic enterprises with
billions in thom. But in the unfortunate
absence OF more substantial assets that en-
terprising village has a surplus of brains
and for lack Of some enemy more worthy OF
its sting the insidious trust germ attacked
these with zeal that would have done honor
TO n better cause. The result was the for
nation OF doctors trust having FOR its
object the detection Of every rascal whose
estate was insufficient to satisfy the dam
ages after the funeral and incidentally,
the regulation of the output OF pills to those
who could pay according to scale COM
mensurate with the financial needs of the
profession.
For whole month this benign institution
worked entirely to the satisfaction of the
strongest patient holders, but then strange
thing happened. Notwithstanding the we'll
known fact of the more than brotherly love
every physician cherishes for all others OF
the same profession, the gRngrene of
jealousy invaded the ranks of the minority
patient holders and like worm in the bud
preyed upon the damask OF their cheeks
until conscience born of a light purse
would no longer permit them TO hold their
peace. Then they arose and spoke elo-
quently Of the moral and other ruins that
mighty oath they swore that no more
should the deliberations of the unholy thing
be weighted down by their presence. But
to make matters worse several would-b be
patients whose tax receipts were found to
be unsatisfactory also arose and, repairing
to the nearest attorney, sought balm for
the hurt that blacklisted honor feels by
decorating the court dockets with enough
damage suits against the refractory ply
sicians to bankrupt the town If collected.
CONSERVATION prevails in the camp OF Es>
culapius and the chief priests of the lancet
and the scrbes of the prescription held
meeting in the inner temple of the high
priest, who was also the promoter, at which
the dangerous possibilities of the trust germ
to their profession were discussed with
bated breath At it's conclusion it was an
nounced that the pulse of the octopus had
ceased to beat, and then tearfully they
withdrew but so also did not the plain
tifrs in the damage suits, and the world will
watch the outcome with more than ordi-
nary interest.

A tombstone is supposed to be very

very queer, If not ludicrous, sentiments are
sometimes found engraved upon them Over

Those papers and people who have
been using 80 much space and spending
80 much time in warning the people OF
the awful calamity that would befall
them II socialism ever came to be a sys-
tenn OF government in this country, must
have had several kinds Of cOnvUlsions
when they read that the Kansas Munich
pal League, which was In session at Fort
Scott last week, adopted resolution IA
voring the condemnation Of water and
light plants, no matter whether the time
Of the franchise had expired or not,
when a. city wishes to become the owner
Of IT'S own light and water system" 1t
should be borne In mind that the Kansas
Municipal League Is composed Of the
mayors, councilmen, and other officers
Of the leading cities of Kansas-men who
have had the best possible opportunity
to become acquainted with the workings
Of the private corporations; and 1t Is an
encouraging sign to learn that experience
leads them to endorse municipal social
ism. These men have taken g. decided
step forward, and such movements have
a telling effect In paving the way for
State ownership of public utilities, and
from that to a demand for the national
ization Of the larger mOnOpolies.

Of body and depth Of shoulder suggest
rather the Incidence Of the COW than the
alertness and activity we associate with
a member of the antelope tribe. With
its strong spirally-twisted horns and
great weight--a bull may scale 1900
pounds or more--it might be supposed
that the eland was formidable foe
when flight was impossible. The con-
trary is the case. A friend, who has

Clay Center Dispatch.
James FlorellO, an organ-grinding son
of Italy was arrested one day this week
on the streets Of our national capital and
yanked before the police court on the
charge OF allowing his trained monkey to
walk barefooted on the wet sidewalk. It
was alleged by an agent Of the Humane
society who made the charge that walk
ing on the cold, wet stones with unpro-
tected pedal extremeties might cause the
animal to contract consumption and die.
It is a blessed good thing that his honor,
evidently O. far-seeing man, decided
against the Humane society's man. Had
the decision been otherwise some crank

sitlon that the children Of men were as
