Really Funny practical JoLe.

An enterprising Philadelphia restau-
rant proprietor hung out large black
board sign the other day, with the fol-
lowing announcement: "You can't
beat our 15-cent dinners" The sign
proved to be good drawing card until
a young man of humorous turn Of
mind came along. The latter, seeing
the sign, stopped, and, after scrutiniz-
ing it closely, smiled one of those smiles
which bode no one any good. He waited
until none of the employees were watch
ing, and, taking out his handkerchief,
he erased the letter "b" from the word
beat" The Transformation was com
plete, and it was not until crowd had
collected that the proprietor of the
restaurant discovered why there was q
larger crowd outside than inside.

Of the rope our leader took n blank
book out of his pocket and addressed
the prisoner.
what's your name?' says he. 4
don't mean the name you go by out
here, but your real name; the one they
know you by Mt home?'
"The prisoner gave his name as re-
quested and il was not the same by
which he was known in the west.
New your address, continued the
leader, after writing down the name,
The man begged and pleaded to be
let go, malsirg all sorts Of promises,
the leader in the meantime writing
down AL the facts he wanted for his
final report
Drive on he said, briefly, to the
man at the lines, and the horse thief
was swung from the wagon seat and
held up by the rope around his neck.
Then the wagon was driven around
and the second man was put in, and
when he was under the limb and the
rope fixed, the leader took out has book
and pencil and asked him the usual
questions, winding up with: Now what
have you got to say?'
she told such pitiful story of wife
and children and temptation and bad
company that the crowd began to
weaken. The leader closed his note
book with snap. Drive on he COM
manded, and the next instant the pris-
oner was swinging and the wagon
moved around for its third and last
load.
This chap was an ugly, little sawed
off cuss, with face like iron, and he
had watched the entire proceedings
without turning hair. He stepped to
his place and took his seat like a SOL
der facing fort, although his arms
and legs were tied and he could not
move with much grace. The leader, as
we'll as the rest of us, was more or less
moved with admiration for his nerve,
and when the old man took out his
notebook and pencil he was quite pleas
ant in his manner.
well, Shorty he said, addressing
him Familiarity, what have you got to
say?'
Drive on said the prisoner as
calmly as If he had charge of the tuner
al, and the effect was so startling that
the whole crowd broke into applause
and asked for stay of proceedings. It
was a case of good hard nerve winning
against big odds, and the prisoner was
told he might have q chance for his
life. He didn't break down, then,
either, but said he would do nothing
or say nothing until we had released
him from the ropes around his arms
and legs, and we soon had him loose.
Then he told us that If we would let
him have any old plug OF horse and
ten hours start he wouldn't ask odds
of anybody. He got the horse and he
got the start, and he got out of the
country quick, and we never heard OF
him again, but have always thought
we let the worst one of the gang get
away, simply because we had such q
high regard for nerve"

LORD ROSBERY NOW THE COMMANDING
FIGURE IN BRITISH POLITICS

London, Nov. 1.-THE increasing FIRE
quency OF Lord Rosebery's public ut
terances in no way decreases the thrill
of admiration and Ease nation which
follows on each occasion. The strange
minEling Of common sense sentiment
surpassing rhetoric and hOmeIy phTazes
puzzles the people of Great Britain to
such an extent that the former premier
may well be said to have gained more
power since he has been out of power
than he ever did before. His speech
at Glasgow on the occasion of his in
stallatiOn as lord rector of the Glasgow
university causes the other events of
the week to sink into insignidcance.
Yet the underlying note of that Won
derful monograph of the British empire
was one OF warning, as the Daily Tex
graph appropriately describes it, as fol-
lows:
Now that two nations at least, the
United States and Germany, are SO
closely at our back that their shadow
falls in front of US, and that they are
in al ore able condition than ourselves,
we have no doubt England has d re-
serve pace which our competitors
scarcely suspect. But We are near The
time. when we viii have 10 put forth
the best of our speed and stretch every
fibre"

1t is Lord ROsebery's counteraction of
those features which makes his words
so deeply weighed by politicians and
business men in Great Britain. With

FRVORS GIVEN OIL TRUST BY THE

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE industrial
commission today made public an aft
davit made by Henry D. Lloyd, au-

wealth, in response TO charges made
by John D. Archibald, of the Standard
Oil company in his testimony before
the commission. In his testimony Mr.
Archibald commented upon the charac-
ter of the book and the motives of its

the Standard company within recent
times of railroad favors made to the
Improvement company. In this con-
nectiOn he refers to the testimony
taken by the Interstate commerce
commission, Boston, in 1898, as going to
show that the Boston & Albany rail-
road is undertaking cars of the oil
trust to such an extent that in some
cases half of such shipments in Massa-
chusetts went free.
Mr. Lloyd also says:
THE evidence taken in the investiga-
ton in the early part of 1900 by the
Canadian Play company, if correctly
reported, seems to indicate that the Old
South Improvement company system
substantially has been extended by the
Canadian railroads to the oil trust, and
that these railroads have been putting
the price of transportation down for
the favored customers and up for the
other, just as the supreme court of
Ohio found the railroads of that state
doing for the same organization in
1885"
