Mediaeval Trus SITS.

The combinations which in their
magnitude and methods most nearly
resembled the trusts of the present
day were corners in foreign trade or
in domestic commodities like the met
ais, which had limited area Of pro.
ducton. They We're made possible
by two facts then new in business life;
capital had accumulated so that few
persons were enabled to undertake
large enterprises, and the habit Of
faithful cooperation had reached a
certain rough perfection without
which it would have been impossible
for even few men to act concertedly.
In the foreign trade particularly,
great wealth was necessary, not only
for making large purchases, but also
to defray travelling expenses and pro.
vide depots en- route. AS early as the
first half of the fifteenth century
merchants sometimes purchased
ticularly at Venice quantities Of
Oriental wares, spices silks, gold bro
cade, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, etc,
and, after consulting the chief mer-
chants OF the empire, fixed price for
each commodity. This method was
later applied also to domestic com.
modities, such as hardware, leather
tallow and many agricultural pro-
ducts. Tradesmen who refused to en-.
ter into this arrangement were
crushed out by a sudden lowering o.
prices. When competition had been
stihed prices rose again.-The Atlantic

That She Didn't Tell.
Judge John H. Baker, Of the United
States District Court, indianapolis,
Ind, was in his private Office the other
day when well-dressed woman,
hardly more than twenty, Knocked at
the door and in response to his inyi-
tation. walked into the room and ap-
preached his desk. AS the full light
from the window fell upon her it re-
vealed a face Of more man ordinary
beauty. The bushes deepened on the
cheeks Of the visitor as she reached
the desk and stood looking at the
judge,
81 want to thank you" she said in
a low. musical voice, "for having sent
me to the reformatory and also for
securing my pardon. am now mar
ried and happy and owe 1t to you for
having placed me where l would no
longer be under evil influences
The judge recognized the woman and
spoke in words Of praise of her con
duct in the prison and congratulated
her on her better surroundings. Then,
as IL recollecting something he asked:
"Now that you have been released
from the reformatory, are you not
ready to tell who gave you the coun-
terfeit money"
The young woman seemed thought
full for a moment and then, shaking
her head slowly, replied:
lob! don't have to tell you now"
Judge Baker recognized his visitor as
young woman who was brought
before him five years ago on charge
of passing counterfeit money. She was
then about fifteen, and neither the
court nor the district attorney was
disposed to prosecute her very Wig
orously, but they were anxious to
learn from whom she received the
money that the maker could be pun
!shed. Two men were under suspic-
ion. but the Government had no evil
dence that would justify arrests.
The girl was asked from whom she
received the counterfeits, but she re-
NAMED silent and no amount Of coax
ing could get the information from
her Finally the judge told her he
would send her to the reformatory
till she was Of age unless she told the
name of the person from whom she
got the money, but would release her
if she would tell.
The girl kept silent and was
sent to the reformatory to spend the
night, the court hoping that a sight
Of the institution and the prospect Of
spending six years there would cause
her TO name her confederate. When
she was called before him the next
morning she was as obdurate as ever
and he passed sentence upon her.
He thought great deal Of the case
and after while he made up his mind
that the girl should be pardoned and
she was ultimately released through
his recommendation. Inquiry deyel-
oped the fact that she married soon
after leaving the reformatory aud was
living in this city, but the Judge had
never seen her since her commitment
till she appeared to thank him for
the pardon.
There is one woman that can keep
n secret" said the judge after his visi-
tor left the Office and he smiled as
though it was pleasure to have made
a test which resulted in such demon
Ntration.-New York Sun.

Not Ashamed Of Him.

An Englshnan named Grove was a
fine classical scholar and distin-
guished orator. He made his own
position in life, even at a time when
classes were far more seriously re-
garded in England than they are at
present.
His father was carpenter, working
in the town of Winchester, and on
the most loving terms with his son.
One day the son, then an eminent
man, was standing near the cathedral
door, talking to the dean and warden,
when his father passed by,
The old man was in his working
dress, with his rule sticking from his
pocket, and was evidently willing to
spare the son n salutntion. But the
younger Grove called out in good
Hampshire dialect:

No Place For Politics.

From the Little Rock Democrat
Yesterday 1.-THE Democrat received
the following dispatch, which came, nm
fortunately too late for publication. 1t
accounts for the failure Of the board OF
directors Of Arksnsas-St. Louis EXPOSE
ton to hold an election for state man
ager and speaks for itself:
fort SMITH, Ark. Oct. 10, 1901.
ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT:
II refuse to hold an election here.
Too much Clarke politics being injected
for good of state. Will be home In the
morning.
"JNo. j. WHITAKER. -
For the good Of the state 1t is hoped
that no political influences may inter-
fere with the proceedings of the board.
The best results can be accomplished
by keeping the board free from politics.
The tax payers who bear the expense OF
having Arkansas represented at st.
Louis desire most Of all to see her re-.
sources presented in proper form. They
want the state to take front rank for her
industrial enterprises and her great ma
tural advantages. There Is no place for
politics In the state directory, and
President Whitaker Is right In his ef'
forts to prevent any political consider
ations from entering into the organiza-
ton of the board or from predominstin9
in any Of the the schemes evolved FOL
the advancement of the state.
The legislature, in appropriating $SO,
900 for the use Of the board Of directors
in making the exhibit at st. Louis,
never for once contemplated that any
individual interests would be pushed
forward to the detriment Of the state
and had such an idea been presented be-
fore the assembly we doubt seriously
II the bill making the appropriation
could have received the majority which
characterized Its passage. The most
ardent Democrats Of the state are moi
partisan enough to desire a board or
ganized for political purposes, no.
would they sanction a movement which
would cripple the usefulness of that or
ganization. Democrats are patriots
and their first desire In this case Is Il
accomplish the purpose for which the
appropriation was made and they know
full we'll that such an Accomplishment
Is impossible with political intrigues'
Mr.. Whitaker is right, everlastingly
right, In seeking to avoid political com
plications and In his desire to keep thu
board entirely free from political preju
dicss. his position will be endorsed b,
the people.
