This years dividends of the Standni
oil trust aggregate $iS per share,
or 4S per cent, which is equal to last
years division of profits, says the
Springfield Republican. Previous to
1900 the largest division was 33 per
cent-a rate recorded of both 1899 and
1897, 80 per cent being declared In
1898. The advance to 4S per cent Is
practically coincident with an advance
in the price of kerosene oil to the peo-
pie. The extortiOn Is purely arbitrary,
and about as extravagant and cold
blooded as is to be found in monopoly
records. On a capitalization Of 500,
O00, 900 the Standard OIL company has
distributed to shareholders within
three years S120,OO0,OOO.

The opening Of the week saw the

Akron Sunday to be on the hunting

THE HUNTING SEASON.

Through wood and bog,
With gun and dog,
The hunter now goes streaking;
And here and there,
And everywhere,
lie carefully is peeking.
From early dawn
TIL day is gone
He's back and forward scooting;
And oft flash
And then crash
Disclose where he is shooting.
On every side
The shot fly wide,
And oft they're perforating
The hides o. klne
And sheep and swine
In fields perambulating.
And now and then
A straying hen
Appears to be peasant,
A bang Is heard,
Down goes the bird,
And then come thoughts unpleasant
A turkey tame
Looks just like game
TO tyro who is cunning;
He cracks away,
Then in dlsmay
He from the scene Is running.
No wonder, then,
That farming men
Declare that they have reason
For being mad.
AS well rs sad,
When comes the hunting season.
