Occasionally there is to be found a
proprietor Of secondhand bookstore
who is something more than the nature
of his business would seem to indicate.
He regards his old and rare volumes
rather as collection than a stock of
goods and experiences a pang when he
parts with one.
A flippant young man dropped into a
secondhand bookstore kept by a man
of this kind.
Taking down several choice old books
from the shelves, he fingered them
carelessly and replaced them. They
happened to treat of abstruse subjects
and did not appeal to him.
care any of these books for hire ?"
he asked carelessly.
"No, young man." sharply answered
the proprietor. "They are for lore."-

readily read the lesson and discern the
fruitage of the trust developments
which the polling of the present ad-
ministratiOn has caused to blossom
and grow rank upon our soil, sucking
away the strength of the multitude of
minor business interests, narrowing
the opportunities for wage earners and
nullifying the expression of tn. peoples
will-competition destroyed-and a
tariff system introduced that gives less
then twenty men the privilege to
corner the entire wealth of the nation
through the leverage of corrupting
influences that vast wealth and the
control of the arteries of commerce can
exert.
ExtOrtiOn Exacted
by MOnOpOlies
1t is the people, the consumers, who
pay the. prices which makes these
staggering trust profits possible, they
are taxed in exact proportion to the
big dividends declared on trust stocks,
they must buy the necessaries of life
from these combinations because they
are obtainable nowhere else. Advo-
Gates of the trust idea contend that
trusts cheaper the cost to the consumer,
and yet make such profits as almost to
double the fortunes of the trust mag
mates in one year. 1t will repay every
intelligent reader and thinker to con-
template this contradiction and to
investigate more closely into the work
ings of a system of corrupt and unlaw-
full combinations that can declare such
golden profits as to warrant an annual
dividend of eighty per cent on the
capital invested.
In paper read before this circle by
a fellow member, on Modern Socialism,
he claims the trust is the fOrerunner of
cooperative commonwealth. Not
so. A commonwealth embraces the
people of an entire state. A trust is
formed for the special benefit of the
moneyed class, having no regard to the
varied interests of the common people,
only so far us it is incidental to the
advancement and success OF trust
projects. Socialism proposes to super.
sede and to centravene the established
laws OF the universe: to, in fact, wipe
out original and inherent liberty, when
as he declares-"trusts become so
powerful that the entire nation will be
transformed into one great trust" then
it is time for the Republic to drop out
of existence and bow to plutocracy's
reign instead. X.

Yarns of 1861.

The colored man frequently figured
in the episodes of the war On one of
the southern plantations were en-
ployed two tyl ical darkies, man and
wife. The inan, iii addition to his
work on the farm, was called upon to
look after the horses and do chores
about the house. He was we'll along
in years, and was one of the most
faithful of his race. His wife was
cook at the house.
The master was very punctual and
liked his help to be the same. One
day, after the shot and shell had been
screaming for many hours from a far
away battle, the Old colored man, Dan,
did not appear as usually for his work
about the stable. The master asked
for Dan from his wife, Sinda, and got
this answer:
"Have to excuse Dan this morning,
massa; have to excuse him." The mas
ter asked her why and what was the
matter.
"Have to excuse him, massa, Dan
done got shot dead this morning about
sun up-fool nigger-told him to keep
out of the way of dem ere cannon balls.
Mighty powerful things to fool with.
Have to excuse him this morning,
massa."
The master was growing anxious
about Dan when, few hours later, he
was astonished to see Dan engaged at
his usual work. STRABO.

Terrible Predicament.
Pneumatic Tube Service 1

Many hens have ridden on cars but
we know of none that rode in the novel
(novel is good manner described in the
following story.
An interurban car while crossing
Umph and Wablaw streets in St. Paul
ran into flock of chickens, who, like
the poultry of 10 Miller's joke book,
were trying to cross the road, reason
not stated. AS none of the scnickens
nor the rooster could be found after
the event we were unable to procure an
interview so that the facts in the
matter will probably never be known.
Anyway. The car run into flock of
hens among which wassMrs. Plymouth
Rock. Mrs. Rock was,fin terrible
predicament but fortunately retained
her presence of mind and rperceiving
that she would be unable to cross the
track without being beheaded, quickly
hoped on the fender. The motoneer
who had not observed the feat did not
stop the car but put on more juice
while Mrs. Rock ssrealized that she was
rapidly being borne from:iher native
scratching ground.
The car continuing ion its mad rush
out of st. Paul, stopping only for few
brief intervals, Mrs. Rock was unable
to jump off. After a mile or so of this
unique travel Mrs. Rock began to
appreciate the fact that the hen family
had been missing something and
quietly settled down Ito enjoy the
chance of her lifetime. She retained
her seat during the whole of the trip
through Minneapolis and was soon
back again in st. Paul. AS she neared
her home che managed to squawk
loud enough to attract the attention of
the motoneer who courteously stopped
the vehicle and allowed her to alight.
Mrs. Rock is none the worse for the
trip save for the loss of a few tail
feathers. She is object of much at
tentiOn in the barnyard. and is never
tired of relating of her thrilling ride to
Minneapolis and back on an interurban
electric car.
The report that an egg was found on
the fender is Indignantly denied by
Mr.. Rock who says that Mrs. Rock
ought to know.

Patience.

Patience is one of the sublimest of
human virtues. He who can De patient
through all things is indeed worthy of
reward. TO be impatient over little
things is considered by many to show
"spirit." The patient man is looked
down on with contempt. Impatience,
the kind that RACES over trifes, denotes
shallow mind. "Time and [ against
any two," said Cardinal Mazarin many,
many years ago; and in that brief
motto he expressed wisely the epitome
of all craftsmanship.
The Americans are an impatient race
"Get rich quick" is the watchword
that sets the factory wheels turning,
and rushes the steam horse from ocean
to ocean. 1t is this that sends their
ships to the worlds end, and dots a
continent with gigantic cities in one
brief day, we might say, for the hundred
years of their existence is only a day
when compared with history. America
is all intelligent, healthy youth of
whom we have great expectations
Yet this impatience may be pushed too
far, until it becomes a passion, and
evil will result from it. Already we
can partially see its results in the trusts
and corporations, mOnstrous vampires
who suck the lite blood from all that
come within their grasp, whether it be
rival concern, an individual, or a
people that opposes them.
When we are weary of the ceaseless
struggle and turmoil of life we should
turn to the smiling face of nature.
Nature works slowly. Nature never
does anything in hurry. True, the
earthquake destroys a great city in a
few minutes, but then it required a
long period of chemical preparation
beneath the earth's surface before the
earthquake could take place. The
evolution of species proceeds slowly but
it proceeds severely.
''The mills of the gods grind slow,
But they grind exceedingly fine"
The avalanche travels swiftly, but
first the snow must fall, flake by flake,
and then the heat must work on it
many days before it finally starts on
it's destructive journey. A great battle
is fought quickly, but the plans of it
are formed long before hand, and are
patiently gone over again and again.
All great forces and great minds work
slowly, and require much time to attain
their objective points; but when they

After all we must come back to the
old truism: that men and women are
like water; they always find their true
level. And where you live happiest,
that is your level. There's polluted
water, and there's clear water. But
one law is inexorable: the closer you
get to Nature, the truest and simplest
thing there is because it is the closest
to God, the clearer always will you find

True Fame More Than Name.


Go ask the saints and sages what is fame.
And learn it's but an effort and a name
AS oft interpreted upon the plan
Marked out by vain, ambitious, heartess man;
True fame is rarer, fairer far than what
Men label with the name, yet know it not
Men fight upon the CORY battlefield
Where strong wrong wins when weak right oft
must yield;
Drench sodden earth with blood. burn dens and
Leave widows and pierced hearts in countless
homes,
While orphans doomed to want both hope and
bread
Wall for the loved ones shattered cold and dead.
Rash wrong entrenched stares through its palace
gates
To where impoverished right for scant aims
waits,
And filings it's dole to soften darkest dearth
Forced by its false pride on a crimsoned earth:
It's cruel power no man may tie nor tame,
To it men bow the knee and call it fame.
In statecraft winding words in torrents flow,
Men to false ends by devious pathways go,
Pursue dark ways to win some selfish prize
And are by blinded multitudes called wise
Because, fOrsooth, their hot ambitious flame
Around vice craterS which dull ones call fame.
He should be famous who promotes earths
peace,
Who aims to make homes, hopes and joys in
crease,
Who sheds not blood his noble ends to gain,
And prints loves labels not the brand of Cain;
True fame brings Christ's smile to all souls again
And stamps Gods image on the hearts of men.

IN THE OIL FIELDS

Western Union Oil company, operat
ing on the Carieago ranch, Santa Bar
bara county, has had a great deal of
trouble with it's we'll since it was
twisted by an earthquake some weeks
since. The workmen tried to pull the
casing and it parted, and when they
udertook to break it up the tools were
stuck. AS result the well has been
abandoned, at least for the time being,
with five or six strings of casing In it.
The company is now putting up two
derricks, and will be drilling again
within few days. The new locations
are about 300 feet from the first, where
a good well was being brought in when
the earthquake played havoc.
Walter H. Clark, secretary of the
h.ival Oil company has left for San
Francisco and Portland, after inspect
ing the company's property at Mid
way and Los Angeles. In the former
field the company expects soon to be at
work, while the company has just
brought in its first well in this city.
Work will be begun at once on No. 2.
A test of No. 1 was made yesterday
and it was shown to have big pro-
ductive power.
Union and Pacific Coast Oil COM
panies, the old-timers among the Cali
fornia fields, the latter of which is now
a branch of the Standard Oil company,
have both taken steps to suspend drill
ing operations on their lands in Ven
tura county and the Newhall field.
The low price of oil is the reason for
this action.
! 1t is believed that the Kramer Con-
solidated will have company in drilling
in the Kramer field, and it is claimed
that one rig has already been sent
out.
The Southern Pacific railroad will
receive fifty new oil tank cars from
it's Sacramento shops within week or
so. Il g:S
Several parties interested in oil en-
tered the valley last week from the
north and south. The oil racket is
again stirred up and everything will in
few days be again on the move
Fred Hardness and drillers pulled into
the east Huasna oil well yesterday
where operations will be resumed. The
new machinery, one of the heaviest
and best rigs in the state, recently con-
nected there, will be started at the

GUAM LABOR FOR HAWAII
Ex.Queen LiIuokalani May Receive
S25O,OOO

HONOLULU.-A movement is under
way to bring about 1000 men here from
Guam as laborers. The demand for
plantation labor in Hawaii is still far
from satisfied, and it is thought that
the natives of Guam would be found
very suitable to conditions here.
Governor Dole has refused to extend
the sessions of the legislature, though
requested to do SO by both houses.
In letter to the senate, answering
its request for thirty days more time
in which to complete legislation, the
executive said that the session had
been wasteful of time and money and
he had no confidence that an extension
would result in anything better.
The governors action is great dis
appointment to the home rulers and to
many others interested in bills now
before the houses. There are over a
hundred acts of various kinds not acted
upon, and the session, according to the
governors count, will end next Tues
day.
The county government act has
passed through the senate and is now
in the governors hands, though it was
passed so hurriedly and with such adj
mitted imperfections that some of its
friends say they do not expect the
governor to sign it. A law imposing
a per cent. tax on incomes, with
$1,000 only exempt, has also gone to
the executive. A bill to give the for
mer queen $150,0O0 from the treasury,
and bill to appropriate $1,50O,OOO for
payment of claims growing out of the
fire in Chinatown during the plague
quarantine, have both passed, finally,
in the house, and the latter has been
approved by the senate.
United States Judge Estee has rem
dered a decision that the Hawaiian
law requiring special stamps to be af-
fixed to deeds and other documents
is constitutional. The matter was
brought before the judge on the plea
that territory could not impose q
stamp tax, the issue being made in {
case where legal documents necessar3
to a transfer of land required $150t
worth of stamps.
Delegate Wilcox has nominated f. V
Richardson, a Hawaiian, for the West

San Franciscan Makes a Fortune

NEW YORK.-One of the big win

man named George Whittell, now stay
ing at the Waldorf Astoria.
He has been a bull since last Octo-
Der and has bought some standard
stocks, not traded in on the exchange,
which have marvelously appreciated in
value, as well as taking a flyer" at
noted speculative issues. He was
wealthy before he began, and an ac-
duaintance of his said positively today
that Mr. Whittells fortune has been
swelled by 100000 since election.
