A MAN OF INTUITION.


Investment OF Small Sum of Money
to Good Advantage.
"I had Just come back to the store
from my lunch one day" said the mer-
chant, as burglar-proof safes we're un-
der discussion, when middle-aged
man with a hard-up look entered my
private Office after me, The object OF
his call was to strike me for half a
dollar, and am surprised yet that l
didn't at once turn him down. guess
it was because he had the look OF q
first-class mechanic out Of job, and
because trade was rushing with me, To
accede to his request / had to open my
big safe, and as handed him TWO
quarters he thanked me and added;
Excuse me, sir, but isn't that safe OF
yours too dead easy?' How do you
mean?' | asked. Why, It's four
number combination, but you have 1t
set only on two. | think could open
II in a couple OF minutes, If you can
I'll give you $5,' said, feeling little
nettled at his disparagement. shut
and locked the door and stood back
for him, and in less than forty seconds
he had swung 1t open. I told you 1t
was dead easy, he said, without q
smile. But how did you get on to the
combination oh, IT'S intuition, /
guess. Better call in man and have
the lock set on four numbers. 1t could
be opened then, but it might take an
hour or two. Thanks again, and good
day.. | didn't let the grass grow un-
der my feet" continued the merchant
land from that day onl carried heap
less money in the safe. The man might
have been a mechanic, but somehow
I've always had the idea that he wa
a safe-cracker, and that made a gooG
investment when | handed over tea
$3.50 He might have got $4,000 thai
night as easy as rolling off a log -

WHAT MONOPOLY is.
w. ]. BRYAN IN THE CoMMoNER
GIVES A DEFINITION.
Suspension OF tho Laws Of Composition
tho Easehtial Thing Public Has No
Protection From Their Creed and Sol
nSh IntorsIt

A reader OF The Commoner asks for
u definition OF a private monopoly
According to one of the dictionaries
monopoly" is defined as "the exclu-
slye right, power, or privilege OF en-
gaging In particular trafllc or busl-
ness, or the resulting absolute posses
sion or control; especially, In political
economy, such control Of special
thing, as commodity, as enables the
person or persons exercising 1t to
raise the price above It's real value or
above the price II would bring under
competition"
The essential thing In monopoly is
the suspension Of the law OF competi-
ton. II an Individual, or a group Of
individuals acting In concert control
all Of certain product, or sufficient
amount TO enable them to arbitrarily
iix the price Of the thing produced,
they have what Ia called monopoly.
When such monopoly Is In private
hands, the public has no protection
from the selfish interest and greed of
those at the head of the monopoly
II Is because human beings cannot be
entrusted with such power that the
Democratic party has denounced a pri-
vate monopoly as indefenslble and In
tolerable.
The same reader asks whether there
is any difference between the private
monopolies complained Of by the
Democratic party and the "prIvate
monopolles Of land values" There Is
no analogy between the private owner
ship OF land and the private mon
opolies so generally complained Of,
Whether there should be private own
ership OF land and whether tho whole
people, acting through the govern
ment, should collect tax equivalent
TO the rental value-these questions
can be decided upon their merits, but
they ought not to be confused with the
question of private monopoly If 80
much OF the land wns owned by one
person, or by group OF persons act
ing in concert, that competition be-
tween land owners was practically sus-
pended-in such case there would
be an analogy between the land mon
opoly and the private monopolies
against which legislation is being con-
sldered, AT present there is no com
petition between individual owners of
land, and this competition makes 1t
possible to secure land at n price
which Is proportonate to the income
that can be derived from It.
II has been the policy Of the gov
ernment to grant to inventors limited
monopoly upon their product In order
to encourage invention. When an In
ventor brings into existence n new and
useful appliance, he has as a reward
the exclusive sale Of II for a period of
years. The fact that this monopoly Is
limited, is evidence that the general
principle of monopoly Is Objectionable
A value limit ought to be added to the
time limit so that a patent would be-
come null and void as soon as II rea-
sonable amount, a sum to be fixed by
law, is realized from the invention

not aimlessly wandering, Tho little
god Cupid had to do with his wander
ings. Paul was thinking OF Hide
garde.
That haunting face with Its melting,
brown eyes, was the lode star that
drew the recluso from his den,
And pray, who was Hildegarde?
Truth to tell, Paul would not have
been wholly able to have given def
mite answer to that question had he
been asked,
Some weeks ago he hau met her In
rather a strange way that bordered a
little on the romantic, Chance had al
lowed him to do her favor, slight
enough In It's way, but when she
thanked MIN so sweetly, the mischief
was done, for with the modest grace
Of those velvety brown orbs the little
god of love had shot an arrow true
to the mark, and ever since Paul had
felt Its point in his heart.
Several times he had seen her since
and on each occasion had received q
bow and blush of recognition, But
no more
However, on the occasion of their
meeting, she had dropped small 'ker-
chief, which Paul had discovered and
now he was on his way to her house
to, he hoped, become definitely ac-
qualnted.
He found the house readily enough,
and was shown into a small, dimly
lighted parlor where he was to await
the coming OF the lady OF the house,
1t was just at this moment that his
ear caught the sound of laughter.
II came from the next room, and
was as merry and free from care as
any sound he had ever heard-fresh,
girllsh laughter that quickened his
pulse, since he could give very good
guess as to the source from whence II
came.
Few temptations arise that there
does not also appear the means OF
gratifying the desire, and In this case
he noted the fact that the connecting
door between the room In which he
awaited the pleasure Of the tardy aunt
and the adjoining apartment was ajar
Utterly unconscious Of what awaited
him, he advanced gently toward the
opening, and with eager eyes sought
the object Of his sollcitude,
Success Immediately attended his ef.
forts, for he discovered the nymph Of
the hazel brown eyes in direct range
She had evident cause for merriment
and as Paul turned his eyes toward her
companion he saw that 1t was man
The party's back was turned to him
so that he could not discover whether
he were young or old, comely or ugly
though he hoped the latter,
While Paul stood there wondering
what all the fun was about and cha
grined to think he was not in 1t, thu
man faced about, and the American
felt cold chill chase up and down bii
spinal column when, amid the mutt
bandages he discovered the handsome
sinister countenance of his bitter en-
emy, Conrad Hoffman,

One Of the questionable advantages
Of an oyernowing public treasury Ia
that II renders easy and leisurely the
prosecution OF any schemes OF eXactlon
deemed polite and safe by an unro-
strained majority in congress. Legis-
lators are not concerned with what Ia
unduly drawn from the pockets Of the
people, but rather with what may lg-
ure as substantial concessions to Or
ganzed greed or as partisan sinews OF
war for future political campaigns.

It seemed as though the proposition
by Senator Burrows OF Michigan to
"spot" allen anarchists seeking admis-
sion to this country by examining
their persons for marks indicative of
membership in anarchistic societies"
were sufficiently grotesque. It Is out
done in absurdlty, however, by Senator
Hoar's advocacy OF an international
scheme by which all countries Paving
lawful governments should deport an
archists to some island, where they
could put their theories to the test"
II the Massachusetts senator were
given to jesting we might ascribe his
speech OF yesterday to desire to show
how ridiculous the current cures for
anarchy really are.

When the time arrives for the open

Tho PronIdont and schley.

The Chicago Tribune Is respon-
sible for the statement that Mr. Roose-
welt has given 1t out that he Will
veto any resolution or act Of congress
proposing to revive the grade of vice
admiral for schley, or to give him the
thanks OF congress, or In any other
way to recognize Schley by statute
In taking this position the president Is
not influenced In any way by his own
personal feelings in the matter, but
merely by his desire to put an end to
q disturbance which has scandalized
both the army and the navy" AS
the president is mot influenced In any
way by his own personal feelings In
this matter, how did It happen that
everything he has done so far with the
single exception Of Maclay's discharge,
and everything which Is predicted the
president may do, is clearly antagonls-
tic to Admiral Schley? Does Mr.
Roosevelt really imagine that 1t is pos
sible even for him to settle contro-
versy without the slightest regard to
Its merits7 Does Mr., Roosevelt imag-
inc that with the memory Of the fig

can put an end to the Schley case sim
