SIMILAR TO THE BOND CASE.

There are always people entirely too
fond of springing dangerous questions
on a community. A few years ago a
few enterprising officials, without any
occasion whatever, sprung the ques-
tion of the validity of certain city
bonds. The city recognized their
validity, and paid interest on them,
and rybody was satisfied. Unso-
lioited the matter was dragged into
the courts, impaired the credit Of the
city, caused no end of trouble and ex-
perse, and was finally decided in ia
vor Of the bondholders, as majority
of the people wanted it to be. This
question was sprung for no good, and
1t resulted in no good. 1t cost the
taxpayers a great deal Of money and
considerable modification and in the
end lett the city where it was at first,
except that it was defeated and many
hundred dollars ont. The second class
question is liable to end the same
way. There was no occasion for it.
No one was worried about it, few peo-
pie ever heard there was such ques-
tion and II those who sprung it on the
public had the oIty's interest as much
at heart as the rest of the people, the
question would never have worried
them, either. The people Of Paducah
wanted to 70 into the second class,
the city was entitled to go into the
second class. and tho Legislature put
it there. IL any mistake was made it
was technical and the courts ara oeas-
ing to accord teohnioalties the atten-
tion they once did. The best oonstruc-
tlon that could be pat on law
would be as it should be construed as
the people thought it was construed,
and as they want ii construed. The
lawmakers never intended that tine

Sherlock Holmes outdone.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Speaking of deduction," remarked Lew Derlacher. a well-known sporting man, "I did little piece of Sherlock Holmes work the other night that puzzled friend of mine. l was riding in street car with man who is interested in athletics, and he was anxious to learn the whereabouts of a certain pugilist. I couldn't tell him where to find the boxer but said: We'll take the next car and ask Lew Bailey He'll sknow.' We got ofr the car and boarded the following one, and 1t was not until Bailey had given him the desired information that my friend noticed any thing strange. How did you know Lew was on this car? he asked; did you see him get on% No answered, but de- duced that he was aboard. Deduced" Yes. Notice that big diamond in Lew's tie. Well, when you asked me about the boxers address I happened to look back, and for an instant my eyes were dag zled by a scintillation in the car behind. That's diamond, and a big one,' thought I. and don't know of anybody who wears a diamond as big as a door knob but Lew Bailey I chanced 1t, and we boarded this car. You know the rest"

drawing he always refused to discuss art even with the romantic girl There are always romantic girls at these affairs and that night was no exception. He met her rather late when he was really worried. In her most coquettish way she led him to one corner for her all and own. There she made him comfortable and then, leaning back dreamily, said:
 " Oh. MT. -, 1t Is so good of you to talk to me I am student of art am very fond of 1t; and won't you please tell me of your own art, how you came to be an artist? Now please do.'
 This was more than the young fellow had thought possible and he slipped away, Iemarking at the time that he knew nothing about art.
 few minutes later he passed near her and heard her relating her experience.
 That MT. -, certainly. Is genius" sh said But he is like the rest So ec- centric that he is barely civil. Why, do you know he really told me he knew nothing about art. Of course, he does though and that assuredly proves 1t. And too, he works for the Daily Grind. IF should know all about 1t, don't you think?'

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER JR,
An Oily Young Mans Astounding
 Nerve.

From the New York Journal.
 Many young men, some of them not worth dollar, are quite as pious as John D. Rockefeller. Jr, multi-million- aire, but it is entirely safe to assert that no youth. poor or rich, in this or any other country, can outrival him in nerve.
 It is better for his own sake, of course, that young MT. Rockefeller should take to what he considers preaching the gos- pei than that he should adopt the self indulgent existence of large numbers of the very opulent. Nevertheless. he may do much harm to others if permitted un- checked and uncriticised to go about gold-plating the beatitudes and amend ing the Ten Commandments to suit Standard oil needs.
 MT. Rockef<ller's father has just given Brown University s75,000, and taking ad- vantage of the fact, the young man on recent evening appeared before the Y. M e. A. of the subsidized Providence institution as an attorney for the trusts in general, with special reference, nat urally, to the virtues of the Standard Oil.
 The trusts, in the view of this ex- pounder of the Gospel according to the plutocracy, are Christian agencies for the conferring of benefits upon a grateful community. It is true, he admits, that they crush out competition and kill off small dealers. This, however, Is not only justifiable in itself, humanly considered, but beautiful provision of divine law. Listen: Ja
 "The American beauty rose can be pro- duced in the splendor and fragrance which bring cheer to its beholder only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it. This is not an evil tendency in business. It is merely the working out of law of nature and law of God"
 The Standard Oil is fragrant certainly, but its perfume is not precisely of the heavenly variety, except to the carefully

the night patrolling. You sit or stand few feet above the permanent way watch ing for such small sign-ruffled gravel, dislodged ballast or misplaced sleeper as the train wrecker has left behind him. You know that everything depends upon your vigilence-the safety of the train, the lives of its garrison. You know that if you fail to detect the work of the dynamiter you yourself are good as a dead man. and that your comrades will be mutilated with you. The passage of each culvert is an agony, each roll of the train is an alarm. Death ever stares you in the face. The tension is such that the strongest nerves will break down after few weeks on a bad section of the line.
 Here. Sergeant, take my place; must rest my eyes,"
 The subaltern leaned back against the armored wall of the truck. He remem- bered the cake and took 1t out of his pocket, toyed with 1t moment, and then broke 1t in half A little slip of paper huttered from 1t, and fell at his feet. He picked 1t up, and then, thinking 1t pass ing strange, lit a match and read. written in girlish hand, Don't cross Kaal Spruit tonight"
 Where are we. sergeant7 He was on his feet in @ second.
 Just about to cross Kaal Spruit, sir!'
 A spring to the communicator. The dial ticked Stop" Two more vigorous pulls Full steam astern," and as the brakes closed on the wheel shafts the fore bat tery was three feet from the culvert.
 Down, men; down for your livesr yelled the subaltern. The train was under way; slowly 1t backed and then as the pisterns began to feel the steam pressure came the explosion. The bogie swung and rocked with the concussion. great pieces of masonry struck 1t armored plates. but 1t kept the rails.

 There are trusts and trusts.
 The trust that depends for it's suprem- acy ip the markets upon the superior efficiency and the economies resulting from large capital and close organiza- ton is a creature of legitimate business evolution ,,e,I, on, owing its existence to modern
 The trust that is founded on monopoly of a national product secured by chicane, theft, criminal conspiracies with rail- roads, and by resort to outright crimes of violence, is simply pirate in twen- tieth century guisa
 That is the kind of trust against which every honest man should be at war.
 Young MT. Rockefeller, representing the Standard oil Trust, had the unearthly effrontery to descant on the value of hon. esty in business in his address to the Y. M. c. A. of Brown University. As he Is scarcely an imbecile. if not an intellectual giant, 1t is to be presumed that he knows something of the history of the oil Trust from which he has derived the millions that cause him to be received respectfully as public speaker.
 That history may be unknown to the young men of Brown. Therefore they are in danger of being deceived and even morally perverted by the appearance of the heir apparent of the Standard oil as an advocate of honesty in business.
 The Journal recommends every student of Brown who heard John D. Rockefeller Jr., at Providence on Thursday night, and every young man everywhere who has rend the newspaper reports of that amaz- ing discourse-which was inspired either by incredible ignorance or astonishing inn pudence-to go to the nearest library and procure copy of Henry D. Lloyd's book. Wealth Against Commonwealth
 That work tells the whole truth about the origin. methods and progress of the Standard oil Company, and 1t is a story of absorbing interest.
