A Polite Denial.

Everybody knows the man who is
careful never to say "No" abruptly in
answer to a question, NO" is a hard
word, but one may sometimes be made
ridiculous by a reluctance to utter it,
says an exchange.
A certain man who had this habit
was once met by two ladies who had
been discussing the popularity, and one
of them said that she was positive she
could make him say "Oh, nor fatty.
So she addressed him thus:
"Let me see, Mr.. Smith; you are a
widower, are you not"'
GAS much a widower, madam" he
answered, with a polite inclination of
his head. 'as it is possible for man to
be who has never married"
The lady had to own herself BEATEN

Tanning UnGcr Umbrellas.

If YOU want a good coat of tan
carry an umbrella on hot, sunny
DAYS. Of course the umbrella keeps
the sun from beating down directly
overhead, and Il is an apparent pro-
lection for this reason. But on
streets where there is asphalt pave
ment or concrete sidewalk the rays
of the sun are rcfracted with almost
vertical intensity. They are prac-
tically collected under the dome Of
the umbrella, and sunburn is the re-
suit.
1t has been found by experiment
that a person will be more severely
sunburncd under an umbrella on
the water than he will if entirely
unprotected from the suns rays

IT IS A VOlUMINIOUS DOCUMENT
Three Reasons Given Why Decision
of Lower Court Should Be
Affirmed.
IT IS A VOiUMINIOUS DOCUMENT

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE brief
of the United States in the appeal of
| the Northern Securities company from
| the decision in favor of the govern
ment delivered by the United States
circuit court of Minnesota, was filed in
! the supreme court today. Attorney
General Knox and Assistant Day sub
nlitted an argument covering $50 pages.
The questions of law arising Which
they desire affirmed are as follows:
First. Has combination been ac-
! complished through the Securities
company in violation of the antitrust
| law: second, Have the defendants
monopolized or attempted to monop-
oiize any part of the interstate or for
eign commerce Of the United States?
third Was the relief granted by the
| circuit court authorized by law?
If as they contend either of the first
| two and the third questions should be
answered in the affirmative the decree
of the circuit court must be affirmed.
theN argue ttlat the anti trust act IS
not primarily criminal statute, but
was framed tc defeat the subterfuges
designed by the trusts to evade form
er laws.
The brief characteriZes as absurd
tbs. lain that the two railways. the
! Gr-.,t Northern and the Northern Pa
! cific, which are naturally competitors,
should compete after both are subject
to the same control. 1t says that it is
not to the interest of the stockholders
that one road should prosper at the
others expense as they receive divi-
dendS by polling the earnings of both
1t is not possible to conceive d more
effective method for combining COM
petitiVe interests and for SupDressing
competition between rivals which are
naturally competing business corpora
tions. The brief says the circuit court
took the most logical course. that of
enjoining the voting of the stocks of
the two companies at Securities COM
pany's meetings or from paying diVl-
dends to the Securities company's
stockholders.
