Shrewd Trailers of Men.

There is no member Of the human
race more skillful in tracking men
through forests or deserts, over noun
tainS or through vGrdure-clad wales
than the Apache Indian. He possesses
in an eminent degree the acute instinct
of the hound combined with an accu-
rate sense of vision. A turned leaf, q
fleck of gravel cast aside, the displace-
ment of pebble from it's bed-all are
clear, readable pages.
They ask few, if any, particulars of
the man they are to follow. They will,
as they progress on his track, gather up
for themselves one by one little items
as to his personality, which are nearly
always verified in the end.
When following n trail over the iron
capped rocks and stony arroyas of Ari-
zona his face is q picture Of intense
concentration; not syllable escapes
him; his pace varies from no visible
cause. At times he almost runs. Then,
with q rapid glance behind, he glides
along slowly and with eyes glued to the
ground, possibly for hours. Here and
there may be few stretches Of sand,
but dry sand leaves after the footstep
only an indentation, closing after the
pressure, SO that to the inexperienced
eye, it might have been horse or a
mule that made it and not a man.

w started Kicks about two years
ago. the manager of the house said
recently. Il grew tired of finding q
Dig proportion of my mail made up of
such letters as this:
q" That box of hats l bought is not
selling as well in Quog as thought it
would. Please tell me what is the
matter with the hats and will it be all
right if l return them%

These kick letters are no longer laid
on my desk with each mornings mail;
they arc entered now in Kicks under
their proper classification" said the
manager. For the book has number
of heads-some sixty in all-and never
kick comes in that doesn't fall under
one or another of these classifications
by my present system" continued
the manager according to the Philadel-
phia Record, 'instead Of frittering
away a lot Of time attending to kicks
each day I give Friday morning only
to them. On those mornings the book
OF Kicks is laid before me; l remedy
the evils that are real evils and the
fakes l throw away.
Another advantage of this kick book
is that | have been able through it to
discover q host of chronic kickers Of
unreasonable and even Of dishonest
complaints. These persons 1 have

up to a few years ago l felt no need
to test its medicinal potency, but lately
when my system needed it, your peruna

Some two years ago l weighed 21O
pounds, but fell away down to 16S
pounds, and besides loss of flesh | was
subject to stomach troubles, indigestion,

During my long life | have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds,

supposed these affections to be different

years l have been reading DR.. Hartman's
books and have learned from them one
thing in particular: That these affec

properly called catarrh.
LAS for DR.. Hartmans remedy, Pc

Oil Prices.
To til. Editor OF The Evening st,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Permit me to say In reply to the criticism
Of a recent article of mine in your excel
lent paper by the Independent Oil Com
pany that the writer entirely misconceives
the spirit and meaning Of my protest
against the action of the Standard OIL &C.
topus in raising unnecessarily. at the time
of a great national calamity. the price Of
it's product. one of the necessaries Of life
to millions Of people.
Possibly the gentleman does not know
that the Standard Oil Company controls 90
per cent of all the coal oil produced in this
country, and does rot tolerate price cut
ting by any independent concern. which
may account for his earnest defense of the
Standard company. but does not prove, by
any means. that the tail wags the dog.
The idea sought to be conveyed was
that the Standard OIL Company did and
does control 80 per cent of the production of
this article. and since its cash dividends
on a supposed capitalization of 800. OO0O
during the past six years have amounted
to SET 100000 besides the immense sums
spent in betterments and In holding produc
ing territory out of competition by pur-
chase. that the last rise in price was not
called for by any rule of justice or equity.
As We cannot arbitrarily establish a new
rate of pay for our services every time q
new demand Is made upon our means Of
and Incorporated companies already in ex-
istence. We might be pardoned for at least
inquiring who shall have the spending of
the profits of our labor.
To satisfy the gentleman's curiosity
will say that this one '.trifling increase
which this independent retailer thinks
was not great enough will cause q respect
able portion OF my own salary to appear in
the next dividend of the Standard Oil Com
pany. for which l receive nothing. and that
the total of all these small accretions of
other peoples well-earned money will
again permit the Standard company to
announce another $4SOOO.0Ou yearly diyi-
dend upon its 100000 600 capitalization

ing Electric Railway Charter.

Special Dispatch to The Evening star
ROCKVILLE, Md. January S.-Ry the
provisions of an ordinance passed last eVen-
ing by the mayor and council of Rockville.
the charter under which the Washington
and Rockville Electric Railway Company
was granted free use of the main street of
Rockville was declared forfeited AS re-
suit. the ears of the company will not be
allowed to enter the corporate Limits of the
town. The company has been notified OF
the action OF the council, and although the
cars were running into the town as usual
this morning. the company will hereafter
be required to make Its terminus at the fair
grounds. the extreme eastern limits OF the
corporation.
When the free right Of way was granted
the company. il was upon the condition, II
Is said. that the street traNersed by the
road would be kept in thorough repair be-
tween and for two feet on each Side OF the
tracks, and that as soon as the legal IN
hibition preventing the construction OF any
electric or steam road on any street or
road II the county not thirty feet in width
was removed. the road would be extended
from It's present terminus Immediately In
front of the court house to the western
limits of the town. 1t Is claimed that the
condition in regard to the streets has all
along been violated. and that the street
traversed by the cars has ever since the
construction of the road been IN as
the legislature all legal distractions to the
extension of the road were removed, and
coupled with the act was a provision re-
quiring the road to begin the work of eN-
tension by the 1st of last December. The
company il is alleged. has made effort
to carry out its promise or to respect the
law.
when the meeting called to order
probably ore hundred or more OF represent
alive citizens of the town were preseh--
Mayor Talbot stated that the board would
be glad TO hear the views of those present
regarding the railway question. Mr.. H.
Maurice Talbot, attorney for the COM
pany. requested that action be postpon"!
until Gen. George II. Harries, vice presi-
dent of the company. could be present. but
II was decided to take up the matter and
dispose of it. On behalf of the town
speeches We're made by Messrs. William H.
Lamar. Philip ID. Laird, James p. b. Fens
Edward c. Peter. George H. Lamar. Robert
Il. Peter Frank Higgins. Alexander Kill
Sour and William II. Rabbit. all of whom
urged the council to declare the company
charter forfeited. Mr.. II. Maurice Talbot
was the Only speaker in the company'j in
terest his remarks consisting principally of
appeal for postponen,ent. A vote x
those present was taken, The result showing
that every person prest mt was In favor OF
the council declaring the charter forfeited.
An executive session Of the council fol-
lowed and the ordinance forfeiting Inc char
ter was unanimously passed.
Before the company Will again bc allowed
The RICH; to enter the town new ordinance
will nave to be passed. and 1t Is believed
that before this is done the company VIII
have to give the town some substantial
consideration.
