told that she refused to marry most de-
voted lover until he had anna ssed fortune Of
$4,000. After some expostulation he ac-
cepted the decree and went to work. About
three months after this the vivacious young
lady, meeting her lover, asked:
well, Charley, how are you getting
along?"
"0h. very well, indeed" Charley returned,
cheerly. 1--WE saved $l8."
The young lady blushed and looked down
ct the toes Of her walking boots, and stabbed
the inoffensive earth with the point of her
parasol. II guess" she said family, II

ANTITRUST PROTESTS
POURED ON CONGRESS
All Claim Time Not Ripe
for Legislation

An unprecedented number Of letters
and dispatches are pouring in upon mem
bers Of Congress protesting against anti
trust legislation being enacted at this
session. One Senator said that he had
a bunch Of these petitions three feet high.
and the mails and wires continue TO
bring them. He Is Of the opinion that his
case is no exception, and that If the en-
tire number that have come TO the Capt.
toI were consolidated, the building might
easily be papered and enough left over
to stock a fair-sized wallpaper estab-
lishment.
The strange part regarding these petit
tions is that the story had gone out that
the trusts had reconciled themselves tn
the will Of the Administration and would
not exert their influence against a mod
crate bill. On the contrary, every known
kind Of manufacture and a variety of
consolidated interests are represented in
the protests. It appears that none of the
so-called combinations suspected Of re-
straining trade is in harmony with any
bill thus far presented. The petitions en-
ter no complaint against the EIkins bill,
the Hoar bill. the Jenkins bill, the Lit
tlefeld bill. or any Of the others. Spe-
eife mention seems tc have been careful
ly avoided. and the petitioners protest
only against antitrust legislation
The suspicion has become deep-seated
that the petitions spring from a concert
OF the trusts. It is true that no one form
of petition Is followed. yet when di-
gested, they all tell the same story-that
there is no need now for change Of the
! laws in regard to control Of monopolies.
At the present time the trusts have lit
tie to fear. The fact that the Statehood
bill Is blocking legislation and that any
/ preference to be given Will surely go to
/ the appropriation measures and the Pan
ana and Cuban treaties does not tend 70
increase the chances of the passage OF
any antitrust legislation at this session.
