contrary in the case of DIR. Kings New

DECISION AGAINST RoTHsGHILDs.- "A
fuaI decision has at last been rendered
in Berlin in the famous case of the
Rothschilds against the Russian govern
ment. Some time ago the German,
Austrian and French houses of the
Rothschilds combined and bought large
petroleum fields in the Caucasus from
the Russian government. When the
consummation of the transaction was an
nounced, an objection was lodged with
the government that the sale was not
legal because the. Rotchschilds were
Jews. The Rothschids took the case
into the courts and, after long drawn
out fight, the final decision has finally
been rendered stating that the objection
Is valid. The fields will accordingly
shortly be offered for sale again. 1t Is
expected that the Standard Oil and the
biz syndicate of German oil dealers will
be rival bidders.

The Sword of DamoCles.

There was one a king whose name
was Dionysius. He was so unjust
and cruel that he won for himself
the name of Tyrant. He knew that
almost everybody hated him, and so
he was always in dread lest somebody
should take his life.
But he was very rich, and he lived
in a fine palace, where there we're
many costly and beautiful things;
and he was waited on by a host of
servants who were always ready to
do his bidding. One day a friend of
his, whose name was Damocles, said
to him:
GLOW happy you must be! You
have everything hat a man could
wish"
perhaps you would like to change
places with me-" said the tyrant.

mOcles; "but [ think that if I could

Up went Kitty's fingers
A farmers daughter she,
Not so bright at figures
As she ought to be.
"Please, ma'am"-"Well, then, Kitty,
Tell us, if you know"

And so on the next day Damocles
was led into the palace, and all the
servants were hidden to treat him as
their master. He sat down at a table
in the banquet hall, and rich foods
we're placed before him. Nothing was
wanting that could give him pleasure.
There were costly wines, and beauti-
full flowers, and rare perfumes, and
delightful music. He rested himself
among soft cushions and felt that
he was the happiest man in all the
world.
Then he CHANGED to raise his eyes
toward the ceiling. What was it that
was dangling above him, with it's
point almost touching his head?
1t was a sharp sword, and it hung

there is a sword above your heard,
and that it may fall at any moment.
But why should that trouble you?
I have a sword over my head all the

"Let me CO." said Damocles. "I
see now that I was mistaken and
that the riches and the powerful are
not so happy as they SEEM. Let me
go back to my old home in the poor
little cottage among the mountains"
And so long as he lived he never
again wanted to be rich, or to change
places, even for a moment, with the
