Gath heard a new cure for wrinkles
rather a preventative-the other
day. A pleasant faced lady whose
face was like that of a young woman
of twenty, but whose silvered hair
indicates a good portion Of life's span
as passed, said she had often been
asked why she was not troubled with
wrinkles. and she had always said
she had been far too busy all her life
to take time to worry over her
troubles. Do you know there is a
world of philosophy in that remark ?
The average woman wears her face
into wrinkles fretting I'VE things that
new come to pass, over bridges long
before they have to be crossed, over
trif1es that vanish like mist before the
morning sun. just let troubles take
care of themselves. The lady men
toned had certainly profted by her
rule for, although a woman Of bust
ness. she was certainly care free,
meeting trouble when it arose, not be-
fore.

a game Of poker only worse, that peo-
pie no deal in grains are a set Of

true, however. It is a fact that gam

Trade Report.

Bradstreet's report says: Favorable
features last week are the annual rush
of Easter buying at retail, which is
reported of excellent volume, some
improvement in the reassorting de-
mand, with jobbers at interior markets
resulting therefrom, and slight but
still perceptible improvement in the
labor situation growing out of mutual
concessions. Prices during the month
of March showed exceptional strength,
despite seasonable changes downward
in dairy products, grains and fuel, part
ly counteracted, however, by advances
in livestock and meats. Lumber and
building materials of all kinds have re-
NAMED in exceptionally good demand
in spite of numerous strikes. Rail
road earnings are quite favorable.
The leather situation is generally
one Of strength.

pany with Major Pitcher, the acting

creek. There are more elk and deer
in this vicinity than in any other por-
tion Of the park; and where the big
game is most numerous there are also
to be found the most mountain lions.
The president will undoubtedly bag a
few lions. although it is not known

Postal Scandal.

There has appeared two important
developments in the investigation of
the affairs of the postoffice department.
The first was the filing of charges that
advance informationS has been fur
nished to wagonmakers regarding ru-
raj routes, and the other was the as
suance of an order to Postmaster Van
colt Of New York directing him 70
hold up all of the promotions and extra
clerk allowance cases recently an
nounced for the New York office for
the next fiscal year.
Fresh charges were filed by a west.
ern establishment engaged in the man
ufacture of vehicles, alleging that COM
peting houses had received the benefit
Of advance information regarding rural
tree delivery routes and the appoint
ment Of rural free delivery carriers.
The charges allege that the complain
ing company. upon the announcement
Of appointment of rural carriers, gave
instructions to their agents in various
sections to negotiate with them for
the sale of wagons, buggies or other
vehicles for use in performing the pos
tai service and that in a number OF
cases cited the agents made reply that
the carriers had previously procured
their outfits, sometimes, 1t is asserted,

AGAINST SECURITIES COMPANY
Decision Of United States Circuit
Court.

Decision of United States Circuit
Court.
The position Of the United States
government in the suit brought against
the Northern Securities company, the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways and Individual officers and di.
rectors Of these companies was sus.
/, tanned in the decision handed down in
the United States circuit court of ap.
peals in st. Paul. MINI.
The case was originally brought in
the United States district court here,
but under a special act of congress
was taken at once to the court of ap-
peals, which court was to expedite the
hearing and decision of the case N
every manner possible. The taking OF
testimony in this city and in New York
lasted for several weeks, and the argu-
ments in st. Louis before Circuit Cour,
Judges Caldwell, Sanborn. Thayer and
Vandeventer took several days. The
decision of the court was written by
Judge Thayer and was filed in this
city, where the original action was In
stituted. An appeal to the United
States supreme court will be taken i'm
tmediately.
All four judges concurred in the con
illusions Of the court, which were stat
ed by Circuit Court Judge Thayer as
follows:
"Ihis is bill, exhibited by the
United States, to restrain the violation
of an act of congress, approved July q
1890, entitled, AN act to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful re
straints and monopolies,' which Is com
monty termed the sherman antitrust
act"
Daniel s. Lamont, who is one of the
directors of the Northern Securities
company and vice president of the
Northern Pacific, says as long as the
railroads affected by the United States
CIRQUE court decision in the Northern
Securities case had never lost theiI
identity, even if the decision were
made final by the higher court, little
difference would result.
"These men who own and control
Northern Securities own and control
the Northern Pacific, Burlington &
Quincy and Great Northern. Whats
the difference? The Northern Securi.
ties company simply made it easier for
these men to run the roads,
Those close to Morgan admit the
probability that the railway merger
will be knocked out by the supreme
court.

This was the beginning of the latter's
fame as a writer. 1t is said that some
of the first stories which Nye pub
lished and which helped to make him
famous, were actual adventures OF
Root. A few years later, while both
men were connected with the Boom.
erang, Root, armed with a six shoot.
err, hunted for Nye for three weeks
with the avowed intention of killing
him. The trouble was caused by Nye

which Root figured a bit too con.
spicuously to his own liking.
AS a catcher of wild animals, Roof
