them. Take the United States
Steel Corporation, for instance,
and see what has happened. The
officials of that gigantic trust seem
actually to be proud of the num-
Der of victims they have fleeced in
the past year. They continue to
give out boasting statements of the
rapidly increasing number of it's
stockholders, though tits appar-
ent to the most casual observer
that every man who invested in
these stocks since they were placed
on the market has lost money.
The total shrinkage is more than
80 points on both common and
preferred stocks. 1t takes $780,
100000 to measure the loss of the
victims of this trust, and still the
spider continues to sit in his little
parlor and lure his victims and still
they come and have the life-blood
sucked out of them. A statement
was given out the other day that
the number of holders of this stock
had increased over 5000 in the past
three months. During this in
crease of over 5000 in the number
of holders of common stock in this
corporation it sunk from 30 to 20 a
share, and two days more it had
gone down to Is. Thus, some who
bought three months ago have
already lost one-third of their in
vestment.
These highway robbers are play
ing a game like the niggers' coon
trap-it catches 'em a comm and
a goin.' They rob the purchasers
of their product in this country
where they charge more than they
do foreigners, because the tariff
wall gives them the privilege, and
they rob the buyers of their stock
by manipulation on Wall Street.
Yet this is the delectable gang of
unconscionable scoundrels who are
every day held up to us as the
paragons of business integrity and
to whom we must bow in all our
national elections; that we must
select candidates who are accept
able to this gang of thieves. If the
Democracy does so it deserves de-
feat.
In these times of trust prosperity
let the man with a fixed income,
such as clerks and wage-earners,
whose incomes do not increase
with the increase in the cost of
living, ask themselves how much
of the prosperity they are getting
out of the times. ,If the answer is
satisfactory then let them con-
tinue to vote the Republican ticket
and "stand pat" with the trusts
who are shouting that as their
battle cry in the campaign that is
approaching. Let them "stand
pat" and continue to 'slet well
enough alone" and they will con-
tinue to pay high prices for their
living and their salaries and wages

Used Cats for Poker Chips
This Story Tells Truthful and WAY How Pete Smelling
the Cat Poker western New How
Old Man Booker Went Broke Two Pair Queens High

The strangest poker game ever played
/ in western New York was fought out
two weeks ago by Pete Smelling, OF
Hamlin, N. Y, better known as the
Cat Hermit" and "Old Man" Booker,
OF Clarkson. likewise a recluse and
something of cat fancier. The two
I men live about one mile apart, with
the town line between them. 1t was
in reality town against town, with cats
, for chips.
/ The game grew out of professional
| jealousy, as each of the players pre-
tended to be the boss hermit in point
of years. hard luck and number of cats
Last August Old Man Booker happened
to meet Pete at the village store, and
among other things declared that when
it came to poker he could make Pat
Sheedy hunt cover.
| II am strong on it," he announced.
I'm husky. haven't played for
years, just because l know there is
no one hefty enough to make it utter
esting."
IF you dig up my past. you'll find
I'm quite cuss with the pasteboards,
/ myself" said Pete
Dare you to meet me-" cried the
old man.
"Im for that. What shall we play
| for?" asked Pete.
| Old Man Booker scratched his rough
chin and thought deeply. Then he had
an inspiration
"How are you fixed for cats?" he
! asked.
Got about so, and 20 kittens" re-
piled Pete.
"All right, let's play for CATS" said
Booker.
So it was agreed, and two weeks ago
the game was pulled of. Booker col
! lected his feline assets and carted them
over to Pete's tumble-down farmhouse.
Pete had his chips meowing and spit
ting In an empty room and no time was
lost in bringing out a greasy deck of
cards, and the game began on a kitten
ante and two-cat limit.
On the first hand Pete straddled the
ante for one cat, but his boost began to
eat up Booker's kittens.
! m not going to lose my edge that
way, declared Booker. 'If you want to
night cats I've got some thoroughbreds in
that crate"
A compromise was effected by bring
ing in two big boxes with stout covers.
one for kittens and one for cats. Booker
refused to play and Pete pulled down
the stakes.
On Booker's deal it went into lack
pot and both put up kitten, as neither
had openers.
| Change cat for me" requested Pete
! Booker pushed two kittens across the
&, board.
J On the next deal Booker opened for two
cats and Pete drew cards and boosted
he sweeting one kitten. Booker drew

would grab the limit by the necks and
toss them into the pot.

or seal up the cards until you can raise
more cats. It's a shame. to take your
cats. | wish you'd call me-"
Not by long chalk. Smell. I'll never
lay down on this hand. I'll die first.
Give me ten hours to hustle in for more
cats and then We'll show up"
This was agreed to and inside of six
hours Booker drove up with 20 cats and
six kittens. The limit was raised and
the whole bunch of furry chips were de-
posted in the fighting cat-pot, and the
cards were unsealed.
Thus, says the New York Sun. did
Smelling win the cat-poker championship
of western New York and incidentally
break Old Man Booker.

tremendous weight and momentum, the
