pioneer Methodist preacher Of Alabama,

bureau, and with the money bought a
new hat. The following Sunday Brother
Mathews, being disturbed at the begin
ming of his discourse by several of the
congregation turning to see the late ar
rivals, said:
Brethren and sisters, don't bother to
look around any more; I'll tell you who
comes in"
This he did, calling each one by name.

members. His wife was among the last,
and when she walked down the aisle he
said:

THE CRIMSON DICE. BY George Nox Mccain.
philadelphia ]. Murray Jordan South Penn
Square. Illustrated. Price 81. So
This story may appropriately be de-
scrlbed as thrilling. It is about a rich
young American, an exhumed bronze box
containing an ancient letter in Latin
from Roman centurian and three dice
and terrible blood penalty attached to
the dice, whose marks were crimson. The
dice box and letter were found in the hand
OF an exhumed Roman centurian who was
caught in the molten lava when Pompeii
was destroyed nineteen centuries ago.
Jack Breslin bribed the workmen to get
MIN the box, which he opened and found
the dice, which were always accompanied
by fearful power Of evil and evil fol-
lowed Breslin from the time he got the
dice. The letter in the box showed that
the dice were those Of SOLDIERS used In
gambling for Christ's garments at the
cruc1hxion. Breslin was satisfied that
they were the identical dice and aban-
doned his skepticisn1. There is a love cpl
sode and startling and dramatic situations
abound. The author is original in his
plot and his rare descriptive powers. The
action IS incessant. 1t is gratifying to
know that Judith Stenton, Breslin's
sweetheart, hurled the crimson dice into
the depths Of the sea. ~

The American Federationist notes that
in March all the cabinetmakers OF Auck-
land, New Zealand, were locked out In
consequence of the arbitration court rails
ing their wages. The employers decided
to discontinue manufacturing and there
after import all furniture required. Under
the New Zealand law an employer must
either comply with the decree Of the
court of arbitration or go, out Of business.
Evidently that is why the cabinetmakers
concluded to take the latter course. There
have been many threats since the arbi-
tration law went into effect that employ
ers would shut up their works instead Of
submitting to the decree, but this Is the
first instance in which the threat has been
carried out. The Federationist accepts
this incident as proof of the unwisdom Of
compulsory arbitration.

Julius Junius Montague, D. D. S., OF
Boston. injured his health by hard work
| and was advised by his physician to travel.
He did SO; and one day, during his pere-
CARNATIONS, found himself at Mckinley $
Hotel in Red Gulch. What brought him
there he did not quite know. Neither did
he care; for, after looking around the town
| and viewing his Accommodations at the
hotel, his main desire was to get away. q
While waiting for the stage Mr.. Monta-
que conceived the idea of calling upon the
leading dentist Of the town. He was di-
rected to Jake Nifkins office, over Red
Headed Jimnlie's saloon.
When julius Junius Montague, D. D. S.,
of Boston, entered the office Of Jake Nif-
kin, toothjerker of Red Gulch, he found
the proprietor tilted back in chair smok-
ing a black pipe, with glass of gin and
molasses before him. The furniture of
the room consisted Of a big armchair, a
pair of pincers, a mallet and several coils
of rope. AS Mr.. Montagle opened the door
he was conscious Of a long, glittering re-
volver barrel being pointed in his direc-
LlOn. he was ABOUT to retire rapidly when
the revolver suddenly dropped and Mr..
Nifkin remarked alphabetically:

and operused it slowly.

Dr. Montague explained that D. D. S.
stood for Doctor Of Dental Surgery-that
he was a dentist.

In spite of the doctors approximations

nicality.
So much for the Securities company and
the states antitrust law
In passing on the claim that the North
ern Securities company by effecting the
virtual consolidation of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern has violated the
Minnesota law of 1874 forbidding the con-
solidation Of parallel and competing rail-
way lines, the Judge reasons much as on
the other point. *> :
He puts implicit. trust in the super
fetal aspect Of things, in words, rather
than their meaning. He finds that the
act of 1874 prohibited such consultations
to railroad corporations, to lessees of rail-
road corporations, to purchasers of rail-
road corporations and to managers of
railroad corporations. With technical ac-
curacy he insists that the Northern Sc
curities company Is in none Of these
classes, and hence has not violated the
law-no matter what it has been the in
strumentality of accomplishing
Right here the difference between the
two courts Is beautifully illustrated. The
circuit court of appeals would have said
that the Minnesota legislature intended
to forbid the consolidation Of parallel and
competing railway lines. The fact that
two such roads had passed into common
ownership would be enough for it. The
law had been violated, it would say,
therefore there must be violator. Judge
Lochren goes at it the other way. He
says that under the terms of the law
there is no violator, therefore the ques-
toned act cannot be in violation Of the
law. -, ... ~. H.. ... IS.
On this point of violation Of the state
law of 1874, it is worth while to note that
Judge Lochren's decision is now the law.
The circuit court of appeals did not deal
with that question, tho it did say that
as a general proposition, the two roads
had been consolidated. Unless an appeal
should reverse Judge Lochren, therefore,
we are cons strained to find that the law OF
1874 is now a dead letter. It would be
worth while for the state to carry it's case
up to get the last word on this question
even tho the supreme courts opinion In
the appeal Of the case tried before the
court Of appeals will determine the future
relation of the two railway companies.
In view Of the impotence to which such
conclusions as Judge Lochren has arrived
at would reduce government in dealing
with the multitude Of attempts to accom-
plish by indirection what it is forbidden
to do directly, it is to be hoped that the
supreme court will take the same ad-
vanced ground that the circuit court Of
appeals did. Affirmation Of Judge Loeb.
ren's conclusion would make the whole
nation the easy prey Of those numerous
and generally INSCRIPTIONS persons wht
are looking for a safe way to get around
the law" It puts the game in their con.
troll, for it places a premium on lega
artful dodging.
