The Young Man Who Drinks.

To the young man who drinks the
great railroad corporations say, "Noth-

When some large factory advertises for
competent men and the answer is "Pass

answer comes back rejected" knock
at the door of good society and hear
the answer, "Not at home," over the
gates of eternal kingdom is written

What then shall become of the young
man who drinks? The education of the
past generation has closed all responsi-

must either work by the day or take
some menisl position where brains and
character are not essential; no good

course for the young man of today who
intends to make anything of himself

Mr.. Bryan's attention has been calle

Mr.. Bryan's attention has been called
to some advertising matter which re-
presents that he, in connection with
several senators, was interested in
Wyoming oil lands. This statement
was denied at the time it was first
printed year ago last summer, but the
fact that an oil company has used the
notice that appeared then as the basis of
an advertisement, leads to this second de-
niaI. Mr.. Bryan has not. he says, and new
er has had an interest in any oil wells.
oillands or oil fields He is not interested
in any business enterprise except The
Commoner. He has studiously avoided
taking stock in corporations even where
1t was offered as gift or at reduced
rates, and his reason for refusing Is that
he has no time to give to such invest
ments and does not feel that it would
be fair to allow his name to be used as
stockholder unless he was in position
to look after the affairs of the com
pany and protect the interests of those
who might be led to invest on account
of his connection with the company. AS
this notice is given for the protection
of the public, Mr.. Bryan would be glad
to have 1t circulated as widely as possi-
bic.

Aspell of Blues

Say, do you ever get the blues. the reg'lar old

When nothing here nor nowheres else Is what
you want, and you get blind
To every mortal blessing that The Lord has sent
you here hcloT.
When NIL the tl,wers seem &, fade and only
weeds snd th!stles grow
A man can't toll Just why he feels so mighty
lonesome like at times,
Why everything Is jaDgled So and not thlus
In nature rhymes.
You're neither sick nor well. a sort OF weak and
weary half and half.
You don'tfeel bad enough to cry, and yet you
wouldn't dare TO laugh.
The birds seem to sing In some shrill compass
not at all their own
And brooks go babbllng III 3 sad and melan-
choly undertune
And everythlng's as miserable as breaking in
new pair Of shoes.
While pleasure turns her face away from him
who has spell OF the blues.
The sun may shine and, yet you see gloomy
shadow everywhere.
And meatows full! of clover all look very lone
some-,ike and bare.
A SAD and misty far away OF sorrow kind OF
dims the eyes,
Youte just ehoek full OF misery and wouldn't
have 1t otherwise.
1t isn't very often that get spell of feeling
bad
Because to me life l., a Joy and nearly all my
days are glad
But have sympathy for these who now and
then their sunshine lcse
Who Just SIT down aud bite their thumb and
cultivate Il spell OF blues.

The Coal Merger.
fFrom the New York World

(From the New York Worldly
Ten cents ton was on Friday added
by every dealer In the city to the price
of coal. A similar "automatic increase
will be made on the first day of each
month during the summer at the nod Of
a single man, George F. Baer, the rul
ing spirit of the coal merger.
The recent testimony of Mr.. Baer be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission frankly explains how the price
of great necessity of life may be thus
manipulated with unerring certainty.
The six coal roads mine 80 per cent. of
all the anthracite produce in Pennsyl-
vania; the other 20 per cent. they con-
troll almost as absolutely. Ifsn .'inde-
pendent" operator wished to send his
coal to tidewater and sell 1t at his own
price, the railroad, at once common
carrier and competitor, would charge
him 35 cents ton more than the cost
of carriage when he sells to the railroad
at the mine. Therefore he sells. The
railroads market all the coal. This is
monopoly unmitigsted.
There was once great colliery COM
pany that planned an independent rail
road to take coal to salt water. Mr.
Baer explained how this threatened
competition was frustrated. He bought
small concern, the Temple Iron Com
pany, mainly for its charter, which
would permit 1t to hold the collieries Of
the company which was to be "got ou'
of the anthracite situation" The rail
road companies agreed to guarantee th,
stock and bonds Of the Temple Com
pany, enlarged SO that it could swallow
the ambitious competitor. Thus tn
great Temple Company, nominally
separate organization. practically tn
creature and the property of the "coa
railroads" became the vast tool of mo
nopoly which tits to day. And the 81:
coal roads in this transaction reyeale
their substantial unity for "killIng com
petition and capitalizIng monopoly"
Mr.. Baer is an interesting witness
His testimony goes far to explain tn
general expectation that an early NOV
of Attorney General Knox in his can
paign against mergers may be of 81

Horace Mann says: You are made
to be kind, boys; generous, magnani-
nous. If there is a boy in school who
has Il clubfoot, don't let him know you
ever saw it. If there is boy with
ragged clothes, don't talk about rags
within his hearing. If there is hun
cry one, give him part of your dinner.
If there is dull one, help him to get
his lessons. If there is Il bright one, be
not envious of him, or if one boy is
proud of his talents and another boy is
envious of them, there are two great
wrongs and no more talent than be-
fore. If n larger or stronger boy has in
jured you and is sorry for it, forgive
him"

LITTLE BuNNY's SECRET.
The story of Pair of slippers For

The story of n Pair of slippers For
Mammals birthday.
Mamma, I've got secret-a big
one said little Bunny. Its somefn'
about you and sometin' about your
birthday. Don't you want to know
it?"
"No," said mamma. II can wait"
Bunny was silent half minute,
thinking how strange it must be to be
grown up and willing 70 wait. Then
she began again:
Mamma, may l go and see Aunty
Lou? She's going to show me how to
make somefin'."
Mamma said "Yes." and Bunny
stayed at Aunty Louis two or three
hours. At dusk she came home, carry
ing something carefully wrapped in q
white napkin.
"oh, mamma, shut your eyesw cried
Bunny.
So mamma closed her eyes while the
little bundle was carried upstairs. Bun
ny was very quiet ut the tea table, till
at last she asked:
W hiNh Sou ilhS pGol,
pink and white or blue and white?"
II think l prefer pink and white"
said mamma.
.That's just what Aunty Lou said
you would like" said Bunny trium-
phantly.
The next morning when mamma put
Bunny's bed to air ball of white
yarn and n ball of pink rolled out
from under the pillow. Mamma put
them carefully bnck in the white nap
kin which she found there and tried
not to see the work which was folded
inside It.
After that mamma found this napkin
all over the house and in all sorts Of
| places. Sometimes it was under the
tall old clock, sometimes it was behind
the scarf on the big armchair, some
times there was queer bunch In the
table cover and when mamma tried to
smooth it. 10, there was the white nap
kin again! If mamma had not been too
honorable to peep, she might have seen
Bunny's secret twenty times day.

alone upstairs very often, and when
she heard mamma coming she would
call, please don't come in, mammal

borrowed mammals slippers and car

the farmer will be very apt to conclude
that there is nothing too good for the
brood SOW. Every farmer will be anx-
ious to push his pigs onward SO as to
get the benefit of the high prices before
the supply of hogs can be made equal
to the demand. He is very likely to
overdo this and feed his brood sows
everything they will eat and that which
comes hsndiest, which is most likely
corn. Bear in mind that if you are to
succeed In growing pigs, there are three
or four things that nature demands
most imperatively: First, a milk or flesh
forming ration for the brood SOW both
before and after farrowing. She can
not make bricks without straw, she can
not furnish living compound of water
ana gristle and flesh without flesh
forming material in her food. She re-
quires milk ration afterwards; the
same ration in grain that you give the
milk COW and all the rape, clover and
other grasses that she can eat.
In addition to all this she needs exer
/ else. aud the pasture is therefore one
of the essentials of the farm. She needs
sunlight, and the pigs need it a great
deal more, for without sunlight, and
plenty of 1t, there is no possible show
of making six months old pigs
weigh 200 pounds or eight months pigs
weigh $50 pounds and ready for the
Chicago market.
An over supply of corn or any othel
kind of feed with deficiency of exer
else, will lead to disorders among the
little fellows that can not be readily
checked. Thumps will be the plsgu.

chaps will turnthe wrong way; they
will have sore mouths; their tails will

thereto; sunlight and plenty of exercise
