had been inaugurated because some of
the directors were friends of the King.
1t turned out, however that such was
not the case. The Attorney General
said that in his judgment the law did
not reach Wright.
Some of the swindled stockholders.
however. took a different view, and
they raised fund by subscription for
bringing him to justice. II it were pos
sible to do so. And. finally, a resolu-
ton was passed instructing the re-
ceiver of the corporation to use any
funds coming into his possession for
the prosecution of Wright.
II is . little strange that in England,
where there is so much promoting
done, much of which is of a question
able character, if reports are correct,
the law is so lax in respect TO the re-
spOnsibility OF directors of companies.
Wright isn't an Englishman. He is
an American, and a number of years
ago he was a resident of Haverford,
one of the suburbs of Philadelphia. 1t
is stated in dispatches from Washing
ton that our government will make no
resistance to Wright's extradition,
even though it should appear that he
is an American, either native or nat
uralized. Is that position taken by
the Department of State because of
efforts being made by our government
to secure the extradition of Greene and
Gaynor?

The Boy Won.

The infant had been put to bed
against his will. and, having got there,
showed no inclination to go to sleep,
says the New York Post. He called
his mother in to kiss her good night
once more. to give him a glass of
water, to put another cover on the bed,
to tell her something very important,
to ask her how to spell North Caro-
lima, and to explain why he happen
ed to be her little boy instead of Aunt
Bertha's. Finally she rebelled.
You simply must go to sleep" she
commanded sternly. II shall not
come into this room again tonight"
She retired to the next room, and, be-
fore long he called her.
mo, I'm not coming. Nothing will
induce me to come to you again."
"Ill bet I can make you come"
boosted the youngster.
'Ill bet you can't" replied the exas-
perated parent
There was a pause, and then the
small voice, raised to its utmost ex-
exclaimed: 1.-The devil and all his
works."
He won his bet.

An Imaginative Accompaniment.

Massenet, the French composer, has
the intuition of genius, says the
Youths Companion. He can interpret
to others what he does not himself
fully understand. One evening Mrs.
Fanny Reed. the singer. was reading
aloud to a friend Mrs. Greenough's
beautiful poem, Mary Magdalene."
Both the women We're so absorbed
that they did not notice the presence
of a third person until suddenly the
sound of soft music stole through the
room. Some one was at the piano,
accompanying the readers voice in a
manner harmonizing with the rhythm
and spirit of the poetry.
1t was the music of Massenet's ora
torio. The player was Massenet him
and caught the idea of the words
where the Magdalene. seeking her
Lord by night, finds herself beneath
the windows of the room where the
disciples are gathered for the Last
Supper.
When the reading was over, Mas
senet rose from the piano and came
forward. He had no knowledge of
English; yet had he understood every
word he could not have accompanied
the poem more eXquisitely.
How did you know what 1 was
reading?" asked Mrs. Reed.
How could l fail to know?" he
answered.
Doubtless he had caught the one
word "Magdalene," and intuition had
supplied the rest.

A CAUSE OF Discomfort.

A great cause of discomfort, especial
ly among wage earners, is the immense
and rapidly increasing wealth of the
trust magnates. The New York papers
at least some of them-are constant
ly calling attention to the wealth of
the Rockefellers and particularly to
their income from the Standard Oil
Company. In Sundays World, for in
stance, it is stated, and emphasized with
sensational headlines, that the income
of John d. Rockefeller from the
Standard Oil Company for the last
three months was $S,OOO.OOO. and that
his income from that source alone for
the last ninety days was SIS, SSSSs each
day.
When the wage Garner sees state
ments like this his thought lis that he
isn't getting his share of the prosperi-
~ which the country is enjoying. In
deed, it is probable that IL there were
not such large profits from investments
in the prosperous corporations there
would be fewer strikes.
There is no objection of course to
publishing the profits OF corporations
and the incomes Of millionaires. but
there is no occasion for reiterating the
facts unless there Is purpose 10 bring
about legislation 10 prevent eKorbitant
prices or 10 keep fortunes within GER
tain limits. The constant reference 20
the big fortunes does no nood On the
contrary d does positive harm IL
Keeps the ioiler smarting under sense

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
"Dr. Graham Taylor is right in say
ing that labor unions have as much
right to restrict the number of ap-
prentices in a trade as you believers
in protection have in placing protec-
tive tariff upon imported goods. The
unions restrict the right of boys to fol-
low the pursuits of their choice in
which they probably can earn most.
The protectionists restrict the rights
of the people to buy where they can
get the most for their money. Both
restrict rights which should be pro-
tected, not trampled upon, by the
laws"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: The Cars ukase of re-
forms in Russia may be criticised, pos
sibly, as being an uncertain thing I'M
til the reforms are actually carried in
to effect. 1t can be said, however, that
a personal pledge by the Gar is much
more likely to be redeemed than the
promises embodied in party platforms
in America. Our party pledges often
are mere humbug; in the recent Con-
gress Mr.. Hanna openly said that no
one was under any obligation to re-
spect them. The Cars decree will get
carried out before the Philadelphia
platform"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: Judge Tuley OF Chicago is one
of the most respected jurists in the
West. and he has frankly expressed his
disapproyal Of the Wabash injunction.
We judges he says. are getting to
be the whole thing IN government a.
Is time 10 call a halt lie thinks the
issue Of such injunctiOns tends 10 bring
the administration Of justice into cOn-
tempt II b. 20 be- hoped that on the
hearing Judge Adams viii make ID
clear that he does not attempt - en-
join the men from striking and that
the Interference win the traffic q the
road, from which BE- restrained the
men, De- unlawful Interference"

An Expressive Sentence.

Hon. James Beck, assistant attorney
general, tells the following story of
an argument made by a rural barrister
before a justice in a court in Pennsyl-
vania, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
The case was one in which the plain
tiff sought to recover damages from
a railroad company for the killing of
a COW. During the course of his argu-
ment, the country lawyer used this ex-
pressive sentence:
IF the train had been run as it
should have been ran, or if the bell
had been rung as it should have been
rang, or if the whistle had been blown
as it should have been blew, both of
which they did neither, the COW would
not have been injured when she was
killed"

Odd Marriage Notices.

In searching the files of some old
papers recently, says Printers Ink, the
writer came across some very unique
marriage notices which are we'll worth
preserving. 1t was customary for the
editor to make some personal allusion
to the wedding, not in the news col
umn, but Immediately following the
announcement. Sometimes friends
would attach gags and queer doggerel.
very uncomplimentary to the newly
welded pair, and some of the editorial
comments were enough to place him in
peril had it not been that the bride
groom rarely saw the notice until long
after the honeymoon had waned
In the New York weekly Muse
UNI for June 1, 1914, appeared the
following:
"On Saturday, May IA, at Charlton.
Luther Marble to Miss Sophia Stone"
To which the editor appended the
words:
"A very cold. hard match"
In the New Haven "Athenaeuln'' of
Aug. s, 1914, there appeared a notice
which naturally attracted attention
ness of the names of all parties con-
cerned. The editor, evidently a wag,
appended a few words, the whole
reading as follows:
Married at Peterville, Aug. 1. by
the Rev. DR.. Cannon, Mr.. G. Powder
to the amiable and accomplished Miss
Sparks.
"(Ed.-We are apprehensive that
Sparks, among such combustibles as
these. will produce an explosion at

following nuptial notice:

During his present foreign tour Sousa
seems to be gaining a reputation as
a wit, says an exchange. Two weeks
ago he and his company were giving
concerts in Ireland and after one of
the performances in Cork the audience,
refusing to be satisfied with the usual
encore" bow, kept clamoring for a
speech.
Finally Sousa stepped to the front of
the platform, and, raising his hand
said impressively, Ladies and gentle
men, can you all hear me?"
There was the usual Yes"
Then l wish you all good night,
replied the conductor and promptly
walked off the stage.
