with him. He niver paid his debts an none iv tn neighbors' chickens was safe firm him. He was low down, worthless, mischief-makin' loafer. But Casthro's bad char ackter did not excuse tn other pris 'ners. It seems that Casthro, who niver paid anybody amy thing, owed a bill to tn we'll known firm iv Schwartzheim an Hicks, which he rayfused to set tie. Hearin' iy this, Hohenzollern an Edward or Edwards con-spired together to go to Casthro's place undher pretinse iY collectin' th' bill an throw Casthro out an take posission iv his property. Hohen- zollern was tn more vi'lent iv tn pair. He appeared carryin' loaded rayvolvers, which he fired into tn windows iv Casthro's shop, smashed in tn dure an endan- gered tn lives iv nanny innocint people. He was ar-risted afther a struggle in which he severely in- jured wan iv tn international polls foorce an was carried off in hurry-up wagon. Edward or Ed wards was saught in tn neighbor- hood. He pretinded to be an in- nocint spectator, but whin sarched was found to have loaded rayvolv-
 CTS in his pocket as well as an address to tn Christian nations iy tn wurrld justifyin' his conduck an denouncin' his accomplice. Casthro was taken into custody on gin'ral principles. Tn prosecution asked that an example be made iv tn pris'ners. Afther tistymony had been inthrojooced showin' tn bad charackter iv tn men in the dock, Hohenzollern was put on tn stand to testify in his own deflnse. He swore that he had no inmity again Casthro. but Schwartzheim an Hicks was German frind iv his an he wint down to see that no injustice was done him. Did he ask ye to go?" ast tn coort.

"Niver, niver shud 1t be said that a German citizen shan't be able to collect his debts anywhere but in Germany" he says. 9Th mailed fist" he says, 'is iver raised fir tn protiction---" "No more iv that" says tn judge.

 Finally they arranged their sep arate Schedules so that they did not see much of each other and they began to get along all right. Occasionally they had a slight Diff ference, but they could always patch it up. For instance, she se- lected Aubrey De Courcey as Name for the First Born while he held out for Bill, so they had to compromise on Aubrey De Cour- cey.

NCE there was a Happy N Young Pair, each of M Jj whom got stuck on the W Photograph of the other, thereupon a Marriage was ar raneed by Mail.
 Shortly after taking the Life Risk they started in to get ac- Quainted. Up to the time that they moved into the Arcadian Flats and began to take Orders from the Janitor, he never had seen little Sunshine except in her Evening Frock.
 He had a sort of sneaking sus- picion that she arose every Morn ing already attired in a Paris Gown and all the Diamonds.
 And she supposed that he went to the Office every Day in his reg uiar John Drew Regalia with the Concertina Hat.
 After she began to see Hubby around the Flat in his Other Clothes the Horrible Truth dawned upon her that he was not such a
  in the Bunko Photograph.
 Sometimes on Rainy Sundays he would cut out the Morning Service and decide not to Shave and then when she got a good long Look at him, she would begin to doubt her own Judgment.
 And so far as that Is concerned, there were Mornings, after they had been out Late to Welsh Rab- bit Party, when she was fairly hard to look at.
 Loves Young Dream was handed several goshawful Whacks about the Time that they started in to get Line on each other.
 For instance, the first Morning at Breakfast it came out, that her Idea of Dainty Snack with which to usher in the Day was Lettuce Sandwich, Couple of Olives and Child's Cup full of Cocoa while he wanted $S5 worth of Ham and Eggs, stack of ,Griddle Cakes and a Tureen of Coffee.
 She was a case of Ambrosia and Nectar and he was plain old Ham and Spinach.
 It used to give her Mysteries to hear him bark at an Ear of Green Corn, at the same time making a Sound like a Dredge.
 For Dinner she liked a little Consomme en Tasse and then a Nice Salad, while he insisted on a Steak the size of Lap Robe and German Fried to come along.
 They did not Mocha and Java at all on their Reading Matter. She liked Henry James and Wal ter Pater and he preferred Horse Papers and the Comic Supplement. Sometimes when she would wan der off into the Realms of Poesy he would follow her as far as he could and then sit down and wait for her to get through rambling and come back.
 If they took in a Show she was always plugging for Mrs. Fiske or Duse, while he claimed that Rog- CTS Brothers were better than Booth and Barrett had been in their Prime.
 She could sweep over a Tolsti Serenade and he would walk a Mile at any time to see a good Buck Dance.
 When they got around to fixing up Invitatich Lists there was more or less Geeing and Having.
 All of his Friends belonged to the High-Binder Division. Their only Conception of Happy Even ing was to put the Buck in the Center of the Table, break a fresh Pack and go out for Blood.

Of these men who were first elected to

quite a little difference in holding a dis

was considerable difference in the aspect
of the various county offices thirty years
ago and the present time. Some of the
officers refused to have their records in
the county building at that time and had
an office uptown.

NO RADICAL MEASURES.
Republicans Handling Work in Cau-
tious Manner.

| Washington. Jan. 12.-Following the
| conference at the White House last night
| amended by Senator Aldrich and Speaker
| Henderson, there has been a great deal
| OF discussion today among the Republic
| cans of the senate as to the prospects of
| antitrust legislation during this session
Of congress. The conclusion reported is
| that some measure will be passed. There
| win be no radical legislation" said one
prominent Republican senator, but a
| measure embodying some features of the
Knox bill may be passed. The Republi-
I cans are not going to accept any or
everything that is offered. nor will they
ahdicate TO the minority to dictate what
shall be done. 1t will be some time. how
ever, before the trust bills are taken up
and senator's will have to inform them
selves of all phases of the subject before
bill is brought before the senate.
Another prominent senator said he
thought there should be legislation this
session. not the bill introduced by Mr..
Hoar, but more in the nature of sugges-
tons made by Attorney General Knox.
One feature of the Knox bill that was
favorably considered was that which pro-
vides for the punishment of the person or
corporation which received rebates as
well as the carrier or corporation that
gave them.
I'm the senate committee on judiciary
today the question of trust legislation was
taken up briefly. and Senators Hoar,
Fairbanks and Nelson, Republicans, and
Pettus and Turner. Democrats, were APP
pointed subcommittee to consider the
subject in detail. Senator Hoar said that
if the house of representatives should act
al any day his bill would become the
house measure, but if it became apparent
that there was to be delay in the house
he would call the committee together to
act independently of the house. There
was no discussion of the subject in the
committee, but so far as opinions Were
expressed by members they were favor
able to action.
An antitrust III will be reported to the
house judiciary comittee at the meeting
Friday by the subcommittee of which
Representative Littlefield is chairman.
This statement was made today. The
ub-committee will meet tomorrow when
the bills drawn by Attorney General Knox
and introduced by the chairman of the
judiciary committee. but which the COM
mittee has advised were intended to be
Of the nature of supplemental sugges-
tons, will be compared with the bill al
ready drafted by the subcommittee. An
effort will be made to have the bill re-
ported to the judiciary committee on Fri
day and reported out of that committee
az the earliest possible day, in order that
it may be taken up for action in the
house without delay, thus giving the
senate time to act. Members of Mr. Lit
tlefield's subcommittee. il is stated, eX-
pect their bin as ii will go to the full
committee. to be acceptable to the admin
istration and TO have he support of the
leaders of the house. There is reason to
believe that Attorney General Knox will
be conferred before the subcommittee
finally adopts a bill for report TO the full
committee
