General Scheme Is Correct.

General Scheme Is Correct. "Of course, the general scheme of legls- latlon to correct trust abuses should be developed with great care, for 1t is not nearly so important to act quickly, as to act wisely. Primarily the question of the power of congress to reach with the sherman act seems to have missed should be .authorltatively determined as upon that proposition the whole structure of effective regulatve legisla- ton must rest.

Blue Blazes planted himself for a
sudden whirl, stretched his neck as far
as possible and worked his upper lip

lured him on. Hardly had he touched
his nose to the grain before the meas

roughly grabbed by the forelock. In

Driving Twelve Horses.

Here is an arithmetical problem for
you: If it is great fun to drive one
horse, how much fun is it to drive
twelve horses? 1t is quite a natural
answer to say twelve times as much
fun, but If you were to ask me 1 should
say divide enc by twelve, and you will
have a more correct answer. Think of
it-twelve horses to manage at once!
That is sight saw few days ago.

Animals Are Sensitive.

1.-THE fact that horse is sensitive to
ridicule,'' said student of the biolog-
ical department of the University oe
Pennsylvania, may easily be demon
strated. Take, for instance, the case of
a horse that is eating out of a nosebag
If you stand in front of such horse,
attract his attention, and then, with
loud laughter, mock his way of feed
ing, he will stop, with look of en-
barrassment and shame, and he will
not resume his meal until you are gone
away.
Dogs also object to being laughed
at. Make fun Of them and they will
cease whatever they are doing. 1t is
only when they are in fight that they
will remain impervious to the shafts
of mockery."- Philadelphia Post.

The Human Body.

A pupil in a village school who had
been requested to write an essay on
the human body handed in the follow
ing: "The human body consists of the
head, thorax, abdomen and legs The
head contains the brains, in case there
are any. The thorax contains the
heart and lungs; also the liver and
lights. The abdomen contains the
bowels, of which there are five-a, e, l.,
o, u and sometimes W and y. The
legs extend from the abdomen to the
floor and have hinges at the top and
middle to enable fellow to sit when
standing or to stand when sitting"
