an Oklahoma paper. That evening
a. church officer waited on him with
$50 in cash. The next morning when
The congregation assembled, two wags
stood before the church and one bet
the minister would thank the Lord for
the money first and the other bet
he would thank Him first for the baby.
When the reverend gentleman arose
to pray, he said: Lord, we desire
also to thank Thee for this timely
succor," and the boys are yet unde-

A WARNING
TO CAPITAL
B. Dll'S Counter
Statement to DdrrOw'S
"Warning."

MINNEAPOLIS. June 11.-Close upon
the heels of Clarence S. Darrow's
warning to labor comes a warning to
capital from James B. Dill.
friend and one of it's greatest cham
pinos. Dill speaks to capital as n
of the foremost corporation lawyers in
America, an attorney who engineers
the gigantic deals of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan. He gave this warning in a
speech made at the commencement of
the University of Minnesota, or the
subject: Outlook for the College
Graduate in America"
A comparison of the speeches shows
some interesting concurences in con-
illusions which are arrived at from an
tithetical points of view, foremost
among them being the fact that Meth
er labor nor capital is the dominating
factor in the social scheme. but the
great midle class, vaguely referred to
as the public"
For instance Mr.. Dill says:
The middle class is the controlling
element of this country and sooner or
later, if these eveils tend to increase
we shall have legislation, if nothing
more serious, looking to the checking
of combinations"
k. narrau, nvnrncand tho SamQ
view in these words:
THE great class OF men who are the
consumers and who stand neither in
the relation of monopolist C trad,
un.onist will insist that through the
ev dictionary movements of society
their condition shall be made better.
To put up the price of commodities
and the cost of labor means little to
the workingmen, but it means plumber
to the great mass of men who cannot
properly be placed in either camp
The two definitions of corporations
are surprisingly similar, considering
that one IN from a friend and the
OIner from I'll dNOWeu cucHiys MI
Darrow's definition is as follows;
THE natural recovery of business,
the waste of energy and men and ma
terial in warfare. the wonderful i'm
provement of machinery and new
methods OF production have stimulat-
ed the formation Of great corporations
and trusts. These powerful institu-
tions use their control of industrial
institutions to enrich themselves.
This was accomplished by putting up
prices. And increasing prices is only
brought about by limiting produc-
ton"
Mr.. Dill's description is even more
stringent:
The unexampled prosperity OF this
country has tempted men of two
classes, who by no means constitute
the majority of those classes, 10 at

than their share OF prosperity. and by

eTHE Princess Yetiye had not
finched a hairs breadth from
the resolution formed on that
stormy night when she sacri-
feed pride and duty on the altar OF
love and justice. Prince Bolaroz's uld-
matum overwhelmed her, but she arose
from the wreckage that was strewn
about her conscience and remained
loyal, steadfast and true to the man in
the monastery. To save his life was
all she could hope TO accomplish, and
this she was bound to do at any cost.
She could be nothing to him. not even
friend. So long as he lived he would
be considered the murderer of Lorenz,
and until the end a price would hang
over his head. She, Princess of Grau-
stark, had offered a reward for him.
For that reason he was always TO be &
fugitive. and she least OF all could
hope TO see him. There had been a
brief, happy dream, but it was swept
away by the unrelenting rush OF real

alone. was responsible for his flight

able barrier.

A lot of young fellows in an Ohio
town had a good time with a tramp
last week. They took him into a
shed. gave him a good bath, shaved
him and cut his hair. They then
bought a new suit Of clothes, white
shirt and stand-up collar and dressed
him out complete. But when they
attempted to burn his hobo clothes he
objected and fought for them with
such desperation their suspicious were
aroused and upon searching found

WIRE FENCE TELEPHONES.

The plan to extend the special mail
delivery now afforded to cities and
towns to the remote rural sections by
using the farmers telephone lines, is
receiving considerable attention, and
it is thought that the national govern
ment will act upon il soon, Jays the
Farmers Tribune. e
Senator Fairbanks is the len aad-
yocate Of this measure. The schtme is
TO have a special ten-cent stamp pre-
pared that, when placed on a leiter.
will indicate to the postmaster that he
is TO open the letter and telephone its
contents to the one for whom il is in
tended in the rural district. The plan
is feasible, and such a scheme added to
the mail service would not only add 20
the effectiveness Of the entire service
and OCCUPY a field that the telegraph
does not invade, but would have the
effect Of building more telephone lines
and il would be a matter Of only
short time until every up TO date
farmer would have a telephone placed
in his hone.
In tirie it means that telephone
charges will be reduced, because Of the
extra use Of the telephone. aside from
the aid such a plan would give to the
mail service. The Commercial, and so
cial facilities Of the country would be
enhanced.
Indiana has probably taken the lead
Of other states in rural telephone lines.

phone lines. Prof. Alexander Bell says
