SQUEEZED BY THE OCTOPUS.

| The manner in which the great trusts
subdue private enterprise and wreck
small properties is shown very clearly
in the proceedings in the new Beaumont
oil fields of Texas. The oil discoveries
there made great many farmers we'll
TODD and would, if no letters were put
upon the product, create a wide and
general prosperity in that locality. and
perhaps, through competition, make oil
cheaper for the masses.
But the Standard Oil Trust. the Rock
efeIer industry. proposes to absorb
Beaumont oil at it's own price. Far
from Offering such sums to the owners
as represent the figures of value on its
own oil holdings, similarly located, the
trust proposes to freeze out the small
proprietors. It's way of doing this
shows the vast and dangerous power of
aggregate capital. In the first place the
trust bought up all the wharves and
shipping facilities of Port Arthur, the
nearest deep-water port TO Beaumont,
and all the land about the place, COM
prising 10000 acres. Next the trust
bought all the railroads leading from
Beaumont to Port Arthur, thus cutting
off the small dealers from a market.
Finally it has surrounded Beaumont
with Gordon of purchased land, COM
pletely isolating it.
Now the men who have not already
sold at a sacrifice to Rockefeller viii
have to accept his terms. Let it lie
heir consolation that he will make
enough out of them to build a dozen
more Baptist churches and endow new
collegiate chair of Moral Ethics.

The need of keeping Governor Taft
in the Philippines leaves the Supreme
Court vacancy still open. The Presi-
dents second choice is ex-Secretary Of
State, William r. Day of Canton.
Judge Day, who was at the head of
McKinley's cabinet. retired to private
life because he could not meet the social
expenses of the place. If he takes the
judgeship he can probably make both
ends meet, as the monetary exactions of
the office are not great.

Philosophy Of a Cheerful Mind.

To be cheerful when the world 10
goins we'll with you is no great virtue.
The thing is to be cheerful under dig
advantageous circumstances. If one
has lost money, If business prospects
fail, If enemies appear triumphant, II
there is sickness of self or those Gear
to one, then is it indeed virtue to be
cheerful. When poverty pinches day
after day. month after month or
through the years as they pass, and
one has ever to deny self of every
little longed-for luxury, and the puz'
zle of how to make one dollar do the
work for two has to be solved, then
the man who can still be cheerful is a
hero. He is a greater hero than the
soldier who faces the cannon's mouth.
Such cheerfulness is the kind that we
need to cultivate.
To acquire this self-command, we
need to think of many things. We
need to guard against giving way to
irritation about little things. If we
can maintain self-control in small mat
ters. we shall have less difficulty In
maintaining it when great matters are
to be met. If we meet irrepairable
losses we must readjust our lives to
fit the new conditions. There is no
great evil so bad but that it might
have been worse. Let us congratu::
late ourselves that the worst is not
vet! There is truth in the saying that
"every cloud has silver lining"
Though it may for time look so dark
We can see no CLINT Of the silver, yet
we know it is there-A1ilwaukee Jour-

A BIG FISH STORY.
What Was Found in the Stomach OF
Shark.

Shark.
4 prominent Government official who
has returned here from visit to Palm
Beach, Fla, tells about seeing a huge
man-eating shark that was captured
at that place one day. 1t was one of
the biggest sharks ever caught in Flor
ida waters and was evidently sailor
Of many years. The animal measured
over eighteen feet long, had q sword
attachment that was as long as, an
arm, and was of the leopard variety,
stamping it as of the man-eating class
and dangerous beast. The shark was
caught by q shark fisherman, who
makes /. his business catching these
marine monsters. He uses large rope
for line and has windlass for a
reel. At the end of the line is huge
steel hook, and this is baited with a
large. bright tin can. The big shark
bit at the bait and was entrapped. He:
was landed after the toughest time the
fisherman ever experienced. 1t was
the interior Of the fish, however, that
excited the greatest interest. When
he was cut open whole porpoise was
found in the stomach. There was also
q large piece OF partly digested shark
and the head Of an ostrich. The piece
of shark inside the monster was out
Of the back, and contained the back
bone of the Lead animal. A careful
examination showed that the back
bones were larger than the backbones
Of the captured shark. testimony to
the fighting abilities of the captured
shark. A number of scars on his body
showed that he had been in cont1ct
with another shark, and the finding OF
the piece of the adversary showed that
the conflict had ended in the death
of the opponent; that the victor had
then swallowed juicy portion of his
adversary. The presence of the ostrich
head in the stomach Of the man-eater
was regarded as. undoubted proof that
the shark had probably just arrived in
Florida waters from Africa, and that
he had made the trip in5two or three
days. The head was not digested, and
the process of digestion had only just
begun. There is only one ostrich farm
in Florida, and when that institution
was communicated with the, owners
said that they had not lost an ostrich
In a year. The ability Of shark to
pass fast steamer in a minutes time
is we'll known TO travellers, and there Is
no doubt that the shark had been in
African waters and had. captured q
stray ostrich OF the head Of one that
had been killed, and then started across
the Atlantic, reaching the Florida wa
ters before the ostrich head had begun
to digest.-Washingto Star. -

while that individual examined his pa
tient he waited patiently at the foot
Of the rude bed, furtively watching
two faces which seemed inSeparably
associated together.
Jared Wellington was long time
in bed and the fever wasted him to
q skeleton. Nature had robbed him
Of the power and strength to protect his
shack from the approach of the enemy.
But before his complete recovery the
"dead line" had been oblterated. The
little footsteps Of Virginia had worn 4
smooth path across it from shack to
shack, and often Henry Eserton fol-
lowed after his tiny niece Ito 90 and

much attraction for him as for the
| innnocent child, who had found IN
its bereavement another who had
quickly healed the wound.
Then one day Henry Escrton walked

tighter around his mouth, and with
eyes hardened to bear new burden.

spective claims had been handed down.

Dorothy held forth trembling hand.
He seized it and covered it with kisses,
hastily interpreting the action as
plea to stay, and Dorothy did not have
the courage to break his Illusion. Then
from the shadow Of tie shack small

TO the woman of ancient Israel not to
