MONoPOLISTS.

MONGPOLtSI5.
The monopoly Of trade IS a
question OF nath al import, cal
g forth the serious eonsidera
ion Of the wiseat statesmen O
he day. Greatmonopolies how
sver have little to do with plain,
everyday people, except to keep
them 4 little poorer, or make
them a little richer. Tt is the mo-
lopolist Of knowledge and con-
sensational opportunities that
wears On our sense Of justice,
CRATES upon the nerves. and
mikes the coInpanionship Of fell
low mortals a doubtful blessing.
The monopolist of facts proba-
oily descended directly from the
son Of Noah who kept the exact
record of times and events, and
goes through life with every date
upon his tongues end, and goes
into minute details Of history,
biography and incidents upon the
least provocation. The family
histories Of the community in
which he lives are an open chart,
an exact ages Of bachelor, spins
tor, widow, matron or benedict,
are ratified of as glibly as the
days of the week. The monopo-
lists of facts is ready to buck W
his most preposterous statements
by evidence that makes the besr
turned argument a vain and hol.
low mockery and improbable
undertaking.
The monopolist Of anecdote anC
incidental happenings is another
| foe to self satisfaction and socia
enjoyment. We may relate on
pet yarns or thrilling experience,
with true dramatic force anc
power, but the monopolistl
straightway goes one better, ever
though he has to strain his inyen,
tive powers tn the highest tension
to do SO. II you tell how yo,
came within an inch Of death ant
We're saved by some wonderful
intervention, the monopoliet tell

MOTHERS LEGAL RIGHT.
Demonstrated in an Affecting Suit
for Possession in an I'LL
nois Court.

81 once knew of a legal dispute
about a child which ended in a
way that somehow reminded me
of the judgment Of Solomon" said
Lawyer George A. Dupuy, relates
the Chicago Daily News. at hap
pened that in a st. Louis hospital
a young woman whose husband
had left her gave birth to a child.
She was a very poor young wom'
an, friendless and unfortunate.
In her extremity of poverty, on the
advice of some humane persons,
she agreed to leave her infant for
adoption. SOrrowfully parting
from it, she went away to her
home in a remote part Of Missouri.
"The child was adopted by a
well-to-dO family at Litchfeld, Ill.
There for several months it was
cared for tenderly. Then, one day,
the mother appeared on the scene.
Her husband, having acquired
some means, had returned to her,
whereupon she determined, if pos
sible, to regain possession of her
child.
"I have come for my baby she
timidly said, on reaching it's home
in Litchfeld.
"For answer the woman who
had adopted the child produced a
revolver. You get out Of here,
she said. IF you touch that child
I'll blow your head off,

adopted the cl.,id was giving her
testimony the judge directed that
the mother be allowed to hold it.
The affecting way the parent wept
over and caressed the the child,
and the way it chung and cuddled
to her, as if by instinct, produced
a deep impression in court.
"Ft was after midnight when
Judge Phillips rendered his de-
cisiOn to the effect that there hay
ing been no regular legal form Of
adoption the child should be re-
turned to its mother. The latter,
on hearing this, tainted and was
carried out of the courtroom.
Then the other woman, with stern
determination, proceeded before
the spectators to strip the baby
of all its costly fnery and to dress
it in the poor garments in which
she had received it."

ruined their figures and complex

in the end as alcohol, wines and
liquors. And even these, per-
haps, are less pernicious than the
insidious drugs which, it must be
reluctantly admitted, are freely
taken by women of the present
day. A dozen years ago it was
an open secret that mOrphia and
cocaine were enslaving fashiona.
BILE women more than all the spir,
itous liquors ever distilled. And
now chemical research has made
it easier than ever for women tC

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENGLISH
AND AMERICAN TRUSTS.

English trusts are comparatively
harmless AFFAIRS, and cannot and have
not arbitrarily advanced prices except
IN a few instances, like that Of brass
bedsteads, and then only temporarily,
The difference between a trust in a
freetrade country and n IN q high
tariff country can be illustrated by
ME Borax Consolidated, an English
corporation with $751; 900, 900 capital.
This is a world trust, and the Pacific
Coast Borax Company, of this country,
q the greatest Of the twelve companies
In the trust, and probably supplies as
much bOrax as all of the other COM
panies combined. This world trust
sells refined borax to-day in this coun.
cry at 7& cents and in England at ~
cents per pound. Much Of the borax
sold in England is borax from the
mines Of California, and Is refined at
Bayonns, N. j., and exported to Eng
land. The duty on imported borax is
cents per pound, and was raised from
2 cents in 1897 by the Republicans.
When the duty was 2 cents, borax sold
here at S cents. AS a matter Of history
II may be stated that had there been
no duty on borax here there would
have been no world trust. The ex-
oFbitant profits Of the trust here en-
abled It to sell borax at less than 2
cents per pound in Europe and to force
tts competitors to sell their plants at
low prices. But this trust is compare.

that the percentage he was going to
