What it All Means.

This wonderful chance in the attitude
OF the trusts unQuestiOuably means that
Roosevelt. through National Chairman
COrtelyou. has sold cut to the trusts He
has promised that If the trusts will aid
i'm his election he viii see to il in his
next administration that the trusts are
not damaged by the rigid enforcement Of
the antitrust laws The trusts would
not contribute literally to the Republican
campaign fund if they feared that the
Republicans IN the event Of success
would turn on the bic corporations as
soon as IL had a new lease on life The
trusts would not contribute to the Re
publican fund until they had assurances
that they would be protected from on
slaught
But the switching of the trusts is sig
nificant OF another thing. AT the time
the trust magnates turned to Parker they
believed that they had found in him "A
man who would be subservient 20 their
will: they believed that JUDGE Parker. If
elected. would not enforce the antitrust
laws even as rigidly as the Republicans
had done in the Northern Securities case.
Parker Could Not be Bought.
But they found they had misjudged
their ran: they found Judge Parker
would not become their tool they learned
that he could not be bought, and when
they realized that 2 Democratic admin
iStration. with Parker r. the White
House would mean the humiliation OF
the trusts. they naturally gave UP their
plan Of electing the man from Esopus.
Even had the trusts secured no pledges
from the Republicans. the firm stand of
Judge Parker would have been enough

had been the case. they would have con-
tented themselves with very small con-
tributiOns to the Republican fund. The
fact that the contributions have been
large confirms the report that Satlsfac-

Tsn whom they are now supporting.

THE BEST SELLING BOOK.

The Bible is the best selling book
in the world 1t leads, and by a
long interval, all other publications
in copies purchased in the ordinary
channels of trade, without regard to
what may be called the official distrib-
ution. Every bookstore which under
takes to carry full line of stock sells
the Bible. Several important cor
porations confne themselves to the
manufacture and sale of Bibles, and
others find in the Bible their leading
feature OF no other book can this be
said. Speaking some time ago OF the
Unsuitable demand for the Bible as an
article of merchandise, an officer of
the Methodist Book Concern, which
till recently issued cheap editions of
the Bible. said: Like all publishers.
we have to keep watch Of the sale of
books in general, even the most popu-
lar, so as not to get overstocked. But
this never occurs in printing the
Bible. We just keep the presses
steadily at work, and If we happen
to find that we have forty or City thou
sand copies on hand, it gives us no
uneasiness. We are sure to sell them,
and we go straight ahead printing -

PORTABLE COTTAGE Els.

A great advantage of the portable
house for summer outings is that it
can be used every year in different
place. A family may have a change
of scene every season.
The cost Of portable house varies
from $50 to $500, and is about one
third less than that of a house of the
same size built by carpenter.
AS summer cottages, they meet
the needs of those who want to spend
the summer in the country, but who
cannot afford to own house and lot,
nor to rens an expensive country
home. IT is an easy matter to hire a
small plot of ground, either at the
sea-shore or in the mountains, at a
low cost, and spend the summer in
one of these houses. The cost of trans
portation by freight is not great, for
they can be packed into very small
space, each part being fiat. They are
not SO plain as one might suppose for
many Of them have piazzas, or wings,
which may be added if desired.

family OF four have spent their sum.
mers at the seashore for several years
The house is divided into five rooms
one used as living room, three of
the other as bedrooms, and one as a
kitchen.
In the first place, the house cost
them about 5000, the transportation
about $40, and they pay the land
owner $50 year for the privilege of
putting up the house for the summer.
They find it much cheaper than board
ing, and much more comfortable than
camping in tent. In the winter. the
house is either left standing or packed
away in neighboring barn.

HA WTEORNE AND HIS
GROUP.

The approaching centenary of
Hawthorne's birth closes up, in lit
erary way, the period that embraces
the real literature Of the country.
There was almost none before it /;
what remains of the first order has
nearly passed away. The group in
which Hawthorne stood in the front
rank was composed of four or FIVE
poets, an essayist who was also poet,
several novelists and writers of his
tory and two theologians, all of whom
wear the badge of genius. They
form distinct class-the product of
the soil, breathing the air of the
New World, true voices h9ralding
the ideas of their age. Hawthorne is
among them, but not of them, be-
cause his genius was of so distinct a
cast and his life was so far aloof from
the thought of the day. Though a
holder of public office and faithful to
it's duties, his only real thought was
fixed upon moral problems. and was
embodied in four novels and few
brief stories. This is all, save several
volumes of note which record chiefly
close observation cognate to his great
themes; but small as it is, it places
him at the head of his group, and
renders him at home and abroad the
most highly esteemed American au-
thor, though not the most widely read.

BEE STIA GS AND RHEU-
MATISM.

A Pennsylvania farmer having been
severely stung by his domestic bees
with the result that he presently
swelled up to something like double
his usual dimensions, found on the
subsistence Of that humidity that he
was entirely cured of a case of rheu-
mstism which for years had chung to
him with tenscity resisting all rem
edies The discovery thus accident
ally made has been construed by
Philadelphia patent medicine concern
as important, and an order has been
given out to Texas apiarist for fifty
thousand stings of these insects to be
employed in making mixture for
simultaneous injection, which it is
thought viii sell we'll and may greatly
diminish the terrors OF the malady
named. The former will no doubt
depend on clever advertisement and
business management, but the latter
can be determined only by multiplied
experiments what may cure one case
The exhibition of the new remedy
will be interesting to doctors and may
supply some hopeful preliminary SEN
ations to patients it it is at all like
the real thing as the bee administers
it in the course of it's regular bust
ness. 1t is toe early to hazard con-
jecutres as to it's curative effects, but
there is generous enterprise in trial
taking fifty thousand stings to begin
with, and the army of rheumatics
knowing no lack of reinforcement
from generation to generation will be
seen to await its results with anxiety.
The number of remedies for that
malady on the patent medicine sched-
ules is already very large; mankind
began discovering them shortly after
emerging from the arboreal condition,
and the quest has never Jagged since,
except to catch breath and take new
start. Most have ultimately been
registered as failures, leaving rheu-
matism cock of the walk so to speak,
to torture it's victims at will. If it
turn out that the blithe, industrious
honey bearer, the singing mason build
ing roofs of gold, has carried an ano-
dyne for the atfiiction in its sting all
this time, it will seem as it the fact
ought to have been found out before,
as mankind and the bee have been
companions from the earliest times,
comforting reciprocal attentions on
each other since the swarm came out
Of the lions belly to distribute expert
mental and possibly remedial pune
lures upon the person of Samson. But
better late than never if there should
turn out to be anything in it.
1t will at any rate introduce to
Teaxs new industry which, il the
stings are collected by hand, ought to
present aspects OF liveliness greatly
increasing the gayety of that big but
not oversprightly Commonwealth
However the enterprise may result,
it gives token of the Indulgence and
daring of therapeutic experiment in
these days to take Galen's breath
away if that early practitioner olaf
tering his pestle in the Elysian fields
could be oonjectured to have any
knowledge of t.-Exohange.

Jessie was knocked fat. Every light
went out. In the pitch darkness, Mr.
Artist snatched Jessie up and dragged
her into the kitchen, and placed her
up in the sink, where the water came
to her neck. The rushing water closed
the door between them and the other
girls, and no human power could
open it.

Meanwhile the three girls, caught
like rats in trap, flew to the out
side door to find that, tho they could
get the wooden door open, the screen
wouldn't move. You see the screen
closed the way the water pushed, and
the wooden door the other way. They
knocked out the top of the screen.

THE high water mark in the room
where they were is over a mans

bells. Two or three small boats were
secured. The wreoking machine of
the railroad was called out to remove
debris from the subway. Grow Creek,
ordinarily no more than a ditch, was
one half mile wide and several houses
hoated two blocks away, but the house
the girls were in was stone one, and
that is why they were safe on the
