Senator Dolliver, Of Iowa, on We'd
nesday held the close attention OF an I'M
mense audience in two hours speech
on trusts. He contended that every
trust is circumscribed by natural laws
which will crush 1t if attempts to over
them. He quoted the large number OF
trusts which had gone into bankruptcy
in war against these laws, perishlng
before they had attained monopoly
because they could not sell the goods
It is said that a million of Delivers
speeches will be franked to the country
and that his argument will be the key
note of the republican party's treat
ment Of trusts on the stump.

Dear Sir: This story cuts two ways, and
teaches two sets of people.
Father Calvin, Westerly, X |, had his
church and residence painted. Good job;
and this is how he went at it.
Measured all carefully-seems to have
known Devoe.
Then got bids from the painters, paint to
be supplied by them and by him
Saved $40 by using Deyoe.
One of those painters ought to have got

live free and unrestrained, roaming the prairies and
living crked buffalo meat and making all kinds of
money from the bounties that YOU would get by selling
the scaps Of the Indians you would STAY and the pets
OF the beaver and other animals YOU would trap.
Your whole outfit for such expedition consisted
of thirteen cents in your bank pocketknife with both

But you hardened your heart You would teach
your parents lesson that they would remember the
longest day of their lives.
After you had finished Your chores YOU crept to bed
without the usual goodnight kiss TO your mother,
But YOU didn't in bed very long-not at all;
YOU had other plans deck
The first thing YOU did to make up bundle of
clothing. You didn't take much, the Scouts of the

among them.
Then YOU brought forth Your mothers best carving
knife and your fathers shingng Ratchet, which YOU
had managed to seCrete your closet the day before
With these CORY weapons at Your belt, alongside
Jour big horse pistol YOU felt that YOU had fairly made
a start toward the goal of your ambitions.
When You felt Your father and mother
