of popular rule. When such a

we may again expect to see more

1t is announced from Jefferson
City that proceedings will shortly
be instituted in the State supreme
court to oust the $40, 900, 900 bak-
ing powder trust from Missouri,
Attorncy-Genera Grow is to do
this in the name of the state.
Coming this belated time such ac-
lion is evidently intended more to
influence politics than to really
drive out the trust. A number of
years have transpired since a Dem
ocratic legislature, influenced to Il
great extent by "Missouri's Great
est Democrat" VIM. j. Stone,
who was less than yearago made
United States Senator by an unani
nous vote of the Democrats, turn
cd Missouri over to the baking
powder trust and gave it the ex-
elusive right to sell the baking in-
gredient in the state. Mr.. Crow
has been attorney general for al
most a like period. The trust has
been left in the full enjoyment Of
its monopoly until now, even
though Governor Dockery and
Mr.. Crow and the whole kit and
DOODLE composing the state admin
istration have long been aware
that the monopoly was Illegal and
through it the people of Missouri
were being robbed. Why has MIR.
Crow withheld action go long: For
the reason that the baking powder
trust, like the school book aud other
combines operating in Missouri,
are putting up the funds for
carrying on the Democratic party's
political campaigns. If legal pro-
ceedings are instituted as promis
ed, no one need expect to see them
pressed to a point where they will
really menace the trusts grip upon
the state while the Democrats re-
main in power. If the state auth

MIND WANDERING.
Features of a Disease Discovered by
Chicago University President.

Features of a Disease Discovered by
Chicago University President.
A new disease has been discovered
by President Harper of tine University
of Chicago. The disease is that of
mind wandering" and it was brought
to the attention of the students of the
Junior college the other day in a lee
ture by the president. says a Chicago
dispatch.
"Four men and four women" said
DIR. Harper, ''from among the number
of students at the university have been
afflicted with this disorder and have
had to leave college. The prime symp-
tom of the disease is lack of ability to
concentrate the mind on any subject"
President Harper went on to say that
those who have been compelled to drop
their work were unable to give a lucid
account of what they had been reading
after ten minutes attention to a certain
book. Overstudy was suggested as one
possible cause of the malady, while an
other possibility mentioned was too
much work on subjects in which the
! student could not take an interest.
Long and systematic perusal of certain
lines of work which are especially In
teresting was suggested as a possible
cure.

You'd think that spring was ''loaf1n'

But yesterday the snow lay white against

When suddenly a speck o. light set all
their wings a-futter!
It seemed to me 1 almost heard their little
hearts a-drummin',
And plain as day they seemed to say.
"The nestin' time is COMMIT"
And sure they know. each bird o. them,
the kindly God gave wings to,
The Goo they hear in rustlin' leaves, the
God each songster sings to!
Though man may think that wisdom
dwells alone in his dominions,
The birds-they hear the heavenly bells
and brush the angels ~pinions!
Then come, oh, spring, from valleys dim,
from wintry hills and hazy,
And teach the hooking bird his hymn and
whisper to the daisy!
And for these wintry spells that long in
Grief and gloom nave bound US
Give us your birds and blooms and light

LION in SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Used by Philadelphia Pastor to Point
Out . Moral.

Used by Philadelphia Pastor to Point
Out . Moral.
A baby lion four weeks old, borrowed
from a menagerie, was exhibited by
the Rev. DR.. Clarence H. Woolston, the
pastor, before the Sunday school in the
East Baptist church, Columbia avenue,
in Philadelphia, the other Sunday.
DR.. Woolston made the baby lions
acquaintance some time 6 The do
cility of the little animal and his splen-
did eyes looking up wonderingly into
the face of the clergyman struck the
latter as affording an opportunity Of
giving an object lesson to his Sunday
school.
The consent of Trainer Rollins was
obtained. and. resting on a bed of
straw inside a telescope bag, the little
animal was carried into the Sunday
school room. DR.. Woolston said:
"Now, children, l want to tell you
something about this little fellow. He
has been away from his marpma some
hours, and he is hungry. and. like a
good many little boys know, he wants
to 60 back to his dear mother. who no
doubt misses him very much.
1.-THE little lion has not been named
yet, and Mr.. Rollins has kindly allowed
us to give him a name. We have de-
cided to call him after the youngest
member in II cradle department, and
upon investigation we find it is Norman
Williams Hautz, eight weeks old.
whose home Is at 600 Miller street.
''The lesson I want you to learn from
him before he goes back is this: As you
see him now, he is all innocence. He is
gentle and docile as the sweetest in
FAINT child. BY nature he is wicked and
savage. and when he grows up to be a
big lion If you should meet him in the
jungle he would destroy you or lay you
PROSTATE by a blow.
$50 it is with children. We are all
sinful by nature, but, unlike the lion,
our future is open to us. We can all
be good boys and good girls, and when
we grow up to manhood and woman
hood we can still have Christian char
acter and gentleness by following our
Lord Jesus Christ"
Following the pastors little talk,
which seemed to make an impression
on the children, the lion was taken
among the children, and DR.. Woolston
gave it to the youngest of all to stroke
as an evidence Of it's harmlessness.

OCEAN MAIL.
American Liners Beat the British
Record With Our Letters.

American Liners Beat the British
Record With Our Letters.
Letters to Europe in the year 1904
probably will be better and more ex-
peditiously handled than in any period
since the United States has had a
postofice department. This is due
largely to the recent change of the
sailing day Of the American line steam
ers from Wednesday morning to Sat
urday. These vessels formerly carried
the Wednesday mails, which are now
being carried by White Star vessels,
and the change has enabled them to
take charge of the end-of-the-week
mail, which is very much the larger.
How large it is may be judged from
the fact that every week from 5000 to
1000 bags of mail leave New York for
Europe, each bag containing from 1000
to 5000 letters and from 200 to 400 pa
pers. During the Christmas rush, for
example. the steamship Philadelphia
carried 1000 bags of mail matter on a
single voyage.
Under the older arrangements the
Saturday mail to Europe reached Lon
don too late for Saturday distribution,
and, as there is no distriA1tion of mails
on Sunday in London, the American
letters remained an entire day in the
English p%ostofiice before going onward
toward their destination. The Ameri-
a line vessels, however, get the mail
to London in time for Saturday distri-
button. This distribution is very much
facilitated by the fact that the vessels
carry an ocean branch of the United
States postoffice. From the time a ship
steams out of New York harbor until
the mail bags are to be forwarded to
the London office the postal clerks on
board the ship are busily sorting and
! arranging letters.
The change in sailing time of the
American line was made by arrange
ment with the United States postoftice
officials, and aside from other facts ii
is interesting to note that it places a
large amount of the United States for.
