Sea Turtles.

In this months Leslie's Monthly
F. T. Bullen describes the sea tur-
tie, which is the largest of its kind.
These monsters often weigh 1000
pounds. Mr.. Bullen gives fine
description, but I think he is a
little too enthusiastic when he
says: almost alone among Gods
creatures, the turtle has but a
single enemy-man. There is no
need for him to fear any other liv-
ing thing. Man alone disturbs
his paradise" A few pages farther
on his story is illustrated with a
picture of a mother turtle on her
way to the beach to deposit her
eggs. Underneath her shark is
coming straight up, head on, aim
ing for one of those nice fat flip
pers, and I'll bet my dog Gypsy

swimming at the rate OF sixteen
miles an hour. IL she didn't stop

In the South Pacific [ have har-
pooned lots of turtles that had lost
a ripper and sometimes two flip

the marks of sharks teeth all
around the she'll. It looked like
a piece of cheese that rat had

The gulls would have half of them
before they reached the water and
the snappers and rock fish would

the water before they found safety

until their shells are too hard to

are too large to be swallowed

There is an old saying that sea
warns are to be taken with a grain
of salt. Sinbad's yarns are an ex-
ception, for he writes only of what
he saw. I admit that I have been
doubted by my own blood. Itwas
this way: You all know what a
small fruit a southern persimmon
is. Well, when I came home from
the coast of China we had some
persimmons to eat. I said: "Those
are not like China persimmons.
You couldn't put China persim-
mon in a teacup without crushing
it." Father looked at mother and
mother looked at sister, as much

she cbeusbt It Funny.

Holmes discovered that "it is
very serious thing to be funny
man," and one of the younger
New England poets is said to have
warned beginner in literature
never to publish humorous verse
if he wished to make and keep
reputation as a serious poet.
A story, perhaps apocryphal,
which is told of Mark Twain, H.
Illustrates the theory that humor-
ist's reputation debars him from
all other kinds of credit.
Mark Twain is lover of Brown
ing, and reads him aloud with ex-
cellent power. Once he read sew
eral passages to company gath
cred in the house of a friend.
Among the guests were some
young ladies. One of them laughed
during the reading. Afterward
she condoled with Mark Twain
on the soberness of his audience.
Il was SO sorry for you," said
she. "The others did not seem
to see the joke in it. I suppose
you wrote it yourself; it was a skit
on Browning, wasn't it? I I'M
derstood about as much of it
as I do of most of Browning"
The humorist explained hum
bly, that he had tried to give the
words as Browning wrote them

point of workmanship, is it not a
| fact that the steel trust employed
ignorant and soap-hating foreign
ers merely because they could live
cheaper, and therefore work cheap
er than the American laborer?
And does not this substitution
of the ignorant and frequent
ly filthy foreign workmen for
intelligent and clearly American
workmen lower the standard of
living on the whole? And as no
sane person will admit that the
lowering of the standard of living
is conducive to the general welfare
of a people, what then becomes of
the boasted benefcence of the
steel trust?
As AJAX progresses in his mar
velous narrative he brings..the'glib-
tongued walking delegate upon the
scene. This wonderful walking
delegate, by merely telling the
once ignorant, but now enlight-
ened foreign sheep who were "per-
fectly satisfied, perfectly content
ed' with their lot, "that they are
being robbed" perverted the no.
bly, conceived scheme of the bene-
ficent trust to elevate the benight-
ed foreigners along business lines,
to be sure, and according ito the
moral code formulated by the great
moral lights of the trust; which
moral code begins with the we'll
known commandment 81, THE
TRUST, am thy God; thou shalt
worship no other God before me,
after me, or beside me- and ends
with the equally well known in
junction against "coveting sany-
thing that may now, OF. lat some
time in the future, be of use to
the TRUSTw
Ajax tells us the men had no
real grievance, and yet the walk
ing delegate persuaded Is per cent
of them to strike. These Huns
and Slavs whose once clouded
jminds had become brilliant by alb
sorbing the concentrated knowl-
edge and wisdom stored in the
free library of the town-the gift
of steel king, of course; these
ungrateful dogs who owedi their
prosperity, their bank accounts,
their pianos, and castles (dugouts?)
on the hill, and even.their knowl-
edge of soap to the beneficent
trust, struck for higher wages be-
cause a misunderstanding walking
delegate with the gift of gab,-a
perfect stranger, one who had new
er in any way befriended them,-
ordered them to do so! If those
foreigners who struck without
grievance could be led like sheep,
why in the name of common sense
didn't the trust bring one of it's
own spellbinders upon the scene to
counteract the easy insinuations
of the walking delegate, and lead
the sheep back into the green
pastures owned or controlled by
the benefcent trust?
I hope Ajax will give us some
facts in his next defense OF the
benefcent trust. 5599.

oil for iving-but to their ever
lasting glory be it said, the people
of Mt. Gilead refused to take the
oil Of the trust even as gift, but
continued to patronize the old ped
dler. And in connection with all
this it may be said in passing that
the most unscrupulous agents OF
the trust are generally called to
"wider fields of usefulness"
Ajax attempts to show that after
crushing rival the oil trust does
not raise the price of oil. Here he
advances an argument that for
right down stupidity will forever
remain unrivalled. He answers his
! own questlon-and doesn't know
it! His argument reads as follows:
"You object, they raise the price
of oil just as soon as they get the
little dealer out of the way. Not
so. If that were true, oil would
be worth dollars instead of cents
per gallon, for the trusts enemies
insist that the oil trust owns all
the oil in the United States. What
is to prevent the trust from get
ting any price it might ask? The
fact is, oil would then be luxury
and no one would buy it except
when absolutely necessary"
Precisely, Ajax. You have said
it. The oil trust does not charge
dollars instead of cents for oil per
gallon because the consumer would
be unable to buy at the higher
rate. The oil trust sells it's pro-
ducts at about the highest figure
obtainable. Where there is no
danger of competition from gas
or electricity the price of oil is
considerably higher than in thu
cities. If the trust charged dol
lars instead of cents for oil per
gallon it would not be long before
gas and electricity would supplant
the oil lamp altogethse. And as
the oleaginous gentleman at the
head of the oil trust is no SLOUGH
when it comes to converting the
ill-smelling and filthy products of
the earth into shining gold, he
screws up the price OF oil to the
highest point accordant to the en-
vironment of the purchaser, and
let's it go at that. That the Stand
ard Oil Co. after crushing rival
does often raise the price of oil has
been proven time and time again,
and so conclusively, that only a
man who is willfully blind to facts
so luminous that she who runs
may read" will stand up and as
sert the contrary.
So much for Ajax's first paper.
In his second paper he cuts loose
from truth and facts altogether,
and, drifts into the murky atmos-
lphere of fiction pure and simple.
1 challenge Ajax to give the name
of the town that at one time boast
ed 10000 inhabitants, but is now
deserted because the steel trust re-
moved it's plant. [ defy Ajax to
point out one single plant of the
steel trust where the lowest wage
is $I.75 per day. And will he
kindly tell me what articles we're
manufactured from molten steeP
in this particular factory? And
since when has the steel trust
made the free services of a CON-
pany physician available ''any hour
of the day or night?' And if in this
particular plant the common labor
ers earned $1.75 in eight hours,
why do men performing the same
kind of work in many of the other
plants of the steel trust receive on
ly $1.35 or $3.50 for ten hours
work? And if there really was a
transition from poverty and ignor-

/! only by we'll estab-
gished facts. When Ajax buckles
on his armor, and brandishes his
lance in defense of trusts, he may
be, in his own opinion, and in the
opinion of many others, a worthy
defender of worthy institutions;
but when he substitutes fancles
for facts, or draws on his magma
ton for data that cannot be OBJ
tanned in the world of realities, it
would seem that his conclusions
not only are illogical, but that in
order to make a fair showing for
his clients, he, like an unscrupu-
lous lawyer, never hesitates to pre-
sent things in an entirely wrong
light.
Ajax's desire to rejoin the noble
army of American workingmen is
commendable in the highest de-
gree. And if he takes unto him
self wife and becomes a man of
family I sincerely hope he will
wear his new honors and dignities
with modesty, and wear them long
and we'll. But if Ajax has lived
since the time when sugar sold at
Is or 26 cents a pound, and under
conditions somewhat similar to
those that obtain in places where
now it sells at 5 or 6 cents pound,
then there is every reason to be-
}ieve Ajax's remaining working
days will be few. And if Ajax has
lived so long that he cannot re-
member that individuals have
made and sold, and are making
and selling, sugar of equal quality,
and at the same and even lower
figures than that made and sold by
the sacred sugar trust, then he
must have reached that stage of
senility when marriage is out of
the question; when the enfeebled
rnind dimly apprehends the out
Zines of yawning grave, and loses
J itself in meditations of the long,
llong, journey to its everlasting
home.
Has Ajax never heard Of Claus
Spreckels? Is Ajax unaware OF
the fact that hundreds of manu-
ifacturers of beet sugar are selling
their products in the markets to-
day, competing with the mighty
sugar trust?
Ajax jumps from the sugar trust
to the oil trust, aud the way he
twists the truth, and calls black
white and white black must make
the Father of Lies turn green
with envy.
"The trusts never yet have gone
to the neighborhood of a small
producer and cut prices to make
him quit?"
The Standard Oil Go. has not
only cut prices but has actually
given away petroleum for the sole
purpose of driving small producers
and refners from the field. Vari-
Gus legislative Investigations and
trials by courts have established
the fact that the Standard Oil Co.,
or it's agents, has resorted to in
timidation, bribery, arson, espion-
age and other Inisdemeanors and
crimes to kill competition, to force
retailers to quit handling the oils
of independent refners; and to oul
lasting shame be it said, we seem
to be at the mercy of soulless
