Man Opposed Standard Oil.

It is to be hoped that MT He'nzn can be curbed by law without being crushed, even though he represents a type of business man both predatory and parasitic. For he has made a more effective resistance to the dead ening influence of the Standard Oil domination than any other kind of man could possibly have done. His course has been without moral ivstifi- action, but not wholly without excuse. Indeed, the most depressing feature of the conflict to an unpre1udiced onlook- CT is the fact that if he had been a more scrupulo1ls man he would long since have been wiped off the s'ate. He has held his own and more, because he has been willing to play the ganie unfairly and win on foul.
 The contending individuals and cor porations have eliminated entirely from their calculations the sovereign will Of the people. They have assumed that the commonwealth of Montana was a puppet to be used in schemes of personal aggrandizement. It may ba respectfully suggested to Lnose con- tending factions that "the most direct road to anarchy is to throw contempt upon the, laws that are safeguard to their vested interests. If the people should learn thoroughly the lesson that tney teach insistent1v. the spo'iation and confiscation of these same vested interests would be only a question of time.-Leslie's Monthly for March.

Three Years Journey

There arrived fin the city yesterday from the Argentine Republic two travellers dressed in khaki suits who bore 8 somewhat jaded and travel stained appearance. The names of the couple are Otto Sperber and his wife, Mrs Adele Gaberel de Sperber, and they have made the trip from Beunos Ayres to this city in three years and four months, having left the Argentine capitol on October IA, 1901. About one-third of the dis tance was made on mule back, one third in canoes and other frail water craft, but the severest part had to be tramped on foot.
 Both Mir Sperber and his wife are Journalists, the former being for many years associated with some prominent Berlin newspapers and Mrs Sperber writing for Paris jour- nal. Paris being her native city. Tn 1896 the couple went to Beunos Ayres, where Mrs Sperber resided con- tinuously until they started for the north. MT and Mrs Sperber tell of many hardships, hunger and constant difficulty in getting food: of fording streams and crossing rivers; bitter cold nights and heavy rain storms. But as both remarked, with anima- ton, they managed to retain their health through all.--Mexican Herald.

Made Them Feel Easy.

' Grover Cleveland makes few soe cia1 enga gements in his home town | rinceton, New Jersey, but usaally accepts invitations to go hunting. His readiness in this respect caused con steraat tiou last summer in q certain New Jersey farmhouse. The farmer was sending q load of produce to Princeton by new hired man, and said. jokingly. to the latter, as he was sitting on the wagon ready to start:
 ''Say. John, just drop in on my friend Grover Cleveland when you get to town. and tell him would like to have him come out here for days shooting when he gets time. l" ~ II :
 John not understanding that ms employer had no acquaintance with the ex-president and spoke ill fu1f' said that he would. and he did.
 \, few days afterward the farmer received note saying that Mir Cleye- land and two friends would be very glad to visit him on certain day and shoot. There was excitement in the household The. farmer felt a good deal of awe,for man who had been president of the United States, and the women of his family felt more. There was nothing to do. however, hut make the best of the situation, lne prospective host polished up his rife. and his wife and daughter made preparation for dinner that was to be the effort Of their lives.
 Then they awaited with fear ana trenblong the coming of the appoint ed day.. Mir Cleveland and his friends arrived on an early train, and guided bv the farmer lost no time in getting into the woods.
 Notwithstanding the missfyings of the feminine members of the house hold, that dinner. judging from the way it disappeared before the on slaught of the party from Princeton was great success When leaving, Mir Cleveland said he had spent a most enjoyable day
 s'You can't judge a man from what yo,, have heard of him." said l-4e farmer afterwards. T had an idea that Grover Cleveland was an ice berg. I suppose he has to be some times. But he can throw off that manner as easily as you. would get out of your overcoat Just as soon as he climbed into my wagon at the de- pot, and laughingly asked me if ] thought the springs would stand the strain, I forgot that he had been pres ident of the United States-Success.

A great many people think Editor Hearst is making the mistake of his life by getting into the campaign as a presidential candidate this year. It is going to need man that all the democrats will stand by to beat the republicans this time, and it is some- what doubtful if Hearst is the man. He has large following to be sure, and is a worker, but the chances seem to be against him at present. If he would only throw his influence to men like Parker. German, Hill or Olney the democrats would win easily, and then unless the fates were cruel to him his term would, come in four years. The hustling newspaper man may have this in mind now, and is intending to use his influence for some other candidate, but at this time may be sounding the democrats to see how much of following he really has. This is good year for demo. cratic victory if some one does not obstruct the movement that at present is on the road to the white house.

Twenty years ago twenty per cent. of the people of Canada would have welcomed the annexation ofs the Do- minion of the United States, says d writer in Leslie's Monthly. Ten years ago only ten per cent. of the men who think thought seriously of such a, move, and to-day no one ever mentions the matter at all. Twenty years ago only few dreamers dreamed of the Republic of Canada. Ten years later ten per cent. of the people were in favor of it, and. to-day twenty out of every hundred Canadi- ans would welcome the news that Canada had cast off the cable that moors her to the motherland and had blossomed out as q nation. The re- lations between the people of the United States and of Canada will grow more friendly and pleasant as the years go by. because. of the wholesale swapping Of citizens now gaing on. Millions of Canadians have gone to the states, and in the next de cade millions of Americans will have crossed into Canada.

Speaking of the war in the east and the many modern war implements that are being taken advantage of by even the most barbarous people, a writer in a New York paper says that what Japan has shown is that west. ern appliances of war and western drill are just as effective when pos. sessed and directed by Asiatfc minds, as when employed for European az gression. And this is very serious discovery for Europe. if discovery 1t can be called. In the last frontier war in India the English got taste of this new experience, in their efforts to put down the hill-tribes, who had been provoked to fight by the treach- cry involved in the annexation of Chftraliland. These mountaineers had got possession of modern rifles, and they turned their hills into points of resistance most deadly to English troops. For while Englishmen won dered what European country was supplying such weapons of precision

CHAMPION FAINTER. :
Most Successful Was to Faint in
 Presence of Wedding Forty.


 Presence of Wedding Forty.
 A fraud on lady has just come to light on the details of which much time and care must have been ex- pended. and yet the profits amounted to only 3s.
 A man, who described himself as ships mechanic, called on a lady at her residence at Putney. He display ed most intimate knowledge of the family, and stated that two letters had been found in a berth on a Ger man liner addressed to her two broth CTS in Australia. He said that he had been to the London office of those gentlemen the addresses of whom he mentioned, and added that he had been told to call on her. as telegram had come asking for the letters to be forwarded at once. He said that the third mate of the liner had the letters, and gave the lady an address in Hamburg to, write to. He added that his expenses had been 3s, which the lady gave him. promising to communicate with him later. Inquiries afterward proved that there was no such third mate and no such liner.
 It is perhaps due to universal edu- cation that frauds of this nature are increasing, as opposed to crimes of violence There is one man, for ex- ample, known as the champion faint CT. He never asks for money, he merely faints on your doorstep. He is almost invariably taken in and giv- en a good meal, and in many cases money is pressed upon him.
 One of his feats was 70 faint out side house in which a wedding par ty was assembled. He was tenderly looked after, was given champagne, and wished the newly married pair good luck in a neat speech.
 A man who lived on his wits no- ticed that lamps were being used in a house. while all the others in the row were burning gas. He sdeduced that something had gone wrong with the meter, and called early next morning from the company" Under his di- rections the family distributed them selves in the various rooms ready to apply matches to the burners at q signal. while he stood at the meter.
 Experiment. after experiment ended in failure and the family were moved from room to room. while the "gas- man. made the most of his oppor trtnities He eventually left with a good haul. and instructions to wait until he sent the workmen.

 Musical critics in Memphis, New Orleans and other cities are handling Madame Patti without gloves.

Thus far neither Russia nor Japan has made any actual attempts to place war loans on the interna tional mar kets, says Banker Clews, both having thus far met increased expenditures from their own resources. It Is impos- sible, however, to feel any certainty in this respect. and should the war prove of long duration or very costly one or both of the contestants will be obliged to. tap the worlds money mar kets. Prudent foreign bankers are, therefore, especially >, careful about their commitments, and are likely to remain so until the issue of the war seems more certain than at present. This does not imply any unsoundness in the foreign financial markets, but simply is a necessary preparedness for new demands or surprises which our own bankers also have in view. A good deal of uneaslness certainly ex- ists regarding the situation in the Balkans, where russian intrigue on the one hand and Turkish misrule on the other have kept that part of Eu- rope in an unhappy ferment for years. Any weakening of Russian power or prestige in the far east is sure to weaken her influence in the Balkans, and hence stimulate European unrest; in short, the check to Russian ambi- l4ons which must follow should Japan succeed will inevitably have world wide consequences.
