Court Rebukes Former Attorney Gen
eraI of Ohio.
Columbus, O., June PA sensation
was created in the United States dis
trict court by Judge VANITY rebuking
former Attorney General Frank Monet
for his remarks regarding the beef
trust and corporations in general while
making an argument before the jury in
the case of Wilfred Walker, who sued
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for
$4,000 damages for cutting off both
his legs. Monet said he wished to
call attention to the crippled man and
the rapacity of corporations and said
that the testimony offered by Walker
ought to be taken even In a beef trust
investigating case.
Judge VANITY, in his instructions e
the jury, told them that the jury is to
decide the case on the testimony Of
fered ana not by prejudice against
corporations.
Il say this said the judge, be
cause of the remarks Of the prosecu-
ton regarding the beef trust and cor.
porations in general. This case is to
be decided upon the evidence and not
upon prejudice"
Mr.. Monet lost the case.

kicking his little feet very hard. Th1s he
did for several minutes-it seemed hours TO
him-when at last a big black OBJECT came
close to him in the water. He felt that his
last hour had come, for he could no longer
turn and run back to his mother, as before.
Suddenly he felt himself raised bodily In the
air, quite out of the water, and he saw the
kindly face of old Farmer Brown.

Little BiIIie's Second Adventure.
BY LENoRA F. CHANNoN.

After Little Billie had somewhat recovered
from the scare caused by his meeting the
white billy goat, he decided to go through
the hole under the pen again to see more OF
the great wide world which lay outside.
His mother, after his last escapade. had
kicked and pushed the dirt into the hole he
had dug, seeking to keep him from crawling
forth again, but Little Billie remembered
the spot, and as the dirt was soft there he
easily dug out enough to admit the passage
of his wee BODY.
Again taking advantage of the heat of
noon and his mothers nap in the mud, he
once more fattened himself out and was
again in the unknown land.
He ran up the path, as he had done on the
former occasion, glancing keenly ahead on
the lookout for danger and ready at a mo-
ment's notice to turn and run back to the
sheltering arms of his mother.
He ran on and on along time, meeting no
one and hearing no sounds to bring terror to
his little heart. AT last; he came out OF the
woods into an open place. All around as tar
as he could see was fine short grass. Away
in the distance he saw a large white object
reaching to the sky and looking for all the
world like white box, though it was many
hundred times as large as any box he had
ever seen, and it was covered all over with
eyes-great square eyes, with green laShes
His acquaintance with boxes was not very
large, to be sure, being confined to the one
in which Farmer Brown usually brought the
corn down to their pen.5
Little Billie did not go any closer to the
great box, for he thought it might be a trap
of some kind in which to catch the unwary.
Leaving the path which, if followed, would
have taken him to the box, he struck off
over the smooth grass and presently came
to great sheet of glass. He knew it was

over the brook and visit the bullfrog.
As they drew near the bridge they saw
buIlfrog sitting on a stone, with his back
toward them and splashing his feet up and
down in the water.
Now the coon was very mischevous
fellow and he crept softly up behind bull
frog and shouted "Boo!' as loudly as he
could.
Poor bully-frog turned a somersault in
the air and came down ''kersplash'' in the
mud, when he sank out of sight
The coon and the bunny rabbit laughed
and laughed at the frightened frog.
Pretty soon they saw the tip of his little
green nose appear above the mud, then one
round eye. then the other, and presently

A French family has recently had its
fortunes restored in a way to suggest story
telling. They were wretchedly poor selling
one possession after another in order to
meet the demands of the butcher and gro
Ger. One day the mother in moving an old
desk of her great grandfather came upon
an old book. between the pages of which
was a stamp of the Island of Maurice Of

A traveller stopping to rest in the cottage
one day saw this stamp. which boy was
sticking to a homemade envelope, playing

eler "a man of wealth and collector of
curios) saw that 1t was very rare. In
truth there were but two others In exist
ence. one belonging to the King of Eng
land and one to the Car OF Russia. He
told the family OF their treasure. and it
was through his interest and exertions that
the stamp was subsequently sold for 81 800.

climbed out on his favorite stone.

The rabbit and coon, seeing that bully
frog was very angry, decided to go on down
the lane and stop al the little bridge on
their way back, when he had cooled off.
So they went on, leaving the grumpy bull
frog still sitting on the stone.
After they had gone he said "Juggerump''
two or three times, and then for a long time
was lost in thought.
He was trying to think up some way to
get even with the coon, but, think as hard
as he could, no plan came to his mind, and
he would probably have given up If the old
crow. who lived in the great pine nearby,
had nCt happened along and stopped to get
a drink at the brook.
AS the frog and crow were great friends
he told all about the a-air, and the crow.
who is one of the very SmarteSt of the wild
creatures, soon formed plan to get even
with the coon.
After the frog did everything the crow
told him he sat on his stone to wait for
the coon and rabbit to come back, which
they did very soon.
Bully-frog blinked his round eyes, smiled
a very broad smile and pretended to be glad
to them.
"Coony, do you like apples?' asked the
bully-frog in his most polite way.
do I?'' and the coon smacked his lips.
IF you put your hand down between TIE
DOaTQS IN the DrluSe you Will IIIlu d lovely
one-it foated in there a short time ago."
This was perfectly true, for the old crow
had thrown it into the stream above, as it
was part of the joke.
Coony got down on his hands and knees,
and, putting his eye to the opening be-
tween the boards, said he could see the ap-
pie resting against some twigs.
This was true too, as the frog had placed
It there but just out of reach from above.
Coony, much excited, got down on his
stomach, but, stretch as far as he could,
the apple was just out of his reach.
He grunted and pulled, and worked away
while bully-frog sat on his stone, smiling
broadly.
Then bunny tried it, but he couldn't reach
1t either.
Say bully. old boy" said the coon finally.

Come now" said the coon, who was
growing hungrier every minute for the APP

They finally persuaded the frog to go I'M
der the bridge, which he intended to do
anyway. it was part of the trick he was
going TO play on the coon.
Instead of going toward the apple, he
dove under big stone, where the snap
