That Tall Glass jar.

The country store used ~ know comes
back to me to-day
In rising tides Of memory that sweep
the years away.
I see its weather-beaten front, the dIngy
window panes,
The sugar scale, the letter box. the
floors tobacco stains,
The jumbled stock of groferie. In pack
age. pail and bar,
And, best Of all, l see once more q tall
glass jar.
This jar was filed with candy sticks, q
goodly sight to see
And better still to nibble at-that Joy
still stays with me.
Sweet peppermint and wintergreen, hoar-
hound and cinnamon,
Vanilla sticks like BARRIERS poles-I
loved them every one.
Molasses, too, and chocolate. and tooth
some peanut bar;
see them all in my minds eye in that
tall glass jar.
Lies brought me many pleasures as the
years have slipped along;
Far more Of sun than shadow, little
signing, much Of song.
I've seen the sunlight splendor on the
lordly hills Of Rome,
Had luck in love and business when
I've stayed right here at home,
But never felt an ecstacy as great as
when my ma
Would pass me out q nickel for that tall

I've eaten pate de foie gras to tempt
gourmand's heart;
I've played at NJ. Delmonico's old Epicu-
rus part.
The menus choicest edibles I've tasted
near and far,
But none could match the candies in that
tall glass jar.
I'd give ten thousand dollars just to be
boy again
One single day, and puddle, barefoot, in
the summers rain;
just to run my mothers errands to that
little dingy store.
With glad anticipatione tingling to my

No cloud on the horizon my sheer happi-
ness to mar,
Munching sticks Of striped candy from
that tall glass jar.

TO CURB ALLEGED TRUST.

Roosevelt Seeks to Put Shackles on
Standard Oil Combine.
President Roosevelt has directed that
the Department of Justice cooperate
with the Department of Commerce and
Labor in the investigation of the affairs
of the Standard Oil Company. The Pres
ident had conference with Commits
sioner of Corporations Garfield and with
Representative Campbell of Kansas. Mr..
Campbell inaugurated the present inves-
tigation. The Presidents idea in having
the Department of Justice work with
the Department of Commerce and Labor
is that If information is received it will
be turned over to the special attorneys
of the Department of Justice, who will
be able to pass on it from legal point
of view. In the event that these attor-
neys believe additional Information is de-
sired they can inform the commissioner
of corporations, who will direct that the
necessary evidence be secured.
Commissioner Garfield and the Presi-
dent talked in detail over plans. The
President has placed no limits on the
scope of the inquiry. He has told Mr..
Garfield that he expects him to make the
investigation thorough in every respect.
Inquiry into the methods of the al
legged trust is planned by Texas legisla-
tors. Wisconsin, Missouri and Okla
homa may begin independent investiga-
tions. The interstate commerce commits
sion is ready to expose the alleged con-
spiracy in Kansas if proof of a rate plot
is unearthed. The Illinois Legislature
is also likely TO investigate the Standard
Oil Company's operations.

Redeem Your Past Failures.

You may say that you have failed
too often. that there is no use in try
ing. that it is impossible for you to
succeed, and that you have fallen too
often even to attempt to get on your
feet again. Nonsense! There is no
failure for a man whose spirit is un-
conquered. No matter how late the
hour. or how many and repeated his
failures, success is still possible. The
evolution of Scrooge, the miser, in the
closing years of his life, from hard,
narrow, heartless -grubber,
whose soul was imprisoned in his shin
ing heap of boarded gold, to q gener-
Gus, genial lover of his kind, is no mera
myth of Dickens brain. Time and
again, In the history of our daily lives,
chronicled in our newspapers, record
ed in biographies, or exhibited before
our eyes, we see men and women re-
deeming past failures, rising up out Of
the stupor of discouragement, and

AFTER THE PACKERS.
Federal Authorities Deal Unexpected
Blow to Beef Men.

Federal Authorities Deal UneXpected
Blow to Beef Men.
After months of silent and secret prep
aration the United States government
opened hostilities Tuesday against the
meat packers, by serving subpoenas upon
heads of departments and other employees
of the various firms, commanding them
to appear before the federal grand jury,
which will convene in Chicago on March
20. A concerted attack was made by
deputy United States marshals in fif-
teen other cities than Chicago where
located, and before night 1S5 subpoenas
had been served.
The opening gun signaliZed the begin
ming of q determined prosecution of vio-
lators of Judge Grosscup's injunction re-
straining packers from certain astz
which would be in violation of the Shsf-
man antitrust law, an order which re-
Gently was sustained by the United
States Supreme Court. The injunction
restrained the packers from compelling
their agents to stop bidding; from limit
ing supplies to agents or localities; from
lowering, fixing or raising prices, ana
from dividing territory or enforcing uni
form rules as to credits and charges.
1t is the firm belief of the Department
of Justice at Washington that sufficient
evidence has been obtained as a result
of the investigation conducted last sum-
mer by agents of Commissioner Garfield
of the Department of Commerce and La
Dor to insure the indictment, conviction
and Imprisonment of a number of the
packers.
The law provides penalty Of either a
fine not exceeding $4,000, ir prisonment
not exceeding one year, or both, for vio-
lations of the antitrust law. Punish
ment for violation of the Grosscup in
junction would be at the discretion of the
court under contempt proceedings.
United States District Attorney Be
thea is understood to be in possession of
evidence supporting the charge that not
n single packing firm has kept within the
law during the last twelve months or
more. 1t may develop that the packers
have unwittingly broken the injunction,
for their employees number into the thou
sands and comprise men of all degrees Of
intelligence.

IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inflamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid of cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight Jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?"
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications Is foolish waste of
time. The seat Of the disease Is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting a sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
ut any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affiiction is
that Of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse In wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. ! tried a number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the palms."
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface in
dication. He adds:
"I had heard DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
| for rheumatism, and when I found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that I would try
them. Before the first box was gone I
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up ] was entirely free
from discomfort, and I have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change In treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.i15
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass: {,
had found the true means for the purifi-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
| DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures In
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they exrel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

WOULD END THE WAR
RUMOR THAT RUSSIA AGREES
TO PEACE TERMS.
Conditions as Reported Make Big Con-
cessions to Japan-Czar Now Willing
to Give Up LiaotunR Peninsula and

A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
that the question of peace has not only
been formally discussed, but the con-
ditions on which Russia is prepared
to make peace has been agreed upon.
They are as follows:
/. Korea to be placed under japanese
suzerainty.
2. Port Arthur and the Liaotung Pc
ninsula to be ceded to Japan.
8. Vladivostok to be declared a neutral
port with an open door.
4. The Eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral international ad-
ministration.
5. Manchuria as far north as Harbin
to be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire.
The difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity, upon which II
is known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that this difficulty is not in
superable.
The most trustworthy opinion at st.
Petersburg is that in view Of the in
ternal situation and the enormous diff
Guilty in carrying on the war the peace
terms outlined will be concluded with
in comparatively short time if the
indemnity question can be arranged
but it is quite possible that Russia
will risk another battle before de.
cision Is reached.
The rumors that peace between Rus
sia and Japan is near are accepted by
the press Of London as having strong
inherent probability. According to
continental reports, the Emperor OF
Austria has used his efforts to per
suade Emperor Nicholas to seek peace
The terms as outlined may be regarded
as forming an extremely possible basis
for peace, as they are held to include
more than Japan claimed before the
War

According to the statements made by

100000 idle men in New York City at

Michigan State labor bureau reports
that labor was scarce last year and many
factories were forced to run at less than
full capacity. Higher wages were paid,
the advance amounting to about cents
per day per capita.
Do strikes pay? The recent rough es-
innate that the total cost to strikers,
employers and the public during the
twenty years ending with 1000 was ST.
600, 600. 900 may be fairly correct. Ev-
cry strike involves waste, and the public,
as a rule, suffers more than either en-
ployer or employe.
The Iron Molders' Union of North
America paid out the sum of $27S,-
sos. 81 in beSefts during the year 1904,
outside of strike pay. 1t was divided as
follows: Death benefits, S54 400; sick
benefits. S2O5, ,69S.25; out-of-work bene-
fts SIS STOS.12 As the organization has
no simulated out-of-work benefits the lat
ter sum represents exemption from dues
to members out of employment.
