In this class" said the minister,
I'VE try to teach spiritual truths by
business and commercial examples
and, taking this parable as a lesson
for every day business life, you must
bear in mind that a man should have
some oil in his lamp. The man who
has no oil is not ready. You may have
your own views abodt what oil means
iE this parable. There is no favoritism
about this-it is natural law. So l i'm
plore you all to get ready II you are
not now SO, and, like the five wise vir-
gins, have enough oil in your lamps
so that they will be ready for use when
the time comes"

the class. A letter from John D.
Rockefeller Jr., dated Cannes France

to Christ.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.-O. c. Ish,
a chauffeur in the employ of the
Worthington garage, was the victim
last night of a murderous assault by
two robbers, who, believing they had
killed their victim. made their escape.
Yesterday afternoon two we'll
dressed men entered the garage and
engaged a public automobile. They
were taken by Ish to the country
south of the city, where they stopped
at a roadhouse and pretended to
transact some business. 1t was dark
when they started to return. When
five miles south of Los Angeles the
man upon the rear seat struck Ish
upon the head with blackjack and a
moment later the other man struck
him with the heavy crank used to start
the machine.
Realizing that he was about to be
robbed and fearing that the men
might run away with the machine, Ish
turned it into a ditch. He remembered
no more until he regained conscious
ness long after midnight. The two
men were gone and so were his watch
and $40 in cash. He made his way to
a telephone and notified his employer,
who went for him in another auto
mobile.
Ish is now in a hospital. He will

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-United States
Senator w. A. Clark of Montana won
a victory over a stubborn penny-in-
the-slot machine at the Fourth street
station of the Subway this afternoon.
Senator Clark was first noticed at the
station when he was trying to jam a

would not go. of course. and an alert
station attendant informed him of the
fact, adding:

the slot machine. A few minutes later
an angry protest came from him

The guard ran to another guard, who
told a special policeman, who informed
one Of the ticket Office men. In another
moment the four men were anxiously
working the little drawer, shaking the
entire mechanism and trying to kick
the post out Of plumb. All the time
the Senator stood to one side, declaring
1t was an outrage. One northbound
train after another passed, but the
Senator needed not. At last, after ten
minutes, the machine was induced TO
disgorge one attenuated piece of gum.

MISSoURPS NEW SENATOR.

II HE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE, at
almost the last minute of the eIev-
enth hour, managed TO elect a United
States senator to succeed Senator Fran
els Marion CockreH. The Successful can
didate was Major William Warner.
whose ofIice-holding record is about as
lengthy as that OF any man in the coun-
try Since 1867, a period of nearly for
~ years. Major Warner has drawn a
salary from the public in one capacity
or another. Now it is probable that he
has reached the summit of his ambition.
for he is the first Republican senator
from Missouri since the reconstruction
period.
In fairness il should be said, however
that Major Warmers record has been
an honorable one. Nobody has been
able to point to any wrongful acts and,
while he is not as able a man as some
who might nave been selected from the
Republican ranks in Missouri, he Will
undoubtedly be more devoted to the
interests Of his state than any of the
leading Republican candidates he de-
feated. He viii not however. attain the
intrinsic standing achieved by Senator
Cockrell.
The disgracefuI squabble the legisla-
ture INDUCED in for weeks viii 50 thor
oughly disgust the people of Missouri
that they will not again, at least for
years, elect a majority of Republicans
to their lawmaking body. The lesson.
even though it has resulted in the loss
OF a most valued Democratic senator,
viii not have been learned in vain. The
Democrats who have been controlling
Missouri politics for years have been
far from blameless.
During their long occupancy of the
offices they had come to the belief that
their grip on the state could never be
broken. The Republican legislature
was the result of an uprising OF the
people. aided by the overwhelming pop
ularity Of Roosevelt over Parker. The
Democrats have been taught that they
must keep their bad men out of Office.
that they must nominate only such men
as can command the respect of the bet
ter element in their communities.

government will be placed in the posi-
ton Of sustaining and enforcing a
monopoly.
The history of the case has been gone
into before. but a resume of it will be
interesting at this time. The Countess
de Camara's ancestors were granted by
the Spanish government many years
ago the sole privilege of slaughtering
cattle for the people of Havana. How
much was paid for this right is not a
matter of record, but there must have
been some consideration. The monop-
oily was a very profitable one. for only
through the Camara family was it pos
sible for Havana to secure beef.
AS long as Spain governed Cuba it
never occurred to any one to question
this hereditary right. General Brooke
considered it an imposition on the peo-
pie and an offense against sound public
policy. He therefore abolished the
privilege without any ado. The resi-
dents of Havana were duly grateful
but the Countess de Camara didn't like
the thought Of giving up the comfort
able income she derived from her mo-
nOpOly. She brought suit against Gen
eral Brooke as the representative of
the United States, and the first hearing
of the case has resulted as stated.
Judge Holt reached his opinion by an
interesting chain of reasoning. He held
that her special privilege was property
under the laws of Spain. In the treaty
of peace between the United States and
Spain this nation agreed to take cogni-
zance OF all property rights in Cuba
that existed prior to our occupancy.
This he interpreted TO mean property
rights under the Spanish code. There
fore, it was an act of injustice to de-
prive the countess of her monopoly
without paying her a just compensa-
ton therefor.
Judgment was entered against the
government for the full amount
claimed, $3.50 600, and if the supreme
court sustains the lower tribunal the
money must be paid.
