milk had never reached her.
When the truth reached Uncle Mason's ears
be was very angry. George was marched
down into the orchard, made to cut and trim
a keen switch, and then soundy whipped.
But the whipping was prefaced by these re-
marks from his uncle:
Now. George, l want you to know that
am not whipping you because you split the
milk and broke the pitcher-that was an acci-
dent. But am doing this because you told
me deliberate lie. Every time you lie to me
shall punish you; but if you come to me and
honestly tell the truth | will treat you differ

Some time after this George was set to
mind the corn shocks, which were being raid
ed upon by Mr.. Humans geese. In driving
them from the field he seized a cornstalk and
struck one on the neck. The stalk, made
heavy by the soil which still chung to its roots,
was too much for the goose's neck and it
broke. Now, here was another dilemma.
What should he do?
He had thrown the goose into a fence cor

Reports of Attorney General Had

tertaining an idea of abandoning his
pursuit of John D. Rockefeller.
with the convincing testimony
from the mouth of Mr.. Rogers" says
the report, 'the presence on the wit.
ness stand of John D. Rockefeller is
not necessary to the success of Mr.
Hadley's cause"
Perhaps this is true Perhaps Mr.
Hadley can make out his case with.
out calling Rockefeller to the stand;
but there is another case, besides the
one being prosecuted. 1t is the PEG
pies case against John d. Rockefeller
richest man in the world.
Mr.. Hadley has the case of the state
of Missouri VS.. the Standard Oil Com.
pany During. its progress another
case spTang into existence. 1t is the
People VS.. John D. Rockefeller. and
Mr.. Hadley having brought it into ex.
istence and being a representative and
servant Of the people, is in duty
bound to prosecute it to a finish. The
peoples law court, given authority by
them for their protection in life, lib
erty, property and the pursuit of hap
piness, commanded Mr.. Rockefeller to
appear before it. Had the command
been issued to the ordinary citizen II
would have been obeyed. but it was
addressed to the richest man in the
world, who should have given obedi
ence with even more alacrity than the
common citizen.
But Mr.. Rockefeller selected the
other course. He set between him
and this mandate from the peoples
law his great wealth, and from be,
hind he babe defiance to the peoples
institution. The battle is clear-cut-
only too we'll defined. It is the peo
pies law and their courts on the one
side and plutocracy on the other.
Mr.. Hadley, therefore, has in his
hands the moulding Of future popular
opinion, not of the law but Of its adj
ministration. The public is convinced

He has declared himself candidate
for reelection on the platform-"a
man is as young as he feels" People
who talk about age and age hmita-
tons evidently never have heard Of
Senator Pettus. Why, he had reach
ed the time for chlorOforming, ac-
eording to the Osler doctrine, back in
sixty-three-about the time he was
performing madcap pranks of dar-
ing in defense of Vicksburg. He was
a young officer then, fighting with the
Confederate army. 1t seems that the
situation had become desperate; vol
unteers were called for forlon hope.
A brigade of reckless Texans offered
for the service, and Pettus offered to
lead. And he did lead-led where
war was hottest. and at the head OF
the column. his six feet four looming
large in front. that prOtruding lower
jaw set on taking those works at
any cost. Where that tall figure rose
and that black straight name waved
these Texans followed. They loved
him for his daring, and when all was
done and they learned that he was
from Alabama and not from Texas
they insisted on adopting him for
their state. and by one acclaim he
was christened "Old Texas" Pettus
was a forty-niner. He rode from
Alabama to California on horseback
with a company of some forty of his
neighbors. He was a mere lad then
Of twenty-eight but he had already
had adventures in the Mexican war,
in which he fought. To cross the
continent on horseback in forty-nine

The people. unanimously; want Ed
mund Winston Pettus to continue to
serve them in the United States Sen
ate as long as he lives. Yet they are
preparing to hold an election to de-

is that when Senator Pettus's present
term expires, in 1909, he will be

Alabamans think he will not live
