HERO IN DISGUISE.

This is the tale Of the Muggsy,
Wickedest lad In the state.
Tough as a ten cent beefsteak,
without redeeming trait;
Known as the village terror,
Proud he was head OF the gang;
knowing ones all predicted
MuSgSy was born to hang
Said he would wake some morning
Strung to a pole or tree.
Was that the fate OF MuEgsy7
was 1t? Just wait and see.
Stroiling along one morning,
Tough as an owl unbiled,
Muggsy beheld a street car
Right in its path a child!
Innocent little creature
Clad in a pinafore:
Dirt on its face was plenty,
Though there was room for moro.
DID he rush in and save il,
Scoring reward or fee,
Act like real stage hero?
DID he? Just wait and see.
BABY that played so swectly,
innocent, young and glad,
was a policeman's daughter:
Muggsy despised its dad.
Did he for that, you wonder,
Stand like a fellow dead?
NO For he grabbed the street car,
Tossing it over his head,
. Killing some forty people.
Others are crippled yet,
Car was a wreck. but Muggsy
RESCUED that child. you bet.

Oil Octopus.

Findlay, o., Oct. 12-Evidence was
brought out by the state in the trial
Of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio
for conspiracy against trade showing
4 the ownership Of the Manhattan Oil
Company of Ohio to be IN the General
Industrial Development company, linn
/ itA1, of London, England Also that
/ the Manhattan, which puys and pipes
crude oil, does not compete with the
/ Standard, but does compete with indie
pendent companies. These facts were
brought out in the testimony of F. T.
Cuthbert, president Of the Manhattan.
A similar criminal suit TO that on trial
Is pending against his company, and
he testified under the order of the
court, which renders him immune from
future criminal prosecution.
He Produces the Books.
The witness had been summoned
and ordered to bring the books of his
company showing the record of stock
holders meetings. The books were
produced. The record of the last an
nual meeting showed that Cuthbert
had been elected president by voting
under power of attorney 1896 shares
of stock owned by the English holding
company; that this comprised the en-
tire stock Of the company with the ex-
ception of five shares, Of which one
