of the branches Of the trees that had been
employed in the erection of the queer little
house.
Whoever built the cabin selected a spot
which evidently was but seldom visited by
man. The surrounding trees, bushes and
vines made an almost impenetrable barrier
to the small clearing in which the hut is
situated. In one corner of the little abode
was a large sheet-iron box that had perhaps
been found on some junk or rubbish pile.
This was used as a stove. and piece OF
rusty stovepipe protruded above the thatch-
ed roof. There were evidences about the
place that 1t had been the abode OF either
recluse. tramp or perhaps fugitive
from justice within year past. The dis
up many theories as to who had been the
occupant Of the place. and 1t was as deep
mystery to residents in the neighborhood
as 1t was to the fern hunters.

Pulajanes have turned loose on a town out

day to a group Of citizens gathered In a
country settlement not far from the capital
city. What might them critters be?" he

ally. but relying for ready explanation
upon the boundless knowledge Of the village

worthy at once recognized that the burden
of calculation rested upon him. The others
lightenment.
Now 1t happened that the wise man didn't
know Pula jane from fried lemon, but
he rose to the occasion. Leaning back right
grandly against soap box on the counter
of the village store he delivered himself OF
the following:
These Pulajanes, gentlemen, are nothing
to make such an ALFRED fuss over. In fact
they are not much worse than an ordinary
swarm of mosquitoes. Don't let those high
sounding names fool you. The Pulajanes are
only insects kind Of bacteria or germ, ac-
cordfng to science. But they can bite, and
the worst thing about them Is that they
have wings, which makes them sorter hard
to get away from. Also. might add, there
Is kind which Is very bad at times in
some sections: That Is the variety armed
with gyrascutle appendages. They are not
to be fooled with. No, gentlemen, don't
Dother them for they are very ugly when
they get mad"

The Evergreen Hedge.
From the Garden Magazine.

By general consent the hemlock Is ac-
corded the honors as the most ornamental
OF our eastern evergreens. The branches
have dropping habit, and grow from
the trunk irregularly, thus avoiding the
stif appearance so prevalent among the
spruces. 1t looks well planted in clumps
or as single specimens.
Some people consider the hemlock hard
to transplant. but with me 1t Is one Of the
most easily moved evergreens. Near the
seashore 1t does not thrive as a rule, but II
once 1t becomes established It will make q
luxuriant growth. <
AS a hedge plant the hemlock surpasses
all other evergreens. 1t stands trimming
we'll, and on account OF its small foliage
and slender branches always has q grace
full appearance. Pruning is the important
thing in keeping hedge up to the stand
ard. For the first few years after plant
ing little pruning will be necessary. An
evergreen hedge takes longer to acquire
shape than the more common deciduous
hedges. but II plants about two feet high
are used in planting it will not take more
than six or eight years to grow a well
formed hedge.

CORPORATE CREED
DENOUNCED BY
JUDGE GROSSCUP

Boston. April 6.-'The Nations Corpo-
ration Problem was discussed at a din
ner OF the Economic club last night. the
principal debaters being Peter S. Gross
cup OF Chicago. justice OF the United
states Circuit Court OF Appeals. and
Frederick j. Stimson OF Boston, profess
sor or comparative legislation at Harvard
university The dinner was held at the
Exchange Club building and was largely
attended. Judge Grosscup spoke In part
as follows:
Judge Grosscup discussed with consider
able detail the development OF the cor
poration In national life. He expressed
the opinion that the promoters OF dis
b honest corporations have hourished under
a policy OF Indifference by the state and
mat the overcapitalized corporation has
become the rule
He made the point also that the corpor-
alton so intricately put together that no
man not an expert can put his finger
on the particular security that his par
tcular certificate is supposed 10 represent
IN also the rule. After citing two In
stances OF gross overcapitalization the
speaker said:
"All over this land in ever city, in
every community are scars hAe this. In
spring the feeling that within the boun-
daries OF corporate activity the restrain
ing hand Of luw and order IL never ex-
erted. And to this lawlessness. 10 this

nave drawn away. until the whole vast
field Is left to the few, who are prepared
10 take their chances In "A frontier kind
Of battle for the right 10 exist"
The great disease OF corporations. Judge
Grosscup thought, is that the people az
large are practically excluded from au
permanent stake In the countrys cor
porate property To put the corporation
upon n basis that will justify the peo-
pies trust, Judge Grosscup said the first
step in the process should be the trans
fer from the state TO the nation OF not
simply the regulation. but the incorpora-
tion In the first Instance OF enterprises
that In their nature are national But
national regulation or supervision alone
would prove insufficient, he believed lie
went on:
Enterprises that are national must find
their corporate right 10 exist I'm the ma
ate property will be tolerated that is not
calculated 10 serve honestly the peoples

as their interests as mere patrons and
customers. A national ideal like that en-
tered upon. the states will follow in their

The supreme issue of the time will be
adequately met only when our people are
brought 10 the point OF determining once

NEWLANDS WOULD
NAT|ONALEE ALL
THE RAILROADS

Washington, April SIN the senate yes
terday Mr.. Newlands discussed the Rail-
road Rate bill and Mr.. Daniel the ques-
ton Of the lack of representation by the
southern states in the public service. Mr.
Newlands advocated amendments to the
Rate bill providing for the national in
corporation OF railroads, and announced
himself as favorable to the government
al ownerhip OF those utilities.
Mr., Daniels speech was based on a pro-
vision i'm the Urgent Deficiency Appropria-
tion bill for the representation OF the
United States at the next Pan-Amerlcan
congress. to be held in Rio Janeiro next
July
He said that the plans Of the state
department did not contemplate repre-
sensation Of the south or the far west.
and then entered upon a general con-
sideration OF southern participation in
public affairs, contending that political
differences should not be permitted TO
prevent such participation on n broader
scale The Deficiency bill was amended
so as TO provide for more delegates and
as amended was passed.
When thu fatfruad Rate hfff yvrS- taken
up Mr.. Newlands contended that the bill
should fix n maximum percentage OF
profit to be allowed 20 the roads. and to
TINS emu ne would nave the valuation
OF all railroad property carefully ascer-
tanned In addition he would have a ma
tional incorporation act, which would be
the most effective safeguard against over
capitalization. All these regulations
would work automatically in the direction
OF n reduction or rates.
He argued that the great majority OF
investoS prefer q steady Income OF from
TO per cent TO speculative enterprises
and drew the conclusion that the deter
mination OF profit would not have the ef-
feet OF restricting railroad extension. This
plan would have the effect OF taking the
railroads out Of politics, a most desirable
condition, I'm Mr.. Newland's opinion.

ownership was but short step Tor the

CONFUSION OF NAMES.
Hoped That Confusion OF Identities
VIII Not Result.

Frank X. Welles, county school SUI
perintendent. believes there is some
Thing in a name. Also that a mans
name is his private property and
should not be used upon another
without the general consent of all con-
cerned. Consequently he does not
appreciate the liberal use which has
been made of his cognomen in the
columns of certain Pendleton paper,
sometimes known as the Morning
Misque.
Not long ago, when Walter Wells
was appointed by the council to have
charge of the street repairs made
necessary by the flood. the paper in
question gave the position to Frank
Welles," instead. The honor was ap-
preciated by the school superintend-
ent but he believes that credit should
be bestowed where the same is due,
and he claims no record as a street
maker.
But another error which occurred
wednesday places the superinten-
dent in still another role. In the Trl-
bune's account of the Stone trial Tues
day 1t stated that Frank Wellles,
of the Idle Hour saloon," was 10 ;,;s
