 How the Coup Was Planned.
 It is also worth while to remember that this Is perhaps the most important legislation of the past quarter of cen- tury, barring only the rate bill and the or ginal legislation which launched LIS in the canal building business. In the first place. President Roosevelt took very much to heart his defeat in the courts of Chicago in his prosecu- ton of the Beef trust
 sent Agents to Investigate.
 The upshot of the planning was to appoint Mir Neil and Mir. Reynolds committee to make quiet and exhaus- tive investigation as to the facts and, thus fortified, to go after the Beef trust With legislative weapon. and not through the courts.
 When the report was made the pres ident caused a bill to be drawn up by officials in the agricultural department. and gave it to Senator Beyeridge to in- troduce.
 The president has so far refused to make the report of MT. Neil and Mir. Reynolds public. a portion of it, it is said. being unprintable

DYING IN HARNESS.

Only fallen horse, stretched out there
on the road
Stretched in the broken shafts, and
crushed by the heavy load
Only fallen horse, and circle of
wondering eyes
Watching the cruel teamster goading
the beast to rise.
Hold! for his toll is over-no more
labor for him;
See the poor neck outstretched and
the patient eyes grow dim.
See on the friendly stones how peace
fully rests his head,
Thinking, if dumb beasts think, how
good it is to be dead.
After the burdened journey, how rest
full it is to lie
With the broken shafts, and the cruel
load-waiuing only to die;
Watchers, he died in harness-died in
the shafts and straps;
Fell, and the great load killed him:
one of the days mishaps:
One of the passing wonders marking
the city road
\ toiler dying in harness, needless of
call or goad.
