WHEN CUBA WAS FOR SALE.
Offered to France for 100000 In
time of Louis Philippe.

1t Is not generally known that
Cuba very nearly became a French
Colony in the reign of Louis Philippe,
for Spain, being without means of
raising money, Queen Christina Of
fered some of the principal Spanish
colonies for sale.
Secret negotiations were carried on
al the Tulleries between Senior Cam
puzano, the Spanish ambassador;
Senior Aguado, the banker; Prince de
%Talleyrand, and King Louis Philippe,
and the first article Of the treaty, by
which Spain was to sell Cuba to
France for 10000, 900 francs, or So
600, 900, was quickly agreed to.
But the second article, relating to
Porto Rico and the Philippines, broke
off the negotiations, for Spain asked
$2,000,O 600, whereas France would Of
fer only $1,400, 600, King Louis Phil
ippe asserting that the acquisition OF
the Philippines might very easily in
volve him in a war with England.
1t is significant that in those days
neigther party paid the slightest at
tention to what the United States
might think; but the Spaniards must
now regret that they did not accept
for 1t would have saved them many
millions in the ensuing go years.

CHINA THE LAND OF DUCKS.
Staple Article Of Food for Residents
Of Celestial Empire.

There are more ducks in China
than in all the rest of the world.
China, literally, is white with these
birds, and day and night the country
resounds with their metallic and
scornful voices.
Children herd ducks on every road,
on every pond, on every farm, on
every lake, on every river. There is
nc back yard without it's duck house.
There is no boat, little o. big, with.
out it's duck quarters.
Even in the cities Of China ducks
abound. They dodge between the
coolies legs. They fit squawking out
of the way of the horses. Their in
dignant quack will not unseldom
drown the oar Of urban commerce.
All over the land there are great
duck Matching establishments, many
Of them Of a capacity huge enough
to produce $4,000 young ducks every
year.
The Chinese duck is extremely ten
der and d~elicate-the best tame duck
for eating in the world. Duck among
the Chinese is the staple delicacy.
1t is sailed and smoked like ham or
beef,and duck eggs are eaten as chick
en- eggs are in America.

The enthusiasm of the good Norwe.
CLANS for Queen Alexandra is the
more remarkable as, in the matter Of
crowned heads, they have some ex-
cuse for affecting to be blase.
The German emperor, of course, is
a regular frequenter of the fjords, but
he allows no liberties to be taken
with his sacred person. On one occa-
sion when the Hohenzollern anchored
on a little town, the German consular
agent, as in duty bound, went aboard
to pay his respects; but, not being
possessed Of a uniform, 1t did not APP
pear to him necessary to appear at
midday In the comic opera kit OF
evening dress on board the vessel.
He therefore presented himself in
an attire that compromised the Official
correctness of frock coat by brown
boots. His majesty, however, resent
ed the informality, called the atten.
ton Of the consul general at Bergen
to the solecism, and announced his
intention Of ceasing to honor the

It Ii alleged that the defendants,
through the Standard Oh company
and the other corporations, are en-.
eaged in producing, purchasing and
transporting petroleum In the various
fproducing districts In the United
States, principally situated in New
York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois. Kansas. Indian Territory, Ok
lahoma, Louisiana, Texas, Colorado
and California; that they own and con-
troll nearly all of the pipe lines in
said states, and other pipe lines ex-
tending from Kansas to the seaboard;
also pipe lines in Texas and in Cal
ifornia; that they own a large num-
Der of tank cars and steamships en-
gagged In transporting oil; and that the
said defendants have, through the In
strumentality Of the Standard Oil com.
pany Of New Jersey Ia holding corpor.
atom, eliminated competition between
all of the separate corporations and
monopolized the commerce in oil in
the United States.
Control the Pipe Lines.
It is alleged that the Standard Oil
company has had control Of the carry
ing business by pipe lines in and from
all the oil producing regions Of the
United States except Texas, Louisiana
and California; that they charged ex.
cessive and unreasonable rates, and
rates which were discriminatory in
favor of the Standard OIL company;
that they have refused to furnish
equal facilities for receiving and de-
livering oil Of Independent shippers
and reflners; that they have refused
to transport oil belonging to others
than the defendants and their associa-
ted companies, and since the month of
August, 1906, have refused to transport
oil of others except in such large guam
titles as to completely prevent indie
pendent producers and refiners Of oil
from using their service, and that they
have forced 16 independent refiners
nov doing business in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, and producing their crude
oil through the Standard Oil com
pany's pipe lines, to sell all of their
export oil to the Standard Oil com
pany. thereby eliminating their com
petition. This contract was procured
through threats of the Standard Oil
company to reduce the amount of
crude oil which it would sell to the
independent refiners.
Enjoy Preferential Rates.
1t is alleged that n of the prin-

the defendants have been enabled to

HE REslsTs

The man with the high silk hat
and the fat cigar was the n who put
temptation in the way Of Policeman
Barney Flynn. This man had been
successful as a politician In a minor
way, and he realized that there were
elements of strength In the resourceful
conscientious little policeman who was
we'll and favorably known to virtually
everyone In the ward. Furthermore,
he was looking for some one to run
against an old political enemy.
why don't you enter the alder
manic racer" he asked one day.
Go way, now; go way from me-"
returned Policeman Flynn, waving his
arms to keep the man at a distance.
"Ye ha-ave tn ilimints Nv tn conta-
gion about we, an I'll take no

politician.

STANDARD OIL ON THE RACK.
Department of Justice Begins Suit at
St. Louis to Kill Giant Trust.
The Petition Filed Asks That the Combination Be Declared Unlaw-
full and Restrained from Doing Business-Hitory Of the Mo-
nopoy and How 1t Is Alleged to Restrain Trade
Its Enormous Profits.

Of the Standard Oil company Of New

of the trust certificates previously is
sued by the trustees.
The stock Of this company was in
creased by a small amount, and is
now $685. 300.
Some Standard Oil Methods.
The petition then shows the meth
DDS employed by the Standard Oil
company to monopolize the oil bust
ness. These include discriminating
contracts with the railroad companies,
manipulation Of rates, local price cut
ting, bogus Independent companies,
etc.
The bill sets up among others a con-
tract between the Standard Oil COM
pany and the Tidewater Pipe company
whereby the Tidewater companies are
limited to liz per cent of certain
business in Pennsylvania and New
York, and the Standard Oil company
to receive SSh per cent of the bust
ness, the Standard Oil company guar
anteeing the Tidewater company $780,
900 per annum profits, thereby elm
mating all competition between them.
The bill alleges a contract made
with the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany in 1884, which was in existence
until 1906, by which the Standard OIL
company was able to maintain the
public charges for transporting crude
oil from western Pennsylvania at 40
and as cents a barrel to Philadelphia
and New York respectively. The Stand
ard Oil company, through its own
pipe lines, transported the oil for
eight cents a barrel.

II the story is true that comes from
Nebraska II is as easy to bunco the United

unsuspecting agriculturist of Cobosh Corn
ers from his savings. 1t is alleged that
5000 acres of land on the North Platte
in Thomas county, which were withdrawn
from settlement by the president in March
to add TO the forest reserve contains less
than a hundred trees and is as bare OF
vegetation as the rest of the plains. After
withdrawal the land was leased TO cattle
men who now have the run OF the whole
place. and settlers are barred because II
is a forest-on the map.
Several items In this sad story need re-
view. In the first place cattlemen would
hardly apply 10 pasture their herds in the
woods. In the second place, the North
Platte is accompanied throughout almost
it's length In Nebraska by a railroad, and
every passenger sees that there is no forest.
save such as has been planted by settlers
on its lower reaches. In the third place.
Thomas county is not touched by the Platte
river; It is crossed by the Loup and the
Dismal, and also by railroad. Either the
geography has been mixed in this narrative
or somebody has hopelessly added the
facts.
