Baby Snake Wins Battle.

A baby RATHER which was hungry
and a mouse which had no desire to
be a victim fought it out yesterday in
a cage in the window of a fish store
at 1865 Fulton street, Brooklyn, says
the New York World. Mother Snake
and eight little brothers and sisters
watched the baby fight its first bat
tie for a meal.
Fifty men and women crowded
about the window during the Is min
utes that the mouse held out. The
baby RATHER chased him from one cor
ner of the box to another, striking,
coiling and uncoiling. while Neither
Snake looked on with pride,
Mr.. Mouse had several bad falls in
trying to get out of the box, and
finally fell and lay still. Baby Rather
surveyed it's victim and prepared for
a meal. But Mother Snake. being
frugal. took the meal away from her
son. deposited it in a corner and kept
all the family tantilazed for an hour,
Then they fed.

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Gotta, Confined 10 Bed and In
Constant Pain, Cured by Or.
Williams Pink Pills.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be a disease of the blood.
1t is necessary, therefore, TO treat it
through the blood if a permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is in the blood
the pain will return, perhaps in a new
place, but it will surely return. DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, of West Cheshire,
Conn, is the wife of the village ma
chinist. Several years ago" she says,
81 was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. l was in con-
slant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell so badly that / could
mo- get about at all to attend to my
household duties. There was one period
of three weeks during which / was con-
fined to the bed. My snfferings We're
awful and the doctors medicine did not
help me.
Zone day a neighbor told me about
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and / decided to
try them. After l had taken them a
short time / was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
better, the cure was permanent"
Remember DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
not act on the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
tone up the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
sleep, give strength to the weak and make
hungry and energetic. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, 90 cents per box. SIX

Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washing

E~piscopalean to the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give a reception
in honor of the bishop of her diocese.
She decided, however, that her already
famous d-rawing-room was not sufi-

of reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
a yet time in which to make the
room NOR attractive and Nae. Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and a few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry, but that was
not enough for a reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.

Records of waoers.

Betting is neither so general nor so
promiscuous as it was $50 years ago,
when books for recording wagers were
always kept on the tables in the much
f%requented coffee houses of London.
Some of these books are still to be
found among collections of antiques,
and they make interesting reading.
All manner of bets are entered there,
on marriages, births and deaths, on
the duration of a ministry, on the
length of the lives of prominent per-
sonages, on the possibility of earth
quakes, and even on hangings.

With the opening of the Suez canal
there was a profound alteration OF
trade, and the most important routes
now start not from Mauritius or the

But except on the lines from the

accurate knowledge of the winds, cur.

CONCENTRATION EVE. !
Operation Of Injurious Trusts Can 30
curtalled by Efforts OF the s

An, evil that at present is receiving
more than ordinary attention in the
press is the concentration of vast
amounts Of money In the hands of
corporations. The accumulation OF
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law, will inevitably become
divided. The millionaire who has
family, at his death will apportion to
each member share Of his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
Increased by work and by speculation
and Investment by the children, they
in return will divide the accumula-
tons among their offspring and even
tually, II matters not how great the
fortunes of any one Of the family
may become, It Is only matter OF
time until there is scattering Of the
money, and great portion of 1t will
pass from the members of the family.
On the other hand. corporation meth
DDS mean the building Of system
that prevents the operation of the
natural law. In other words corpora
tions are machines that work con-
.tinuously, and when one part is brok-
en- It Is replaced by new one. Thus
the accumulation goes on. The death
of Rockefeller will not result in a
discontinuance Of the Standard Oil
company; the death of the present
stockholders Of any of the large trust
companies, banks or insurance COM
panies will make little difference in
their existence. All will go ahead.
The safeguards of corporations in
many cases are excellent. But the
inclination to control trade by the
crushing out of smaller concerns and
the destruction Of legitimate compe-
tition and the controlling of prices,
seems against public policy. All
classes are compelled to. pay prices
dictated by these trusts for the goods
produced. Each year finds new COM
binations to control trade. II is. the
GENERALIZATION of capital that makes
such operations possible. The person
who assists in concentrating money in
.arge' financial centers does his part
toward helping along such combines.
l. is only by individual action on the
part Of every small producer and lab
orer in the country that conditions
can be changed. Stand by every home
Industry and do your part toward
keeping money in circulation at home

Time to Awaken.

Any plan devised that tends toward

billions have been used In building up
trusts that work against the best in
