AD Hats.

Every WOMAN knows what chip hat
Is, but probably few know why it IL
called by that name. The reason is
simply because it is made not exa rtly
Of chips, but Of wood shavings, which

crimped almost beyond recognition.

The Cat.

A very young essayist wrote in an

quadruped and has four legs at the
corners. If you want to please the
animal you must stroke it on the
back. If it is very much pleased it
sets up its tail stiff, Ike a ruler, so
that your hand cannot get any far

lives, but in this country it seldom
needs them all because of the pres
ence of Christianity."

The Bureau of Corporations has
made a report to the President, Gov
ering an exhaustive inquiry into the
methods employed by the Standard
Oil Company in the conduct OF its
business. The report shows an amaz-
ing condition of affairs to have eX-
listed for number of years, in the
way of rebates of freights by the ply
acal repayment Of money and by re
duction of card or published rates by
the transportation companies. By
these methods principally the Stand
ard was enabled TO stifle all competi-
ton and assume almost absolute con-
trol of the petroleum market of the
whole country. 1t Is charged in the
report with the deliberate destruction
Of competing companies, and the
Gripping of the oil industry in all its
phases in all the oil producing sec
tions of the continent. There Is
enough violation of law presented in
the report to justify the dissolution
Of the Standard Oil Company, but
in preference to such action it would
be better TO give some of its members
terms of a few years in the peniten-
tiary. and permit the corporation to
reform itself
