He Could Do Better.
on Sinclair, the noted novelist, n

address at a vegetarian banquet, attacked
the trusts.
THE trusts etfrontcry is amazing he
said. 'They commit a sin with as virtu-
Gus an air as you or / would do a piece Of
charity. And there is no getting around
them, no heading them off. They are like
old Eliphalet Hoskins.
"Eliphalet Hoskins was one Of the old
residenters of the Head of Sassafras, q
small Maryland village. He was lighting
cred. He lifted eggs, bars of soap. potatoes,
chickens-anything that came in his way.
The Head Of Sassafras people knew his
failing well, but on account of his great
age, they had pity on him. He was never
punished.
1T happened that one night a Dad Of
dried fish arrived at the wharf too late for
the keeper of the general store to remove
it. There was nothing to do but cover 1t
with a tarpaulin and leave it out all night.
In this there was ne risk though. The
Head of Sassafras people were an honest
lot.
They're an honest lot here muttered
the store-keeper. as he drew a t|arpaulin
over his dried fish, and just then he heard
cautious footsteps. He looked up, and
there was old Eliphalct Hoskins cycling the
mound of fish gloatingly.
THE ~storekeeper gave a grunt OF vexa-
ton. Then he selected a couple OF fish
and extended them to the old man.
"Eliphalet,' he said, I've got to leave
this pile Of fish out here over light. Now,
If / give you these two fine fellers, will
you promise not TO steal acne of the 9TH
ers?'
"Eliphalet looked at the two fish in the
storekeeper's hand. Then he looked at
the mountain Of them underneath the tar
,paulin.
That a fair offer, Mr.. Smith, he said
slowly, 'but-well-I Dunno think / can
do better"

: 1T is always in rather bad taste for a

cause discomfort when they allude to
good times and prosperity.
There was an old man applied TO the
minister Of the little village of Paint Rock
for the post of grave digger. His refer
ences were good, and the minister agreed
to assign him to the churchyard. He was
to be paid so much a grave.
The grave digger haggled over the
price, finally accepting 1t.

Pension Commissioner Warner Says
 She Is of Negro Blood.

Clinton, H., July 24. - Vespasian Warner, commissioner of pensions, one of the prominent members of President Roosevelt's official family and leading politician of Illinois for thirty years, has gone into court in this city and has sworn that his step mother, Mrs. Isabella Robinson War ner, is of negro blood. The climax in the Warner will case, in which the commissioner of pensions is vitally interested as an heir of John Warner, came with the filing by the respond ents of an amended answer making the startling charge.
 The estate of John Warner, who was Commissioner Warmers father, is val ued at nearly $2,0OO,00O, and the wid- ow is fighting for her dover rights. Vespasian Warner, who is executor, alleges, however, that an antenuptial agreement made by Isabella Robinson, later Mrs. John Warner, and his father stands in the way of the widows claim and that furthermore his step mother deceived his father by con- cealing from him the fact that she was part negress.
