The things that give the most pleas

the greatest pain. Among flowers, for

all poisonous, and to eat the smallest
part of the root of either of them
would produce fatal results, while the
juices of the leaves will cause violent
vomiting.

endeavoring to serve upon John ID.
Rockefeller, head of the Standard Oil
Co., a subpoena issued by Judge Lam
dis, OF the federal court at Chicago,
Mr.. Rockefeller was located in this
city Wednesday and personal service
made upon him by Deputy United
States Marshal Charles l.. Frink, of
North Adams.
After accepting service, Mr.. Rookie
Teller explained that he had not been
lendeavoring to dodge service, but that
he did not know exactly what was
wanted of him.
Early In the day Deputy Marshals
lF'rink and James Ruhl, the latter Of
the Boston office, visited Taconic
farm, but Parmalee Prentice told
them that his father-in-law was not
there. The officers professed to be
satisfied with the statement and de-
parted. remarking that they had no
them to go through the house.
Deputy Ruhl boarded the train for
Boston and Frink went to his home in
North Adams, about % miles from
this city. Later Frink decided to pay
another visit to the farm and he re-
turned to Pttsfield and drove out
there in the afternoon. He proceeded
through the wooded driveway into the
open space in front of the house and
recognized Z. : Rockefeller sitting on
the piazza. The deputy passed the
subpoena to the oil man, explaining at
the same time that Mr.. Rockefeller's
presence in the federal court at Chi
caso on July 6 was demanded.
Mr. Rockefeller accepted service
with smile, shook hands with the
deputy and expressed pleasure at
meeting him. He invited the officer
to sit on the piazza and rest, which in
Vitation was accepted. Mr.. Rookie
feller referred to the newspaper
stories that have been printed about
him recently and ridicule,' the idea
that he had been surroh 'ed by
armed guards, or that, the aconic
farm estate had been equipped with
a searchlight
The federal court in Chicago de-
sires Mr.. Rockefeller's presence so
that he can be interrogated regarding
the affairs of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, against which pro-
ceedings have been instituted BIZ the
authorities.

Viewed from its brighter side, the
holiday was truly glorious. A smiling
sun and moderate temperature
brought tens of thousands to the
beaches, the parks and amusement re-

noise and fun making.
In the background the police and
hospital surgeons went grimly about
their work of removing the dead and
ministering to the wounded Last
night the police were reckoning the
cost in casualties of the days cele-
bration. At q late hour the list was
not complete, but it was known that
this celebration had cost seven lives,
that a half dozen persons were dying
and that hundreds of others were be-

COURAGE in Daily Life.

Bravery helps to make a nation
safe. A nation of towards. however
prosperous, cannot be a great nation.
Men and women who dare fling them
selves against great odds for the sake
of their convictions; who do not
shrink from crying out against any
evil that may menace the purity Of
the government; who will, if need be-
sever all political, social and financial
ties for love of country-these are the
heroes to which nation resorts in
her hour of need.

GET-RICH-oUICk GAMES.
Government Investigating the Opera
tors of Bucket Shops That Do
Business Through the Mails.

In times of prosperity there are al
ways chances for the CRATER. During
the past ten years has been the era
of the get-rich-quick man. No sooner
does one scheme play out than an
other takes its place. Thanks to the
ever diligent postal inspectors, and an
unrelenting government, the schemers
are not so plentiful as few years ago.
For some years a number of supposed
legitimate grain and stock brokers
thrived in both eastern and western
cities. These were active in soliciting
through the mails, and through local
offices the business of small investors
The millions of money gained from
the unsuspecting people will never be
known. In New York, Chicago, st.
Louis and other cities large and ex-
pensively conducted Offices were main
tanned. Once the government got on
the right trail, there were irregulari-
ties discovered that resulted in fraud
orders being issued against a number
of the concerns. The end is not yet,
and the work of determination will be
kept up till there Is none in operation.
Buying stocks in a fair market is
risky business, but when there are
schemers to stack the cards against
the investor, there is not ghost of a
show. Many bank clerk and busi-
ness man can trace his downfall to
speculating in the bucket shops.
