/ The first of a series of "Hia-
watha" pictures adorns the cover
page of the August American
Boy. The contents may well be
called the vacation issue on ac-
count of the numerous excellent
stories it contains. The TOmlin-
son, Sprague, and Ellis serials
are continued with increasing in
terest; in addition there are two
shorter serials, and a number OF
shorter stories. The sketch OF
Robert Fulton, the inventor OF
steam for propelling boats, will
be of interest, at this time, on
account Of the celebration of a
century of steamboat travelling.
Chats With Big Americans this
month is an interesting interview
with William A. Pinkerton, head
of the famous detective agency.
The usual, departments are filled
with matters of interest. In ad-

First Division Of the 18th Army
Corps of Company l. After en-
listing his patriotic spirit did moi
wane, for he remained a true and
gallant soldier until the close OF
the war, when he received an
honorable discharge. While in
the ranks he participated in
twentysix different engagements
the most important of which
were the battles of Perryville,
Stone River, Dug Gap, Chicka-
mauga, Lookout Mountain, Mis-
sionary Ridge, Resaca, Kenesaw
Mountain, Peach Tree Creek,
seiges of Atlanta and Savannah,
and at Raleigh, where the final
engagement took place. His no
BILE and exalted work as a pri-
vate now being over, he returned
to his old home, where anxious
parents were waiting to welcome
their most honored and beloved
son.
When twentyone years of age
he united with the Methodist
Episcopal church at Coletown
and remained a true follower of
Christ. After his marriage he,
with his wife, united with the
Reformed church at Bethel. La
ter they cast their lot with the
Reformed church at Hillgrove,
of which he remained a faithful
and valued member until sum-
moned to the realms above where
there are no hardships, pains and
sorrows, but where joy, peace
and never-ending bliss reign su-
preme.
That death cometh as a thief
in the night was again verified,
when the Grim Reaper clasped
him in his icy fingers and re-
vealed to us that. in the midst of
life there is death. He leaves a
wife, two sons, a daughter, four
grandchildren, three sisters, two
brothers, and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn his loss.
At his death the community los
es a valued neighbor, the home a
loving husband and father, and
the Nation an honored and res
pected citizen.
So live, that when thy summons come to
join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall
take
His chamber in the silent halls of Death,
Thou go not like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and
SOothed
By an unfaItering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.

The Oil Kings Plea.
BY LEO.

ly thirty millions of dollars, which
has made the nominal head OF
the concern to be a little talka-
tive. At first he simply said that
Judge Landis would be gathered
to his fathers long before the fine
would be paid, which means that
the company will try to keep the
matter in litigation as long as
possible on any sort of technical
ity. This is likely to prove true,
but in the long run Uncle Sam
may prove mightier than even
the oil king. It was in bad taste to
make such a threat, and it goes
to prove that Ida Tarbell is not
far from the truth when she says
that the Standard Oil Company
has become stupid.
In addition to the above threat
: sne oil king has been moved to
plead in defense of himself and
company the benevolent nature
of his operations in the oil busi-
ness. He does not now deny the
violating of law by rebating, as
he did formerly, but puts in the
plea that while making money
for himself he is also making
money for other people, for the
hundreds of comparatively poor
people who have invested their
earnings in the stock of the Stan
dard Oil Company. AS the pre-
sident of the concern, and as a
philanthropist, he must think of
his poor associates, he must see
to it that they have good returns
on their investment.
That is the plea, a very fiimsy
one, as any one may know by a
little thinking. There can be no
denial of the fact that while the
oil king is making money for him
self he is also making lesser a.
mounts for his poorer associates
in business, and giving employ
ment to many good people. No
one denies that; no one blames
him for that; but all other large
corporations, Of necessity, do the
same. No man, no matter what
may be his ability and tact, can
operate a big concern without
employing laborers. Some, do
this with more benevolence than
others, but necessity compels the
employment of labor.
Let us concede to this man, the
oil king, the benevolent disposi-
ton he asserts; let us admit that
he keeps his millions in business.
enterprises for the sake of poor
people-a large admission yet
the question forces itself upon
us, to-wit: Has the oil king, or
any other man, the right to vio-
late the law for the benefit of
himself or his fellow-stockhOld-
ers, rich or poor?
Congress made a law against
rebating; it has been in existence
for years, and the oil king must
have known the force Of it. And
he must have known that his
company had been violating that
law continuously for years. Was
he above the law of the land?
Judge Lands of Chicago thought
otherwise. In his court the Stan
dard was found guilty on humid
reds of counts, and the judge
very properly assessed the maxi
mum fine for each transgressiOn,
amounting in all to nearly thirty
millions of dollars.
Now the plea of benevolence is
put in. The Standard Oil Com
pany is paying wages to an army
of employees. and paying divi-
dends to hundreds Of frugal in
yestors. Well, what oft? Is it

CONCHOLOCY.

One OF the most interesting
studies of nature is conchology;
students who take it up get fas-
clnated with it as the field is so
large and full of interest. Com
ing from the depths of the ocean
that is SO little known of, the odd
shapes and. beautiful colors of
sea-shells, corals, sea- beans and
the numerous numbers and vari-
ties, over fifteen thousand in all
and to know they were the home
OF some bivalve and the odd
shapes are given them to pro-
tect them from their special en-
emies in their local waters.
Sea shells are alive as we'll as
the bivalve that makes it's home
therein, and when the shells
wash ashore or the mulluscous
animal dies the shell dies and
loses its color and becomes brit
tie and is Of no use and won't
even polish and is called a dead
shell and of little value. All
bright shells are gathered off the
rocks or grappled far oat in deep
water.
The greatest curiosity called
Oreaster reticulatus (star- fish,,
being an exact shape of a five
pointed star and having no head,
mouth or eyes, still it is the
greatest enemy the oyster or
clam has. They are found in
several different waters from the
size of dollar to Is or 16 inches
across. The finest specimens
come from California coasts and
collectors pay from so cents to
$l.O0 a piece for them gladly.
La some states the study of
conchology is obligatory in the
public schools. Many schools
have fine collections of sea shells
as object lessons for the students
in their studies.
The California Exhibit Cars
have one of the finest collections
OF sea-shells, corals, sea beans
and star-fish ever seen in the i'll
terror.
