INSTRUCTIVE LITTLE TALE.

There were two brothers, George
and William.
William was the good boy. He
was studious and methodical, and eco
nomlcal.
He went into business, and by hard
work and much self-denial at last ac-
quired a modest competency.
George was a gay, careless. easy
going fellow. who never applied him
self seriously to anything. but en-
joyed life as he went along.
One day, however, when he had
nothing else to do, he invented a
mouse trap 1t was a simple little
affair, but operated on a new princi-
pie, and was different from any other
trap in use.
He showed it to his brother Will
liam.
Bill" he said, IF you will lend me
money enough to patent this thing
and put it on the market I'll divide
all the profits equally with you"
Nit answered William, glanc,
ing carelessly at the trap. There's
nothing in it,"
Thus repulsed, George went TO a
shrewd capitalist, who at once invest
ed $4,000 in his invention.
And lost every cent of it.
William was right.-Chicago Trib

BOY HAS PLAN TO FEED HORSES.
Automatic Labor-Saving Device is the
Work of Fourteen-Year-old.

Niddleboro, Mass.-One OF the most
unioue DISPLAYS in the home work de-
partment at the recent exhibition CIV
on by the pupils of the public schools
was the automatic horse feeder made
Inv Arthur Ripley, 14-year-old high
school student. Visiting teachers and
ernerintendents were much interest
ed in this labor-saving device, and the
voung electrician was kept busy dur
ing the exhibition explaining his feed
err and demonstrating its usefulness.
II consisted of large box with two
nartitions for the different kinds OF
grain. the bottom of which was hung
on hinges. A lever which held the
bottom in position was connected with
the alarm gear of common alarm
clock. which was pat in small box
on the side of the grain receptacle
The time OF the clock in front corre-
sponded with the time on the clock in
side the box.
The alarm is set at the time the
horses are TO be fed, and the farmer
could then 90 about his other work,
and at the proper time the alarm
would go off, releasing the lever and
dropping the bottom OF the box, which
allowed the grain 10 fall into the
manger in front of the horse. A small
electric light is attached to the upper
side of the clock box, which shows the
farmer where the box is without a
lantern. SO that the possibility of set
ting fire TO the barn is averted. Each
day the box is filed with grain and
the lever adjusted.

THINKS HARTMAN IS SAFE.
1airman Knapp Sees No Way to
Prosecute the Finaucier.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, July 19.-Chairman
sion does not think E. H. Hartman can
be prosecuted criminally under the federal
antitrust laws.
In the first place, he pointed out in an
interview here relative to the Hartman
railroads, the Wall street wizard secured
immunity by being called as a witness"
1.-THE question of comforting immunity was
carefully considered" he said. land 1t
seemed plain that 1t was more important
to develop and expose the actual facts than
to prosecute. There appeared to be no
way of getting to the bottom Of some of
the transactions except by putting Harri-
man on the stand Moreover, he was called
as a witness in the Northern Securities case
some years ago and his examination then
covered to some extent the Southern Pa
c1c purchase.
THE immunity statute is very broad to
say nothing of the statute OF limitations,
and it would seem that there was no
ground for criminal prosecution.
"Harriman's method Of extending and
unifying railroad control is not in viola
ton of any federal statute In any case.
OF course, II the result in a particular
instance. brings about such restraint OF
competition as the antitrust law forbids.
that law may be invoked In so far as II
applies 49,, u...,ot,o, IN the
fore or in the laws of the state under

solidation of railroad lines can be freely
