why So Sick?

In the investigation of the affairs of
the Standard Oil Co.. it was discovere d
that nearly all the officers of that con-
Germ were in a very bad state of health.
Rogers. the active manager, though
able to run an automobile, was too
sick to attend court. Flagler, another
principal man in the concern. though
able to attend 'fanctions,' was too sick
to testify. The directors we're all in
disposed There were other witnesses,
however, and from them was extracted
the amazing methods of the great
trust. 1t has evaded every law, not
only Of the nation, but of every State.
1t has done SO Systematically and per,
sistentlY. 1t is the greatest criminal
in the history of the world. The story
is enough to sicken any man. And
this is quite sufficient and mature
excuse for the sickness of Rogers,
Flagler and the rest. The question is.
will the chief culprets escape the peni-
tentiary, or has another case of Alton
Immunity been extended.

they resemble the wlld boar. They

Halbert Knightlinger and Albert
Knightlinger are 13-year-old twins

Miss Carrie Siger, their teacher in the

been committed by bis brother.
She got into trouble SO often that
yesterday she appealed to Prof. John
A. Hollinger, the assistant principal

be would get the right one. He did.
Now he will have to answer a charge
of assault and battery made against
him before Alderman Mcdowell by Mis-.
Mary Knigh tlinger, the mother of the
twins.
Yesterday one OF the twins blew up
a paper bag and smashed it, making

giving them two years free training
in nursing. The object of those pro

to young women from the smaller

is an absence of hospital facilities. The

wherein the student is provided with
room. board. laundry, nurse uniforms,
and all the retiuements of good home
with suitable training, instruction and

the students fare home is paid. The
term can be shortened to eighteen

which is very valuable in itself. Hun

The Mexican Wild Hoo.

An interesting story concerning the
javeline, or Mexican wild hog is told
by the Colutta, Tex, correspondent of
the Kansas City Star. He says; 1.-The
iaveline, which is in general use by
ranchmen throughout this section as
watch dog is far superior to the ordi-
nary dog when it comes to guarding
the home and premises of persons to
which it has become attached. The
javeline is easily domesticated if taken
when 1t is pig. There is hardly
Mexican household in this section that
does not have a pet javellne, which
serves many useful purposes. The
javeline of the southwest has very few
characteristics of the hog. Beyond
the fact that it closely resembles the
hog in appearance, it might we'll be
classed as an entirely different species
of animal. 1t is remarkable that so
little has been written about the jave-
line by men of science who make a
study of animals. 1t is asserted by
men who have spent many years in
native haunts of the animal that it
should have a promi nent place in tn
natural history of this country. In
point of fearlessness and courage it
surpasses any other animal that roams
the chaparral of the southwest. It Is
one of the few wild animals that does
not hesitate to attack man. 1t is fear.
ed by every deer hunter who visits
this region. Innumerable Instances
are known of hunters having been
forced to seek refuge in trees to avoid
being torn to pieces by enraged jave-
lines. They are SO ferocious in their
wild state that only the most intrepid
spOrtsmen will brave the dangers of
hunting them. President Roosevelt
when police commissioner of New
York, made trip all the way to Tex
as to hunt javelines. He spent two
days hunting the animals on a ranch
near Uvalde. He had an exciting ex-
perience with the beasts. According
to the statement of his guide bunches
of javelines got Mr.. Roosevelt into
close quarters several times, but ht

1t Is Not Dangerous.
The uninitiated are prone to look up
on the balloon as a sort Of country
fair attraction, whose principal inter
est lies in the risk the aeronaut takes.
This is a mistake.
Like the automobile, the balloon re-
quires an experienced pilot, and when
such a one is in charge serious or fatal
accidents are recorded. Most
balloon clubs require all ascensions to
be made under a regularly licensed
pilot, who receives bis certificate from
the club only after having demon
strated his fitness. The pilot who is
willing to go up only in favorable
weather and to come down at the
proper time need never endanger lives.
He knows he has only to open the
valve and he can descend. He has only
to throw out a handful Of sand, and
he can prevent his balloon from com.
