"beg pardons" used to get on my
nerves until l could hardly refrain
from a protest. He wouldn't wear his
hat In the presence Of ladies, and I've
seen him standing on street corner
bareheaded in the broiling sun for an
hour at n time while he talked with q
female acquaintance.
I am reminded Of Perkins by some
actions Of yours that noticed while
you and Anna May were visiting US
last week. That old hypocrite was the
embodiment of exaggerated courtesy
to every one he met, with the single
exception Of his WIFE Unless he had
company he would drop his manners
on his front porch and on the other
side Of his threshold become the most
disagreeable reprobate that ever wore
q long suffering woman to the grave.
don't mean to intimate, my boy,
that there is any resemblance between
you and old Perkins, but l saw when
you were here that. you were already
beginning to follow the general tend
ency Of persons who wear trousers and
forgetting at home some of the ameni-
ties you would never overlook outside.
It's SO easy to do. We are all naturally
savages, prone to drop the social graces
whenever we think nobOdy's looking
and our families are supposed to kind
ly shut their eyes. Yet the little cere-
monies and verbal expressions which
constitute our everyday code of Ell
Quette were designed for the sole pur
pose of smoothing the rough edges Of
our intercourse with the world, the
flesh and the devil and keep us from
flying at one another's throat, as we
would like so much to do.
A Potent Force.
Next to the Christian religion polite
ness Is the most potent force In the
world today, ana it is just as effective
in ones own home as 1t is in the house
across the street. Now, without any
more beating around the bush. l want

How Big Men In Oil Trust Are Hit BY Fine

NEW YORK. August 4--The amount
of the nne s2o,24o,0oo, inflicted upon
tho standard Oil Company by Judge

sion Of the average man.
A good, first-class battleship can be

900, OoO So If Uncle sam finally gets
the money and elects to spend 1t on the
navy he can buy five fine battleshlps

If New York City had the $4,000, 300.
it could build another subway like that
running under Broadway. The city
paid a5.O0O,OO0 for the original sub
way, but the contractors made profit
of nearly S70O0.000, so the actual cost
OF construction was about $4,000. oOO,
The most valuable single piece OF
real estate In the city according to the
Tax Department. is the Equitable Life
on the block bounded by Broadway,
Nassau, Pine and Cedar Streets Tho
market value Of that property Is about
$14O0OOoo, or less than half the fine

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
FOOTBALL TEAM.
Ten Members Of Last Years
Eleven Will Form Nucleus for
Crimson This Fall.

NEW YORK, April 4.-ScveraI meet
sings at the Harvard Club, in this city,
Of former Crimson football players,
have brought about discussions that
hespeak brighter outlook than usual
for a successful season at Cambridge
next fall. Only three regular men Of
last years eleven and one substitute
will be lost, leaving ten men who play
ed in tho last Yale game to form n
nucleus.
The centre position will be cared for
by Captain Parker. who has played In
that position for three years. He will
have an able substitute in H. B. Bar
ney, who played two years ago. Othe:
candidates will be c. j Nourse. NJ Dore.
p. Plumb and G. Hadden. The loss of
kersburg at right guard will be Sc
riously felt, but one Of the many sub
'stitutes under Coach Cranes eye may
develop into valuable material. 1t is
expected that Waldo Pierce Will return
and hold down right tackle. AT pres
ent there is no prominent man for left
tackle. Warren and Phillipbar or some
OF the guard candidates may prove
good men. There will be a fair number
OF good ends available next fall; Orr.
Starr. Macdonald and Kcnnard, of last
years team, will all be back.
Prospects are also good for next
years crews. Three men were lost out
OF the Harvard varsity eight. by gradu-
alton, and one out Of the four. Far
sley's place at stroke will be the most
difficult to fill satisfactorily. C. G.
Bacon. the present stroke of the varsity
four oar, and his brother, r. G. Bacon,
who this past season was stroke and
captain of the freshman crew. will be
the most likely candidates for the po-
sltion. No. A will not be SO difficult
a place to fiji. 1t is quite probable
that only one preliminary race will
be rowed before the Yale contest next
wear. }

trial Of tho Standard OIL Company, Of
Indiana, which resulted in conviction
and a fine OF s29, 1000, and will So
lcct the witnesses to be subpoenaed.
Statute of Limitation.
1t developed to-day that the reason
for haste in this investigation is that
the statute of Limitation Is running
against the government and the Chi
cago and Alton VIII escape Indictment
on between 80 and 100 counts of the
Lace on which the Standard OIL was
convicted.
The statute of limitations bars pros
ncuton on offenses committed more
than three years before Indictment.
Many of the shipments on which the
Standard OIL Company, of Indiana. was
convicted Of accepting rebates, occurred
between September, 1908, and August
.l9O4. When the grand jury convenes
on August 14th, a few days will suffice
to present the evidence against the
Alton Railroad. The jury Will con-
slider attractions of the Elkins law oc-
curing from 1904 until March 1905
Subseq uently, another grand jury will
be summoned to take cognlzance of
Cffenses committed from March 1906
until June, 1906. when the new rate
law went into effect.
