to make themselves perfect that the save for the bow

"There is more thing will show you, Chief and
warriors, said Gerald, and then must be going, but
expect to back again to teach you other things
and may even bring you knives and more fish hooks;
but here is something which you must treasure. By
it you make the sun kindle your camp fires in

magical about it, and leave it with you Chief as

Gerald said this while he holding the glass in

focused upon his left hand so that it burned him con-
sderaby. He snatched his hand away with Jerk

the sun had swung around and was shining through

its rays fell uncomfortaby on his left hand.

that point Senator Aldrich has

ANOTHER CASE OF
CAIN AND ABEL

Frank, brother of John d. Rock
efeller, has taken occasion to say
some very uncomplimentary things
about the oil king. He has told some
of the mean things John d. has done
in amassing his great fortune and
promises to give the world a great
sensation one of these days. He
even threatens to make it so warm
for his brother that he will be
compelled to leave the country.
This is time when the general
public is ready and willing TO believe
almost anything about one of the
wealthy men of the country The
courts. with the backing of the fed
eral government and the authorities
of some of the states have been dig
ging down into the workings of some
of the trusts In an effort to discover
violations of law and in this there
has been success. The probe has
struck the pus sack and letting out
of much corruption has resulted, in
some instances. with every jab with
the probe, the public in general has
said, Amen" and even appeared
jubilant over the result, but now,
when brother to the man who
has been most prominent In the
defense in most of these trust prob
ings, promises to reveal something
his brother, which will
startle the whole world the SYM
pathy of the level headed citizens
should turn to the accused.
Shortly after the creation of man,
one brother turned upon another aid
slew him because he was more pros
porous and this threat of Frank
Rockefellers savors very much of the
old Cane and Abel incident.
The public is anxious to learn all
II can concerning the workings of
the Standard Oil company and its
head, but it does not care to hear one
brother turn upon another brother
and berate him, making it so warm
for him that he must leave the coun-
try. John d. Rockefeller is looked
upon with great deal of suspic-
ion, but with all of his misdeeds
and all of his violation of law, he
is worthy of more esteem than any
other man who will voluntarily speak
evil of his own brother.
Let the courts find out all they
possibly can about the oil king, but
in the name of decency Frank
Rockefeller should remain silent.
