Judge Kenesaw Nj. Lands of the
Federal District Court In Chicago on
Saturday fined the Standard Oil Com
pany S29,240,000 for having violated
the Elkins law pertaining to rebates,
on 1,462 counts. It was the maximum
penalty permitted by the statutes. And
1t Is the largest assessment for an in
fraction Of law that Is recorded In all
history, for all governments. This vast
sum of money Is not to be paid without
protest, however. Attorneys for the oil
corporation announced their intention
OF perfecting an appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals. From there
1t Is announced the case win go 30 the
Federal Supreme Court.
Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands Of the
United States District Court, who In
flicted the unprecedented penalty, did
not stop with the imposition of the fine.
He directed attention to the studied
insoience" OF the legal representatives
OF the corporation to the court of which
BE was the representative and COM
mented forcefully upon 1t. After de-
nouncing the methods of the oil com
pany, which he declared imposed bur-
dens upon every class of citizens and
wounded society more deeply than open
depredations of criminals. the jurist
expressed regret that only a fine could
be imposed for violations OF the law
under which the company was indicted.
While this regret was being voiced 1t
was recalled that there stili are pend
Ing against the oil corporations seven
indictments like the one Just disposed
OF. containing 4.422 counts. Should
there be convictions on all these counts
there would be possible additional fines
of Sss,4i0oO0.
Springs second Sensation.
While occupants of the crowded
courtroom leaned forward in amaze
ment at the drastic arralgmment OF the
corporation and the gigantic penalty
melted out to 1t, the jurist stirred them
anew. Judge Lands had no sooner
mentioned the amount of the 500, 24O.-
o00 fine than be caused second ire

How It Worked Out.

He had been gazing thoughtful
ly at his book of animal pictures,
when suddenly he called out:
Father, does it cost much to
feed lion?"
Yes"
How much?"
oh, lot of money
A wolf would make a good
meal for lion, wouldn't it? faith
err"
Yes, expect so.
And fox would be enough
for the wolf. wouldn't it?"
Yes, yes
And fox could make a meal
off a hawk"
1 suppose So
And hawk would be satisfied
with a sparrow"
OF course
And big spider would be a
good meal for the sparrow,
wouldn't it, father?'
Yes, yes
And a fly would be enough
for the spider?''
Certainly
And a drop of treacle would
be all the fly would want, would
MT it,"
oh, stop your chatterl-.
But wouldn't it. father?'
Yes"

lion for more than a year on a

How to Find the Time
With a Handles Watch.

Some time ago poor old peas
ant who had invoked the kings
wrath was seized by the kings
soldiers and placed in a dungeon.
His Majesty was present, and had
the old man searched before being
incarcerated. All his personal
property consisted of a cheap
watch, small penknife, shilling
in cash, and a lead pencil. The
poor old man begged for mercy,
but his pleading availed him moth
ing, and he finally asked to be
granted the privilege of know
ing the length of his sentence. In
reply the king took his knife and
watch, which lay on the table, and
after taking the knife and prying
the hands off the watch, returned
to him his watch, saying. When
you have learned to tell the time
correctly by this watch in your
dungeon cell, you will be liberat-
ed. "
The poor old man, knowing that
the king meant a life sentence,
staggered into his cell and wept
bitterly. Nevertheless, he was
liberated in twenty-four hours,
having accomplished the wonder
full task of telling the correct time
in the dark with a watch without
hands. How did he do it?-Scien-
tihc American.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and Ehat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam.
ed you have runbling sound OF inper-
feet hearing, and when # is entirely clos

Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine

KINDERGARTEN WORK.
Exhibition at New York Shows Children
Have Been Taught to Observe
Their Surroundings.

large sections of this country ant
of some foreign countries as well
has both its trained and unframed
| intelligence represented in the ex
hibit of kindergarten work that i.
now being put in place in the
American Museum of Natura
History for the convention of the
international kindergarten Union,
which begins its sessions Tuesday
at the Teachers College. There
is also valuable historical collec.
lection of the works of Froebel, the
author of the kindergarten, as well
as some of the original material
used by him.
The first impression made upon
an observer upon viewing the
mounted collections is expressed
in the exclamation: What a
paradise for children" for here is
the world in the little. There are
little houses complete in detail and
furnishings, little chairs, little
tables, little people, little carts and
little fire engines.
The modern kindergarten has a
theory that the child should be
taught first to observe his own en-
vironments and to express that
observation in pictures or other
mediums of expression. That part
of the exhibition space that has to
do with the children of New York
City shows an instant appreciation
on the part of the children of their
surroundings. There are lamp
posts with the surroundings of the
tenement house districts suggested
in the background, city houses,
and the washing hanging on the
roof. Lighted window and light
houses suggest that the children
have been down the bay, while a
boy flying a kite is mute evidence
that some of them have gone on
fresh air excursions to the country.
A fair geographical idea of the
nature of various sections of the
country may be gained by study
of the exhibits. for in many is
represented the objects the children
see every day.
The children of New Haven re-
fleet the nearness of the sound,
which must be an important factor
in their lives, by pictures showing
stretches of blue water. In Pitts
burg apparently there is still
smoke and dirt, for the skies of
some childish drawing suggest that
these things are not unknown to
the small artists.
The Philippine exhibit expresses
the state of the people. The forms
of the articles sent are those taught
by the American teachers, but the
substances used are native bamboos
and fbres.
But of quite as great interest to
the kindergarteers attending the
convention as the work of the
children will be the work of the |
teachers. For nearly every exhibit |
from a place where there is a train
ing school for teachers has space
for the teachers work
In some cases it is merely the
work of students who are learning
to become teachers in others it
more advanced. The latter shows
a great deal3 of attention to art
work. Some of the teachers in
little water colors and crayons
show that their art has been strong
ly affected by the japanese.
The exhibition will be formally
opened on Wednesday and will re-
main in its present quarters three
weeks.
