Cairo, Egypt.


Dear Cousin Charley:
Do you remember at the last county
fair one of the side shows called the
Streets of Cairo? Well. here we are in
the real streets of Cairo.
Dorothy and 1 and Spots have been
out cumming and taking in the sights
There are lots of camels and donkevs
which are used for carrying merchandise
or maybe just water in old dirty goat
skins.
We saw-a big fat old lady, evidently a
tourist. on a little tiny dOnkey-you
couldn't see anything but the donkey's
ears and tail A boy was behind push
ing and padding the animal with fat
stick We followed them about a block
and when she got off the boy ran around
in front of the donkey, looked in its
eyes. felt its legs. and commenced crying
My donkey die" My donkey die.'
until the old lady gave him some more
money Then his donkey seemed to get
well all of a sudden and he hoped on
its back and away they went.
The people are awfully dirty and lazy
the women dixie out in lot of bum
jewelry, and wear a veil across the
lower part of their face. They carry
their children straddle of their hips. and
on account of their religion won't let
the kids ''shoO' flies off their faces
kind of tough on the kids, and generally
makes them have sore eyes.
OF course the pyramid and the Sphinx
are the greatest sights in Egypt. and We
drove out there from Cairo. There are
nine pyramids, and the talIest one is
40 feet Enthusiastically taller than a
New York sky-scraper. They are hOl-
low and were originally built as tombs
for the Egyptian kings and queens. The
Sphinx is whopping big stone image
of a lion, with a mans head on il, and
was worshiped long ago as god. 1t is
12S feet long and 66 feet high
We went up the Nile in a boat as far
as Assam, which is over the border in
Nubia, where the blacklist coIored gentle
men you ever saw live. They go in
for dress reform over there, and instead
of wearing cOrSets and French heel
nose and one in each ear-and a kind
of shell girdle around their waist The
children wear rings in their nose and
ears and that is about all Sometimes
they wear a string around their waist
They are fine swimmers, though. and
live in the water.

you again soon. Yours.

A SERIOUS WRECK
At HEARNE CROSSING

Last evening there came very near

An l. & G. N. freight was approach

while Houston & Teycs Central -

was approaching the crossing. The
hagman saw that from some reason
the freight was not slackening speed.
and unless something heroic was done
it would cut the passenger train in
two. So ne acted, and acted quickly.
He threw a switch that sent the freight
onto a derail, and the train left the
tracks, the locomotive and two or
three cars blocking the main line of
the l. & G. n. in the wreck which fol-
lowed.
No 5, which left the city for the

last night. was diverted by the way Of
Sellers, and came in from the south

The wrecking crew was on the north

Garfield's report was confined large

sion's report goes into the whole sub
iect OF monopolisuc control of the oil
market With a wealth of detail it
describes the devious methods en-
ployed by the Rockefeller combine to
crush competition.
Some of these methods are outlined
by the commission as follows:
The Standard has sold different
grades Of oil at different prices from
the same barrel.
Widespread Bribery Charged.
1T has paid employees OF independent
oil companies for information as to the
business Of those competitors. and has
paid employees of Industrial companies
to secure the adoption Of its oil in
preference TO that OF its competitors.
1T has followed every barrel of in
dependent oil to it's destination. Its
agents are instructed to secure Gus
toners at any sacrifice.

TERRIFIC ARRANGEMENT
OF The Standard OIL Company is Made Today By
The Interstate Commerce Commission

1T has tempered with the oil in
spectors in different States. The laws
of several States concerning the in
spection of oil are singularly defective
and this has been turned to profit by
the Standard.
Pays for "News" in Papers.
THE Standard buys advertising
space in many newspapers which it
fills, not with advertisements, but
with reading matter prepared by
agents kept for that purpose and paid
for at advertising rates. as ordinary
news. The assumption is that this lit
erature furnishes many Of the ideas
touching the great benefits conferred
upon the public by the Standard Oil
company.
The Standard has repeatedly. after
becoming the owner of a competing
company. continued to operate it I'M
der the old name. carrying the idea
TO the public that the company was
still independent and competing with
the Standard.
1t has used such purchased or in
dependently organized companies to
XIV of competitors by such companies

Operates fake" Concerns.
The operation of such fake indie
pendent concerns has been one of its
nest effective means of destroying
cAnpetition.

the competitive methods of the Stand

obtained from evidence taken under
oath. 1t is stated that the Standard
was given permission to explain or re-
but the facts.
Calls Methods Oisreputable.
This evidence. If true" continues
the report. demonstrates that the
competitive methods OF the company
in the past have been unfair and even
disreputable. Its motto has been the
destruction OF competition at any cost.
and this policy has been pursued with
out reference to decency or conscience
and il is significant that the larger in
dependent rehneries sell the greater
part of their product in foreign coun-
tries.
"One Independent testified that rs
per cent of his product went abroad.
and said he could compete with the

DDS as followed in this country would
not be tolerated but that he could not
