The report contains the net results Of a
study of the petroleum business during
the year 1904. 1t is the first official state
ment OF the operations and methods of
the Standard Oil company by which the
reports states, through "scandalous rail-
way Determinations" and other unlaw-
full devices they have secured and main
tained an exclusive domination of the
petroleum industry"
1t is stated that in 1901 the Standard and
AFFILIATED concerns refined over 81 per
cent of the crude oil run through re-
lneries; produced more than Sc per cent.
of the Country's total output of ilumi-
mating oil and transported through pipe
lines nearly nine-tenths OF the crude oil
Of the older fields and IS per cent. Of the
crude oil of the mid-continental field
The report points out that the monop-
oily enjoyed by the company does not rest
on the ownership of the source Of the
oil supply which amounts to about one
sixth Of the total, but that its growth
and present power rest primarily on the
control of the transportation facilities. -

It O and Ruins.

A bartender plaintively bewailed
the necessity Of having to rub con-
gealed drops of sticky beer off the
bar. But if I let them remain he
said, in tones Of n seeking compass
sion, they rot the wood"
"They rot the wood, do they?"
fiercely repeated the beer bibber.
Then, what in the name Of common
sense do they do to my stomach?"
at is beyond me to tell" replied the
manipulation of drinks. "Of one
thing I am confident, and that Is,
that mans stomach is made of cast
iron. Elsewise how could he with
stand the amount Of fluid that he
pours into it? Let me show you
something" He placed a piece of
raw meat on the counter and dropped
it into a small measure Of imported
liquor. In five minutes the meat had
parted into little pieces, as though
hacked by a dull knife.

ers are held by life insurance compa-

How the Buffalo Died.

1t was up and down the Red River
that Henry passed during the years
of his trading at Fort Pambian, and
it was c. N. Bell, we believe, who,
in papers read before the Historical
Society of Manitoba, first brought to
notice the extraordinarily interesting
Henry Journal, which was later elab-
Grated by DR.. Coues.
Here was a land which at certain
seasons was run yer by the buffalo
in such numbers that the grass was
worn off it, the willows and the un-
derbrush trampled to powder, and
the traces worn smooth and polished
by the rubbing of the great brutes.
A tributary Of the Red River was
called the Scratching River. On these
streams as on others in the West
there was always wholesale destruc-
ton of the buffalo in the spring when
the ice went out. AS Henry says,
1T really is astonishing what guam
titles must have persisted, as they
formed one continued line in the mid
die of the river for the parts of two
days and nights. One of my men
found an entire herd of buffalo that
had fallen through the ice in Park,
River and drowned. They were still
sticking in the ice" A month later
he writes: Buffalo still drifting
down stream. 1t is most intolerable
the stencil arising from the vast
amount of drowned buffalo that lay
across the banks of the river in every
direction, above and below, and of
which we can see no end. They tell
me it passes all imagination the great
number of buffalo that are lying
along the beach and on the banks
above. I am informed that almost
every spring it is the same, but not
always in such immense numbers as
his."-Forest and Stream.

Origin of Names.

1t is appropriate for the historian
to recall that the original Spanish
name Of the now stricken city was
mission de los Dolores de Nue5tro
Padre San Francisco de Asis' (mis-
sion, of the Sorrows Of Our Father,
st. Francis ofAssisi), just az Santa
Fe's full name, as translated into
English is 1.-THE True City of the
Holy Faith of St. Francis" In one
case the short cut Americans took
the name of the saint, and the other
it's chief spiritual possession. But
the griefs, or sorrows, of St. Francis,
perpetuated in one Of the principal
streets Of San Francisco, as well as
in the famous old mission itself, are
peculiarly suggestive at this time

Newspapers Part of Government.

Judge ~Sulzberger, of the Philadel-
phia Court of Pleas, in resisting the
desire of the grand jury to indict a
STRENGTHENING contractor, announced
the doctrine that the newspapers are
a fundamental part of the govern
ment. IF a member of a grand jury
has any criticism to make of admin
istrative Matters" he said, "he
should go to a newspaper with them,
and not endeayor to transfer the
grand jury into a machine for in
vestigations on its own account"
He said that the constitution recog-
nizes the press a a critical agent,
and that it is their duty to find out
evils and bring them to the attention
of the proper authorities.

A Personal Thought.

Let me remember that the kindling
of the light is only part of the work
that needs to be done. The other
part is the sustaining and n%ourishing
of the light when kindled. and If the
first part is Gods, the second part Is
mine. Much secret fellowship with
God, much ~prayerful intercourse with
Him, nothing else than this will main
tain my light. I must watch, there

CHAP r XXI.
The Brotherhood.

Lena'S singing lesson the following
afternoon was interrupted by the ar
rival of Monsieur jacob. This gentle
man was accompanied by his friend,
MI. Ryan, a keen-eyed individual,
who was ever ready to espouse the
cause of the oppressed of every ma
tionality, provided there was money
to be made and little risk attaching.
Presently a feeble-minded English
lady of uncertain age a. lived, and i'm
hediately behind her a mild-man-
1ered German gentleman Of short
sight and unkempt hair.
This was the first time Lena had
met the members of the Brotherhood
of Liberty, and she was divided be-
tween an inclination to laugh and a
desire to run away. But everybody
was desperately serious. Monsieur
jacob was sauve and gentlemanly as
usual, but. not entirely at his ease.

been very secure. and he instinctively
felt that it was slipping from him day

age-a type of bravery which shines
in the presence Of women. but goes
no distance among men.
There vas just enough mystery in
the proceedings to content the Eng

ed Teuton without unnecessarily ag-
gravating the Baroness.

reproductions of them cannot be

in their sale John Greenberg vas

offense he would be sent to jail.

Teeth in Wrong Place.

James Knarr, a farmer of Paluski
County, was husking corn in a field
last November when he suffered an
attack of violent coughing. When it
passed a moment later he noticed
that his new set of false teeth had
departed, whittier he knew not, but
he had a suspicion that he swallowed
them.
However, a young heifer expired
on his farm to-day, evidently as the
result of starvation. 1t had eaten
nothing in weeks. Examination OF
its stomach disclosed the missing
store teeth.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Chinese Railroads Appreciated.

The advantages of railways, which
ignorance declined to have at any cost
only a few years ago, are now being
fully appreciated by the merchant
and the travelling public generally in
China. Where lines are at present
working they are utilized to the full
by both goods and passengers, and
the owner Of produce is able to bring
or send his goods to a msrket instead
of, as hitherto. disposing of them to
an up-country agent, who had his adj
ditional profit to make out of the
transaction.

The doctrine of the Holy Ghost.

He is the effectively present deity;
He is God continually in the midst OF
men and touching their daily lives,
He is the God of perennial and daily
aspiration, the comforter to whom we
look in the most pressing needs OF
comfort which fill our common life.
He is the God of continual contact
with mankind. The doctrine of the
Holy Ghost is a continual protest
against every recurring tendency to
SEPARATE God from the current world.
