Mr.. ROCKEFELLER's POSITION.

simultaneously with the news that a
federal grand jury at jamestown, N. T.,
has found indictments against the
Standard Oil company for rebating,
which may result in fines Of $18, 24O,-
600, and right on the heels of Judge
Lands fine of $29, 100000 against the
same company, John ID. Rockefeller
appears in print as an apologist, says
the Chicago Journal.
He is ''harnessed to cart" (which is
a poetic name for the interests OF the
people, and he must keep pulling. And
why? Because he must make money for
himself. If he did not do that, nobody
else would make any money. "There
is hardly line of business in this
country" says Mr.. Rockefeller, Sin
which dullness does not mean loss to
me-" This naive ADMISSION that he is a
commercial octopus, with his tentacles
grasping every branch of business,
seems perfectly natural to Mr.. Rookie
Teller, however il may strike the people.
The idea of Mr.. Rockefeller interview
is that his interests and those of the
people are one, and therefore the people
should not grumble at him, but keep on
toiling, for only so can they gain any
thing. II they try to overthrow him they
will only injure themselves, and there
fore they had better choose to help him.
This may be true, but ii is an un-
pleasant thing to contemplate. Are So
900, 900 Of people so subjugated that
they can only prosper by increasing the
wealth OF one man, taking their pay as a
commission, so to speak, on his gains?
Are they well paid by being allowed to
keep one dollar out of every hundred
they create for him?
II Mr.. Rockefeller is right, he is in
much the same position toward the
American people as the Egyptian kings
were toward the people of Egypt. The
Egyptians built the pyramids, and as that
could not have been done if they were
not fed and clothed, the kings allowed
them food and clothing. II they had
not worked in the quarries they could
not have got food and clothing, and
therefore twas to their interest to work
as hard as they could.
Has civilization advanced no further
than this in 1000 years?

AS she was crossing the Benton farm,

Benton's prize bull was confined in the
next lot. He could not bother her.
Then with q rending crash, the mad
dened animal broke down the flimsy
fence and came charging across the lot

Dora, in a glance, measured her
chances and swung up into the single
apple tree that stood in the center
of the field. Its branches hung low.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK

Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but a day of toll should not
have its penalty of pain. Why is it.
then, you ask, that backache so often
follows? 1t is because the modern ten.
dency is to overwork, to tear down
faster than nature can rebuild. An I'M
natural strain is thrown upon the vital
organs, and more especially upon the
kidneys. which have the work of filter
ing the blood free of waste and poison.
The heavy tax of overwork-the
strain upon the back that is so COM
mon to many trades and occupations,
is too great The kidneys begin to
fail in their work, and there is a
double danger to health. The poison
Gus matter collects in the system. and
the kidneys themselves begin to break
down.
Pain in the back is only a warning
of trouble in the kidneys. An inham-
nation has set in, and a discolored con-
dition Of the urine soon becomes appar-
ent.
Too much or too little urine with a
