How to Paint Iron BEDS.

Do you want to paint iron beds dell.
cate colors3 To make delicate pink
get the smallest size box Of brilliant
red and same Of white Add little red
to the white until the color suits. Add
little yarnish to give 1t luster; also
little wood alcohol and turpentine to
make 1t dry quickly and hard. For del
icate blue get brilliant blue and put
with white, and for green get your
favorite green and shade down with
white. For all this work get an extra
good two inch wide brush. A poor
brush makes poor job. Clean it with
wood alcohol, turpentlne or hot water
and soap after each Job, and 1t will
last for years for your household work.
You can paint woodwork in the room
a little darker shade and have it quite

A safety pocket has been recently
designed and patented by a New Eng,
land inventor which seems to have the
virtue of simplicity. 1t is an auxiliary
pocket, with tap at The upper and
lower ends, by which 1t Is strongly Sc
cured in place in the vest pocket. The
mouth at the upper end of this Is large
enough to admit of the insertion OF the
timepiece with ease, and after this has
been done it is designed that the In
terror pocket should be given half
turn, by which operation the mouth Is,
closed by the twist of the tab, so that
it would be a difficult task to lift the
timepiece from the pocket, particularly
by one unacquainted with the combi-'
nation.

More than 10000 Entries for the
Exposition to Be Held in Chicago.
That there will be more than 10000
entries for the National Corn Exposition
which is to be held in the Coliseum at
Chicago, is the confident belief held by
the management, based on the hearty re-
Spouse that 1eet the first appeal to the
farmers in the corn belt. Within a few
days after sending out the list of the
classiiications for the entry of corn to
contest for the $4,000 cash prizes and
the $4,000 in special premiums offered,
application for 1900 entries were made.
Quite apart from the educational end of
the exposition, it will be especially strong
In attractive show features. While the
most striking of these doubtless will be

eio OIL TRUST PRoFIrs.
New York Hearing shows Proat -.
5,031 in Seven ye,r.

Po'"Ao,Oof IN seven Years
The hearing before Special Federal
Referee Ferriss of Missouri in the gov
eminent suit to dissolve the great oil com
bination was begun at New York. with
Attorney Frank b. Kellogg representing
the government and John G. Milburn and
others as counsel for the Standard OiI
Company. Mr.. Kellogg submitted in evil
dence statistics compiled by the Standard
Oil officials, showing that the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey had earned
profits in the last seven years -appreya,-
ing $49O,315,934, and that during the
same time dividends had been paid to the
amount OF S30S,359, 403. These profits
came from the plants owned by the parent
company, as well as from those of the
subsidiaries controlled by it. This was
the first time in the history of the oil
trust that record of it's earnings entire
had been made public. Acting Controller
Fay of the Standard said there were
nineteen subsidiary companies, and gave
their names. The evidence is being taken
for use in the Circuit Court at st. Louis,
where the dissolution suit, under the
antitrust law, is to be prosecuted. Mr..
kellogg, among other things, wanted the
company to produce the minutes of the
various meetings at which the absorption
of smaller companies was arranged, but
the counsel for the company was inclined
to resist.
The examination of Charles NJ Pratt,
secretary of the trust, brought out the
fact that the parent company had trans
ferred it's 100000 holdings in the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company of Texas to
a son-in-law of Vice President Archbold
from 1904 to 1907 during the custer pro-
ceedings brought against the subsidiary
by the State of Texas, and that only
$125,000 in cash was paid for the stocks,
the remainder being in the form of note
which was never fully taken up, the prof
its of the Waters Pierce company going
toward the payment of the note. Mr..
Pratt admitted that this transaction did
not appear on the books of the Standard,
the accounts being kept under the title,
&c. NJ. Pratt Investment" Mr.. Pratt
explained that by this arrangement he
held the stocks for the trust merely as a
convenience, and when asked If it was
not done to avoid the antitrust laws of
Texas he replied Not that | know Of"
Tabulations were also verified showing
enormous earnings of subsidiaries, among
which those of the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana appeared most remarkable.
This corporation on a capitalization of
$1,OOOOOO made profits in 1906 amount
Ing to $1O,516,0S2, and last year paid to
the parent company $4,495,5OO. This
amounted for at least one year to the re-
marK1hIn nrniE nf I ONO Nv
kellogg also brought out evidence show
ing how the New York branch had been
systematically drained by saddling upon
it enormous liabilities at the same time
that its assets were greatly increased.
Counsel Milburn disclosed one line of de-
tense by giving notice that the trust
would object to any testimony bearing
upon acts committed prior to July 2,
1880, when the Sherman law went into
effect.
