of making her happy with her ability to do the same
thing. Marriage is longer necessity and when she

does-of choosing the one she wants. If she does
not find what she likes she has the prerogatve as
the bachelor.

that everything in our corporation life

business generally is being conducted
on unlawful lines. 1 can state, and
defy contradiction, that the railroads

about which there is 50 much talk and
abuse, are being conducted to-day in
accordance with the letter and spirit

What instance Of this uncomfortable passion, Of greed
have been seen recently in the dabolical system of
bates by which great corporations have grown richer and
respectable smaller dealers have been crushed to the
wall and the hghhanded robberes and vulgar criminal

Somebody has been recently insisting that the very

great wealth brings unsettes mems minds 1t is true,
however, that seshness and arrogance and vulgar
travagance and foolhardiness and utter defiance Of all

THE PALACE WAITED.
A Suggestion That Changed the Plans
of Pope.

At time when there was great sui
fering among the people from lack of
food and when famine in its worst
form was threatened Pope Alexander
VI. had made arrangements for the
erection of magnificent palace. The
best architects had been employed, and
the plans had been submitted and ac-
cepted. and an accomplished builder
had been sent for to come from Venice,
a man whose work had won for him
renown and who was known to be a
just and upright man.
The builder had arrived, and at an
appointed time he waited upon his
holiness to receive the plans and make
his estimates. There is one thing vet
to be DONE" said the pope, There
