Too Slow TO Be 2 SoId;er

3. In a room on the top floor Of large
factory a boy Yas amusing himself by
going through the bayonet exercise
with long handled brush in lieu of "a
rife. His boss, coming quickly upon
him, gave him a box on the ear for
wasting his time. The sudden blow
caused the lad to lose his balance and
fall down the hoist shaft, but fortu-
nately he kept his hold on the brush,
the handle of which, getting across the
shaft, broke his fall and enabled him
to grasp the chain, down which he slid
in safety. The boss was Mortified at
the effect Of his action and rushed
breathless and gasping with fear down
the eight fights of stairs to the base
ment, expecting to find a mangled
body for which he would have to ac-
count. He was, however, just in time
to see the lad drop on his feet un-
harmed, so, recovering his self pos
session and his breath, he exclaimed:
"Want to be a soldier, eh? Well,
you're too slow for that. Why, man,
can walk down all those stairs quick:
er than you can fall down the hoist
shaft."-London Answers.

Square Bullets.

In 171S an -Englishman, James PUG
kle, secured q British patent for what
seems to have been an attempt at a
breechloading rapid firing gun. An
original feature of the invention was
the use of two different breech plates,
one for square bullets, to be used
against the Turks, and the other for
round bullets, to be used against Chris
tians. 1t is curious to find two oppos-
ing tendencies in the same invention
first, the desire to construct a gun that
should be more effective because more
destructive, and, second, a desire to
recognize certain ethical distinctions
in it's use. If round bullet was too
good for Turk, square one was too
bad for a Christian.-London Chroni-

Toward the Pole.

Ice eight feet thick on the ocean and
snow falling even in summer-such is
the weather experienced in the polar
regions. When the air is dry and still
it is remarkable how low tempera-
ture can be borne with ease. One ex-
plOrer tells us that with the thermome-
ter at 8 degrees it was too warm for
skating. The summer weather in this
region is, moreover, in some respects
pleasant and healthful. Within the
arctic zone there are wonderfully col
Ored sunrises and sunsets to be seen.
They are both brilliant and impressive.
But the nights-the nights are monot-
onous and repelling. A rigid world
buried in everlasting snow, silent save
for the cracking Of the ice or the wall
Of the wind. Travellers in these re-
gions experience many discomforts.
The keen air causes their skin to burn
and blister, while their lips swell and
crack. Thirst, again, has been much
complained of, arising from the action
Of the low temperature on the warm
body. I'll

BLAMES ADMINISTRATION,
Howard Elliott Says Railroad Building
Has Ceased.

Lewiston, Ida., Feb. Attaining
antitrust legislation for the cessation
in railroad building, except on pro-
jects we'll under way, President How
ard Elliott of the Northern Pacific
railroad said:
mot satisfied with the havoc al
ready wrought by extreme and un-
wise statements President Roosevelt
made another attack on corporations.
His recommendation for federal con-
troll of the stock issue of corporations
is so rabid as to be alarming. The
encrOaching power given commissions
over railroads has checked building
for years to come and the West must
suffer for this ltnwise legislation. This
talk about watered stock is untrue.
There is not single drop of water in
any of the railroad stocks of the coun-
try. It. would be impossible to re-
place the railroads for the par value of
the railroad stocks of the country to-
day.
1T is time the people called a halt
to this vicious legislation, for it must
be checked if future development is
to be expected"

DEMURRER is OVERRULED
Santa Fe Road Must Answer Charge
Of Rebatinq.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Judge Lands, in
the United States district court, has
overruled the demurrer Of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
company to the federal Indictment
charging the company with granting
rebates to the United States Sugar
and Land company.
Counsel for the railroad asked the
court to pass the matter until a ruling
could be had in the case against the
Great Northern railroad now pending
before the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. In that case, they said, it
was contended that the passage of the
Hepburn act repealed the Elkins law
under which the indictment had been
found and therefore granted immunity
to the defendants.
Judge Lands, however, declared
that he could not wait for the action
of the higher court and overruled the
demurrer. The railroad company was
given two weeks in which to plead to
be indictment.

Stereotypinu.

1t is claimed that stereotyping was
known in I'LL. It was practiced by
William Ged of Edinburgh about 1870.
Some Of Ged's> plates are to be seen at
the Royal institution, London. A Mr..
James attempted to introduce Ged's
process in London in 1876, but failed.
Stereotype printing was used in Hol-
land during the last century, and a
quarto Bible and Dutch folio Bible
were printed there. 1t was revived in
London by Wilson in 1904. Since 1850
the durability of stereotypes has been
greatly increased by electrotyping them
with copper or silver >~l

IN INTEREST OF PEACE
Premier Franco Resigns the Die
tatorship Of Portugal.
NEW REGIME IN CONTROL

Entire Change of Government Follows
the Assassination of King Carlos
and the Grown Prnce-Second Son
OF Dead Ruler Ascends tho Throne.
Lisbon, Feb. 4.-Premier Franco
has relinquished power and a new
cabinet has been formed with Admiral
Ferreira do Amaral as the president
Franco.
This step signalized the practical
withdrawal of Franco from power. He
agreed to this measure as one calcu-
lated to pacify hostile public opinion
at time when only a spark was
needed to inflame the whole country
and hurl 1t headlong to revolution. 1t
Is nevertheless believed that Franco
will still be the man Of power" but
his official prerogativeS are at least
shorn of real authority.
The opening session of the new
council has been held. King Manuel
II. appeared before his ministers and
with voice vibrant with emotion
said:
II am vet without experience either
in science or in politics. l place N.Y.
self entirely in your hands, needing
and believing in your patriotism and
wisdom"
The new cabinet is made up of
coalition elements in the hope of rec
onciling the many disturbing elements.
Some Of the new ministers have been
notably opposed to Frances iron rule.
Not one of the Franco ministers re-
mains, so that his regime disappears
with him.
The city is still in the throos of
intense excitement and the authorities
continue to follow INCREASINGLY the de-
tails of the plot which eliminated in
the assassination of the king and his
heir.
Arrests are being made by the
wholesale in Lisbon and all suspicious
lice surveillance.
The authorities are maintaining a
strict censorship on all outgoing tele-
graphic messages.
King Manuel has announced his in
tention of summoning parliament and
of taking the oath to preserve the in
tegrity Of the kingdom before that
body.
The chamber, which was dissolved
by Premier Franco, will reassemble
before the holding Of the regular elec-
tons.

BLOW AT BOYCOTT IS
Supreme Court Holds Them in VIC
latiOn Of Antitrust Law.
LOWER TRIBUNAL REVERSED
Decision Is Against Hatters' Union of
North America and Federation of
ordinate Organization.

Washington, Feb. 4.-That section
Z of the antitrust act awarding to the
complainant three times the amount of
damage sustained by combination in
restraint of Interstate trade can be in
voked to prevent a boycott by organ
lied labor was held in a decision by
the supreme court of the United
States in the case of A>ewe & Co., hat
manufacturers of Dahuury, Conn.,, VS..
Martin Lawlor and 200 other members
of the United Hatters' union of that
city. The decision of the court was
announced by Chief Justice Fuller and
reversed the holding of the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
Second circuit. The opinion of the
court was unanimous and no dissent
ing view was presented. 1--WE think, ="
said Chief Justice Fuller in conclusion,
that a Case within the statute was
set up and that the demurrer should
have been overruled."
The decision, therefore, reversed
the ruling of the lower court and the
case was remanded with direction to
proceed accordingly. Chief Justice
Fuller said:
I'm our opinion the combination de-
scribed in the declaration is a COM
bination in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several states in the
sense in which these words are used
in the act and the action can be main
tanned accordingly and that conclusion
Rests on judgments of This Court
to the effect that the act prohibits
any combination whatever to secure
action which essentially obstructs the
free flow of commerce between the
states o. restricts, in that regard, the
liberty of trade to engage in bust
ness"
The suit was instituted by Loewe &
Co. in the United States circuit court
for the district of Connecticut. The
company, alleging damages by boy
colt against their factory to the ex-
tent of $4,000, asked for a judgment
for $4,000 in accordance with the
terms of the Sherman act. Not only
the members of the Hatters' union but
the American Federation of Labor, Of
which the union is subordinate or
ganization, was included in the bill.
In the complaint it was alleged that
the labor organizations had under
taken to compel the manufacturers to
unionize their factory, as a large ma
jority of other hat factories in the
United States had been forced to do,
and it was asserted that when they
failed in this effort the union hatters
withdrew and induced other employees
to do SO. This act was followed by
the declaration of boycott against
Ioewe's hats wherever they were
found and as the firm controlled an
extensive trade throughout the coun-
try the boycott extended to many
states, which, in the language of the
bill, constituted combination to
limit and restrain interstate COM
