said Mr.. Homes. THE eyelashes OF

over that eye when he is at work
presses them over in that direction.
The reason why the lens presses
them over is that his right ear stands
out further from his head than his left
ear, making the spectacle bow on that
side q loose fit and making his specta-
cles sit slantwise. The reason why his
right ear wings out further than his

AFTER PAPER TRUST
PRESIDENT OF publishers
ASSOCIATION SPEAKS.
Sends Letter to Attorney General
6onaparte, Telling of Rank lnjus-
tice Heaped Upon Them by the
Monopoly-He Asks Aid of Gov
eminent to Dissolve the Trust.

New York, March 10.-Herman Rid
paper Publishers association, has sent
letter to Attorney General Bona
parte in which he summarizes the pub
fishers statement of the alleged eff
forts of the American Paper and Pulp
association to stifle competition and
Ridder declared, has been to put an
additional burden of 100000 per an
mum upon the printing and publishing
interests of the country without any
other justification than the power of
combination.
Mr.. Riders letter gives in detail
charges that certain paper manufac-
turers formed a pool, agreed on a
schedule of prices and discounts; the
filing with the originator of the pool
of all orders and names of customers
and quotations of invoices and sam
pies of paper and date of shipment;
allotments of output by each of the
"a mills in the combination restric-
ton of production; regulation of the
basis of weights of paper; agreement
to fix prices; agreement to advance
prices; payments into a pool of the
proceeds of all sales; discrimination
in prices on shipments west of Mime
apolis and north of Omaha; allow
ances to mills that shut down; imposi-
ton of a penalty for shipments in ex-
cess of allotments; restriction of job
bling to certain class, and fixing COM
missions and curtailment of profits of
one company to so per cent.
The letter sets forth also that the
association voted upon the question of
granting permission to members to bid
upon large prospective contract in
competition with a mill outside the as.
ISOLATION. 1t tells of meetings held in
New York city in February, May and
August of last year at which the price
of paper was advanced an aggregate
of $40 per ton and of a meeting in
November when a shutdown of one
week was ordered to restrict produc.
ton.
Various mills have been shut down
for various periods upon various pre-
texts. We allege and expect to be able
to- prove that some of these mills were
shut down to starve the paper market
and cause crop failure"

TEE M1DD1E-AenD MAN.

Once He Wanted Time to Go Eastern
Now He'd Like to Put ON a Brake.
II don't know" said the middle-aged
man, "but what I'll have to give up
the use of calendars, or, at least, of
that kind of calendar that consists Of
leaves bound together. leaf for each
month, which you tear Off as the
months go by, for this sort SO reminds
you of the lapse Of time.
when l was a youngster 1t seemed
as II it took years for Fourth Of July
to come around, and as If 1t were years
more to Christmas, and the seasons
seemed to keep ON interminably; time
seemed to have no end.
but as grew older time seemed TO
go faster and faster, until now at my
age find 1t fairly galloping, the
months and the years chase one an
other SO fast.
II hang up one Of those leaf calen-
dars at the beginning of year, and
then, with Its full complement OF
leaves, 1t seems thick, and l say to
myself: Good I've got a whole year
ahead of me! And though l soon be-
gan to tear or the leaves. yet VI felt
that as long as / stayed on the other
side of July l had generous part OF
the year left still, even IL it was going
fast.
but from that on 1t seemed to go
faster and faster and the pad of leaves
grew rapidly thinner and thinner, until
the first thing you knew it had come
down, as now, TO December, and the
year had gone!
II don't know what I'll do about
the calendars, but suppose I'll con-
tinue to use the old sort, with leaves
that You tear off month by month, they
are SO convenient. But how time flies
There was time when wanted time
to go faster, but what I'd like most of
all to discover now would be some sort
Of brake that would make time slow

How to Get Poor Quick.

Do not try to save your loose change.
1t is too small an amount to put In
the savings bank. 1t would not amount
to much, anyway, and there Is great
comfort in spending 1t. Just wait until
you get sufficient worth while before
you deposit It
Do not try to economlze 1t is an
internal nuisance to always try to save
a few cents here and there. Besides,
you will get the reputation Of being
mean and stingy. You want everybody
to think you are generous.
Just look out for to-day. Have a
good time as you go along. Just use
your money yourself Don't deprive
yourself for the sake of laying up
something for other people to fight
over. Besides, you are sure of to-day.
You might not be alive tomorrow

PEkINe SHOWS SOME ALARM
Because Japan Is So Insistent Upon
an Apology.

Picking, March 10.-With the posi-
bility of seeing their nation plunged
into war with the mikado's subjects
over the Tatsu incident, great, though
subdued, interest prevails among the
residents of this city. If the Chinese
authorities have determined upon their
reply to Japan's ultimatum that an
apology must be forthcoming for the
tearing down of the Japanese flag
over confiscated property, as we'll as
the surrender of the craft, the en-
peror's subjects nave not been taken
in on the secret. The greatest alarm
still prevails.
The sending of the ultimatum has
.lessened the chances for war. Among
the more conservative, however, alarm
lemma may be reached. Japan's ex-
pressed desire to avoid complications
if possible has given encouragement to
those who hold to the peace view.
Japan announces her willingness to
wait a reasonable time" for an an
swer Just what this means no one
knows, but it is argued that no objec-
ton can be raised by the Japanese if at
least one more day is taken to con-
slider.
China's honor, the firebrands de-
clare, is at stake as mucn as Japan's.
Resistance to Japan's demands is
urged by them.

Surgeon. Knife Cure. Headache.

After suffering excruciating pains in his
head for twenty-five years, Louis Wolf
son of Cincinnati has secured relief by
having the surgeons cut out two nerves.
The pain was above the eyes and at the
temples and REQUIRED four or Eve times
week. He had consulted the leading
specialists, tried medicines, various forms
of massage and electrical treatment In
vain. The two offending nerves, one on
each side, were between one and two
inches long and about as thick as a pin.
They are termed sensory nerves--that is,
nerves which give the sense of feeling and
not control of the movements of mus
clcs. The headaches have not returned
since the operation. Local surgeons say
this is the first case of the kind on record

MISPLACED MONUMENTS.

Helpless Figures, SOiled and Grimy,
in Stone and BrOnze.
The ordinary run of statues, unless
they are royal, have only one real pleas
ant and satisfactory day in their ex-
istence, and that is the day they are
unveiled. If stone, on that day they
are spotlessly clean. If bronze, they
are nice and shiny. After that they
are never clean or shiny again. 1t has
to be the statue of very exalted per-
sonage for the SCOT to be scraped off
and to have its face washed once a
year. The average hero has to be sat
istied with being unveiled. After that
no one takes any further interest in
him. But it is most instructive to OBJ
serve the unholy skill with which the
SCOT and other accidents of the air Will
lodge on the top of a venerable bald
head and on the surface of what should
be an immaculate frock coat or a well
fitting unifirm. A Roman toga that
has met with accidents is not half so
ridiculous as a bronze frock coat and

The fact that the boys made the

of the road. There were times on
the heavy grades when all hands but
the driver got out and walked, but
that was part of the game and as
