Somebody has figured out that
the average boy who is dependent
upon his parents tor a Livelihood
until he reaches the age of twenty
one years costs them four thou
sand dollars. On this basis of cal
culation brood, for instance, OF
six boys would represent an out
lay of twenty-four thousand dol
lars by the time they get away
from the home roost. The ques-
ton arises does it pay to raise
boys and are there no other crops
that would prove more profitable
If a boy turns out to be cigaret-
te iend with a breath like a tur-
key buzzard and laugh that
would make the untutored donkey
feel perfectly at home in his socie
ty and with an untrammeled and
unconquerable desire to avoid
work, it is safe to say that his pa
rents might have invested their
tour thousand dollars at much
better advantage. But if the boy
grows up to manhood with the les
SON we'll learned that wealth and
success grow only on bushes water
ed by the sweat of ones brow, the
parents heed not begrudGe what
ever they have spent on him, for
he will be source OF increasing
pride and joy to their hearts, and
when they grow old and their
hands tremble and their legs wab-
bic and their step-is slow and fall
tering, they have tworstrong arms
to lean upon and help them over
all the rough places that lie in
their twilight path.

ing a Friday Hoodoo, Puts
of Triumphal March.

PORT AU PRINCE, Dec. 4-There
were no disorders OF any kind here to-
day and hopes are entertained that
normal conditions will be rapidly
restored.
Gen. Antoine Simon, the leader OF the
successful revolutionary movement
against Nord Alexis. has decided TO
postpone his entrance into Port au
Prince until tomorrow, because Friday
is regarded as a day Of III omen. Fur
thermore, II is his purpose to make 4
triumphal entry at the head OF all his
troops, some 5000 or 5000 men. and his
entire force has not yet been concen-
trated at his headquarters. The general
Is to-day about fifteen miles from Port
All Prince.
The committee Of public safety has
reorganized the municipal police force.
A rur,hcr OF new police stat!ons have
been established and there is good
reason TO believe that henceforth or
der will he maintained throughout the
entire city.
The various political parties that have
Presidents through revolutionary move
ments are to-day perfecting their or
Plantations, which have become more or
less imperative. Gen. Sam is here. and
the arrival of Gen. Firmin and Gen.
Fouchard lie expected any day.
The presence of these leaders in the
capital may bring about complications.
There are fears that the northern part
of the republic may be arrayed against
the southern section, should the ques-
ton OF who Is to be the next Pres-
dent come TO an open contest. There s
q strong element in favor of the candi-
dacy OF Cincinna tus, Leoente, who was
at one time Minister OF Foreign Affairs,
Gen. Simon. however, has the distinct
advantage OF being at the head of

re would seem to be master OF the sit

When Hearing Is Resumed
Archbold Defends Rebates.

There will be no hearing in the suit
of the Government against the stand
ard oil Company OF New Jersey until
Monday next. when II is probable that
William Rockefeller will be called to
the stand by Frank Il. Kellogg, the
prosecutor.
John d. Archbold. who has been on
the stand for the past week, went on
record yesterday afternoon as a bold
champion OF rebates.
Mr.. ArGhbold seemed Just a trife I'M
comfortable whsn Mr.. kellogg showed
that all the time the Standard was buy
ing up over half of the Lima fields pro-

could not be refined. 1t was construct
Ing the Whiting refinery in the field
and laying pipe lines. During the next
sixteen years the Whiting refinery used
this unavailable" oil and paid 1000 per
cent. annually on its capita! stock.
Concerning the fixing OF prices he
stuck to his guns, claiming that indie
pendents who did not care TO sell at
their figures could sell elsewhere or
store their oil until prices advanced.
This line of investigation brought up
pipe lines and Mr.. Archbcld's memory
became very bad indeed. The prose-
eutcr wanted to know IL II We're not
true that as soon as the Hepburn Law
went into force the Standard transferred
certain sections OF its trunk sesboard

forced to carry oil TO the coast re-
hneries unless it wished to. He sau red
