A Story Of Saint Gaudens.

The eminent and lamented sculptor
Saint Gaudens while living in Rome
had a fountain in his studio which he
declared TO be the source of his inspira-
ton, and when he returned to America
be missed the sound of the trickling
waters. II occurred to him that sub
stitute for the genii in the fountain
might be obtained by tying down the
faucet in the lavatory and thus having
a constant flow OF soul inspiring aqua,
delightful accompaniment TO hard
work. The arrangement worked very
well, and the delusion was perfect. so
far as sound, II not sight, was concern
ed Work progressed rapidly and well
with the inspiration Of the genii in the
faucet, and the day came when the
finished work must be removed to other
quarters, which removal required the
assistance Of the 5anitcr The sculptor
rang the bell for that dusky person,
and after repeated summons receiving
no reply Saint Gaudens descended 10

man of all work pumping away for
dear life.
On Saint Gaudens inquiring why he
had received no reply 10 his summons
the negro replied that he was sorry not

Scientific Fun With a spidsr.


1t occurred to a scientist in Washing
ton to try what effect the sound of a
tuning fork would have on a spider.
He had a strong suspicion that the
spider would take it for the buzzing of
a fly. Selecting a large, fat spider that
had long been feasting on flies, the
man Of science sounded the fork and
touched thread Of the spiders web.
The owner was at one edge Of its
web, and the thread selected was on
the other side. Over it's wonderful tel
ephone wires the buzzing sound was
conveyed TO the watchful spider, but
from its position it could not tell along
which particular line the sound was
travelling. 1t ran to the center of the
web in hot haste and felt all round till
it touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding
Then, taking another thread along as
a precautionary measure, it ran out 10
the fork and sprang upon it.
At this point it found out its mistake.
1t retreated for a short distance and
stopped to survey this new buzzing
creature that should have been a hy,
but was strangely unlike any insect it
had ever seen. At length, apparently
convinced that the object at the outer
edge of the web was more suitable for
amusement than for an article of diet,
il got on it and danced with pleasure.
II was evident that the sound of the
fork was music TO Washington

"Mr. Davis has never had any an oc-

any other kidney medicine since he
recommended them in the summer
of 1893. For years prior TO that
time he had been an almost constant

The relief he obtained from the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills, which he got

The antI-blllcy committee in the TO- cent campaign has now made public It's expenditures, and the amount is found 10 total up $l3,5l1, If this Is added to the $5G, poo expended by the two leading candidates lt is found that the total cost of the contest for governor as ad- mltted by those most interested, Is close 10 $70,0O0, But there Is reason to believe these figures do not Include the entire cost. All over the state men were known tO be at work for this or that candidate the larger number for Judge Robertson, but one will hunt in vain in the lists published for the names of these parties as receiving pay for services rendered Now, these mon could not afford tu work for nothing. Somebody else paid them Just whJ, does not now appear. Perhaps they were hired for other pUrpOses and just detailed to do political work Both sides had men of thlS character labor ing around ihe state, but there is noth. ing in the published reports tO show it. When this fact is taken into con sideratiou lt is evident that the cam paiEH for governor cost still more than the admitted S7O,000 It Is bad enough as it Is. but the hidden expenditure makes it stlll worse The most As- tonlshing feature of all fig that insplra- ton for this large expenditure came from those very persons who have been most vigorous in Genouncing machine methods and the use Of money at eleC- tionsl

Trust Restrained from Inter. fering With Independent Companies in
 Ohio,
ITS METHODS EXPOSED
Charged With Threatening Rivals With Financial Ruin and De. struCtiOn of Their
 Plants.

Cleveland O., Nov, 22,-united state Judge Tayler yesterday granted an injunction against the American Telephone and Telegraph company (Bell Long Distance systcm) and the Central Union Telephone company (Bell company operating in Ohio, 1n- diana and llinois), restraining them from interfering with the business of the independent companies operating in those and adjoining states.
 The injunction was granted upon the application of Clarence Brown, general counsel and James C. Bradley, president of the United states Tele- phone company which is the inde- pendent long distance telephone com pany operating in ohio and adjoining states, in suit brought by that com panN
 II Is charged the Bell organization is pursuing the policy of buying in- dependent exchanges, or selling Bell exchanges where there are competing companies, and in some instances of absorbing Independent companies, by merger and consolidation, or division or territory $o as to eliminate com petition and establish a complete Bell control This Is said to be in viO- lation not only of the sherman anti trust law, but also of the laws of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other states in which the companies operate. This policy Is said to be shown by the off cial reports of tho officers and direc- tors of the Bell company to ther stockholders.
 The bill also charges that instead of using their enormous profits to de- velop business, the Bell companies used them to pay exorbitant did- denas, and to acquire control of com- petttRo properties to suppress compe- tition. II is further alleged that they own control in many local telephone companies and in companies manu- faeturing telephone apparatus
 l. is also charged that when com petition began tho Bell companies adopted the policy of starting compet- neoNchlngos and operated them al ruinous rates. in many instances giy- ing free service bringing suits on patont claims and threatening inlc- pendent companies with financial ruin and with destruction of their plants. It is said that in some instances 'he independent companies we're driven out of business and their equipment was burned in public, wide publicity being given as warning to other in vestors WHO might dare to invade tho folds nf thn alleged Rell monnpoly

WHAT WE PAY FOR CAMPAIGNS.

During the last session of congress a representative from New York present. ed compilation showing that the two leading parties in twelve presidential campaigns had raised an aggregate of si5, 0OO GOO, or less than So00OOO on an average for each campaign Whatever part of that may have been obtained or employed corruptly justified the con tention of the representative that fed- eral law should compel publicity of all campaign funds Equally important is hte proposed legislation to determine to what uses campaign funds must he limited. It is unlikely that tlle amount raised will ever grow materially less.
 While si5,O0O,OO0 in 12 election years may seem large in itself 1t is really insignificant. In the 12 years closing In 1907 the government raised for it's running purposes more than S60O0,OO0,- : GOO All the gold in the world does not equal that. The amount raised by Un- cle Sam In 1907 from customs and in ternal revenue alone amounted to more than s665 5,000 GOO. That sum at the re- ported rate of the cost of campaigns would defray presidential contests dur> ing the next two centuries. And four years of our tariff plus the Internsr revenue raised in one administration would finance American presidential elections at S1o,O0O,O00 each for the next thousand years.
 In 1904 as well as in the last McKin- Icy campaign moro than 15,O0O0O0 votes were cast All money expended in po- lItical contests Is tax which the vot- CTS must indirectly but inevitably pay, If tl5.O0oo00 went Into each of these campaigns, if cost every voter on the average sl to send an American citizen to the White House.
 That is not dollar year for the privilege of voting for president in this country, but dollar once in four years. or a cents per annum, Thus, at the most liberal estimate of campaign expenditures today, the drain upon the American voter 10 make national elec- tlona possible and intelligent Is about cents a month Surely 1t should take theme more serious than that to stir a statesman or economist to oX- ccssive speech-Appleton' Magazine.
