ALL is VANITY

Oh. life. how very brief your span!
How small the part | play!
This wondrous thing they call man
Is but piece of clay.
How very soon I'll be forgot
When I. like all, must die.
My own great-great-grandchild may not
Fen know where shall lie.
And shall they thus in memory
My life so lightly keep?
Will not my own remember me
When in the grave l sleep?
The thought is sad. and yet, howe'er
| dare not criticize,
Since | don't really know just where
My great-great-grandpa lies:

the stand today in the investigation

second vice president and manager of
the sales department Of the company,
was the principal witness He went
into the question of contracts his com
pany has with different newspapers,
and said that the increase in the cost
of paper by his company was due in no
way To any combination or pool, but
was decided on by the board of direc-

many transactions of which they had
nothing TO do.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
committee had a session tonight, they
were unable TO conclude the taking of
testimony, but hope to do so by tomor-

our report will be. but we are anxious
