full it will pass it and be a church

Why Is not the Illinois Antitrust
law strictly enforced against the real

The law Is upon the statute books
and Is rigldly lived up to as against
small ana honest corporations which
are obliged to make affidavit once a

are not In trust.
A Trust has no more standing In

was talking with Lord Cadogan in the
luncheon room Of the Jockey Club stand
at Newmarket. when he suddenly reeled
and fell He was carried 10 Weatherbys

the prince was beyond all human aid. and
just before the bell rang FOR the race for
which HIS colt Gaillard. brother of St
Simon. was hrst favorlte he breathed his
last few minutes later the clear sky
rank with cheers and shouts as the horses
came laundering along which rose into
a roar as Gaillard won by a head. while
behind the drawn blinds OF Weatherby's
Office Gaillard's owner, who had been
looking forward so eagerly 20 this mo-
ment. was lying dead 1t was owing TO
the death OF his owner that Galopin's
great son could not run in the Derby Of
