Kings Frugal Luncheon.

The King of Italy has very frugal
habits, and on one occasion when out
hunting his love of simplicity led to
an amusing incident. The King was
quite alone, and after walking about
for some time without obtaining any
sport, he was at last lucky enough
to shoot a fine channels.
A peasant boy who had seen the
animal fall into a chasm offered to
fetch it's carcass for King Victor, al
though he had no idea of the identity
of the sportsman. Every WELL" said
his Majesty, 81 will wait here"
But what will you give me, signor?"
asked the lad. What do you want?"
said the King, smiling. ooh, a franc
n half your luncheon" replied the
lad. The bargain was struck and the
boy went off down the mountain
and soon returned with the body
of the channels.
The King gave him a franc, and
then proceeded to divide his lunch
into two equal portions; but the
peasant, when he saw what King
Victor had to eat, turned away con-
temptuously, for the lunch consisted
OF a small loaf of black bread and a
large raw onion. mo, thanks. none

U. 8. Circuit Court of Appeals Denies
Government a Rehearing in
Famous Rebate Case.

Chicago.-The Standard Oil Com
pany will not have to pay the famous
$29,240,000 fine. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, with Judges
Grosscup, Baker and Seaman sitting,
denied the petition of the Attorney
General for a rehearing of the de-
cision handed down by Judge Gross
cup, reversing the decision of United
States District Judge Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands and demanding the case
to his court for retrlal.
Acknowledgement Bonaparte in
tends to take the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States on a writ
of c~ertiorarf. This is the last hope of
the Government to force the Oil Trust
to pay the record rebating fine i'm
posed by Judge Lands.
In the opinion the Court took oc-
casion to criticise sharply the Gov
ernment's counsel for alleged miscon-
struction of the Courts previous
ruling.
The great fine was imposed by
Judge Lands on the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, the parent
company of the Trust, after a jury in
the court had found the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, a branch of the
Trust, guilty of rebating on 1852
counts. The minimum fine in each
count was $1,000 and the maximum
$4,000. Judge Lands gave the Oil
Trust the full limit, saying that "the
men who thus deliberately violate
this law wound society more deeply
than do they who counterfeit the
:noin or steal letters from the mail"
The denial of the Government pc
tition as announced was based on the
grounds outlined by Judge Grosscup
Wien he reversed Judge Lands and
In the opinion of corporation law
yers the ground of error taken by
Judge Grosscup is the worst blow to
the u of the Government. 1t was
the evident plan of the Attorney-Gen-
eral to force by constant heavy fines
the subsidiary concerns of the Stand
ard Oil to break entirely from the
parent company or come out into the
open as mere agents and thus place
themselves squarely under the Sher-
man Antitrust law.

Trade Revival in New England.

Boston.-The business inactivity
which marked the prediction period
has given way with a rush in New
England, announcements of a resump-
ton of operations having been made
in all directions within the last few
days. Many industrial interests are
affected, although the reports indi-
cate that the textile concerns have
acted more promptly and in greater
numbers in ordering longer hours
and more operatives.
Other lines which already have ar
ranged for increased operations are
jewelry and rubber factories, thread,
yarn and knitting mills, machine and
tool making plants and railroad re-
pair shops.
Wooden jobbers report an unpre-
cedented rush of business since elecC
