PAUL REVERE's RIDE.

Chicago, Dec. l. Revere Lincoln,
grandson Of Paul Revere, has come
to the defense of the hero of Long
fellows poem, the occasion being
the discovery of II manuscript letter,
written by John Hancock to FL
bridge Gerry, April Is, l775, at 81.
m, mt Lexington.
The letter informs the recipient
that "ofiiccrs are along the Concord
road The present holder of the
letter, Walter Benjamin, n New
York publisher, argues that if John
Hancock knew at Up. m, the night
of the midnight ride, that troops
were along the Concord road there
was no need for Paul Revere to
make the ride, and that accordingly,
he did not make it.
The great-grandsun Of Paul Revere
lives Mt Oak Park, Chicago
suburb. He said yesterday that his
mother had told him of hearing the
story of the ridef rom Paul Revere
himself. Also he cited documents
in the possession of his sisters
verifying the stories OF the ride.

HOW THE STANDARD
CRUSHED ITS RIVALS.

In his testimony in the Govern
ment's suit to dissolve the Standard
OH Company, John d. Rockefeller
said that in all its dealings with its
rivals the Standard OH trust had
treated them kindly but fairly"
From testimony given under oath
in various proceedings, the New
York World complies n statement
of the "kind" and "fair' way in
which the great oil trust has treated
its rivals. For instance: 1.-THE
South Improvement company got n
rebate from the railroads, not only
on its own oil, but also on the oil of
other shippers transported by the
roads. In one locality the railroads
charged all oil shippers 81 80 barrel
and turned $l.0G Of that sum over to
the South Improvement company.
Cuder this deal the Standard actual
~ paid A cents barrel freight and
it's rivals $50 "A barrel. Though
the Rockefeller group controlled at
that time but n small part of the
shipments, they collected as high as
5000, 900 year from their rivals,
through the railroads, In the shape
of freight rebates. As early rs 1879
nearly all the interior petroleum
retlnerics had been thus driven out
or forced to sell. According to the
late George Rice, of Marietta, o.,
the oil trust ruined him through
secret agreement with the railroads
by which the trust paid 10 cents
freight barrel while he was paying
81. The railroads paid % cents out
of the 80 to the trust. According to

TO GET RID OF RATS.

Rats are so destructive about
buildings that any method promis-
ing their determination Is worth
needing. One farmer tells us that
he put about half n teaspoonful of
molasses on each of number of old
shingles, and on that, with pocket
knife blade, he scraped a small
amount of concentrated lye. He then
placed the shingles about under the
stable doors and in the runways of
the rodents, and the next morning
he found many dead rats. He con-
tinued the treatment for few times,
and his farm was cleared of them.
He says he has never known it to
fail, 1t is an accepted claim that
rats VIII not eat anything that bears
the smell of the hand, and by this
method, their medicine" is clear of
the human odor.-EX.

STATE TREASURY BALANCE.

Jefferson City. Mo-, Nov. 30
There was a balance in the State
Treasury at the close of business
this evening of 81, 337 ,927.42. Ofthis
amount S3G3, 4lS.43 belongs to the
revenue fund from whence the cur
rent expenses Of the State govern
mcnt are drawn. There will be no
deficit at the close of business this
year. The probabilities are that
there will he half million dollars
in the revenue fund January |, 1909.
However, in order to make this re-
suit possible, appropriations for
state institutions and of the various
purposes, amounting to about ST.
600 900, will he held up. Arrange
mcnts to this end were made long
ago.
During the month just closed the
revenue fund was increased over
expenditures to the amount of S7l,-
OH OG. Meantime the criminal costs
iund mas been exhausted and no
more can be paid from 1t this year,
ar, in fact, until the Legislature
appropriatcs money. The deficit in
this item will probably reach SIS, 900
by the close of December.
This is nothing new, however, for
it has invariably been demonstrated
that no matter what amount the
Legislature set aside for criminal
costs, it was never quite enough to
anticipate all demands.
At the close of business last month
there was n balance in the Treasury
Of 81 ,2B,gl7. y. The receipts during
this month were 1907 1862 and the
disbursements for the same period
amounted to S22G, lS0.45.
