Joke on Town..

The days when Sam" Clemens

are recalled. by this anecdote: One
morning Sam" came into the office
very thoughtful, hung up his
coat and went to the frame. He
worked diligently for several hours
without any copy on his small-cap case
in front of him. He was setting up
the story of wonderful find he and
some of his comrades found in Nc
Douglas cave the Sunday before. The
narration was to the effect that a crowd
of boys, while exploring the great cave
on Sunday afternoon, ran across a pet
rif1ed Indian. The citizens were great
ly worked up over the story, and they
hired a scientist from Quincy to look
the dead Indian in the face and report.
The man who came to perform this
task wore gray mutton-chop whiskers,
a thoughtful brow, and spectacles, of
course. He was an Unconditional chap,
and he looked learned and the commit
tee was satisfied OF his ability. BY
the terms of his contract he was to

JOY WORK
And the Other Kind.

Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along be-
cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because OF love OF
their work
It is a fact that ones food has mucn
to do with it. AS an example:
If an engine has poor oil, or boiler
is fired with poor coal, bad result IS
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch OF
health's temple and you Will find
"Grape-Nuts" as a daily food is the
most nourishing and beneficial you can
use.
We have thousands of testimonials,
real genuine little heart throbs, from
people who simply tried Grape-Nuts
out ofDcuriosity-as a last resort-with
the result that prompted the testimo-
NAL.
If you have never tried Grape-Nuts
it's worth while to give it fair impair
tial trial. Remember there are mill
lions eating Grape-Nuts every day
they know, and we know if you will
use Grape-Nuts every morning your
work is more likely to be joy-work, be-
cause you can keep well, and with the
brain well nourished work is a joy.

Deadly Explosion in Coal Mine Near

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2.-Sev-
enteen men are dead as the result
Of an explosion in the No. 2 Short
Creek Mines of the Birmingham Coal

the scene to render what aid they
could and to make an inspection.
Officials of the company did not
know the exact number of men in
the mine at the time of the accident,
but they state tonight that II ia
talitieS will be the total.

HITS THEM HARD
TRUSTS CANNOT COLLECT DEBTS
THROUGH COURTS.

United States Supreme Court Up
holds Jobber's Contention Against
Continental Wall Paper Company.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The case OF
the Continental Wall Paper Com
pany VS.. Lewis Weight & Sons of
Cincinnati was today decided by the
supreme court of the United States
in Voight's favor. The suit was
brought by the company on a debt
of $4,000, the payment of which
was resisted on the ground that the
paper company is a trust. In effect
the decision holds that an admitted
trust, organized contrary to the
Sherman antitrust law, can not use
the court to collect debts.
1t was represented that Weight
had bought over 100000 worth
of paper, on which he had paid so
per cen more than he would have
had to pay if there had been COM
petition. 1t was also set out that
the Continental Company had been
| organized to conduct the business of
the various wall paper factories of
the United States and that Weight as
a jobber in it's products, had been
compelled to sign a strict agreement
on the threat that if he did not do
so no paper would be sold to him
and that it would be made impos-
sible for him to continue in bust
ness.
In a demurrer the company admit
ted that it was a trust and still con-
tended that it could properly collect
debts due it. On this showing the
company's petition was dismissed by
the trial court and it's decision was
affirmed by the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Sixth circuit.
Today's opinion was by Justice Har,
Ian, and sustained the decision OF
of the lower courts. Justice Brewer,
White, Peckham and Holmes dis
sented.
Justice Harlan's opinion was Of
considerable length and dealt in de-
tail with the various phases Of the
case. 1t was based on the third
defense Of Voight, that the company
is part of a trust. He started out
with the proposition that the Con
~tinental Company is within the pro
hibition of the Sherman act, which
he said, is clear from the facts SCI
forth in it's defense. He then wen1
on to show that this corporation
is the representative Of combination
which would have the effect not on
ly of restraining, but of monopo'
lizing the sale and manufacture oil
paper.
