parliament and head of the Domin-

says in an interview that Gompers
and his associates could not have
been convicted in Canada for
carrying on boycott by publica-
ton. 1t could not have been done
in any other country in the world
where English is the language OF
the courts.
And yet, Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison seem to have no chance
of escape from serving time and
being stigmatized as jailbirds and
Ieonvicts because they published
the fact that certain enemy OF

1t is now some two or three
years since the Northern Securities
company was dissolved by the
United States courts. 1t owned
the Great Northern, the Northern
Pacific and the Burlington rail-
way systems and was wound up as
'sin restraint of trade" and other
wise Illegal.
1t was dissolved. But James
]. Hill owned the three systems
and save in the mere matter of the
reading of the charters, every
thing was as before. No shipper
or passenger got any better or any
different rates than he would have
got If the combine had not beer
dissolved. Mr.. Hill put the swae
in three pockets instead of one
as he preferred, but the game went
on.

them were expelled forever from
Missouri. 1t is heralded, as was
the Northern Securities case, as a
great victory over the octopus.
Well, maybe 1t was, but 1t is well
to remember that the Standard OH

constituent corporations and can

and, ignorant of his demise, they
were conveying the corpse to Of
fer the weekly prayers. He stood
up on his feet and tapped the
vizer upon the breast, calling to
him. But the vizer, unconscious
of his master, sat in calm silence,
occasionally casting frightened
glances toward the corpse, which
still maintained it's upright posi-

no shriller than the clamoring

came to the razor bridge which he
must cross to win to paradise. He
took two steps and felt himself
falling.

BY Harold Carter.

The little old sultan drove to
the mosque every Friday in his
open carriage in. order to Offer
prayers.
Covering under his rugs hud.
died into his robes of state, how
he dreaded those weekly Journeys
through the streets of his capital
through rows of impassive, silent
soldiers, past windows lined with
|sternly impassive citizens. How
|nervously he glanced to right, tC
left! At this corner the line was
partly broken; suppose that some
desperate man whom he had
wronged should rush in on hin
with a revolver! Suppose a bomt
were flung from that group upor
the balcony upon his soldiers
heads!
AS he drove, his eyes heavy with
the opiates which he took tc
bring sleep to him, the carriage
halted abruptly and he sat uI
with a scowl. His vizer, seated
opposite him, sprang to his feet
nervously. A wagon had been
overturned in the street and the
procession must be diverted.
At the same instant man
tattered and wild, burst through
the Gordon of soldiers and knelt
at the carriage side.
Mercy, SIRE" he cried, his
hands appraised.
The troops, seeing that he had
already gained his sovereign's ear,
hesitated in doubt.
my name is Mahomet bin Ach-
met. spare my father, SIRE" the
man pleaded, kissing the sultan
hand.
The sultan wrinkled his brows
in thought. Then he remember
ed. That morning, among the
countless death warrants which
he had signed, was one for the ex-
ecution of a certain Achmet, a
veteran sergeant of many years
service, who had been found guilty
of the crime of desertion. He had
been kept on service several
months after the expiration of his
time and had gone home to his
family.
ARREST this man." he cried to
his soldiers. LET him share his
fathers fate"
Instantly the man sprang for
ward and plunged a long, thin
knife into the sultan's breast
The act was done so expediously
that only the blow was seen. When
the assassin was pulled away the
sultan still sat in his carriage,
erect and apparently unframed.
Drive on" shouted the vizer
and the carriage proceeded.
The dying sultan fixed his dark
eyes gloomily upon his minister,
who, not daring to speak, covered
into his corner. He felt his life
ebbing from him; he bowed his
head with a groan and seemed to
pass through all the ultimate
moments OF dissolution.
When he became conscious
again the carriage was already
speeding through the Dolma-st,
and in the distance the great
mosque appeared. For a mo-
ment he could not understand this
curious sensation OF lightness and
well being. Then he realized.
He was dead. then, dead at last;
