Look here, Dallison; l know nothing
about the turf, and have come to you to
manage a great game between young Pear
man and myself. Will o do SO? OF
course YOU can take care of yourself in
the transaction. l can tell you nothing
for certain as yet. Will you manage the
turf part of the business while l work
the legal machinery? As my idea of the
case stands at present, l tell you fairly,

Certainly not. l know nothing about

market will be. for the benefit of my eli

"Ah." returned Dallison, II like that

XIV.

Grenville Rose, to speak m~etaphorical-
~, has been padding his skif through
troubled waters of late. Maude's short
wobegone little note of dismissal, and his
aunt's indignant letter, were far from
pleasant reading to a man as much en-
tangled as he was in the l~ove-god's ,meshes.
He sat and sulked-he sat and thought.
They all ended in the same conclusion,
that Pearman would marry his darling
Maude, and that he was. and ever should
be, utterly miserable.
Anathematizing, with an impartiality
quite beautiful to witness, everything and
everybody, Mr.. Rose once more enters his
sitting room in pursuit of breakfast. He
unfolds the Times. Again, as a prelimi-
nary, does he ascertain the extreme firm
ness OF Coriander in the betting quotations
for the Two Thousand. Not that Silky
Dallison's feed at Greenwich is any OBJ

such thing as destinq. 1t is Utmost ludic-
rous at times to think what q trivial in
cident has turned the whole current OF
our lives. There is a large and we'll
known speculator on the turf at this time
"a man. doubtless, worth many ingots
and much stock and security-whose
money-making career dates from the pre-
sentation of a case of razors, according to
popular report. Who can say? Many
such an instance might be quoted. Gren-
vile Roses life turned on reading the
supplement Of the Times. it may be said
by accident, that particular morning.
l fancy no human being ever saw that
generally light-hearted barrister thinking
so hard as he was upon this occasion. lie
has won many a good cause since, but
often laughs and says, that was the big
gest he was ever engaged in; and no So
licitor to draw up the brief, mind"
"Ah !" he said at last, Il can most
swear l saw it. 1 recollect laughing over
it at the time, and thinking what a quaint,
queer old deed it was. Suppose I'm
right wonder how it would affect
things? l must go over and talk to DALI
son a bit"
And while Grenville Rose crosses the
Temple Gardens, let me say a few words
about George Dallison. He comes athwart
the loves of Granville and Maude but for
a few days. Yet he is destined to be the
master of the situation of that eventful
period. George Dallison is a barrister
some two or three years senior to Rose.
He has a fair income of his own, and has
betaken himself to the calculation OF the
mysteries of the turf. Rather below the
middle height, with large liquid hazel
eyes, a slight almost effeminate figure,
feet and hands that would be no disgrace
to a woman. and a soft voice, nothing
could be more deceptive in appearance
than Silky Dallison. His low, languid
tones and caressing manner had earned
him that sobriquet at college. 1t had
stuck to him ever since. Destitute
of whisker, a slight soft brown
moustache just shading his ppe lip;
1.-THE, supple, almost girlish in APP
pearance-such was George Dallisoh.

KIDNAPER TRIES SUICIDE.

Mercer, Pa.-The Mercer county au-

alleged attempt of James II. Boyle,
the Whitla kidnaper, to commit sui
eide and later well-planned attempt
on the part OF supposed friends on

from the jail here.
While both affairs were frustrated,
their successful conclusion seems to
have been averted by the narrowest
margin. Late Thursday afternoon II

STARTS FIGHT ON HARTMAN
TAFT FOLLOWS NEW POLICY IN
ANTITRUST WAR.
Sends Complaint to Attorney General
Instead Of Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Washington. - In directing that
Attorney General Wickersham in
stead OF the interstate commerce com
mission investigate the charges made
by Senators Smoot and Sutherland
and Mr.. Howell OF Utah against the
Hartman railroads, President Taft
Wednesday put his own antitrust pol
icy into action.
The roads named in the complaint
filed with Mr.. Taft are the Southern
Pacific. Union Pacific. oregon Short
Line. oregon Railroad 6 Navigation,
San Pedro. Los Angles & Salt Lake.
Denver & Rio Grande. Missouri Pa
cific, Colorado Midland. Colorado &
Southern, Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy, Rock Island, and Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe.
The charge is made that these roads
discriminate in rates against Salt
Like and other intermountain cities
on shipments from the east. The COM
plant cites numerous instances. AS
examples. they say that a car of Co
Goa beans shipped from Chicago to
Utah cities costs 1894 in freight tariff,
while the same shipment to San Fran
cisco costs but 1925. A car of nails.
10000 pounds, costs $40 to Utah
points, while the same car. II carried
1000 miles further west. to the coast.
costs but $160.
In letters to the president accom-
panying the complaint IL is pointed
out that the enormous earnings OF the
Hartman lines from which big divi-
dends are paid on stocks indicate that
the railroad rates complained of are
enormously profitable. and that Har-
riman derides power Of any less i'm
portance than the federal government.
and apparently cares little for that.

PRAISE FOR THE HUMBLE HOG.
Just a Brief Summary Of the Many
Virtues Of Which the Porker
Has Monopoly.

The news of the discovery Of an
chemist at the State University OF
Missouri, is tremendously important,
and 1t is said to be true. The hog
may not figure. In the popular mind,
as an inviting subject for a rhapsody,
but when you come to consider his
economic relations to the concerns OF
humanity where will you find another
animal with more points in his favor
than just the hog, with all of his
bristles and his untidy habits?
The hog comes into this world, al
most without exception In gre
garious" form. One never hears of a
little pig or a mature hog being
spoiled" because he is the only
member of the family. There are
always others-and plenty OF them
to share the favors that come TO
the hog household. 1t is quite usual
for the family" to number eight or
ten, and litter Of ~ is not phe-
nomenal.
Well. within less than a year of
the birth OF a litter of pigs they are
full-grown hogs, carrying several hun
dred pounds of the best meat that
ever came from the hand of nature.
Again, each several hog when he
goes TO market carries In his corpalent
carcass about ten bushels Of corn.
II you have given the subject the at
tention 1t calls for, you can see how
much this saves the honest farmer in
the way of freight charges In the
transportation OF corn.
But the hogs usefulness is by no
means limited TO his life. His real
virtues begin to shine forth after he
is dead.
To the hog belongs the high priv
ilege and the honor Of furnishing the
poor man food. Not that the food Is
always cheap; but II is more readily
produced and more plentiful than any
other sort of animal nourishment, and
for quality Il challenges competition
and is without a rival.
But IL is when II comes to Infinite
variety" that the hog shines as food
producer. He is good TO eat ''in any
spot or place" From his head to his
tail he is a compendium of delicious
parts.-Kansas City Star.

Camp.

Kapiti Plains, British East Africa.
Theodore Roosevelt has reached the
hunting grounds and Friday night
spent his first night in Africa under
canvas.
A big camp has been established
near the railroad station here for the
Roosevelt expedition, and lions
prowled about in the vicinity OF the
tents during the night.
The country is green, owing to the
recent rains, and there is every pros
poet of good sport. The commoner
varieties of game are plentiful, and
the huntsmen will lose no time in get
ting started on their shooting trips
to-day.
The camp established for Mr.. Roose-
welt is most elaborate. The caravan
will have a total of 260 followers.
There are 13 tents for the Europeans
and their horses, and so tents for the
porters. An American flag is flying
over the tent to be occupied by Mr..
Roosevelt All the native porters of
the expedition were lined up on the
platform when the Roosevelt special
pulled in, and as Mr.. Roosevelt stepped
down from the train they shouted a
salute in his honor. In response Mr..
Roosevelt raised his hat
Mr.. Roosevelt was on the COW
catcher of the engine when the train
pulled in, having occupied that posi-
ton for the rs miles between Makindu
and Kapiti Plains. He said he was
intensely interested in the country
and expressed his gratitude and de-
light at the hospitality shown him by
the acting governor and Mrs. Jackson.
