Value of Laugh.
The value of good natured laugh
may be rated low by some people, but
many writers have attested its worth
in no measured terms.
1t is not surprising that the merry
Charles Lamb should have said, "A
laugh is worth 100 groans in any mar
ket," but from the lips of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear. mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether

1t was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that what was talked of as
the golden chain of Jove was nothing
but a succession Of laughs. a chro-
matte scale of merriment reaching
from earth TO Olympus"

With His View In Regard
TO Number of Standard
Oil Offenses.
TNTIaIATION Is THAT HIS LATER
RULING AT DEMAND OF At
TORNEY WILL NOT ADMIT OF
GROUPING REBATES.

CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-The United
States district attorney announced
broadly today that he will ask that
1t be ruled that the unit of offense
in the Standard Oil Co. case will be
the SO settlements of freight charges.
Under this ruling. the fine of only
s720,000 is possible as compared
with Judge Lands assessment of
$29, 9,240.000 in the original case.
Judge Anderson said: .I think
there can be no more convictions
than there have been settlements
wherein the carrier and the shipper
have settled accounts and the ship
per received return of the difference
between the valid rate and the rate
which was confession of these set
Elements, of which there are 36."
In rendering this opinion the court
also disposed of the contention of the
defense that the whole matter was
simply the continuing of offenses and
susceptible to but one punishment.
