is notably deficient in mineral matter.
The horse in eating the material describ-
ed in your letter is probably attempting
to secure a part of the mineral matter
which her system Graves. We would
suggest that you change the ration to
one-third oats and two-thirds corn. Two
pounds of cotton seed meal per day will
also be a good addition to the ration.
Then we would keep salt where she can
secure it at will. The horse needs a
tonic treatment for some little time. Give
her bran mashes or anything that is
cooling, laxative and soothing to the di-
gestive system. 1t would do no harm to
give salts in four-ounce doses for a few
days until the digestive system becomes
well regulated. We think by following

that contains large amount of mineral
matter that you will be able to effect

BIG FINANCIAL TRUST
HOLDS MONEY IN Grasp

NEW YORK, Dec. $3.50 close has be
come the alliance and amalgamation OF
leading financial interests in Wall street
during the past three months that almost
absolute control of the country's f1nan-
cial affairs is now centralized in the hands
of very few men, who are acting in con-
cert.
A money trust has come into existence
with J. P. Morgan at its head, the most
gigantic combination of capital in the
world.
There is no concrete. definite organiza-
ton to this latest trust, no legal incor-
poration, no elected directors, no list Of
stockholders. TO use the descriptive
phrase OF the financial world it is simply
community of interests" The mem
bers of this community of interests, the
men who would be directors of an incor-
porated company are:
]. P. Morgan, private banker, its I'M
questioned leader.
George F. Baker, chairman of the board
of directors OF the First National bank.
James Stillman, chairman of the board
of directors of the National City bank.
William Rockefeller, vice president Of
the Standard Oil company.
Henry c. Prick, capitalist
William X. Vanderbilt as represent
tative of mis- family interests.
A number might be added to the list
who are contributors in one way or the
other.
The Guggenheim family, powerful in
the mining and smelter, are said to be
Standard Oil and Morgan capitalists.
The railroad people, headed by
James ]. Hill, nave close relations with
the houses of Morgan and Mr.. Baker S
bank Mr.. Baker is director IN
Mr. Hills bank, the Chase National.
Thomas F. Ryan mas practically re-
tired from active participation in
financial affairs, turning over control Of
his interests to partners in this money
trust. His sale OF the Equitable Life
Assurance society to Mr.. Morgan was
concrete evidence OF his assent to the
new order of things.
The Hartman estate, too, is in
friendly alliance with the trust.
Mr. Morgan recently purchased the
Hartman and Mutual Life holdings in
the Guaranty Trust company showing
the harmonious cooperation of the late
financier's advisers.
Two powerful interests remain indie
pendent but not hostile. Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., private bankers of great resources,
continue along their own lines of bust
ness, but on occasions join hands with
the Morgan group. The Moore-Reid
group of railroad f1nanciers play their
own game. but frequently meet with
leading members of the Morgan combine
in the directors room of great corpora
tons.
1t would be impossible to figure the to-
tai of the direct and indirect capital now
centralized in this money trust. To be-
gin with, the banking firm Of J. p. Nor
gan & Co., being a private co-partner-
ship, makes no reports. When ii does
report it places its assets at SIG. 900. 900,
which directors can utilize to advantage
in financial operations. The assets Of
the three insurance companies invested
largely in bonds of railroad and indus
trial companies aggregate considerably
more than a billion dollars.

A Billiken doll and a North Pole baby
had stood close together in the window
of a large toy store, and had become
great friends. 1t was fun to stay there
in the window, where they could see all
that went on in the street, and watch
the children peeping in at them.
But one night they were all packed in
large baskets and taken out of the win
dow and put back on the counters. When
Billiken and Miss North Pole came out
of the dark basket and found themselves
side by side again, they were very hap
Ply.
They missed being in the window, but
there was much TO amuse them here.
They liked to see the salesladies wind up
the automobiles, the tiny climbing mon.
keys, the little tin dancers and fiddlers
for the childrens amusement, but they
were glad there was nothing inside Of
them that could be wound up with a key.
One day a lady came in and picked up
Billiken. He was sent off in little wire
basket to be wrapped up, and was taken
away. The poor little North Pole baby
was broken hearted when days went by
and Billiken didn't come back to her.
At last Christmas eve came, and there
was such a crowd in the store and every
thing was being tossed about. Suddenly
the NorIn ToIe DaDy IelI herself Selzeo,
then she was tied up with some other
toys and carried away AS soon as she
was unwrapped she was stuffed down
into a stocking.
The next morning when she was taken
out by baby hands and Rugged and kissed
she was glad to see daylight once more.
And what do you think she saw just be-
ing pulled out of another stocking? Her
Billiken! The children laughed and clap
ped their hands, and somebody said :
What an awful grim" but to her it was
the sweetest smile on earth
And, indeed, he was trying to smile his
sweetest. because he was so glad to see
her. And, living together in the same
nursery, the little friends are happy once
more.

We Judge that your mule is suffering
from some form of indigestion brought
on. very likely, from improper food. or
from feeding too persistently on one or
two varieties of grain. Grain is used
entirely too much as the chief source of
the ration of horses and mules in the
south. More succulent food should be
provided and the animals allowed a rest
and change on pasture. An abundance
of excellent pasture for horses may be
had during the winter season by SOW
ing oats and vetch early in the fall. A
rest and opportunity to Craze for a few
days on a good Bermuda sod in the sum-
mer is helpful in toning up the system.
Some oats fed with the corn, or a little
molasses or cotton seed meal, anything
to give variety to the ration will be bene-
fetal, Bran mashes given occasionally
for a few times will also prove helpful
Since the trouble has not likely become
chronic as yet, we think a laxative diet
and change in feed and rest will prob
ably effect a cure. You will find two
ounces Of jamaica ginger given in a
pint of moderately hot water as a drench
three times daily an, excellent tonic
This treatment should be continued for
several days. A condition powder will
often prove helpful in such cases. While
there are a great variety Of these pow
ders. the following is probably as good
as any: Two ounces OF sulphate of iron,
two ounces nitrate of potash, two ounces
gentian root, two ounces nux vomica
seed and one ounce of ginger root. Thor
oughly pulverize and mix together and
give a heaping teaspoonful in the feed
three times daily

JAMES RADCLIFFE.

James Radcliffe, Earl of Derwent-
water who was one of the leaders of
the English rebellion of 1715 and paid
for his participation in that uprising
with his head. was born 900 years ago
today in the city of London.
He was educated in France but re-
turned to England on the death of
his father in 1905 and succeeded to the
title and estate as the third earl of
D5rWentWater.
Becoming interested in politics, the
earl aligned himself with the Jacob
II after the revolution of 1858 and af
terward banded together to maintain
sentiments of loyalty toward the house
OF Stuart.
Derwentwater soon became promin
ent in the councils of his part and
worked with might and main to secure
the restoration of the Stuarts to the
throne of England Naturally enough
such sentiments did not find a re-
Spouse in the breasts of those to whom
divine wisdom had committed the gov
ernment of England and who were
anxious to perpetuate themselves.
In the crude manner of that day, the
issue was submitted to the arbitrament
of arms, which ended in the disas-
trous encounter at Preston in 1715. His
grace, the Earl of Derwentwater, was
taken prisoner and rudely carried
away to the Tower of London.
He was not forced to linger long in
that bastile At the opening of Parlia-
ment he was impeached for high trea-
son, tried in Westminster hall, admit
ted his guilt and threw himself on the
mercy of the king. His majesty was
short of that quality and long on re.
venge Despite every effort of the
friends of the unhappy noble to secure
a pardon, on his promise to never rebe
against the king again, the monarch
refused to intercede in his favor. S,
on February "a, 1716, the earl wa
taken to the chopping block on Towe
Hill and beheaded
The unfortunate earl is not un
known in literature, being the hero o

Every Car Must Also

Another phase of the new law which
requires dealers to pay 81 for the IN

result Of the last session OF the legls-

ment under the jurisdiction of the rail-

The contention made against the law
is that when dealers buy hay AND

lit in their own warehouses, and when
needed have it shipped to the coast

AFTER ELEVEN YEARS OF PA
TENT TOLL, BURIED CITY is
BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
Much of the Masonry Has Been De-
stroyed and Ten Years More Are
Needed to Complete Work.

BERLIN, June 28-Babylon, the
great and mighty metropolis of the
ancients, now buried beneath the sands
of the Mesopotamian plain, will soon
be uncovered to an extent that will
show to the most casual visitor some
thingthing of it's vanished grandeur.
This is the statement of prominent
members of the committee in charge
of the excavation work, which held a
meeting here today to plan for the fu-
ture progress of the gigantic undertake
ing.
For eleven years the German exca-
vators have worked steadily and pa
tiently in the mighty mound that
heaves itself up from the dead fiat OF
the sun dreEched and arid plain. This
mound is Babylon. The city wall
stretches out south eastward from it,
then turns back sharply towards the
Euphrates, wall and river enclosing in
Great mounds, covering the sites OF
palaces and temples, lie near the river

or castle, as the Arabs call it, lie the

Another eight or ten years work will
