The Middle Horse.

A farmer. blowing with three horses

He finally observed. however. that as
they drew the pillow along the three
horses held their noses close togeth.
or. with the result that the middle
horse was compelled TO breathe the ex.
pircd air from It's fellows. The farmer
then procured a long "jockey" stick.
which he fastened with straps TO the
bits OF the outside horses. The device
worked perfectly. FOR. given Ns right.

die horse was able Ia do th, same
amount OF work and with no greater

Many persons are like the middle

they are not able TO perform as much
work nor OF as good quality rs they

St. Louis, April ~ John @. Mil
burn, senior counsel for the Standard
Oil company, continued his argument
in the United States court today, in
opposing the attempts of the govern
ment to dissolve the corporation.
He contended that the Standard
has been greatly maligned. whereas
it had been the nations greatest de-
veloper of not only local. but foreign
commerce. He confined himself
largely to the history of the oil COM
early activities. Mr.. Milburn
contended that the companies coming
under the trust agreement of 1879,
we're not competing comnanies. but
dealers in different lines. This Is the
ds fense's strongest argument.
Milburn said that instead of burn
ing the midnight oil, in an effort to
concoct conspiracies. the members Of
Kockefeller's company were fighting
for their very existence. against big
odds.
