something about passing train to

saw Peter walking briskly as his halt
would permit toward the track. He
climbed the fence dividing IT from the
farm, dragging his stiff leg over after
him and stood between the rails. At
that moment the train shot out Of the

whistles and saw Peter. instead Of get

glimpse OF Mary Ann wildly running

I heard the train stop. a kissing Of

not spoken. The old, the middle aged,
the young may experience 1t. 1t is
not confined to any class. 1t is seri-
GUS, pathetic, yet there are times when
1t is ridiculous.
When Mary Ann, who had served
US faithfully for twenty years, an
nounced that she was about to be
married to Peter, the hired farm hand,
we were astonished. Never had we
seen the couple spooning or incoming.
On the contrary, we had observed
what we considered evidence OF ami
mostly. They we're continually max

knew Mary Ann was good woman
and we had little interest in Peter, for
he was with us only for the harvest

The Standard Oils Victory.

While there will doubtless be great
rejoicing In the camp Of the Standard
OIL company, as well as in democratic
headquarters, over the decision of
Judge Anderson of the federal court
at Chicago in ordering a verdict for
the defendant in the famous case of
the government against the Standard
Oil company, this rejoicing may be
premature, or at least only temporary,
as 1t is certain that the cas- will be
appealed to the circuit court and will
eventually be passed upon by the SUI
preme court of the United States.
The layman is entitled to the con-
clusion that Judge Lands decision.
imposing a fine of $29,240, 600 against
the Oil trust was perhaps as extreme
in one direction as Judge Anderson's
action in directing a verdict for the
defendant is in the other. Justice in
the case probably lies between the two
extreme decisions, and the supreme
court may be relied upon to find it.
Judge Anderson's order was based
upon his opinion that the government
had failed to prove that the Oil trust
had guilty knowledge of the rebates it
received from the railroad company.
The prosecution showed hat the rail-
roads had a published raterof Is cents
on oil, but that a scent rate had been
granted to the Oil trust. The court
held that there should be proof that
the expert traffic managers of the Oil
trust knew that the scent rate was
not the regular, officially published
schedule. AS Il is the business of
these trafic experts TO know all about
rates, legal and Of the rebate brand,
the layman will be disposed to agree
with Judge lands that the Oil trust
oficials must have known of the dis
crepancy and must have known what
the rebates they received we're framed
to cover. However, the decision
leaves that question still to be deter
mined by the higher courts. The
Anderson finding will serve to delay,
but by no means defeats the final de-
termination of the merits of the entire
controversy.
oil trust rejoicing over the Chicago
victory will be toned down very con-
siderably by the decisive defeat sus-
tanned by the trust in its litigation
with the state of Missouri. The SUI
preme court of that state has denied
all overtures by the Standard for a
compromise of the cases pending
against the trust and has confirmed a
decree OF custer by which the Stand
ard IL driven from the state, be-
