THE FISH TRUST. HOW 1T WORKS

Editor Call: Four companies control
our fish supply-the California, the
American, the Western, and PaIadini.
These men regulate the catch and the
price and brook no competition. Re
Gently new company. the Portola, be-
gan business and lowered the price
several cents. An Oakland dealer. who
sells in Hayward twice a week bought
some salmon from the new company
and went to one of the old ones TO
make out his load. He was asked
where he had bought the salmon, and,
learning that il was from the PortOla.
the trust company refused 10 sell un-
less he returned to the PortOla COM
pany the fish he had bought there.
This he had to do. and did do. to get
his load. AT present he carries only
fiat fish and herring; salmon. bass and
halibut being too dear for his CUSTOM
eFs. His name is Larsen and he lives
in Oakland. His evidence can be had.
The trust is making money fast Pal
adini is said to have cleared $50, ,000 in
three years. But they prosper by rob-
bing everybody. They rob poor Lar
sen. who can not sell at their price.
They have robbed the Portola company
by destroying Its business and are now
being sued for heavy damages for so
doing. They rob the rich by the ex=
cessive price. And they rob the rest
of US by cutting off this article of food
which they do as mercilessly as an in
vading army cuts off supplies from
besieged town.
In palliation of these proceedings it
must in fairpess be said that these
gentry carry on their depredatfons so
frankly above board that they have
furnished evidence which will be apt to
place them inside prison bars

How to Treat Your Wife.

See your wife as seldom as
possible. If she is warm
hearted and cheerful in tenn
per, or if, after a days or a
weeks absence, she meets
you with a smiling face and in
her affectionate manner, be
sure to look coldly upon her
and answer her in monosylla-
bles If she forces back her
tears and is resolved TO look
cheerful, sit down and cape
in her presence, till she is
fully convinced of your in
Inference. Never think you
have anything to do to make
her happy, but that her hap
piness is to flow from crafty
ing your caprices; and when
she had done everything a
woman can do, be sure you do
not appear gratifed. Never
take an interest in any of Der
perSuits: and if she asks your
advice, make her feel that she
is troublesome and imperti-
nent. If she attempts to rally
you good natuedly on any of
your peculiarities, never join
in the laugh, but frown her
into silence. Ifshe has faults
never attempt with kindness
to correct them, but continu-
ally obtrude her ears: "What
a good wife Mr.. Smith has"
"How happy Mr.. Smith is
with his wife?" In company
never seem to know you have
a wife. Be very affable and
complaisant to every other
lady. If you follow these dir
ectlons you may be ureof an
obedient and heartbroken wife

The Sobriety Of The Editor.

Itused to be said, with some
truth, years ago, that the
meetings of the Kentucky
Press Association was one big
bowling drunk. Itcan no long
er be said. The meeting
last week of the Press Associs:-
tion at Middlesboro was a SUI
perb test of the sobriety and
temperance of the Kentucky
editors. TWAS the. "wettest"
town they ever struck and red
liquor of all kinds was as free
as water and seemed to be
more abundant. The fact,
coupled with the insistence of
the hospitable citizens of the
mountain city that we should
eat drink and be merry, made
the temptation about as great
as possible, yet there was not
a single newspaper man in all
the four days under the infiu-
ence of liquor and nearly half
of them did not touch a drop.
This is to the credit of the
Kentucky Press Association
and for real temperance we
put them against any other
organization in the State
Elizabethtown News.

Poor Mule.

This is a story ola Kansas
mule. The corn was about
ready to lay by, and his mas
ter was in the midst of the
final blowing when the mule
decided that he was through
with work. No amount or
form of moral or other suasion
could induce him to ''pull the
hat off your head" Exasper-
ated beyond endurance, the
master at last succeeded in
leading him to a nearby corn
crib, where he fastened him
with a log chain with the ex-
pressed intent of leaving him
there until became to his SEN
ses. The day was as hot as
Kansas. The flies were Kan
sas flies and thick as they
grow in Kansas. The crib
was full of popcorn. By and
by the mule began to register
his protest against the out
rage, for such he conceived
it to be, by a lively tattoo
against the side of the crib.
''An' he kicked an he kicked
an he kicked" until his shoes
became red hot and set fire to
the corn crib. The fire pop
ped the corn, which fell about
in such profusion that the
mule believing it was showing
lay down and froze to death.
