who had gone to a neighbor's to borrow
a handful of salt. While reaching for
the salt into the salt box she, of course,
made a fist to hold the salt and so she
could not get her hand out because of
the clenched fist. The whole village ran
to the house-men, women and chill
dren-and all cried and shouted for
the old woman, who was in great
straits and couldn't get her hand free.
The peasant, who just then passed by,
gave the woman stroke with his whip
across her arm; she dropped the salt
and the hand was saved. There, too,
the peasant got enough of money.
In the next village he met some per-
sons on their way home from we'd
ding. The bride was already at the
door of her house trying to get in,
which she could not do, because the
door was too low. All cried and
shouted in great excitement and told
the bride to return to her parents,

A TALE FROM BOSNIA RETOLD by
LOUISE SOUVAN

n NCE peasant went out to till the
ground. Before going he told his
wife to be sure to bring his din
ner out TO the field at noon PunctuaIIy
at IL o'clock the wife sent the daughter
to take dinner out to her father. While
walking on the high road In the noon
day heat she perceived a willow tree
and decided to rest little in its shade.
While she was resting the daughter
began to think about the new school
which she was going to attend in the
fall. She wondered whether she would
like the teacher and whether the teach
er would like her. Then she began to
think how dreadful it would be il she
were to offend the teacher and to be ex-
PEELED. from the school
At that thought tears came to her
eyes and she cried and cried until she
forgot entirely about father and dinner
and everything. At home the mother
waited for the girl to come back, and as
she never came she went after her. She
found the daughter weeping bitterly
under the willow tree. When the
mother learned what caused her to cry
like that she, too burst into tears.
Mothers little Louisa expelled from
school, she cried louisa was the girls
name). Wouldn't it be awful! Mother
couldn't bear it, and she cried and
cried.
Toward evening the peasant started
for home. On the high road he met the
two crying yet. why, for goodness
sake. didn't you bring me my dinner?''
he asked. So they told him why they
had been delayed all day long.
Mercy upon u.s. cried the hungry
man. Tomorrow I'll go and look
about In the other villages to see if
there are elsewhere in the world such
foolish persons as are to be found here
at home
Next morning at sunrise he started
from home. He wandered and wan
dered. and toward noon he came to
village where people were building a
house. just this very moment they
were trying to fit in pale, but as it
was too short one kept pulling it on one
end while another one pulled the pale
on the other side, thinking to stretch
it that way.
What are you doing here?,' asked
the peasant.
They told him what they were trying
to do.

The Worlds First Oil Trust

1t is strange to find that the first oil
trust of the world was founded in far
away Asia. The petroleum business of
Burma has always been a monopoly. It
was in existence long before our Penn
sylvania oil was discovered, being then
in the hands of "a families who be-
longed to two villages located in the
Yenangyang oil country, from which
most of the petroleum still comes. GEN
erations ago these families had taken
possession of the oil fields and had so
fixed it that no one outside their own
own an oil well. The families were
known as Yoya, and their chiefs were
called Twinsayo. If a family had no
descendants it could sell only to the
other members of the combined fam
lilies; SO that the corporation was de-
cidedly close.
The Yenangyang had their own rules
as to the digging and sale of the oil.
These continued in force until little
over half a century ago, when King
Mindon, Thibaw's great predecessor, in
troduced the monopoly system by which
the oil was sold to him alone, the same
families producing it.
Many of those families are still TAX
ing out oil as their forefathers did.
Some have been bought out by the
trust. but others still compete, working
the old way. Their oil comes from
wells which are seldom more than ESQ
feet deep. They break the rock by
dropping pointed lump of iron. weigh
ing about $50 pounds, upon 1t again and
again, and then carrying the debris out
in buckets.
When the oil strata is reached they
wait for the well to fill and then raise
the oil in buckets, which are filled by
men lowered in rope sings to the bot
tom. There Is much gas in the wells
and the miners can stay below but a
few minutes. In order to make the
most OF their time they blindfold their
eyes before descending, tearing off the
bandages when they reach the bottom,
thus keeping their eyes in focus for Inn
mediate work. They use hats OF palm
leaf to protect their heads from the
stones and earthi which may fall upon
them from the sides OF the shafts
Their product is sold to the trust, and
at such rates that they can make but
little more than fair wages.
The Burmese oil company has TO nav
royalty TO the government. but ii is
largely protected by the administration
and there is little chance for outside
competition. The best OF its present oil
fields cover only about 100 square miles

The Way to School

Five minutes chasing butterflies
Way over. off the road
Five minutes watching Willie Price
Do tricks with his pet toad;
Five minutes helping Gibbsie get
His pig back in the pen
wonder If it's school time yet?
/ guess I'm late again
/ think lost little time
Because l walked so slow
Where Johnny watkins lost dime
A day or two ago.
It's underneath the leaves somewhere,
And Johnny feels so blue
That just stopped minute there
Because he asked me to.
And then it rained little bit,
And Dominick McPhee
Had his straw hat, and had to sit
Under a good thick tree
Or else he'd get it spoiled and get
The top all swelled. You see,
A straw hat Is not safe to wet
His kind, especially.
And after we had saved his hat
From getting spoiled for him.
A big woodpecker came and sat
Up on a rotten limb;
And Johnny said when they're about,
Somebody told the boys,
You see lot of worms come out
To see what makes the noise.
So then we boys all stayed about
A couple of minutes more.
In hopes to see the worms come out
Which he was rapping for;
But after he went b-r-r and b-r-r
A while he flew away.
And Johnny said he guessed there were
No worms at home that day.
SO then we hurried up and ran
AS fast as we could run.
TO get there just as school began.
And just when it's begun
l had to run back to the tree
TO get my slate and rule;
And yet the teacher can not see
Why boys are late for school!

LEWIsBURG, w. Va, May 25.-After

First SkirmiSh in

National Packing Company and Sub.

of Indictment.

CHICAGO, May 25.-The first skirmish in
the governments attack on the so-called
beef trust began before Judge Lands, in
the United States district court here today
when counsel for the National Packing
company and its ten subsidiary concerns
assailed the validity of the indictments
charging a combination in restraint OF
trade. q
In his argument George T. Buckingham
for the defendants, alleged:
That the indictment does not go into
particulars sufficiently.
That it does not charge a crime, moi
cite facts constituting a crime
That il there was a, crime the statutl
of limitations (3-years), had run against 1t
That the indictment charges no inter
state transaction.
That no place in which the combination
operated or had existence is alleged.
1t is a combination, which is Illegal no

Doctrine of Elect Infants"
Again Up for Discussion

on the subject are sub-divided into two
classes. One would tack footnote to the
clause itself,
The ad-interlm committee reported its
first recommendation as a footnote read
ing: This paragraph (the elect infant
clause) cannot, by fair Interpretation Of
the language be construed as teaching
that any OF those who die in infancy are
lost and It is not the belief OF the Pres
byterlan church In the United States that
any infants dying in infancy are lost"
AS second choice the committee recon-
mended that the present clause be super
eeded by the following:
III those whom God hath given to the
Lord Jesus to he his seed. such as are
Incapable Of being outwardly called by the
ministry OF the word, are regenerated and
saved by Christ, through the spirit who
worketh when and where and how he
peaseth."
This was drawn TO protect the doctrine
OF election to avoid implying that any
dying infants are lost and to preserve the
theoretical style Of the confession.
