Landis as much as told the members to indict the individual packers.
 Only a short time before the judge had sustained demurrer to indict- ments against the corporations com prising the beef trust Now it is Ar mour, Swift. Morris, ct al. who have to look or they will find themselves charged with violating the Sherman antitrust law.
 No jurist on the federal bench Is more vigorous than Judge Landis and it is probable that the packers would rather find themselves facing most any other man in court. Judge Landis is fair and above all honest. and he re- quires the same of all of his court of- ficials. He has been known to fine a poor unfortunate in cases where there were extenuating circumstances the smallest amount possible and let them off just as lightly as he could, but where it is an old offender or a case requiring drastic action he is just as quick to apply the full penalty of the law.
 Prices of meat are of interest to every man, woman and child in the country, and if it is found that there has been any conspiracy to increase the cost. the grand jury indicts and a trial jury finds the magnates guilty, Judge Landis may be depended upoD to do the rest.

Where Two Empires Meet.

Most travellers enter Russia by way of Alexandrovo from the west. but those who venture on the beaten track occasionally cross the frontier by way of Galicia and Brady. where the first station on Russian soil Is Radziwillov The surrounding country is fiat and fertile; the peasants are of Rutheniar origin: the land owners are Poles: the officials Russian; the traders in town and villages are generally Jews. It is from this district. which is not often visited by Englishmen that the Radzi- will family takes its name.
 The Radziwill country, the border land along which two empires have ebbed and flowed, does not at first seem very attractive to the casual traveller. but those who have lived there and have learned something of the racial strife that has long divided the district and that still divides il are not long in finding that 1t exer- cises a subtle fascination over them. Yet it would fail them to put this fas- cination into words or to analyze the sentiments of which 1t is made up.

SpIder-Web Suits.

Now that the hot weather is with us again 1t might pay some enthusi- astic tradesman to revive the manu- facture of costumes from spiders webs, which at one time served to make a cool and attractive fabric. The first person to use the webs in this way was a Montpelier merchant named Bon. Louis XIV. himself deigned to appear in spider-web suit, with gloves and stockings of the same material, end several of his court fol lowed his example. The fashion was at it's height from 1709 to 1711. But the spiders appear to have struck work, or perhaps they were swept down by conscientious housemaids. Anyhow, you would hardly get a spi- der suit today.

On Fools.

When a child, with childlike apprchensions, that dived not below the surface of the matter, I read those parables- not guessing at their involved wisdom II had more yearning toward that simple architect that built his house upon the sand than I entertained for his more cautious neighbor. grudged at the hard censure pronounced upon the quiet soul that kept his talent and-prizing their simplicity beyond the more provident. and. to my ap- prehension. somewhat unfeminine wariness, of their competitions felt a kindliness that almost amounted to a tendre for those five thoughtless vir gins.

DOG AND HORSE FLESH.
Over I3O,OOO Horses and 5000 Dogs
 Consumed Each Year.

Over I3O,OOO Horses and 5000 Dogs
 Consumed Each Year.
 Though the preparation and sale O: dog flesh may be declared officially not to exist in France, the same cannot be said in regard to Germany, a Der lin correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald says. That the dog finds himself in various post mortem forms on the table of the Ger man gourmet is not to be denied, but the fact must be borne in mind that no misrepresentation is allowed by the German authorities. If it is dog it must be called dog, and not horse or canvasback duck. I have examined a few statistics and find that about 135,- 900 horses are butchered for food an nually in the German empire. The corresponding figure for goats is 400,- GOO and for dogs about 5000.
 It is known that Germany produces
 the finest qualities of sausages known to the trade, and it is also known that cab horse and lost dog enter largely into the composition of the most ap- petizing grades. The nicely rolled and spiced result of the sausagemaker's art provides very savory article of diet and the hungry restaurant GUS toner does not bother himself with the thought that at some previous time he may have rode behind it in a cab or kicked it in the street
 The test for telling whether 1t is horse or dog, and which has become venerable as a German joke, is as fol- lows: You cut the sausage in five or six little pieces and arrange the pieces in line, just like line of cabs stand ing at a street station. Then you re- move the piece at the head of the line and if the second piece moves forward to the place thus made vacant it is horse.
 While on the subject of dogs, might mention the fact that dogs in Berlin do not enjoy such a gayety of existence as do those of Paris. The "Berliner hund" is no such royalty privileged animal as his Parisian cous- in. He is not allowed seat at table with his master or mistress, as is the case in many Partisan restaurants He enjoys no front stairway rights-he doesn't care much, anyhow, as every Berlin apartment house has it's "es- caller de service"
 Still greater, however, is his chief hardship. He is obliged to wear q muzzle all the time. He may be as gentle as a white rabbit, or he may be as handsome as an oil painting, but the public is always protected against his possible fury, and his beauty is always hidden behind leather straps. Worst of all, he cannot "get at any other dog. He sees innumer- able chances for a first class fight. but can do nothing but growl. When visitors arrive in Berlin and see all the nice dogs wearing muzzles, they are inclined to say: What a pityl" but their German friends reply, Tt is the law" and there is nothing more to be Said

stenographer in the general assembly of New York, became private secre- tary to several public officials. report CT of the New York constitutional con- vention and in 1894 district attorney. Next we find him a stenographer in the office of Governor Roosevelt. He attracted the attention of the future president and was made private secre- tary. He held this position until Roosevelt's term of governor expired and then became the colonel's secre- tary while Roosevelt was vice-presi- dent. When Roosevelt was made president upon the death of McKin- ley, Loeb followed him to the White House and after MT. Cortelyou was appointed postmaster general Loeb be- came private secretary. In his term of office at the White House the title was changed from private secretary to that of secretary to the president.
 There have been many secretaries to presidents or private secretaries as you may wish to call them, but there have been few who had anything on Mr Loeb.
 It is doubtful if any other secretary had such tasks to perform as were those set by Roosevelt for his aid.
 Loeb was an ideal buffer for a pres ident He had a knack of handling big matters quickly and expeditiously.

HAS ND REAL PLACE
SINCERITY NOT WANTED IN THE
 WORLDS AFFAIRS.
Man Who Set Out to Be Absolutely Truthful in All Things Announces That He Quickly DiscoV-
 cred the Fact.

T will be sincere I said to myself. No matter what it costs me, will say exactly what I think at all times and all places. I will have nothing to do with shams and pretenses and conventions" So I went out and tried it.
 ITO the first man I met I stated my position and my intention of speaking my mind. The man grasped me by the hand as though I was his long-lost brother.
 You are the man for mel" he de clared I'm sick of the conventional humbug of the world We will be friends, you and I, and we will always say exactly what we mean to each other, and tell each other our real opinions"
 We will," said I, land as start, should like to say that the color of that tie you have on does not suit you at all. 4 man with your complexion should never wear red tie" But my new-found friend was a Socialist, and he felt as though he was saying his creed every time he caught sight of his red tie in shop window, so. after slight argument. he remembered previous engagement and vanished.
 I was somewhat puzzled, but went on my way, and presently met a nice, pretty girl, and to her I unfolded my philosophy.
 I'm awfully glad you've told me" she said. q get so tired of all the silly things people say to one, and I have so often longed for friend who would tell me what he really thought of me. You will, won't you?"
 'T will," I promised. I'll begin now You say you get tired of people who say silly things to you, but really you like them"
 But it happened that she was girl who prided herself on being sincere, who explained to herself many times daily that she only did conventional things because lone had to-" and so she was not at all pleased. She told me in tones of perfect politeness that was quite mistaken, and went off to talk to another man who told her what a relief it was to meet some one who was not afraid of calling a spade spade.
 But at last I found an old lady, a beautiful old lady, who was not in the least ashamed of being old and look ing old. To her I made, as in duty bound, my declaration of absolute and truthfulness, but in stead of composing odes in my honor she sat up and shook her finger at me.
 Nov, nowl" she said. That won't do with he. young man. All the men who want to pay the most outrageous compliments begin like that, and I've heard too many of them" And the more I protested my complete sincere ity, the less she would believe me.
 So what was to do? To try to be sincere with myself was about the only thing left. After few more ex- periences of the same sort, which invariably brought the same results, decided that real sincerity didn't occupy very permanent place in this worlds affairs.

Psrisian Burglars Ingenious Device.


 A new device for robbing flats was hit upon by a Frenchman who is now in jail. Dressed as a working man and carrying a bucket filled with a mys- terious compound, he was in the habit of calling at flats saying that he had come by the landlords orders to dis infect the place.
 During the operation such an un- pleasant smell was emitted that the tenant hastily decamped to the room farthest removed from the scene of Tdisinfection," leaving the coast clear for the burglar. The latter at length presented himself at nat which hap pened to be occupied hg t8s landlord himself and a few minutso a4terward he was handed over to the police.

he spoke only as expressing his own per-

on this.
