There Is certain West Philadelphia

Recently when he was riding on q
Chestnut street trolley car a woman
sat opposite him with a baby In her
arms. Suddenly the baby began TO
CRY. Every one In the car seemed to
be annoyed and a general scowi went
around-that Is. every one except the
bachelor. He tried TO show by the
benign expression OF his face that the
crying OF the baby was sweet music TO
him. He smiled al the youngSter, but
the noise only grew louder. Finally
he leaned across the car.

After that the bachelor lapsed into

The Starting. Tongue.


1t is extraordinary how many per-
sons are under the impression that, in
order TO enable bird to talk. it is alb
solutely necessary to cut or slit its
tongue. have heard that this fall
lacy had its origin In the following
story: A man had number Of star
lings in a large cage marked Zine
Young Starlings = Only Shilling
Each" and as each would be pur-
chaser arrived the man would say.
There's fine bird there. sir" point
ing out one Of them. but want half
a crown for him, because he's the only
one with cut tongue, so he is bound
to be a talker." He would then pro-
coed to catch the bid and show the
cut tongue and invariably succeeded
IN effecting sale. This dodge would
be repeated as each new customer ar
rived and, departed rejoicing at his
good bargain. The reader perhaps is
not aware that all starlings have a
very peculiar formation at the ex-
tremity of the tongue. which gives the
appearance of little piece having
been shipped out of it.-London Strand.

article from the Cincinnati Times

when the Supreme Court of the
United States on Monday affirmed
the decree of the State Courts of
Texas imposing a fine of s1,623,9O0
on the Waters Pierce Oil Co., of~St.
Louis, and ousting it from the State
on the charge of the violation of the
Texas antitrust law, a death blow
was struck at a system of profitable
piracy which fourishes in three
States
After referring to the conclusions

mentous conclusions form part of
one of the most important decisions
ever announced in this country (and
quoting from the opinion) viz:
| That State Legislatures have the
right to deal with the subject matter
and to prohibit unlawful combina-
ton to prevent competition and in
restraint of trade and to prohibit and
punish, is not open to question. Hav-
ing the power to pass laws of this
character, of course, the State may
and determine the method and means
by which such laws may be made eff

Freight Rate Pledge Violated.


Upon that pledge the Democratic
leaders waged VERGE warfare Tin
the campaign) against the freight
rate discrimination, but when the
Legislature met in 1907, instead of
making an effort to relieve the peo-
pie OF this unjust discrimination,
they content themselves with the en-
actment of 2 n cent passenger fare
rate, which had not been mentioned
IN It's platform. After ranting over
| the State in an effort to enforce that
rate, the Governor and other leaders
or the Democratic party closed deal
with the railroads for a 2h cent per
mile passenger fare rate, and left the
roads absolutely free to continue
their unjust determinations in the
way of freight rates.
| Thus another solemn pledge was
broken. To ratify that deal, a spe-
c1ai session of the Legislature was
convened in February, 1908, at the
expense of the railroads, amounting
to $4,000, and the deal was ratified

campaign. This brilliant young cabinet

American correspondents called on him
at the board of trade offices for an inter

credentials, he refused to see them.
Finally a correspondent came with a
letter from Mr.. Lloyd George, and him
Mr.. Churchill saw gladly.

seven of your compatriots on this very
subject?
