IAN absolute cessation of interstate

braced in the combination a result
which might arise from that portion
Of the decree which enjoined carrying
on of interstate commerce not only
by the New Jersey corporation, but
by all of the subsidiary companies
until the dissolution of the combina-
ton by the transfer of the stocks in
accordance with the decree"
The court also extended the time
from one to six months in which the
dissolution must take place.
Important Point Is Made.
Probably the most important prop
Osition Of law laid down in the opinion
was that the words in the statute,
be literally construed, but are to be
construed in the light of reason.
On this point the court held that
the position of the government that
any qualification of this phrase was
precluded by previous decisions of the
Supreme court was erroneous.

Speaking of this error of the gov
eminent Chief Justice White in his
opinion said:
This is true because as the acts
which may come under the classes
stated in the first section and the re.
straint of trade to which that section
applies are not specifically enumerated
or defined, ii is obvious that iudg.

into play TO determine whether a par.

and second sections of the Sherman
antitrust law controlled the case.
Case Tests Antitrust Law.
The suit which called forth the
Standard Oil decision was begun in
1906 in the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of Mis-
souri, 1t was brought in the name OF
the United States. The immediate
object was to dissolve the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey.
From the beginning the business
and legal worlds recognized that the
suit put the Sherman antitrust law
TO the most severe test to which 1t
had been subjected The law had
been the basis of about eighteen suits
on which the Supreme court of the
United States passed. That the law
was constitutional was accepted as
settled by these decisions, but, simple
as the words of the statute seemed,
there was an absence of unanimity in
regard to its Interpretation. With
that situation confronting the govern
ment and the defendants, the suit was
begun with the general belief that the
entire business world would feel the
effect of the outcome of the gigantic
struggle

Musicians and Sneezing.

Nobody can dispute the sincerity OF
the players in big orchestra like the
Philharmonic or the New York Sym
phony. Most of the time they take
their work seriously, but sometimes
the men break loose and play tricks on
one another as though they were
youngsters in school. OF course the
audience knows nothing of these
things; they're usually perpetrated in
rehearsals.
The red pepper trick is the common
est. The jokers scatter it where the
bassoon and trombone players are like
" to suck ii up. The result is chokes
and SneeZes. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches even into the strings, but Of
course the players on the wind instru-
ments get 1t worst.
As a matter of fact, the jobers are
playing with fire. "a confirmed
sneeZer cant get Il job in a good or
chestra. no matter how good a per-
former he may be-" said consistent
concert goer. Think of the effect of
a rOusing sneeZe on a pianissimo!
Why, it would spoil whole concert,
one sneeze would. A conductor has to
guard against sneeZe as he does
against inebriety."-New York Sun.

Elephant Humor.

The courage of lion at bay, great
as it is, is no greater than that Of the
buffalo, and he must yield his scepter
to the elephant, declares II. L. Tangye
in his book, "In the Torrid Sudan" as
to courage, size, strength and intelli-
gence. 1t is a temptation to declare
that the elephant possesses a sense Of
humor. A herd of elephants once fell
in with a train of donkeys. Their
attention concentrated on the load the
donkeys carried. With all the mischief
Of monkeys, the loads were torn
asunder and their contents distributed
over half the province. At Bor. on
the Mountain Nile. the elephants were
at one time full Of practical jokes.
Passing at night time through the vii
lage, they would knock the sleepers
up by demolishing their huts above
their heads, then contentedly march
away.

A Lucky Game of Chess.

A story is told Of the Moorish prince
Abul Hejex, who was thrown into
prison for seditiOn by his brother Mo
manned, king of Granada. There he
remained for several years until the
king, fearing he might escape, placed
himself at the head of fresh revolt
and seized the crown, ordering one Of
his pashas to see to his immediate ex-
ecution. Abul Hejex was playing at
chess when the pasha came and babe
him prepare for death. The prince
asked for two hours respite, which
was refused. After earnest entreaty
he obtained permission to finish his
game. He was in no hurry about the
moves, we are told, and well for him
he was not, for before an hour had
elapsed a messenger brought the news
that Mohammed had been struck dead
by apoplexy. and Abul was forthwith
proclaimed king Of Granada. 1t was
indeed a small favor for the pasta to
grant. but it altered the whole current
Of the kings career.

Beauty and tho Beast.

A well known churchman was visit
ing New York, accompanied by his
wife, who is as beautiful as her life
mate is homely. They were walking
down Broadway one afternoon, and
the pair attracted much attention.
One Of two young sports" evidently
thinking to attract the favorable at
tention Of the churchman's wife, in an
audible aside remarked that it was
another case Of "the beauty and the
beast" Quick as a wink the husband
turned and, as he swung his right to
the speakers jaw, scoring a knockout,
said, II am a man Of peace, but new
er allow any one to call my wife a
beast"

Solitude.

Solitude is dangerous to reason with
out being favorable to virtue. Pleas
ures Of some sort are necessary to the
Intellectual as to the corporal health,
and those who resist gayety will be
likely for the most part to fall sac
rifice to appetite, for the solicitations
Of sense are always at hand, and a
dram to vacant and solitary person
is a speedy and seducing relief. Re
member that the solitary person is GER
tainly luxurious, probably supersti-
tious and possibly mad. The mind
stagnates for want of employment and
is extinguished, like candle in foul
air.-Johnson.
