The Man Who Got Even
By CARL JENKINS

John Singleton had owned and run
a factory for 40 years Those who
dealt with him In n business way
called him an eccentric; his employees
denounced him as a shnfInt and a
robber. No one could say that he
had ever given a cent 20 charity
When sickness came 20 one OF his
men that man was bounced right out
without a word OF sympathy. Appeals
didn't go with him. He had started
IN life with the feeling that the whole
world was down on him, and in being
what he was he felt that he was
fighting the world and holding his
own.
AZ the age of seventy Mr. Single
ton sold out HIS business 20 retire.
When he left the factory for the last
time the workmen appeared az the
doors and windows and sent a chorus
Of groans after him, and the street
beggars took 1t up and passed II along
He reached home-a home presided
over by an aged sister-to find that
woman who had walked the streets
for two days without food had sat
down on his steps 20 weep and rest.
He called the police and had her re-
moved. A oneeyed man loahng on
the opposite side OF the street when
the occurrence took place, estimated
that Old John. as he was best known,
had been the means Of sending at
least twenty mendicants a year TO
the island
II was natural 20 believe that after
the old man had retired from business
on a competence and had nothing TO
do but saunter around, there might
have come a change in him for the
better. Nothing of the kind hap
pened! He was still scrapping with
the world and he was still aggressive
instead Of sympathetic.
One day he halted on a corner,
ready to pick a fuss with anyone who
brushed against him. A young man
in the dress of a workingman leaned
against the lamp post in detected at
titude. Two men came out OF a sa-
loon and began to fight.
Good" chuckled Old John. He
liked to see one-half the world ham
mering the head Of the other.
The police came running. One OF
them seized the young man of the de-

the station with him.
Good" chuckled Old John again.
He liked to see folks get into trouble.
An officer reached out for the fight
ers, but they lodged him and ran
away. Then he turned on Old John
and whacked him on the head with
his stick-seized him by the coat col

cracked his heels, and then bore him
off in triumph. When he had landed
his prisoner in the station he pre-
ferred a charge of drunkenness and
disorderly conduct.
But I'm not drunk" protested the
prisoner.
Shut up"
And the young man you brought in
was not doing anything"
What's that? What's that?" ex-
claimed the captain of the precinct
as he came from his room.
I'll pay you out for this!"
Threatening an officer, eh? Rush
him!"
I'll get even with you if it takes a
hundred years."
Old John and the young man were
locked up together until it should be
time to take them to the night court.
For ten minutes the old man fairly
raved. Then he calmed down and
said to the other:

me it was her card, and that she had

Aunt Selma turned on him and Mr..

demanded.

generosity, American husbands are
subjected to good deal of pickering

"The following conversation be-

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

Il have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
1 twenty years. In my work as a nurse.
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, l always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of a lady friend
Of mine who, when a child, was af-
ficted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfgure-
ment looked terrible. I told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"A grown lady friend was afiicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cut1cura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
have also seen them cure children
OF ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
I began to apply the Ointment.
Last May had an ingrowing too
nail which was very painful, as the
side Of the nail was edging right
down in the side Of my toe cut

Of course applied the CuHcura Oint-
ment to the part affected. It soothed

all healed through constant use Of the

left hand and wrist burned with boil

completely cured them. I have Just

HITs SCHOOL BOOK ooMPANIEa
Governor Marshall castlgates Book
Publishers Who Attempted 70
Foist County Uniformity on
Graded Schools.

Indianapolis. - Governor Marshall,
In his message 10 the Indiana general
assembly went after the big school
book companies that sought two years
ago, 10 foist county uniformity OF
text books upon the schools OF In
/ diana.
In his message, Governor Marshall
says:
Two years ago the representatives
OF foreign school book publishing
| houses opened up lobby IN Indlanap-
oils pretending that the presence OF
/ their representatives here was e1-
clusively philanthropic and that they
had come into Indiana to show us how
defective our school system was. I
always suspect that philanthropy
which results in large pecuniary gain
10 the philanthropist."
Governor Marshal's stand will do
ter school book publishers from at
tempting to jam county uniformity
measure through the legislature.
Uniformity Bill In Ohio.
Columbus.-Se Senator Yount has IN
troduced a bill in the senate provid-
ing for county uniformity Of school
text books. Il applies only to the
elementary schools in the rural dis
trictB and villages. Because cities
are left out farmers and educators are
opposing the measure. Their argu-
ment is that If uniformity Is bad for
the cities II IS just as bad for the
country" and that it would cost mil
lions to install county uniformity.
The Yount measure would give
county commissioners and probate
judges power 70 appoint the board
that selected books. The matter OF
selection would be taken wholly from
the hands of boards of education and
school superintendents.
Senator Younts argument for tho
measure is that It would save money
to the people while the opponents IN
sist that it would throw the school
book question into politics; that It is
against home rule; and that It would
result in a county board taking COM
plete charge Of all school affairs, in
cluding hiring Of teachers and control
of the physical property Of a school
district. A similar measure was do
featcd in the legislature last winter.

general did not proceed to enforce the
laws penalties.
Senator Borah thinks that it is a
most amazing thing-the manner in
which the executive department of gov
eminent for twenty years has failed to
give vitality to the antitrust act. The
law has been in force during the time
that all the great trusts, with the sim
gle exception of Standard Oil, have
been organized. j. Piepont Morgan,
the prince of trust promoters, has or
ganized trust after trust in face of the
law, but there has been no attempt to
hold him personally responsible or to
hamper his work. And yet during
these years of trust promotion, the
people have been congratulated that
the trusts we're being smashed by
their fearless executives.
Mr.. Roosevelt vacillated between two
extremes one day he purposed TO put
the trust magnates in the penitentiary
and the next day he urged congress to
grant to the executive the authority to
legalize their acts and accept their
creations as accomplished facts. When
pleading for their recognition, he sug-
gested that the industry of the country
could not be regulated by lawsuit. And
therein, perhaps, will be found the
source of the laws weakness. An
English statesman once informed his
fellow members of parliament that
"you can't indict a people" and bring
them into court. And we may conclude
that the industrial activities of nation
covering half q continent cannot be d.
rected and supervised and compressed
by judicial DEGREES. The supreme court,
it is true, has delegated the task to the
circuit courts to organize reasonable
trusts, but we suspect that their work
will not prove as enduring as the pyra-
mids, though of more permanence, per-
haps than the soap bubbles blown in
childhood's fleeing hours.

EXPRESS RATES.
MlIMnnkte NnMs.

Milwaukee News,
Express rates are being investigated.
Under the direction of the interstate
commerce commission a committee is
sitting in Chicago hearing the appeal of
shippers and the defense of the com
panies as to the new rates the compan-
les propose 20 put into effect, and also
as to the old ones.
These new rates are a marked re-
duction from the old ones. But ship
pers do not think the reduction enough,
nor do they like the regulations as to
time Of filing claims and other details.
The contracts of the express companies
with the railways are also under fire.
Some Of the shippers appealing from
the tariffs believe that the railways
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1911-08-03

should do away with express contracts
and handle this business themselves as
part of their regular traffic. They
claim, and there appears to be sense to
their claim, that as the express COM
panies pay the railway well-55 per
cent it is said the roads make profit
from that payment. Then the express
companies make large profit from
their work of handling The detail.
1t is the claim of the shippers that
the railway organization can take care
of that business with little added ex-
pense and that such a plan would elm
mate one profit, and very possibly a
good part Of the other, that only one
profit would be paid In addition they
claim that the expense would be less so
the shipper again would benefit. All
the while the railways would be making
just as much Simply an unnecessary
load would be taken from the business.
This is probably true. But the best
solution of the whole question would be
the establishment by the government
of a capable parcels post to handle this
business between American Offices, as
it is now handled by the government
between this and foreign counties.
