replied it would cause him to feel

thought if we proceeded to the diner

we would be able to look on the

years of age. He called me by the
name of Harrison and insisted that
he knew me and kept at it with such
persistency that in disgust took out

that and also showed him some Gre

When he had seen these he profuse-

that after my friend and had dined

About the most realistic story /

several years ago, while upon a jour-
ney from the city of Milwaukee to
the Pacific coast to enjoy several
weeks vacation among some friends.
Ny friend and | had been on the
train about thirty-six hours and it
was passing through some small vii
lage in the state of Montana when /
awoke from my nightly slumbers.
Not being in the very best of nature
that morning arose and after spen-
ding some time making myself look
presentable, called the porter to as

ing informed that he was / stated /

friend arrived at my apartment and

which / replied by asking him how

Why IS It?
J. a. o.
J. a. o.

IT cannot be this earth is all
The abiding place, that man shall see;
He cannot be a bubble small
Cast up by the ocean Of eternity
To float awhile in storm and stress
A living, breathing, moving sight,
And then sink back to nothingness,
And darkness of eternal night.
ELSE why is it that the glorious hopes
That leap like angels from our hearts,
To aspirations lofty slopes
Unmeasured by all human charts;
Where like the temples reared of old
We build, and dream, in strength and pride,
And find their crumbling ruins hold
Our pride and hopes unsatisfed?
Why is it that the rainbows come
With beauty that is not of earth,
An then pass off to realms unknown
While we muse DER their wondrous birth?
Why is it that the stars which hold
Their festal round the midnight throne
Are set above in space untold,
And mock us from their glory zone?
Why is it that bright human forms
Clothed with sweet beauty to our view,
Are then removed beyond the storms
And ken of earth, they bid adeu;
Leaving affections streams to flow
Like Alpine torrents DER our heart?s
Why is it that we cannot know
To where they go, before we part?
L'ENvoI
BECAUSE our destiny is not of earth,
There is a higher realm unseen,
Where rainbows ever have BIRTH
Where stars forever brightly CLEAN;
Spread out before us like the isles
That slumber on the oceans tide
And where the hopes that here beguile
Will stay forever by side.
Where human forms we loved and knew,
Shall greet us in the summer land,
And clear away the doubt that grew
Through mists, we could not understand.

miles distant from Milwaukee and
among the other inhabitants of this
city had been middle aged gentle

being considered one of the most lib

the country, judging by the tone of
his conversation with other citizens
and his donations Of funds for char
liable institutions.
One day in the month Of July two
young men arrived, ostensibly to en-
joy a vacation there by fishing in
the neighboring lakes with which
the country abounded. The young
men took up their abode at one of
the prominent hostelries convenient
for that purpose. They had spent
several weeks there and seemed to
be enjoying the sport with great
gusto. A couple of weeks late r
one of them retarned home, the
other remaining and being Of very
genial disposition he was not long in

resided and how much wealth he
possessed. While engaged in this
crafty investigation he discovered
the young man was the possessor OF

considerable wealth which he had
inherited on the death of his parents

lost his wife by death several month";
previous to his coming to that city
Rollins discovered the young mar

Rollins bethought to himself that he
would outline some transaction ano

such easy prey, and not let someone
else fleece the lamb. With tbi

thought Rollins certainly was God
fearing, honest and upright man and
was only trying to obey the teachings
of the Scripture by following the
lines of the Golden Rule, to build
the foundations of his soul upon the
rocks and not on the sand.
Rollins, with his greedy malevo.

to the young man by manifold Illus
trations that large fortune awaited
the person who invested his money
1 in erecting factory for the manufac-
ture of cement. All the necessary
ingredients for its manufacture were
to be found in that locality and that
fine factory site with the best of
shipping facilities were available and
could be purchased at reasonable
price. Rollins stated he thought
this would be a great opportunity
for the young man and if the afore-
said young man wanted to make an
investment that would treble his for

his aid in every respect and would
take half of the stock of the corpor-
alton himself.
The young man saw nothing but
kindness and charity for himself in
Rollins suggestions and thinking it
would not injure anyone to acquire
some of the worldly goods lying
around in such great quantities and
going to waste, he would follow Rol-
lins' advice as he would be able to
provide more handsomely for his
baby daughter when she matured in
life.

The TELEPHONE
TRUST MAKERS
UNITED rnnsa ,..s.n v1Rn.1


Washington, Feb. S.-Anticipating
the formation of a multi-million dol
lar telephone trust, the United States
department of justice today detailed
special agents to investigate every
step taken by representatives of the
Independent Telephone Association,
which is meeting in Chicago this
week.
1t is reported that a plan is being
considered to consolidate all the inde-
pendent systems in the United States
with the Bell-Morgan system. This
combination, if effective, would apply
to all toll service and particularly to
those sections of the country where
competition between present systems
is said to be ruinous.
The department of justice holds
that the project is likely to become
combination in restraint of trade and
it is probable that any steps taken
toward it's completion may be consid-
cred Illegal and action begun at once.
On the part of the promoters of the
it is likely that an injunc-
tion will be sought to prevent the in
reference of the government.

This is the caustlc way in which c.
L. Tisdale, of Alameda, refers to the
struggle opposite El Paso, Texas, in a
letter to a friend here. Tisdale on
the way to New Orleans, stopped at
Ell Paso to see the war.
"In Juarez," he wrote, "the tops Of
old churches built 122 years ago are
covered with troops in full uniform
and coffee and beans were served to
the brave warriors while stood in

INTERESTING
MEETING OF
BUSINESS MEN

The features of the meeting of the
Business Mems League last evening
were the taking of steps to discon-
tinue advertising on programs,
menu cards, hotel registers, calen-
dars and other similar things, and
the reading of paper by Henry w.
Meyers on the subject "Standardizing
Merchandising"
The first subject was informally
discussed by those present, and the
decision as above indicated was
taken, because it was felt that. that
kind of advertising gave no returns,
and that expenditures made in it
could be made better in other lines.
Mr.. Meyers address was very in
teresting, and was listened to with
attention. He maintained that the
buying public relative to the value
of goods in general was lacking in
knowledge, and that some means
should be taken to protect it from
unscrupulous dealers. He cited one
line of goods after the other where
imitation was possible by dealers,
and said that he hoped that the day
would come when congress would
pass a measure compelling merchants
to stamp all limitations, as well as
the real merchandise, so that the
buyers might have the assurance
when they bought an article that it
was one of merit, and of the value
represented.

Bills Killed.

AS was the case yesterday the COM
mittee reports sounded the knell of
several bills introduced by senator's.
Senator Beams bill relating to drain
age districts was killed and so was
Senator Kellahar's bill defining what
should constitute a hotel and pre-
scribing certain regulations in rela-
tion to them. Senator Sinnot's bill
defining the qualifications of supreme
court judges and Senator Joseph's bill
relative to procedure in courts during
the trial of cases were also given lots
in the senate burying ground.
Bills Passed.
Senator Merrymans bill providing
that the court shall fix the fees of ex-
pert witnesses and that they shall be
taxed to the losing party, was the
first to come up for third reading.
The maximum fee is $25 day and
considerable opposition developed
against the Dill with the result that 1t
was referred back to the committee
for amendment.
Two bills of Senator Calkins and
Bean--the one relating to the salary
of the commissioners of Lane county
and the other with relation to the dis
trict attorney of that county were
passed. So was Senator divers bill
which makes an appropriation for the
experiment station at Union.
The committee on commerce and
navigation reported the eight-hour
bill Of Senator Dim'Ck back to the
senate without recommendation.
Just before noon the senate re-
solved itself into a committee of the
whole to consider rules prepared for
1t by committee.
