The fate of the old companies doing
business under the wing of the trust,
the petition states, will be as follows:
The Conley Tin Foil Company will
be divided into two companies, hav
ing no interest whatsoever the one in
the other, and neither in a dominant
position in respect TO the tin foil bust
ness.
The licorice business now done and
controlled by McAndrews e Forbes
Company will be divided into two in
dependent companies.
The American Stogie Company will
be dissolved and it's business disinte-
grated
The American Cigar Company will
be disintegrated and it will have no
dominant position in any branch of
the cigar business.
The business of the American Snuff
Company will be divided among three
companies, each independent of the
other.
AS for domination of the new con-
Germs by the American Tobacco Com
pany the petition says that, under the
plan, the trust will have surrendered
all interests in and control over the
tin foil, licorice and snuff industries;
will have severed all relations with
the r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
the Porto Rican American Tobacco
Company, the British-American To-
bacco Company, limited, and the I'm
perial Tobacco Company, limited, and
the United Cigar Stores Company.
All covenants with the British con-

all agreements not to engage in the
tobacco business, made by the other
vendors and others here, will be ter
minated, leaving them free to engage
in competition.

The Origin of Head-hunting.

r rom darperS.
was told later that Dyak is quite mad
for days after taking head. I realized
the infinite tact and wisdom with which
the two white Rajahs of Sarawak-Sir
James and Sir Charles Brooke-haye
striven to abolish the practice Of head
hunting, the greatest passion of the Dyak,
having its roots in his courtship and in
his idea of immortality and filial affec-
tion
A Dyak legend tells that the daughter
of their great ancestor, who resides in
heaven near the evening star, refused to
marry until her betrothed brought her a
gift worthy her acceptance. The man
went into. the jungle and killed a deer,
which he presented to her, but the fair
lady turned away in disdain. He went
away and returned with mias (orangu-
forests, but this present was not more to
her taste Then in fit of despair the
lover went abroad and killed the first man
he met, and, throwing the victims head
at her feet, exclaimed at the cruelty she
had made him guilty OF, but to his sur
prise she smiled, and said that now he
had discovered the only gift worthy of
herself" And to this day a Dyak girl
will often refuse to marry a man who
has not taken at least one head. Still
more binding upon the Dyak is the ohliga-
ton to furnish fresh head to attend the
spirit of any dead member of his family.
The feathers of the hornbill-the insignia
Of war-have come to be worn only by
one who has taken a head. and the large
circle. of mother of-pearl which holds in
place the feather war-coat Is emblematic
of Immortality, since it is of this material
that the spirit must construct the boat
that is to take it into the next world.
