sense that they may be inspected by
citizens In general. A paragraph In
Rule 6 defines the permissible inspec.
ton as follows.
Records shall be open to inspection
by any Judge or by any probation Of.
ficer pursuant to order Of court, but
shall not be public records, and their
contents shall not be divulged other.
wise than as above provided, except
by order Of the court.
The reason for the adoption of this
rule was said to be the desire Of the
judges to aid as far as possible In the
reform Of adult persons under parole.
In fact, the consensus Of opinion
among the judges was that the new
law providing for adult probation
made 1t obligatory on the judiciary
and the new probation Office to throw
a veil Of reasonable secrecy" over
the past careers of the adult proba.

Rules governing adult probation
were formulated and adopted at a
Joint meeting of Circuit and Municipal
Court in the assembly room OF the
Municipal Court.
The rules are nine in number. They
outline the duties of the chief pro-
baton officer and the other probation
officers, fixing their bonds at $4,000
and $1,000 respectively. The salaries
Of these officials have not been defin
itely fixed, but $4,000 year has been
mentioned as that of the chief and
800 a month for each OF the others.
The judges of the Circuit and Mu
nicipal courts will appoint the officers
and 1t Is expected that the first ap
pointments will include chief pro
baton officer and five probation OF
| fcers. Names OF applicants were
kept secret after the meeting, but Il
was admitted that there had been sev
eral. The name Of a newspaper mar
was said to have been under con
sideration In connection with the pos
| of chief probation officer.
One OF the rules prescribes that Tho

spiration of one of the rules, in which
appears the clause, Their associates
shall be reputable" This Is the first
rule, and It governs the probation Of
ticers.
The first paragraph In full reads:
The chief probation officer and
other probation officers shall be Of
good character, honest and courteous; /;
shall have good habits and shall have
established good regulations; their
associates shall be reputable, they
shall have fair education, shall be
able to do efficiently the. work turned
over to them and shall devote their
whole time to their duties as proba-
tion officers.
The foundation for complete sys-
TEN for the grouping and recording
of all facts relating to the Office and
the work carried on Is laid in the
rules.
All applications for release on pro-
baton must be in writing. The finan.
cial conditions of the applicant must
be set forth and the application must
also show the relationship, ages and
conditions OF those dependent on the
applicant for support. maintenance
and education.

officials Of the department Of Jus.
tice have been studying the decision
Of the Supreme court in the Standard
OIL case with a view to It's effect upon
the International Harvester and other
prosecutions which Attorney General
wickersham had in contemplation.
The proceeding will be civil and
not criminal in character. The gov.
ernment will endeavor to bring about
the company's dissolution in the same
way that It has succeeded in destroy.
ing the Standard Oil combination. It
is expected the suit will be filed in q
federal court in Chicago.
The decision to prosecute the Har.
vester trust Ii the result Of Q thor.
ough investigation which government
experts have been making for some
time. Herbert Knox Smith, commits.
sioner Of corporations, was instruc-
ted by the senate several years ago
to investigate this combination. His
work has been comprehensive and
thorough. He has had access to the
books Of the corporation, and it, ON.
cials have been extremely obliging.
The department has not used the data
obtained by Mr.. Smiths agents, but
has had it, own men In the neld.
The International Harvester com.
pany has strenuously denied that It
has any Of the evil features which
have predominated in such organiza.
tions as the Standard OIL. II claims
that in its policy It has been actuated
by sound business principles and that
It has done nothing which could be
construed as q violation Of the law.
The information It gave to the com.
missioner Of corporations, however,
will not be used in its prosecution.
The Information upon which the de.
partment Of Justice has considered &C.
tion has been secured independently
and the government consequently Il
relieved from any liability as to It'd
use or the manner In which It shall
be used.
Tho International Harvester com
pany Is one Of the great combinations
Of American capital. Not only does I,
operate in this country, but II ha,
plants in Canada, and It has q trs
mendous foreign trade. In its ram
iflcations It resembles the STANDARD

 The joyous ringing of Christmas bells and merry shouts of her younger sisters and brothers, when they dis covered their stockings the next morn. ing only served to emphasize her de. pression.
 Billy never loved me; if he really and truly did he never could treat me like this,'' she told herself as she stood looking with unseeing eyes at the snowy Christmas world.
 Just then a young man, fairly tear. ing around the corner, arrested her at. tention. II was no less a person than Billy himself who was coming, post haste, 10 see her

 In answer to her impatient sum- mons, she was quickly connected with Brown & Co.'S book store Have you sent out those books that were order- ed for Mir. William Dunning?" she ask ed anXiously.
 The answer evidently pleased her, for she breathed a sigh of relief. That's all right; Pm glad you haven't, for l have changed my mind about them. Please cancel the order"
 Marjorie hung up the receiver with an air of triumph. There, I'm glad thought of that! Billy would have construed Christmas present into an abject apology" she said, her indig. nation rising at the very thought of such a thing.
 But when she went back to her par. cels and picked up the little twig of holly she had intended tucking away into one of them. her face softened. q

 Because you vowed you wouldn't unless I apologized.' Marjorie explain. ed mischievously.
 You didn't think I'd be so narrow and unforgiving as to ignore your dear little peace offering? I brought one of the books with me to read something to you,'' he told her, and diving into his pocket he produced little copy of Romeo and Juliet
 Marjorie was surprised for second, then it flashed over her what it all meant. Brown & Go. had forgotten to cancel her order and Billy had re- ceived the books. Billy had construed her sending them into a humble plea for forgiveness.
 He most probably wouldn't have come at all if 1t hadn't been for that. She stiffened visibly and all her love was swallowed up in wave of rebel lious pride.
 You are mistaken" she commenced coldly, but Billy interrupted her. Here, I have found it,
 My bounty is as boundless as the
 sea, My love as deep. the more I give to
 thee
 The more have, for both are in- l. finite.' he was reading, and the simple beauty of the lines awoke something in Marjorie stronger than pride or re- sentiment and she only smiled when he added tenderly: My Christmas greet ing to you, dear"
