No negotiations whatever have

looking to the dissolution or disinte-
grafton OF the corporation The cor

reasons and purchased fits plants to
promote such business, and not to re-
strain trade or obtain monopoloy.
In all its operations. the company has
scrupulously observed the law and
recognized the joint rights of its COM
petitors and the consumer OF its pro-
ducts. So far as its directors are
aware, no complaint has ever been
made against IL by either OF these in
terests. The directors are advised by
its counsel that it's existence is not i'm
violation of the Sherman act,as inter
preted in the recent decision of the
supreme court.
In view OF this record and this ad-
vice. the directors feel that their duty
to their stockholders. their employees
and the public requires that they
should set at rest all rumors TO the
effect that they are contemplating any
voluntary dissolution or disintegration
of the corporation. or have any belief
that II Is subject TO such dissolution or
disintegration by legal .ction. We
believe that the organization is legal
and its management is proper. Its
are OF immense intrinsic
value aud the corporation is OF bene-
fit TO the public interest.

TELLS OF EVENTS 87O B. C.
Ancient Hebrew Chronicles Have
Been Found in Palestine by Prof.
George A. Resner.

New York-After spending the last
six yGars excavating among the an
cient ruins in Egypt and Palestine,
Prof. George A. Reisner, assistant
professor of Egyptology at Harvard
university, has returned to America
with his wife and little daughter.
Professor Reisner was assisted in
his work by c. S. Bishop, an architect,
and Prof. o. Bates, an archaeologist.
His return to New York marks the
close of IA years work in Egypt.
Last year Professor Reisner car
ried on extensive excavations among
the pyramids and was rewarded by
the discovery Of nine almost perfect
examples of statuary of the fourth
dynasty. They were portrait statues
Of King Mycernios, in whose reign
the third pyramid of Ghiza was built.
these statues are Of alabaster and
black slate" said Professor Reisner.
"They are splendid examples Of por-
trait statuary and more perfect, I
should say, than great number OF
modern attempts along these lines.
OuI VI Cu01u are dC present. Al LAo
Boston museum and the remaining
five are in the museum at Cairo"
Probably the most important dis
coveries made by Professor Reisner
and his party, according to his valua-
ton, are those of ancient Hebrew
writings, contemporaneous with the
era of Ahab, about, $40 B. c., which
contain references found in the Bible.
These were discovered in excavations
made late in 1910 at Samaria in Pal
estine, which was the capital of the
northern kingdom of Israel.

TO EXPLORE POLAR REGIONS
Rudolph Francke Plans Expedition to
Push Into Arctic to Study
Mysteries of Sea.

New York-An exploring expedi-
ton to the polar regions, the first
since the return of Peary and Cook
will leave this summer under Rudolph
Francke who has accompanied nearly
a dozen previous expeditions in vari-
Gus capacities. Francke is now in
this city purchasing part of his outfit
and making various arrangements.
He proposes to lead party of sew
eral scientists and Eskimos from
Etah across Elsmereland, then to
Bradley Land, and if conditions are
favorable, to push over the ice north
ward The first stages of the jour
ney will be made in the auxiliary
schooner Polar Star, which is being
built at Delfseil in Holland.
The vessel is to cost $4,000, is Of
wood and has steel frames of eXtraor-
binary strength. The keel was laid
last August and by June next should
be ready to start on it's adventurous
journey.
The expedition is to start from
Hamburg Francke's primary purpose
is to study the currents and other
mysteries of the Polar sea.

Deserved to Escape.

A remarkably resourcefuI and tough
old seaman is Captain Page, who was
recently wrecked off the coast of Sgd
ney, Australia. The captain, who is
seventy years of age tried to run
round by himself to Sydney in his own
little craft from Manly. An unpleas-
ant, choppy sea was experienced,
however, and the rudder broke away.
The launch drifted helplessly for some
distance and then struck a hidden
rock. With remarkable pluck for a
man of his years, Captain Page Sc
cured the launch's painter and sprang
overheard, and swimming bravely,
towed his launch to a rocky island
some sixty yards away, from which he
was picked up many hours afterwards,
none the worse for his adventure.

PUT FALSE RIBS ON HORSE
steed Used to Play Role of Rosinante
Takes on Altogether Too Much
Adipose Tissue.

Paris.-The managers of the Gayety
theater have found themselves in a
dilemma by the persistency with
which a horse continues to put on
flesh. The horse at one time was a
candidate for the ak, but fate was
kind. The managers of the Gayety
were about to stage Massenet's new
opera Don Quixote" and they cast
about for horse that could play the
role Of Rosinante, the hero's charger.
Paris was ransacked for an ami
NAL lean and miserable looking
enough, and finally they found a
worn out and decrepit steed. He
duly made his first appearance in
the part and was a great success.
But the actresses of the Gayety,
letting their pity get the better Of
their discretion, offered the horse
food, which he greedily devoured in
such quantities and to such good
purpose that, to the CONSERVATION OF
the managers, he gradually grew
fatter and fatter until he became
altogether too sleek and robust for
their purpose.
They we're in despair, being loath
to discard the animal, for he was a
good actor. Finally they mastered
the difficulty by painting false ribs
on the animals hide to give him the
necessary appearance of sorrowful
emaciation.

Peculiar LANGUAGE Discovered.

Portland, Ore.-Prof. Lee Frachten-
burg of the Smithsonian institution at
Washington, who has just completed a
study Of the Alsea tribe of Indians in
Lincoln county and the UmpQuas in
Curry county, says the Alseas have a
language distinct from all other of the
81 basic tongues of the American Indi-
ans He says it is one of the II known
languages using the gender in the verb
that is, the same action by a man
and a female is designated by differ
ent term. This popularity is shared
by certain inhabitants of northern
Asia, those Of a small section Of south
ern Asia and by the Kaf1rs of South

THE TEST
By Minnie Nelson Kinds

The snow was melting as it fell, but
it fell with persistence, and so heav-
lily that, despite it's two big windows,
the reception room Of DR.. Staffords
office was gloomy to the point Of
darkness.
When a doctor is skilled, honest
and moderate in his charges, even
though he is plain spoken to blunt
ness, he is likely to be popular.
Ordinarily his reception room WAS
crowded between the afternoon hours
Of two and four, but today only five
persons awaited him--a fretful young
matron without ailment, but pos
Bessed of a hobby for being under a
physicians care-a corpulent woman
with an ailing throat-an old man
with cough, big drummer with an
impatient air, and a boy of fifteen
with a bandaged wrist.
"Is the doctor late again today, La
vinia?" The fretful lady directed cap
tiously toward the maid, middle
aged negress of a lean and yellow
cast Of countenance, and sardonic
style of temperament.
"He amt 'phoned he's late" La
vinia answered in an injured tone as
light footsteps were heard on the
landing, on which both the reception
room and the inner office behind it
opened. 81 reckon that's him now"
In another moment Stafford, a tall
and fair young fellow, with keen blue
eyes behind glasses and an unexpect-
ed dimple in his square chin, opened
the door between the two rooms for
the lady of the hobby, whose turn
was first. When the old gentleman
with the cough followed her, the i'm
patient travelling man decided he
could better facilitate his business by
being at it, and went out.
On the stairs he met two women,
the one elderly and stopped with
dark circles under her eyes, the other,
tenderly supporting her, was what
the big man called vision" that
made him half wish he had staid for
his turn in the Office
Flora Dunham's cheeks glowed
above her black furs, her red dress
