The venerable rector of ST. Luke's
has a sanity and apostolic appear
ance. He also has decided opinions
OF his own on most matters and is not
averse to expressing them. Recently.
unknown to him, the vestry decided
to have the next supply of coal for the
church put in a different cellar from
the one commonly used When the
coal was delivered the rector, seeing
the drayman making what he thought
was a mistake in its disposal, inter-
posed and in no uncertain terms babe
the darby place the coal in the cellar
always used for that purpose.
The senior warden several DAYS
later was much annoyed to discover
that his orders had been disregarded
and that the coal was in the same old
cellar With wrath in his eye he CON-
planned to the coal dealer. The lat
ter declared that he had carefully ex-
planned to the drayman where to put
the coal, so to settle the matter the
darkey was called up.

that coal for St Luke's in the cellar

painful nervous headaches, from child
hood.
Seven years ago my health gave

the exertion of walking, If only few
feet, made it necessary for me to lie
down. My friends thought l was
marked for consumption-weak thin
and pale.
Il realized the danger / was in and
tried faithfully to get relief from med
icines, till, at last, after having en-
ployed all kinds of drugs, the doctor
acknowledged that he did not believe
it was in his power to cure me.

hope that it would do me any good. I

W. L. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks cov.r,,.
should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
DID conditions. We must meet world
Dhpetition. Large concerns can pro-
auce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
lions. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
The great organizations and make
them smaller. which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing large and legiti-
mate business. such as would be DOS
siDle under the licensing plan which
favor, writes W. l.. Douglas. former
governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
PreJudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps.
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consm-
err They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all. but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law it is
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
In this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public ac-
countant. There should be a board
OF examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tonal banks are Watched by the ma
tional government They should have
the right to enter the Offices and ex.
anime the records of all the direc-
torates of these companies.

A train in Arizona was boarded by
robbers. who went through the peck
cts OF the luckless passengers. One
of them happened to be a travelling
salesman from New York, who, when
his turn came, flashed out $500, but
rapidly took s4 from the pile and
placed it in his vest pocket.
What do you mean by that?" asked
the robber, as he toyed with his re.

been under civilized rule, but in re-
cent times no more interesting char
acter has appeared than Tsi An, who
has been called Bismarck in pet
ticoats." For many years before Isl
An died in 1908, she was virtual ruler
of China.
Pu-Yi would not be emperor of
China II he had not been chosen by
Isl An. This woman is an example
OF the possibilities in the political
system in that land. When Hien Feng
assembled the throne in 1851 Isl An
was one of his concubines of the fifth
class. The real empress had no son,
and when Isl An gave birth to a son
in 1856 she was raised to the rank
of empress. Hen Feng died in 1861.
Isl An practically ruled until her
death, although there had been NOM
inal emperors-Tung Chi and Kwang
Su. The last named died almost at
the same time as Isl An. He was
childless and Tsi An is said to have
chosen his infant nephew. Pu-Yi, as
his successor. Prince Chun, father of
the baby, was appointed regent.
Prince Chun is twenty-five years old,
and has exercised much influence at
court since he was sent on a mission
to Germany in 1901.
When Pu-Yi was proclaimed en-
peror he was declared the adopted
son Of the emperor, Tung Chi. in or
der to maintain an imperial tradition
that had been violated by Isl An
when the late emperor came to the
throne.
