TRUSTS ARE FOR 7. R.
Their Directors Contribute to His
Campaign Fund.
Harvester Trust Perkins and Steel
Trust munsey Give Him
Half of Total Amount
Contributed.

Roosevelt's cry of stop thief" has
not succeeded in diverting public at
tention from the liberal support which
he is receiving from the big trusts.
Among the significant contributions to
the third party campaign funds the
past week were those of George w.
Perkins, a director OF the Harvester
Trust, and Frank A. Munsey, of the
Steel Trust, for $4,000 each. Perkins
says that more will be forthcoming
when needed. He cannot be charged
with ingratitude.
The Harvester Trust was organized
during Roosevelt's administration with
a paper capitalization of one hundred
and thirty million dollars. The tangi-
Bile assets upon which this vast
amount of watered stock was issued
amounted at the time to only thirty
millions of dollars. Ex-senator Hans
brough of North Dakota declares that
a word from Roosevelt, who was then
president, would have prevented the
formation of this great combine. But
the word was not spoken The deal
went through and the farmers who buy
Harvester Trust implements have been
helping to pay the dividends on this
extra one hundred millions of watered
stock ever since. Later in the Roose-
welt administration the department of
Justice on its own initiative, was
about to begin prosecution against this
trust for violation of the Sherman
law. But Mr.. Perkins appealed to his
friend, President Roosevelt, and by
the presidents personal order the pro
ceedings were stopped. Mr.. Perkins
has not been a power in the White
House during the present administra-
tion and by direction of President Taft
SUIT is now pending to dissolve the
Harvester Trust. Is 1t any wonder
that Mr. Perkins contributes literally
to the third term campaign fund.
And Is 1t any wonder that Mr.. Frank
A. Munsey is equally liberal. when it
is remembered that he is a heavy
stockholder in the Steel Trust, whose

A. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Hsesident Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People

From 1882 to 1892 the ordinary, ex-
'penses Of the federal government in
creased at the rate OF about per cent
year. In the succeeding decezlniaI
period they increased about 4 per
cent a year Under the presidency of
Mr.. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost s per cent. Mr.. Taft has
not only stopped this annual increase,
which had SO long seemed inevitable,
but has actually brought about; de-
crease. Under Mr. Roosevelt the OF
binary annual expenses of the gov
ernment grew from about $471, 0O0, 900
to- 1862 100000. an increase of $751;
100000 in seven years. Mr.. Taft has,
reduced them from $662, COO. 900 to,

ChiIdren's Books In OIden Times.

The earliest books for children
were schoolbooks pure and simple.
The titles of some of them suggest
entertainment and refreshment, but
the arid pages belle the promise.
For instance, an old Latin gram
mar, published in 1870, had for sub
title, GA delysious Syrupe newly
CLARIFIED for Yonge Scholars vt
thurste for the Swete Lycore Of
Latin Specie" but the "Lycore" is
very turgid, confused flow of ped
antry. A different style is suggest
ed by the name of another school
book written by one Elisha Coles in
1875, "Nolens Volens, OF you shall
learn Latin whether you will or no, :"
title which suggests vigorous ap-
plication of the birch.

How an orana outana Travels.

It is a most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make its
way through the jungle. It walks
slowly along the larger branches in
a semierect attitude, this being ap-
parently caused by the length of its
arms and the shortness of it's legs.
It invariably selects those branches
which intermingle with those of a
neighboring tree, on approaching
which it stretches out its long arm
and, grasping the boughs opposite,
seems first to shake them as if to
test their strength and then delib-
erately swings itself across to the
next branch, which it walks along,
as before. It does not Jump or
spring, as monkeys usually do, and
never appears to hurry itself, unless
some real danger presents. Yet, in
spite of its apparently slow move
ments, it gets along far quicker
than a person running through the
forest beneath.

Sacred Keys.

Every PERSONS feelings have
front door and side door by which
they may be entered. The front
door is on the street. Some keep it
always open, some keep it latched,
some locked, some bolted with
chain that will let you peep in, but
not get in, and some nail it up, so
that nothing can pass its threshold.
This front door leads into passage
which opens into an anteroom, and
this into the interior apartments.
The side door opens at once into
the secret chamber. There is al
most always one key to the side
door. This is carried for years hid
den in mothers bosom. Fathers,
brothers, sisters and friends often,
but by no means so universally,
have duplicates of it. The wedding
ring conveys a right to one. Alas,
if none is given with it! Be very
careful to whom you trust one of
these keys of the side door.-O. W.
Holmes.

Structure of Fur.

Fur is a threadlike fiber which
grows out of the pores of the skins
of animals. It grows in length from
the root and not from the top, as
with vegetable productions. The
lower portion merely lengthens out,
and the top projects forward, con-
sequently if once cut it will always
remain blunt. It is tubular and
filled with oil, which gives to the
fiber it's color. In addition to the oil
it contains mineral matter, among
which are sulphur and iron. A
close examination Of the fiber will,
to a certain extent, show the Sec
ton of the country the animal in
habits. The short and crisp, with
an oval or angular cross section, in
dicates tropical growth; the long
and soft, with circular cross section,
a northern climate. The fibers from
different parts of the same animal
have a different structure and val
ue, that which is taken from the
back of a land animal being the fin
est, while the reverse is true of the
animal which confines itself mostly
to water, the under side being much
finer than the back.

doorway as an advertisement. He
had never seen turtle before, and
he prodded the strange creature
curiously. Suddenly he popped his
finger into his mouth with howl
of pain. After the finger had stop
ped bleeding he gazed at it ruefully,
then eyed the turtle apprehensively.

SAVED BY COURAGE.
An Exciting Adventure With Grim
Maori Chieftain.

W aori Nnlertain.
Mr.. Becke, the author of ssNotes
From Ny South Sea Log" tells OF
his tutor, who seemed to him the
most heroic man in the world be-
cause he had been through the first
Maori war and because Of an adj
venture which there befell him and
which is given as follows:
Poor Guy-such was the tutors
name-was lieutenant, and he and
two companies were captured by
the Maoris. They were taken in
side the stockade, and the chief,
taking up one of the captured sea-
mems cutlasses, felt its edge and
then fixed his keen eyes ON the
young officers face.
81 shall not harm these two men
Of yours" he said slowly. "They
shall 60 safely back to your lines
if''- He paused, and a grim smile
distorted his tattooed face.
eff what ?" asked Guy calmly.
eff you will stretch out your
right hand so that I may cut it off
at the wrist swiftly no further harm
shall come to you, and you, too,
shall 60 Free"
"Will you keep your word ?"
"Aye. I, TIE Atua Vera, am no
liar"
Guy nodded, quietly took off his
coat and held out his left hand.
"Strike," he said.
The chief again smiled. "Thou
art as cunning as thou art brave. I
said the right hand"
Guy let fall his left and extended
his right arm. TIE Atua Vera step
ped back pace, raised the cutlass
and struck the point Of it into
the ground. Then he bent forward
and gravely rubbed noses with Guy.
&C.," he said, ''but come back no
more" So Guy and the two sailors
were allowed to return to Despard's
lines unframed.

"Bulls" Not Irish.

Those who are not Irishmen
sometimes trespass on Irish prop
erty. A French cure, preaching
about sudden death, said, S'Thus it
is with us-we go to bed well and
get up stone dead!"
An old French lawyer writing of
an estate he had just bought added,
"There is chapel upon it in which
my wife and I wish to be buried, if
God spares our lives"
A merchant who died suddenly
left in his bureau a letter to one of
his correspondents which he had
not sealed. His clerk, seeing it
necessary to send the letter, wrote
at the bottom, 'sSince writing the
above I have died."

Average Amount Of Sleep.

Usually the amount Of sleep is in
inverse ratio to the strength and de-
velopment of consciousness. Thus
children need more sleep than
adults. Some men need very little
rest, and the same may be said of
women. However, eight hours is the
average amount required by the
human body to restore its vitality
by complete rest. If less is taken
ones health is apt to- be impaired.
A good nights sleep will do more
toward building up general health
than all the tonics known.-Boston
Traveller.
