ver-laced Wyandottes' Eggs
Go Into Frying Pan.

West Orange. Aug. 2+-Fritz wiegart s
poultry farm over the second mountain
is noted for its prize stock. Fritz makes
specially of silver-laced wyandottes,
and breeders and others pay him SIS
for setting of eggs. Fritz keeps board
ers during the summer. Little five-year-
old Paul Boshen is one of them. The
farmer is fond of Lin and gives him the
privileges of the chicken yards. In fact
Paul is permitted to collect the eggs daily
and hand them over to the farmers wife
To-day Fritz is mourning. Last night
Pauls father and mother came to see him
for the weekend. This morning while
Mrs. Wiegart was preparing the coffee
she sent Paul to gather what eggs had
been laid since daybreak. The boy had
orders not TO go to the nests of the
silver-laced Wyandottes- But in this
case. finding no eggs in the regular
runs. he thought none was too good
for his parents, and so rified the prize
pen of six silver-lace eggs. All We're
cooked for breakfast. Paul ate one, the
father three, and the mother two Soon
after Fritz went down to his pen to get
a setting of twelve eggs for which a GUS
toner had paid him his regular SIS fee
He found no eggs in the nests.

Has that boy Paul got the wrong eggs?
Six eggs for breakfast at s1.25 apiece. Ny.

Talk about high cost of living. Dis is the
high cost of keeping
Fritz Is puzzled to know how he can
square accounts with his boarders, and
meanwhile Paul is not allowed to gather
any more eggs, either from the prize
pens or from the runs Of the common

STANLEY FLAYS
COL. ROOSEVELT
Says Former President Borrowed
Plan to "Legalize Monopolies"
from Archbold.
PROPAGANDA Of LAwLEssNEss"

Theodore Roosevelt borrowed his plan
OF ''legalizing monopolies'' from John d.
Archboid, of the Standard OH Company.
according to Representative A. o. Stan
ley of Kentucky, who made a bitter at
tack on the former President in the
course of a speech in the House yester-
Gay. Mr.. Stanley charged that the
Roosevelt -Gary-Perkins plan for the Gre
alton Of a commission providing govern
mental regulation of all the activities of
industrial corporations was nothing more
Tor less than a propaganda for the IL
censing of organized lawlessness'
The late revelations OF the relations
between Col. Roosevelt and the Standard
Oil Company should surprise nobody"
said Mr. Stanley. "A practical poll
tician' who knew how TO approach my
dear Hartman and how to receive Frick
and Gary in time of stress, would surely
not overlook SO rich a find as John d.
Archbold. who for years has made it his
business TO keep in touch with the Aid
riches. the Forakers, the Roosevelts, and
other faCile and approachable politicians
OF the same stripe.
The Worst of It,"
The worst part of IL is not that Mr..
Roosevelt shared the plunder of this law
less monopoly. The astounding and men
acing phase of the situation is not that
he once had access to the purse of the
Standard Oil Company. but that he is
now attempting. with an audacIty charac-
teristic of Roosevelt alone. to carry out
to the letter the pet policies of II. Fl.
Rogers and John d. Archbold"
Representative Stanley pointed out
that Seth Low, of New York. who ap-
peared before House committee in
support of the Hepburn bill on April e.
1903. told the committee that in the
framing of the measure Judge Gary,
Francis Lynde Stetson and Commission
er of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith
We're consulted.
1T developed in this investigation that
this so-called Hepburn bill was not
drawn by Mr.. Hepburn at ALL The
whole infamous thing was incubated in
Wall Street. The great danger to this
country from the ascendency Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the coterie of capi-
him is not attributed so much to the
fact that he is the recipient of dirty
money as that he is the proponent of
dangerous policies. Let an honest, fear
less and capable administration enforce
the more drastic and stringent provi-
sions of the Sherman law against corpo-
rations, and the penal provisions of that
act against the officers in control of
such corporation, and the Sherman act
can be rendered in a measure effective
in restraining, II not preventing. combi-
atoms in restraint of trade"

PacffyfnE Cyprus.

From the London Post.
The population at the time of the
British occupation of Cyprus was 1So,-

and the remainder Turks. The art of
keeping peace between these different
nationalities-of including the lion, If not

degree of diplomacy and integrity.
Witness the difficult position of a po-
lice official in Famugusta. who was

If they might have a procession the fol-
lowing Tuesday. why do you wish a
procession he asked. ITO commence
rate the ever-distressful taking of Con-
stantinople by the infidel Turks,n was
the mournful reply. Half an hour later
a Turkish deputation called upon the
same official Had they the permission
of his excellency to fire the cannons on
the following Tuesday? why do you
wish to fire the cannons?" he asked.
ITO celebrate the ever-glorious taking
of Constantinople by the true believ-
ers of the Prophet" they replied. After
some permission to tboth parties, on
their solemn assurance that there
would be no infringement of law and

heads were broken when the rival cele-
brations took place in due course.
1t will, / am sure. be learned with re-
gret that the political situation in Cy-
prus is at present somewhat strained.
The unrest that is spreading through
out Europe has reached the shores of
the island and taken root among a par

on every possible occasion. How far
the disaffection has spread it is impos-
