Again we took taxi to the hotel

Bones, II neglected to mention that

The congressman did not answer.
Whether II was the sight of the
Eve Lamb and the Suitcase. which
he had expected never to see again,
or whether II was because he was
asked to give up real money, ] do
not know. He did not answer. The
shock had been too great.

smiling and bowling. his face alight

II was plain he believed himself

During the journey to the office
the detective maintained a sphinx

which was broken only by the plain

To HOLD TRUST

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.
An innovation in trust inquiries

Colt, Putnam and Brown in
Massachusetts in their ruling
that the investigation Of tho
Shoe Machinery Trust shall be
secret; even newspapers are to
be kept out.
Testimony IL TO be taken by .
commissioner privately and private
~ presented to the court One OF
these judges states as his reason for
this remarkable course, There has
been too much OF this kind Of pub
iicity about trusts already"
Decent public men are frankly
shocked By this usnrpation OF pow
er By the courts. There Is no more
reason why the trial OF the Shoe
Machinery trust should be secret
than there was for secrecy in tho
proceedings against Standard OIL
and the Tobacco trust The Shoe
Machinery trust is recognized az
one OF the most dangerously con-
trived OF all the great business mo-
nopoiles. IL leyies tar on the
footwear of every man. woman and
child in the country. and makes use
OF the patent laws OF the United
States to uphold monopoly.

protests Of the department OF jus
tice in shielding this great institn-
tion from the publicity OF ordinary
court procedure. there VIII be con
sequences OF vigorous kind in CON

Dem. Ml.. Editor,

Dear mr. Editor,
In the course of your long life YOU
,uus+ no doubt. have come across strange
occurrences which may have caused you to
wonder a bit until you investigated the
cause.
Your article of this week which appeared
in Tho BuIletin on rat catching | looked upon
as a direct reply to my erquiry from you,
though / sent YOU neither letter nor verbal
,nesseoe. It was a case of telepathy out
and out. I will explain. just a day before
vour letter appeared l had been thinking
over school days, and it came to my mind
thnt 7 had once read u description OF rat
catching in England o. Franco think the
latter country-where the rat catcher was
generally such an expert that he would
sometimes even grab the rodent with his
mouth-d la pussy cat.
wasn't sure about this method, as l know
that my imagination is very tricky, SO L
dropped you o line asking you to obl1ge me
with an early description III the "Bulletln OF
rat catching as you may have seen, heard,
OF read OF 1t.
Next day the Bulletin appeared, and there
was the article. I remarked how prompt
YOU we're in replying, When, about five NM
rntes after, l found that the letter had not
been sent.
Well this shook me q bit :, |was strange,
nassing strange, that at least two persons
should have been thinking about the same
snbiect at the same tine, having no preyl-
Gus communication in connection with same.
The foregoing has seemed so remarkable
to me that | thought l would drop you a
line about it, which l trust las not been I'M
interesting.

Chinese Butterfly Game.

In an open space in the garden poles
like our Maypoles are set up in cir
Gle. These are hung with tiny wind
bells. which give forth sweet tin
king when they are stirred by the
breeze. and with a variety of flags of
different colors. In the center of the
circle the game of butterflies is played.
Chinese girls and women with their
shining black hair freshly dressed and
wearing festive garments rich with
embroidery arm themselves with fans
and enter the charmed circle. Several
butterflies that have been previously
caught and prepared for the game are
flying lazily about. To each one is
attached a long, strong, black hair,
which is weighted with a scrap of
paper just heavy enough to prevent
the butterfly from soaring out of
reach. The players. shrieking with
laughter. rush madly about in their
efforts to catch the little creatures
with open fans.
