Why is sleep? Now, please, don't
answer this question right off the bat,
SO to say, by remarking that it is an
instinct or a necessity or anything
like that. For Drs. Legendre and
Piedron of London, in experiments on
dogs have discovered that sleep is due
to a toxic substance in the blood de-
veloped by long periods of wakeful-
ness. There you have it, you see
the longer you stay awake the surer
you will be to sleep. And you may
know Of some persons who have ar
rears of sleep due and uncollectable
for various reasons, and others who
have long overdrawn their accounts.
All of which goes to show that sleep
is rather an unevenly distributed
thing and-O, we'll, what of it?

IDLINe IN SCHOOL.

High school students in Boston AND
elsewhere are greeting the spring by
striking against two school seasons.
1t cuts up the day better to devote the
forenoon to school and the afternoon
to elegant leisure. Much may be said
for short sessions for young children.
But the trouble with most students In
high school and the higher grammer
enough Misread tradition is partly
to blame, says the New York World.
The old district school had a long
summer vacation SO that the boys
could work on the farm. A whole
holiday on Saturday and easy school
work gave time to "do chores" The
city high school student has no
chores. Much of the time he saves
from study is not even devoted 10
athletics. Why should high schooi
student have whole holiday Satur-
day any more than an office boy!
Why should he have two months, va
cation in summer when the average
worker gets two weeks? Why should
a high school girl have one session
day any more than stenographer!
1t is part of the lavish waste or
American life that it wastes the time

teacher knows that the children OF

ROTHSCHlLDS BACK OF
WATERS-PIERCE OIL CO.
Big Company Is Now Being Reorsan'
lied With a Capital Of
$1O,oo0,o00.

st. Louis, June 24.-The Standard
Oil company will have rival in a
short time, it is believed. The Waters
Pierce Oil company is being reorgan-
lied, it's capital being increased from
100000 to $10,000,000. The European
banking family of Rothschilds is under
stood to have invested heavily in the
reorganization.
Henry Clay Pierce of st. Louis,
chairman of the board Of directors OF
the old Waters Pierce company, will
retain controlling interest in the re-
organized company. The Rothschilds
are heavily interested in an English
corporation which is a strong rival OF
the Standard in England.
1t is said that when H. Clay Pierce
last winter bought from the Standard
Oil interest their stock in the Waters
Pierce company, the funds were fur
nished by the London house of. the
Rothschilds. About that time Pierce
had ordered a complete set of the in
voices of his company made In st.
Louis and sent to him in New York
before he started for London.
He is said to have laid this informa-
ton before London and German bank
ers to induce them to put up money
for the refnancing of the company.
1t is intimated that the property of the
-Fordyce Oil association will be
taken over by the reorganized Waters
Pierce company, which is to have
new name.

Sixty or more years ago the wild
pigeons were here by the millions.
They fairly covered the skies when
they flew over in fiocks. They sold
in those days at five cents dozen,
and they were the best eating in the
world; far superior to the tame pig
cons we have now. Suddenly they
disappeared, and In year or two not
a pigeon was to be seen anywhere.
They seemed to have been driven
away by cruel treatment. They re-
sented their bloody slaughter. There
has been a strong desire to get them
back. 1t was reported that pair
had been seen near Ansonia, Pa, and
reward of $4,000 was offered to
anyone who would secure the pair
alive, says the Ohio State Journal.
Thousands of people spent last Sun
day securing the woods in that vicin-
ity, but no one succeeded in finding
the pair. They are an extinct species,
not eXterminated by the evolution of
Nature, but by the devilution of man.
But what change from five cents a
dozen to $4,000 pair and none to be
had at that

WILSON SIGNS
SUNDRY BILL
President O. KS Appropriation
Act Under Protest.
EXECUTIVE GIVES REASON
Declares That Antitrust Law Exemp-
ton Clause Is "Unjustifiable"-
Urgent Necessity Pre-
vents Veto.

Washington, June 25.-President
Wilson signed the sundry civil appro-
priation bill Monday, with a statement
declaring that he would have vetoed,
If he could, the provision in it exempt
ing labor unions and farmers organi-
cations from prosecution under GER
tain 100000 fund designated for the
operation of the Sherman antitrust
law. In signing the bill the president
issued the following statement:
Il have signed this bill because l
can do so without in fact limiting the
opportunity or the power Of the de-
partment of justice to prosecute viola
tons of the law by whomsoever COM
mitted.
'Tf ] could have separated from the
rest Of the bill the item which author
lied the expenditure by the depart
ment of justice of a special sum OF
100000 for the prosecution of VIOLA
tons of the antitrust law, I would
have vetoed that item, because it
places upon the expenditure limita-
ton which Is in my opinion unjusti-
fable in character and principle. But
] could not separate 1t. I do not un-
derstand that the limitation was In
tended as either an amendment or an
Interpretation of the antitrust law,
but merely as an expression OF the
opinion OF the congress- very en-
phatic opinion backed by an over
whelming majority of the house or
representatives and a large majority
of the senate, but not intended to
touch anything but the expenditure OF
a single small additional fund.
81 can assure the country that this
item will neither limit nor in any way
embarrass the actions of the depart
ment of justice. Other appropriations
supply the department with abundant
funds to enforce the law. The law will
be interpreted in the determination OF
what the department. should do. by in
dependent and l hope impartial judg-
ments as to the true and just meaning
of substantiative statutes of the

Washington, June 25.-President
Wilson has requested Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds to make a full report
to him on the causes that moved him
to direct postponements of the Diggs-
Caminetti white slave cases and the
trial of two directors of the Western
Fuel company, the basis of the resig-
nation of United States Attorney Nc
Nab of San Francisco and his charges
against the head of the department OF
justice.
One of Mondays developments was
the receipt by the president of tele-
gram from Clayton Harrington, special
agent of the department of justice in
charge of the federal bureau of investi-
cation at San Francisco, demanding
the removal from office of Attorney
General McReynolds.
Representatives Kahn, Republican,
of California, and Hinebraugh, Progress
sive, of Illinois, introduced resolutions
in the house, one calling for official
papers in the case, and the other for
an investigation by the judiciary COM
