Replies to Beveridee.
Mr.. Beveridge, who has spoken to
you eloquently and effectively, says
that trusts and monopolies are the
richest ripest fruits of civilization.
He says in print that the beef mo.
nopoly, the steel monopoly, the
Standard Oil monopoly and all mo-
nopolies are the result of the com
bination OF genius and energy and of
great benefit to the people. "These
industrial organizations have stead

SHORT ON MEMORY.
Ampere's Great Mind Had No Room
For Merely Royal Affairs.
Special musi,

Ampere, the famous mathematician
and physicist, was one of the most alb
sent minded men that ever lived, ~
the following story from the Taeglit
Rundschau goes far to prove: M
In September, 1906, Ampere read
learned paper on his researches befO
the Academy of Sciences in PariR
When he had finished his lecture and
was about to take his seat he found, to
his surprise, that 1t was occupied.
Greatly agitated, ne went to GeOffrey
aint-Hilaire, the president of the
academy. and said, "Mr. President, /
must call your attention to the fact
that some one who is not member Of
this body has entered the chamber and
taken my seat"
The president replied calmly, "You
are mistaken, my learned brother; the
person whom you have in mind is, like
ourselves. fellow of the Academy of
Sciences"
How long, should like to ask?"
said Ampere.
"Since Nivose of the year W." said
the president, who was now entering
into the humor of the situation.
"And in what class?" inquired the
suspicious Ampere.
"In the class of mechanical engineer
ing, my friend" answered Saint
Hilaire, laughing.
"Well, that is oddp' cried Ampere,
and, selling calendar Of the academy,
he opened to the date Saint Hilaire had
mentioned and read: Napoleon Bona
parte, fellow of the Academy Of
Sciences. chosen In Nivose Of the year
W."
Much disturbed, Ampere made all
sorts OF apologies and explained that
ne had not recognized the emperor ON
account of his poor eyesight.
''You see what happens" said Ma
poleon, when you don't get round to
meet your fellow members. have
never seen you at the Tuileries. but
now ! shall command you to come and
see me. Tomorrow at o'clock you will
dine with me-"
The next evening the emperor wait
ed two hours for Ampere, but he had
long since forgotten the invitation.

Governor Eberhart yesterday took
up arms on behalf of the harvest

ifs in counties along the Great
Northern, Northern Pacifis, 500 and
other railroads, received letter from
the chief executive. calling their at
tention to the conditions.
During the past few months, y
says the letter, "there have been re-
ported to this office a number Of de-
predations and crimes committed by
lawless bands of sO-called hobOes
These bands are often armed and
have infested trains, broken open
cars, terrorized and murdered train
men and committed numerous burg
laries and hobberies in various COM
munities through which they have
passed.
"These bands of rowing men have
been preying upon the laborers COM
ing from and going into the harvest
fields to work, and have robbed them
of their earnings.
In view of these conditions it is
necessary for you to take extraordin-
airy measures to protect the communi-
ties by disarming or imprisoning
these men,
In case the county has not suffi-
cient Jail accommodations it is essen
tial that these bands be at least dis
armed so as to as far as possible pre-
vent further depredations. Please
