Charging his Democratic colleagues
with handling the trusts with gloved

speech.
"When the Clayton bill was first writ

a mouth full of teeth. II has degenerat-
ed to tabby cat with soft gums,

Senator Reed insisted that the conferees
had so emasculated the bill as to re-
pudiate the Democratic platform and the
wishes of the president expressed in his
trust message to Congress.
"The president" he said asked for
laws applicable to trusts and corpora
tions and to the practices of trusts and
corporations. He asked relief for OPP

come the conferees with soft -gloved
hands and tender, delicate words, pro-
posing to cut the injured business man
off from the right to use decisions hereto
fore rendered against wrongful corpora

from the use of decisions in cases now
pending in the courts"

"ApriI Fool" Pranks.

The custom of playing a joke upon
ones neighbor upon the first of April
is of very ancient origin, dating so
far back in the past that we are un-
able to tell just when or with what
nation 1t had its birth.
Among the Hindus there is a feast
which is still observed, called the
Hull" which, continuing several
days, terminates on the 31st Of March.
One of the distinctive features of this
feast is that every one endeavors to
send his neighbor upon some errand
to some imaginary person, or to per-
sons whom he knows are not at home;
and then all enjoy a good laugh at the
disappointment of the messenger. The
of this custom by this
peculiar people seems to indicate that
It had very early origin among man
kind.
