invariably to be put in the opposite corner-so
loyal was she to her lame duck
The two good women watched the experiment
with equanimity-it would help June not to be
selfish Old Jolyon with innate sagacity,
waited for its inevitable end; he had no belief
in lame ducks"
The end came stealthily with every ounce Of
weight that Susie BetterS put on from the din
nerS and teas she ate, and every deepening of
the contempt which familiarity slowly bred in
her.
She had ceased to exude water, her cheeks
were becoming pink and she wore sky-blue
ribbon in hair no longer unwashed.
In fact she had come to be twice the child"
and she no longer excited June's compassion.
The habit of protection, however, lasted till the
middle of November It vanished in one day.
Susie had a doll, given her by June, which,
following the law Of ompensation-advocated
by the then fashionable philosopher, Mr.. En-
erson-she treated in the manner in which she
herself was treated, possessing its soul, placing
its body in corners, and haraSSing it over her
knee for its own good
With the increase of adipOSe her treatment
of the doll became more and more protective,
if not arbitrary. It was not long before this
treatment excited June's concern, and the doll
began to seem to her lame duck"
ONE Saturday morning when the doll had
been whipped and put first in one corner
and then in another, her feelings became too
much for her.
You oughtn't to treat poor Amy like that,
Susie; it's Shame!"
Susie answered.:
why not? She's my dolll"
well, you shant!" said June. $50 there!"
Il WILL said Susie and promptly turned up
the dolls petticoatS.
Junes eyes grew very blue, her hair seemed
to shine
IF you whip her." she said, "Ill whip YOU"
Susie laid the doll over her knee.
"Stop!" said June.
Il WON'T" said Susie.
June rushed her. The doll fell to the floor
and the two children struggled.
Susie had SO far profited by six weeks Of
good feeding that she was the stronger, but
she had not Junes spirit. The combat short
and sharp, ended with June sitting on her
chest.
Susie sobbed wriggled and scratched. June
sat tighter.
Promise not to whip her any more"
"Shan't!"
Then I shall sit here till you do"

Attorney General Mitchell today made
known that Perry w. Howard, colored,

Attorney General Mitchell said he

Hoover's statement recently that
patronage disclosure in Mississippi

'S24,OOO,O()O ACTION
FILED BY HASKELL
Suit on Aluminium Trust
Charge Begun in Capital
Against Duke Estate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A suit for $4,000, 900 damages was
brought to the Supreme Court yester-
day by George u. Haskell of Massa-
chuSetts against the estate of James B.
Duke. after his proceedings had failed
in lower court.
e. Haskell contends the damage resulted
from a broken agreement between him
self and the Duke interests over a
Canadian power project. He alleges a
conspiracy between the Duke interests
and the Aluminium Co. of America re-
lating to the project.
Secretary Mellon as a stockholder in
the Aluminium Co. gave a deposition in
this case last July. That deposition
showing a trip to Canada by Mr.. Mellon
in his interest as a stakeholder and in
connection with project now in htiga-
ton, was placed before the Senate
judiciary committee during its recent
consideration of Mr.. Melons right to
hold office.
Senator walsh, Democrat, Montana,
introduced the Mellon deposition TO the
committee as evidence that he had
shown an interest in carrying on trade
or commerce in violation of the law.
The Federal District Court for New
Jersey gave Haskell Judgment for S.
600 600, but refused to grant him the
amount asked. This judgment was set
aside by the Circuit Court of Appeals,
which ordered the proceedings dis
missed.
Haskell in asking the Supreme Court
to pass on the controversy asserted the
Aluminium Co. of America and Duke
conspired to monopoliZe the aluminium
business and that Duke refused to
carry out an agreement. which Haskell
claimed he had with him, to engage in
the manufacture of aluminium for sale
in competition with the Aluminium Co.
of America.
The Circuit Court of Appeals held
that there was no evidence to warrant
the finding that there had been an
agreement between Haskell and Duke
and that Haskell had, therefore, failed
to establish a conspiracy against him.

Larry wrote few minutes in si- lence and then passed the sheet over Tor inspection. This was what Jack saw:
 Jack looked up aftera few minutes. "I can understand this. It is simple to keep. Almost better than some of those diaries"
 ''The supply account can be kept the same way" said Larry. "Of course,. 1t will be dollars instead of hours. This time must be converted into dollars at the end of each month. Then all of the amounts under each class of work are collated together and that gives you the total cost of that class of work per foot. We can dosthe same thing after we start mining ore, with the exception that thenunit will he tons instead of feet. advanced"
 Jack began toslaugh: 'sYou will get a goshawfuE cost; this month if you add in that compressor bill"

didn't pay much attention. l wasn't interested. I thought that keeping costs was something for the book keeper. The shifter always growls about the dope the office wants him to get. l never thought that it would be much good to me, so when the Prof. started to talk said to myself, Just some hot air. Later on it looked as though it might he useful. but. 1 didn't get the first part
 Well, that's all right" said Jack. Lets use ourAcommon sense. When we get that compressor in we can charge up the cost of running it to each months work. If it costs $3,000 to put it in we can't charge that out all at once, but we can charge our selves rent for it.' Jack was opening his mouth to continue, but his quick thinking partner beat him to it.
 That's it.. It will cost us $2,900 laid down at the trading post. It will take another $100 cash to haul it up here and set it up, that is not count ing our time. If we put that in, it will cost $400 more. Now, we've got to get enough rent out of it to repay that. $3,400 by the time. we art through up here."
 "Well, you must not. firget that. we can sell it for something when we get through" said Jack. "If we work up here five years, that outfit out to be worth one-half of it's cost. Of course we couldn't include the cost of getting it up the hill and setting it up, but I mean one-half of its cost at the tyad- ing postsay s1,450. It cost S3,400, less that will be S1 ,950. Dividing that by five makes $500 year, or S32.50 a month"
 "One thing you've left out, Jack. If we have to borrow money it will cost us 10 per cent interest. Three hun dred and forty dollars year is better than $28 month. Add that to your $32.5 and it makes a rental charge of $60 month. That is providing we use it five years and can sell it for one-haf of its cost, after we are through with it."
 Jack yawned. "I'm going back to bed. Tomorrow we will charge our time up to your item No. 3-loafng."

 "Costs," he went on, sscan be divid- ed into two main classes-labor and supplies. The first can be taken care of by the time book, the second by means of the bills or'invoices you get from the store where yu buy your goods. The secret consists of classi- flying your accounts so that you know what is charged for each kind of work. For instance, we could work a classification something like this.

uprightsfrom his bunk with startled look onghis face. He and Larry had gone .o bed hours before. It must have beer the middle of the night, but the cabijfv was flooded with light. Rub- ping his eyes, he saw Larry at the table, writing doggedly, the kerosene lamp by elbow.
 'I'll tell you how it is, Jack said garry: I've been awake most all night thinking about money. Finally l got so nervous that 1 couldn't stay abed any ionger-I had to get up and figure out just where we stood. That sight dltfIt. we got for the compressor and outfit yesterday kind f worries me. It;'was what l expected, of course. but it's shock to pay out $2,8O0 alfin one lump. I've just been wonderingif we've got enough to keep us going until spring"
 "Of course," he continued, after a pause, Bill, down at the trading post, will see us tn ough with grub and powder, especially as he knows something of the strike we have made, but don't like to get in too far. Bills always have to be paid. This strike won't do us any good unless we get mill on it so we can get the gold out"
 Jack, shocked into full wakefulness, rubbed his head refectively. "Weli," he drawled, "you sure woke me up. l don | suspect that I can sleep again tonight. What shock! thought we were burning up. Go ahead with your lguring. I'll listen, although it seems to me there isn't any need to worry with that pay shoot going strong, forty feet since we struck 1t, and wider than ever. Anyway we've grub enough in the cache to- last until warm weather"
 "Yes, I know that" replied Larry, 'but we've got to pay the freight on this compressor, haul it up here, get timber for skids to mount it on, and gas toe run it with. The outfit will cost ns over $3,000 cash before we get it ready to run. It will take month of our time; too. After that we can start giving this ore the dickens, but we haven't any mill t stamp it with. We haven't even planned on what kind of an outfit we will get, let alone make any plans as to how we are going@to pay for it.
 Jack stoked his pipe and then reached for his brooches. He had made up his mind that it was no use grumbling, Larry was up for the night. Meanwhile Larry was fgur- ing, his stub of pencil scratching noisily over the rough wrapping paper he was using. Presently he continued:
 Do you know we are just plain fools? For the life of me don't know what the tunnel is costing us. Why haven't we Kept track?"
 "Now, Larry, we know that we have. been up here two winters and so much of this one. Roughly, we know how much money wee spent. The tunnel is abut $40 feet long. From that, I guess we can figure how much it has cost us per foot
 "Yes," responded Larry, "how much of those two and one-haf winters has been spent in tunneling, how much dragging p-the wood or being out on prospecting trips, and how much just plain lating? I'll bet we haven't spent more than one-half' of our time pounding the drill. How much dyna- mite have we used?n"
