Another crime has been charged against Standard Oil and its greed, it has been discovered that the Corn Products Coinpain of Illinois, accompany controlled by the directors of the Standard, were holding their workmen in practical slavery. A high stockade was built about the place electric wires charged with electricity were strung on the top anti guards with rilies were mounted. Wages were paid, but men could not <iuit work when they desired, nor could they object to any treatment they received. One man, according to the Chicago papers, was shot while attempting to escape.. It would appear that the directors of the Standard Oil Company are suffieienl ly wealthy to be above such methods. If it were it poor and struggling company it would be a crime. With the Standard H is more than criminal tinee it had not the defense of necessity. Men who, with enough and to spare, will still injure other human beings in the name of business are not of that better world of which we hear on Sundays in the churches. It is to be hoped that swift punishment will fall upon these men and that It may reach e\en further than their much loved and much prized pocket books, even to their personal freedom for some
years.

How One Doctor Successfully Treats
Pneumonia.
“In treating pneumonia,” says Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., “the only remedy I use for the lungs is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. While of course, I would treat other symptoms with different medicines, I have used this remedy many times in my medical practice and have yet failed to find a case where it has not controlled the trouble. I have used It myself, as has also my wife fot

3 A Nightmare Yankee AVTVTVfV♦Vt▼▼▼VVVYVYV? ICopynght. iftux. by American Presa Association.] Bill Meachatu, private —th Pennsylvania infantry, escaped prisoner of war, sto< d at the edge of a wood looking at a house standing in the center of a plantation. Bill's stomach was as empty as a haversack at the end of a two weeks' campaign, and he was wondering if he dare go to the house and ask for something to eat. Would he rather starve or run the risk of go- ^ lug hack to t bat frightful prison pen? I Then he looked himself over. lie hud j no head covering whatever, and the last time ids hair had been combed i was before the tight in which he had j been Vaptured three months agone. j Half tt leg of Ins trousers was missing | us well as the rigiit sleeve of ins coat i and a part of the left sleeve. As to tlu* coat's skirl, it hung in rag festoons. One old rubber shoe and a hit of blanket constituted his foot cover big. It was not danger alone that caused him to hesitate. It was pride. However, hunger conquered hot it pride and prudence, and he went lo the house. Passing through a dower garden, lie suddenly came upon a girl making tip a bouquet. On seeing Bill site dropped tt pair of big scissors, giving a slight scream at tiie same time. Bill's hand naturally went up to his head; hut, not tituluig any hat there to doff deferentially, he attempted to propitiate the girl with an admiring smile. It produced an effect similar to that of a dirty faced grinning skel eton. 'I he girl shrunk hack. "Doti’i he afraid of me," pleaded Bill. “I’m harmless, quite harmless.” He paused tt moment to arrest the ravace of a grnybnck. "I might as well own up tlmt I’m an escaped prisoner of
war.”
"A Yankee!” “Yes, a Yankee, but not a dangerous one just now unless for vermin, anil I’d he ever so obliged if you’d give me a hit of corn pone or something to keep me from starving.” Bill’s tone was sad. and by thh time the girl begun to take in tho pi i ful situation. Site was very yoiingand her sympathies easily touched. She stood for a moment thinking, then
said:
We’re ail loyal (<• the south up :U the house, and If you go there we’d have to give you up. Got under tlmt rosebush, where you will not he seen, and I'll bring you something.” Rill gave Iter a grateful 1* ok. which, though grewsome, didn’t frighten her so much litis time. Site went toward the house, and lie crawled under the hush. Presently she came hack with some scraps slit* laid gathered from the breakfast table rolled In tt napkin, gave them to Bill anti told him he'd hotter he off. Bill, in his gratitude forgetting himself, advanced to clasp her hand, but she darted back with n hit of a shriek, then, seeing that she had hurt his feelings, said: “It Isn’t you I’m afraid of; It's the vermin." Well, Bill hacked away from her so as not to show the remains of his protruding shirt tall and went on his way. When the war ended Bill got a commission in Hie regular army. During the administration of President Grant he was on duty In Washington, which meant that he lounged most of the day and attended social functions In the evening. It was not long before he married the daughter of a southern congressman, and a very happy match he made. One morning he kissed his wife and went to his office In the war department, ns usuol. About 11 o’clock Mrs Meachnm was informed by a maid that there was a tramp at the door who insisted on seeing the Indy of the house. “But I wouldn't advise you to go down; he’s the worst lookin’ beast I ever saw.” Mrs. Meachnm sent the maid hack to tell the man that she was busy, and the maid returned with the Information that the man was bound to see the Indy, and if she didn’t come down he would go up. If there had been telephones In those days Mrs. Meucham would have called the police. But telephones had not yet been Invented, and there was no man in tho house. Mrs. Meacham finally determined to go down. There in the hall stood the tramp. He wore no hat on his uncombed hair, but little more than half of his clothing was available, one foot was incased In a piece of blanket, the other In a rubber shoe. Mrs. Meacham’s terror was somewhat mollified by seeing one or two brass buttons on his coat. “My husband is In the war depart ment," she gasped. “Go lo hint, lie'll provide for you and see that you are taken care of hy the government. The man suddenly put his hand to his hair and clinched something. “For heaven’s sake,” cried the lady, “don’t bring vermin Into this house! Go away! Call on Major Meacham. He’ll attend to your rase.” “It's hard lines," whined the tramp, “when a man can't get a crust in his own house.” “Good gracious, ma’am," exclaimed the maid, “he’s mad!” The tramp looked at Mrs. Meachnm and smiled, a horrible grin which, once seen, would never he forgotten. “Don’t you remember tho Yankee you fed one day in the flower garden down In Dixie?” Yes, Mrs. Meacham remembered him. She had never forgotten him. “Oh. heavens.” she wailed, “have 1 married that horrible nh hi mure of a Yankee? Why didn’t you tell me?” ’’Tell you! How would I have ever got you if 1 had?” Major Meacham did not kiss his wife again till he had had a Turkish bath. ELBERT T. BENTLEY.
