An Objsct Lesson. "Miranda," said the mistress, "you are a good cook, and J just know that juu are loo good for us to keep. Some man will come along one of these days and Induce you to marry him." "O. no, mum," answered Miranda, fervently. "I've lived with you and yiur 'usband too long to want ever to get married." There are two conclusions to be drawn from the roply of the faithful B'-rvant; one is that she was loyal to hor employers, the other Is as It may be. The Original. "Darling, you are the only woman I ever lovod!" the manly young follow awnved in accents of soul-reaching anior. The fair young girl looked into his fare with her big child-like eyes overbrimming with trust and confidence. "I guess," she murmured, dreamily, "that Is the way Ananias began when he was courting Sapphlra."

oil." and he also makes much of the railur oi President Moffett to produce before the gr ind jury evidence of the alleged illegal act of which the Standard Oil official said that other
large shippers In tho territory had been guilty. Considering the fact that these shippers included the packers and elevator men of Chicago tho action of tho grand Jury in calling upon President Moffett to furnish evidence of their wrong-doing may bo Interpreted as a demand for an elaboration of the obvious; but tho fact that a rate-book containing these freight fates for other shippers was offered la evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Landls, was kept out of sight. President Moffett would not, of course, accept the Invitation of the grand Jury although be might have been pardoned if he had referred them to various official Investigations by the Interstate Commerce Commission and other departments of the Government We come back, therefore, to the conclusion of tho whole matter, which is that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, was fined aa amount equal to Beven or eight times the value of its entire property, because Its traffic department did not verify tho statement of tho Alton rate clerk, that the elx-cent commodity rate on oil had been properly filed with the Interstate Commerco Commission. There Is no evidence, and none was Introduced at tho trial, that any shipper of oil from Chicago territory had been interfered with by the 18-cent rate nor that tho failure of the Alton to file its alxcent rate had resulted in any discrimination against any Independent shipper. we must take this on the word of the Commissioner of Corporations and of Judge Landis. Neither is It denied even by Mr. Smith that the "independent" shipper of oil, whom he pictures as being driven out of business by this discrimination of the Alton, could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from "Whiting via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois to East St Louis. In short President Moffett's defence Is still good, and we predict will be so declared by the higher court The Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and misdemeanors. Beginning with the famous Rice of Marietta, passing down to that apostle of popular liberties, Henry Demarest Lloyd, with his Wealth Against tho Commonwealth, descending by easy stages to Miss Tarbell's offensive personalities, we finally reach the nether depths of unfair and baseless misrepresentation in the report of tho Commissioner of Corporations. Tho Standard has been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of tho crimes on the corporation calendar. After long years of strenuous attack, under the leadership of the President of the United States, the corporation Is at last dragged to the bar of justice to answer for Its misdoings. Tho whole strength of the Government Is directed acainst it and at last, we are told, the
Standard Oil Company Is to pay the penalty of Its crimes, and It Is finally convicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and Is forthwith fined a prodigious um. measured by the car.
