I Tho arrival of a grandson so pleased Mr. Rockefeller, that It was with difficulty dif-ficulty he refrained from adding another an-other half cent to the price of kerosene kero-sene Senator Spooner and Tillman aie laying down the law to each other and brightening tho pages of history with their merry quips and sallies.

Fear of the Lord, no doubt is the beginning of wisdom, but Just as truly Is tho fear of Investigation the beginning be-ginning of square dealing In various lines j Wouldn't it bo quite appropriate punishment when corporations are guilty, to lock up their charters for thirty or sixty days according to tho size of tho crime? The weather man Is certain to hit It eventually, If lie keeps predicting "fair and wanner " |
