AMERICAN HEN A TRUST BUSTER
She Needs No Big Appropriation
And Never Calls for help
but Lays Down on it.
The vexed question, "is it pos
sible to bust a trust,” has been
answered in the affirmative. Here
tofore, it lias been answered like
■the old one whether it is right to
cheat a lawyer: “Right but im
possible. ’’ The strongest agencies
in this country have been grap
pling with this knotty problem,
but up to date not a single success
iias been scon d. The trusts, shot
at from aH directions like wild
beasts; hounded like deer in the
forests, sail on like a phantom
ship through all obstructions and
untouched by any of the ammuni
tion fired at them. The socialists
have howled: the party platforms
have “viewed with alarm,” the po
litical orator has grown red in the
face as he denounced; the state
legislators have enacted; many
governors havo demanded; and
finally for years past the great
federal'government itself has been
■engaged in a gigantic effort to
head off the omnipresent octopi.
The beef trust has been hauled
over the coals, the railroads have
been made miserable ove** their
.mergers, the tobacco trust has
been smoked out and the mighty
Standard Oil lion has been beard
ed in his den. All to no purpose;
It was a waterhaul in every case.
JBut a mightier power than all
these has stepped to the front to
.show the leaders of the land how
the thing can be dune.
me great American non enter
ed the list*, threw down the gaunt
set and invited one of the most po
tential of the minor trust* to tight
to a finish. The cold storage com
bine, bached by millions of dollars
and ramifying throughout every
corner of the country, is the vic
tim of misplaced confidence. An
agricultural exchange says the
■c-old-storage combine entered the
field a year ago as a buyer of eggs
and piled them up in the cellars
of their warehouses by the mil
lions of dozens. So certain were
they of big profits to come, that
they paid still prices for that sea
son of the year, with the result
that enormous sums of money
were tied up in every important
city of the country. The scheme,
of course, was to await cold weath
er as a sure booster of the market,
when it would be easy for the
trusts to take down the profits,
liut, “the best laid plans of mice
and men gang aft aglee." The
great American hen had madeoth
er arrangements and concluded,
for just this once, to keep a lull
supply of fresh eggs all winter.
This was more than the trust had
bargained for, and it was not long
before they began to show signs
c»f distress. They stood it pretty
well through December and Janu
ary, but about the first of Febru
ary there were indications of a
crash.
The authority quoted says that
one concern in an Indiana town
‘'turned its face to the wall to the
tune of one hundred thousand
<lollars clear loss from inability to
guess what the hen would do.
Many others in various parts of
the country followed suit, and
there was not a cold-storage egg
establishment which did not feel
the cold shivers running down its
backbone long before the Ides of
March proclaimed the close of
v, inter.
The moral of all this is obvious.
President Roosevelt and Congress,
as well as the Folks, Lafollettes,
llanlys, and other professional
trust butters may take a lesson
from the lowly mistress of the
barn yard, ller methods are sim
ple, but effective. She doesn't go
out hunting with a brass band, she
needs no big appropriation and
she never calls on the judiciary
department for help. When she
wants to kill a trust she simply
lays down on it.

KILLED OVER CIGARETTES.
Cigarette smoking is directly
responsible for the death of bell
boy Ross of the Kastman hotel in
Hot Springs. Ross, who has been
employed in the Eastman for some
time, was reprimanded by d. d.
Murphy, night watchman for the
Eastman for smoking cigarettes
while on duty. He attacked the
watchman stabbing him. Next
morning, in company with an of
tie*,ir, Murphy went to arrest the
boy, who attacked him with a
boot jack, whereupon Murphy
shot him dead.
WILL SUE STANDARD OIL CO
Attorney General R. L. Rogers
will sue the Standard Oil Trust in
Arkansas. In response to a query
from the New York World, tne
Arkansas attorney-general replied
as follows:
‘'1 think Attorney General Had
ley of Missouri is correct. The
Standard Oil Company is doing,
business in this state. 1 expect to
institute suit against it, and am
watching with great interest Had
ley’s commendable tight in Mis
souri. I think he ought to win
and believe lie will. Arkansas

CIRCUIT CLERK BUSY.
There has been ’’something do
ing in the Circuit Clerk's office
since the first, of January. Depu
ty Clerk Hodges informs us that
from the first of danuary 1SH)(*», to
the 22nd day of March, lbOti that
there has been 200 deeds and 1*1
deeds of trust recorded and <171
deeds of trust on personal proper
ty tiled in that office.
The number of deeds recorded
is far in excess of any other year
in the same length of time and
goes to show that property has
been changing hands at a pretty
lively rate. The personal deeds
are somewhat, in excess of the
same time last year. Batesville

COURTING BY FIRELIGHT.
Uncle Bon whs gi ving the boys
advice in their love making affairs,
and one of them asked how the
young people did when lie was
sparking. “Them was great times,
boys,” he replied,—“great times.
\N e didn’t have no gas, no coal oil
nor new tangled notions, and we
did our sparkin' by plain tallow
dip, but most frequently just by
firelight. Firelight is warmin’
boys, and flickers enough to make
a girl's eyes shine, and the peach
blossoms glow on In r cheeks. It's
mighty soft and purty, too, kinder
reaches out and melts two hearts
together in a way that none of
,\our electric lights know nothing
about. Sometimes the fire shined
up too bright in places and the
young man would get up without
saying anything and put a shovel
full of ashes on it. Then he
would cuddle up to the girl in the
shadows and she would cuddle
some too, and it didn’t seem that
there was anything in the whole,
big, round earth to be wished for.
Purty soon the lire would get ob
streperous again and the little
ll lines would twinkle in and out as
[if they were laughing and winking
|about it and having some fun too,
and the young man would reach
for the shovel and the ashes and
I cover the bright blazes all up.
j And some times—the girl would
get up and put the ashes on, and
then—well boxs, »\hen the blue
| birds come in the spring, and the
1 fishin’ worms crawl out of the
ground and the little boys sit on
the green banks of the creek wait
ing for a bite and the johnny-jump
j ups nestled in the sunny places,
there was a xveddiu’ in the old
house and the party bride wore ap
pie blossom-' in her hair and the
awkward fellow blushes in his
store clothe- and tight boots; and
winter came, lino -it, by their own
! tire and the shov 1 and ashes are
! out of a job.
