T* International Harvester Company has looked itself over thoroughly, felt of itself, tapped itself and finds to its relief that it hasn’t the faintest eymyptom of trustitis. Who should know better forsoot! The company’s answer to the bill filed by the United States under the Sherman Anti-Trust law denies specifically all charges of restraint of trade, monopoly and unfair business practices. ‘The company finds upon careful examination that it has never turned @ wheel save from motives of economy and desire to benefit mankind; that its dividends have averaged only 7 per cent.; that it hae increased wages 27 per cent., and has spent a patriotic million of dollars trying to make Amer- ican string out of American flax. In fact, after stern eelf-scrutiny, the Harvester Company hos to admit to itself that “considering the capital invested and the haz- ards of the business the company’s earnings have been reasonable and mich smaller than the average profits of manufacturing companies; that the public and employees are receiving the benefits of the large economies and increased efficiency; that, in short, so far from beiny in the same class with vile and unspeakable trnsts, only modesty restrains the Harvester Company from revealing itself as the mighty charitable and philanthropic, institution that it is! This authoritative statement from the patient himself ought to quiet the neighbors. The only signs of disease are such as attend o kind of slow fever of chronic benevolence. Nothing dangerous, On the contrary. Every one will rejoice save hard-headed citizens of in- quiring mind, like The Evening World reader whose letter is printed elsewhere, who seem to think the sick man doesn’t know best! op o—____ THE CASE'OF THE CORNER GROCER. PARE a kind word for the corner grocer. An imposing State S Food Investigating Commission would sweep him off the map with a handful of etatistica, What is to become of him? Let us never forget one great and precious thing which the corner grocer has always stood for and which is represented by the magic word Credit. We wish everybody paid cash. But they don’t. We are sorry they don’t. Still they don’t. credit, and the corner grocer has dealt largely in it for generations. Where are those who must have it to get it in a grocerless hereafter? The corner grocer may have his failings and he may be costing us $60,000,000 a year, but we never thought of that when it was con- venient to be trusted for a pound of tea. Moreover, if we pull down his grocer’s shop we must support him in some other way. Where is his $60,000,000 to come from? What new form will the burden take? For, after all, shift it as we may, it’s the same old load. Chasing away the corner grocer isn’t going to make us rich. There’s but one way to wealth, and that isn’t sure.

HIS {s the story of an Irish girl, so beautiful and winsome as to set London aflame, and with so strong a personality and so sad and Dublin bricklayer. Born in 1714, Peg spent her childhood in and around theatres; and ‘was for a time an orange vender in a Dublin, playhouse. She early became an actress and while still in her teens won local fame. At twenty-two she went to London to try her fortune. Her wardrobe consisted of one costume and her purse was nearly empty. But after nine- teen failures she succeeded in interesting a manager, and he gave her @ jchance. She took the town by storm. Almost at once she found hereelt \the most popular actress of the day. She had a mingled gayety and sadness, jan audacity and fresh youthfulness that were irresistible both on and off the stage. Already she had won hearts, but now she counted her conquests by thé |score. Macklin, @ flery-tempered actor, was among her foremost adorers. And, |though she treated him merely as a friend, he was her devoted ‘e and watched over her I!ke a faithful dog, Hallam, a writer and doctor, sued in vain for her favor. She flirted with him in a mild, harmtess fashion; but wae turfous when she learned that he doasted of recetving love letters trom her. ‘ Macklin resented this caddish brag on Hallam’s part {n numerous fashien. He thrashed Hallam soundly with his walking stick. Then he drove the ferral” of the cane through his victim's eye, into his brain; killing him. For whigh’ kliling, when afl the facts were made known to the court, Macklin was acquittett!” Meantime, Peg had met David Garrick, England's foremost actor. Gartigk was a wine seller when she first knew him. She got him a chance to act. Site success was immediate, | _ Garrick loved Peg and she worshipped him. She had never defore loved, and | she never loved again. They became engaged, but Pox was inordinately fond of |admiration. @he Hked the attentions and the gifts of other men, and she 4i@ | not eee why she should give up such attentions and gifts merely because |Garrick chanced to be jeatous, And Jealous he certainly was, Lord Darnley, |® Man-adout-town, fell in love with Peg. She was flattered by the notice of a |nobleman, and though she was probably true to Garrick she would not drop | Darniey’s acquaintance. | When pour Garrick protested in jealous wrath, she still continued to meet Darnley and neglected to mention the fact to the man to whom she was engaged. It seemed pleasant to her undisciplined, fluffy nature (and the danger added a epice to it) to carry on both affairs at once; although she loved’ Garrick to desperation and did not love Darnley at all. Vanity and craving for admira- |tlon proved too strong @ combine for her to withstand, and she was punished, For tn time Garrick found her out and he broke with her. Then she te eald te have dropped Darnley's acquaintance, but too late to win Garrick back. Garrick’s stinginess had also been a matter of frequent quarrel. He was @ miser and hated to see a penny of his money spent, and after he and Pog separated he refused to return the costilest of the presents she had given him The wedding’s date had been set when the break came. was crushed by the tragic ending of her one love drea! the same woman, Yet she remained as Deautiful and winsome as ever, and admirers stil! flocked about her. ably among these was Spranger Hi |® noted Irish doctor, who, partly fo! love of her, sought to crowd Garrick out of several of the latter's favorite | roles, Hitherto, Peg had been merely a comedian. After Garrick threw her over sho turned also to tragedy and won new laurels in that line. But hot heal:) |and her will power were undermined. On May 3, as she was playing in Shakespeare's “As You Like It,” she was stricken with paralysis and fell” senseless to the floor of the stage. Her career was ended. She lingered on for awhile; devoting the remnant of her life to charity, building and endowing an almshouse. In 1760 she died. 7A POCKET ae VYCLOPED Copyright, 1912, by The Press Publisiing Co.

During the second year of the war, when the General had his forces encamped at Peekskill on the Hudson, some of his soldiers caught a man prowling around the post. Within a short time a depn- | tation bearing a flag of truce arrived from Sir Henry Clinton, the British commander, claiming the captured man as a lieutenant in the British service. The old General’s reply was brief and to the point: | Headquarters, 7th August, 1777, Edmund Palmer, an officer in the enemy's service, was taken as a spy lurking within our lines, He has been tried 04 @ spy, condémned as a spy and shall be executed as a apy; and the flag is ordered to depart immediately.
