Spends about 80 cents a year on his clothes, will go miles to buy 'a shirt at a bar gain, and will bet his head oft on the slightest provocation. "Why, I remember one morning out at the track. Fountain saw an ad. In a morning newspaper announcing, a sale of straw Ijats. slightly damaged, at 18 Bent apiece all styles and ' all stsea. Fountain grabbed the first car: downtown because he-, needed a hat. He was gone something over three hours, but he got the straw tent all right, and came puff ing in at the gate just as the horses were going to the post in the first race, "He made a run for the betting ring and bet the. first bookmaker 'he got. to 31,000' cold on the first raoe-Htnd lost it without a murmur. Now,' what do you think of thatT A man that will spend three hours to get a 14 'cent hat and beta 31.000 without winking an eye lash.

If the epople who do no believe , In ' those Institutions would but demand the home manufac tured product when making a purchase, the trust -would, be Compelled to go out of business. The primary object of the trust Is o pay enormous dividends to its promoters, and in order to ac complish this purpose it must centralise t plant as much as possible. For In stance, a thousand factories in as many places engaged in the same line of manufacturing, would require a man ager, bookkeeper and' a regular office staff In each place, who are In a sense non-producers. Let the trust but ac quire control of . that industry through purchase or, any other means, and just aa soon as 'practicable they- will close down 999. of these factories and estab lish one enormous plant In some loca tion, selected principally on acount of the cheapness of labor and the absence of or lack of enforcement of lawr regu lating the labor of children, especially If their output is - what la known as light manufacturing. Thla mammoth plant haa bet one manager, a few book keepers and a staff of clerk, and they displace the thousands who had been employed throughout the country In a similar capacity. Of course this is not the only -advantage the trust has over the independent , manufacturer, but It Is a great one -nevertheless and If the power of centralization were taken from them they would not be near the menace to the public that they are today. The trust lover , will tell you that organisa tion Is the trend of the times and that tha trusts are a good thing as they tend to 'Cheapen production and I presume they do, but I cannot recall an 'instance where, owing to- the formation of a trust to control an Industry, that the consumer has been given the benefit of the cheapening of production, except it be in a locality where an independent manufacturer had refused to sell, out or to pool his business with them; so they proceeded to kill him off. Again, if the people would insist on their goods being produced at home, the trust in its present aggravated form, would be an impossibility. One trust in the east en gaged tn the production of cigars, has In their employ about io.ooq people max Ing cigars." mostly all-1 of : whom are women and children, ana men nave Deen displaced 1n this line of bujjjness to such an extent that the chili is com pelled to support the father, rathor than the father support the child.

Sunday he took for his subject "Conver sion."?; He said: ; "Two principles are ever manifested In man. 'selfishness' and 'self-enunciation.' By casting off selfish ness and taking up' the principle of self enunclatton, then we may be converted. And If we are converted, living or dead, are the Lord's. The motive of ail our action Is for the love of Christ. All our good Impulses and good resolutions require time to develop; we cannot live up to our new principles at once, but It Is a continuation of trials and battles, we aay that, wel mean to live for Christ, but our lives, must show it The re solve ia the first step, and action must follow. We are orten discouraged be cause our past sins And us out; old sins are constantly causing to falter or to stumble. And right here It Is that we must look constantly to elghef help, for we cannot stand of ourselves. Our habits are our tyrants, and ' without Christ wo an do nothing.
