Chicago—-Loot amounting to be tween $11,700,000 and $17,550,000 may be pilfered from butter users in the United States in the next few months. More than 117,000,000 pounds of butter, amounting practically to an absolute corner in the commodity, is held in cold storage. Prices inflated to from 10 to 15 cents a pound above normal will be asked for this butter. Most o f the loot will be divided among a small ring o f men, including several beef packers, according to reports in the hands of the Federal authorities. The suit which was filed in the United States District court in Chi cago on Saturday, to dissolve the al leged “ butter trust,” had for its ob ject the solution o f these two riddles. Whether the men and concerns named in the suit are the ones to whom the easy millions were to go has not been said openly, but it is known that the action was brought as the direct result o f the activities o f a score or more of United States secret service men and the defendant concerns are the Elgin board of trade and the American Asso ciation of Creamery Butter Manufac turers with their 20 individual officers made defendants as well.

In the last 20 years practically every big institution has had to raise its tuition, except Johns Hopkins, Yale and Harvard. Hopkins raised its charge for arts and sciences from $125 to $150 in 1892, and opened its medical department the following year with a tuition charge o f $200.

BUSH & LANE PIANO COMPANY 355 Washington St., Portland. Or. iv i CHRISTMAS FOR TWO By AGNES HOWARD BUTLER. MALL Thomas Moore was born an orphan. So far hs he was concerned, his brief history be gan and ended at the) Children's home. His big sister Lily, who was six and there fore should have known better, told vague tales of a real Mother and a little house In the coun try where they had cocoa every da}' for breakfast. This last condemned the whole story. At the Asy lum one had cocoa only on Sunday, and this festive event redeemed a day oth erwise devoted to ¿O religious exercises. The two children sat on the edge of their chairs In the bleak asylum parlor, where three holly wreaths in the curtainless windowB proclaimed that It was Christmas. Both were dressed In the institutional blue and white check, and there was a red shlnlngness about their faces which told of the recent and vigorous ap plication of soap and water. Lily was cream and roses with appealing long- lashed eyes that would have secured her a home many times over If she had been willing to go alone. No one wants to adopt a boy. Even the blonde ones were unclaimed, so what chances had Thomas, brown as to hair and eyes and skin, although any thing but somber in effect? The over worked Matron had reluctantly given up the Idea of "placing” the two chil dren together. A desirable home had been found for the girl with two prim maiden ladies and little brother had to remain behind. So the tiny folks were to spend their last Christmas together with Lily’s new guardians. "Sister will come every Saturday to see Brother," said the little girl, who accepted the coming separation with a child's strange fatality, al though her heart was aching. “ Yes," assented Brother noncom mittally. He was less concerned with future happiness than with the pleas ing prospect of a day In new surround ings. A carriage drawn by a fat slug of a horse drew up to the curbing, two ladles got out and cautiously ascend ed the slippery steps. "Mlss-Prlscllla-red-headed and Miss- Mattie pull-her-hair back,” announced Thomas, who had hls own way of characterizing people. "Tommy! Tommy! Don’t call them that,” walled Lily; “ say Miss Pris cilla and Miss Mattie or maybe they won't want me.” At this awful thought even Thomas was abashed, so It was the shy little Lily alone who slipped from her chair and offered her hand to the two ladles as they entered the room followed by the Matron. Miss Priscilla shook hands In a matter of fact way, but Miss Mattie bent to kiss the children as she helped them on with their wraps and gathered up the meager parcel that contained Lily's personal belongings. “ Shall we go now. Sister?” she ventured. The dominant chord of her existence had always tinkled a soft accompaniment to the leitmotif of the decisive Miss Prls. “ Yes," assented the latter positive ly, "and we will return the boy pre cisely at five,” she added to the Ma tron, who had been hovering over Lily with good byes and admonitions. The coachman carried both children down the Icy steps and they bore themselves with becoming modesty, as If accustomed to such care, while the orphans In Uie front ward watched enviously, and one of them opened the window wide enough to call down: “ Aw, Tommy's coming back any how,” as a salve to their slighted con dition. When the big house wxs reached there was a delightful holiday smell In the air of evergreens, oranges and freahly burning driftwood. Uly was taken upstairs to come down later, her blonde beauty radiant In tha white lawn and blue ribbons In which Mlaa u Mattie had dressed her. With a child's adaptability she seemed to fit lu perfectly with her surroundings In contrast to Thomas In hls coarse blue gingham and heavy shoes. She would bring the spirit of youth to a house, long accustomed to the deco rous ways of sober middle age. A black and white Japanese spaniel, with a nose so short that he seemed always on the point of a sneeze. Jumped up beBlde her and laid hls head affectionately on her arm. "What a picture," sighed Miss Mat- tie. "Don’t spoil the child,” rejoined her sister, with a glance at small Thomas, who seemed rather out of It. "Come, it's time for the tree." A white-capped maid shoved aBids the portieres and revealed a tree, glit tering with tinsel and heaped around with various ribbon-tied packages. There was a satisfying smallness, a cozy “ portion for two" feeling about this fat little tree, In contrast to the usual spindly, sparsely trimmed ever- green at the Asylum, which was so large that It never seemed to belong to anyone but the Board of Dlreotors. After a moment of rapturous si lence Lily hugged a real dolly, and Thomas fell upon a toy horse. Be ing of an investigating turn of mind, It was soon minus snddle and bridle and the tall was nbout to follow when Miss Prls created a diversion by light ing the tree so that he might see It in all Its glory before he went back. The early winter twilight began to shadow the room as she rang for tea. Then thoughtfully she hung Tom's coat by the fire to warm In prepara tion for hls cold ride. The tea-wagon appeared. In honor of the day It bore the Martha Wash ington set of colonial tradition, a cherished heirloom whose egg-shell fragility had been guarded from de struction through live careful gen erations. Besides the usual tea serv ice, there was a pitcher of milk and thin slices of bread, spread with rasp berry Jam, and a plate heaped with bananas. It was wheeled Into place before Miss Mattie, whoso transparent hands had barely tilted the teapot, when with a whoop of Joy the riotous Thomas mads descent. Heedless of hls sis ter's warning cry and poor Miss Mat- tie’s horrified gasp, he grasped the handle of this novel push-cart, shout ing: "Bananas! Bananas!” The peculiar fatality which pursues small boys In a drawing-room swoop ed down upon him. There was a crash and a tinkle of silver as the wheels met the edge of a heavy rug, and Tom, the devastator, sat amid the ruins. "Oh, Mlss-Prlscilla-red headed! Mlss- Mattle-pull-your hair-back! I didn’t mean to break It; don't send Lily hack to the 'slum 'cause I'se bad, and be my Muvvers, too.” he concluded breathlessly. It was Miss Prls who picked him out of the debris, and as hls short arms met around her neck and hls tear-streaked face went down on her shoulder, she looked across at Miss Mattie and as one who has at length arrived at a happy decision, she an nounced: "You take th« girl—tha boy Is mine.” (C o p y rig h t, 1912, b y W e s te r n N .w n p n p e r Union.)
