Chicago—-Loot amounting to be

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

Johns Hopkins University Will Put

Baltimore— Johns Hopkins Univers
ity, in common with other big insti
tutions o f learning in the country, is
feeling the pinch o f the higher cost o f
things, and with a growing enroll
ment is facing the need o f [an increase
in tuition fees.
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.
The announcement has just been

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

window wide enough to call down:

Mattie had dressed her. With a
child's adaptability she seemed to fit

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

with a nose so short that he seemed

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:

order, "because of their slight im
portance.”
You certainly cannot lose
your hair and keep it, too.
Which shall it be? Lose?
Then do nothing. Keep?
Then use Ayer’s Hair Vigor.
That is about all there is to
it. Ayer's Hair Vigor is also
a splendid hair dressing and
hair-tonic. It keeps the hair
soft and smooth and greatly
promotes its growth. It does
not color the hair. Consult
your doctor freely. Doctors
are studying these hair
questions much more than
in former days.
