THE NOItTII PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. i Violations of Sherman Law dominate the trade, tills was not to bo considered, since thqrc was no actunl evidence that it did so. Finally and this was the striking feature of the de cision it wns held that to order the dissolution of the corporation would in volve the risk tf great disturbance to the flnnncinl and economic structure, and thus would menace the public interest, which wns of puramount im portance. The dissenting opinion contended that the decision, by not conforming with tlio precedent established In the Standard Oil and American Tobncco company cases, constituted an annulment of tho Sherman law. Barnett and His MaJ. Gen. George Barnett, com mandant of tho United States Marine Corps, is traveling about the country on business connected with his corps. In consequence there are numerous Joyous reunions of these famous fight ers. When General Barnett gets off a train tho marines are there to meet him. They are glad to see him. And he Is glad to see them. And nobody Is obliged to conceal his feelings. It's a way they have In the marines. General Barnett was born In Wisconsin in 1859 and was graduated from the United States Naval academy In 1S81. Two yenrs later he was com missioned n second lieutenant in the marines and ho has been with them ever since. There Is n popular notion thnt the marines are "snilors and soldiers too." . Well, they travel with the navy rather than with the army. But they don't help sail the ship. They are trained as Infantry and artillery soldiers. And the marine corps Is an Independent ornnch of the military service. Tho secretary of the navy usually has the say of It. The president may have it do army service. The marine corps is the oldest branch of tho military service and dates back to 1775. It Is universally admitted to bo the most famous body .of fight ing men In the world. "The marines have landed and have the situation well in hand" Is its stereotyped report to Washington. , j Josephus Daniels: Journalist man interest in the stories of saving nnd helping and encouraging than in the doings of tho miners nnd sappers of society." Mr. Dnnlels urged giving the renders of newspnpera the truo pictures of life, the good nnd the bad. "If tho newspapers print only the good the people will think then that this world Is heaven and cease nil efforts to reform. If they print only the bad, the people will think tlio world so wicked that it Is beyond the hope of saving." Duke of the Abruzzi: Patriot Arctic exploration nud shooting tho savage polar bear, hnve no nllurement at present for the duke of tho Abruz zi, who Is now engaged in the equnlly scientific If less Jinznrdous tnsk of in vestigating tho commercial and agri cultural possibilities of the Benndlr Colony, East Afrlcn, with a view to making it a source of Income for Italy, and even eventually of rendering that country Independent of other nntlons for her supplies of eottqn nnd cereals. The duke, In addition, intends to explore the sources of the Uebl Scebel river, which, rising In the high plateau of llnnnr, toward Abyssinia, pnssos through the Itnllnn colonies to the sea, nnd, It is believed, can easily be ren dered nnvlgablo for small boats, be Hldes being invaluable ns nsource of irrigation for the extensive agricul tural enterprises which the duke hopes to Initiate In Benndlr. The duke of the Abruzzi, with tho experts who have accompanied hlin, Is setting up two u.R experimental funns, whore It will ho demonstrated what Immense harvests of cotton, doura, sugar and coffee can be obtained through Irrigation, a system of intensivo culture and the use of modern agricultural. machines. All this work Is being done entirely at the expense of the duke, who hopes thnt similar work mny be started In Lybla and Cyrenulca. Tho nnnounccment of tlio appoint ment of Patrick It. Hllllnrd as n spe cial nsslstnnt to United States At torney General Palmer, to be perma nently stationed In Chicago for tho Investigation and prosecution of viola tions ojc tlio Sherman anti-trust law, has started tho lawyers "discussing anew the decision of the United Stntes Supremo court in tho steel case. In this decision tho court held that tho United States Stool corporation is not a trust in tho meaning of the Slier-, man nnti-trust law. Tho opinion was rend by Justice McKonna (portrait herewith). A dissenting opinion was read by Justice Day. The majority opinion held, in ef fect, that the steel corporation had committed no overt acts violative of tho Sherman law since tho govern ment's suit was filed; that though by Us size and its control of equipment tho corporation was In a position to "Devil Dogs" The autobiography of Josephus Daniels In tlo congressional directory snys lie Is a "Journalist by profession ; formerly editor of tho Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer." The secretary of the navy addressed the New York Press club recently and said, among, other things: j to oe sure, a paper must-ue a 'map of busy life,' but are wo as dili gent to senrch out the meat lri stories' all around us of unselfish deeds ns of tho sordid performances? I tell you there was never a time when so many noble deeds illumined the lives of Amerlcnn men and women as in our day. "And yet wo newspaper men pnss through those mines strewn with rich nuggets of pure gold and pick up( apd polish and place In our show windows tlio glittering imitations which we in excusably pass off as tlio best the mine affords. Moreover, there Is more hu WHEN MILADY DECIDES TO OBEY CONVENTION EVERY girl with nn imagination has pictured the dawn of the honey moon, with herself a radiant bride In all the glory of white satin and tulle. And when drenras como truo nnd she decides to obey convention there has never yet been n dearth of satin or tulle, all ready to be used. But how? That is the question that fairly ob sesses tho brldo and all her women relatives until it is settled. What tho bride requires of the creator of her conventional wedding gown Is that It jnust be conventional but In an origi nal way there are ways of doing things now ways that Insure nn up-to-dnto result. Each year's wedding gowns are tests of Ingenuity on tho part of their designers, masterpieces Into which they wenve the old and new with consummate artistry. This year's gowns hnve provided its brides with a choice of styles swinging all the way from straight lines to the most elaborate draping, and, about midway between these extremes nro such lovely examples of the conven tional wedding gown ns that shown in tho picture. The bride thnt is fnlrly slender nnd tnll will fiote. on this In terpretation of current ldens. Tho dress shows, tho skirt, with a draped Alluring Midsummer Hats WHEN your path leads past tho milliner's show window, be sure you will linger In -front of it for thnt way temptation lies. Only midsum mer could call forth such alluring hcadwenr as that which causes tho strongest minded among us to heslr tato at tho place where It Is displayed, when wo should bo moving on. It ap pears that the very best things which tho year has to offer have been saved for this particular time, and tho chnnccs nro thnt some bit of irresisti ble art, In dress or sport hat, will part th,o unwnry but wise onlooker from some of her money. Tho enroer of tho midsummer hat is brief nnd glorious, nnd wo might as well reckon with it, for It will ronppoar with early June. Three of these adorable hats, shown In the group pictured hero, will sug gest appropriate styles for brides maids, or maids of honor. These mid summer its are very Often mado of mnllnes nnd hair braid, but sometimes of silk or straw braid or of georgette crepo nnd other sheer stuffs. Ono of the lints pictured is a twine-colored braid fneed with pnle roso georgette, nnd a wreath of roses nnd follnge trails about its course. A lovely hat of blnck hnlr braid and mnllnes might bo made up In brown, or for a bridesmaid, In n light color. It lias n scarf of mnllnes, to bo brought aljout tho throat, and long stemmed rosebuda falling from tlio back. tunic nt tho front, made in' one with, tho bodice. It contrives to reconello tho sninrt ankle length of this season's' skirts with a long train which accom plishment is not without dilllcultles. Tho satin bodlco has n squaro neck which the bride may chooso to fill in with n gulmpo of filmy lnco or net, or wear ns It Is, since her throat Is cov ered by a scarf of tulle part of tho very interesting arrangement of tho most voluminous of wedding veils. The veil falls from a cap which has n puff of tulle for its crown and a band of orange blossoms thnt form n henvy wrenth with long, slender sprays fnlllng nt each side. These trailing sprays have appenred In other nrrnnge mdnts of tho enp this season. All the tulle that can bo put Into rt veil envel ops tho brldo in this stately costume nnd perhaps this accounts for tho pearl beads that outline the square neck opening nnd emphnslzo It. Jewelry has been conspicuous by its absence in the costumes of this yenr brides, but njnccklaco of pearls has always been tt.JMwed and ono Is worn In this in stance. If "pearls nro for tears" tho bride, being n very modern nnd up-to-dote young woman, has decided to defy fate. Another hat of lialr braid with a crown of braid and mnllrtes, supports a wrenth of mixed flowers, roses and lilies of.tho valley, that aro as natu ral as life. Tills Is very lovely in gray or brown, nnd is good in blnck. In light colors It Is an ldcnl hat for tho mnld or matron of honor or for bridesmaids. Thero are many beauti ful, light-colored braids among theso glorios of summer millinery, but it is, more thnn anything else, tho charm of flower trimming that proves cap tlvntlng. V Sweater an Absolute Necessity. Summer sports and tho vacation pe riod make the sweater nn nbsoluto ne cessity nnd no nmount of sport conts, no matter how attractive and smart they mny be, can oust this very use ful nnd becoming gnrment. At least a sweater'. may bo becoming If it is well made. Many pf them nro hope lessly otherwise. Silk Coats.

MODERATE EXERCISE NEEDED Not Necessary for Animal to Loso More Than Threo Weeks From Or dinary Farm Work Leave Colt at Stable Is Bert Plan. (Prepared by tlio United States Dopart munt of AKrlculturo.) Kobort Bums wns talking ono tlmo to his old gray mare. Maggie, toll ing her what n good mnro sho had been and how much work sho hnd done. Then ho thought about her off spring nnd said to her: My plow Is now thy bnlrn-tlmo ft Four all ant brutos ns o'er did draw; Forbyo sax mao I'vo soll't awa' That thou hast nurst. They drew mo throttoen pund an twa, The vera warst. Still, thnt accounts for only ten foals. And tho United States depart ment of agriculture "goes Bums ono better" in tolling exnetly tho samo story in entirely different language. "This mnre, besides" doing more than enough work to pay for. her feed, has produced 11 live fonls, which have sold for good prices.'" That, tlio department tells tho pub lic. Is tho kind of n mare to keep ono with plenty of constitution do farm Sho Has Eleven Colts to Her Credit work and raise colts nt tho samo- time. It is tho samo thing Burns had In mind when he reminded "Maggie" how her muscles wero "set weel down a shapely shank." Tho maro that does double duty paying her board by her work and raising colts besides Is entitled to extra care and mnnngement, particu larly during Uio period just before and nfter tho colt arrives. Do not tako tho maro from work suddenly, specialists of tho depart ment sny, but keep her. In harness nt light work until within a week or a few days of foaling time. Then put her in a pleusnnt roomy box stnll where there Is plenty 'of light nnd ns llttlo nolso ns possible. Give her mod- ernto excrclso by allowing her tho run of n dry lot a pnrt of the dny, or, If sho Is too slUKcIsh to do much wnlk- ing of her own nccord, lend her a s'hort distance every day. To, much cxer .iso lfl Just as detrimental as not enough. ' VCare of Young Colt. Try to be present, the specialists say, when the colt is born not dis turbing tho maro and getting in her way but staying quietly near so that you can call a vetorlnnrlnn promptly if need should arise. After the, colt is born, put it in ono corner of tho stall on clean, frosh straw. Then clean the stnll thorough ly, scnttor llmo on tho Jrnro floor und cover with clean bedding. Sunshlno Is a great enemy of disease germs, nnd thero should bo plenty of It In tho stnblo. Tho colt should nurso after It gnins Btrength enough to got on Its feet nnd wnlk nround. If tho colt is wonk, It mny require asslstanco In nursing. Often, however, nn effort is mnde to forco colts to nurso beforo they nro rendy. Nature takes its own tlmo on such occasions nnd hurrying and bustlfng may do rooro harm thnn good, Beforo the colt nurses, wash tho mare's udder 'with a warm two per cent solution of a good coal-tar dlsjn fectant and then rinse with wnrm wa ter. The first milk thnt comes from the mnro is known ns colostrum, and It acts ns n medicine thnt tho colt needs. It Is usually undesirable, thorefore, to milk the mnro beforo tho colt Is born merely because thero np perrrs to bo too much milk In her ud der. Mares aro Inclined to bo peevish when with their young colts. It Is ad visable, therefore, to perform all nec essary duties In connection with them as promptly ns possible and then leave tho stnblo so thnt tho mnre and colt con rest without being disturbed. The mnro should not bo fed heavy grain of liny for tho first '24 houni after tha.colL.ls born. The first feed should consist of a bran mnsh with n llttlo cooked flnxsood mwtl in it. In two or three dnys, if sho js doing well, sho may bo put back on dry foods. At tho ond of n weok, if she is put buck to work, sho enn snfoly have full feed. It is host to turn tho mare .and colt In a lot whore they can exercise,, but care must be used to sco that tlfb colt Is not chilled by remaining out tbo long In cool, disagreeable weather or by lying on old, damp ground. Returning Mare to Work. If only light work is to bo done, tho mnre mny bo jntt bnck In harness In a weok after foaling, but core must bo exercised to sco that tho more Is not given too severe work. The heav iest work should bo done by tho other horses until the mnro iins again re gnlned her strength. When tho mnro Is returned to her work the colt mny bo loft nt tho stable in n clean, roomy box stall nnd, if possible, in company with another ono of nbout tho samo age. Tho mnro should bo brought to tho stnblo In tho mlddlo.of the forenoon nnd nftornoon so that tho colt mny get its food with out too long wiiltlng. Tho colt should not bo permitted to nurse, however, when tho mnro is very warm, as tills , may cnuso dlgestlvo disorders. If it con be avoided, do not use the mnro for purposes thnt will keep her nway from tho farm for n long time, ns If tho colt is left at tho stable, it will go too long without nursing nnd, If it follows tlio mnre, will become overtired. At about two months of ngo tho colt will take dry feed, which should bo supplied through the mnro's grain box. This makes It nccessnry to furnlBh her such feeds as ground oats, corn meal and bran. A. llttlo later on n ' and Has Paid Her Board by Her Work. "creep" should bo built In tho stall or pasture, insldo of which tho colt can bo supplied with grain without having to shnro It with, its mother, A "creep" is siniply a pnrtltlon thnt will keep the mnre out of the inclosure, but high enough that tho colt can -wnlk under it. A handful of ground onts should bo given ut first and the 'quantity, slowlv Increased ns tho colt lrrows." Tho lnrgest quantity should bo nbout n pound a dny.
