Marseilles. Aug. 16 -Mulai Hafid
waa awakened at his hotel belore sun
rise, today, by screams of- "Vive La
Maroc'V, When he glanced from hie
window the screams increased in
volume and enthusiasm. There was a
howling- mob .outside which a strong
force of gendarmes - .was trying to
keep in some kind of order and . not
succeeding very well.
The throng consisted mainly of beg
gars, professional and amateur, ped
dlers, street musicians, children and
miscellaneous vagabonds, all. attract
ed by etoriea of the magnificent gen
erosity with which the ex-gultan scat
tered baksheesh following his arrival
here from Gibraltar, yesterday.
V" M,ulai waa aggrieved at having his
beauty Sleep disturbed: today, how
ever, so instead of scattering a double
handful of gold pieces from the win
dow, as had, been expected, he only
looked sourly out a moment, mutter
ed, an ejaculation of annoyance and
turned back i to bed again. Upon
which the crowd burst into a hurri
cane of "A bas la Marocs" and show
ed symptoms of storming the hotel,
the gendarmes had to be reinforced be
fore, they succeeded in - clearing the
street in front of the hotel.
Later, when the ex-Sultan got up
of his own accord, he waa in better
humor, and left a trail of 20 franc
pieces behind him wherever he went.
Xo other guest at the hotel could get
the slightest attention.
His ex-Majesty's treasurer said
mournfully that Mulai has given away
nearly $1,000 in tips in '36 hours -and
he only gets $75,000 annually from the
French government.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WARS ON MOVING PHOTO
TRUST IN EQUITY SUIT
: Philadelphia, Aug. 16. The federal
government opened a war " on the
"moving picture trust," today, by fil
ing a suit in equity for its dissolution
in the United States District Court.
The defendants named by the bill are
the Motion Picture Patents Company,
the General Film Company, Biograph
Company, Thomas A. Edison, Incor
porated, Essanay Film Company, the
Loubin Company, Patthe Freres, Vita
graph Company and thirteen in
dividuals. The court is asked to -restrain
these persons . and companies
from exercising an undue monopoly of
the moving picture business.
The government bill charges that 10
moving picture companies and 13 in
dividuals, by making assignments of
their patents to the Moving Picture
Patents Co., on Dec. 18, 1908 entered
into an unlawful conspiracy to mono
polize the business.
"Not satisfied with the benefit of
lawful monopoly and rights belonging
to them under the several letters pa
tent which they separately and inde
pendently of each other owned," says
the government petition, "defendants
coveted the unlawful power which
would come to them if they combined
all patents in one ownership."
The government alleges that . the
Motion Picture Patents Company was
formed for the express purpose of
evading , the law and that it never
owned any property. That the court
reassign the patents to their original
owners is asked.

Not Quite.. i "
A rancher returned from a year's
trip through the east to flncLthat a one
time neighbor of his, a man noted for
his perfect patience, had been haying
a siege of bad luck. Upon hearing the
news he immediately sought out the
neighbor to condole with him. (
; "WeH, John." he said after greetings
had been exchanged. "I hear you lost
all of your timber through the forest
fires." ;
The other man nodded.
"And they say that the river cut 6ff
your best bottom landL that your bogs
all died of cholera, that your wife and
children have been sick and that they
hare now foreclosed the mortgage on
your other place."
- John nodded again.- "Yes. it's all
true," he said, looking about him at
what, had once : been his prosperous
farm, "all true. Why, sometimes I get
almost discouraged." Ladies Home
Journal."

firm believer in optimism.
.Oh.ce, during a disastrous strike he
rebuked my pessimism with a story.
"A Mississippi , farmer," he said,
"was inundated by the spring floods,
and oneMay while his farm was under
water a friend found him laughing and
Joking in a barber shop.
"George.' said the friend. the
flood's hit you terrible, hasn't it?'
" Oh, yes.' answered the farmer, 'the
flood's hit me, there's no denying
that Then he smiled and added:
'But out in my wheatfleld this morn
ing I landed eight of the finest catfish
Mississippi ever turned out. We had
'em fried for breakfast, with waffles.
Friends, can you heat catfish and waf
fles to begin a cheerful, optimistic day
