V, NO. 23 / CONSOLIDATED THE GENOA JOURNAL, VOL. VII, NO. 18 \SEPT. 16, 1904. GENOA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1906 SEMES (VOLUME III, NO. 6 r Thompson Piano Company j Has Signed the Agreement and will Locate Factory in Genoa, on Conditions j * * Architect’s Drawing of Building to be Erected in Genoa ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT Company Must Employ no Less than 50 Hands for Period of Seven Years The syndicate which has been negotiating with the Thompson Piano Co. closed a deal Tuesday which without doubt is one of the best propositions that has yet been tendered to Genoa people. The contract has been signed and it is now up to the citizens to fall in with the financial aid necessary to land the concern. The contract is cast iron and binds the Thompson Piano Com- pany to certain aggreements which must appeal to the con- servative ones. Great care was taken by the syndicate to have the matter placed on a solid ba- __ sis to begin with and they have succeeded. Mr. Thompson has been open and straightforward in all his dealings withthe syn- dicate and this, together with his past record, is proof of his integrity and sincerity. The agreement which he signs puts his company under obligations, with a penalty, which should create confidence in the undertaking. The company agrees to em- ploy for a period of seven years no less than fifty hands during at least eleven months of the year, except during the first year when the number shall be no less than twenty-five. Anyone can readily understand that the company could not’run the full quota of "hands at the start for. various reasons. It will take some time to install machinery, and get material ready. And. furthermore, it would be a difficult matter t< find a home f< r fifty hand? (many with families) if they all come to Genoa at one time. If the company fails Jo com- ply with the terms of the con- tract the building becomes the property of the syndicate. The contract calls for a bonus, of $12,500. This sum must be raised. To obtain this sum the syndicate has purchased the Wil- cox property on the west side, where the factory will be located. This land, which is high and dry and especially suitable for build- ing purposes, will be plotted and the lots sold. Here is where the people will be given an oppor- tunity to demonstrate their eager- ness for improvements. At this time no definite plan of disposing of the lots has been arranged Full particulars will be published in a later issue. Clark factorv in DeKalb. Q :ite a number <>t young men Ir >m the north end of the county are now eng iged in the DeKa'b piano factory While the first building pro- posed by the Thompson Company will be 50 x 200 feet, two stories, brick, making 20,000 square feet of floor space, it is the expecta- tion of the Thompson Company to erect within three years an- other building on the same ground and a little to the west and prob- ably running north and south, of at least equal size as the Company expects to largely increase its capacity. The Company is today turning out only an average of two pianos a day. Its demand is j such that Mr. Thompson feels! means and owns his own property in Chicago and, of course, will build in Genoa as will, also, quite a number of his best men who are miking good wages. While it is not authoritatively announced Mr. Thompson expects to build also in Genoa. Mr. Thompson has been look- ing fora factory location for very nearly two years. He or his representatives have been to a great many different towns and have carefully weighed the ad- vantages of every one of them Several of these towns have of- fered very attractive inducements but it was not a matter of money with Mr. Thompson in selecting a location. Of course, the matter of a bonus to be invested in build- ■ ““ '"‘'-iiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu iiu*"^ New Style 6 Thompson Piano MR. THOMPSON LIKES GENOA Had Good Offers from Other Cities—May Employ Seventv-flve Hands While the Thompson Company only agrees to employ the average of fifty people it is the expressed expectation of both Mr. Thomp- son and Superintendent Emil Coulon that the Company will, within a year *or fifteen months, be employing seventy-five people provided, of course, they can really get the help here which they expect to get. This factory in Genoa will give employment to several people already working in the Melville that he should at once increase his capacity to turn out from six to ten pianos a day. Moreover, if the Thompson Company were turning out ten pianos a day, they could produce them at consider- able less proportionate costs than that they are now making an average of two a day. Superintendent Coulon is one of the best known piano makers in this country, having been in the business since he was about fifteen years old and having worked with large concerns in the East and in Canada before com- ing to Chicago. For some time, he was the superintendent for the Cable Piano Company employing perhaps five hundred men but resigned to take a more advan- tageous position with the Thomp- son Company where in a smaller concern superior work can more readily be appreciated than in an extensive factory where quantity must be considered over quality in the natural rush of things. Mr. Coulon,besides having held responsible positions with the largest houses in this country, has been in business fof himself and some years ago had a piano fac- tory at Ottawa, 111., but closed out his business during the hard times of 1893. Mr. Coulon is a man of some ings is attractive to every manu- facturer but it is oniy considered secondary to the natural advan- tages of a town. COMMITTEE INVESTIGATES Is Shown Thru the Present Factory in Chicago and is well Pleased When the committee of Genoa business men was in Chicago looking over the factory of the Thompson Piano Company, if was shown through the great factory now occupied by the .Company at 1136 West 14th St., where this establishment occupies about 16,000 square feet of floor space and where every part of a piano is mauufactured and assem- bled on the Company’s own premises. Superintendent Emil Coulon, together with Mr. Thompson showed the committee through the several departments in which the men were at work taking the raw material and converting it into a very fine and very hand- some finished instrument. The Genoa committee was much sur- prised at the enormous stock of lumber and kindred material which the Thompson Company carries on its premises constantly on hand so as to avoid the possi- bility of any interruption for lack of material on which to work. Tne Genoa gentlemen were also surprised to learn that it requires about six months in the ordinary run of affairs in the Thompson factory to complete a piano. This is not counting the several months I of time in which the lumber enter- ing into the instrument is in the different processes of seasoning being kept in certain rooms at a certain temperature for a given period of time. After a piano has been physically erected and set up the work is not nearly • ompleted as the process of pol- ishing is a tedious and laborious one, much of it being done by hand, that is to say, the exterior of the instrument is rubbed to the finest possible polish by the naked palm of the hand. Of course, the first coats of polish are done by fine sand and pumice stone but after that comes several week's work by an indi vidual workman polishing the work to the highest possible point with the palm of his hand con- stantly moving over the surface. Cheaper instruments may be pro duced by polishing with chemicals and sands which to the inexper- ienced eye, produces a very satis- factory result but when the most perfect result is desired, nothing is as satisfactory as the human hand constantly moving over the highly polished surface. From the factory, the commit- tee was taken to 268 Wabash Av.. where the retail store of this house occupies premises about 50x165 feet on the ground floor and about half as much space on a second floor On this mam floor are several car loads of pianos where daily customers trom all parts of the country come to select instruments at first hand. In a little back room in the extreme rear of this great store Mr. Thompson showed the com- mittee a walnut piano which he had sold about twelve years ago to a piano music teacher in Indi- ana, a man of the highest skill, who constantly used his instru- ment several hour&.a day at least six days a week. This instrument had been used by this professor continuously for about twelve years and was by no means worn out although the fine ivory keys were worn almost as thin as tissue paper from the constant use to which this instrument had been subjected for the past dozen years. A few days before the commit- tee called at the store, the piano music teacher had called on Mr. Thompson, told him how well satisfied he had been all of these years with this instrument and said that he was in the market for another piano although the old one was not worn out. Mr. Thompson sold him a new instru- ment and requested the professor to ship the old instrument to Chicago, where it would be over- hauled and new ivory keys put on and where the instrument would be tuned and made as good as new and as Mr. Thompson ex- pressed it, “good this time for at least two dozen years!” There can be no better evidence of merit in the Thompson piano than this little incident, which the committee learned of only by accident. FROM MODEST BEGINNING The Thompson Piano now ranks with the Best in America The business of Thompson Piano Co., manufacturers and dealers in pianos, was started in a very modest way in the early '70s at East Liverpool, Ohio. Close application and permitting the sale of none but thoroughly reli- able goods soon established an enviable reputation, which fact caused the business to outgrow its location. Realizing that the location was inadequate for so rapid a growth, Mr. Thompson commenced to investigate the different cities where he could have facilities to carry out the project he had in mind. The result is that Charles F, Thomp- son has succeeded in .establishing one of the prominent piano concerns in this coun- try. Realizing that Chicago was fast coming to the front as a manufacturing and commercial cen- tre. he decided to move his business to that point in 1890 J It is a pleasure to note the progress Mr. Thompson has made from a farmer boy to a large dealer and manufacturer. His success is due largely to his business prin- ciples, which have al- ways been just and upright. It is not an uncommonoccurence to find a customer who has dealt with him fifteen or twenty years. That in itself is sufficient evidence of his appreciation of his customers. His business in Chicago has grown to such an extent that it has forced him to provide larger fa- cilities for the manu- facture of Thompson pianos, which enjoy an enviable reputa- tion in the trade. This is not strange from the fact that he has spared neither time nor expense in making the Thomp- son a thoroly reliable instrument, nearly every mail bringing letters of commend- ation from all parts of the United States. Thompson Piano Co.’s Factory is at Nos. 1132 to 1138 W. 14th street, and their warerooms are at No. 268 Wabash avenue. Mr. Thompson of the Thompson Piano Co. A COMPLIMENT Marshall Field & Co. use the Thompson in their Famous Rest Room Some years ago, when Marshall Field completed the great North addition to his retail store, he fitted up the most inviting rest room ever opened in a commercial house. To further lend an air and atmosphere of rest, the great merchant decided to include a piano. To his manager, he gave in- structions to buy the best piano of a Chicago make to be found in the market. The price was not to be considered as long as the merits of the instrument were manifest. Every piano house in Chicago was visited and a careful search and inspection made occupying several days’ time, Finallv after all makes had been carefully examined as to quality of tone, workmanship and appearance, the Thompson piano was selected and installed. Thou- sands of people daily visit this great rest room and linger a moment to catch the melodious strains from the superb Thompson piano in daily use there for the past several years. This victory carrying with it one of the greatest compliments which could be paid to a Chicago piano factory was much sought by every Chicago piano house. Many Chicago manufacturers of pianos would gladly have given a piano free to the great merchant for the sake of the advertisement this conspicuous compliment con- veyed. The attentien of an investigator was called to several of the new styles of the Thompson pianos, at their warerooms, 268 Wabash Ave., Chicago, by their retail manager. The style 6, is one of the latest. The first instrument of this style shown is a beauty in burl walnut veneer, a stump pat- tern butted to make a diamond in the centre of the panel, The matching of patterns in this piano is a good illustration of wnat can be done by expert cabinet artists. The manager explained that in the Thompson pianos the sound- ing'board is guaged by hand. In building the sounding board they do not throw the parts together haphazard, but glue the upward and downward growths of the wood laid in opposite directions of the grain which makes a firmer job and obviates the possibility of the pieces giving apart on account of changes of tempera- ture. For the fibres in spruce timber are very delicate. Little or no voicing of the hammers is necessary in the Thompson factory, and the inter- ior of the instrument the manager explained is built on the order of a violin. The steel plate is of such a thickness, the tuning pins so caretully bushed with maple and the method of building and stringing the piano generally so thorough that a poor tuner who may happen to get at the Thomp- son piano can hardly do it any damage. Six ply rock maple is used in the pin block, niAled and are now making preparations to that end. In the Thompson Piano sonori- ty of tone is always evident by its purity, no matter how old or severely exposed the instrument and the manufacturers account for this by the peculiar construc- tion of their piano. CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS Rockford Mother Leaves Children House and Locks the Doors in Lying helpless in her cradle, breathing in flames which licked her face and neck, Annie, aged six months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wadasz, 943 South Third street, Rockford, received burns Monday morning that term- inated fatally that evening at 5 o’clock at St. Anthony hospital. The girl and her brother, Frank, aged 4 years, were the sole occu- pants of the home, which was locked, and it was his screams heard by Mrs. Lundstrom, a neighbor, that caused the fire department to be called, saving the home and the lives of both children. The mother had left the home just a few moments before the fire broke out. That it was caused by matches lighted by the boy-is the Opinion of firemen. Thompson Factory in Chicago tuning pins.

WIFE’S SUCCESSKILLED LOVE

Dissensions, Misery and Divorce the Result ofj Husband’s Wounded Egotism.

Average Man Must Be the Bread- Winner and the King or the Domestic Structure Is in Danger of Collapse — The Case of Burr Nichols and His Gifted Wife.

-x-

Shattered Romance of Two Artists Seems to Prove That a Woman Must Beware of Beco mi ng More Famous Than Her Husband, in His Chosen Line of Work,

Jealousy, dissensions, misery and di­vorce. Are these the inevitable conse­quences when a wife is engaged in the same life occupation as her husband, when their lives move on parallel lines and with parallel ambitions, and when it is possible that the work o f the wife exceeds in merit that o f the husband?

So it would seem from the unhappy marital history o f Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols, a history in which art and jealousy crept in at the door while love flew out through the window.

Her divorce has just been recorded in the New York supreme court.

It is not an altogether unusual thing nowadays for a wife to outdo her hus­band at his chosen occupation. In al­most every instance where this oc ­curs misery is the consequence.

Men do not like to have wives smarter than themselves, or more ar­tistic, or wiser in a business wray, or who win praise for doing things for which praise is usually accorded a man, declares a writer in the New York World.

Let a woman bake a fine pie, or do a fine bit of embroidery, or hem or stitch, or sew or keep a neat house, and the husband will listen to the world’s praise of her with complacent satisfaction.

But let her keep to the kitchen, if you please, or play the piano in the parlor, or mother the children in the nursery, or do anything but step over the line of demarkation where he is boss.

He is the bread-winner and the king. Those in his kingdom must be weaker than himself and dependent upon him, or the whole domestic structure falls and there is no more happiness in the world.

A R T IS T IC J E A L O U S YC A U S ES S E P A R A T IO N .

So it was with Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols, who nowr has her own studio, her own children, and her own lonely

but even after she began to sell her pictures she continued to be an en­thusiastic student.

She went to France and Italy, where she studied art in the best schools. She was successful there, and event­ually went to South Africa and Asia for landscapes.

Still heartfree and winning her own way in the world, she settled down in Florence, where the air is the very breath of art, and where the sky is as tender as the eyes of love.

Here in the course o f her work she met a young painter named Burr Nich­ols. He, too, was a fine artist, and their mutual tastes drew them' much together.

It is strange that the very traits and characteristics and the mutual likes which give birth to love should in the end be the means of its death and funeral. The young artists did not dream of the truth of these things. How could the art from which love sprang be its murderer? Neither did they reck o f the future when they became engaged. Was there not the magic of love in their brushes? W ere they not bohemians enough to face the future with light hearts? Could they not paint the tearful eyes away from the face of sorrow, and put the cap and bells on the picture of pov­erty? On these fundamental beliefs they were married.

Nichols, like his wife, was a fine painter. They lived an ideal life in their studio. They painted together, talked together, planned together, liv­ing and dreaming for each other.

Ah, what a little fraud love is after all! He had fired the last arrow in his quiver when he shot them through the hearts, and then he left them, deeming his duty done.

The Nichols artist family was in­creased by two lovely children as time passed, and their happiness in­creased accordingly.

D E C ID E A M E R IC AIS B E T T E R F IE L D .

While they were prosperous and contented in Florence they at last de­cided that they could better them­selves in this country.

They came accordingly and settled down in the studio quarter in New York. They continued their successful career, disposing of their pictures as fast as they could paint them. They were happier than most married peo­ple. They made friendly criticisms of each other’s work, adopted each oth­er’s suggestions, were forbearing and forgiving, as men and -wives should be.

In 1897 Mr. Nichols began a picture which, as it developed and the inspira­tion took wings within him, he re­solved to send to the Paris Salon. As the idea grew his work became more painstaking. Should he succeed, the added incentive as well as the pres­tige it would give him would be o f

Then followed a period o f deep anxiety in which two souls joined. Im­patiently they awaited the issue. In a month the answer came. The pic­ture had been accepted and would be displayed “ on the line.” •

Joy reigned in the Nichols house­hold. They would now paint with a deep and strong foundation o f success under them. The Paris Salon had spoken and the Paris Salon was mighty. The picture had secured “honorable mention.”

The husband resolved to paint an­other picture for the following year’s Salon. The wife would try it, too, she said. W as not her husband’s success her ow n? If she should succeed, would not her success be gracious in the eyes of her lond and master?

Mr. Nichols smilingly gave his as­sent to the plan and they set to work

fatal blow, and under that blow love withered. There was no more peace, po more happiness in the household. Seeing this, the \ children were silent and miserable.

But the last straw came when Mrs. Nichols’ picture, her famous “ Scarlet Letter,” received encomiums on both sides of the Atlantic. The husband had never done anything like it.

After a year of trouble the couple separated, the husband going away and the wife remaining to work out her own career.

Thereafter her existence was peace­ful, if lonely. There was but one easel now, and one painter. There was but one ambition, and that was the sup­port and education o f her children. Art for art’s sake was no more. Love for love’s sake was a farce.

The woman continued to work

course in life, separate and distinct from that of her divorced husband.

Before Rhoda Holmes married she was known as now as a water-color painter of much m erit Her pictures were sought by dealers and connois­seurs, who paid good prices for them.

Being an artist, she naturally be­came well known in the New York artist colony around Fifty-seventh street and Eighth avenue. She was pretty and popular and good.

MisB Holmes was not only a painter,

priceless value in his future work.The wife watched his work with

the greatest solicitude and pride. She encouraged him and gave him loving and unstinted praise. She put her own brush by to watch his. To her his work afforded a period of self-ab negation in which all her being was wrapped up in his.

Eventually the great painting was finished. With the utmost care they packed it and sent it off to the Paris Salon.

HOLME&M/C//0L5

with light hearts. Mrs. Nichols could only paint betwreen the intervals o f caring for her children, but she went at the work with a light heart, hoping against hope for success.

The two painters wrought and la­bored side by side. They saw their separate efforts grow from mute out­lines, and take form and shape accord­ing to their ideas.

F IN D H A P P IN E S SIN C O O P E R A TIO N .

Up to this time not a cloud had marred their domestic sky. They were happy, with the careless happiness of children. Their art was a joy— a play to them.

And so they played together until the paintings wrere finished. In order to insure separate consideration they were packed and shipped in separate boxes to the Paris Salon, where 3it the -world's arbiters in art.

In due time Mrs. Rhoda Holmes and Mr. Burr Nichols received their re­spective verdicts.

For Mrs. Rhoda Holmes it was: “ Painting accepted and given honor­able mention.”

For Mr. Burr Nichols it was: “ Paint­ing judged unworthy; hereby re­turned.”

Here fell the shadow, if we are to believe those who sympathize with Mrs. Nichols. Here entered the note of discord. Here was the parting o f the ways whereby two souls became estranged, through the life of earth and the eternity of heaven.

With the w ife’s joy was a feeling o f sincere sorrow for her husband. He had worked so hard. He had hoped for so much. Why could not both of them have won?

Although the shadow was in his heart, the husband spoke bravely of the future. “ Let us try it again, he said; “ we may both win next time.”

And so they went to work for a sec­ond trial. Side by side they painted as before. But now there stood a ghost between them— the impalpable shadow of jealousy and discontent. The wife, perceiving this, grieved much over it. The husband, imagining things that were not, grew gloomy and taciturn.

In due time the two pictures were packed in separate crates and shipped to Paris and in due time the answers came back.

His answer was a box with his pic­ture, returned -with a due acknowl­edgment; hers an acceptance with honorable mention.

Then, say Mrs. Nichols’ friends, the man’s nature seemed to change en­tirely. He became grumpy and cross. Nothing seemed to please him. The iron had entered his soul. The wife had outdone the husband in his chosea sphere of life. Oh, strange phase of & man’s nature which makes such a thing unforgivable!

Some old philosopher has called love “ the egotism of two.” The ego­tism of Burr Nichols had received a

bravely. She could have gone *to France or Italy, where her young artist days were passed, but she preferred to remain in this country and educate her children. She took a studio at East Gloucester, Mass.

In her artistic career she won eleven medals. She had shown pictures, at the exhibition of the Roman W ater Color society in 1883; she was hung on the line at Turin, Milan, the Royal acade­my s ’ Paris iq 1900, at the Chicago and 1 an-American expositions, at At­lanta, Nashville, Cleveland and the Boston Triennial in 1896.

She is a member of many art clubs and societies and was for nine years vice president of the Water Color club of New York, is a member of the Na­tional Arts club, the American Water Color society, the New York Water Color club, the Barnard club, Pen and Brush, the W om an’s Art club, the American Society of Minature Paint­ers and an associate member of the W oman’s Art Club of Canada.

M U T U A L H A P P IN E S S

IN C H IL D R E N ’S LO V E.

For eight years Rhoda Holmes Nich­ols has never ceased to struggle. She has earned a fair competence and has led a retired life, but gradually she is learning to be happy again—happy in the love of her children, which knows no distrust or jealousy.

The other day the curtain fell on the last act in this strange marital drama.

Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols received a decree of absolute divorce, carrying with it the legal custody of the chil­dren, and authority to resume her maiden name.

Incompatibility was the cause given, but the divorce papers are sealed.

Mrs. Rhoda Holmes is still young and much of life is yet before her. But it is doubtful if she will ever again regard love as anything but a mirage of the youthful brain, an unsubstantial dream, the flesh tints laid upon the bones of an awful skeleton.

But the experience of Mrs. Holmea is not singular. So long as man’s na­ture remains unchanged, just so long will he demand the leadership of the family, both mentally and physically The spiritual crown he accords to woman without question.

Moral: Do not beat your husbandat anything he may undertake.

M em ber Tells Interstate Commerce Commission He Could Have Bought at H igher Figures, but Feared He W ould Be Expelled.

Chicago, Oct. 17.— That the Chicago Board of Trade is killing Chicago as a grain center and has already placed the city in the position of a “ one- horse” village in that respect, be­cause of an illegal rule passed by that body, was the declaration Tuesday of Richard Gambrill, a broker, before the interstate commerce commission.

James Pettit, president o f the Peav- ey Elevator company, told o f a pool between the elevator companies regu­lating storage charges.

He declared that he was not sure the plan was illegal, but since the new rate law had gone into effect his firm had discontnued its connection.

The commission is investigating the complaint that the railroads and the elevator owners have combined to restrain trade and kill competition.

Gambrill, who said he was a broker for John C. Shaffer, an elevator owner that testified Monday, was the first witness Tuesday.

Lim its Price fo r Grain.“ So long as your august body is in­

vestigating these conditions, I would like to tell of a rule that I think is killing Chicago as a grain center and has already placed the city in the position of a one-horse village so far as the grain trade is concerned.

“ Every afternoon before the closing of the Board of Trade a call is post­ed giving the price that is to be bid to the country for grain.

“ Every broker who bids must bid within that price.

“ For that reason I quit doing busi­ness. I couldn’t make any money. I thought the rule unfair and illegal and in restraint of trade.”

Could Have Paid More.Commissioner Lane— Was that rule

passed by the Board of Trade?“ Yes.”“ Was it contested?”“ It was contested bitterly. For ex­

ample, I have orders every day from the east to buy grain and at a price two or three cents above the Chicago limit, as made by the Board of Trade. Yet I couldn’t— didn’t dare to— offer more, so I quit that branch.”

“ What penalty was there, or is there, attached to violation o f that rule?”

“ Expulsion from the Board of Trade.”

“ Milner James was the most artistic safe-breaker in the business,” said Lecocq the detective. “ He is dead now. He opened in his time over 700 safes without tools or gunpowder solely by working out the combination with his delicate and patient fingers.

“ ‘It took me a year,’ he once said, ‘tjp learn the trick of picking combina­tions. I studied all the locks there were and I had three safes o f different makes to practice on. The ear is the most important factor in my method and it must be held tight against the safe door on a line with the tumblers. When the knob of the lock is turned slowly and one of the tumblers reach­es the notch corresponding to the first number of the combination the tum­bler will fall with a little click. Care must be taken not to displace this tumbler. You keep on trying the knob back and forth gently till each of the tumblers drops. Then the door opens- Hardly one man in a thousand has an ear delicate enough for this work and to be a success at it you’ve got to give up tobacco and alcohol.’ ”

“ I suffered with eczema six months. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so thick that I could hardly put a pin on me without touch­ing eczema. My face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to anoth­er doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He said that was a very good thing, but that he thought my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work, and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I want ev­erybody far and wide to know -what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema.

W oman’s greatest g ift is the power to inspire admiration, respect, and love. There is a beauty in health w hich is more attractive to men than mere regu­larity o f feature.

T o he a successful w ife, to retain tha love and admiration o f her husband, should he a woman’s constant study. A t the first indication o f ill-health, painful or irregular periods, head­ache or backache, secure Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and begin its use.

Mrs. Chas. F. Brown, Vice-President Mothers’ Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, H ot Springs, Ark., w rites: _Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— _

“ For nine years I dragged through a miser*able existence, suffering with inflammation and female weakness and worn out with pain and weariness. I one day noticed a state­ment by a woman suffering as I was, but who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg­etable Compound, and I determined to try it. A t the end of three months I was a different woman. Every one remarked about it, and my husband fell in love with me all over again, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­pound built up my entire system, cured the trouble, and I felt like a new woman. I am sure it will make every suffering woman strong, well and happy, as it has me.”

Women w ho are troubled w ith pain­fu l or irregular periods, backache, bloating (or flatulence), displacements, inflammation or ulceration, that “ bear­ing-down ” feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, or nervous prostration may be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E- Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

'jlf “Brindle” A bks for L itt le in Return fo r Al! She Gives.

Many who live on small country places are deterred from keeping a cow by the mistaken idea that she re­quires too much room or care. Brindle needs no more space for her comfort, and less of your time, than even the small poultry yard. It is more impor­tant that the family should be supplied with clean, pure, wholesome milk than any other article of food.

All that is necessary is a dry, well- lighted stall, five or six feet wide and a few feet longer than the animal. A

P

Breakfast at the Usual Hour.

tight manger and a gutter to receive the droppings are essential. Then by all means fasten her with a chain tie or swinging stanchion, that she may have freedom to use her all-cleansing tongue. Plenty of clean bedding— shavings are best— plenty of absorb­ents in the gutter, with some slaked lime occasionally as a deodorize!’, com ­plete the sanitary furnishings.

For grounds, a cow needs but a small yard for exercise. Keep it filled with the leaves and rakings from the lawn to prevent it from becoming muddy. These make good mulching later.

Grazing is best in summer, if it can be had, and green crops cut and fed are a good substitute. Oats and field peas, planted to secure a succession, will serve the purpose. There are al­ways roadsides and odd corners that a cow can graze down, and the lawn may be sparingly utilized. When the pasturage begins to fail, the grain ra­tion must be started to maintain a full milk flow.

Feed what you can produce or buy to best advantage in your market. Simply stated, the balanced ration means the proper ratio between the fat-forming and bone-and-muscle-mak- ing elements of the feed stuffs. The amount and proportion of grains and roughage depend on the cow, and must be determined by experience. The winter feed should consist of about ten or 15 pounds o f mixed grain and 20 to 30 pounds o f hay and rough­age. Mixed timothy and clover hay is better for cows than clear timothy. Alfalfa hay is better than either, as it furnishes more of the muscle-forming elements so hard to get in the winter season. Roots are fine to supplement the dry winter feed.

Grooming is necessary not so much for the cow ’s welfare as for the good o f the milk. The amount of dirt that will find its way from the ungroomed cow ’s body to the milk pail is simply astonishing. A vigorous use of the curry comb and brush each morning, followed by a wet sponge or damp cloth before milking, will effectually prevent the dirty sediment so often found in the bottom of the milk pitcher. Grooming is doubly necessary in winter, when the cow is stabled.

W etting Silage a Success.Two years ago I filled my silo in the

ordinary way and about seven inches o f the surface spoiled. On the sides and corners at least twice as much rotted. The past year only three inches on the top and five at the sides and corners spoiled. The silage imme­diately under the spoiled portion was a better quality than any I had ever put up, in fact, about perfect. This smaller loss, says the Illinois corre­spondent of Orange Judd Farmer, was due to wetting the silage as it came from the cutter. I attached a hose to the water tank and arrahged it so that the water would fall upon the cut corn just as it came from the silage cutter. Sufficient was applied to thoroughly wet all the fodder. This method is much easier than raising the water in pails and distributing it in that way. I believe that this wetting of the corn is an important factor in the making o f silage.

D A IR Y N O TES.

Nothing but pressed tin is good enough to hold milk and cream.

Tenacity in milking is the most es­sential element of profit in the dairy cow.

The flavor o f butter is affected by feed and cleanliness, not by the breed o f cows.

The pasteurizing of milk sold for consumption extends its keeping qual­ities about 12 hours.

The corn crop can be made most useful and valuable to the dairyman by putting it into a well built silo.

Pasteurization will not remove dirt from milk or cream. The best way is to keep the dirt out in the first place.

Succulent feed for winter for milch cows, fattening cattle, sheep swine or other stock, is best furnished by the Bilo,

A D V O C A T E S S T O N E SILO .

W h at a Wisconsin Dairym an Has ta Say About the M atter.

I consider a round, stone silo, plas­tered inside with Portland cement, the best kind to build, writes a W is­consin dairyman. My silo is 19 feet in diameter inside and 34 feet high, the foundation being six feet below the surface o f the surrounding ground, with tile drains below and an octago­nal shingled roof. It is a little more expensive to start with, but it is the cheapest kind of silo in the end.

I usually begin to cut the corn be­tween September 10 and 15, when the grain is nicely glazed, but the stalks are still green. When filling I always keep the silage level and well tramped down, as it is our aim to get all the corn we can into the silo, as it keeps better when it is packed. It is a good plan while filling to wait until it set­tles, and then fill up the top again once or twice, which will allow you to have better silage near the top layers. My silo holds enough silage to feed 36 cows from November to May, giv­ing about one and one-half bushels per day in two feeds.

I consider it an ideal feed for dairy cattle through the winter season. None goes to waste, if the cattle leave any the horses will eat it, and it is especially good food for colts. W e also feed it to poultry and to brood sows, for which purpose it is very satisfactory.— Farm and Home.:

C O N C E N T R A T E D D A IR Y FOODS.

Results of Experim ents Carried on atPennsylvania Experiment. Station.

In experiments to determine the best forms of roughage for dairy cows along with concentrated foods, the Pennsylvania station found that where grass is not available silage was best. Some dry fodder or hay should be fed along with silage. The experiments show that corn stover can be used to replace timothy hay with excellent results and a considerable saving of cost. If grown in a rotation, timothy hay should be sold and corn used for the dairy animals.

Pure cottonseed meal contains a larger per cent, of digestive protein than gluten meal and is much richer in fertilizing qualities. It will in most cases prove the best feed to produce milk and butter. As cottonseed meal is so often adulterated farmers should require a guarantee of 42 to 46 per cent, of protein.

Wheat bran is one of the finest of dairy feeds, but it contains only about one-third as much protein as cotton­seed meal and it often costs about the same per ton, therefore the dairyman is paying three times as much for each pound of protein. If the dairy­man is obliged to buy feed the most concentrated will usually prove the most economical.

F E N C E S A L T BOX FOR C A T T L E

How a Convenient and Serviceable Re­ceptacle Can Be Provided.

Here is an idea of a salt box for the fence. It has the disadvantage, per­haps, of being somewhat exposed to the weather, but the idea is good, nevertheless, says the Prairie Farm­er. Two pieces of plank are cut as in*

A Fenct* 4 alt Box.

dicated by the side o f the box. The* are placed about eight inches apart and nailed to two ends. The rear of the box is cut so as to give a projec* tion of about four inches.

The idea is that when the framed end is placed between two fence boards the pieces A and C can be nailed on securely and thus hold the box in place. Obviously the fence boards will pass through the portions between A and B at both top and bot­tom.

This box will work best when it is placed under cover since there will be no danger from storms. It also can be used for feed where an animal is pastured, as a mare with colt, needs a little grain daily.

Corn Cob Meal Good.A dairyman who has long fed corn

and cob meal to his cows, says he ha3 found it one of his best feeds, but it is better to add ground oats also. This feed, he says, with corn silage and some clover hay keeps the flow of milk and its fat to the standard of summer blue grass pasture. He urges his neighbors to try his plan and says his feed mill is one of his best invest­ments, thinking that grinding the ear corn, cob and all, adds much to its value in feeding. He keeps as many pigs as possible to feed his skim milk to fresh from his separator.

Cream Separators.Some separators are more effective

than others in removing impurities, so it is well for the intending pur­chaser to test a separator thoroughly before buying, taking into account the amount of slime accumulation as well as the cleanness of skimming. After all that has been said about the com­position of separator slime, it ought not to be necessary to urge the neces­sity of washing the machine after every run, but in our best dairy sec­tions there are still many farmers who consider one washing sufficient for two runs on the same day.

Sunshine is cheap and healthful Have plenty of it ia Uie stable.

Kept T ax Receipts Long.Charles King, o f East Liberty, a

luburb of Pittsburg, is what might be termed a careful man. He has been a voter in the East Liberty district since 1857 and when asked on the last reg­istration day if he had a tax receipt he pulled from a pocket tax receipts for the last 41 years. When asked by the registrar if he had any more he replied that if he went down deep in­to his “ strong box” at home he might possibly find a few dating long back before the oldest member of the board was born. Mr. King Is now 78 years Did, having been born in Baltimore in 1828, removing to East Liberty in 1857. His first presidential vote was cast for John C. Fremont and his last tor Theodore Roosevelt. He is a Btanch Republican and as a contractor and brick manufacturer for half a cen­tury has contributed much to the up­building and growth of East Liberty.

Industrious French W orkm en.Nearly all the workmen employed in

the naval arsenal at Toulon, France, add to their salaries by exercising an­other trade during their leisure hours, are hotel carpet beaters, others dis­tribute prospectuses and handbills, or act as parcel carriers for local shop- beeprs. One man complained recently In all seriousness that he was so over­worked at the arsenal that he had no time to exercise his profession of mas­seur. A number of arsenal hands ac­tually carry on their supplementary trades in the yards. There are amateur shoemakers, watchmakers and bar­bers, who carry on a thriving and lu­crative business among their com ­rades.

Adopt Am erican Ideas.The Russian military authorities are

considering the adoption of khaki uniforms, the czar having been espe­cially interested in one recently worn by an American army representative at St. Petersburg. The military au­thorities are also considering Ameri­can accoutrements, including web car­tridge belts and cavalry saddles, with a yiew to their adoption.

Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage.

One of the most curious contests ever before the public was conducted by many thousand persons under the offer o f the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., o f Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the most words out of the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts.

The contest was started in Febru­ary, 1906, and it was arranged to have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906.

When the public announcement ap­peared many persons began to form the words from these letters, some­times the whole family being occupied evenings, a combination of amuse­ment and education.

After a while the lists began to come in to the Postum Office and be­fore long the volume grew until it re­quired wagons to carry the mail. Many of the contestants were thought­less enough to send their lists with insufficient postage and for a period it cost the Company from twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day to pay the unpaid postage.

Young ladies, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to examine these lists and count the correct words. W eb­ster’s Dictionary was the standard and each list was very carefully cor­rected except those which fell below 8000 for it soon became clear that nothing below that could win. Some of the lists required the work o f a young lady for a solid week on each individual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately but the Company had no idea, at the time the offer was made, that the people would respond so generally and they were compelled to fill every available space in the offices with these young lady examiners, and notwithstanding they worked steadily, it was Impossible to complete the examination until Sept. 29, over six months after the prizes should have been awarded.

This delay caused a great many in­quiries and naturally created some dissatisfaction. It has been thought best to make this report in practically all o f the newspapers in the United States and many o f the magazines in order to make clear to the people the conditions o f the contest.

Many lists contained enormous numbers o f words which, under the rules, had to be eliminated “ Pegger” would count “ Peggers” would not. Some lists contained over 50,000 words, the great majority of which were cut out. The largest lists were checked over two and in some cases three times to insure accuracy.

The $100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Reese, 1227-15th St., Denver, Colo., with 9941 correct words. The highest $10.00 gold prize wenff to S. K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 cor­rect words.

A complete list o f the 331 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any contestant enquiring on a postal card.

Be sure and give name and address clearly.

This contest has cost the Co. many thousand dollars, and probably has not been a profitable advertisement, nevertheless perhaps some who had never before tried Grape-Nuts food have been interested in the contest, and from trial of the food have been shown its wonderful rebuilding pow­ers.

It teaches in a practicable manner that scientifically gathered food ele­ments can be selected from the field grains, which nature will use for re­building the nerve centres and brain in a way that is unmistakable to users o f Grape-Nuts.

How a Veteran Was Saved the Am­putation of a Lim b.

B. Frank Dor emus, veteran, ofRoosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind.,

S says: “ I had beenshowing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mus­tered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Head­aches, dizziness and sleeplessness, f i r s t , and then dropsy. I was weak and help­

less, having run down from 180 to 125j pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed! almost involuntarily. My left legj swelled until it was 34 inches around,1 and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan’s Kid­ney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural, and all my pains and aches disap­peared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan’s Kidney Pills.

Animals Do w ith L ittle W ater.There are some animals which rare­

ly drink; for instance, the llamas, of Patagonia, and certain gazelles of the far east. A number of snakes, liz­ards and other reptiles live in places devoid of water. A bat of western America inhabits waterless plains. In parts of Lozere, France, there are herds of cows and goats which hardly ever drink and yet produce the milk for Roquefort cheese.

Advancement in Afghanistan.The ameer of Afghanistan has en­

Hence it is that Royal Baking Powder renders the food remarkable both for its fine flavor and healthfulness.

No alum , no phosphate— which are the principal ele­ments of the so-called cheap baking powders and which are derived from bones, rock and sulphuric acid.

Q ueer Foods of New Y o rk Epicure*.History tells us that Confucius liked

sharks’ fins and sea slugs and birds’ nests. W ell and good. If a man with an intellect like that o f the great Chi­nese philosopher found these, to us, unusual foods, palatable, they must be worth trying. Then there are the pre­served grape leaves, the pickled •squash, and the dried okra o f the Sy­rians. These people o f the orient were ‘civilized long before America was •even thought o f being discovered, so there is no reason, argues the epicure, why their knowledge and choice of ■foods should not be well worth inves­tigating. The other countries have their special delicacies which, if they are sought out, appeal to the univer­sa l taste and form an agreeable and (inexpensive addition to the daily menu •of the average mortal who must ea t 'Bear steak from the west, kangaroo tails pickled, which com e from Aus­tralia; preserved goldfish from the N ile; canned abalone from California and dried goose from Sweden are only a few of the queer foods kept for sale in the New York markets and sold in quantities every day. Until recent­ly, says Harriet Quimby in Leslie’s W eekly, people who relished snails were regarded with sentiments which savored o f disgust, but that notion has changed, and at the present time that delicacy can be procured in almost any o f the first-class hotels and cafes in New York. In order to meet the growing demand, one of the largest caterers in the city imports 25,000 snails every week from Brittany, where the best snails are grown.

The A lham bra Crum bling.Since more and more American

tourists visit Spain each year, the news that the Alhambra, the Mecca o f all pilgrims to that country, is in greater danger of total destruction than ever before will arouse wide­spread interest in this country. The government contributes 45,000 pesetas a year for its preservation, but that sum has proved quite inadequate for present urgent needs, and one cannot help wishing therefore, that some wealthy American art patron might immortalize himself by coming to the rescue. That the Alhambra has sur­vived to this day is in itself a marvel. During its five centuries o f existence it has been srrtjjected to severe trials. Shattered, at one time, by an explo­sion, and shaken by earthquakes, it has at other times sunk so low as to be a habitation of smugglers, and even a stable for French army horses. The present danger, explains the New York Post, lies in the fact that the foundations are being undermined by water from the old ruined conduits. Not only are the government appro­priations insufficient to meet this con­dition, but the situation is compli­cated by a quarrel among the three directors. This has resulted in the resignation, after 35 years of service of the eminent expert in oriental arch­itecture, Senor Contreras. He has restored many o f the tiles, as well as the figures and colors and the other mural decorations, thus giving a fair idea of what the Moorish palace was in the days of its glory.

Misuse of the Telephone.Calling a husband up maliciously on

he telephone, day and night, has been uled in Masachusetts not to be an Lctionable misdemeanor in a wife. Fhe judge added, however, by way of gratuitous observation, this: “ I think hat one having a telephone in his louse could enjoin a person from con- inuously ringing him up day and light upon unimportant matters which io had no right to do, to the loss of ileep and rest to the occupant and to us great annoyance.” With new nethods o f communication come new ubjects for lawyers and the rest ol is to discuss. Take rural free deliv- iry, for instance. W ith the telephone, ays Collier’s, this is changing the nost important aspects of country life. 5ome person? oppose it because, .mong other reasons, it costs money. >uch persons would probably oppose he mail service if it were a newer luestion. The rural free delivery, like very means o f intercourse, will not ie set back, but rather be a larger fac- or constantly in our civilization. Mr. )lmsted, the great landscape gardener ?ho did so much to ruralize the cities, aid that a still more important duty pas to urbanize the country, making t more attractive and more nourish- ng to the mind than the tenements of . slum.

W in Last Contest of Post-Season Se- ries fo r W o rld ’s Em blem by

Score of 8 to 3.

Chicago, Oct. 15.— President Charles A. Comiskey, of the W hite Sox cele­brated the twentieth anniversary of his first world’s championship Sunday by watching his “ hitless wonders” bring that honor to him for the third time, when the White Sox, on their own grounds outbatted and clearly outplayed the Giant Killers in the de­ciding game for the greatest honor in baseball, and won the series by the score of 8 to 3.

It was 20 years ago to the day that the St. Louis Browns, headed by Comiskey, defeated Anson’s old White Stockings in the last game of the memorable series in ten innings by the score of 4 to 3. Again, in 1887, did Comiskey win the world’s honors, but the dearest victory of all was th* humbling of the strongest team that the National league ever had.

The White Sox, who came from ab­solutely nowhere in the American league peimant chase and won the flag showed beyond the shadow of a doubt that they were the masters of Frank Chance’s great machine. Miner Brown, acknowledged to be the best pitcher of the season in the old league, was buried under an avalanche of j hits at the start of the game and forced to leave the box in the second J inning. Big Orval Overall took his j place, but the game was won and Os- j sie’s herculean efforts counted for j

nothing.Doc White, who was batted out of

the box in the game of Wednesday, secured ample revenge by holding the terrible swatters safe all the way. The men who led the National league in team hitting were forced to be con­tent with seven hits, while the men who finished last in team batting in the American league amassed 14 safe ones, nearly all of which counted in the scoring.

Money Lender’s Estate to Be D istrib­uted Among London's Poor.

London, Oct. 15.— By the death of Mrs. “ Sam” Lewis-Hill, widow of the “ Sam” Lewis,” the well-known money lender, about $15,000,000 will be dis­tributed in charitable bequests.

In accordance with the will of “ Sam” Lewis, who died in 1901, his whole fortune was left to his widow for life, besides which she was given outright $5,000,000, much of which presumably will go to her second husband, Lieut. Hill, of the Scots Guards.

The King’s hospital fund comes In for a large sum. Besides a specific amount, $1,250,000, the hospital gets about $3,000,000 out of the residue of the estate.

About $7,000,000 goes to establish­ing dwellings for the poor, the sum of $750,000 is devoted to the relief of the Jewish poor and Jewish hospitals and colleges, and $875,000 goes to oth­er hospitals, while a number of other charities get good legacies.

Houston, Mo., Oct. 15.— Barney Parsons, a farmer, his wife and three children were murdered Friday near Lickin, Mo.

A farmer near Hamilton has been arrested, charged with the murder, and is said to have confessed.

Parsons had sold his farm and crops to Hamilton, and it is alleged that the men quarreled over the terms o f the sale.

Parsons and family set out from their former home in a covered wag­on, bound for northern Missouri.

W hole Fam ily Killed.The body of Parsons was found shot

to death, and the mother and three children had been clubbed to death.

Joda Hamilton, the alleged murder­er, is in the Houston jail, strongly guarded to prevent lynching. He is said to have made a complete confes­sion, of which the following is a sum­mary:

O utline of Confession,“ At a timber bordered place in the

road, as Parsons and his family were driving along, they were confronted by Hamilton, armed with a shotgun. Deliberately aiming at Parsons, Ham­ilton discharged both barrels of the gun, and Parsons fell to the ground. Hamilton then advanced upon him and clubbed him over the head with the butt of the gun several times. He then beat the head of the mother al­most to a pulp, and after killing her clubbed the three children to death.

Dumps Bodies Into Creek.The bodies o f all five were then

loaded into a wagon and taken to Big Piney creek, about one mile distant from the scene of the murder, and dumped into the creek.

A party of fishermen from Houston discovered the bodies o f two of the children Saturday about noon. A further search brought to light the bodies of both parents, and word was sent to Houston. The body of the other child was found Sunday.

Rides Stolen Mule.Shortly after noon the news had

been received there Hamilton rode into town on a mule that was recog­nized as one that belonged to Par­sons. He was arrested and locked up in jail. Parsons, who came to Texas county two years ago, from the northern part of Missouri, was a quiet, industrious farmer, and never had trouble of any sort. Hamilton has also been favorably known over the entire county. Hamilton is 20 years old.

Death Due to Severe Cold, Contracted in Adirondack Mountains, Devel­

oping Into Pneumonia.

New York, Oct. 17.— Mrs. Jefferson Davis, widow of the president of the confederacy, who had been ill for a week in this city, died at 10:25 o ’clock Tuesday night. Death was due to pneumonia, induced by a severe cold which Mrs. Davis contracted upon her return from the Adirondacks, where she had spent the summer months.

Although grave fears were felt from the first, Mrs. Davis’ wonderful vital­ity which brought her safely through a similar attack a year ago, gave hope of ultimate recovery until Monday night, when a decided change for the worse was evident and the attending physicians announced that the end was near.

It was then believed that Mrs. Da­vis could not survive the night, but she rallied slightly during the early hours o f Tuesday. Shortly after seven o ’clock Tuesday morning she had a similar spell and Rev. Nathan A Sea- gle, rector of St. Stephen’s Protestant Episcopal church, was hurriedly sum- omned to give religious comfort to the patient in her last moments of consciousness. The clergyman re­mained some time and an hour later it was announced that Mrs. Davis had lapsed into a state of coma. The period of unconsciousness continued to the end.

Kansas Prosecutor Seeks to RecoverFines for Alleged Violations of Law.

Topeka, Kan., Oct. 15.— In the dis­trict court of Shawnee county Satur­day criminal proceedings were begun against the International Harvester Company of America on 50 counts by the filing of papers by Fred S. Jack­son, assistant attorney general of Kansas.

The charge is made in each count that the defendant has entered into an unlawful combination with the In­ternational Harvester Company of New Jersey for the purpose of pre­venting competition and establishing a monopoly in the trade of harvesting and other agricultural implements in Kansas.

All of the counts are based on the exclusive contract feature of the con­tracts issued to agents by the Interna­tional Harvester company. The suit is to recover penalties for the viola­tion of the law that have already oc­curred and not as an ouster from the state. A conviction means a fine of from $100 to $1,000 on each count.

Asserts There N ever Has Been a » Actual Cessation of the T rust, A l­though It Had Changed Its Form U nder New Jersey Laws.

Findlay, O., Oct. 17— Arguments were commenced Tuesday in the case o f the Standard Oil company of Ohio on trial for conspiracy against trade.

Prosecutor David began his argu­ment at ten o ’clock, after two wit­nesses had testified for the state and the defense had closed its case with the submission as evidence of a sin­gle document, the decision of the su­preme court of the state declaring the defendant company “ Not guilty,” in the contempt proceedings of 1900.

Says T rust S till Exist.The prosecutor told the jury that

there never had been an actual cessa­tion o f the Standard Oil trust of 1882, as shown by the evidence, although the form of the organization had been changed.

The defense made its main point that while the evidence showed all the so-called subsidiary companies to be owned by the Standard Oil com ­pany o f New Jersey, n o f one syllable of evidence had been adduced to show that the defendant company was so owned.

Beginning of the End.Mr. Phelps told the jury that the

present was the most important trial ever held, “ it’s the beginning of the end of the trusts in the United States. It is the death knell of the trust.” The Standard Oil trust agreement of 1882, Mr. Phelps said, was responsible for every trust on this continent— it was the original trust. He reviewed the first ten years of this trust until it was ordered to dissolve by the su­preme court of the state. This decis­ion ordering the dissolution was ex­plained to the jury. The first part of it, Mr. Phelps said, was broad. It or­dered the defendant trust from fur­ther performance of the trust con­tract

Outlines Court's Order.If the decision had ended there, he

said, the present trial would not have been neecssary. It was the part o f the decision which followed and went into details as to just what was to be done that had caused the trouble. There were three provisions in this latter part o f the decision, first that the defendant trust was denied the right to recognize the trustees to be the owner of its stock; it was pro­hibited from permitting the trustees from voting the stock, and third pro­hibited from disbursing any dividends through or to the trustees.

These provisions, the same court in the contempt proceedings found had been complied with, although as a matter of fact, the same trustees had gone to New Jersey and perfected an­other organization whereby the same commercial ends were accomplished.

The laws of Ohio require, Mr. Phelps continued, that the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, the owner of these subsidiary companies must com e here and do business in its own name. All that we can require is that it shall cease to defy the law of the state. The evidence, he said, showed beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Valentine law was be­ing violated.

Ottawa, O., Oct. 16.— The case of the state of Ohio vs. the Canton Bridge company, et al., charged with violating the Valentine anti-trust law, was heard Monday before Judge Ogan.

Failing to preesnt any evidence, the court found the constituent companies guilty and fined each ag6nt $500 and costs, and the corporations $50 and costs.

Those fined were Harry Hammong, J. H. Swigart, Simon N. Frozier and W illis Cleveland, and the Canton Bridge company, Mount Vernon Bridge company, Massillon Bridge company, Bellefontaine Bridge com ­pany and Champion Bridge company. The fines were paid immediately.

This Form o f D e b ility in H undreds o f C ases.

“ Four years ago,” says Mrs. F. Mor­rison, o f No. 1922 Carson street, South Side, Pittsburg, Pa., “ I took a cold which turned into the grip. This trouble left me all run down. I was thin, had backache much o f the time, had no ap­petite, my stomach was out o f order and I felt nervous and unstrung. ^

“ W hile I had the grip. I had a doctor, but I really suffered more from the con­dition in which the influenza left me than I did from the disease itself. I felt generally wretched and miserable and the least exposure to cold would make me worse. I couldn’t seem to get any better until I began to take Dr. Williams* Pink Pilte. I very quickly noticed a benefit after I began taking them and they restored me to good health and strength. Dr. W illiam s’ Pink Pills are a wonderfully good medicine. Thanks to them I am now in fine health and have had 110 return o f m y former trouble.I recommend the pills to everyone who is ailing and take every opportunity to let people know how good they are.”

Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs. Morrison because they actually make good, red blood. W hen the blood is red and healthy there can be no debility. The relation between the blood and y nervous system is such that the pills have a very decided action upon the nerves and they have cured many severe nervous disorders, such as partial pa­ralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. V itus’ dance, that have not yielded to ordinary treatment. Their double action, on the blood and on the nerves, makes them an ideal tonic.

All druggists sell Dr. W illiam s’ Pink Pills, or they w ill be sent by mail post­paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. W il­liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N .Y .

Legally H er Husband’s Boss.Boston has one woman who is legal­

ly her husband’s boss. She Is Mrs. Ellor Carlisle Ripley, one of the as­sistant superintendents of the public schools of the city and the wife of Principal Fred H. Ripley, of the Long­fellow school o f Roslindale. Mrs. Rip-^ ley draws some $85 a week of th© hub’s wealth, about $1,500 more per an­num than the man who has recently became her “hubby.” An assistant superintendent is virtually a super­visor and Mrs. Ripley is in reality her husband’s superior and could “ fire” him in a minute if she saw fit. Mrs. Ripley is a young woman of pleasing personality.

Latest Fad in “Society.”The latest fad in certain eastern so­

ciety circles is to be glum and cross. One phase of this more than usually absurd affectation takes the form of ignoring letters of introduction and this lack of consideration has roused family feuds in several cases. One wealthy young Italian, who is a mem­ber of one o f the best Roman families, went to Newport this summer with many letters from prominent persons. But he has found it impossible to pre­sent them. “ It Is foolish to expect anything from social leaders these days and the stranger who asks to be received by letter has a hard time of it,” said a young man whose letter to a society matron was ignored.

Microbe of Gray H air.They have discovered a new m ic­

robe in New York and it is quite popu­lar among actors and society women. It Is called the chromophage, its spe­cial function being to turn the hair gray at a comparatively early age. The handsome actor who has those whit® hairs on his temple that the women admire so is full o f the chromophages. Baldheaded men are immune from the microbes. He only attacks the hair, and a man without hair need not wor­ry about the chromophage. For years it was thought that a process of the blood killed the coloring matter of the hair cells, but scalpologists in New York combat that theory. They say it is the chromophage. The m icrobe does not like heat and for that reason the woman who uses the curling tongs Is less likely to have gray hair than the one who puts her hair up in pa­per*.

A Man of 70 A fte r Finding Coffee Hurl H im , Stopped Short.

W hen a man has lived to be 70 years old with a 40-year-old habit grown to him like a knot on a tree, chances are he’ll stick to the habit till he dies. ^

But occasionally the spirit o f youth and determination remains in some men to the last day o f their lives. When such men do find any habit of life has been doing them harm, they surprise the Oslerites by a degree of will power that is supposed to belong to men under 40 only.

“ I had been a user o f coffee until three years ago— a period of 40 years — and am now 70,” writes a N. Dak. man. “I was extremely nervous and debilitated, and saw plainly that I must make a change.

“ I am thankful to say I had the nerve to quit coffee at once and take on Postum without any dawdling, and experienced no ill effects. On the con­trary, I commenced to gain, losing my V nervousness within two months, also gaining strength and health otherwise.

“For a man o f my age, I am very well and hearty. I sometimes meet persons who have not made their Postum right and don’t like it. But I tell them to boil it long enough, and call their attention to my looks now, and before I used it, that seems con­vincing.

“ Now, when I have writing to do, or long columns of figures to cast up,I feel equal to it and can get through my work without the fagged out feel­ing o f old.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the book, “ The Road to W ellville,” in pkga. “ There’s a reason.”

CH A PTER I I I .—Continued.

"W hy, my dear Virginia—the idea! You don’t know in the least what you are talking about. I have been read­ing in the papers about these right-of- way troubles, and they are perfectly terrible. One report said they were arming the laboring men, and another said the militia might have to be called out.”

“ Well, what o f it?” said Virginia, with all the hardihood o f youth and unknowledge. “ It’s something like a burning building; one doesn’t want to be hard-hearted and rejoice over other people’s misfortunes; but then, if it has to burn, one would like to be there to see.”

Miss Bessie put a stray lock o f the flaxen hair up under its proper comb.

“ I’m sure I prefer California and the orange groves and peace,” she asserted. "D on ’t you, Cousin B illy?”

What Mr. Calvert would have replied Is no matter for this history, since at this precise moment the rajah came in, “ coruscating,” as Virginia put it, from his late encounter with the su­perintendent’s chief clerk.

“ Give .them the word to go, Jastrow, and let’s get out o f heah,” he com­manded. And when the secretary had vanished the Rajah made his explana­tions to ajl and sundry. “ I’ve been obliged in a manneh to change ouh itinerary. Anotheh company is trying to fault us up in Qua’tz Creek canyon, and I am in a meashuh compelled to be on the ground. W e shall be delayed only a few days, I hope; at the worst only' until the first snowstorm comes; and, in the meantime, Califo’nia won’t run away.”

Virginia linked arms with Bessie the flaxen-haired when the wheels began to turn.

“ We are off,” she said. “ Let’s go out on the platform and see the last of Denver.”

It was while they were clinging to the hand-rail and looking back upon the jumble o f railway activities out of which they had just emerged that the Rosemary, gaining headway, overtook another moving train running smooth­ly on a track parallel to that upon which the private car was speeding. It Was the narrow-gauge mountain con­nection of the Utah line, and Winton and Adams were on the rear platform o f the last car. So it chanced that the four o f them were presently waving their adieux across the wind-blown in­terspace. In the midst o f it, or rather at the moment when the Rosemary, gathering speed as the lighter of the two trains, forged ahead, the Rajah came out to light his cigar.

He took in the little tableau o f the rear platforms at a glance, and when the slower train was left behind asked a question o f Virginia.

“ Ah—wasn’t one o f those two the young gentleman who called on you yestehday afternoon, my deah?”

Virginia admitted it."Could you faveh me with his

aam e?”“ He is Mr. Morton P. Adams, o f Bos­

ton.”“ Ah-h; and his friend—the young

gentleman who laid his hand to ouh plow and put the engine on the track last night?”

“ He is Mr. W inton—a— an artist, I believe; at least, that is what I gath­ered from what Mr. Adams said of him .”

Mr. Somerville Darrah laughed, a Blow litle laugh deep in his throat.

“ Bless your innocent soul—he a pic- chuh-painteh? Not in a thousand yeahs, my deah Virginia. He is a rail­road man, and a right good one at that. Faveh me with the name again; WTin- teh, did you say?”

“ No; Winton—Mr. John W inton.” “ D -d-devil!’ gritted the Rajah, smit­

ing the hand-rail with his clenched fist. “ Hah! I beg your pahdon, my deahs— a meah slip o f the tongue.” And then, to the full as savagely, “ By heaven, I top e that train will fly the track and ditch him before ever he comes within ordering distance o f the work in Qua’tz Creek canyon!”

“ Why, Uncle Somerville—how vin­d ictive!” cried Virginia. “ W ho is he, and what has he done?”

“ He is Misteh John W inton, as you Informed me just now; one o f the brainiest constructing engineers in this entiah country, and the hardest man in this or any otheh country to down in a right-of-way fight—that’s who he is. And it’s not what he’s done, my deah Virginia, it’s what he is going to do. I f I can’t get him killed up out o f ouh way,—” but here Mr. Darrah saw the' growing terror in two pairs o f eyes, and realizing that he was committing himself before an unsympathetic au­dience, beat a hasty retreat to his stronghold at the other end o f the Rosemary.

“ W ell!” said the flaxen-hailed Bes­sie, catcheing her breath. But Vir­ginia laughed.

“ I’m glad I’m not Mr. W inton,” she said.

C H A P T E R IV.Morning in the highest highlands o f e Rockies, a morning clear, cold and nse, with a bell-like quality in the oaty air to make the cracking o f a

snow-laden fir bough resound like a pistol shot. For Denver and the dwell­ers on the eastern plain the sun is an hour high; but the hamlet mining camp of Argentine, with its dovecote railway station and two-pronged sid­ing, still lies in the steel blue depths of the canyon shadow.

In a scanty widening o f the main canyon a few hundred yards below the station a graders’ camp of rude slab shelters is turning out its horde o f wild-looking Italians; and on a crooked spur track fronting the shan­ties blue wood smoke is curling lazily upward from the kitchen car of a con­struction train.

All night long the Rosemary, drawn by the speediest o f mountain-climbing locomotives, had stormed onward and upward from the valley of the Grand, through black defiles and around the shrugged shoulders o f the mighty peaks to find a resting-place in the white-robed dawn on the siding at Ar­gentine. The lightest of sleepers, Vir­ginia had awakened when the special was passing through Carbonate; and drawing the berth curtain she had lain for hours watching the solemn proces­sion of cliffs and peaks wheeling in stately and orderly array against the inky background o f sky. Now, in the steel-blue dawn, she was—or thought she was—the first member of the par­ty to dress and steal out upon the railed platform to look abroad upon the wondrous scene in the canyon.

But her reverie, trance-like in its wordless enthusiasm, was presently broken by a voice behind her—the voice, namely, o f Mr. Arthur Jastrow.

“ What a howling wilderness, to be sure, isn’t it?” said the secretary, twirling his eye-glasses by the cord and looking, as he felt, interminably bored.

“ No, Indeed; anything but that,” she retorted, warmly. “ It is grander than anything I ever imagined. I wish there were a piano in the car. It makes“me fairly ache to set it in some form of expression, and music is the only form I know.”

“ I’m glad it it doesn’t bore you,” he

Virginia leaned over -he railing to look past the ear and the dovecote sta­tion, shading her eyes to shut out the snow-blink from the sun-fired peaks.

“ Why, they are soldiers!” she ex­claimed. “ At least, some of them have guns on their shoulders. And see— they are forming in line!”

The secretary adjusted his eye­glasses.

“ By Jove! you are right; they have armed the track force. The new chief o f construction doesn’t mean to take any chances o f being shaken loose by force. Here they come.”

The end of track o f the new line was diagonally across the creek from the Rosemary’s berth and a short pistol shot farther down stream. But to advance it to a point opposite the private car, and to gain the altitude tf the high embankment directly across from the station, the new line turned short out of the main canyon at the mouth o f the intersecting gorge, de­scribing a long, U-shaped curve around the head of the lateral ravine and doubling back upon itself to reenter the canyon proper at the higher ele­vation.

The curve which was the beginning of this U-shaped loop was the morn­ing’s scene of action, and the Utahtrack layers, 200 strong, moved to the front in orderly array, with armed guards as flankers for the hand-car load of rails which the men were push­ing up the grade.

Jastrow darted into the car, and a moment later his place on the observa­tion platform was taken by a wrath­ful industry colonel fresh from hisdressing-room—so fresh, indeed, that he was coatless, hatless, and collarless, and with the dripping bath sponge clutched like a missile to hurl at the impudent invaders on the opposite side o f the canyon.

“ Hah! wouldn’t wait until a man could get into his clothes!” he rasped, apostraphizing the Utah’s new chiefo f construction. “ Jastrow! Faveh meinstantly, seh! Hustle up to the camp there and turn out the constable, town marshal, or whatever he is. Tell him

R E A D IN G T H E W A R R A N T .

rejoined, willing to agree with her for the sake o f prolonging the interview. “ But to me it is nothing more than a dreary wilderness, as I say; a barren, rock-ribbed gulch affording an indif­ferent right-of-way for two railroads.”

“ For one,” she corrected, in a quick upflash of loyalty for her kin.

The secretary shifted his gaze from the mountains to the maiden and smiled. She was exceedingly good to look upon—high-bred, queenly and just now with the fine fire of enthu­siasm to quicken her pulses and to send the rare flush to neck and cheek.

Jastrow, the cold-eyed, the business automaton set to go off with a click at Mr. Somerville Darrah’s touch, had ambitions not automatic. Some day he meant to put the world of business under foot a3 a conqueror, standing triumphant on the apex o f that pyra­mid o f success which the Mr. Somer­ville Darrahs-were so successfully up- rearing. When that day should come, there would need to be an establish­ment, a menage, a queen for the king­dom of success. Summing her up for the hundredth time since the begin­ning of the westward flight, he thought Miss Carteret would fill the require­ments passing well.

But this was a divagation, and he pulled himself back to the askings of the moment, agreeing with her again without reference to his private con­victions.

“ For one, I should have said,” he amended. “ W e mean to have it that way, though an unprejudiced onlooker might be foolish enough to say that there Is a pretty good present pros­pect o f two.”

But Miss Carteret was in a contra­dictory mood. Moreover, she was a woman, and the way to a woman’s confidence does not lie through the neutral country o f easy compliance.

“ If you won’t take the other side, I will,” she said. “ There will be two.”

Jastrow acquiesced a second time.“ I shouldn’t wonder. Our compet­

itor’s road seems to be only a ques­tion of time—a very short time, judg­ing from the number of men turning out In the track gang down yonder.”

I have a writ for him to eerve. Run, seh !”

The secretary appeared and disap­peared like a marionette when the string has been jerked by a vigorous hand, and Virginia smiled—this with­out prejudice to a very acute appre­ciation o f the grave possibilities which were preparing themselves. But hav­ing her share of the militant quality which made her uncle what he is, she stood her ground.

“ Aren’t you afraid you will take cold, Uncle Somerville?” she asked, archly; and the Rajah came suddenly to a sense of his incompleteness and went in to finish his ablutions against the opening of the battle actual.

At first Virginia thought she would follow him. When Mercury Jastrow should return with the officer of tha law there would be trouble <Df some sort, and the woman in her shrank from the witnessing o f it. But at the same instant the blood of the fighting Carterets asserted itself and she re­solved to stay.

“ I wonder what uncle hopes to be able to do?” she mused. “ W ill a little town constable with a bit of signed paper from some justice o f the peace be mighty enough to stop all that fu­rious activity over there? It’s more than incredible.”

From that she fell to watching the activity and the orderly purpose o f it. A length o f steel, with men clustering like bees upon it, would slide from its place on the hand-car to fall with a frosty clang on the cross ties. In­stantly the hammermen would pounce upon it. One would fall upon hands and knees to “ sight” it into place; two others would slide the squeaking truck gauge along its inner edge; a quar­tette, working like the component parts o f a faultless mechanism, would tap the fixing spikes into the wood; and then at a signal a dozen o f the heavy pointed hammers swung aloft and a rhythmic volley o f resounding blows clamped the rail into perat*- nence on its wooden bed.

S tartling Story of a Doll’s Desertion and Final Rescue.

It was growing very dark in the park. Under the big bush where Susy sat the shadows were so black that the policerpan walked past without seeing her. Her little arms hung down very straight, and her big, black eyes looked up to where, be­tween the tree-tops, she could see little twinkling spots all over the sky and a big silver ball with a face in it. Susie was a doll and she had never been out at night before, so she did not know what these beautiful, shiny things were.

A firefly came along and flashed his lantern in her face. Mamma Firefly and he were out hunting for their lit­tle ones. They were very sad, for they were afraid some of the bad children who played in the park evenings had caught them and put them in bottles or killed them.

“ Is that a child?” asked Mamma Firefly, fearfully.

“ No, it’s another victim,” answered Papa Firefly, as he flew away. Susy wondered what he meant.

Then a hop toad came and sat on her feet. She asked him politely to get off, but he wouldn’t. He said she looked exactly like a girl who had poked him with a stick, so he was going to sit on her. He was very friendly and told Susy a lot of things. He said he could only come out at night because the children were so bad. They stoned him and one boy threw him into the fountain. He said he guessed that boy would have some warts soon. He stayed a long time, but after a while, in the tree near them, something began to call— “tu- whoo, tu-whoo, tu-whoo.” The toad trembled, hopped off, and said he guessed he’d better go. Susy wished she could hop so she could go with him.

She wasn’t afraid, and if she could only lie down and shut her eyes she knew she could go to sleep. She won­dered if her dear little mistress had forgotten her. The new nurse had given her a kick under the bush the evening before, and Susy had heard her say to another nurse that Miss Marjory shouldn’t play with that old thing again if she could help it. Susy felt very sad when she thought of this. She was almost sure that her little mistress loved her. But perhaps now that she had a new doll she did not care for her any more. The new doll came from Paris. M arjory’s Uncle Jack had brought it to her. It had lovely golden hair that curled all over its head, pink cheeks and big, blue eyes that would open and shut. It

She Was Dreadfully Frightened.

could say mamma and papa. It had a pretty lace dress, hat, parasol and lit­tle kid shoes. It had turned up its nose— Susy was sure it had— when her little mistress had made them kiss each other the day before.

Susy knew she was getting old and ugly. Her hair was very thin, because Marjory combed and pulled it so much. Her cheeks had lost their pret­ty pink, for she was forced to take many, many baths. She dfd not care for any of these things if only her lit­tle mistress would love her. She had not made herself. If she had she would have golden hair, blue eyes and wear a red silk dress and slippers.

Just then she was dreadfully fright­ened", for a thin, yellow dog caught her up by the neck, shook her, and finding that she was not good to eat, threw her down again. She fell flat, and although there was something hard and round that hurt her back, her eyes shut and she went fast asleep.

The next thing she knew something fine and soft like a feather brush swept over her face, and she heard a clear little voice say “ cheep-cheep.”

“ Oh, Mr. Squirrel!” she cried, “ won’t you please pick me up so I can open my eyes?”

The squirrel put his little, sharp teeth in her dress and propped her up against the bush. She opened her eyes wide. It was morning. The wind was blowing, and the park was full of dancing sunbeams.

“ Well, well, my dear,” said the squirrel, “ I’m glad I did .that for you. Here’s a fine big nut right under your back.” Susy was going to thank him for helping her, but he picked up the nut, frisked his tail and ran up a tree before she could say a word.

She looked across the park. She fenew the house she lived in was over

there somewheret, Just then the door o f the big house opposite opened. A young man carrying a little white fig­ure ran down the steps.

Oh, joy ! It was her little mistress! Her Uncle Jack had her in his arms and they were coming straight to the park. If she could only call, wave her hand or do something to make them see her. But she could only sit still and watch them as they looked under the benches and trees. She heard her little mistress say:

“ Oh, Uncle Jack, I wanshs my Shushy!”

“ Never mind, sweetheart, we’ll find her all right. You must never go off and leave her again this way. I guess that French doll made you forget her.”

“ Hates Fwench d olls!’ ’sobbed her little mistress.

Just then the wind did Susy a good turn. It flapped her white dress, and even waved her little legs in the air.

“ There’s my Shushy, Uncle Jack! Oh, Shushy! Shushy!”

Susy felt moist kisses all over her face, while soft, warm little arms hugged her tightly.

“ Uncle Jack, you kiss Shushy!”And Uncle Jack did.— Anne R. Mc-

of a perfect arch, and, still more, o f a perfect dome, remarked that few peo­ple know how strong an egg is.

In proof of that, he said he purposed placing the egg, without covering of any kind, in such a position that no one could break it with the cannon ball.

The accompanying illustration shows how he did it. Snugly en­sconced in a corner of the room, it was safe from' all the attacks o f the ball, for the sides o f the wall gave it absolute protection.

The Secret of It Lay in Fact T h a t He W as Always Learning.

Half a dozen houses in one neigh­borhood are being freshly painted this spring, and all by the same painter, a quite young man, whose thoroughness and skillfulness has passed into a proverb in the town.

“W e can’t afford not to have him do the work,” one householder had said. “ He is absolutely careful in every de­tail, and he knows his trade perfectly — all the little niceties of it.”

One morning a boy was watching the painter at work, and envying him what seemed such an easy job— “just brushing on some paint,” he told himself. He thought— did that boy—• of a certain slow, “ poky” task of his own, and impatiently wished he could do some simple work like the painter’s.

“ How long does it take to learn that trade?” he inquired, complacently.

“ W ell,” said the busy young painter, as he drew his brush along a particu­larly difficult place, “ they say one can learn it in three years, but I’ve been at it seven years now, and I don’t know what I ought to know about it yet. There’s still lots to learn.”

The painter’s own ideal o f work was always just beyond his own achieve­ment, says Ram’s Horn. In that lay the secret o f his thoroughness, his skill, his success. It is such interest and ambition in one’s work that makes patience easy to keep.

The man who “ knows it all” In three years is not the man for whom the owners of half a dozen houses will wait their turn to have him paint them.
