JuiS A'p".
WV. S. THoMAs,--DEAR SlR:-I was
much pleased in reading your expose OF the
Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis Rrllroad,
in the Chicago Rail,cay Reriew, and am
sorry il was not made in that way long ago.
When the pamphlet was first published 1t
would have been better if all Of US who knew
the facts had published them in the news.
papers, instead Of simply speaking of it as q
humbug and advising everybody who asked
us about it to let the tbonds alone, but at
that time nobody thought the public would
be so easily humbugged.
see that the Rock Island Angus calls
| upon the Company 10 refute your statements
and prove them 10 be without foundation
The ARGUS did not probably know how big
q Job it wanted the Company to undertake,
for everybody at the organization knows you
| did not even tell the whole truth. You might
| have stated that receipts or certificates for
stock were given to all the subscribers with
| out paying dollar or making sny pretense
| of payment, except that some of them gave
their checks PAYABLE to their own orders
which they did not endorse, 1t is perhaps
| however, as well that you left it as you did
for all you are called on to do is, to get rid
of all responsibility to the public on account
of the pamphlet. 1t is to be regretted that
the Company was organized as it wns, al
though it was done merely TO see whether
the c. & N. ". f. r. Co, could be induced
to take hold of the matter, and If it could, all
expected to make their subscriptions good
bv acquiring title to the old Sterling aud
Rock Island road bed, and transferring it &c
the Company. That, however, is passed
and YOU are doing the best that can be done
Should the Company take the advice of the
ARGUS. and try to prove your statements
false, will take pleasure IN corroborating
with nv testimony all you have said, except
about the coal lands with which am not
well acquainted, for also was one of the
corporators and commissioners, and at one
time director of the Company. You car
use this letter in any way you choose, or
will make an sffadsvt if it becomes neces
sary.

RALPH SAGE.

tec,ed in watching people drop letters into
the box, so that they could keep track of
correspondence, and that they have been

other information they could have no bust

on good authority. If we remember right

office people of such very bad habits. We
hope these few hints will cure them.

lieve that with his freedom he was to re-
Ceive forty acres Of land and a mule. an
piled to the head Carpet-baggerOf freed
mems bureau for his ticket to vote. his
mule, and the title to his real estate.
wheresOever it might be. He voted the
ticket given him, and was given four
little sharpened stakes, two feet IOnr-
painted like young barber-DOIes. and
told to select his forty acres anywhere
For this certificate of freedom, he was
asked ten dollars by the agent. But the,
daTkey had but four dollars and seventy
five cents. SO the loyal keeper of the
new men and brothers compromised for
this amount and the brushing Of his
clothes and boots.
After the work was finished and the
money paid, the agent gave him the
sticks or stakes, and a receipt for the
pre-empton money, to show in case
there should be any trouble about IOca-
ting the land.
The darkey found on n plantation near
by, forty acres, more or less, and drove
his stakes. The owner came out to know
why these things were thus, when the
darkey told him il was all right, that nc
purchased the land of the Government.

All About Printing.

MOVABLE type were nOtused until the
fifteenth century.
Books were printed by the Chinese and
other Eastern nations from engraved
books long before the invention Of type.
The tirsttypes We're of wood. The same
material is still much used for the larger
varieties of letters.
Johannes GuttenbuTg is generally be-
lleyed to have been the first to manufac-
ture movable type,
An edition Of DOnatus was the first
book printed from movable types.
The finest letters were characters imi-
tating handwriting. Printing was in
trOduced into Paris in l74O; into Lon
don years later.
Roman type was first made in 1465.-
Italic about the year 1900.
Type founding was part of the busi-
ness Of a printer, and was declared dis
tinct art by a decree of the Star Cham
Der in 1877.
The largest size Of type used for books
is Great Primer; and the smaller sizes
are English Plea, Small Plea, Long
Primer, Bourgeois, AtiniOn, NOnpaTeil,
Agate, Pearl, Diamond and Brilliant.
Pearl is the smallest type found in or
dinary printing offices.

ting advertisements in any American
newspaper. 1t is in favor with those pa
pers, which from their large editions
and the great demand for their columns,
are neCessitated to ecOnOmiZe space.
The type in most general use for ad-
vertisements is NOnpareil and MiniOn.
Those papers which use a larger size are
generally Il poorer class for whose ad-
vertising columns there islittle demand.
In America printers are paid by the
LOCO ems m, as EN- being equivalent
to about two letters. In England the
matter is measured 1000 rs,

distribute about 5000 ems a day of ten
hours. Several of the New York papers
are printed from stereotype plates, Which
are prepared with great Tapidity and
melted over for use again in printing the
next edition. So rapidly is this work
performed that in some instances forms
have been got ready for the press i'm
twenty minutes after the last page had
been given to the Sterotyper.
The hand press was invented i'm 1850
and is sJill used, without any important
Improvement, in the majority of the
country offices.

The first newspaper ever printed by
steam was the London Times of NOvem-
5er Sth, 1914.
Hand presses are still used in large of |
fees where very fine and perfect work
IS required.
The Hoe press was patented July, |
1917, and is Indispensable 10 all newspa-

Phonography was invented by Isaac
