ONE of the heaviest failures that ever oc :
CURED in this country was that of Mr.. Nc
Geoch of Milwaukee, the speculator in lard.
1t involved nearly six millions of dollars in
liabilities, and although it happened only a
month ago, the estate has been settled ex-
cept in regard to some goods due to it, but
not yet deliverable under the contracts. The
cost of settling it has been about twenty
thousand dollars, and it was done by the
merchants interested without advice of
counsel. The courts we're ignored and both
the laws delays and the laws costs have
been avoided. This is in sharp contrast with
the condition of things in the Sprague bank
ruptcy case. This failure occurred about
ten years ago and the estate is still in litiga-
ton, the creditors having received neither
principal nor interest. 1t has been bonan-
"a for the lawyers. The circumstances of
the two cases were very different, however,
and the Western case was much the simpler
one to deal with. But scores of cases which
might be quickly settled up in business
like way are not and nothing In money or
satisfaction is gained.

Incidents in the Life OF the Late Ginery
Twichell
In 1910 Maj. Houghton, proprietor of the
Boston Atlas newspaper, engaged Mr.. Twich-
ell to collect the votes of the State on the
day of election, so that they could be pub
lished in his paper on the following morn
ing This feat, which was regarded by many
as impossible, Mr.. Twichell accomplished
by having the returns brought by assistants
with relays of horses, from every town of
the State to central route. This. was
yearly done for 10 years. Ga one occasion,
after voting in Worcester and riding to
Greenfield, distance of SIS miles, where he
was to receive returns in person, he found
that his messengers from Williamstown,
Adams and the northwestern pant of The
State, delayed by the bad weather and tray
cling, had been unable to leave Greenfield
until two hours after the appointed time.
Mr.. Twicbell rode to Worcester in the face
of an easterly storm, but arrived 10 minutes
after the engine, which started at the hour
appointed, had left He pushed forward on
horseback As miles farther, and reached
Boston in season for his dispatches to APP
pear in the morning Atlas. Another re-
markable feat was performed by Mr.. Twich-
ell in 1916. The leading newspapers of
New York were eager to secure dispatches
expected TO arrive at Boston by the foreign
steamers in January of that year. The Her
aid made arrangements to carry its own
dispatches from Boston to Norwich by
railroad, thence py boat to Long Island,
and across the island by mail to
New York city. The Tribune and other
papers of New York and Philadelphia being
excluded by the Herald from participating
ia its arrangements with the railroad and
steamboat companies on this route EN-
ployed Mr.. Twichell, who was obliged to use
horses for most of the distance. He could
obtain an engine to iun from Boston to
Worcester only on condition of its being Is

Worcester to Hartford, distance of 66
miles, he rode on horseback through deep
snow in the remarkably short time of three
hours and 20 minutes; thence from Hart
ford to New Haven, by railroad, SO miles
from New Haven to New York rs miles, by
horses; and reached New York city in sea-
son for the printing of the dispatches before
the arrival of those of the Herald. Mr..

disguise the fact that their bold work is
causing families great anxiety, and 1t is not
strange that ladies are timid about being left
alone in their houses. Already the proprie-
ty of some citizens organization to rein

public sentiment on the matter becomes
more indignant daily, as it ought to do.
While every morning brings its record of
new exploits by the criminals infesting the
city, no householder can feel secure, and a
conviction that II is necessary to resort to
extraordinary measures is spreading. Our
policemen are few and their beats are long.
If the force cannot be increased In this
emergency, neighbors will be compelled to
employ private watchmen. This can be
done at no great expense if all on a street
who feel the need of greater protection
will unite. Such private organizations ought
to be composed of persons living on one
street so that the Waterman employed will
not have to go out of view of the property
he is guarding.

In the article from the Nation on the

about. Some of the most popular resorts on

the profitable business for railway and steam

SENATOR MORGAN Of Alabama says the
South does not look with much favor upon
"the old tickep-itis too old. The young
men regard Mr.. Tilden as one whose day
has gone by. Of Mr.. Bayard, on the other
hand, he thinks his time has not yet come.
Mcdonald is the man for the boys, the
idol OF the hour" Mr. Bayard may be
nominated and triumphantly elected some
time; but "the Democratic party has yet to
gather to its fold the more conservative ele
ment which will be ready to recognize sig
nal ability in candidate" Yes, that is SO.
and until the Democratic party gathers to
itself as much sense as that 1t will not be
wise or safe to give it control of the destiny
of the republic. Mcdonald is not a man of
signal ability and Tilden is man of signal
disability. 1t may be acknowledged that
Mr.. Bayard is their superior at this time
without conceding that he is such man in
political principles and aims as ought to be
President. The distinguished ability of the
Democratic party has fatal fault or it
would not stay in that crowd.

To GET RID OF RATs.-I shall be glad

rats. l lived twenty years in an old
country house. and on three separate
occasions had an invasion of rats-not
single rat, but colony each time. The
first time and the first notice of them was
fiutter in the pigeon loft, and on going
to see found eight rats in full pursuit.
| got steel traps, etc.. and caught several,
but no dimunition was perceptible, there
was such a quantity about the place.
then tried the following experiment: !
got box trap and, after deal of trou BILE
and patience, caught II rat, and, getting
his tail under the door, tied a string TO it,
then pulled him out. and shaking him
til he hung quietly head down, caught
him with my finger and thumb by the
buck of the neck, and cut off the string.
next painted him all over with gas tar,
except the head which must not be touch
ed. This is essential. When had put
as much tar upon him as l could get to
stick, took him to his hole, and let him
run in, and saw no more of either him or
his companions for that time, till fresh
colony came some years after, which was
banished the same way. Care must be
not to hurt him, and if tar gets on his
eyes mouth, or nose, you must kill him
and get another, as he must be able to run
through all the holes in the house. l
