has just lost his big mills by fire, "said
the Ohio passenger, ''and an odder
little man you never saw. He's q
German, of course, about sixty years
old, about as big as a grasshopper
and just as lively, talks Dutchy, and
writes the most vigorous English, hates
whisky and beer as he does liar, and
works sixteen hours day. He came
to this country as poor as a. church
mouse, started little grocery and
beer saloon, ran that awhile, and then
began making oatmeal by hand-mill
in his woodshed. Finally he sold his
saloon, peddled out meal and farina
from O hand.cart, which he wheeled
about town himself, and in thirty
years built up the largest factory OF
that kind in the world. He won't hire
a man in any capacity who drinks
whisky or even beer, and has about
him several hundred employees, who
are mostly Germans, and strange to
say, Jealous prohibitionists like him
self. He once brought over from Ger

salary, his expenses being guaranteed.
The second day after he began work
Schumacher learned that he was a
beer drinker. In two hours the work
man left the mills never to return, and
with a check for nearly $4,000 in his
pocket. This was the price Schumacher
had paid for upholding his principles
and enforcing his rules to the very let

Edmund Kcan.

On the Goth Of January, 1914, an
obscure country actor, named Ed
mund kean, who had been engaged in
sheer desperation, very model of q
srro|lins player, shabby, almost shoe
less, whom the mediocrities treated at
rehearsal with unconcealed contempt,
appeared at Drury-Lane as Shylock to
an indifferent and half-flled house,
but when the curtain fell upon the
fourth act it was upon such burst OF
wild enthusiasm as had not been heard
since the night Siddons played Isa-
bella for the first time before q London
audience. The next day all London
was ringing with the fame OF the new
actor Richard was his next imper-
sonation. "Just returned from seeing
Kean III 'Richard,'" wrote Byron in
his diary. "By Jove, he is a soul!
Life, nature, truth, without exaggera-
ton or diminution." Coleridge said
it was reading Shakespeare by flashes
of lightning. The receipts rose from
9lOO to 5000 nightly. After his third
appearance Whitehead raised his sal
ary from 9S to EGO. One week the
committee presented him with slOO,
the next with $500, while splendid
presents flowed in upon him from all
sides. Society fawned upon him, flat.

years he sustained the fortunes OF
Drury-Lane upon his own shoulders;
rivals rose up, fine actors, but all paled
before the splendor of his overwhelm-

and sent forward, suddenly found his
command the only reserve or sup
porting force to brigade engaged in
his front and which was fast breaking
to the rear The stream of wounded
and stragglers, with direful reports
from the front, made his new men
nervous and distracted their thoughts
They had been recruited largely in the
towns along the Erie Canal. The Or
der came to move forward under fire
and engage the enemy. With many
n1isgivings, not unwarranted, rs to
the result he put the line in motion,
and, in spite OF his utmost efforts,
saw it bend, waver, and partially sep.
arate. just then two enormous
elongated percussion shells struck the
ground about 20 yards III front, and,
without exploding, bounded over his
regiment with the most terrible whir-
ring sound imaginable. OF course
every man stopped and ducked his
head almost to the ground. He felt
sure the line would go to pieces. But
at that instant some canal boy with
native drawl sang outflow bridget"
The effect was almost magical. Glow

cheers and laughter from one end to
the other. The regiment assumed it's

The Danger That Lies in DIM
pie DeeD.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.
The one woman in New York who is
favored by fortune in the respect of
beautiful dimples above all her sisters
is Mrs. Florence Rice-Knox, the singer.
Her fair, round face when she laughs
or smiles shows IL number of deep
dimples about her mouth and in either
cheek which add greatly to her beauty
and cause much envy among her as
sociates. Why or how dimples in a.
woman's face can be subject to the
caprices OF fashion is a question not
easily. decided, but certain it is that
they play their part upon the stage
for q generation or two and then dis
appear almose entirely for" a decade.
Fifty years ago dimples were one OF
the requisites CT perfect beauty, but
they are rarely seen now Perhaps
this is we'll, for, alack! there lies more
peril in one dirnple than in twenty
swords and the word is wicked enough
as it is. There have been efforts at
various times to produce artificial
dimples by various processes, but
with little success. There is no charm
except about the genuine, laughing,
changing, come-and-go dimple Of ye
olden time. ...sss <. s..s3@s 3.@5.
