extreme. A panic in Wall street might
reduce his fortune one-half. Gould has
practically retired. His health is not

Rockefeller s fortune probably yields,
at It's estimated value, 5 per cent. Van

Inasmuch as many of the stocks and

sleeves in these dresses are straight and

happy compromise between extremes.

"SOme people seem to be Mortified
when they hear of corn being used for
fuel, said Frank c. Walker, of Man
haitian, Kan. "Now, if corn is cheaper
than coal, what possible objection can
there be to using it for fuel? A Kansas
farmer can get 10 cents for bushe1 of
corn. Let US see, that is $3.50 for a
ton. To get that he may have to haul
his corn six or eight miles to market.
If he buys coal he will pay from 81 to
s. ton and haul it the six or eight
miles back home. The matter simply
comes down to the question of how he
can get the most effective fuel for a
dollar. You could hardly expect a
farmer to pay a bonus in order that he
might burn coal if he could get the
heat some other way. Corn at 50. 20 a
ton is cheaper fuel than coal at 50 a
ton, aud, besides, 1t has in its favor the
fact that the farmer has the corn at
home. There is no more reason for an
objection to burning corn than there is
to burning wood.

AITCH is the name of a postofice in
Huntington County, Pennsylvania.
The origin of its name is somewhat
curious. However, it arises from civil
lied sources. There were five pros
porous farmers in that portion of the
country where the postofice is now,
and their names were Anderson, Isen-
burg, Taylor, Crum, and Henderson.
Each of them wished the Office to be
named after himself. But they could
not come to an agreement, and finally,
as a compromise, the first letter from
each name was taken and placed to-
gether, and thereby originated -Aitch.

which was popularity attached to his
