One of the things to help ma,
terially to build up q town Is small
industries. Of course, large ones
are not to be ignored, but it is
easier to start Il moderate factory
or workshop than to INACCURATE Il
two or three hundred thousand
dollar industry, for people should
shape their thoughts and projects
as well to The smaller aS the lar.

the manufacturers the more life

be neglected.; but encourage and
foster them Is the sure Foundation

Mr.. Frank LAWYERS Ancient Ancestry.

Mr.. Frank LAWYERS Ancient Ancestry.
Congressman Frank Lawler, of
Chicago is Il man of the people. He
has me- particular love for those
who lean back ON their dignity and
brag about he prominence Of their
ancestors, Mr.. LAWYER has climbed
up to Il position in Congress from
the lowest ronndS of the social lad
der. He has beer I. laborer, a ler-
ter carrier, keeper of an intluen
tial gin mill, ward politician, a
Chicago alderman,and Il Congress
man successfully. He is one Of the
best hearted men in the world and
is always ready TO do IL kind ac'
tor il friend. Mr.. LAWYER once had
occasion to call OH Secretary Endi
colt, and lie found that gentleman
surrounded by u frozen halo which
displeaScd him. Mr.. Endlcott APP
peared TO be somewhat bored by
the persisrency of the member OF
the legislative branch Of the gov
eminent, and WAS not at alldiSpoSed
TO pay much attention to him.
LaWltr stuck to him, however, and
at last gained his point. After that
the august Secretary thawed our
Somew hat toward the Congress-
man, and proceeded to give him IL
few points on The history of Massa.
chnsetts. especially on the Eudlcott
family. He spoke of the glories OF
the old Colonial days, and inclden
tally mentioned that his ancestors
were among the foremost in Massa-
clusetlS. Warming up to his theme
and this Is about the only sub
jet that will warm him-he pro
cceded to trace the family back un-
til he had passed down to where
the .AdamScS first arose on the
genealogical horizon, and wound
BY saying:
"Why, Mr.. Lawlpr. we have sue.
ceeded intracing he Endicott fam
lily back TO the earliest stage of
the Norman Conquest of England.
In fact. the Endicosts were known
before William the Copqueror was
heard of"
William the Conqueror the
blank" replied Mr. LawIcr. door.
ing the paS'h summer, whin my leg
i>latlve dooties have not been so
pressing. have paid "a good deal
If attintion to he airly history of
the LAWYER family. William the
Conquciol! Why. he's nowhere.
! found that the LAWYERS were Il
prominent family on earth even
uefore the food"
To say that Mr.. Endicott was
aStoniShed wonld scarcely express
his feelings. He almost gasped
for breath. bnt ar length a happy
thonghr struck him.
"Mr. Lawler." said he with With
rllng scOrn in his voice. "if yon
can trace the LawlerS back before
& lie food, how Is it that We never
Heard anything of the family in
the Ark7"
For moment, and for a moment
only, the Chicago man hesitated.
