Tho golden anniversary Of tho business
career of Mr. John P. Lowell, one Of Boston's
most widely-known business men, was ap-
propriately celebrated in that city recently
Speaking Of Mr.. Lovelrs career. which
might.well "point moral and adorn TALE l"
tho Tt!rf, Field and Farm says:
John P. Lowell was boz born in East Brain
tree Mass, July 25, 1920. At the age OF
eleven he left school and went to work in
cotton factory. One year later his mother
opened O boarding house in Boston and John
had another year OF schooling. With this
scant equipment, but with IN indomitable
determination to succeed in life, the boy OF
thirteen entered into the arena Of ife's
battle.
sThe years that followed witnessed the lad
making noble fight against the dis
advantages with which he was surrounded.
After on eventful life in various lines of
trade he settled down to the gunsmith
business in the employ of 4. B. Fairbanks
to whom he became apprenticed at weekly
salary Of g. with $25 yearly allowance for
clothes, and q raise Of fifty cents per week
and $40 per year additional clothing allow
ance for each succeeding year until the age
Of twenty-one.
.'The qualities which in later years de-
veloped the man Of large enterprise and un-
swerving integrity took firm root in the gun
smith boy, and Mr.. Fairbanks was so graft.
fed with his success that, when John was
twenty years Of age, the old gentleman
voluntarily took him in as partner with ono
half interest. At this time John had not
dollar in the world
"Thus, fifty years ago, was formed the Arm
which to-day is represented by tho great
house Of John p. Lowell Arms Co, whose
business radia:es throughout the world.
Johns profit for the first year was 500. In
1S41 Mr.. Fairbanks died and Leonard Grover
entering the firm became Grover q Lowell.
In 1S44 John p. Lowell bought out his part
ners share and with renewed zeal pushed
his business toward the high mark OF sue
cess which he had set before himself in his
youth. As the years sped by, his name and
fame Travelled from city to city. Through
the ranks of the sporting goods dealers Of
America he hcwed his way from thelowest to
the highest place Of success, until with honest
pride he folt his feet securely planted on the
high ground to which in boyhood days, when
Door and unknown, his ambition had aspired.
His family had grown up around him IN the
intervening years, ami he now behold his
sons, developed into men ready to assist him
in his old age to carry to further success
the enterprise begun years before.
''In 1874 the business was removed to the
present spacious buildings in Boston which
arc located in the business centre of the city.
Here daily may be seen John P. Lowell, no
longer the young mau whose steps are elastic
in the pursuit Of lofty ambitions, but John
P. Lowell the man Of years. who has trodden
lifes pathway through both tho bitter and
the sweet, and has emerged from its shadows
and contests, man of success both IN the
development Of wealth and OF character"

WHO BUILD THE LIQUOR PALACES!

In paper presented to the Twentieth An
nual Con Tention of the Catholic Total Absti-
nence Union OF America, Mr.. T.V, Powderly
said:
before the delegates to this convention
separate to 20 to their homes, would ask
them to 90 on foot through the streets. OF

ton os they 90. They will see handsome
buildings devoted to the sale Of liquor on the
principal streets, and il they estimate the
cost Of one Of these buildings they win learn
that it runs away up into the thousands, Tar
above the reach Of the workingman's income
On one of the streets Of Pittsburg will be
seen saloon, the plate-glass front Of which
Is worth $4,000, the lar and fixtures arc
worth s1O 900, the paintings and other decora-
atoms are valued at $1,000. All Of this -

and Of the plot Of ground on which IL STANDS.
Stand guard at the door for twenty-four
hours, and thousands Of men will be seen
passing in and out. OF the number, nine
fenths will wear the garb of labor; they will
be- the workers in the mill and factories that
make Pittsburg famous and foremost in the
history of manufacture in the United States.
Follow one Of these men to his home ana
contrast its appearance, condition and sur
roundings with the palace he stopped at on
his way home, and not one lota Of semblance
will been seen. Inquire If he owns the
house he lives in, and it is more than likely
that the answer will be in the negative. ASK
him why he cannot afford to live in a better
or more comfortable home, and his reply
will he: .I cannot afford it," Take WALK
through the entire city and it will be seen!
that the palaces in which liquor IS sold are
costly and we'll furnished, while the homes
of the toilers are cheap and poorly furnished:
Go still further and it will be discovered tnas

THE MEMORABLE FACTS OF HEaEDrrY.


81 have drank whisky every day for thirty
five years." remarked gentleman Of sixty.
rather proudly, 'and don't see but I have
as good constitution as the average man OF
my age; never was drunk in my life" He
was telling the truth, but to learn the whols
truth you would have to study his children.
Toe Oldest, ayoung Lady, had perfect health;
the second, young man, was OF remark-
ably nervous and excioable temperament, as
differect from bis phlegmatic father as pos.
sible; the third, young lady Of seventeen,
was cpileptic and always had very poor
health. Did the fathers whisky drinking
have anything to do with these facts9 The
instance may be duplicated in almost every
community. Think over the families OF your
acquaintance in which the father has long
been moderate drinker, and observe the
facts as to the health Of the children. The
superintendent of hospital for children at
Berne, Switzerland, has found by careful
observation, that only forty-fye per cent. OF
those whose parents used Intoxicating liquors
habitually had good constitutions, while
eighty-two per cent of the children Of tenn
perate parents had sound bodies. OF the
children of inebriates only six per cent: were
healthy. Can any man drink and take the
consequences" or must his children take the
:onsequencss?-The Voice.

Prey of the jungle.

The latest official statistics from India
show that in 1889 22,970 were killed by
snakes and wild beasts, as well as 1921
cattle. OF the former number 20, 81 deaths
were due to snake bites, 975 to tigers, 1874 to
eopards, 130 to wolves, ITO to bears 81
to elephants, and the remain der to dogs,
crocodile5 and other animals. The remark
able fact of these statistics Is that, although
every effort is being made to destroy snakes
and ether animals Injurious to human life,
tho mortality, both of persons and cattle,
from these causes of death is increasing. In
1888 90, 7O9 wild beasts were destroyed and
5ll, ,94S snakes.
The local Governments of India have just
been consulted on the question whether moth
ing can be done to diminish the terrible NOR
taIity due to snake bites The general opinion
in India is that the efforts to reduce this NOR
tality by offering rewards for snakes killed
has failed, and in some localities has even slim
lated the breeding Of snakes. Some Of the
local Governments express the opinion that
tie most effective way to check the evil will
bo to destroy the cover for the snakes near
tho villages aad this experiment will be
tried. The provinces most seriously affected
ara Bengal Ouhd, and the northwest pro-
vinces.
