A MAN WHO GETS A BIG SALARY

An Engineer Whose Annual Income
Equals That of the President.
A gray haired man of possibly SO OF
60 years, Of medium height, rather ro-
tund in build and possessor Of a pair
of beady black eyes, took n pen in his
chubby hand and indited, "A. Bon
Lano, Phoenix, Pa, " on the register at
the Gibson hotel. He seemed to be
simply aud solely a well TO do business
man who had come to the city to trans
act business, and by his nervously quick
manner a casual observer might think
that he would do bis business briskly
and shake the mud Of Cincinnati from
his feet as soon as possible. Now who
was he, this Bonzanol
The richest salaried man in America,
outside possibly the president of this
great and growing nation.
He is merely an ''employe' of an
iron company, Of Phoenix, Pa, and a
civ. engineer. Here in the west we
know not Bonzauo. as he IS in the east,
bat nevertheless the men with capital
out here. who are backing up great
bridge projects with their sponduliI,
are gradually coming 10 realize the al
most absolute necessity of having Al
phonse Bonzano look first into the
project and then give his very valuable
professional opinion concerning the
feasibility Of said project. Now a. 10

night

This is al the old man has ever been
heard 10 say on that apparently deli
rate subject, but there are at least two
men in this city who should know what
the salary of this wonderful old man il
annually. The reporter met them and
requested accurate information on the
subject. The answer was simply stu
pendous They replied almost in the
same voice:
About $50, 600 a year"
The answer may sound more like al.
ex~aggeration, TO draw it mildly, than a
solid fact, but Almost any civil engineer
Of your acquaintance, precious reader,
will verify this incontrovertible fact
They say-that is, those who know him
say Of BonzanO;
He is a man who loves his home
and family, trusts his God, helps the
needy in distress, and does his work
more accurately and quickly than any
other man Of his kind in America" ~

A few days before the election in the
Oswestry division of the county Of
Salop, a pOstman, a farm labOrer and
the blacksmith CHANGED to meet at the
blacksmith's shop at Montford's bridge,
and the talk was of course about the
election that was drawing near.
''Well," said the blacksmith, 'how

Macbeth's "pearl top" and

Macbeth's pearl top and
"pearl glass lamp-chimneys
are made of tough glass that
costs four times as much as
common glass; and the work
on them costs a good deal
more than the work on COM
mon chimneys, just as the
work on a dress is proper
toned to cost of stuff.
The dealer is right in saying
he can't afford to sell them at
the prices Of common glass
chimneys.
And what will become of
his chimney trade if his Chin
neys never break He is apt
to be wrong there. He can
afford to charge a fair price
and give new chimneys for all
that break in use.
Have a talk with him.

known and rarely spoken of. is the
Death Valley OF Inyo county, in many
respects the most remarkable of them

hemmed in on MI sides by titanic rocks
and mountains whose very impress is
that OF eternal dcsola,ion, and You
have n fair idea of Death Valley.
Geographically It Is tho sink of tho
Amargosa river, which is quite n
marvel In itself. It rises in tho West.
ern Sisrras about two miles from tho
California line, and flows southwark
ninety miles, when II disappears from
sight In the bed Of mn ancient lake Mt tho
foot OF the Resting Spring Mountains.
A little further south 1t reappears and
continues another sixty miles. when it
again returns to its su6terruneau chan
mel. Still again 1t reappears, and
flows northwest nearly 100 miles, when
IT finally disappears in the sink of
the Death Valley; quite remarkable

1925 degrees week after week. No
moisture ever falls TO cool the burning

Such Is a brief description of the most
remarkable valley in America. Popu-

RELIe Or a PAST GENERATION.


The oldest inhabitant Of Rhode Isl
and. who had beeh backing lot o !
local history slowly about the wood !,
and pastures at Potter's Hill. met death
In cruel way one afternoon recently.
says Westerly correspondent Of the
N. Y. Sun. On that day Harvey C.
Burdick was swinging a sharp brush
knife in the bushes Of wild 'sprout land,
and accidentally hit something hard
and something hollow. lie had cleft a
very big, old fashioned, and handsome
box turtle. and shell roof was taken
completely on the old fellows house.
The shell was wrinkled. old looking.
and parti-colored. Mr.. Burdick ex-
amined the turtle closely. On tho bot.
tom shell. near and below the joint.
were the figures l776. and right above
was the time worn. inscription. j. p.
On lower part OF the shell, and still
more worn, were repeated tho letters.
J. p. and near them the figures. 1906.
MIR. Burdick recognized the turtle at
once, and was sorry he had cut It up.
for 1t was the best-known turtle In
Rhode Island. Scores Of farmers had
met It at different times wandering
about the fields Of southern Rhode Isl.
aud. and no one tried to harm It. II
was known as J. P.'s turtle. Like tho
wandering jew It was always moving
on. had seen many generations Of
Rhode Island people pass away. yet in
hundred years had not seemed to
grow very old. and was still vigorous
and we'll.
The letters j. p, on the shell. were
the initials Of Joseph Potter's name.
after whom the hill village was named.
and who was the grandfather Of Miss
Marin l.. Potter Of Potter's Hill and
Joseph II. Potter Of Westerly. Joseph
Potter was II years old. and the turtle
matured animal when he cut the first
figures, 1776, In the turtles shell, and
he was AZ years old when he added tho
other date, 1906. Joseph was born in
1853 and died In 1922. No ono at
tempts to say just how Old the turtle
was but 1t Is quite likely 1t was pad

Philip. with his painted Indians in tho
