WANAMAKER.s AMRITION.

John Wanamaker the successful
Philadelphia store-keeper, is an am
bitious man, and he seems likely to
succeed as well as did Lord Rosebery,
who started I'm life to win the Derby
marry an heiress and become premier
OF England Rosebery succeeded in
attaining all these objects, though not
exactly in rotation. He first married,
as was doubtless necessary to carry
out his other schemes, a daughter OF
the house Of Rothschid. He then,
through the favor OF Gladstone, the
grand old man whom England wor-
ships, became premier of Great Brit
ain, and then, last Of all, won the
Derby"
With this final triumph, Rosebery
seemed to lose his hold upon the Brit
ish people, and his career became less
successful But we do not wish TO
discourage Mr.. Wanamaker by reciting
this fact. His star is in the ascendant,
and certainly it will never be dimmed
by horse racing proclivities, for he is
a man of a different stamp, and he did
not have to marry an heiress TO get
his start in the world It is said that
he has long been ambitious TO extend
his business to New York and become
the successor of the greatest merchant
prince that city has ever known. so
far this ambition has been gratifed,
and he is now the successor of A. T..
Stewart.
This accomplished. Mr.. Wanamaker
has fairly launched his senatorial cam
paign. But as the people of Philadel-
phia are supposed to know all about
this wonderfully successful man. we
quote from the Times of that city
briefly, as follows: "a candidacy OF
such strength I'm itself and SO strongly
backed becomes formidable from the
outset. Mr.. Wanamakers great abil-
ity, his public experience, his practical
knowledge of public issues and wants
his power OF impressing himself anC
his ideas. all mark him as conspicu
ously fitted for a representative posi-
tion. In the recent campaign he wen
widely over the state and came intC
personal contact with large masses o
the people. Everywhere known be.

made deep, direct impression by hii
earnest and forceful speeches, and h
now personal and familiar figure II

OF course Mr.. Wanamaker is not t

was a bitter quarrel among the Penn
sylyania Republicans, some OF whom
proceeded to compromise the affair b,

to certain men. IL was understood II

Why the Beaver and the King of Beasts
ReADeCtod the Deg.

Why the Beaver and the King of Beasts
Respected the Deg.
One day in a forest a lion, beaver
and a dog met in council. They eac5
began telling their especial virtues,
writes James Marion Brannin in an
exchange.
e. said the lion, lam the king of
all beasts. By the power of my strength
I rule all others. With a stroke of my
paw the OK falls stunned. Man trembles
with terror at the sight of me-"
"And IT, said the beaver, ''am more
to be commended. No patient OK nor
wise man has ever received harm from
me. I have learned a better way. By
industry do I live. I hew tall trees and
build great barns and wonderful
houses. I need neither cowardly theft
nor cruel murder to make myself pow
erful."
The dog, who had been accidentally
cast with the others, now spoke:
Neither do kill nor build. 1 am one
hated by my fellow creatures. But, de-
spite this, can love and show graft
tude and affection. I will stick to my
master through all trials; I will risk
my life to save his; will never murmur
under i'll treatment, and can be Of much
use to him when he is in need. Is this
not to be preferred to industry or
va1or? Is not fidelity a far more beau
tiful virtue?''
The mighty monarch and the humble
toiler looked with wonder at the hated
animal and the lion strobe off. saying,
'tIs not sacrifice for others better than
selfish theft?'
Then the beaver left, with these
word: els it not better to be patient
than to be able to hew mighty trees %
And the dog said to himself: rs 1t
not better to suffer ills that cannot be
avoided than to cause other ills to come
to pass?''

July has the smallest Indebtedness, with

While it is a fact that 5000, S23 23 looks
to be large amount for population
like Reno county, yet with the crop of
corn raisedin old Reno this year estimated
at only 10 cents per bushsl, that mortgage
indebtedness could be paid off in advance
and still have over 100000 left to tide
over until another crop was raised, aud

corn, alfalfa and every other abundant
crop which this same mortgaged property

An ingenious device for attracting

nearby town Instead of ordinary plate
glass a large number of rough magnify

through one of these panes an orange

a1o.s for Patent Leather.

The following is French recipe for
preserving the gloss of patent leather:
Melt pure wax over a water bath, place
on a moderate coal fire, add first some
olive oil, then some Lard and mix in
timately by stirring; next add some OIL
of turpentine, and finally some oil Of
lavender; I'LL the resulting paste in
boxes. where, on solidifying, the neces-
sary consistency will be acquired. To
restore the gloss to the leather, apply
little of the paste and rub with linen
rag. This will keep the leather soft
