John C. HU BINGER.
Remarkable Career oAe a Weu-known
Western Capitalist, Manufact-
urer and PhiIamthrOpist.

Among the leaders OF the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hnbinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without a peep. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philanthsopist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but At years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one Of which has
benefited mankind, for his liI1erality is
as bountifuI as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being Of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early. direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course Of
time he became the head of concern
having an ANNUAL business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of paInstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubine,er has made

Strategy of a spendthrift.

A good story is told of young man who,
besides being of the spendthift order, is a
mimic and can initiate his fathers voice to a
nicely. Not long ago the young man want
ed, without delay, some money to pay bill,
and he knew that his father would treat
his request with cold contempt Waiting
till he knew that his father would be away
he went to the telephone and rang up the
Office, calling for the cashier. The cashier
was forthcoming, and when he was at the
other end the young man initiated his sire's
voice: Il say, Blank, if that scapegrace son
of mine comes around and asks for $780,
don't give it to him, only give him $50"
The cashier promised that he would full
fill the commands. Not long after that the
son called at the office and demanded $780,
He was refused by the conscientious cash
Ter, and, apparently in anger, the young
man contented himself with the $780, When
the old man reached the Office there was

RUFFLES DADS DIGNITY.
The Young baseball RoOter Causes
His PaternaI to Feel Too
Prominent.

He is a Chicago board of trade man, dig
nifed to a degree, has luxuriant, bushy side
whiskers, clean chin and upper lip, ard he
dearly loves baseball He also has son
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the elder enjoys
the playing in solid, placid, contented way,
the boy bubbles over with enthusiasm and
outroots all other rooters.
During the last Chicago-St. Louis game
father and son sat in the grand stand under
the intense strain of knowing that St. Louis
had two men on bases and two out, and if
the man at the bat made base hit the score
would be tied. The latter smote the ball
heavily. 1t SCARED upward and onward, far
back into what the baseball reporter calls
"the left garden"
Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after a
long, hard squirt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and held it. The crowd screamed joy
ously and the small son of his father nearly
went out of his skin for glee. The father
merely smiled with dignity.
Finally the crowd ceased its yelling after
the left fielder had DOTTED his cap thrice.
There was silence as he walked to the bench
twirling his blond mustache with either
hand.
Then, with his fathers clean shaven upper
lip in mind, and with voice that drew the
attention of the assembled hundreds toward
his devoted dad, the six-year-old rooter fair
ly yelled: 20, pap, don't you wish you
had mustache like Jimmie Ryan's "'-Chi.

BOTANICAL WONDERS.

The "old man cactus" Is hoary-head-
ed and looks like a shock of gray hair.
The curious thing about il is that it is
hoary only when young, losing its odd
look as it ages.
Sixty years ago there was a craze for
the cactus only rivaled by the tulip
mania of history. Some one has called
the cactus the vegetable camel of the
desert, for it thvives On the stony. arid
plains of Texas, New Mexico and Cali
,ornia.
A plant that viii furnish you with
tOothpick or pint Of water; that has
no leaves and yet sometimes weighs n
ton; that can live without moisture and
blooms in the night; that sometimes is
20 feet high and again measures a
couple Of inchcs-surely the cactus is
entitled to be called the wonder of all
the growing things of earth.
One cactus furnishes the Indians boil
ers in which 10 cook their food, and so
plentiful are they that in moving from
place to place the Indians never carry
away the green boilers, being sure Of
finding new ones at their next stopping
place. 1t is shaped like n squat cylinder
and has hard shell filed with PUPPY
mass easy to remove. 1t is so hard and
green that the fire does not scCrch it.

browning event of his wonderful

new article of commerce, known as

nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-

PROGRESS.

With time, comes progress and adj
vancement in all lines of successfully
conducted enterprises. Success comes
to those only who have goods with
superior merit and a reputation. In
the manufacture of laundry starch for
the last quarter of a century j. G.
Hubinger has been the peer of all
others and to-day is placing on the
market the finest laundry starch ever
offered the public under our new and
original method.
Ask your grocer for coupon book

two large 10 cent packages of his new
starch, RED CROSS, TRADE MARK
brand, also two of the children's

All grocers are authorized to give ten
large packages of RED CROSS STARCH,
with twenty of the Shakespeare pic
lures or ten of the Twentieth Century
