a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap

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 Al years OF

benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is

laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-

time he became the head of a concern

fellow?"
The Doctor was furious, and dragged
her into the passage. "Are you a fool.

Heaven knows, I have not met with it
in my experience. You address my
little philosopher as if he were an in

respect, I tell you; he must not be
kissed and Georgy-porgy'd like an or

to do better"
The Doctor a~pologized for his
warmth. "But I do wish him." he n

Anastasie did as she was hidden, and
considered the Doctors behavior. She
observed that he embraced the boy
three times in the course of the even

found and abash the little fellow out Of

true womanly heroism in little affairs.

discovery, which he considers the
browning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions Of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at a merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but 8 cents two large
1oc packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent

premium announcements, of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies to the manufacture of
this new and wonderful starch, he will
not retire from the various financial
enterprises in which he is interested

his augmented activity interfere with
his social obligations and exercise of
the splendid hospitality which he dis
penses at his palatial Keokuk home.
Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the
pivot around which his activity re-
wolves, and while fond of promoting
great enterprises, he is still fonder of
his home circle, where he spends every
moment of time not taken up by busi-
ness or public cares.
