Sloan's Recipe for Success.

Samuel Sloan, who has just retired
from the presidency of the Delaware,
LackaWanna and Western railroad at
the ripe old age of 80, began his re-
markabe career without a penny, and
he retires with many millions. He ex-
plains his success in accommodating a
fortune by saying that when he first
went to work no matter what his sal
airy was, he saved some of it. The first
thousand dollars was the hardest to
get, but it soon grew to $4,000, and then
to higher figures. Economy is one Of
the most important roads to wealth.
When 1 say economy 1 Go not mean
sordidness, but I do mean a proper
appreciation of the value Of money.
Given proper economy, integrity, earn
estness, application to detail and you
will win every time. kansas City

Device to Outwit Railroad scalpers.

A travelling man Of Anderson, Ind,
has invented a mileage ticket which
will protect railroads against scalpers
The ticket is a book which does not
open There is a slit through which
the mileage strip is drawn out. The
passenger in buying q ticket signs his
name on the last ten miles, and the
book is then sealed up. It cannot be
broken open without destroying the val
ue of the ticket. 1t is easy to see that
such a book will have no attractions
for scalper. The coupons are not
numbered continuously from / to 1000,
SO a second buyer must take the word
of a seller as to its value, and just
there is where the ticket is exceedingly
weak, if not to say valueless.-NewO Or

Light from the welsback.

1t is now coming to be accepted that
the light given out by Welsbach man
tie is largely due to union of gases talk
ing place within the pores. Professor
Elihu Thomas has conducted an elabo-
rate series of experimental tests ex-
tending over six or seven years, which
show that the light of the burner is
not due to the material being brought
to a high temperature by the hot gasas
of the flame and that the material of
the burner itself does not possess any
peculiar property of luminescence ex-
cepting under specific conditions. His
explanation is that the ight-givine
qualities are developed through INNER
sion of the material of the mantle in
gases under combustion.

Author Charles King, retired regu-

broke out and now brigadier general
at Manila, expects to come home soon
Colonel Arthur Macarthur of Milwau-
kee is the other Wisconsin brigadier
1t will surprise some to know what q
havoc death has played with these boys
of ours who went to the front, or to
Jacksonville, or wherever sent. The
Milwaukee Sentinel almanac, just out,
has a detailed statement. In the First
regiment f0rty-seven deaths are listed:
in the Second regiment, forty: in the
Third, thirty-five and in the Fourth
twelve. The company losing most men
(ten) was company 3, First regiment
the Fort Atkinson company. Most of
these boys died in Jacksonville This
total of 1874 deaths is not yet complete,
for a number of the returned soldiers
are wrestling with ailments from which
they may never recover. The figures
however, represent good deal Of tears
and mother anguish and many shat
tered homes. God pity them all!

Some Dread to Go on Record.

Mr.. Hall and Judge Orion are the
re ;OgniZed leaders in the corporation
plucking industry with a following
more or less Influenced by the dread of
roll call. Legislators do not relish be-
ing put on record in voting on meas
ures which the public follow with criti
cal interest. 1t requires one-sixth of
those present to secure the "ayes and
nays" on a vote and that small num-
Der can most always be obtained.
The moderate on these many
corporation measures that are making
this session notable are led by Messra.
Wheeler, McGrath and others. Mr..
Wheeler is the young lawyer of James
vile, who heads the judiciary commit
tee, and so Outranks Judge OrtOn who
was Interpreting statutes before Mr..
Wheeler was born, but by reason of this
being his first session. Judge Orion OBJ
tanned no craftsmanship. The two are
pretty sure to be found on opposite
sides of most questions with a radical
and conservative aspect, though on
matters of law they are usually found
together and have been of much service
to the assembly.

Talk of " Watered Stock"

The lawyers say Reformer Hall took
needless alarm over the bills allowing
the Wisconsin Central and other roads
to reOrganize. They do allow stock to
be deemed par stock when it is worth
much less and Mr.. Hall predicts that
innocent purchasers will be ''bitten'' in
believing that Wiscons:n's policy of rec
ognizing only full-paid securities con-
tinues He also says the company may
charge all kinds of prices for trans
portation in order to pay dividends on
this Watered stock. But trustworthy
lawyers. on the floor dispute the asser-
ton and reorganization will be granted
on the basis asked by the doWn-ea
capitalists.

part of the plant of telephone COM
pany is in Wisconsin, comparing it with
earnings, ETC., the same plan by which
express and sleeping car companies are
taxed. At present the telephone COM

won't be much but it will avoid impu-
tation of partially.
