a fire of eye and stamp of foot that are
patents of his own genuine feeling and
his appreciation of the lines. In this art
he has had no training. The spontaneity
of his gestures, infections and attitudes
show him the natural born actor.
Such talents as have been already de-
scribed are of the artistic order. But
Florizers bent toward science is even
more astonishing than is his capacity for
art. He has memorized the names and To-
cations of the bones of the human body
by studying skeletons, and when quizzed
in anatomy by physicians has startled
them with his readiness of reply. He can
name the parts of an engine, either loco
motive or stationary, with the ease of a
mechanical engineer. In zoology he can
pass an examination that would astonish
a professor of that science. He knows
the Latin and vulgar names of all native
birds, and can describe their habits, nests
and eggs OF forty varieties of butter
flies he know the name and peculiarities
and he Is never so happy as when hunting
these gorgeous little creatures. He Is
well versed in history, letters and myth
ology. too, and can answer questions in
these lines asked at random.
1t Is not a matter of mechanical mem
orization and parrot-like iteration with
Florizel His knowledge he has acquired
by reading and observation. He reads
political speeches and Is a warm admirer
of President Mckinley and an honored
friend @ of Secretary Gage, who loves
him as If he were his own son. Once
when asked whether he would sooner
hear a temperance or a political speech,
he said: LET me hear the political
speech. I am for temperance, anyhow.

he is passionately devoted.

Little Florizel Reuter-. the Chicago boy
who entertained President Mckinley and
his friends at the White house Tuesday
evening, is a prodigy more prodigious
than any other in the same category past
or present. He not only plays the most
difficult music on the violin with the soul
and abandon of a master, but his knowl-
edge and capacities in a score of other
accomplishments are such as might have
put Hadrian to blush when at his very
best =
When F1orizel was years old-he is
now only She began to practice on
tiny violin. At he could play with amaz-
ing facility and intonation such pieces as
De Berio's first and ninth concertos,
Prume's LA Melancolie," Viottls twenty
third concerto, Davids Petite Tambour'
and Alard's Faust fantasia. Since that
time, under the care of competent mas
tiers, he has continued to improve in such
manner as holds out the brightest prom
Use for his maturity. He has positive tall
ent for the piano, and under the instruc-
ton of Prof. Henry B. Roney his voice
has been trained to remarkable pro-
ficiency. AS long as two years ago ne
began to compose, and good judges say
that these infantile efforts are excep-
tionally well done and thoroughly origi-
nal.
IF this were all little Florizel had been
wonder enough But this precocity In
other ways, and in a seeming endless va
riety of ways, is such as to cause one to
be lost In a passion of wonder and even
awe Florizel can draw with excellence
figures of birds, animals, ships, butter
flies, trees and human heads. He will

for fact that there's a lot more danger
in cuts and bruises in the eastern part
of the island where my father used to
live when he was a boy, than there is
well, even round about Jamaica, where
my folks live now
81 never heard of but one case where
the patient was cured after his face was
set, and that wasn't by a doctor, but
by an old Indian squaw. That patient
was my father, and it. was away back
in the twenties, when there was lots of
Indians left on Long Island. He was
nearly grown up at the time, but still
going barefooted in summer, and cut his
foot very badly by stepping on a broken
bottle He did not pay much attention
to it, being pretty tough and hardy. 1t
wasn't long, though, before symptoms
Of lockjaw set in. The nearest doctor
lived a dozen miles away, and if my
fathers face was exactly set 1t was next
door to it, when his mother thought
of an old squaw who lived only a little
way down the road and who had quite
a name as a herb doctor.
'She came as soon as she was sent
for, and the first thing she done was to
make a bean poultice, sprinkle it with
soda, and clap It on the GU. 1t kept
the wound open and I suppose it killed
the microbes. L know father said it nearly
killed him.. and if. the old squaw hadn't
stood by and prevented it he would have
had it off in no time. But it cured him all
right, and afterward when he heard of
doctors losing lockjaw cases. he used to
say that 1t was because they didn't know

the first conditions can be that any cor

that stock is bona tide and that there Is
no water in it. In my judgment, when
you take from monopoly the power to
issue stock not represented by money you
will go more than halfway towards de-
stroying monopoly in the United States.
You can provide for publicity and
that annually or at such other times, the
corporation shall make return of It's
business, and when You provide for pub
licity, so that The public shall know just
go another long step towards the destruc-
ton of the principle of monopoly.
"A third condition, suggest that this
license shall not be granted until the cor
poration shows that it has not had mo-
nopoly and is not attempting monopoly
of any branch of industry or any article
of merchandise, and then provide that II
the law is violated the license can be re-
voked.
Now, I may be mistaken, but it has
seemed to me that this method Of deal
ing with the trusts would prove an ef-
fective method. L do not say that there
shall be no private corporations, but L
say that if a corporation is created by
law, it, is created for the public good, and
it should never be permitted to do thing
that is injurious to the public good.
My contention is that there is vicious
principle running through the various
policies which we have been pursuing;
that in our taxation we have been i'm
posing upon the great struggling masses,
the burdens of government, while we
have been voting the privileges to the
the expenses of the government.

form of larceny. If we can secure a gov

AN EFFECTIVE METHOD.
THAT congress should pass a law pro-
viding that no corporation organized in
any state should do business outside Of
the state in which it is organized, until
congress license authorizing 1t to do
business outside of it's own state. Now,
if the corporation must come to this
body created by congress to secure Ter
mission to do business outside the state,
then that license can be granted upon
conditions which will, in the first place,
prevent the watering of stock; in the
second, prevent monopoly in any branch
of business; and third provide for pub
licity as to all of the transactions and
business Of the corporation. If it is I'M
constitutional, and so declared by the
supreme court, I am in favor of an
amendment to the constitution that will
give to congress power to destroy every
trust in the country. The first condition
which suggested was that no water
should be allowed in the stock 1 do not
believe that any state Should permit the
organization of any corporation with a
single drop of water in the stock of that
corporation. Why should the corpor alton
represents no real value? No man can
defend stock that does not represent
money invested and only in case of a
monopoly can you secure dividends upon
the stock that does not represent money
invested. You will find that If the water
ing of the stock Is permitted, then the
cry of the innocent purchaser is raised,
and you will be told that you must pro-
tect the man who bought this stock
My Judgment Is that no man can stand
in the position Of an innocent purchaser
who buys stock in a corporation, If that
stock is not represented by actual money
invested, because he can find out what
