sHELvED HIS
An Experience which Taught the
Mechanical Expert a Lesson.


One of the best mechanical engineers
in New Orleans told an interesting
story apropos Of the tribulations of in
ventors. About three years ago" he
said, Il got up a little device that
greatly simpliied the working Of a
certain type Of pump. took out
patents that cost me in the neighbor
hood Of $500. including attorneys fees.
and finally submitted tile thing to a
big manufacturing concern In the
north. The proprietors ut once con
coded the merit Of the invention and
offered me $500 down and a royalty OF
Si25 on each one used. The cash pay
ment amounted to nothing, for it really
fell short Of covering my time and ex-
penses. but the royalty was generous,
and / figured ii out that Ii would yield
me an income Of $1,000 or $1,000 FOR
several yearsperhaps longer. it de-
pended on how soon something better
entered the field.
Accordingly, | accepted the proposl-
ton and transferred al my right Now,
how much do you think | actually re
celred? Not a penny. No, ! haven't
been cheated; al least, all the accounts
have been perfectly straight The
trouble Is they never put the device on
the market. They simply stuck thl
patents and drawings in q ~pigeonhole
and there they remain 10 this day.
why did they do il. did you ask? To
save money. The public Ii very wei
suited with their pump as IL stands
md ii is doubtful II they could get ans
more for 1t with my improvement add,
ed such a step would merely cut down
the net profr, - they prefer 10 let wei
enough alone. II was necessary. o.
course, to get my invention safely
shelved. or II might have been taken
up by some enterprising rival. and III,
only earthly reason for spending 500
on the thing was to prt 1t out Of th'
way. TX was rather rough on me, 4
be sure. but the experience was yaln
able, and ! won't get caught that wa,
again" - New Orleans Times-D Demo

to organize the Chinese government In a

SLAVE OF JEFFERSON.

There is living at Cincinnati a negro,
named Peter Fossett, who was once
owned by Thomas Jefferson.
Peter was one Of Thomas Jefferson's
slaves, born on the Monticello estate
in 1915. His mother was Mr.. Jeffer-
sons favorite cook during his two
terms of the presidency. His father
had charge of all mechanical work
done on the estate. This made Peter
a sort OF family pet about the home
stead and he was given special advant-
ages in training and education by Mrs.
Polly Randolph, Jefferson's daughter,
and the other ladies at Monticello.
Though slave for IS years of his life,
Peter never knew much of slavery's
darker side. He recalls many of the
worlds celebrities, both of this coun-
try and Europe, who visited the sage
Of Monticello after he retired from the
presidency.
Mr.. Jefferson died July 4, 1926, on
the fiftieth anniversary of the signing
Of the declaration. He provided in his
will for the emancipation Of all his
slaves, but the laws of Virginia made
it impossible for the executors to
carry out this wish, as they found the
estate incumbered with debt, and
slave property had to be counted. His
father had been freed by Mr.. Jefferson
during his lifetime and had settled in
Cincinnati. He prospered, and he and
Peter together bought the latter from
his master in 1850 He then Joined
his father in Cincinnati, where he has
been known for half a century,
