carriage and stabbed the king In the arm

Knit His People Together.
King Humbert's reign has been marked
more for his ability to keep his people knit
together than for any extraordinary activ-
ity he has shown In the affairs of the ma
tions of Europe. Most of the historians of
modern affairs contend that 1talys stabil-
ity since 1861, when Victor Emanuel was
first saluted king, has been due to the
sagacity of her ministers rather than to
the greatness Of either Humbert or his
father. But II Is memorable that even
when Humbert assembled the throne the
army and navy of his country were as
nothing. his people were impoverished, roads
were unbuilt and the nation had a poor
standing among the people of the earth.
Triple Alliance His Greatest Work.
The triple alliance. with its accompani-
rnents of ready armies and equipped navy,
has fiourished under his rule, and his peo-
pie have remained loyal to him. In spite
of the scandals which shook, In turn, every
minister from place and power
The most notable achievements of King
Humberts reign have been the consumma-
ton OF the triple alliance between Ger
many, Austro-H Hungary and Italy, and the
securing of Turkish adhesion to the com
pact as a precautionary measure against
the possible Entertainments of Russia and
other powers. Beyond this he seems to
have been content to care mostly for the
internal and material advancement of his
people. as though they were at most and
at least his neighbors. companions and
friends. OF late years he has followed
more closely in the humane and generous
practices of his amable wife-visiting hos
pitfalls, mingling with the poor and giving
his personal care to charities that are not

ness was military. King Humbert did not

monarchs. He was born and bred soldier.
but he lacked many intellectual attain

some frivolity which displeased but did
not estrangc his gentle queen. All his crit
les agree that he never trusted a minister

owners having no desire to sell out but intending
to remain with the business; they will therefore
not part with any more stock than they believe
necessary to fully carry out their plans for
operation and profit sharing as previously stated
The owners confidently believe that, by in
augurating the liberal policy above outlined
towards their employees, they will in return be
rewarded by more faithful service, and courteous
attention to patrons, the result Of which must be
beneficial to the new Company as we'll as aug
tnent the continued good will of the public.
Furthermore, it can be calculated
to a certainty
that with many thousands of new stockholders
exerting their personal influence toward the sue
cess and welfare of the business larger patronage
and correspondingly greater earnings for the
new Company will be assured. II is from the
increased benefits and material advantages which
these changed conditions expected to bring
about, that the present owners feel confident of
better pro rata remuneration on the stock which
they retain, and in a measure justifes them in
parting with any portion of their interests in an
established and exceptionally profitable business.

To carry out the plan OF
Profit-Sharing

it is proposed by the present owners, who are
the owners of all the stock of the new Company,
to offer to the public through the undersigned,
200, 900 shares Gully paid and non-assessab1e)
of the per cent. cumulative Preferred Stock at
par, upon which the full per cent. dividend
must always be paid before the Common Stock
receives any dividend whatever, the Preferred
Stock also having prior right to all the assets
of the Company.
In order to give double assurance to the
general public, whom it is desired to interest as
Stockholders Gnstead of Speculators) and who
may not be fully conversant with such invest
ments, the money required to pay dividends
on said 200, 900 shares has been set aside and
will remain OH deposit with the Central Trust
Company of New York, and the Illinois Trust
and Savings Bank of Chicago, respectively, to
secure the dividends of per cent per annum,
payable per cent. semi-annually, for period
of FIVE years, t. e., until July Ist, 1905, on all
such Preferred Stock as may be allotted in their
respective territories, and each Certificate Of
Stock so allotted will have an endorsement by
said Trust Companies, respectively, to that
effect. We thereby offer, we believe, not only
an absolutely safe per cent investment, but
one which will without question yield consider
ably more.

over, we allude with pride to the fact that tho
Chicago establishment has since it's inception
paid millions of dollars in dividends to its stock
holders, and that the New York establishment
while only in it's fourth year, is not only doing
larger business than the Chicago store, but is
also on most profitable dividend paying basis.
We can also say for the benefit of subscribers.
that the net earnings of our two establishments
for the past year were largely in excess of the
amount required to pay the dividends on all the
Preferred Stock of the new Company.

WEALTH IN A PINT OF ALE.

An English clergyman tells of a printer who agreed with his wife on their wedding day that she was to have a pint of ale daily. His own potations, being unlimited. ran frequently to quarts.
 At the end of year the man looked sheepishly at his wife and said: Mary. we've had no holiday since we were wed, and only thet I haven't a penny we'd take jaunt down to the vi!laga and see thy mother"
 If thee'd like to go, John, I'll stand treat"
