Il JUST THREE DAYS
OUR CARPET SALE

Has been unprecedented. What
was the cause? The lowest price ever
named in our city. There's plenty
more left for this weeks selling.

breakasted early and dined from to 4,
retired at and to bed from 10 to II. He
said III his last illness that the sun had
not caught him in bed for fifty years
water but once a day, a single glass,
when he returned from his ride He ate
heartily, and much vegetable food, pre-
terring French cooking
JefferSons opinion of European ROYALTY
was expressed in u letter to General
Washington in which he said: II can
say with perfect safety that there is not
a crowned head in Europe whose talents
or merits would entitle him to be elected

Running through his expenditures for
the year we find that Jefferson's dI1ties
as president did not distract his attention
from his household affairs, and the most
careful and exact housewife could not
nave been more conscientious in noting
every penny paid for any purpose When
he gave tip to his servants or dropped
a penny in the hand of beggar he re-
corded it as faithfully as the payments of
interest upon his debts.
% O. @
On July 81, 1901, he bought a. bootjack
for IS cents. and we know every time he
purchased an article of linen or shay
ing-mug or a pair of hose. The president
must have had many appeals from the
poor and from benevolent associations,
because every few days there is an entry
of from 81 to $50 "n charity" In Janu-
airy, 1902 his charitable contributions
amounted to $225 and curing his first year
in the White House the total was S1,5S560.
Jefferson frequently expressed his dis
approval of foreign missions. 4 do not
know that it is a duty to disturb by mis-
sionaries the religion and peace of other
countries" he said. who think them
selves bound to extinguish by fire and
fagot the heresieS to which we give the
name of conversions and quote our own
example for it Nevertheless, he gave
literally to missionary purposes, and in
his account books we find frequent en-
tries of sums of money paid toward the
support of churches, missionaries and re-
ligious schools.
Jefferson was ambidextrous. He could
write equally well with either hand.
When his right wrist was broken he
learned to use his pen with his left hand
which became as skilful as the other.
1t would have been impossible for him
to have carried on his extensive CORE
spondence without being able to relieve
his right hand at intervals
Unfortunately, he was without a sense
of humor. He rarely told a story, and
seldom enjoyed one, and witticisms were
wasted in his presence.
Had Jefferson's advice been followed
our tables of measures today would be-
"Ten points, one line; ten lines one inch;
ten inches, one foot: ten feet, one decad;
ten decads. one rood ten roods, one f11r
long; ten furlonEs. one mile But this
was too novel and audacious for congress
to accept.

CHORES FOR BOARD.
Ex-Congressman Ridgely Cooking in
Lawton, Ok
Detroit Tribune.)

Topeka, Kan.-On March last Ed
ward r. Ridgely retired as congress-
man from the Third Kansas district,
and he is today cooking and doing
chores for his board and a place to
sleep in Lawton. Okla.
When Ridgely was elected to con-
gress in 1896 he owned a half interest
in Il mercantile business i'll Pittsburg,
Crawford county, Kansas, but sold his
share to his brother When he left
the Office he had only a little money
and no profession to fall back on. He
was too proud to farm, and the mer-
cartiIe business did not offer it's former
inducements. He lived in Pittsburg for
time without doing anything, and
finally drifted to the Kiowa country in
search of a place and opportunity to
begin life again.
He was found in LawtOn last week
by Colonel Fred Donelson. who had
been one of the Ridgely political sup
porters in former years Colonel Don
elson says that when he saw Ridgely
the former congressman had just re-
turned from an erTand for the grocery
man who gives him his board. He
was carrying a large piece of ice in Il
sack on his back.
The ex-COngressman said that he
had been offered d chance to sleep in
the groceryman's wagon at night and
q job of cooking and running errands
for his board. He says the accommo-
dations are not as good as he has had,
but he cannot complain, and is looking
for a chance to make fortune.

every moment. [ will visit this club
myself"
In less than half an hour the new
club rooms were in the possession of
the police, but they found the rooms
vacant, and no member knocked for
admission. The plot had failed, but so
well laid were their plans that the
word of warning came and circulated
among them almost instantly. They
made no attempt at flight, and by no
sign on either side was the world ac-
quainted with what had been planned
and failed. If the detectives fathomed
the plot they took no action. AS a
matter of fact, the social and finan-
cial standing of the men involved was
such that the public would have hest
tated to believe them guilty, even
though the charges were fortified by
the strongest evidence.
Il Mr.. Gould had gone to the address
given in the forged letter he would
have been taken from it's rooms and
placed on board the yacht. A spot on
the southern shore of Cuba had been
selected as his destination. and here
the financier would have been held for
so long a time as suited the wishes of
his captors. Every provision had been
made for his comfort and he would
have suffered no violence at the hands
of his kidnapers. The men who formed
the plot believed that it would have
been impossible to discover their iden-
tity, and the fact that the failure of
the conspiracy did not reveal the prin-
cipals gees to prove that they were
right.
Such is the remarkable story as out
lined in the letters now in Mr.. Adams
possession. One OF the letters asserts
that seven of the ten conspirators are
living, but gives no hint of what be-
fell the young man who formed the
conspiracy.

PLOT TO KIDNAP GOULD.
Strange Story of an Old Happening
by the Author of It.
philadelphia North American.

philadelphia North Amercan)
Jay Gould once narrowly escaped be-
ing kidnapped. The details have just
come to light, but the essential fact
has been known to an inside Wall
street group for years, though no hint
of it has reached the reading public.
An attempt was made to kidnap Mr..
Gould and hold him for a ransom of
value compared with which that de-
manded for Miss Ellen Stone seems
insignificant The plot was developed
not in Bulgaria. Italy or in the fast
nesses of the Rocky mountains, but in
the metropolitan district Of New York
City. The would-be kidnapers were
not professional criminals or brigands,
but men of standing in the social and
financial world. For sheer audacity
and desperation the plot has no equal
in romance or history. The facts have
come to the surface through the re-
cent publication of novel having kid
naping as its theme.
Since Frederick Upham Adams wrote
and published The Kidnapped Million
aires" he has been in receipt of hum
dreds Of letters from all types of wri-
ters
Mr. Adams is visiting with friends
in Philadelphia. to whom he has shown
some of the remarkable letters which
he has received since his book was
published Among them are two which
give in detail the story of the attempt
to kidnap Jay Gould, and while these
letters are not signed they give the
outlines of narrative seemingly
founded on facts and written by men
who participated in or were familiar
with the plot described.
In the years spent as a Wall street
correspondent" said Mr.. Adams, Il
heard many rumors of the attempt
made to llidnap Mr.. Gould. but they
possessed SO little verisimilitude that
they were not worthy of mention or
consideration. Since the publication of
my book I have received many I'M
signed letters from men who are lead
ing factors in Wall street. Some of
these We're congratulatory, while 9TH
ers warned me against taking liberties
with our all-powerful naillionaires.
These cautious critics assured me that
in case a New York millionaire ever
is kidnapped 1 will be held responsible.

Last week" continued Mr.. Adams,
II received two letters, both pertaining
to the same subject-the alleged at
tempt to kidnap Jay Gould. Both
were typewriter, on paper which gave
no hint of the address of the writers.
Both told substantially the same story,
differing only in details. There was
that difference in style and in the use
Of words and phrase which, to the
skilled reader, stamped them as the
product of different writer's.
Zone gave the dates of the various
alleged events, while the other was
silent on this point. One gave the
names of two parties who were limo
cent figures in the drama, while the
other indicated them by dashes. but
neither letter gave any clue to the
identity of the ten men who formed
and stood ready to carry out the plot"

publication of the letters, saying that

Bacon says that Jefferson always knew

He knew the name of every tree, just
when one was dead or needed nursing
He even told Bacon what pigs to kill,

Notwithstanding. his admiration for
France and his affection for the French
people, his residence in that country made
him the more genuinely an American. He
advised Monroe to visit France. because,
he said, 1T viii make you adore your

THE LOST CAP.


He hunted through the library,
He looked behind the door, $50
He searched where baby keeps MS to9'
Upon the nursery floor;
He asked the cook and Mary
He called mamma TO look
He even started sister up
To leave her Christmas BOOK
He couldn't find it anywhere,
And knew some horTid tramp
Had walked in through the open gaze
And stolen it, the scamp
Perhaps the dog had taken IL
And hidden il away;
or else perhaps he's cheWed IL UP
And swallowed it in play
And then mamma came down the stairs
Looked through the closet door,
And there it hung upon its peg,
AS it had huns before.
And Tommy's cheeks turned rosy red,
Astonished was his face;
He couldn't find his cap-because
Twas in its proper place!

1.-THE discussion of faith between John
Milwood, Catholic lawyer, and James
Milwood, Presbyterian clergyman
broke off in the dialogue last week at
a point where the two brothers We're
arguing the necessity or option of be-
lei in non-essentials as well as in es-
ssntials. the Presbyterian contending
that belief in essentials is sufficient and
orthodox and differences about non
essentials wrought no harm to faith
through revelation. The Catholic re-
piled that our doctors distinguish be-
tween the articles of the creed which
are secondary, but they do not teach
that faith in the primary alone sufices
for salvation. They teach that the
whole must be believed, either explicit
ly or implicitly, and simply add that
explicit faith in the primary articles,
with implicit faith in the secondary, is
all that is necessary. This weeks in
stallment begins with a query in reply,
directed by James, the Presbyterian

Dear children think of st, Joseph,
whom every Catholic loves and honors.
Especially do little children love this
dear saint, who took care of Our Lord
when He was a tiny baby, and after
wards until He was quite d big boy.
He worked hard at his trade, which
was that of a carpenter, so that Our
Lord and His blessed Mother might
have enough to eat and drink and
wear. st. Joseph did not mind any
thing he did for them, and was as
pleased as he could be when his work
was over, and he could sit down and
listen to Our Lord telling him about
what had happened during the day.
For when our Lord lived on earth he
was just the same as any other little
boy of His age. He used to play and
study and do errands for our blessed
Mother just the same as you have to do
now. But He was very gentle and
truthful, and He was always good. So,
while He liked fun, He was never cruel
to ANYBODY or to anything helpless.
St. joseph showed his love for Our
Lord in many ways, and was happy
as long as he could be with Him, thus
setting an example for every Catholic,
who should try to pass as much time
with Our Lord as possible. The Church
gives us St Joseph for patron to
pray to, so that we may beg him TO
take care of us in trouble as well as
during our whole life. We should never
be afraid to ask st. Joseph for any
thing, because if what we ask is good
for us to have he will get it for us
Especially on the 10Th of March, which
is ST. Joseph's feast day, should little
children ask him for favors and bless
ings. Be sure that if YOU say a little
prayer to this great saint, every single
day, he viii never forget to listen to
you. Many grown up people will tell
you how kind st. Joseph has been to
them in giving them what they asked
for.-Little Folks Annual.
