II Ia as q popular philosopher that
Herbert Spencer seems to hold his rep
utatiOn, and yet one must read the 40
count of his self-sacrihce and privation
before one can realize the tremendous
battle which the best known philoso'
pher Of this century fought before he
found any readers ut all. Social
Statics," certainly rather unhandy
book, took fourteen years to sell, al
though the edition ran only to 100
copies. The principles Of PsychOlo'
gy." with a first edition of $50 copies
did not sell out for twelve years, and
Mt the end OF fifteen years the author
lost no less than $1,000 through his pub
licati0ns. The strongest man, hOwever
Is the man who can wait, and Herbert
Spencer waited. The scientific method
of studying human life began to find
willing pupils, not only among scien
lists, but also among young students
of philosophy at the universities and
workingmen, who gave up their even
ings to the study Of technical or socia
sciences. Few books of philosophy
have enjoyed SO wide popularity OF
sale as the "Data Of Ethics" where
flowing and persuasive argument de

II Is with pleasure that we call the
attention of the trade, and private fam.
lilies, to the fact that owing to the in.
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter of undoubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now bottling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited in an inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything Of Il harmful or deletcri-
Gus nature, and AZ price that would
commend its use to all. The failure
hitherto TO obtain such an article has
led consumers TO purchase imported
goods AT high price.
Therefore we are prepared TO place
on the market bottled ale ana porter
uneXccllcd in quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
TO offer 10 our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods OF

A NOTABLE AUTHOR DEAD.
Sir Walter Besant, the English Nov

Sir Walter Besant, the English Nov.
eiist and Historiographer.
A notable English novelist and his.
Photographer, Sir Walter Desant, who
was warm friend Of America and
an admircr Of Americans, has been laid
to rest at Hampstead, In the north Of
London, where he had long made his
home. Sir Walters death followed an
illness Of short duration.
Walter Besant, in the minds Of Eng.
lishmen, was the nearest approach to
Dickens the country ever produced. He
was born In 1893 and was the son of q
well-to.do merchant. Entering Cam.
bridge, he took up the study Of mathe.
inatics but, becoming interested In
Dickens works, determined to emulate
the great writer's example and enter
The field of literature. All his time
could not then be devoted to writing,
however, SO he secured a colonial ap.
pointment and, when opportunity
offered. wrote novel. Two years
passed before his work was finished
and then It was rejected by a pub.
Usher with the result that It was placed
In the fire. Then Sir Walter set to
work publishing studies In French lit.
erature and also engaged in Journal.
Ism. Becoming acquainted with a mag.
azine editor named James Rice, he
Joined with him and together they pro-
duced in ten years twelve successful
books.
While celebrated as IN historical
writer. greater reputation was gained
by Sfr. Besant In a class Of novels
which added something Of purpose to
he narrative. He was one of the first

city whose millions pass IN apparently
dull, uneventful existence.
The Peoples Palace, which II was his
idea should be the center Of wholesome
pleasure amid sordid surroundings,
took concrete shape, and has been the
parent Of many similar institutions. II
was In recognition Of his work In this
connection that knighthood was con.
fcrrcd upon him In 1906. So compre.
hensive and thorough was his knowl.
edge Of the topography and history of
London that he was chosen to direct
the preparation Of new survey which
should picture the history. traditions

Sir Walter twice visited America, the
second occasion being In 1893, when he
read paper ut the Worlds Congress OF
Authors Mt the Chicago Exposition.

Kate. the little striped cat that has

About two weeks ago Kate had her

proud of them. While she was out for

when Kate got back she found only
the lifclcss remains OF her little family
left, She gave many signs Of her grief
for about week.
Then some OF the workmen at the
station who We're tearing up the floor
uncovered Il nest Of mice. The old
mouse was killed and Kate was called
to make rich meal of the three mice
that were left. She answered the call
of the men, smelled the tiny black mice
and rolled them tenderly about In their
nest. Then, one ut u. time. she lifted
them and carried them carefully into

were deposited In Rates basket in the
baggage-rOom, where they have re.
manned ever since.
The cat seems to take as much pride
in the mice as she did In her kittens,
ana spends most Of her time nursing
and licking them.
