septic tank is natures own method

chemical elements. The liquids GO

MILLIoNs STANDARDIZATION

Charles M. Schwab 20 years ago
was clerk in a country grocery store
at $3.50 a week. Today at SO years
old he is manager of the great steel
combination, the greatest industrial
combine ever formed. He was presi-
dent of the Carnegie Steel company at
1000 year, holding in that COM
pany 81. 600. 600 in stocks and bonds.
His wealth is estimated at $50, 900, coo.
Mr.. Schwab's success can not be
pointed to as guide TO young men.
His career illustrates the accident of
life more than normal possibility. Mr..
Schwab's lucky star has always been in
the ascendant. His surroundings were
his helps. When young ne was given
employ ment by Mr.. Carnegie and
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-02-22

mastered the details OF that wonder
full mans business. This enabled
him to consort with the most remark
able men of the hour. He learned
how to boom stocks, control markets
and stifle competition. Millions then
came naturally to him.
True, Mr.. Schwab must possess
more than ordinary ability. But, as
the Rockford Star philosophers, the
man at 80 who can count $50 600 900
as his own is creature of luck. He
has not many prototypes. Thousands
of ADLER men have failed. Their lucky
star became lost behind the clouds.

NOTES OF THE THEATRE.

| 1t is said. that when the German
Joint writer's of comedies, Blumenthal
and Heidelberg, saw Elenore Duse play
the vengeful keeper of lodging house
in "La Lonandiera, they decided at
once to treat the theme facetiously.
The outcome was ''At the White Horse

captivating and good-humored widow.
whose heart is'as healthy as the ruddy
glow on her well-rounded cheeks.
Josepha, that is the widows name,
keeps pretty inn in the Austrian
Alps, and has for her guests diverse
lot of tourists from Berlin and other
cities. The mixture of their heart af-
fairs, as well as those of the hostess
and her head waiter, are said to be
very diverting; and the great success
of the comedy in Berlin was duplicat-
ed at Wallack 8. New YorF, in the
English version. 'At the White
Horse Tavern" will be seen at Har-
