A unique condition exists at North
witch, in Cheshire, England. The
pumping of brine from the salt beds
under the town causes frequent sub

system of framing buildings has been
adopted so that when a house settles
it can be raised on jackscrews ana re-

and, after trying adventures as wander
er, reached San Francisco in the plight
of penniless tramp. After varied and
humbling experiences the hero learned
the value and dignity of work. He be-
came self-supporting, gradually arose
from the degradations of sinful life,
and grew strong physically and morally.
His love for good woman developed
his best qualities into the manhood
which stands as the noblest type of an
Englishman. Like all of Mrs. Foote'S
stories, "The Prodigal" is vigorous in
style. The plot and the characters are
unusual and charm the reader into un-
failing interest.

ETHICS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.

ETHICS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.
The long-standing charge against
great corporations is that they tend to
destroy competition. A new charge
brought against them is that they will
destroy ethics in the business world.
This is serious matter, if it be true,
as is alleged by some, that this is ''a
period of the highest business ethics the
world has ever known" 1t is matter
of no consequence if, as others say,
there is no ethics in the business world
If ethics be ''the science of ideal
humanity" then it is science which is
not cultivated in the business world Of
Chicago or other cities. There is code
of business morals, however, which is
higher one than that of any bygone
day. Business men of all classes are
more honest in their dealings with one
another and with their customers than
ever before.
The disheartening statement is made
that "the situation is likely for time to
be dominated by huge corporations, in
which the individual, with his ethics
and his reputation and his character, is
sunk out of sight and in which ethics as
such will practically disappear. If
ethics is business honesty and fair deal
ing as now practiced, then the Danish
ment of ethics will be deplorable event.
It is certain, however, that the indi-
vidual will not be ''sunk out of sight" as
the "huge corporations" emerge. He
will be more conspicuous than he is
now. knowledge of him will not be
confined to his city or state.
No corporate mask ever will hide the
features of the men who run the great
railroad systems and industrial enter
prises. For the misdeeds of these
'soulless corporations, mot they but the
well Unknown men who control them are
held responsible by public opinion, and
these men are quite as likely to be in
fuenced by the public opinion of the
whole country as are the men who
manage small railroads and little fac
tories by the public opinion of their
respective localities.
The corporation does not drive into
obscurity the individual, for the in
dividual is the recognized motive power
Of the corporation. The larger his field
of operations the more prominent he
becomes and the more closely is he
watched. That scrutiny is calculated to
develop ethics in the men who are sub
jected to it.-Chicago Tribune.

ROUBIDEAU.

at st. Joseph or elsewhere, give the lead
ing facts in the history of the family
whose name appears above, and is met
with frequently in books of western ira
vel Of fifty or sixty years ago? 1t is
confusing to the reader to find himself
confronted with mention of persons bear
ing the same name, yet who could not
have been the same individuals; though
it may easily be supposed that early
travellers may have met many trappers
and traders, especially of the Canadian
French, who would be known only by
their last names, and whose other titles
would never come to their notice, nor
perhaps ever be known by any save the
bearers themselves and few friends
back in St. Louis. The same confusion
exists in the case of other families that
were prominent in the earliest period of
the development of the West; as for
instance the Bents and the Chouteaux.
In this instance, it is known that one
Joseph Roubideau succeeded Francis
DeRoin as agent of the American Fur
Company at Bellevue about 1910; also
that he and his SONS had a trading post
in 1884 and 1885 on the site of the pres
ent city of St. Joseph, where they min
istered to the needs of the Iowa Indians
and band of the Sacs and Foxes But
the name occurs in many other connec-
tions, where it is impossible to guess
from the context whether it is ques-
tion Of Joseph or of his sons, or of some
other. An GA" Roubideau is once
mentioned.
We find in 1882 Kit Carson trapping
with "Mr. Robidoux" on Green river,
and about 1889 repairing to "Robidoux'
Fort" in 1888 somebody Of the same
name appears to have maintained a
trading post OH the Missouri, within
twenty miles or so of the mouth of the
Platte. Fremont in 1874 found another
(or the same one) on the Uintah river,
whom he describes as a st. Louis trader;
one also acted as guide and interpreter
to General Kearney on his march to Cali
fornia in 1916, and was perhaps the
same whom other travellers in the south
west in that year speak of falling in
with. The name was also borne by a
mountain pass in northern New Mexico,
otherwise called Musca Pass.
Besides the spellings given above, the
name occurs as Roubideux, Robideaux,
Rubedouy and in several other forms.
Joseph and his predecessor at Bellevue,
De Roin, both appear to have towns
named for them, though disguised in
both cases with the astonishing prefix
"Saint.'' A. T. r.

LETTER FROM COL. JOHN P. IRISH.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. %, 1901.
PROF. SAMUEL BACON
Nebraska City, Neb.
MY DEAR SIR:
Since my return home last fall have
striven in vain to find time to go to my
ranch in the mountains and get little
recreation, but I have been so crowded
that rest and time for decent attention
to my correspondence have been impos-
sible. have devoted much time to my
blind people. We have the shop open
again and are recovering our trade in
good style. The happiness of the blind
people is very touching. They work
faithfully and are able again to earn
money for their clothing and personal
comforts, while the more recent inmates
are patiently learning the trade.
I have had a great task to make the
public, and the officials concerned, COM
prehend that blind man, if properly
trained and qualified, is the best super
intendent of such institutions. While
hammering that into them I am con-
fronted with curious and vexatious
confirmation Of my view. There are in
nd
broom shops, half of them white and
half Chinese. These have combined
and gone to the legislature with the
complaint that Sanders is too expert for
them to compete with, and demanding
that the Home be permitted to sell
brooms only to the state institutions. AS
this would give us work only one short
month in the year, won't have it, and
SO have had to go to Sacramento and
fight this labor union proposition. I
had to collect the commercial statistics
of the broom trade here, and proved that
70 per cent of all the brooms used in the
state are imported, therefore the output
of the Home does not figure in compe-
tition with other shops.
am about to start East, but before I go
will write the governor Of Nebraska a
strong letter. I cannot describe the
pleasure it gave me to meet you again,
and to note the strength with which you
salute your years. You have been a
great inspiration to me in the efforts I
have made to improve the condition of
the blind, and for whatever good may

THE NODDING HILLS.

Little bendings are in progress all
the time the world over. The "immor-
able" hills are bowling and scraping
tn each other constantly. Every even
ing, as the dew settles in the valleys
between them, they nod one to an
other. So, likewise, do the mountains,
even to a greater extent. Gravity is
tugging all the time. And in London,
too, where earthquake sensations are
practically unknown, the earth bends
daily, and the buildings, like the hills
and the mountains nod to their friends
opposite when the morning traffic be-
gins. ON Sunday, usually, their man
nerS take a rest, excepting in such
places as PettiCOat Lane, where busi-
ness flourishes in as lively a fashion
as i'm Paris. ieine said that even the

DON'T GO AWAY FROM
TABLE HUNGRY

The best nourished individual, other
things being equal, is the strongest
and most useful; and the best fed ma
tions, other things being equal, are
those which lead the progress of the

Magazine. An abundance of food is
to be regarded as the essential founda-
tion for all individual, social, economic,
and national ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Thus
the very condition of affairs which
best tends to the highest development
in the individual and nation brings
them TO the verge of daster because
II Is easy when you have enough to get

satisfy hunger, because hunger is the
natural mentor which tells of the

hunger, however, is not gluttony. The
dangers from overeating are not so

as in the amounts of them con-
