also inspected the ports of San Fran

Columbia river bar. which is a bad
thing for that port

great deal since that day and is much
improved. 1t is merely a matter Of

About the De Wet Family.

The Dutch antiquarian, Peter van
News, gives some Information about
the De Wet family. 1t appears that the
most eminent predecessor Of the IA
nous military leader in the South Afri-
can "Orange Vrystatt'' was a painter
of considerable note in his day. Jaeobus
Willems De Wet lived In Haarlem at
the end of the sixteenth century and
the beginning Of the seventeenth. The
name of the artist stands first in the
family registers of the old Kaapland
families. A Jacobus De Wet, his de-
scendant and namesake. settled on the
River Liesbeck. in South Africa, where
he married Josina Pretorius snd died
there in I'LL, leaving five children.

sons who prefer the suspender for or
binary wear and the belt for special
work will appreciate the merits of a
combination which viii supply both at
a cost of little more than that of either
article alone. A glance at the ilustra-
ton shows the manner Of making the
change, the braces being pivoted at the
back to allow alignment, while the
front straps are attached to the buckles
by loops ON the under side, allowing
them to be drawn up and fastened to
the upper buckles Of the suspenders
This leaves exposed the hook and loop
for fastening the ends of the belt as
shown.

The plus" man is one who is more
than appears on the surface, bigger
than he looks, stronger than he seems,
ADLER than he shows in ordinary affairs,
better than the world judges him, con-
stantly rising to great occasions and &C.
cOmplishing more than is expected of
him, writes Victor Smith in the New
York Press. There are many such men
to whom great occasions never come.
There are a few whose ''plusness" has
chance to illuminate the earthly every
day.
Perhaps the finest type Of plus" man
was President Lincoln. Grant, too. was
plus. 1t might be confessed that plus,
in the sense used. is nearly synony-
nous with successful. In commercial
life Mr.. Morgan is heavily plus. In
railroading William X. Vanderbilt and
Edward II. Hartman have loomed up
rather suddenly as plus. Commodore
Vanderbilt and Jay Gould were plus.
Croker is plus. Odell is plus.
In the contracting line John b. Nc
Donald is heavily plus. II is not every
man of affairs who can take hold of a
$50. 100000 job and carry 1t along sue
cessfully without losing a pound OF
flesh from worry. Plus men seldom
worry. They have great nerve but no
nerves.

The LATEST man in New England is
dead.
Joseph A. Bingham was so years old
and never in the memory Of any ac-
quaintance had he done a stroke Of
work. He was born, reared, lived and
died in Andover, Conn. Bingham was
so lazy. says the Boston Post, that the
sight of a woodpile, saw-horse and saw
made his head ache The sight of men
at work caused him to have fits. He
usually took them under the shade of
big elm in front of the town tavern.
He never washed his face. combed his
hair, wore a collar nor laced his shoes.
All these little minor things required
some degree of animation, and Bing-
ham abdorred animation.
Born of well-to-do parents, he was
supported by their wealth as long as
they lived, then a legacy was left him
In trust, which the selectmen doled out
to him. He boarded at Andover inn for
years, until his money was gone. then
the scene shifted to a little house pro-
vided by the selectmen. Here it was
charged that he was too lazy to cut the
wood given him, too lazy to draw water
from the nearby well, too lazy to tie up
his shoes. 1t was too much work to
put on collar. and as for cooking a
meal with material all given him
well, he would starve rather than do it..
Several years ago, when he became a
town charge, an effort was made to
get work out of him, but it proved a
fiat failure. He was let out to a far
mer to assist in threshing grain. Bing-
ham was given the position of taking
away the shucked straw after 1t has
passed through the whirling fhresher.
He watched the machine work for a
few minutes and then, with hammer
and nails and two or three pieces of
board, rugged up device which, when
attached to a crank on the feeder, serv-
ed to carry the discharged straw away
to the dump. This single effort pros
trated Bingham and he took a nap
forthwith.
Some one recognized the value of the
new device, and the idea was patented
in Bingham's name as joke. A short
time later an agent for a threshing ma
chine company came to Andover and
woke Bingham up. The agent found
him under his favorite tree asleep. as
usual. The agent talked; Bingham look
ed disturbed. The agent wanted the
use of the patent; Bingham wanted to
be left alone Finally the exasperated
agent, getting no replies from the lazy
man, raised his bids by degrees from
$50 to $500. Bingham turned over and
settled himself to take a well-earned
rest. Then the agent gave him a paper
to sign, but Bingham was sleeping the
sleep of the weary. The agent gave
up and left town. Bingham slept on
His sleep was never disturbed by the
thought of the fortune that knocked
at his door.
For the first time in % years he look
ed into a mirror. What he saw Their,
was his own reflection. He walked ou
and deliberately began a nap in from
of an approaching train. 1t ended hi,
life easily. No exertion on his part wa,
needed, as there would have been If b,
had used pistol. rope or poison.
