The Value of Small Industries.

The statement made through the press
n few days ago to the effect THAI the
British Government had contracted for
the delivery Of 10000 pairs of oars to
he made Of Louisiana ash, and the fur
ther statement that all the leading ma vies
use oars made from ash secured in this
state. will doubtlessly be news to many
local people. although the shipping of
oars in the rough from this State is bv
no means new industry. The most
wonderful thing about the business is
that although the wood of which oars
are made is extensively furnished by this
state the oars themselves are to n very
large extent manufactured elsewhere and
in some eases even shipped back here for
use. 1t would not be correct to sav that
no oars are made here, hut it is correct
to state that we do not manufacture
even a very small part of the number we
should manufacture, since the raw mate
rial. namely, the ash wood is a Louisi-
ana product.
durable an oar that navies, foreign as
well as our own, prefer it to ali other.
Such being the case, there will always be
a ready market for the finished oars.
There ought, therefore, to he n ready
market for the product of several oar
factories, the machinery of which could
proftably be employed also on other
wood work besides oars.
1t is in the encouragement of small
factories devoted to the manufacture O
minor articles that this State is very
backward, yet these industries by Civ
ing employment to many laborers. az
well as skilled mechanics, and consum
ing raw material produced right at home
do much in the way of building up thei
immediate neighborhoods Many sinai
industries are probably more beneficial
to the community than few large ones

Advice to Hear and to Heed Also.

General Robert L. Lee. once wrote to
his son at school: You must study to
be frank with the world. Frankness
Is the child of honesty and courage. Say
Just what you mean to do on every oc-
casion and take it for granted you mean
to do right. IL a friend asks a favor
you should grant it, if it is reasonable:
II not, tell him plainly why you cannot.
You will wrong him and wrong yourself
by equivocations of any kind. Never do
a wrong thing to make a friend or keep
one: the man who requires you to do so
is dearly purchased at such n sacrifice.
Deal kindly, but firmly, with all your
classmates; you will find it the policy that
wears the best. Above all, do not appear

sneni Nine Yeas IN wIfe.s Tomb.

Jonathan Reed has for nine years kept
vigil at the tomb of his wife in Ever
green Cemetery. Brooklyn. When she
died nine years ago Mr.. Reed was over
whelmed with grief lie could not bear
the thought of separation that the grave
implied. So he had n spacious vault con
structcd and in it was placed the steel
casket containing the mortal remains OF
his loved one. by the side of his wiie's
coffin he had n similar casket placed in
which his own body will soon rest. In
the vault he placed his wife's favorite
books and pictures, the trinkets she
cared most for and that had been asso-
ciated with her home life. Her canary
was stuffed and the cage was hung over
the colin. And then Mr.. Reed began
daily visits to the tomb. lie reached the
cemetery early each morning and stayed
until the gates were closed at night. The
manager of the cemetery asked Mr.. Reed
to cease his daily visits but he said that
the property belonged to him; that he
could stay there as much rs he pleased
Thereafter ne was not molested. Visitors
from all over the world have called on
Mr.. Reed. lie was courteous to all and
he told of his happy life with the dead
wife and his anxiety to be laid by her
side. "She was always the prettiest
woman in the world" he says. land to
me she is just as pretty as she ever was.

bride A years ago" In good weather
Mr.. Reed sits in front OF the tomb in the
sunshine. When the weather is bad he
enters the vault, which is large enough
for him to move about and is furnished
with chair, sofa. cushions, brie-a- brac
and hangings. When the old man
reaches the tomb each day he addresses
his wife as though she were alive. tells
her how he feels and continues his talk
for many minutes. II am now 60 years
old, II" said Mr.. Reed yesterday, 'and dc

Who will have the desirable seat of the
late Amos J. Cummings, conveniently To-
Gated on the center aisle OF the Demo

front? 1t looked like Mr.. James Hay. of
Virginia, but that has changed. As soon
as the trappings Of woe were removed
from the fine mahogany desk the name
OF the Virginian was promptly inscribed
on the lid. Mr.. Hay was occupying the
seat, but n contest therefor arose. Mr..
Underwood. OF Alabama, desired the
coign OF vantage. Both gentlemen trek
led back to the origin OF their claims
Mr.. Hays name was put on the lid, be-
cause he seemed to have filed his claim
frst, as il were. Although the drawing
for seats is by lots at the beginning of
every Congress, vacant seats thereafter
are given to the members who speak
first. Back in December last Mr.. Cow
herd, of Missouri, left with the door
keeper a request for the first desirable
chair. Mr.. Hay made a similar request
soon afterward. Mr.. Underwood ditto
in January. So. it is claimed, the records
showed. Mr.. Cownerd got the seat Of
the late Mr.. Polk, OF Pennsylvania.
Some misunderstanding about the date
of the second filing led to the contest,
which, however. was amieably settled.

won.

Killed Near shaftsburs.

The body of Ernest Van Ripper, a

in the employ of the Grand Trunk West
ern Railroad company, was found We'd
nesday morning in FIVE feet of water in
the sink hole about one and one-half
miles east of Haslett Park. The young
mans neck was. broken, and there were
ugly bruises on his head and face.
Frank Ferris, the foreman of the Has
lett Park section gang, saw Van Ripers
hat and watch beside the track while
going over the line at $3.50 o'clock Wed>
nesday morning. A small pool of blood
hear the spot gave him an inkling of the
tragedy, and with other section men he
searched for and recovered the remains
from five feet of water beside the road
bed where the body was wholly con-
cealed Van Riper's remains were re-
moved on passenger train to Shafts
burg, where an inquest will be held Sat-
urday at l o'clock
! The Grand Trunk company has con.
siderable trouble with the sink hole in
question this summer, and it has been
necessary to fill in almost constantly
with dirt to keep the roadbed in safe
condition. AS safeguard against acct
dent Van Ripper was employed to re-
main there nights to give warning to
approaching trains in case of necessity.
Orders have been issued commanding
engineers to slow up their trains before
traversing the stretch of track through
the sink hole, but have not been regu-
larly observed.
1t is supposed that train struck Van
Ripper and threw him into the water.
Van Ripper had worked on the section
for several years, and was but 20 years
of age. He is survived by his wife, to
whom he had been married only six
weeks, and his parents.

chemistry, and during that time he has
given excellent satisfaction. He has
had considerable special work in the
line of chemistry at the University of

chemist for one of the large beet sugar
factories, all being experience which
tends to make him the more valuable in
the position he holds in the high school.
He is considered good disciplinarian
