as quickly as possible. II it is some
thing individual, the rest will be easy"
The completed shade, carried home
the next day but one, was not only in
dividual but strikingly beautiful. The
rich woman went into raptures over il,
and instantly ordered several more,
paying for them generously, and In adj
vance. BY the time they were done,
she had orders for half a dozen, Sc
cured for her protege, among her
friends. To the protege, along with
the orders she gave sound advice:
''Never send out a shade that is less
than your best" she said. "And
charge for it accordingly. People who
have money are only too glad to pay
well for anything really distinctive.
Keep away from the shops and the
shop models. Trust your eye for color
harmonies, and your own sense of lines.
1t is the shops with their set patterns
for the multitude that would rather be
out of the world than the fashion,
which stihe originality. or else pay It
so moderately ii has never a fair
chance. Take a shop of your own-in
good quarter no matter how tiny-be
polite to purchasers but never over
anxious, don't lower prices nor work
manship, and you will do well.''
The little shop In a swell quarter was
duly taken. Very shortly there was a
workwoman in it to help the proprietor
And pretty soon the one workwoman
had companions, many or few accord
ing to season. The shop too was out
grown before a year had passed. Next
year one twice its size proved also
much too small-not for Christmas
rushes and such like TIRES, but for
steady custom. So other floors we're
added, and later other store fronts. AS
a result the proprietor now spends
three months of each year abroad,
studying colors, materials, heaven
knows what. She owns one of the big
gest and most artistic lamp-shade

gion, is always on the lookout for wo-
men with artistic ability, and when she
finds them. pays them to work for her
at rates that remember her own time
OF need. She is on the point OF setting
up a wholesale business, albeit by SELL
ing at retail she has already laid by a
comfortable sum. All which goes to
show that there is money in artistic
finger tips-if there be common sense
in the head that goes along with them.

bers of Tammany Hall. he openly at
tackled certain methods of that organ
ization that he did not approve. and
vigorously denounced Richard Croker
and his rule.
When the time came to nominate a
successor to Mayor Van Wyck IL was
thought by many that Mr.. Coler. who
was probably the most popular man In
the administration, would be chosen
as the~Democratic candidate. But Mr..
Croker could not forgive the attacks
on him in speeches and magazine arti-
cles, especially in the publication on
"Commercialism in Politics." and
though he had to select a recognized
reformer as a candidate, he chose Ed
ward NJ. Shepard and ignored Mr..
Coler.
Mr.. Coler is the particular protege
of Hugh Mclaughlin, who controls
Democratic politics in Brooklyn, and
he is regarded as the strongest poll
tician In that big borough. His resi-
dence is at pa Hancock street, Brook
lyn.
He is not a native of New York.

paign, IS years ago. The son of Will
liam n. Coler, he is a member of the
Arm of w. N. Coler g. Co.. of the New
York Stock exchange, and possesses
strong following among financiers.
Mr.. Golfer has written number Of
magazine articles on municipal affairs,
and in 1900 wrote the volume. "Munic-
ipal Good as Illustrated by the Char
ter, Finances and Public Charities of
New York." an exhaustive and original
work.
One of the most notable of Mr.. Co
ler's financial achievements was the
floating of $S5.O0O.O00 in bonds at a
much higher rate than New York mu-
nicipal securities had been disposed of
in former years. He also had much to
do with financing the New York sub
way, which is one of the largest en-
terprises any city has ever under
taken.
Since his retirement from the con-
trollership a year ago he has been ac-
lively engaged In private business.

so we will have to borrow a saw down
there and make some mallets."
Under his directions the boys sawed
small log into round lengths of about
ten inches.
They then bored a hole in each piece,
midway between the ends and fully
two-thirds the way through.
Then they cut stakes about four feet
six inches long and Whitfield down one
end of each to At the holes. They split
the whitfield ends and inserted wedges
in the split part. Figure will show
this. When the stakes were driven
home these wedges secured them so
firmly in their places that there was no
danger that the heads and handles of
the mallets would, under any cireum-
stances, part company. Figure shows
the completed mallet.
The boys then cut down the selected
tree. They cleared it of boughs and
branches and with their axes, mallets
and wedges, managed to split the por-
ton of it they meant to use. This was
hard work, but the harder the work

Bird S. Golfer, RefOrmer.
From the Baltimore Sun.

The nominee of the New York Demo-
Gratis for Governor is the leader of the
younger reform element of Brooklyn. He
first came into general notice by his
vigorous administration OF the affairs of
the office of controller, the chief finan-
cial officer of New York city, in which
he served during the Van Wyck adj
ministration. Though a member of an
administration that was severely as
sailed he won the highest praise for
his non-partisan conduct of the city's
financial affairs. 1t required no small
measure of ability to disentangle the
affairs of IS separate sections and mu-
inequalities and amalgamate them into
a system for the Greater New York.
and his accomplishment of this task
was generally commended.
Even though his election was in a
large measure due to the votes of mem

Don't you see the shoots growing out
OF the old root? That's always the
way with chestnut tree. 1t is like
some men, it won't stay downed. Blow
1t down, cut 1t down. or burn it down,
and 1t starts again. That tree has been
standing leafless and dead since the
forest fire killed it three years ago, and
see how tall that sprout is already.
The wood is all right, we'll seasoned
and easy to split. The ants haven't
honeycombed it either, as they do most
dead trees. And the trunk is quite long
enough.
I'VE can get wedges at the sawmill,"
added Sam; ''but we have no maIlets,
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-10-26

To make this doubly sure holes were
bored all the way through both stakes
at their intersections and stout oaken
pegs driven home, pinning them Sc
curely together.
With much hauling and shouting the
two long slabs into which the trunk of
the chestnut tree had been split were
conveyed, one at a time, down to the
stream, and, one at a time, the boys
working all together were placed on
the braces that the boys had nailed
across the crossed stakes. The slabs
reached from shore to shore, and
formed an excellent roadbed when fas-
tened together by ties, as figure 6, for
the planks obtained from the sawmill.
which, when placed upon it, completed
the structure.

MONKEYS WITH LONG NOSES.
Most monkeys have nothing but nos

Most monkeys have nothing but nose
holes, and no real nose, as we consider
1t. But there is a monkey In Borneo
who has a long nose, longer even than
that of a particularly long-nosed hu-
man beings.
A specimen of this monkey, known
as the Proboscis Monkey, has just been
brought alive to Europe, and is now
in Hamburg.
The queer creature has attracted
much attention. 1t looks so grotesdue-
ly human like-very much like a man
who has put on a big artificial nose
for fun. But tire monkey can move
his nose, which Is more than human
being can do. He can move 1t upward
or downward, and he can make 1t stick
out straight from his face.
1t is very rare to find a proboscis
monkey in captivity. Must of them die
before they get much farther than
Suez because they are very sensitive
to the changes in temperature and to
the conditions of captivity.
The one in Hamburg has been named
"Kiki." He looks extremely mild and
gentle, but his reputation is different
He is accused of being wicked and
treacherous.

the better the fun, If 1t it done for the
fun of it.
The boys cut a number of stakes,
sawed off one end of each and pointed
the other, after which, dressed in their
bathing suits, they went into the mud
and water and with their mallets drove
the pointed ends of the stakes firmly
into the bed of the stream. The stakes
were driven across each other so that
when the work was done they stood,
one pair after the other. like SO many
KS extending from one bank of the
stream to the other.
Braces were then nailed as nearly
as possible at the same distance above
the surface of the stream to prevent
the stakes from spreading apart and
to form a support for the road bed.
Figure shows this.

Climb it?" asked Tom.
No; of course not" cried Sam.
There's an easier way than that"
He drove down a stake until just
TWO feet of it appeared above ground.
The sun was rising so that the long
shadow cast by the stake soon meas
uured one foot. just half the length OF
the stake itself.
Now" said Sam, you see how
plainly the trunk and branches Of that
dead tree yonder are Swallowed on the
ground under it. All we have to do Is

and multiply it just according to the
shadow cast by the stick. In this case
we multiply the shadow of the tree by

Its exactly where that big bunch

boy
Sam drove a little peg in the ground
at the point indicated by the boy.
BY measurement with his tape Sam
then found the distance from where the
boy stood to the Dag he had driven in
the ground to be eleven feet, which
showed that the brook was about as
far across, and, therefore, log to
reach across a proper distance over
each bank, should be about seventeen
feet long.

Flood q Disastrous One.
Spectsl Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
BOYD'S, Md. March 3, 1902.
The receding waters of the Potomac at
Seneca showed the canal at that point and
west of there to be ip very bad condition.
Seneca Is ten miles south of Boyd's. The
breaks reported are four in number, and
all Of them very serious ones. More than
half of the mill dam Of the Seneca Touring
mills there was washed out. The canal Tor
miles back of Seneca is full of all kinds OF
debris, such as hog pens. outbuildings corn
fodder. lumber and trees. all twisted up
into a mass, which will require several
weeks to remove.
Frederick A. Alnutt, merchant at Sem
eca, had his store damaged by the high
waters The store Is built on the banks
OF the canal and right at the lock at that
point. 1t is feared by many along the
canal that the damage done to the water
way by this flood will seriously interfere
With the waterway a mode Of transport
tstion Those who live along the canal are
very uneasy over the situation. as many OF
the river settlers depend upon the old canal
for living.
The Monocacy river. at Dickerson's. is at
noon today within it's banks, is the
Potomac at Point Of Rocks. The houses
Oh the river side there were left in bad
condition. many of the floors of the houses

streets of that town are sight. being coy
cred with debris and mud. The aqueduct
at the mouth of Monocacy river had it's
arches freed OF the filth which had jammed
into them by the receding waters The rail-
road tracks at TuscarOra are in
more solid condition, but at this point and
at the many breaks on the old main line
between Harpers Ferry and Cumberland,
the trains lose from thirty minutes to one
hour In the exercise of caution while pass
ing over the tracks where the waters had
taken the embankments and roadbed away.
The river at all points Is gradually re-
ceding and much relief Is felt over the sit
uation as it was thought this flood would
be a repetition Of 1889. when so much dam
age was done.
