WORTH $300,0o0,0

The President of certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, 900, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of tho
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members Of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
I have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, hsaviness, weakness or pain.
1t may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches Of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be a
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions, etc., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. 1t relieves at once
and cures quickly. 1t stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm

Showing what Determination
Will Acconpllsh-A Man Of
Fine PrlnciDle.

Leslie Mortimer Shaw was born in
Morristown, VT, on November 81, 1s4s.
He is the son of Boardman Ozias Shaw,
whose father. Ebenezer Shaw, was one
of the earliest settlers and selectmen
of Morristown. His mother was q
daughter of Jason Spaulding, teach
er of some reputation in the eastern
part of New York state.
Boardman Shaw moved to u farm in
Stowe, VT, where Leslie NJ. spent his
minority. He received his early edu-
cation in the common schools of his
county and the Peoples academy, of
Morristown, Vt. He removed to Iowa
in 1869 and was graduated at Cornell
college, Mount Vernon, in 1874.
Leslie NJ. Shaw was dependent upon
his own efforts in obtaining an educa-
tion, but with characteristic persist
ence went to work. He taught school
in the winter and worked in the har-
vest fields in the summer, Several win
ters he tramped all over northwestern
Iowa selling fruit trees and nursery
stock. His energy was wonderful and
he was determined to succeed in spite
of his poverty. And he did. After
years of hard work he earned sufti-
cient to complete his college and pro.
fessional courses and was graduated
from the Iowa College of Law in 1876
In the same year he located in the
practice of his profession at Deni.

Snail. a. window Cleaners.

Snails have long been employed in
England for cleaning windows. The
creatures are dipped in cold water
and then placed upon the pane. They
crawl around slowly, devouring all
foreign matter and leaving the glass
quite bright and clear. They are, of
course, used only for upper windows,
that are not easily reached from the
outside. Water snails also command
a ready sale. Almost every aquarium
owner keeps few water snails. They
are the best of scayengers, and keep

and has held the position of president
of the board of trustees from it's or
ganization. He is also trustee of
Cornell college, and for several years
was president of the school board of
Denison. He is president of the Bank
of Denison at Denison and the Bank
of Manila at Manila.
Gov. Shaw has always been a sue
cessful lawyer. He was a student Of
law and a deeper student of human ma
ture. In his practice he made use Of
the experience he had acquired in his
hard struggle to get an education. He
is esteemed by all his acquaintances in
practice as one of the best lawyers in
the northwestern part Of the state, al
though prior to 1896 he was not widely
known.
In February, 1896, at the beginning
of the memorable free silver contro.
versy of that year, Mr.. Shaw was re-
quested by the adherents of the gold
standard to reply to an address made
in his town by William Jennings
Bryan. From that date to the end of
the campaign, which resulted in the
election of William Mckinley as presi-
dent. he was kept busy. His speeches
made him a national character. This
brought his name prominently before
the state, and when, in the following
year, Gov. Drake declined to be can
didate for denomination. attention
was directed to Shaw, and three weeks
later he received the nomination Of
the republican party for governor.
He was elected (on the day he was 49
years old) by plurality Of 29,s76 and
a majority Of 11,176. Two years later
he was reelected by $3.50 plurality
and a majority of nearly $4,000, the
largest ever given candidate for gov
ernor in Iowa up to that time. He
was selected by the sound money CON-
mission to preside at the Indianapolis
convention in 1898, where his address
attracted national attention, as had
his speeches in the preceding guberna-
torial canvass.
In religious faith Gov. Shaw is q
Methodist. For more than 20 years
he was superintendent of one and
much of the time two Sunday schools
and he has represented the Des Moines
conference three times in The general
conference of his church, and has re-
Gently been elected such representa-
tive for the fourth time, an honor un-
precedented in the lay representation
of that church.
In June, 1898, Simpson college Mt In
dianola conferred upon him the degree
of LII. d., which degree was also con-
ferred on him the following year by
his alma mater. He was married De-
cember G, 1877, to Alice, daughter of
James Crawshaw, a native Of England.

will give the word wood" and strive
in vain to make the four simple let

failed you can complete the little

The second remains unaltered. One
match is taken from the top of the

can earn in his profession. In his
four years service at the head of the
post office department Mr.. Smith has
steadily grown poorer in money.
Though everyone admits he has made
the best postmaster general she coun-
try ever had, Uncle Sam is tn lose his
services Because the salary is too
small.
Many pubaSc men believe the time
has come to increase the salaries of
cabinet officers to reasonR BILE figure,
say 100000 a year. 1t costs a man
from $4,000 to $4,000 year to live
in Washington and keep up an es-
tablishment BETTING the dignity OF o
member of the cabinet, and many
cabinet officers have spent much
larger sums. If the government
wants first-class men it should pay
first-class salaries, as other employ
ers have to do.
AS it is now, no man can afford to
accept a cabinet place unless he has
a large independent income. Attor-
ney General Griggs retired because
he could not afford to stay longer. 1t
has cost Secretary Gage 100000 to
serve the government five years.
Secretary Root has sacrificed at the
rate of $4,000 a year to make the
best secretary Of war the country has
seen in good many years 1t is time
to increase the salaries, which were
fixed when the country was small and
poor.
