A BRILLIANT AMERICAN WOMAN.
Counties. Won waider.ee, Who H..
Been Power In German Politics,

Countess Won Waldersee, Who Ha,
been Power In German Politics.
One of the most influential Ameri-
can women in Europe Is the Countess
Won Waldersee. who is now on visit
to her early home in this country. For
years she has been power at the
German court and in times past was
pitted against the great Bismarck.
The countess was Miss Esther Lee,
daughter Of David B. Lee, pioneer
wholesale grocer on South street. New
York. When her father died her moth
err took her and her sisters to Paris.
There. Esther was educated.
In 1867 she married Prince Freder-
lex Won Schleswig- Holstein. She was
very young then. while the German
prince was an old man. The prince
gave up his titles and made her his
bride. Six months later he died of
apoplexy. leaving his girl wife $4,000
GOO. The princess, who held the hon.
orury title Of Princess DE Noer, was
ut Weisbaden In 1858. when she met
Count Alfred Won Waldersee, whom
she married two years later.
The countess became confidant of
the Emperor and was said to have
caused Bismarck's overthrow. She was
ambitious as well as brilliant and she
wished that her husband should sue
coed the iron chancellor" During the
closing years Of Bismarck's life she
was identified with every movement
that seemed to weaken his hold on
imperial favor. DR.. Stoker. the court

In old days. when cities were sur
rounded by walls. and had gates which
were closed at sunset, the freedom of
tho city" meant key delivered in a
beautiful casket, and perhaps an H.
Illuminated parchment. The old custom
has never died. Even the time honored
name still clings to the practice by
which a city. acting as host, bestows
formal and dignifed hospitality upon
distinguished guest. Note that 1t is
still the city which does this. The
smallest political unit, not the largest,
10 the one which figures most often and
most extensively as an entertainer.
The nation entertains only the most
distinguished of individuals or those
Of the highest rank. The same is true
Of the State, the next political unit.
But the cities-how they open their
arms to the thousands. and In the best
sense of the word give them "the free
dom of the cityr' Once a year the
members OF the Grand Army gather
.lss their reunion and parade. 1t may
be In Portland. Me-. or 1t may be In
San Francisco. Once year. too, other
organizations gather. like the great ed
ucational association, or the Christian
Endeavorers, and with each successive
year a new host comes forward and
in the most hospitable way tries to
make Its guests comfortable and hap
py. It would be difficult to measure
the good that these meetings do. The

Simple Bookkeeping.


The supervision Of every store should
extend to the books.
The simplest is always the best
method of expression. Why use pen,
penholder, ink and erascrs, when
pencil with rubber on the end will
supply all demands better, cheaper and
with less labor.
Is there any good reason why re-
tail merchant should not keep his
books in lead pencil? One of Chicago's
largest wholesale houses does.
II pencil is used. then the books used
can be of cheaper paper and CORE
spondingly less expensive. Therefore,
1 think retail merchants books should
be kept with hard lead or indellible
pencil.
1t is easier, cleaner. takes less time,
and makes the correction of errors
quicker and easier. Ink is no safe
guard against errors or dishonesty. A
man can falsify and steal as easily
through ink as through pencil.
Bookkeeping is only memorandum
work, anyhow. Make it as simple and
easy as possible. Don't waste profit
in ink. 1t Is the little leaks that eat
up the profits. Unnecessary labor is
leak. Expensive paper in books is
wasteful. l believe in cheap paper
and pencils, bright boys or girls who
can add and subtract, and good COM
mon sense business judgment to tell
them how to put the figures down SO
they will add up, something to show
the movement of the business.-victor

The acting superintendent Of chill
dren's home asked some boys on tho
street what they were good for. One
little fellow, from the depths of his
wisdom, answered: I'VE are the stuff
they make men Of Give us a show"
There is the text for a fine sermon.
In this world we reap as We SOW. The
crop that goes into the ground is the
crop that will come out of the ground.
Whether you deal with wheat or boys,
you will get pretty nearly what you
plant. Most of us have hazy idea
about the future of the boy. He is a
young animal, with an abnormal ap-
petite and a thousand faults. His faith
er tells him to avoid bad company,
hands out moral lesson or two, when
he happens to think about 1t at all,
and turns over the rest of the training
to mother, who. God bless her, weeps
and prays and loves, and knows prac-
tically nothing CT the pitfalls that are
an open book to her boys father. How
can she warn him and explain things,
when in her blessed Innocence she
doesn't know tenth part of the
cuseedness that exists in the world!
II you want the boy to be a successful
minister, doctor, lawyer or toiler at
any Of hundred trades, you must be-
gin to plan now-to think about next
year. and the time when he has
stretched out of his clothes and pays
an occasional visit to the barber You
can teach him industry, even II his
task is no more than cutting the grass
In the front yard. You can teach him
to scorn lie and love the truth; to be
kind and thorough and careful. You
can make him learn to save without
being miserly, and spend without be-
ing prodigal. You can help him to
build strong body, and that will be
better than money in the bank when
he reaches the forties. You can en-
courage his natural goodness and
check his inherited mischievousness
You can make a good man of him,
and the burden of that duty is far
more with the parent than with the
child. 1t takes time and trouble and
effort. But 1t pays. There is nothing
finer in this world than square, up.
right, thinking, human being-the
highest type of Gods work. So, don't
always think of boy simply as boy,
but as man that he is to be-and
give him show.

The meanest man has been found.
His wife, abused and neglected by
him. was dying. He asked his en-
ployer to let him OF on this account
But instead Of going to his wife's bed
side he boarded a car for the ball
game where he occupied seat in the
grandstand and yelled as loudly as
any Of the rooters. When told that
his wife was dead he expressed no
concern. Although free in expendi.
ture, he said he had no money for
funeral expenses and that the county
could bury the remains. The poor.
wife's body found q resting place In
q pauper's grave. The brute did not
even 90 to the cemetery. And you
say there is no hell? You say the
scourge of remorse will make this
man suffer7 It wouldn't make dent
in his conscience in hundred years.
Society can punish by scorn and ostra-
cismf What does such an animal care
what decent persons do or think? The
only thing that would raise a welt
Of regret In his soul would be a raw
hide applied to his back by band
Of whitecappers. Whew! 1t makes
ose's hand itch to join the band and
WELD a switch.

Raiiroads the Instruments Of Great
ing Wealth ard Power.
Just ffty years have passed since
the ground was plated on which the
Seattle of to-day stands. Just about
the same length of time has passed
since the state Of which 1t il the me-
tropolis was organized as territory.
In the case Of each of them, how
ever, the real growth has been but re-
cent, and 1t has been largely crea-
ton Of the railroads. Although Wash
ington was organized as territory in
1858, 1t had only II. GOO inhabitants in
1860, 1900 in 1870 and 1900 In 1880.
Then came jump to $4,000 in 1890
and to $4,000 In 1900. The spring
from the 5000 mark to $4,000 be-
tween 1880 and 1890 was due to the
fact that Wizards Northern Pacific
railroad, which was completed in 1888,
had connected that State with the out
side world in the interval.
Throughout the whole of the West
and Of course through the East and
South also-the railroads have exerted
a benencent influence, although Its eff
fects are not quite SO marked on all
communities rs they have been on
Washington and its leading city. At
the outset seattle's expansion was 90
slow that as recently as 1880 its popu-
lation was only $500. 1t has fine
location on an arm Of Puget Sound.
through which the Asiatic and Alaska
trade of large part of the continent
is pouring, and through which in Inn
measurably larger quantity will pour
a few years hence, The lumber indus
try, which has had much to do with
the growth of Its State, also contrib
uted greatly to Seattle's advancement.
1t is the railroads. however, which
have been the chief instrument In that
Northwest city's expansion. The North
ern Pacific road opened in 1883. sent
that towns population up from $500
in 1880 to 1900 In 1890. and 1t was
$4,000 in 1900. Probably the increase
in the current decade will be greater
than 1t was in the past ten years. The
entire West Is growing at rate not
touched in the decade which had the
1887 panic in 1t. The new North
west is getting large share Of this
growth. and as the trade with Asia
and Alaska is bound to increase with
great rapidity In the approaching time
Washington, Oregon and California, es-
pecially Washington. are sure to ac-
quire much greater Importance
among the commemorative than they
possess now. and this ascendency will
be shared in particularly large de.
gree by their great centers of Industry
and commerce.-St. Louis Globe Dem.

BRIGHAM YovNo'is BEGINNING,

Near Rechester

Had Hard Struggle as q Carpenter
Near Rochester.
About the year 1880, Brigham Young
and family settled in Port Byron, says
the Rochester Post Express. 1t was
then known as Bucksville, and, boosted
of 100 inhabitants. There was no ca
nal or railroad in those days, and the
settlers had to hew down trees in Or
der to make clearing in which to
build house. During the first few
years of Young's stay he made his
home with Squire Pin., who lived in
the corner Of Pine and South streets.
The Pine house is now about 100 years
old. 1t is now owned and occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. James d. Dixon.
Brigham Young was a carpenter, and
old residents of Port Bryon say that
lie was an expert at his trade, but
work was scarce and he was always
hard up. 1t was long time before
he saved money enough to buy lumber
to build his own house. 1t was his
Intention to build himself fine house,
but IT turned out to be very ordinary
frame structure. 1t was built soon
after the Erie canal was put through,
and was located near the heel path
side of the canal. The Young house
has long since been moved. A part Of
the original structure now stands back
Of the Newkirk livery stables, and is
unoccupied.
Brigham Young's family comprised
his wife and one son, Brigham, Jr,
who died recently at Salt Lake City.
Young at that time was firm be.
lever in Mormonism. He left Port
Byron, or Buckville, in 1850, and went
to Utah, and subsequently became ia
nous as the leader of the Mormons.
In after years, when he was famous,
one Of his cd acquaintance wrote to
him ana asked him II he was the
Brigham Young of Port Bryon, and IL
he were could he pay Squire Pine for
large beard bill. Squire Pine was
then an old man and in poor circum-
stances. In short time Squire Pine
received letter from Young, and In
closed was the money in full for his
board with interest Young was then
rich man and said he was very glad
to pay up his old debts.

HANDY WHEN you GO CAMPING.

The average American boy often
feels the desire to get into the wild.
Sometimes he Is able to fulfill the de-
sire. When he is, he should be con-
graduated, for the life of the we'll
regulated camps is JOY unknown to
the cooped-up city man.
The tent is the important feature.
and good one is absolutely neces-
sary. Otherwise the camper will be
subject to unexpected duckings, or
may wake up to find himself without
cover in a windstorm.
The camp fre lis another important
consideration. Several styles are used.
depending on the locality. "A good fire
place Is built of stones, piled one on

spaces between the stones furnish

five feet lower than that OF its near
neighbor. the Black sea, which also
lies far below the level Of the oceans.
The common conclusion all along has
been that the Caspian was simply los
ing Its waters by evaporation, but re-
cent investigation shows that this Ia
not the case. Soundings made and
compared with records of soundings
made over 100 years ago reveal the
astounding fact that there is even a
greater depth Of water now than then.
This leaves but one hypothesis that
would seem at all tenable- that the
bottom OF the sea Is actually sinking.
