FRENZEL HAS WHIP HAND
MAY CONTROL CONSUMERS COMPANY
WITH MINORITY DIRECTORS.
Constitution Forbids Increase of In
debtedness Save by Two-Thirds
Vote of Board-Gas League.

To carry out the plan of converting the
Consumers Gas Trust Company into a
mandatory of fuel and illuminating gas
the new directors and President A. A.
Barnes, who stands with them, may have
looked for. John p. Frenzel, who heads the
minority representation on the board of
directors, has called attention to the
eleventh section of the Consumers Gas
Trust Company constitution. 1t reads as
follows:
mo Indebtedness. except for current ex-
penses, shall be contracted by the board
of directors In any other form than the
certificates above mentioned, without the
consent of the board of trustees herein
above prescribed for, acting for the stock
holders And no Indebtedness of any kind
shall be contracted. except upon consent of
two-thirds Of said board of directors
Mr.. Frenzel purposes to make his final
stand, 1t is believed, on this section before
going into the courts. Increased indebted
ness would necessarily follow the fconver-
sion of the company, and the representa-
tives of the public on the board have a
bare working majority, not the two-thirds
that is required to authorize increased in
debtedness.
Maj. w. ]. Richards, speaking for the
new directors, said last night: There is
nothing remarkable about the point Mr..
Frenzel makes. Bylaws are always formed
so that directors may do certain things by
two-thirds vote only. / have no doubt
in the world that the right will triumph
over all technicalities and subterfuges. Mr..
Frenzel believes, / understand that we
cannot sell any of the company's property
without two-thirds vote. L am of opinion
he is mistaken about that. The fact re-
mains that a two-thirds vote is necessary
TO incur debt, but. as l say. the people will
have their way and right will triumph
eventually"

perfunctory about the investigation of the

Destined to Govern, They Knew Need
of Self-eovernment.
A number of years ago Commodore
Perry, speaking to the students of An
tioch college, Ohio, told the following
anecdote, illustrating the perfect dis
cipline maintained among the naval
cadets of his time:
Some twenty-five years ago was
carelessly walking on the levee of
city OF the Adriatic. A short distance
from the shore lay man-of-war at
anchor. l called an oarsman, and told
bin to return for me in an hour.
Il wandered over the beautiful ship,
admiring it's guns, it's keeping, it's ad-
mirable appointments and it's excellent
management, shown by its condition.
At the end of my hour l began to look
for my oarsman. Just then / discov-
cred door on my right. l opened It.,
and in that room sat thirty-two boys.
l had been there an hour and had not
heard stir enough to show that so
much as a bird was alive on that boat.
The youngest cadet came to the
door and welcomed me with his cor.
dial military salute. Boy, where Is
your teacher?' Gone ashore, sir Do
you keep absolute order while he is
gone? Certainly. sir
Then passing to the front. said
to one of the older boys: Young
man. why do you act so differently
from other boys? Are you afraid OF
being punished?'
The cadet rose to his feet. Sir,
said he, you see before you thirty
two cadets. We all expect to govern
others in our future work. The first
element of good governor is self
government; sir, we are practicing
that"
The commodore added: THAT vas

dence of God none of these young
men have been called to eternity.

Judge sIebeckcr,s uniaue peeisio,

Judge Siebecker's Unique Decision.
Judge Siebecker of Wisconsin has
displayed Solomon-like wisdom in
some of his decisions. Two men ap-
peared before him. One was butcher,
who claimed that the defendant owed
him $40 for meat bill. The defend
ant. a strikingly thin and gaunt figure,
denied the bill. Statements and coun.
ter-statements followed each other
with great rapidity. The lie was
passed, but the constable intervened.
when was this meat purchased
which you sold the defendant?" asked
the Judge.
During the past four weeks, your
honor" declared the butcher.
Then decide this case In favor of
the defendant" remarked the Judge,
deliberately. as he scrutininzed the
emaciated figure before him. His ap-
pearance indicates that he has not
eaten $40 worth of meat In his life.

Glanced shyly down at Margaret.
father. who was suffering from slight
illness, and was unable to leave the
house
When the interview with Mr.. Little
was at an end, and John reached the
front door he found Margaret sitting
on the veranda. He thought to pass
her with a formal greeting, but his
intentions usually went astray where
she was concerned, and he was soon
seated near her in wide-armed ver-
anda chair.
Il am sorry missed you when you
called last week." said Margaret after
her fathers illness had been discussed.
I'm sorry. too,' John replied, men
tally condemning the memory Of the
maid, whom he hoped had forgotten
the incident.
The girl said something about you
leaving a note" continued Margaret.
"Yes-er-an invitation to a picnic" "
John said weakly, but the affair was
postponed"
Before you could write the note?"
No; l thought it would be post
poned, so | changed my mind"
Margaret was looking demurely at
rose bush. 1T has been postponed
before" she murmured softly, but her
companion did not hear the remark.
John" she said, in a louder tone. Il
suppose it is only in an invitation to
picnic that you would address me as
your dearest Margaret"
John Kendall turned slowly, and
regarded the object of his affections
with bewilderment. He wondered If
any of the torn bits of paper had been
picked up and pieced together by Mar
garet. but he had scattered them so
widely that that seemed impossible.
Miss Little who had transferred her
gaze from the rose bush to her lovers
face, seemed to enjoy it's expression.
Then John rocked violently in the
veranea chair in the hope that the
action would induce mental stimula-
ton, but it did not.
"Will you come with me for a mo-
ment?" Margaret asked, rising and
entering the house.
John followed her to her study.
There, on the little desk. was the pile
of manuscript paper. Margaret took a
note from the bosom of her dress,
unfolded 1t slowly, and handed it to
John.
There was piece of carbon paper
among the top Sheets" she said, "and
this was under it," and John read an
exact copy of the eifusion he had ad-
dressed to Margaret the week before.
For moment he looked helplessly
at the note, then he glanced shyly
down at Margaret. and the expression
he saw in her eyes was entirely unlike
that with which she had regarded the
editor.
1t seemed to say, Speak for your.
self, John" and had the stolid type
writer which stood on the desk risen
to the occasion 1t would have added
another love scene to its long list.

If one were looking for cure for
bashfulness, carbon paper would seem
an unlikely thing to select. But it was
not exactly cure John Kendall, at least
overcame the effects of his shyness.
Johns bashfulness was most per-
nicious, and while it had not retarded
his career as a successful manufac-
turer, in the flourishing town OF Schuy-
lerville it proved very embarrassing
possession when he was smitten with
the tender passion.
In the first place, Margaret Little
was IAN authoress," and that alone
was an awe-inspiring circumstance. To
be able to write stories which met
with occasional acceptance; to have
the postman sometimes bring her thin
letters containing checks, and not to
be the grinning bearer of bulky pack
ages of rejected manuscripts. placed
her on a plane above other women
in Johns eyes. Not that she needed
such placing, for it would be futile to
chronicle the angelic qualities with
(which he endowed her.
The trouble with this endowment
process was that it was not disclosed
to Margaret. John could write, and
did write, letters teeming with senti-
lment. OF course, 1t was unfortunate
that these letters were never sent. 1t
was more unfortunate that he found
himself unable to express in her pres
ence the feelings which agitated his
six feet of manhood.
He had made three attempts at a
proposal, each of which had ended in
stammering confusion and dire fail
ure, and it is probable that the num-
ber would have been. extended in
definitely, had not rival appeared on
the field.
Anyone who showed Margaret the
slightest attention was a rival in
that the editor of New York maya
zine would come fifty miles to Schuy-
lerville for the sole purpose of con-
sulting Margaret about series Of
stories for his periodical. If this in
nocent purpose brought the editor.
something emotionally attractive in
Margaret's pretty face must have in
duced his temperance within a
month, and it was during this second
visit that John .spurred himself to ac-
ton.
On June afternoon he deserted his
desk and determinedly strobe toward
the Little homestead. His courage
usually lasted until he passed the front
gate, but on this occasion he was sur
prised to find it upholding him even
after he had reached the veranda. 1t
evaporated when he rang the bell A
maid told him that Miss Little had
gone for walk with gentleman from
New York. This information, coming
as a respite. at first relieved John.
Then jealousy renewed his courage,
and he boldly said he wished to leave
q note for Margaret.
In the matter of impassioned mis-
sives John Kendall was no coward,
and he sat at Margaret's little desk
and dashed off few glowing periods
on sheet of her manuscript paper.
When the effusion was finished 1t
proved satisfactory, being, in fact, a
condensation of the others which he
had left unsent He folded 1t neatly,

Owl Saved Him,

King Robert the Bruce. according TO
the well-known story, once owed his
safety to spider. Among the Tartars
of Central Asia there is a belief that
one of their khans or chiefs was pre-.
served, long years ago. by the great
horned owl. He had hidden in a thick
ct to avoid capture by some enemies.
By and by his pursuers came to this
spot. The first thing they saw was an
owl sitting on bush. What did this
mean? 1t signifed. in their eyes, that
this bird would not rest quietly there
If any man were lying concealed close
by. Therefore they argued that the
khan could not be there. and so they
hurried on to search for him else
where. At nightfall the khan made
his way to the camp of his men and
told them how he had been saved
from certain death. His story caused
them ever afterward to look upon the
owl with reverence and love. They
wore it's feathers in their caps as q
pledge of victory.
