Result of Making Himself Ohice BOY

"Be good to the Office boy is moral
taught by the career of William Alden
Smith of Michigan. He had saved a
little money and wanted a place to
study Blackstone. This was in 1879.
He thought first of Chicago and even
went so far as to go to that city and
apply for a place as Office boy in the
firm of Walker d Dexter. But it was
in the summer and the heads were all
out Of town, and he ended by return
ing to Grand Rapids. Here he selected
the firm of Burch & Montgomery. He
had suggested this before. but they had
not needed him. He was this time con
frontcd by closed office and a card
tackled on the door saying they were
out of town and would not be back for
several weeks.
But this did not daunt Smith, who
looked up Mr.. Pierce the owner of the
building and a man of some promi-
nence in the town. He told Pierce
what he wanted and finally persuaded
him TO give him pass key to the office.
And so it happened when Judge Burch
returned he found his Offices swept and
garnished and a brisk young clerk dill
gently reading at one of the desks To
the inquiries of the judge the yOung
fellow replied that he had come to
stay; that he was the office boy at

Five Cents worth of serrs-.

An amusing story is told of the Rev.
Fl. S Thrall. one of the pioneers OF
Methodism in Texas. In company with
number of itinerants who were on
their way to conference DR.. Thrall
stopped to spend the night with an old
farmer. 1t was the custom then to set
tie the bill at night. SO that they might
rise about 3 o'clock in the morning and
ride a good way before breakfast and
lie by in the heat of the day. DR..
Thrall. acting as spokesman of the par
ty, said TO the old farmer after supper:
I'VE are a company of Methodist
preachers going to conference. II you
will get the family together. we will
have prayers with you" After pray
ers one by one settled his bill. DR..
Thrall's turn came, and he asked for
his bill The old farmer replied, "Well,
pa'son. charged the rest 25 cents;
but. bein' as you prayed for us so good,
won't charge you but 20 cents" The
brethren had the laugh on Dr. Thrall.

Boston, April 20. - The announce
ment of the discovery Of the cause of
smallpox was made last night by Dr..
William T. Councilman, professor of
pathology in the Harvard Medical
School, at a meeting Of the Boston So
ciety of Medical Science. The an
nouncement is the outcome of the in
vestigations conducted by DR.. COun-
Gilman. Dr. George Burgess McGrath
and DR.. Walter Remsen Brinckerhoff,
with the cooperation of the Boston
board of health, during the recent cpl
demic of the disease in this city. 1t
has been determined that smallpox
is caused by a micro-organism repre-
sentative Of the lowest form of animal
life This fact serves to show a re-
lation between smallpox and such dis
eases as malaria and to distinguish it
from many other infectious diseases
caused by bacteria.

St. Paul. MINI, April 20. - George
I C. Scuires, an attorney Of this city and
a brother-in-law of Major Edwin F.
Glenn. has written an open letter ad-
dressed to General Nelson A. Miles, in
which he replies to the structures upon
Major Glenn in General Miles report
upon alleged atrocities in the Philip
pines The letter follows:
Major Glenn. as you are doubtless
aware. was tried something over year
AGO for administering the so-called
water cure to a traitorous Filipino
While he was convicted and given
most absurd sentence lone months
suspension from duty, with pay, and
fine of $500, it is an open secret that
the court which tried him on the hrst
ballot voted unanimously for acluittal,
and then. on the suggestion of some
member of the court, reconsidered the
vote. on the theory that an acqiuttal
would be construed in the United
States as an official approval OF the
water cure, but every meHlDeI Vi 'Li0
court attached TO the finding a paper in
which Major Glenn's conduct in Panay
was highly commended and the review
ing authority was requested to exer-
else clemency.
ut is a remarkable spectacle that
the commanding general of the armies
of the United States should attempt to
besmirch the good names and records
of his own brother officers and hold
them up to the world as unfit for the
positions which they held.
I'm conclusion. let me suggest that
not even your prejudice against the
administration or the well-founded i'm
preston that you went to the Philip
pines to find fault with existing condi-
tions is a sufficient justification for the
general Of a great army, which has
gone through untold hardships and pri-
vations, to announce to the world upon
hearsay that his brother officers, grad
yates Of the finest of all military
schools. are unworthy of the uniforms

LIoyd,s In Time of Anxiety.

Only recently a great Atlantic liner
was announced to be three days over
due. On the third day there was no
noticeable advance in the rate charged
for those who had neglected to insure
property shipped upon it, but on the
fourth day, when anxiety as to both
the passengers and the property on
board had increased. it was ominOusly
from Lloyds that the rate of
insurance upon that particular vessel
had been advanced to $40 in $500. This
was on Tuesday. On Wednesday, when
no further news had been heard, the
rate had jumped to S2J in the $500.
On Thursday it reached $50, and by
Friday the enormous sum of 500 in
$500 was declared to be the rate in any
and all manner of insurance upon the
missing vessel. 1t is needless to say
how horribly these announcements con-
frmed the anxious fears of those most
deeply concerned in the arrival of the
vessel, for all the world knows that if
there is any hope it will be longest
found at Llcy7a 1t - also needless to
say that wen the great liner in ques-
ton finally reached her dock in New
York nowhere was there greater re-
ioicing at the announcement than in
the room where it was tolled out by
the bell of the Lutine and read by the
crier to the assembled crowd at

ottumwa, Ia, April 29.-PresideEt
Roosevelt dashed across the state oi
Iowa and was everywhere met by
large and enthusiastic crowds. His
speechmaking began at z o'clock in
the morning, when he made a briei
stop at Shenandoah, and his last
speech was delivered here shortly af-
ter s o'clock at night before thousands
of people His speech here was pre-
ceded by a short drive through the
city, although his train was late and
did not arrive until after dark. He
spoke on the good work Secretary
Wilson has done in the field of agri-
culture.
The president had as his guests Gov
ernor Cummins, Secretary Shaw and
Congressman Hull and Hepburn. He
spent the night here, leaving at 4.SO
o'clock this morning for Keokuk, and
will arrive at St. Louis this afternoon
shortly after 4 o'clock.
One of the largest crowds that has
greeted the president since his trip
began was waiting for him at Des
Moines. He was taken for a long
drive through the city and stopped for
a moment to address the Mystic
Shriners, who were holding a conven-
tion there. He was then driven to the
capitol, where he made an extended
address on good citizenship, inciden-
tally paying tribute to Congressman
Hull for his efforts in securing the
new militia law. At Des Moines the
president kissed a number of babies.
During the drive, four mothers, each
with a baby in her arms, approached
his carriage and handed him bou-
quets of flowers. They then held the
babies up to be kissed, and the presi-
dent did not disappoint them.
One of the features Of the day was
the large number of school children
that greeted the president. At every
place he stopped, and at many places
where the train did not stop, the lit
tie people were congregated, waving
small American flags. This feature
pleased the president very much, and
he referred to the children several
times during gthe day.
The president is bearing the strain
of the trip splendidly, and his face has
not yet lost the tan it acquired during
his two weeks in Yellowstone Park.

A RICH FIND
In An Old House In Taylor
County, W Va,
Five Hundred Dollars Found In The
Walls.

Carpenters engaged In tearing
away the old William Hamilton
property at Evansville, during the
past week, found stored away In
the walls the sum of FIVE hundred
dollars in gold pieces OF all denomin'
atoms used by the United States.
This historic old building, which
has been standing for many long
years, weatherlng the storms of
severe winters and hot summers,
has at last been forced to give way
to the march of progress, and In Its
place will be erected fine, modern
dwelling house. 1t was a land
mark that will be clearly remem-
bered by many of the older citi-
zens of this and adjoining counties
who travelled the stage route and
who have stopped on many &C.
casions at the old building, used
for a number of years as a hotel.
lust how the money came to be
placed In the wall will doubtless
ever remain a mystery. The
general superstition, however, Is
that Nh. Hamilton, now deceased,
during the war and upon the ap-
proach of antagonistic forces, placed
the money there fol- safe'keeping,
either forgetting where he had
put 1t or desiring 1t to remain there
as possible contingent fund for
the future years, eventually for
getting all about 1t with the flight
of time. The laborers engaged In
tearing down the building were
honest, and the gold was therefore
delivered to the man who had the
greatest right to it-Mr. Link
Dennison, who married a daughter
of the hoose of Hamilton. Grafton
