Plymouth girl, married her and after
ward moved to Ann Arb0r. Mich.
where he became a teacher In the

gave them mothers care.
Now this daughter has been called
to Southwest Africa by her uncle,
who is the governor general of the
German provinces there, to take charge
of his palace and he also promises to
give her three years Of vocal and in

other nice things for taking care OF

The Sioux City, Qowa) Press tells a
true story of young farmer in North
western Iowa who took load of hogs
to market, ten years ago, which he
sold for s9435. With this M ney he
paid the taxes on the farm he was
trying to own, paid his grocery bill,
called at the bank and paid for an ex-
tension on half a dozen notes, paid
$50 on mower note, and went home
with $3.50 in his pocket.
That night the grocer paid his
clerk and delivery boy: the delivery
boy went to the skating rink and the
clerk to see his best girl and then with
her to the theatre; the lawyer sent
s27 of the money collected on the
mower note to the company and, with
his wife, blow in the other SO at a
church social; the bank cashier was
there too: the tax collector went home
and enjoyed choice Havana by his
own fireside, while the farmer and his
wife spent the evening porting over
sheet of figures trying to figure out
how they were to meet the spring in
terest on the farm mortgage.
Ten years have gone by. Today the
clerk is still clerk, the delivery boy
is running bowling alley for another
man, the bank cashier is dead, the
lawyer has gone west and is booming
some mining stock scheme, the tax
collector is running snide real es-
tate Office, while the farmer and his
wife come to tow6 IN double seated
surrey, and last winter spent several
weeks in California, leaving their six
teen year old boy TO manage their fine
farm which is now free from debt.

OF course the women think that
kid gloves are made out of the tanned
skin Of kids. Manufacturers have
their secrets. and three or four names
suffice to designate all finished gloves.
yet those who know say that If all the
animals which contribute skins could
be reincarnated it would be the most
remarkable menagerie eyer exhibited,
and few known animals would be miss
ing. Even the water has been
searched and an attempt made to use
eelskin. Coltskin from Buenos Ayres,
sheepskin from the Cape of Good
Hope, OK hides from Calcutta, ante
lope skins from the Rocky mountains
and Mocha sheepskins from Alden, on
the Red sea are perhaps the staples,
but moose, musk OK. llama, kangaroo,
peccary, water hog and many others
lose their identity when they reach
the glove.

coRrElYoU TO YOUNG MEN.
The Secretary Of Labor Speaks from a
Full Experience.

Mr.. Cortelyou speaks as follows to
young men beginning business:
''If men spent as much time doing
their work and perfecting themselves
in trying to do it still better as they
do in endeavoring to secure political
influence, and promotion on the
strength of that influence, it would be
much better for them, and their sue
cess would be more rapid. - He added
that his experience had taught him
that in the government service, as
everywhere else, in the long run merit
tells. Here and there, of course, luck
or favoritism helps a man and for the
time being he pushes rapidly to the
front, but it is the old story of the
hare and the tortoise. The man who
wins in the race of life Is the man
who has staying qualities and who
uses his brains. "The trouble with
so many men, Mr.. Cortelyou con-
tinued, sis that they are lacking in
the essential qualities. For instance,
you find stenographer who may be a
good stenographer in so far as he can
take down the words you utter and
accurately reproduce them. but who is
simply machine. If for example,
you should make an obvious mistake,
or if, as so often happens in dictation.
you use a plural where manifestly the
singular is intended, the stenographer
will tranScri be it without either hav-
ing the intelligence or the desire to
make the correction or to call atten-
tion to it. Again you find good
stenographer who has absolutely no
initiative or no imagination. Give
him the exact words to write. and he
will write them, but give him merely
a skeleton and trust him to dress ii
up, and the chances are that he will
be unable to do IL. Then there are
the men who never appear to get into
close touch with their superiors or to
understand their idiosyncrasies, so to
speak. who every day nust be told
the same thing and who only do just
exactly what they have to do. An
other class is composed of intelligent
men who begrudge their work, and
who think that when they are en-
ployed to do certain things they must
not be asked to do any more. These
are the men who show in verlous ways
that they regard it as a hardship,
and in fact as an imposition, to be
asked to work half an hour overtime.
Now, when you find man who conn.,
bines all the qualifications that are
requisite he is bound to succeed. Men
may think at times that their work is
unappreciated, but good men are al
ways in demand and the employer rec
ognizes ability when he finds y

A Remarkable Engine.

Probably one of the largest locomo-
tives in service in this country has been
leased by the Wheeling & Lake Erie
railroad. 1t weighs 800, 600 pounds,
is of peculiar construction and has
power and speed that have never been
pushed to the limit. The locomotive
was built for passenger service, but
is now hauling freight trains. No
one has ever known what it could do
except that it seemed able at all times
to pull anything that was loose at
both ends. The heaviest train that
the Wheeling s. Lake Erie is able to
haul over any of its divisions is easily
pulled by this engine. The engine is
so large that 1t can be used only be-
tween Massillon and Toledo, as 1T will
not pass through any other of the
bridges the road has. The other day
something of a test OF its speed and
power was made. The company usu-
ally makes the run Of Its freights
over its main line at eighteen miles
an hour; in fact, that is rule on that
division. There were some perish; :
Die goods at Massillon which had to
reach Creston to make connection
with the Erie railroad. The distance
is thirty miles and under ordinary cir
cumstances the run would have taken
almost two hours. The word went
out that the Erie connection must be
made, and this big engine was hooked
to a train Of fifty loaded cars and
made the trip in forty-flve minutes.
There was no slipping Of wheels, no
noise OF the engine as though under
heavy pressure, but it was big mon-
ster pulling with ease. Half mile
out the train was under good head
way.

CRITICS HAVE A WORD TO SAY
Chicago's King Il the Almighty Dollar
Blast 1t Our Morals.

Onico8oB ming - the "AAm1Shty DOLLAR
Blast 1t Our Morals.
Delegate Walls, representing the
British blast furnace men, says that
while the output of the United States
blast furnace is double that of the
British furnace not more than half
Of the United States furnaces are of
the most modern type. James Cox,
the delegate for the iron and steel
workers, pays his respects to Chicago,
where he says, THE almighty dollar
Is the unquestioned king" OF the new
postoffice he says ANY third-rate COR
poration in Great ritain would have
accomplished the work in four years
instead of eight. This is illustrative
of government work in general"
d. G. Cummings, of the iron and
steel shipbu;lders, quotes Shipbuilder
Cramp as saying that Great Britain's
position as the leading shipbuilder is
unassailable, and unlikely to be seri-
ously menaced for the next quarter Of
q century" Cummings concludes with
a severe criticism of the social and
moral life in America. where, he says,
gambling aud pleasure seeking ap-
pear to be characteristics. The disre-
gard for human life, the corruption
in politics, and other immoralities tend
to the moral and physical deterioration
of the people and must be arrested IL
disaster is to be avoided"
III. r. Taylor, the delegate Of the OPP
erative bricklayers, says he would be
sorry to see United States methods Of
building adopted in England.
NJ Dollar, representing the nation
al plasterers' union, found the plaster
ing bad, "even In the rooms Of the
White House, where the delegates
were received by President Roosevelt"
W. c. Steadman, representing the par
liamentary committee of the trades I'M
ion congress, says the British work
man cannot he beaten in the world for
solid and well finished work. The del
egates unite in extolnng the nospita-
BILE reception they met with every
where from all classes, which was SO
marked that it interfered somewhat
with their investigations.
Summing up the reports of the dele
gates, the conclusion seems to be that
while keenly conscious of United
States competition. it does not mean
a hopeless position for Great Britain,
for the report says: THE workmen
who have built up American industries
are largely Britishers. Most of the in
ventions in American workshops come
from men hailing from the old coun-
try. ..Let us adopt modern methods
and England will hold her own In the
commercial rivalry of the world"

THE zEHNER CASE
Jury Says the Plaintiff Is Entitled to
$4,000 Damages.

The damage suit of William Zehner
against the Vandalia railroad which
had occupied the time of the circuit
court for five days was concluded Fri.
day afternoon and the case given to
the jury. The jury reached an agree
ment during the night and
returned verdict of 81, 900 damages
for the plaintiff.
This case was brought ten years
ago, and this was the third trial. At
the first trial the plaintiff won ver-
dict of of $500. and on the second
was given judgment for s3,s75, but
the company got the case sent back
for new trial both times on appeal
to the higher courts. Mr.. Zehner's
suit is based on the ground that he
has legal right to the water of the
head lake of the Twin Lakes in West
township He formerly used this
water to furnish motive power for his
grist mill at Sligo. When the road
was built its track passed between
these two small lakes, and Mr.. Zehner
claimed that the water was diverted
from the old channel.
Attorney Kelllson assisted by c. P.
Drummond conducted the case for
Mr.. Zehner. Williams, Oglesbee.
Martindale and Stevens were attor-
neyS for the railroad.

Life is Cheap.

According to the courts human lire
is decidedly cheap in st. Joseph coun-
ty. Not long ago man who deliber-
ately shot another without any just
provocation got thirty days in Jail.
The result of the trial of Henry
Swearingen in Goshen for the killing
of Michael Schricker in this city few
months ago. is but further evidence
that murder is not considered very
much of crime in this locality.
There was nothing that called for the
desperate assault of Swearingen upon
Sohricker with a big knife except
that Swearingen was frenzied with IL
quor and intended to kill another, the
saloonkeeper Haas, who had ordered
him out of the saloon. That Schricker,
purely innocent person who was
merely calling at. the place to bid his
old friend Haas goodbye before leav-
ing the city, should receive the fatal
blow does not seem to be an extenuat-
ing circumstance of sufficient proper
tions to make the crime less than MUIR
der in the second degree and the
sending of the murderer to prison for
life. The Goshen court appears to
have looked at the matter in differ
ent light and made the verdict man.
