aiiowed to interfere with it. In this way
the children were educated, not in the
higher branches, but in reading, writing,
arithmetic, geography and other studies
which contribute to common school ed
ucation.
To-day Al'ram Jones, the college grad
uate and sc,,"'l teacher, successfully
manages 2U0 acre farm owned by his
father, and located near Port Penn, a
haff-hour's drive from the Clayton farm.
In addition to the farm which his eldest
son tenants, Samuel Jones owns a farm
in Cedar Lane, and valuable 3O-acre
tract of woodland near Blackbird, this
county ); also 20 head of fine horses, %
head of cattle, and improved farm ma
cilinery of every kind. He is also
stockholder in the Citizens National
Bank of Middletown, and one of its larg-
est depositors.
'Those OF the children who still remain
at home and work on the farm are paid
regular farm wages, and it is understood
that each year they must deposit not less
than 500 in bank. One of the boys has
now $500 to hfs credit in bank, all of
which hns been saved in this way. An
instance of the spirit of frugality which
appears to have been born in each mem
Der of his family is told by a neighbor
who has known them for many years. A
few years before COL Clayton's death he
hired one of the girls in the family of his
tenant to work in his household, the
understanding being that she was to re-
ceive 81 week and her board and
clothes. She took up her duties in the
Clayton home one Christmas morning.
One year later to the day, her father
called on Col. Clayton and collected $52,
the amount OF her wages for the year and
deposited it in bank to her credit. Is it
any wonder that this family has sue
ceeded in laying aside competence for
old age when they were taught such
lessons in economy as this?
personally, Samuel Jones Is very
much liked by his friends and neighbors,
and if he has an enemy in the world no
one has ever heard oft. He is naturally
reserved in manner, and prefers to listen
rather than enter into a conversation.
He has a cheerful eyes, sir" and "No,
sir" and "You don't tell me, sir" that
is always remembered by those who have
talked with him. Politics never at
tracted him, and yet, had he chosen, he
could have become a strong factor among
the colored people.
"There are many honest and hard
working colored people in Delaware,
though as a class they are far from what
they ought to be. Political corruption,
which has disgraced the good name of
the State in later years, is largely re-
sponsible for this condition and to the
fact that it is not improving. In view of
tf1is fact, tire career eff Samuel Jones is
all the more interesting. Born with
nothing but an honest ambition and
strong determination, he has won the
respect of everyone, and has accumulated
considerable property, and still has good
health and to all appearances many years
yet to live. ."-Erery Erening

We Will Save
You Money

DEAR SIR Whereas in the
past it has been the custom tc
sell goods on long time and long
profits. Also you must know that
the people who pay cash for their
goods are always paying an ex'
ira profit because in the method
of so much credit, there is al.
ways a certain amount of bills
lost, and in order to make up
what is lost ON John Doe an extra
profit must be levied in order to
meet the loss. Therefore we have
adopted the following plan to
sell goods as cheap as We can,
and get the Cash. By cutting off
the extra work and reducing our
expenses We can show you saw
ing of 10 per cent-10 cents on
every dollar that goes into your
house in a year, will, if put aside

There are many important matters
which will probably come before the
convention besides the exploiting Of
Oregon's resources. Many Of the dele
gates are desirous of taking action on
government irrigation of the arid lands,
the construction of the portage road, the
removal OF Instructions to the naviga-
tion Of the Columbia, and other great
public improvements. Doubtless these
will come up for discussion before the
convention concludes its labors. Some
difference of opinion may exist as to the
precise scope of the new organization,
but that it is destined to exert power
full influence upon Oregon's future
seems indubitable.
Among the men who are attending
the convention today are many whose

we are able to dispose of our wheat il

it to Portland. This condition OF affairs
is due to the fact that we have to pay

If the plans OF a number of enthusi-
astic owners of yachts, launches and
row boats are carried out. Utah win DE
able to boast of a first class yacht club
and this sport will take its place along
with other popular branches of pastimv.
A meeting was held at Geneva tins

present who decided to organize yacht
club. John Dallin of Springville was
elected commodore DR.. G. l.. Smart OF

American Fork first mate, Julian Jen-

ing on Utah lake. This body of water,
it is claimed, is one of the best that
can be found anywhere for yachting
purposes. and with a splendid harbor
and hotel accommodations at the lake

new club should not prosper.
The new club now has five sail boats,
one gasoline launch and eight row
boats, owned by its members, and IL
expects by interesting those who like
this kind of sportlto make the club one
of the largest of any on an inland lake.

Fitz put him hors de combat with a
punch in the solar plexus, and after
that Corbett went to the bad. Jeffries
easily took HIS measure when they met
at Coney Island, and repeated the dose
when they fought again at San Fran
cisco last year. Corbett lost to Sharkey
and YOU know how he Jared with sew
eral others. OF course he whipped Kid
Mccoy, but that scrap was denounced
as being cut and dried fake and I
guess from facts at hand it was a
phony victory at best John L. Sui
Ivan never fought again after COrbett
put him away at New Orleans. I guess
if he had he wouldn't have amounted
to anything. for the drubbing Jim gave
him took all the starch out Of him.
Jack Dempsey never got over the
beating he received at the hands of
Bob F-tzsimmons. and died from
broken heart. and yet there was no
gamer fighter in the ring than the Nom
pareil. Peter Jackson soon fell by the
wayside after jim Jeffries knocked him
out. and died about six months later
The two defeats which Jegries gave
FitzsimmOns have evidently not injured
the COrnishman to any extent Al
though Knocked out twice. Fitz is still
up and doing. and no che since has
been able to repeat the dose. The rea-
son that Fitz has not lost heart is that
be was whipped by a man his superior
in weight, build and strength. Had
Fitz been conquered by a man IN his
class it's cinch that he would have
been pie for some of the boys who can
fight at anywhere near his weight.
George Dixon has really never tasted
the sensation of knockout in a cham
pionship contest. He was once laid
low by the Kentucky Rosebud at Phila-
delphia many years ago, but on that
occasion he received what is known I'm
fistiC parlance as the double cross
But he could beat all the Rosebuds I'm
creation, and demonstrated this fact
satisfactorily a number of times after
ward. True, Terry McGovefn decisive
~ took his measure, but did not knock
him out, as Dixon's seconds threw up
the sponge in time. But that fight
made Dixon fear his opponents, and
from the rushing, brave fighter he be-
came a timid boxer. The reason that
he has been able to win since then is
that his cleverness has not deserted
him. But he has lost the power TO
knock out others"

HARVARD 12, CARLISLE 0.
Long End Punts Win the Day For the
Crimson.

Cambridge. Mass. Oct. 22.-Two brill
liant end runs by Captain Hurley, and
another by Nichols. backed by stur-
dy defense at nearly all times, enabled
Harvard to defeat the Carlisle Indians
in the Stadium today by a score OF
Il TO o.
Both elevens fought d fierce contest
In the first half, neither getting with
in striking distance of the opposite
goal
In the second Harvard raced up her
eleven. Nichols circled the Indians
right end for thirty-four yards, and
Hurley went around the other side for
twenty yards more and won the first
score.
After an exchange of kicks and a lit
tie rushing Harvard got the bali on
Carlisle's forty-yard line on a tumble.
Diagonal tandem rushes drove the ball
to the twenty-yard line, from which
point Hurley carried 1t within four
yards of tie Indians goal. 1t took
three rUshes to make the short dis
lance and the second score. Hurley
having the honor. Herman kicked both
goals.
A diseouraging feature of the game
from the Harvard standpoint was the
inability OF her runners to hold fast
TIE ball. the Indians getting the ball
seven times on fumbles, notwithsand-
ing the beautiful dry weather.
Harvard was also weak in the kick
ing department, making only $50 yards
in seven kicks. The Indians were only
a trifie better. In the first half the
Indians suffered four penalties for off,
side play
