Famous Americans Who Were al
School Together
Among the faded, yellow pages OF
an old book, which no amount OF
money could buy from its owner are
a number Of the schoolboy compost
lions Of three men who later became
famous senators of the United States,
Of one boy who became the greatest
money king the modern world has
known, and of a little girl who be-
came the wife of the great money
king, writes Frank T. Starlight in the
National Magazine.
The boys were Marcus Alonzo Hap-
ma, Edward o. Wolcott, James X.
Jones and John D. Rockefeller; the
girl was Celestia Spelman, now Mrs.
John d. Rockefeller A further strange
fact Is that two of these boys in later
years became the chairmen Of the
national committees Of the two great
political parties-Jones of the Demo
cratic and Hanna of the Republican
AS well as the leaders Of their re-
spective parties in the United States
Senate, while Eddie" Wolcott won
hardly less distinction as senator of
the United States from Colorado.
The owner of the little age-yellowed
book is Andrew Freese, schoolmas-
ter of Cleveland.

is also la carte service. Everything
considered, the prices are not excess

taken there for the experience. An
other should be taken at the Tyrolean
Alps, either outdoors or in the gor-
geous dining-room in the mountain
side. The best French restaurant is
at Paris, on the Pike. Lower in prices

Whv Birds Live Long.

Why do birds live so much longer
Than mammals, which are often hun
dred times their size? Possibly. among
other things, because they have beaks
instead of teeth. All carnivorous
beasts become weak and liable to star
walton, as their teeth drop out or
break. Neither are the herbivorous
animals in much better case. Old
horses would probably die Of starva-
ton II wild, for their teeth would fail
them; indeed, in some stony countries
old horses have to be killed because
their teeth are worn away by cropping
grass close to the rock. Rodents con-
stantly die from injuries to teeth. But
a birds beak neither wears out nor
drops of, apd as it constantly swal-
lows fresh grit to aid In grinding food
IN the gizzard that needs no repairing

The Worlds Fair at st. Louis is
now in the midst of its splendid sea-
son. Colossal, complete, cosmopoli-
tan, 1t commands the attention of the
world as no other enterprise Of the
present year. From all nations there
are pilgrims coming to this shrine,
and from all our states and territories
there is constantly growing throng
OF visitors. United States Senators,
Governors Of States, men eminent in
science, art and letters-all express
unqualified admiration for the EXPOSE
ion and free acquiescence in the oft
repeated statement that this is by far
the greatest and best universal expo
sition ever held.
During July a well-known magazine
and newspaper writer from New York,
Mr.. Addison Steele, spent week at
the Worlds Fair, inspecting the
grounds, buildings and various attrac-
lions as thoroughly as was possible in
that limited period. Returning home,
Mr.. Steele published in Brooklyn
Life the following appreclative COM
ments on the Exposition:

Witted Newspaper Man.

Representative Brownlow Of Ten
nessee tells that once he was running
a country paper during campaign
times and was printing lighting"
language every week. One day, Just
after the paper was out, a big man,
armed with a club, walked into the
sanctum and fiercely inquired II the
editor was in. The frightened Brown
low had wit enough to answer that he
was not but that he would go out
and hunt him up. He started for the
street and at the foot Of the stairs
met another irate fellow, who asked:
"Will find the editor Of this dirty
sheet upstalrs?" "Yes,p said Brown
low, "he's up there at his desk Just
itching for fight" The second man
went up and Brownlow disappeared.
Which whipped the other is not re-
lakeland Brownlow didn't go back
during the day to find out.

said something under his breath of
his promise to his father.

were at breakfast, there came mes

very graphic exposition of the Ober-

shady spot. The nights were cool and

HAS FAD FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Thousands Of Negatives Made For
Millionaire August Belmont.

Among rich Americans perhaps
none is so fond Of being photographed
as August Belmont, James R. Keene
being a close second. One New York
photographer, whose patrons are most
ly wealthy men, has made thousands
of negatives for Mr.. Belmont in the
last few years. One Of the largest
single orders for prints from old mega
tives ever received by this photog-
rapher came from Mr.. Belmont himself
soon after the death of his wife. 1t
included a good print from every mega
tive in which Mrs. Belmont appeared.
The photographer never guessed how
many photographs he had taken for
Belmont till then; he found that they
numbered nearly a thousand.
