MAKING FORTUNES.
The Money of the Market Not For
the Man With Theory.

Fortunes have been made in the Chi

entered the market with a preconceived
theory as to its course, which they at
tempted to make good through thick
and thin, but rather by those who took
things as they came, watching the

day, like prudent merchants. according

The young man reviewed his convinc-

the end of his margins, he was horri-

him, recalled their conversation and

knew Papa's Limitations.

She was Doctors little girl. In her
fathers Office she had seen a number
Of boxes on which was written, '"This
side up with care" In answer to her
question her mother had said, "You
see, when papa gets these boxes he
doesn't Know what is in them, and if
1t is something that might break it
wouldn't be good for it to set it upside
down."
The little girl pondered over it for
some time. A few days later she came
to her mother, saying, Mamma, when
God made us did he put a sign on our
left sides that says, This side up with
carer" "Why?" asked the mother,
smiling. Because l heard papa tell
somebody that it was bad for people to
lie on their left sides cause it wouldn't
be good for their hearts, and I know
papa doesn't know what is inside u.s.

The Face of an Engine,

A writer in the London Saturday Re
view comments upon the fact that a
railway engine has face and that the
face has an expression. Look at an
engine" says the writer, land you can
see that one looks noble-simply noble
in its strength; another, gigantic in
force, but not noble an expression Of
mere brute strength. Some engines
have lofty, almost supercilious, ex-
preston; others almost foolish. Some
have an air of SNUG stoutness. Then
there are engines that distinctly look
angry and others comparatively gentle
What is the key to this physiognomy
Where is the seat of expression? On

HOLDING A CIGAR.
Points In a Mans Character the Act
Is Said to Disclose.

Is Said to Disclose.
Did you ever notice the different
ways men hold cigars or cigarettes
Did you ever observe how you yourself
hold one?
There are about dozen different
ways, and probably no two men hold
their cigars exactly alike.
A judge of human nature may picD
up Interesting points as to characte,
from watching smokers.
One man will hold his cigar firmly
between thumb and forefnger. He il
usually a resolute, tenacious man
strenuous or merely phlegmatic, as the
case may be, but never lazy. His fin
gers are stumpy
Another nan holds the cigar loosely
between his first and second fingers
He is apt to be graceful, lazy, irreso
lutte, man Of artistic temperament
but not hustler. His fingers are long
and tapering.
A third man will carry his cigar with
the lighted end turned in toward the
palm, the hand held scoop shape around
It. He picked up that trick when
smoking on the sly as boy, fearing
papa might break suddenly into the
game. He is usually of secretive ma
ture and not marked by any special
tendency to frankness.
A fourth will hold his cigar awk
wardly, nervously gripping it and otter
staring at It inquisitvely to see how il

KNOWING FIRE HORSES.
How They Learn to Start With the
Jigger and Get the Swing.


Jigger and Get the Swing.
The intelligence of fire horses is well
known. A most knowing animal Of
this kind is described by Sewell Ford
In Horses Nine" The author says of
him:
Other things besides mischief, how
ever, had Silver learned Chief of these
was to start with the iigger. Sleeping
or waking, lying Or standing, the sum-
mons that stirred the men from snor-
ing ease to tense, rapid action never
failed to find Silver alert AS the hal
ter shank slipped through the bit ring
that same instant found Silver gath
cred for the rush through the long,
narrow lane leading from his open stall
couchant spiders, waited the harnesses
pendent on the hanger rods.
Once under the harness Silver was
like carved statue until the trip strap
had been pulled. the collar fastened
and the reins snapped in Then he
wanted to poke the poles through the
doors, SO eager was he to be off. It
was no fault of Silver's that his team
could not make two second hitch
With the first strain at the traces his
impatience 6ied out. A sixty foot truck
starts with more or less reluctance, but
when once the tires caught the car
tracks Silver knew what to expect. He
and his team mates could feel Lanni-
gan gathering In the reins as though
for full stop. Next came the whistle
Of the whip. 1t swept across their
tanks SO quickly that it was practical
~ one stroke for them all. At the same
moment Lannigan leaned far forward
and shot out his driving arm. The
reins went loose, their heads went for
ward and, as il moving on pivot, the
three leaped as one horse.
Left to themselves, each horse would
have leaped at a different instant It
was that one touch Of the lash and the
succeeding swing Of Lannigan's bulk
which gave them the measure, which
set the time, which made it possible for
less than 1000 pounds of horsefesh to
jump five ton truck up the street at
four minute clip.

Digging For KaurI Gum.

The ordinary method of searching
for kauri gum in New Zealand is by

iron called ssgum spear" and then dig

Industrious digger can earn as much as

even children can earn few shill1ngs

many who are old and infirm resort to
them, and so the average earnings are
reduced to FL los. or f2 week. The

STRIKE AT
FALL RIVER NEARS END
Manufacturers Will Not Compromise Says
Mr. H. F. Harris

Mr.. Henry F. Harris, the owner of
a large cotton knitting mill near Wor-
cester, Mass, arrived in Savannah yes
terday. Mr.. Harris is accompanied
by the superintendent of his mill, Mr..
George A. Aver. They will remain
here for several days before returning
to Massachusetts.
Their object in visiting the South
is to learn something of the cotton
section and especially how sea island
cotton is handled Mr.. Harris mill is
in the midst Of the section that is at
present affected by the strike in the
cotton. mills at Fall River. and when
asked for his opinion as to the prob
able result of the strike, he said it is
a question of the survival of the fit
test"
There will not be any compromise
made by the manufacturers" he said,
"as the state of affairs has reached
the point where it has to be decided
whether the worlSlnen or manufacture
ers will run the plants" Mr.. Harris
said the weavers have a special griev-
ance to make, that would probably be
considered, If it were not for other de-
mands made by the unions. The weav-
ers are endeavoring to have something
definite understood in reference to the
number of looms they will be required
to run. This could easily be adjusted,
If 1t were not for the other claims.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-12-20

The strike has not entered upon it's
twenty-second week. and there is no
more prospect of a settlement with
the mills than there was the day it
was inaugurated, he said The mill
owners realize it is a fight to the death
and are firm in their determination
not to give in. Mr. Harris states that
several of the mills are running with
short help, and others have almost
as many hands as are needed. In his
opinion. the Federal Union will be able
to furnish funds to the strikers for
continuance of the strike for several
weeks longer, but after that time he
cannot see how the strikers can hold
out.
The issue is too grave for any weak
ening on the part of the manufacture
ers, he says, for it would mean the
humiliation of their business in the
future. Mr.. Harris is not as violent
ly opposed to unions as would be ex-
pected, but he says that some unions
are ruinous to business, and unless
properly conducted the harm they can
do to business in general cannot be
estimated. He spoke highly of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
and said that an organization of its
kind is mutually helpful. This organi-
cation requires a man to be of a high
standard of intelligence, and must alb
stain from the use of liquor, and is.
therefore, beneficial to the RAILWAYS
Mr.. Harris does not believe the ma
Jority of the cotton strikers are in
sympathy with the strike, but that
they were compelled to act when call
ed upon.
