Even as aid and experienced q
newspaper as the Lancaster Re.
view still has one class of sub
scriOers that 1T is n puzzle to know
what to do with. Here is what
1T says about them:
''One of the strange things
about the newspaper business is
that now and then a subscriber
when asked to pay his indebted
ness will get mad, pay up and
order his paper stopped. And
yet the same man will receive u
dun from anyone else his mer,
chant for example-without loss
ing his temper and rs matter of
course"
That is easy, Brother Cunnors.
For all such every newspaper Of
flee needs to keep "iackass
llst," and whenever a man gets
mad bscanse he Is asked to pay or
because his paper is discontinued
for non payment, his name should
he carefully preserved thereon.
For some time this Ctfice has kept
snch a list, and it works nicely.

, to use as Hyomei. Simply put twenty
drops of Hyomei in the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and then
breathe it for few minutes four

takes into the air passages of the
head, throat and lungs air that is
filled with balsamic mailing and anti

remote parts of the air passages, de-
stroys all catarrhal germs, and en-
riches and purifies the blood with ad-

The first days use of Hyome will
, show decided improvement, and in u

are quickly gained, and the benefit is

THE MEMOIRS OF WILLARD.

Memoirs of Henry Willard, Once Lead

try, Interesting to Old Timers in the
West.
Minneapolis Journal: Only little
more than twenty years ago the North
ern Pacific railroad was completed as
transcontinental line. The central
figure in the railroad world at that
time was Henry Willard. It was
through his efforts that the road was
brought to completion and he was the
host at truly international last
spike celebration. The whole diplo-
matte corps at Washington was in
vited, besides scores of Englishmen,
Germans and others. and four special
trainloads Of distinguished guests &C.
copied and Travelled far out into the
wilds of Montana to see the ceremony.
There, surrounded by some 1000 In
dams, Mr.. Willard and his company
saw the last rail laid and the first
spike that had ever been driven to
hold down a Northern Pacific rail
driven once more as the last spike
necessary again to belt the continent
with railroad steel. Mr.. Willard him.

the spike was not a golden one. The

II following came Mr.. Wizards down.
fall, marked by his resignation from
the leadership Of the great companies
he had founded. He speaks of this as
follows: II, a. -.
"His fate was certainly tragic
Within few years he had risen from
entire obscurity to the enviable posi-
ton Of one of the leaders of the mater
ial progress of our age. But few
months before he had reached the
pinnacle Of contemporaneous fame,
and received on his continental jour-
ney such homage as few men have
ever received in this country. But his
fall from might to helplessness, from
wealth to poverty, from publici ad-
miration to wide condemnation, was
far more rapid than his rise, and his
brief career was everywhere used to
point moral"
Yet it was not four years che was
hailed as the railroad king restored to
his reign" and millions were placed
at his disposal by capitalists of Eu-
rope, who seem never to have lost
faith in him. Things began to look
promising for the Northern Pacific.
But a new star was rising-that Of
James ]. Hill. His line, the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba, was reaching
out slowly but surely toward the coast
The Northern Pacific interests felt
that there was danger in rival trans
continental. Mr.. Willard saw that there
was only one way to cope with such
a rival and that was to get control of
it. (Perhaps Mr.. Hill learned a
merger lesson there.) He matured
plans to raise $20,0O0,OO0 to effect the
necessary purchase of St. Paul, Mime.
apolis and Manitoba stock. Accord
ing to Mr.. Willard, General Samuel
Thomas and Frederick P. Olcott zap
peared late one evening at Mr.. vii
lard's residence in the Tiffany House,
New York, to announce that they had
dined with James j. Hill and that he
had positively agreed to sell ma
jority of shares at 100 and that they
were all to meet at Mr.. Wizards office
the next morning to sign the papers.
Mr.. Willard told his visitors that he
was very glad to hear the news, but
he still doubted, in view of past vacil-
lations Of Mr.. Hill, whether the bar
gain would go through. The callers
protested against this, and insisted
that Mr.. HILL could not back out of
his promise, and that he had positive

! morning, but Mr.. Willard was the only
one who kept it. After waiting an
hour in vain, he called up Mr.. Olcott
| by telephone and learned that Mr.. He'll
had slipped away again."
| But the reader who looks for much
| in the way of railroad revelations in
the work will he disappointed.
Significant as an index of the
| character of Mr.. Willard is the faith
of others in his personal integrity.
There never seemed to be time when
he could not raise millions merely by
asking for it. Once he wired his
clients in Germany (this was after
his downfall in 1889 that $4,000, 900
would be necessary for certain
transaction. Within thirty-six hours
the money was at his disposal in New
York.
