mouths. The man Of mystery was be-

them there from homes thousands of
miles away; Farley, the great strike
a shadow to theml As the cold blue
eyes Of the man on the box met pairs
here and there, feet shuffed, heads
went down or turned away. Suspense
held them for nearly five minutes be-
fore Farley spoke word.
IT IN Farley" he began in the cruel,
low tone which comes to him at such
times. Now, look here, you fellows, I
think that the square thing is not going
to be done by them; that you are not
going to get jobs. I promised you when
I brought you to New York that I
would see you were provided for, and
propose to keep my promise. The strike
is broken, and [ want to thank you for
what you have done. [ also want to
tell you that the company stands ready
to give every one Of you a position, and
yourselves. If you are competent and
work faithfully you may stay here as
long as you please. I know some Of

Farley paused suddenly and looked
over his fascinated listeners again, as
if searching for some one in particular.
He seemed to mark every man there.
Suddenly he resumed, leaning forward
slightly:

When Farley takes hold Of tfsitua-

only in cases where this rule has been

WHEN THE OSTRICH HURR1Es.

Two feet is the usual stride of an, ostrich

and commences to run it exchanges its mincing
stride for fourteen-foot steps, which easily carry
miles an hour. Ordinarily an ostrich makes no
effort to profit by its length Of legs, and many
birds with legs less than quarter as long habit
ually use three and four-foot Stride for it

like ostriches, famingoes. -and cranes extend
their stride only when alarmed. The ostrich
when 1t takes both feet off the ground at
every stride; its progress being made by means
of a series Of jumps SO rapidly performed as to
leave the observer under the Impression that

Special to The Journal. 81; z
Madison, Wis, Sept. %. Professor
Julius E. Olson and Mrs. Rasmus B.
Anderson have received news Of the
death of Mrs. Ingeborg Schager, an
aunt, at Wjiota, Lafayette county, Wis.

Hans Olson, coming to America and
settling in Cambridge, Dane county,
where she still lives at the age Of 80.
~ and gradually lost trace of them. 4
In 1901 her husband died, and upon

Schager, from whom she had parted
sixty-seven years before, has been liv-
ing at Wiota, but fifty miles away, for

Secretary Shaw a Hard Worker.

Leslie NJ Shaw was dependent upon.
his own efforts for securing an ednca-
ton after he left the common schools.
He taught school in the winter and
worked in the harvest fields in the SUM
mer. Several years he. tramped all over
Iowa selling fruit trees and nursery
stock. His energy was wonderful and
he was determined to succeed in spite
Of lis poverty. After ten years of
hard work he earned enough to COM
tplete his college and professional
course and graduated from the Iowa
College Of Law. After this he spent
twenty years of untiring and ceaseless
devotion to business.
The work of the world is not being
done WE'LL said Shaw in an address to
young men. It does not improve, and
success waits for the young man who
can do it better than others. Do not
work for the sake of compensation
Work for the sake of achievement. The
man who works for compensation wears
himself out in eight hours, but The man
who works for the sake Of his en-
ployment can work more than twelve
hours 8 day without experiencing fa-
tigue. You are going into the busy
world and there is good pay in store
for good services. Competition is more
intense now than it ever was before.
You must continue tos improve TO get
along and the best worker commands
the highest comp ms atom FOR his Ia
bors. 4

CALLS ON MCCALL
TO RESIGN POST
$4,000 Policyholder Declares the
President Of New York Life
Has Proven Incompetent.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Sept. 23.-C1arence a..
VenAer, banker and broker, Of No. 33
Wall street, has sent an open letter to
John A. Mccall, president Of the New
York Life Insurance company, regard
ing recent revelations in insurance.
Venner, writing as $4,000 policy
holder, said Of the political contribu-
tions:
T From the testimony referred to it
would appear that you claim the right
to use the funds Of the New York Life
Insurance company with as much free
dom and as little accountability as if
they belonged to your own private
purse. By the same reasoning, any
trustee, under will or deed of trust,
can lawfully disburse, for political
purposes, the trust funds belonging to
widows and orphans, to defeat the cleo
whose election he thinks would have a
tendency to, decrease the value Of the
securities in which he had invested
trust funds. This is neither law. nor
morals, nor business.
Charges Waste Of Funds.
"Upon that testimony charge that
the funds Of the New York Life In
suranee company have been misappro-
PA1oCCo duu "dSGCu. w ueGu6r a
manner in which in some instances may
justify an Indictment is a question for
determination by the proper authori-
ties.
But it was all done with your
knowledge, connivance and approval.
And charge that the accounts of the
company have been falsifed to cover
up these Interpretations and that
wrongful entries have been made upon
the books of the company representing
sham transactions undertaken, for the
purpose Of deceiving not only the in
surance, department of the state of
New York, but the policy-holders as
well, as to the true condition of the

The Hamilton Mystery.
OF Mr.. McCall's testimony regarding
the $235,000 paid to Andrew Hamii-
ton, Mr.. Venner wrote:
| The public and the policy-holders
of the New York Life are not credu-
lous enough to believe that kind of a
tale. But whether or not your testi-
mony be true, you have convicted your
self Of such gross incompetency, AFRO.
gance and recklessness in the manage
ment Of the funds Of the New York
Life, and of such unbusinessIike meth
| DDS, that you no longer command the
confidence OF. the policy-holders, and
should not have control Of corpora
tion possessing over 100000, 900 Of as
sets.
- It is clear to my mind that the tes-
timony establishes that your period of
usefulness as president of the New.
York Life has come to an unfortunate
close. Your resignation, both as pres
4 ldent and trustee, is now the best and
only thing left in your power to do for
the good of the company and of its
policy holders. That resignation, as a

The most careful research fails to

by everlastingly keeping at it you
are bound to succeed is the univer-

pretty soon, you had better shorten

that led to the Invention Of the cleo
