MONEY IN "Ooo JOBS"
PenniIess Bankrupt Who Is Becoming
Capitalist Through Them.


Chicago possesses a citizen who has
established a unique line of business
that promises to land him among CAPT
talists, besides making him the best
known man and the man most in demand
in the section in which he lives.
Two years ago this man failed. He
was in small business where he was
thrown into competition with concerns
with much money behind them and he
went to the wall, losing everything he
had, including his home and a fiat build
ing which he had erected. Practically
pennilcss and without any skilled trade,
with nothing open to him except some
clerkship, he set about hunting a new
line of work-something that would sup
port himself and his family.
Winter was coming on. He began
doing "odd jobs" around houses Of the
suburbanites until he could find some
thing better. Then he was struck with
the possibility of making ''odd jobs"
paying line of business. He went down
town, interviewed the manufacturers of
furnaces, and received instructions in
the management of hot air. hot water
and steam heaters.
especially of the type commonly used in
private residences in the neighborhood
in which he lived. Then he canvassed
the vicinity for blocks Offering to take
care of the furnaces, to save the house
owners coal, to keep the fire even, and
the houses warm, to empty the ashes,
and to clean all the snow from the
walks. He offered to do this for So
month per house. and the suburbanites
leaped at his proposal.
As soon as he got control Of a fur
mace. he studied its peculiarities, the
drafts in the houses, figured the kind of
coal he would use, and then began, Civ
ing the satisfaction he guaranteed. He
started out at a. m, made the rounds
of the houses, and reached his home
again by 9 in the morning. He fired up
again about noon, and again late in the
evening, shoveling snow in the intervals.
He found that, besides tending to the
furnaces. the householders often wanted
storm windows put on, or screens re-
moved, or some such work, and each lit
tie lob like that added materially to his
income.
Before Christmas he had go places on
his list. which meant $500 a month to
bin-and which forced him to employ
an assistant. In the meanwhile, he es-
tablisbed a little milk route, selling milk
ia the people for whom he worked, add
inc n little more to his income. Now
he has an income of nearly $500 a
month and pays two assistants fair
wages.
In the spring he will establish coal
business and make bids to supply his
customers with their coal for next win

BUILD AND FURNISH HOMES.
This Firm Constructs Residences aud

This Firm Constructs Residences and
Completely Equip Them.
Ashort time ago, a New York firm
undertook an unusual contract, says
the Worlds Work. 1t agreed to de-
sign and build a house; to make and
arrange the furniture; to decorate the
house and to supply it with napery and
bed linen, glassware, china and kitch-
en- utensils. They carried out the con-
tract. They even engaged servants.
Dinner was ready to be served when
the owner first stepped into the COM
pleted house.
The members of the firm call them
selves contracting designers" They
plan, build, and furnish houses to suit
the character of and tastes of the per-
sons that are to occupy them.
The house mentioned had been start
ed by an architect and the usual sue
cession of decorators, furnishers and
other purveyors were to follow. But
the owner, who was a semi-invalid,
turned the whole contract over to this
firm. Though plans, drawings, and
samples were shown to the owner, the
whole work was completed without his
supervision, for he was absent. The
contract amounted to about $4,000
and the result was entirely satisfac-
tory Such details as harmonizing the
coloring of the china with the tone of
the dining room, and attending to the
positions and the color of the pictures,
were carefully worked out. The cost
of this undertaking exactly matched
the sum set aside for it.
The same firm moved a bank into
temporary quarters over Sunday, built
a new building, fitted it with vaults,
furniture and furnishings of every
kind, even to inkstands and penracks,
ana moved back the books, records and
other paraphernalia-aga over Sun
day-exactly thirty days later. The
total cost of this contract was $4,000.
Here is a new profession of great pos
sibilitieS.

6ALTIMoRes REBUILDING.
Half of It's Fireswept District Recon
structed

structed.
One year ago Baltimore was in dis
tress; fire had swept the business section
and 90 per cent of its costliest trade
structures were wiped out Buildings
that covered 1,343 lots were destroyed
with all their contents. To-day build
ing operations are far advanced on CPS
of the lots that were buried under noun
tains of debris.
One hundred and forty-two buildings in
the devastated district are completed and
occupied. Of the remainder the aver
age rehabilitation is about 80 per cent.
Announcements for the coming spring
include already 102 more structures,
which will cover 1913 of the original lots.
The finest structures are yet to be start
ed. The delay has been entirely due to
the time required by the architects in
preparing plans, the submission to COM
peting contra ctors, and the ordering Of
tie material.
September next is fixed upon as the
month in which great rebuilding jubilee
shall take place, and the optimistic citi-
zens believe that by that time the burned
district will be a memory only.
That 'old, slow Baltimore" as some
of its more pushing sister cities have
dubbed it, has risen to the occasion in
true American spirit, and has shown
that it's energy was but dormant, has
been magniicently demonstrated by the
events of the last twelve months. Its
splendid efforts are simply another trib-
ute to the indomitable energy, force and
intelligence of an American community.
And the victory has been won in the face
of the most tremendous difficulties.

Puunk;us az Hoo Feed.

The pumpkin as a feed for hogs 10
declared TO have large dietetic value.
Some people think the seed injurious,
but this is not borne out by the ex-
periences of the most observing. Some
breeders say they owe the immunity
of their swine from cholera to lib
eral feeding of the pumpkin. There is
no doubt that it is a good pork maker.
The Oregon Experiment Station
made test of the feeding value Of
pumpkins in which they were valued
at $50 per ton and shorts at So per
ton. These two foods were fed a
period Of nearly two months. The
pumpkins We're cooked and fed at the
rate of STA pounds to each pound of
shorts. This ration proved satisfac-
tory and the pigs gained 400 pounds
at cost of $3.50 per hundred weight.
The total consumption was 1923
pounds of pumpkins and 924 pounds
of shorts.
At the New Hampshire station, both
cooked and raw pumpkins were fed
to pigs with good results. In regard
to cooking, however, it was concluded
that this added nothing to the value
of the pumpkins, and hence was not
profitable. In connection with pump
llins, cornmeal proved to be a good
food, but where skim milk was added
to this ration still more satisfactory
returns were obtained.
At the Canada Experiment Station
raw pumpkins were fed to pigs for a
period of l0T days with satisfactory
results. The cost of the increase in
the weight of the pigs was $3.0S per
hundred weight; a total Of 1000
pounds of pumpkins and 1881 pounds
of mixed grain was consumed.

SPRAYING Fruit PAYS.

The overwhelming experience OF the
past dozen years makes it almost I'M
ney e5sary to urge, on the ground of
pecuniary returns. the adoption of
measures against insects. To en-
phasize the value Of such practice it
is only necessary to call attention to
the fact that the loss TO orchard, gar
den. and farm crops frequently
iamounts to from 10 to 70 per cent Of
the entire product, and innumerable
instances could be pointed ont where
such loss has been sustained year after
year. while now, by the adoption of
remedial measures. large yields are
regularly secured with an insignificant
expenditure for treatment. It has been
established that in the c.se Of the APP
pie crop spraying will protect from
80 TO 20 per cent Of the fruit which
would otherwise be wormy, and that
in actual marketing experience the
price has been enhanced from 81 to
s.. 80 per barrel, and this at cost of
only about 10 Genus per tree for labor
and material. This is especially true
If regions where the codling moth has

His arrest came about in a curious
way. He went to New York and rented
room of Mrs. Kimmerle in West For
ty-seventh street, giving the name of
Bartels. Two days later he asked her to
marry him. Something caused her to
think of the man whom she had read of
in the papers as a multi-husband and the
face before her now impressed her as
bearing a resemblance to the one she
had seen in the paper. She ran to the
nearest police station and told her sus-
picions. Officers were dispatched to the
house and arrest quickly followed. He
was extradited and taken to Chicago,
where it was asserted he told the police
that he has married so many women he
had lost all count of the number. He
denied ever having poisoned any of his
numerous wives

Electric PIows.

Good results were obtained from an
experiment from blowing by electric
power in northern Italy. In average
soil it is stated that blowing can be
done at the rate of about one acre per
hour. The power cars are said TO be
as easily managed as traction engines
and can be used also for operating
pumps, corn shelters, threshers, etc.
The device consists of two power cars,
which are stationed at each side Of
the field and between which are
stretched cables attached to the plow.
The electric current is taken from a
trolley line; a current of about five
hundred volts is said to be needed.
Each ear is said to communicate
twenty-five horse power, which can
safely be increased to forty horse pow
Ell. The pillow is pulled by the cables
from one side of the field to the other,
and when it reaches the end of the
furrow it stops automatically, the cur
rent being cut off. 1t can be run back
ward or forward with ease. One man
manages the pillow, and each car is
operated by one man. 'hus three men
do all the work.

DIAZ AS A MAN OF DESTINY.
Relation Between HE Life and Date
of Mexican Independence.

Relation Between HE Life and Date
of Mexican Independence.
"If ever man was a living proof
that our fates are predestined," said
mining man from Mexico, sit is
President Diaz.
HE was born at II o'clock at night
on September 10. That is the ami
versary moment of Mexican independ-
ence, although September 16 is cele-
brated as the national holiday.
The revolutionary conspirators had
agreed on September 16 for the out
break and We're to open the ball at
the ringing of a bell on the plaza of
Guanajuato. But Hidalgo, the Mexi-
can Washington, learned that their
plans were known, so he rang the bell
and started things going at II o'clock
on September 10.
THAT was in 1910. Diaz was born
September ID, 1880.
THAT is matter of common
knowledge and superstition in Mexico.
What is not generally known is that
every one of his many children, legiti-
mate and illegitimate, was born either
on September 10 or on the anniversary
of some of his big military or political
victories | have it from a member
of the DaZ household that there is not
a single exception to this rule.
Every year on September 10 the
people gather ON the plaza in the City
of Mexico. Diaz comes out on a bal
cony above them sharply at II and
rims the old Mexican independence
bell, which has been brought up to
the capital. That is the signal for be-
ginning the independence celebration.
"Diaz, you know, considers himself
man of destiny. His life has been
