PROV pointed to the north.
There is something pathetic behind
all this. Yet pathos and romance have
governed the whole career of this lit
tie boy, who was not the child of the
man whom he knew as his father, ex-
cept by adoption, The baby was born
William Brandt, his father being a
half-brother of Mr.. Ziegler. At an
early age it became necessary for rel
atives to assume the support of one
or more of the children, and Mr.. Zieg-
Ter took the little boy. He and his wife
were childless, and the little chap at
once filed the vacant crevices in their
hearts as fully as their own could have
done. He returned the affection and
between him and his foster father grew
a love that was noticeable to the mer-
est stranger
Shared Fathers Condolences.
They were inseparable, the million
aire and the schoolboy, and when, a
few years ago, William ziegler began
to crave the distinction of being the
founder of an expedition that should
find the north pole, the lad was one OF
the few who shared his condolences
who listened to his ambitions and SYM
pathized with him in his desires.
To reporter, who saw him at the
Ziegler home at Noroton Point one day
recently, the boy was as communica-
tive as could be expected of one weak
ened by more than two months of suf-

Ter. and even now regards the search

for the pole as his life work.
Thought Father His Uncle.
His father, George Brandt, whom he
has been taught all his life to believe
was his uncle, resides in Chicago.
Brandt is half-brother to the elder
Ziegler. When the boy was a baby
his father gave him up to the million
aire, then childless. The baby was le-
gally adopted, was called William Zieg-
Ter and did not know until the death of
his foster father that he was other
than William Ziegler's son.
The greatest care was taken with his
preliminary education, designed to fit
him for Columbia university. He will
be given careful business as well as
a scientific education, so that he may
not only prosecute the biographical re-
searches instituted by the elder VIII
liam Ziegler, but may also be fitted to
look after the vast business interests
lntrusted to him.

Earthquakes occasionally profit man

HOLMES BUYS REAL ESTATE
Demand For Good Inside Property
Especially State Street,
Increases.

G. 5 Holmes has evidently reached the
conclusion that it will not do to permit
outside buyers to skim all the cream
in the local real estate situation. For
some time past he has been bargaining
for the purchase of several fine pieces
Of business property. He has secured
options on ground aggregating a front
age of 1874 feet on State street and is
still reaching out for more.
He has an offer Of $4,000 out for an
other piece in the same vicinity. He
will give out no information as to the
exact location or the present owners of
the land until the deals are completely
closed Whether he Is buying with
view to ma king permanent improvements
or merely for speculation is matter

Rev. Samuel E. Wishard Speaks at
the Union Services.
BEGIN WITH KNOWN TRUTHS
REV p. A. SIMPKIN WILL AD-
DRESS MEETING TONIGHT.

Rev Samuel e. Wishard was the
speaker at the union services in the
First Methodist church last night. choos-
ing as his theme The Way to God, -
and his text from the fourteenth chap
ter of John. The verses particularly en-
phasized were the sixth and seventh, as
follows:
Thomas saith unto him, Lord. we
know not whittier thou gOest; and how
him. 1 am the way and the truth and
the life: no man cometh unto the father
but by mo
ChTist's mission on earth was 10 show
men the way TO God, said the speaker
TO open their spiritual eyes. The great
majority Of men were ignorant Of
the way TO God. He analysed the various
causes OF this ignorance.
Cowardice. indifference, wilfulness and
Incidence We're all contributory, he said.
Men didn't want to know the way, or
they were Willful seeking way Of
their own instead Of Christs way Or
they were simply afraid. Being sin
neTs, they were moral towards.
When the speaker came to the second
point in his address The Way-what
was indeed dark But all who had not
found the way should begin at once, he
when should we find the way to
God2' he said. Here and now Begin
with known truths. Don't go about say
ing: IT / only knew which church was
right, I'd Join it. Don't begin piling up
theological truths at the TOP and work
ing downward. Remember it's the blood
of Jesus Christ that cleanses and only
through the blood will you find the way
whatever church you may Join. The
known truths with which to begin are:
First, the admission that you are sin
ner, and second. the knowledge that
Jesus is the savior
Those seeking the way should start
with these known truths. he said. and
not be worrying about Gods plans.
