GOT LICENSE BEFORE PROPOSAL.
Des Moines Mans Unlucky Experience
With Young Widow.

Charles K Fillmore, a Des Moines young
man, secured license the other day to
marry Mrs. Viola Glidden, a pretty Ames
widow, and then wavered between choice
and necessity for asking the lady in ques-
ton whether she would wed him.
In the meantime an unfeeling newspaper
published the issuance of the license, ans
other took up the story and stated that the
marriage had been duly solemnixed, and
then the pretty widow began to be shower
ed with congratulations. She at first waa
surprised at the joke, and then indignant
when she learned that Fillmore had sectirs
cd a marriage license without asking her
consent
Furthermore, she says the gentleman in
question is a mere acquaintance and she
hasn't the slightest intention of marrying
him, and doesn't know why he should want
to marry her. u
Fillmore, however, is a very determined
young man, and, besides, already has 81
invested in the document. which is good for
no one but Mrs. Glidden. And go he has
been trying to get his courage up and in-
sists that he will ask Mrs. Glidden, and
furthermore he Is quite sure that she will
be unable to resist his pieidings The weds
ding is still in the far distance. but the
license is good for a whole year.

FAITH IN ONESELF.
Lack Of Self-Confdence Destroys !.
Mans Efficiency.

orison SWEET Marden, in Success.
A Harvard graduate who has been out of
college number of years writes Success
that because of his lack of self-confidence
he has never earned more than $12 week
A graduate of Princeton tells us that, ex-
cept for a brief period, he has never been
able to earn more than a dollar a day
These men do not dare to assume respon-
sibility. Their timidity and want of faith
in themselves destroy their efficiency The
great trouble with many of us is that we
do not believe enough In ourselves. We do
not realize our power. Man was made to
hold up his head and carry himself like a
conqueror. not like slave-as a success
and not a failure-to assert his Cod
given birthright. Self-depreciation is a
crime.
Be sure that your success will never rise
higher than your confidence in yourself.
FIJI your mind with cheerful optimistic
pictures-pictures of achievement. This
Will scatter the spectres of doubt and fear
and send power through you which will
transform you into an achiever. No mat
ter how poor or how hemmed in you may
be, stoutly deny the power Of adversely or
poverty to keep you down. Constantly
assert your superiority to your environ
ment. Believe in yourself; feel that you
are 10 dominate your surroundings.
Self-confidence marshals all ones facul-
ties and twists their united strength into
one mighty achievement cable. 1t carries
conviction. 1t makes other people believe
In US. What has not been accomplished
through its miraculous power
An unwavering belief in oneself destroys
the greatest enemies of achievement-fear
doubt and vacillation. 1t removes the
thousand and one obstacles which impede
the progress of a weak man or woman
Faith In ones mission-in the conviction
that the Creator has given US power to
realize our life call, as it is written in our
blood and stamped on our brain cells-is
the secret of all power.
A singie-talent man, supported by great
self-confidence, will achieve more than a
ten-talent man who does not believe in
himself. The mind cannot act with vigor
In the presence of doubt. A wavering
mind makes wavering execution There
must be certainty. confidence and assur-
ance, or there can be no efficiency
Webster's father was much chagrined
and panied when Daniel refused a fifteen
hundred-dollar clerkship in the court Of

Ferrets War on Prairie Dogs.
peka Cor. New York World.

Topeka Cor. New York World.
Residents OF western counties of Kansas
say that an animal known as the black
footed ferret is putting an end to the
prairie dog pest. Instances are cited by
D. e. Lantz field agent of the State Agri-
cultural College, in a recent report on
Kansas mammals. The ferret made its
appearance In Kansas only about two
years ago, but Mr.. Lantz has found in
stances where Ave or six of them drove all
the prairie dogs out of county. Mr.
Lantz says Of the ferret:
1T is much larger than an ordinary
weasel. has a very long body and is of
q soiled. yellowish-b color with a
black patch on the forehead, including the
eyes and extending downward to the tin
OF the nose. 1t is closely furred, and its
feet are covered with hair above and below.
The feet and legs are black, as is also
about two inches OF the tip of the tail. The
ferret is found in the western third of
Kansas and as far out as the Rocky noun
,ains. Its food consists of rabbits and
prairie dogs. 1t has como to be known In
the western part of the state as the prairie
dog ferret"

In a Nutshell.
To summarize, it can be said that. from
the official records of the Thfrty-third and
Thirty-fourth Congresses. of which Mr..
Sage was member:
He was ever looking after the interests OF
his constituents.
He was ever looking after the interests of
the country at large.
He was an ardent advocate Of what he
believed to be right and proper.
He was strict parlamentarian.
He was a politician and ever aligned with
the interests of his party.
In debate he was forceful in his argu-
ments and convincing in so far as his per-
sonal beliefs were concerned.
He did not hesitate to express himself
freely on such questions as he was op-
posed to.
His remarks were. as a rule, brief and to
the point.
He was an obstructionist when he saw the
trend of legislation to which he was OPP
posed.
He was a strong debater and generally
made himself understood in few words.
AS rule, he was willing to await devel-
opments before interfering any remarks on
tho pending question.
His general position was one OF Quesudo
and of few words.
While heard in debate on matters OF IL
terest to him, his greatest work for the
country was In the committees to which ne
was assigned.
The general record of Russell Sage in
Congress was good and he fulfilled to the
letter the desires and wishes of his con-s
stitusnts.

Leather Railroad Ties.

eminent railroads. All sorts Of material
have been used for that purpose. but chiefly
tarred wood and iron. No tie has given

the iron changes under the influence Of

this matter the subject of an official rel

with the far-spreading development OF
great Industrial plants in the last two dec
AIDES q new profession has come into ex-
istence-chemical engineering-for which
the Massach usetts Institute of Technology
In Boston has apparently been the first
technical school either in this country or
abroad to make adequate provision said
prominent local scientist of the Smith
sonian Institution yesterday.
1.-THE chemical engineer is part mechani-
cal engineer, part physicist, part chemist
In this combined capacity he is responsible
for about all our modern advance in indus
trial processes, from the making of rubber
boots to the production of crystalized
sugar, from oil refining to the manufacture
Of armor plate. Whenever you see great
plant for the manufacture of any particu-
lar chemical compound or utilization of any
important chemical process You may be
sure that chemical engineer laid down
the plans and solved many Of the prelimi-
nary problems necessary to meet on a
large scale the demands OF successful! COM
mercial operation.
THE necessity of this combination of
chemist and mechanical engineer for the
development of any large industrial en-
terprise which depends for results upon the
action Of chemicals becomes evident when
one realizes that a powerful chemical agent
acts upon other materials with which II
comes In contact as we'll upon the par
ticular substances with which it originally
enters into combination. The mechanical
engineer knows nothing of chemical reac-
tons. While he can tell to a nicely the
amount of wear and tear to which an ordi-
nary boiler or pipe will be subjected when
used to boil or conduct water, he faces al
together different problem il his boiler
is to be used for corrosive acid. Here the
chemical knowledge Of the chemical engt-
neer comes into play. He is not only able
to foretell the action of that acid on the
material upon which the acid will have the
least hurtful effect, and thus save time and
money as we'll as increase efficiency. More
over his knowledge of physics solves count
less problems in which tho physical proper
ties play an important part In producing
the manufactured product.
1.-THE modern development of sugar REIN
ing is a good concrete illustration of the
use Of chemical engineering in long line
of industries Not SO long ago the pro-
cesses Of sugar refining were carried on
entirely by hand, although the chemical
reactions on which they depended were
practically Identical with those now util-
lied. In the modern refinery the crude
sugar Is unloaded direct from the vessels

Howbert Billman, managing editor Of
the Minneapolis Times, died this morn
ing at his home, ia W Grant street,
from a complication Of valvular heart
disease and acute Bright's disease. He
had been seriously i'll only five days,
and as late as last Tuesday was at his
work. Mrs. Billman IS Frustrated, as
the patient hung so tenaciously to life
that both she and the physician hoped
he would win out in the struggle;
Mr.. Billman's parents with brother
have been notified and will be here to-
morrow, as will Mrs. Billman's brother,
Harry Sommers of New York
Mr.. Blllman was recognized as a
well-equipped\ and ambitious newspaper
man, who had made success in almost
every line connected with the profess
sion. With his close application to
business, his industry and intelligence,
his prospects for advancement were. be-
lieved to be excellent, as he was still a
young man, being but 3S years Of age.
He was graduated from Yale in 1892,
and began newspaper work on a small
Tribune There he became dramatic
critic, and after time took the same
position on the Record! This paper
sent him to Cuba as war correspon-
dent. He was with Admiral Schley at
Santiago and with General Lawson at
Ell Caney. After the war he went with
the Associated Press, leaving to found a
paper called The Press, st. Joseph, Mo.
When this was merged in 1908, Mr..
Billman went with Frank A. Munsey on
the New York News. On April Is, 1904,
he assumed charge Of the news depart
ment Of the Times Of this city.
