sought for employment. but without
success, and, journeying on, reached
Philadelphia with but Il dollar in his
pocket. But success crowned his ca
reer in Philadelphia ere many years
had fed one of his most successful
as well as famous enterprises was the
Poor Richards Almanac" the first
number of which he published when he
was twenty-siX and which at once be-
came popular. He continued publish
ing this almanac for twenty-five years.
1t was translated into all the languages
of Europe. and its quaint sayings have
become household words For many
years he published the Philadelphia
Gazette. He organized the first pub
lie library in Philadelphia and estab-
lished the academy which has devel-
oped into the University of Pennsyl-
vana. The art Of printing is in his
deb 20 All immeasurable degree.
In 174S Franklin sold his paper, his
almanac and his printing plant He
was then only forty-two, but he had
accumulated what in those days was
considered Il fortune, and as the af
fairs of his countrymen demanded his
attention he determined to have no
impediments in the way Of his render
ing Jealous public service. For pc
riod of over forty years thereafter he
was almost continuously occupied in
the cause of his country. Prior to the
Revolution he represented the interests
of his own colony of Pennsylvania and
sometimes other colonies ut the British
court; he participated i'm the drawing
up of the Declaration of Independence.
of which he was one of. the signers.
and he spent some of the most impor-
tant years of his life pleading the cause
of the colonies at the court of France
With what success he pleaded is
known to all. His inventions and dis
coveries gave him a high place in the
world of science and learning and he
is recognized today as the father of
electrical science. He might have made
a great deal of wealth out of his in
ventionS, but he did not worship the
almighty dollar and valued money
only as it contributed to the enjoyment
Of comforts and rcfinements. Though
so versatile and accomplished. he was
content to be knowG simply as print
er, and when he died in 1890 the fol-
lowing epitaph, which he wrote him
self, was placed upon his tombstone:

The Romans usch Holly.

1t should prove OF immense interest
to students of history that the early
Romans had festival at about the
time of our Christmas and that they
festooned their houses with holly in
honor of the god Saturn. This was
called the Saturnalia, and the charac-
ter of the celebration may be judged
from the fact that the name is still
the synonym for carousal and immor-
atty. At this time the Romans sent
their friends sprigs of holly, thus in
dicating their good wishes for pros
perity and long life. 1t is related that
the early Christians also decked their
homes with holly at this season for
the purpose of escaping persecution.

The custom of chasing spooks on the
night before Christmas comes from

ed house should be sufficiently old to
be something of Il ghost itself. Like
violins and whisky, spooky atmos-

A ghost hunt should be carried on
at midnight of course. If no specter
be found, an active Imagination should
have no difficulty in conjuring up one
of its own. The only way to account
for the fact that ghosts abound more
at Christmas than at other times is
that the Christmas season is Il very
attractive one on earth and the spooks

of the day. In the famous city whose
name signifies that in which Franklin
firmly believed brotherly loye-the
most elaborate of these exercises will
be held. They will be under the direc-

lie was first chosen to parliament in
1892 ana in 1894 was created baronet
in recognition of his engineering
achievements. In 1881 he married An
ME. daughter Of the late Sir John Cass
of Bradford, and they have son,
CliS4, now taking bis course at oxford,
and1a daughter, who recently married
Lord neuman. The Pearsons dispense
Il lavish hospitality at their London
home, Carlton House Terrace and,
though Sir Weetman is fond of good
living. he is not an arist0crat, but is.
democratic in manners and thorough
man of business. In the boring of the
tunnels under the East river the Eng
lish contractor makes it his policy to
employ for the most part American
labor and American tools and mate
rails. His firm obtained the contract
in competition with American con
tractors. He comes to this country sew
eral times year, as rule, to super
wise the work and also spends much
time in Mexico. where he has on hand
even larger project than the tunnel
ing of the East river. 1t was his firm
which constructed the Vera Cruz har-
Dor works, costing $5,0000O0, and the
great $l5,000,000 canal which drains
the valley Of Mexico BY the Tehuan-
tepec railroad, with its terminals on
the east and west of the continent. the
MeN,canS hope to compete successful
ly with the Panama canal for trans
continental traffic. The road from sea
to sea is now practically completed.
The task involved the boring of sew
eral tunnels through the mountains
and the construction of several splen-
did stee. bridges. 1t also involved the
construction Of harbors at either END
OF the road, . task of greater magni-
tude and more engineering difficulties
than the building of the railroad itself
An idea of the extensive character of
the work may be obtained from the
fact that at Rincon Antonio new
town has been built with all facilities
for making the life Of the company's
employees agreeable and homelike, in
GLIDING church, clubhouse, company
stores and lodge rooms for societies.
1t is said that Sir Weetman Pearson
is proudest Of having built the Black
well tunnel under the Thames. Engi-
neering difficulties were encountered
and overcome in this work that made
subsequent tasks seem easy.

Ida NJ. Tarbell and others, noted for
their assaults upon this titanic crea-

brought against that institution. and
Mr.. Rockefeller is among this number.
