ard Oil people.
He magnanimously declined to take
any money for his work as the COM
pensation that would be rendered
would, of course, not meet his ideas
of future millionaire" He thirsted
for larger schemes. The Boston Gas
field was too small.
So he seized upon the copper indus
try of the world and filled Rogers and
Rockefeller with illusions of wealth
by making Calumet & Hecla of holes
in the earth. But before he got the
I Amalgamated Copper GO. started he
was again in distress and II. H. Rog-
ers, William Rockefeller and A. G.
Burrage, now directors of the Anal
gamated Copper Co., came to his re-
lief and took over his Butte & Bos-
ton copper mine at 500 per share.
They formed the Amalgamated
Copper Co., bought the Anaconda and
other Montana mines for less than
100000, Mr.. Lawson now declares,
and turned them over to the public
for $75,000,000.
In this deal Lawson did not share.
He did the promoting, the advertising,
the booming, the bidding, the stock
manipulating and the public decep-
ton. But the Standard Oil people
cruelty divided the spoil and kept him
in the hallway awaiting his time.
After they had worked off their
Amalgamated Copper, they gave Law
sons Butte & Boston a royal turn.
What had cost Lawson 500 a share
they put into Amalgamated share for
share, when Amalgamated was selling
around $3.50. This made Lawson
multi-millionaire and he Immediately
branched out with horses, yachts,
million-dollar stock farm, and a claim
that he alone was the gas king, the
copper king, the defender of the
Queens cup and a lot of other stuff
that will go down in history as Tom
mics rot"
Again he played the stock market,
but his expenses were heavier than
the ticker tape could supply. His
millions shrunk and shrunk and his
debts didn't diminish.
Today he is outside the pale of 26
Broadway, making faces in the
Street" and threatening to smash the
windows or blow up the buildings or
destroy the entire financial structure
unless he is settled with aud given
some more things to play with.
He now has no yacht, no Bay State
Gas shares or treasury, his horses are
dwindling in number, and there is
left only to him his work for a ten
cent magazine, his ticker talk" and
what he can make between the two
His primary use is that Of an at
tacker OF values, and his only posi-
ton is that of a bear in the stock
market. He lifts prices only to sell
short and is now in exactly the place
where G. w. Barron of the Boston and
Philadelphia News Bureau said years
ago he would land-a stock market
bear attacking the public securities
and finding his occupation and money
in newspaper attacks" and literature
and newspaper advertising devoted to
threats of dreadful things he is going
to do but never does.
He is a bugaboo, affrighting the
souls of timid investors, filling the
public ear with fiction and their
mouth with sand, while he assists to
empty their pockets of millions that
he may gather some pennies for him

LAwsoN's HISTORY CONDENSED.


entitled Seen and Heard" gives the
following condensed account of Bos-
toms stock market bear operator:
"Tom" Lawson is the most versa
tile financial fakir that this country
has ever seen. His career began ear
ly. AS a boy he ran away from school
three times before his parents con-
cluded to abandon him to the Street"
Here, as a messenger for State
street brokerage house in Boston, he
got away with inside knowledge of
the famous Cincinnati, Sandusky &c
Cleveland deal and was soon rolling
in wealth even before he was old
enough to smoke a cigar. He played
the market and soon found himself
with only $50 in his pocket. He in
vited his boy associates up to
tossed the waiter the balance of his
pocket money in order that he might
again start fresh in life.
This Is the true history and picture
of Thomas w. Lawson as a boy, and
it has been true of him as a man
many times since.
Later he ran bucket shop in
Providence and worked" the trains
between Boston and Providence.
There are some ugly stories concern
ing his operations there which may
be left to his enemies to run down,
for there is enough that is picturesque
in his career to warrant not looking
too far into a shady past.
Later, with King, the famous pub
Usher, he could be found in posses
sion of the Rand-Avery printing
presses in Boston getting valuable
education in printers ink and adj
vertising possibilities.
The creditors of the Rand-Avery
Co., however, had to pay the bills,
for there was soon great burst in
this printing establishment, and those
creditors who were fortunate got near.

he had scarcely enough left to invite
his cronies to a $50 dinner.
He again went back to the Street
and the ticker, worked the Street.
the "Gulch" and the bucket shops
and later mapped out weary waste
in the South which he advertised as
Grand Rivers, place for clergy
men,"
At Grand Rivers he became mayor
sheriff, promoter, and later receiver of
his own town, iron furnaces, etc. The
result was 100000 loss to New Eng.
land investors and not even Is cents
on the dollar to show for 1t.
Later he started the Lawson Store
Service Co, the concern making cash
carriers for department and dry goods
stores, and for some years paying div
idends to the holders of it's shares.
Lawson first doomed the stock up
from $50 to $50 per share by news
paper publications, stating that an
English company was to buy out the
business at a large price.
Then he sold it short and advanced
the price by other newspaper publ
cations and all sorts of ingenious
stock market devices. He sent flying
through the markets and over the
wires kilograms of all sorts of dam
aging reports by inquiry, attacked
the credit of the company and finally
forced it to suspend dividends, in or
der to pay it's floating debt during
which period, of course, "Tricky Tom"
gathered in the shares which he had
sold short.

COCOANUT BUTTER.
A Table Compound to Be Made of This
Vegetable Oil.

vegetable VII.
From the English Worlds Work.
A new butter is now being made from the
milk of the cocoanut. This milk, when
subjected to a temperature of over % c.,
runs into a yellow oil, which is imported
in great quantities from India and Africa
The better qualities of 1t obtained from
Ceylon, Cochin China and Australia. The
nut produces 60 per cent of oil, and one
acre of land planted with cocoanut trees
would produce over 400 pounds of oil. This
has hitherto been used for fats for soap or
for machinery Oil, and the better qualities
employed in the manufacture Of textile
goods. In France this oil is now subjected
to special treatment and converted into
butter.
DR.. Heuner. a German chemist proposes
to buy up all the cocoanut oils and trans
form. them into what he terms vegetable
butter"
Ths cocoanut butter, like that made from
cows milk, contains 7 per cent of soluble
acids 1t will keep from Is to 20 days
without showing any sign of acid reaction
and 1t contains from % to 80 times less
water than ordinary butter. while its slow
ness in oxidiZing makes it specially suit
able for pastry and cakes, as they will not
get stale SO quickly when made with it as
with other butter. Another advantage
claimed for cocoanut butter is that it

microbes. At the Central Hospital of VI
emma and in various hospitals In Swltzer-
land experiments have been made with this
new butter. and the results have been pro-
nounced satisfactory.

From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
'The bracer" is the name popularity
given to a so-called patent-that is, not
patent, but very secret-concoction sold at
soda water" fountains by the nostrum
drug stores In some towns or small cities
and In some parts of our country 1t is said
that practically every one has this form of
the drug habit, for such it is. Narcomia is
being extended by this means to an extent
that is frightful. Clerks and office men
they have had four or five glasses of these
secret drugs. and the laboring population
is almost bad" The attention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
(Which thinks the medical profession re-
sponsible for alcoholism and drug habits)
is respectfully called to this atrocious
abuse. Saloons also help In the degrading
horror of drugging the already wretched
quality of the liquors sold. All true tenn
perance people will unite with the medical
profession to check this abuse. Women's
civic Improvement clubs and leagues might
well devote some of their energies to get
ting good laws passed and in getting bad
men to execute them. If they would set
about 1t, the women could outroot this and
many similar evils. Possibly no new laws
are needed, and that only scientific analy-

GREAT CHANGE
from Change in Food

The brain depends much more on the
stomach than we are apt to suppose un-
til we take thought in the matter.
Feed the stomach on proper food easy
to digest and containing the proper
amount of phosphates and the healthy
brain will respond to all demands A
notable housewife in Buffalo writes:
"The doctor diagnosed my trouble as
a nervous affection of the stomach
was actually so nervous that / could
not sit still for five minutes to read the
newspaper, and to attend to my house
hold duties was simply impossible.

but medicine did no good
"Nfy physician put me on sill sorts of
diet, and 1 tried many kinds Of cereal
foods, but none of them agreed with
me. I was almost discouraged, and
when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with
many misgivings-I had no faith that it
would succeed where everything else

know how glad am that tried it.

Greek, Mich.
There's q reason.
Now why was this great changemade
in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind Of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centres in these organs. 1t is alb
solute folly to try to DO this with
medicine. There is but one sure way,
and that is to quit the old food that has
failed and take on Grape-Nuts food,
which is more than half digested in the
process Of manufacture and is rich in
the phosphate Of potash contained in
the natural grain, which tpites with
albumen and water-the oVly three
substances that will make up the soft
gray filling in the thousands Of delicate
nerve centres in the brain and body.
Grape-Nuts food is a sure read back to
health in all such cases.
