BUSINESS OPENINGS IN THE
NORTHWEST.

It seems to me that the man with
small capital can find no better op-
portun1ty for investment and for the
esta blishment of small business than
in some one Of the many growing towns
of the Northwest.
The Great Northern Railway issues
a booklet Business Openings" which
adequately and comprehensively de-
scribes the needs Of the many towns
along its line and contains detailed
list Of the business openings afforded
the man with limited means as we'll as
the big investor. I do not know of a
section of the country which offers
such limitless opportunities to the man
who Is content to live in a new coun-
try. The fact that In nearly every
state Of the Northwest there is an
available supply for almost every form
of manufacture, offers to the manufac-
turer a chance to operate close to the
supply OF raw material. szs J, Rial

YOUNG ASTOR'S LUCK.


Young Vincent Astor, the fourteen-year-
old son Of John Jacob Aston, who is re-
ported to be seriously i'll in London, has
not been half SO fortunate as many other
little New York boys whose only inherit
arce is pair Of strong arms. For the
last four years young Vincent has spent
most of his time under his fathers roof n
New York, and not single one of the
affections incident to adolescence has
passed him by without laying heavy
hand upon him. He has had the mumps,
the measles, scarlet fever and Appendix
citis. Young Vincent grew very rapidly.
fact which probably aggravated many
Of his ailments. or at least made him
more susceptible to them. His habit Of
being Ill has led his father to hire ply
scian especially to watch and study him.
In addition, he has valet and numerous
servants of his own at his disposal.
Young Astor is prospectively the richest
boy in the world. If he lives he will sue
coed his father as the head Of the great
Aston estate, estimated to be worth at
least $l50,00o,000. x

ion; but without public opinion little
is possible. This is the moral force
that is stronger than law or legisla-
ton, but whether this power shall be
for or against the interests Of the peo-
pie depends upon what forces guide
and shape public opinion. Therefore,
let us strive to exert our influence
along this line; let us endeavor to
guide public opinion so as to be ever
on the side of Justice; let us place
high ideals before men to guide them
in their public and private life; let us
place character above cunningness. vir-
tue above wealth, and we will thereby
create an atmosphere that will pro-
duce good and honest men whose aim
will be to do justice to all. And when
all men earnestly seek justice we will
be able to at least lessen the burdens
of mankind.

SLEEPS IN THREE BEDS.

from the new 1OIk '1IlOunes
One Of the big up town hotels has a
particularly nervous person, who, fortu-
natey for his ma.ady, is not under the
necessity Of counting the cost Of his en-
terta.nment. He always reserves two
rcoms-a double room, containing two
BEDS and a single room, with Its ordl-
nary complement Of one bed-and yet he
is always unattended and alone He
finds it impossible to sleep whole night
through in the same bed, or even hall
the night but with three beds at his dis
posal, he takes installments Of repose IN
each of them, and SO gets through the
night. One other patron of the same
hotel finds 1t necessary to have two sepa-
rate rooms, solely because he enjoys a
quiet smoke in his own apartments, and
especially, just before retiring. He would
however, find it impossible to sleep In a
room the atmosphere Of which had been
surcnarged with cigar smoke. One room
is therefore, used solely as private
smoking-room, and the other as bou-
dOir.

LEWIS & CLARK EXPOSITION.

L." 1S q OAAHh kIAfOS1I1ONs
It is a noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid of the government.
And it is also surprising what an in
terest is manifested in the Exposition
by the people of the East. They see
in the Exposition an opportunity to
visit the Western country at greatly
reduced expenditure of money, and not
only see the Exposition itself, but view
the wonders Of our Western scenery,
and witness the great resources Of the
Northwest and the opportunities af-
forded. The Great Northern Railway
passenger department has been flood
ed with inquiries as to the Exposition
and it augurs well for a big travel
through the Northwest this year.

Value of the Home.

Home should never be tie place
where business should be discussed ex-
cept ,for very short time. Mother
has had all the troubles during the
day that are good for her without be-
ing compelled to listen to the troubles
OF her husband. Father has had
enough cares while acting in the cap
acity of bread winner for the family
without having all the details of the
home troubles Of the day put on his
plate to digest for his evening meal
Discussing the doleful from morning
until night IL enough to set one crazy.
AS we want to die sane we never hash
over our troubles to our family. Home
is the place to show how good you feel.
If you don't feel as good as you would
like TO, take a walk In the back yard
until you get into condition that
will permit you TO be comfort to
these to whom you are in duty bound
to be a comforter.

The Cabbage Worm Fake.

Five million dollars paid for a lie, :"
is the way j. w. Brown, a Des Moines
wholesale produce merchant, describes
the sequel to the story concerning the
cabbage snake.
s~&eeone started warn to the effect
that small worm or snake was con-
cealed in many Of the cahhages on the
market. and as result cabbages are
rOtting in the produce cellars. People
are afraid TO buy them.
1t is estimated that there are at
least $4,000 worth OF cabbages in Des
Moines which no one will purchase,
y.hile It is ciaimsd that the damage
caused by the story throughout the
natisn will not be less than $1,000, 900.
Fad papers are discussing the mat
ter ~ furious vein. and regular cab
bage raisers declare they would give
big reward for the punishment OF the
cabbage snake liar, il punishment was

What 1t Is And The Benefits To Be
Derived Thereirom.

Was instituted in order that the
any member OF his family could have
the means of burial without having
10 go into debt tor this purpose.
The Association is run by the mem
bfrs for Ia" members, surplus being
returned TO the members.
Any person in good health. from TO
70years Of age, irrespective of occup-
alton, and many OF those that cannot
secure life insurance, may become
members by paying an entrance fee Of
80 cents for adults and Is cents for
TNchildren.
The member Is Immediately bene-
fetal.
Unlike other associations we guar
autee 70 furnish just what is called for
In the contract. You are assured
that the interment will be just as you
arrange IL at the time Of joining.
1t is Mutual in every sense, there
being no rent. salaried officials or any
kindred expense; the members share
in the profits.
After entrance, no money is paid
until death occurs In tho same series,
At which time Is cents will be collect
ed from each adult and 5 cents from
each child: unless over 50 years Of age
in which case % cents will be collect
ed. No other payment is required
until the next death.
Thus one provides for the inevitable;
provides in a quiet manuer, unharrass-
ed and unannoyed, provides in such a
manner that no matter when death
comes, friends and relatives are saved
worry and trouble; are not left the
legacy OF an unpaid funeral bill. All
this can be accomplished at such q
small expense that it is not felt.
To those who wish such protection
for themselves and their families and
an interest In a business at a small in.
vestment, this plan should appeal
most forcibly. There is nothing in
this country today that is like it; II
plan which gives full protection.

Howes moving picture exhibition was
given, and the beholder for the nonce was
in Imagination transported to the fierce
battle fields of the far east, and became an
eye witness of the charges and counter
charges of the Japs and Russians. The
pictures were taken at the noted battle or
Mukden and depicted a Japanese charging
column scaling a high wall; their repulse
by the heavy infantry of the car, and the
final successful charge of the little Japs,
supported by a battery, the guns being
hauled into position by hand.
The maneuvers of the sturdy Scotch SOL
diers of the English army formed another
interesting series of views, as did the re-
cent motor-boat races across the English
channel, which are remarkably clear and
depict an unusually exciting train of Incl

The Work Of BENZ. Banneker.

To the Editor of The Evening Starr
1t is interesting to learn that Congress has
made small appropriation for the purpose
of erecting a suitable memorial over the
grave of Major L'Enfant, who laid OUT
Washington, D. c.
In 1873, after the District of Columbia was
selected as the site for the capital Of the
Federal City, commissioners were APP
POINTED to run the lines Of the city, and
associated with them was colored man
named Benjamin Banneker. who resided and
died at Ellicott Mills. Mr.. Banneker assist
ed Major L Enfant In his survey Of the city
Of Washington, which should be recognized.
Mr.. J. Laurins Norm, in an address deliv-
cred before the Baltimore City (Md) His
torical Society October 5, 1854, says: "They
the commission wished to avail themselves
of his talents, induced him Banneker) to
accompany them in the work, and retained
him with them until the service was COM
pleted." (See printed addresses, Baltimore
Historical Society, VOL H. pages II, 12)
Thus associated with Major L'Enfant was
this colored man, to which the state his
tOrian Of Maryland or any member Of the
Baltimore Historical Society can testify.
Yet Banneker's talents and work in run
ming the lines of Washington go by with
out being recognized, and yet 1t is puzzling
why the District Commissioners should
make this omission

strollng along Penn sylvania avenue one
day several weeks ago he decided to Sc
cure some souvenirs of Washington. 1t
was while examining the show windows of
dealer in souvenirs, he says, that the ash
tray which gave offense to the professors
sepsibilities doomed up before him. The
trays he said, are made in Boston, but he
had prevented their exhibition and sale
there through his efforts as a director of
the Watch and Ward Society. Under direc-
ton of Major Sylvester, the police made an
investigation of the complaint, and went
on a still hunt for the Objectionable ash
GERS, and this was purchased in order that
the public might not be contaminated The
dealer declared that the article was the
only one of the kind in stock, and he
promised not to deal in similar kinds of ash
trays again, and prosecution was Or
dered. Lieut.. Moore Of the sixth police pre-
cinct states that the officers have instruc-
tons to carefully observe display windows
