A gentleman once said to a
reporter: II never took a pa.
per that didn't pay me more
than I did for it. One time a
friend of mine started paper
way down south and sent it to
me and I subscribed just to en-
courage him and after a while
it published notice of an order
to sell a lot at public sale. So
I inquired about the lot and told
my friend to run it up $50. He
bid me off the lot at 1913, and l
sold it in a month for 800, so
made $62 clear by taking that
paper. My father told me that
when he was a young man he
saw a notice IN paper that a
school teacher was wanted
away off in a certain county
and he went and took the posi-.
ton and little girl was sent
to him and after a while she
grew up sweet and beautiful
and he married her. If he
hadn't taken that paper what
do you suppose would have be.

mony. / refused. Shortly after 'Fren-

resentative of the system in the west,
were selected to sling mud at me at

been industrious at it whenever yo,,
knew that it was safe, that is, whenever
you were sure could not answer YOU,
and now tonight at the dinner of the

here IN my own city, you are to again
rmlimber your mud guns. The Inter.
national League of Press Clubs is en-

thousand dollar fund for building and
equipping a home for journalists. J.

the last $4,000 providing the fund is

it was safe, therefore, I make you the
following offer: If you, the recognized
mouthpiece of the Standard OIL its

versed in public declaration as to stand
in the very front rank of the great pub
lie speakers Of this country, will meet
me in Faneuil hall, the cradle Of Amer.

the layman who has never delivered a

crimes and the cowardly villanies Of
your employers, within ten days of the
assault you are to make upon me in the
house of your friends tonight, will pay
over to the Journalists league the sum
of $4,000 and if you decide that it is
best we will raise further sum by
charging admission to the hall, | think
we could easily raise the entire fund of
$4,000 by such means. If you will
bring along your talented colleague from
the west Mr.: Eckels, SO much the bet
ter, and if you wish / will consent to
have every ticket in the hall sold to
your friends and will ask no odds but
to reply to what you will say.
"Now, Mr.. Beck, will you dare to
help this good cause, and incidentally
give the people one honest chance to
learn the truth You made onslaughts
upon me in public addresses, where I
have had no opportunity to answer. In
your last address at Philadelphia you
called me 'frenzied faker' wild
runamuck Malay
In spite of your wages from the

yourself SO cowardly as not to do this

mains in committee the last of the ap.
preparation bills--the general def.
cheney, which is held back for emer-

The statehood bill is to be consid.

an agreement will be reached before
the session is in its last moments.
The public buildings bill is to be q
matter of contest during the week be
tween the committee on rules and
those members Of the house who are
enthusiastic in its support. "A com
bined movement on the speaker has
been organized for the purpose Of Sc
