K/4AA ONE1 IS UOl all AhtAt i9 NS At@1- H(Vk There are money makers galore in this world. Anybody who wants to can make money; and there are all sorts of ways to make it. These be honest and dishonest; and they may be neither. It was only a few days ago that a prominent man resigned an attor- neyship paying him more than one hun- dred thousand dollars a year to become a judge at five thousand a year. His rea- son was that he was tired of advising millionaires how to- keep out of the clutches of the. law. He had made his money was independent and his better self asserted itself
 Men cannot carry money with them into the great beyond. Every man Is ambitious and would have the self-respect, the plaudits and the good will of his fel- low man. Honor and glory and self respect and especially, the good will of one's neighbors ranks above mere money.
 Newspapers and men who write for the newspapers have. in a measure, criticised Elihu Root for tossing aside so to speak, tremendous retainers in the legal pro- IeSSlOn IO DeCOille oeCIetdIy oA otdte,
 Root may or may not need money. But certainly he is ambitious and values his brain and his future history above liqui- dating in mere lucre.
 To be Secretary of State in times like these is to be either a great man or a complete failure. Root assumed, when offered the position, to nke his chances. He values position above money. He evidently believed he was equal to the task imposed upon him. He must place upon his own doings a value and consider himself equal to the emergency. The man who does this and is willing to test his ability, his energy and his mettle as against the worlds judgment of the qualifications necessary for the position, Is the man who will win out if he is pos- ! sessed of the mettle.
 | I can but admire the man who is will ing to toss aside all that Root had to assume a position of great name but little money He Is made of the right stuff, The mettle is there and we may count upon the right ring from Root.

CONVERTING CREEK INTO LARD.
How Stagnant Stream Is Trans.
formed Into a Fancy Brand

There is a Stsauant little stream in
the stockyards district Of Chicago
which finds its Ultimate outlet in the

stream convenient MS sort of cess

the refuse of their Slaughterhouscs
which can rot by any known process

able products This refuse consists
mainly Of animal matter, and, as this
putrefying material in the water gives
off gases continually, which find their
way to the surface scum in the way OF
bubbles the stream has come to be
known by the name of "ubhly creek. ="
Some time ago an enterprIsing German
perfected a process for converting the
scum into lard, This process Is In
