A greater per cent. of those who have

those who have never had the smallpox
This is partly due to the fact that one
attack of smallpox does not guard
against Il second attack, and partly be-
cause those who have had smallpox are
more careless about exposing themselves
to the cOntagJQn.

AN HEIR TO 100000.
BILLY" Stafford, Winthrop Harbor Night
watch, Also Thinks President
His Relative

Kenosha, Wis, Aug 7.-[Special.]-~
Billy" Stafford of Winthrop Harbor,
night Waterman in the plant of the Mu-
nicipal Engineering company, it is
claimed by people at Winthrop Harbor
and Billy believes it himself-has re-
Gently received letters from New York
estate of 100000, and that Stafford
has been able to establish his distant
relationship to President Roosevelt.
May Be Rich in October.
Stafford is IS years of age and his
story reads like the dream of a childish
old man, but it is pretty we'll authenti-
Gated. Attorneys in New York who
have charge of the matter claim that
they will be able to turn a vast sum of
money over to Stafford by October l of
this year, and Billy is simply existing
until the money arrives.
The land that is involved in the
strange claim of the Winthrop Harbor
man is a tract of ninety-SiX acres of
land in New York city. 1t is covered
with sky-scrapers and is grimy from the
dust of a thousand chimneys in the
neighborhood. Safford's great-grand
mother had an undisputed title to the
property and most of it was leased for
ninety-nine years. Long since the old
woman was gathered to her fathers and
the leases have just expired.
New York capitalists, it is said, have
acknowledged the claim of Stafford and
the other heirs, and have offered either
to buy the property or take new leases
for the period named in the former
leases.
Works Hard for $50 a Month.
In the meantime the multi-millionaire
of Winthrop is living at the Neinabar
hotel, a commonplace lodging house for
workmen, and all night he tramps the
confines of the plant at Winthrop Har
Dor earning paltry $50 a month for his
labor. In the last four years he has not
missed a single day.
When seen yesterday Stafford stated
that when he came into his money he
would build the finest house in Winthrop
Harbor and then bring his daughter
there to keep house for him. The
daughter is married, lives in Colorado,
and is childless. The villagers at Win
throp Harbor all like the kindly old
man, and even the babies in the town
know that Billy is a millionaire. Stafford
was formerly railway conductor on an
Illinois railway.
President Roosevelt is said to be one
of the dozen heirs to the property, and
a year ago when attorneys offered to
settle with Stafford for a few hundred
dollars he declined the offer, and it is
claimed that it was the President who
advised him to take this action.

Dietz Calls It a Bluff.

Valentine Weisenbach, Dietz's right
hand man through his trouble, was in

the plan of the company is to use a
steam skidder to carry the logs from the
dam, a distance of eight miles through
heavy timber and a section of rocks and
hills.

ter as a bluff, but should it prove true,
no one will welcome the fact with more

Havana's cemetery is typical OF the

can countries 1t consists Of a wall
eight to ten feet thick, honeycombed
with inches for the reception of cof.
fins, and surrounding plot OF land
which Is never used for burial pur.
poses, and Is usually in a neglected
condition. The cemetery is run by
the municipal authorities and the
inches are rented. The payment re-
qured upon the sealing of one of
these holes in the wall insuros an
undisturbed resting place for its con-
tents for three or five years from that
time, according to the particular GUS
tom of the locality. Then an annual
rental must be paid for a period OF
twenty-five years. at the end of which
time the tenant gets a title in perpet-
uity. But how few ever find a last
resting place in one of these inches 10
shown by the fact that, despite the
tremendous increase in population
since it was built two or three CEN
turies ago, the cemetery has never
been enlarged, and there are always
plenty of vacancies. Upon default OF
payment OF the rental the bones are
raked out of the niche, and it is ready
for the next occupant. The bones are
placed in one corner Of the cemetery,
and there at least, they lie undisturb.

When Trouble Comes.

Just remember that every cloud
has a silver lining
Put your shoulder to the wheel
and say: II will be bright, l will
make the best of things"
Don't sponge on your friends
simply because they assure you you
are perfectly welcome to what
they have.
If at the end of the day you feel
discouraged at your lack OF progress
don't sit down and lament over it ;
find out your mistake and try to do
better next day.
1t you wish to achieve any sue
cess in life, the surest way to do SO
is by keeping at whatever your ap-
pointed task may be with unhaG-
ging interest and energy.
Don't be overpowered by the
dark side keep at it until you find
the bright one, for weeping may
endure for a night, but joy cometh
in the morning"
When most tempted to whine and
rebel at the way things are going
Just think of the mother who strug-
giles for food and shelter for her
little ones, who in the face Of the
darkest trials bears up for their
sake, and you will be sure to
brighten up through very shame of
daring to do anything else.

When Bees Were Used In War.

There are at least two recorded in
stances in which bees have been used
as weapons of defense in war, When
the Roman general Lucullus was war
ring against Mithridates, he sent a
force against the city OF Themiscyra,
AS they besieged the walls, the inhab'
itants threw down on them myriads
of swarms of bees. These at once
began an attack which resulted in the
raising of the siege. These doughty
little insects were also once used with
equal success in England. Chester was
beseged by the Danes and Norweg-
ians, but it's Saxon defenders threw
down on them the beehives OF the
town, and the siege was soon raised.

THE VALUE Or AN EGG
Some Interesting Facts and Figures
About the Hens Product

Nutrtive Qualities Should be Eaten
Raw or Lightly Cooked

Here are some facts and fgures
relative to the hen's egg, says SHc-
cess, which may not be without in
terest to the student OF poultry
possibilities. Its average length is
two and twenty seven hundred hs
inches, its average diameter at the
broad end, one and seven,y-two
hundredths inches, and it Weighs
about one-eighth Of pound The
pullets are smaller than those of
old hens. The shell constitutes
about II per cent, the yolk 81 per
cent and the white 81 per cent Of
the total egg Chemically speaking
the egg consists OF two nutrients
protein and fat together with some
water and a small quantity of min
eral matter. Popular belief to the
contrary, there is no difference in
the nutritive qualities of eggs with
dark shells and those with light.
Their flavor is affected by the food
OF the fowl, for good or for evil.
Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped investigators prove that
the egg deserves its reputation as
an easily assimilated and highly
nutritious food, if eatel raw or
lightly cooked. Such experiments
also show that eggs at twelve cents
per dozen are a cheap source of
nutrients; at sixteen cents, some
what expensive, and at twenty.
FIVE cents and over highly eXtrava
CANT. The basis of comparison
was the market prices of standard
flesh foods considered in relation to
their nu;ritive clements. But there
is a physiological constituent of

it defies the search of the scientist
or the inqnisltion of the statistician,
and that is their palatability. I'M

The Smallest Known Thing.

Perhaps | may attempt to Illustrate
the profound truth, enunclated in re-
cent art crItique in this paper, that
large and small are not absolute but
relative terms. The electron-which
was referred to as the smallest thing
we know-bears to the atom Of which
1t is a constituent relation all but
incredible. This Is the way Sir Oliver
Lodge puts it. Let us imagine an
atom as large as st. Paul's Cathedral
The electrons which circle within 1t
will then be about the size Of this full
stop. The distances between the cleo
irons will be comparable, relatively
to their size, to those between the
planets of the solar system. Now let
us see what is the real size of this
atom thus magnifed to the size of St.
Paul's. Lord Kelvin has answered
that. He calculated that If a drop OF
water were magnified to the size OF
the earth it's constituent atoms would
be somewhere between the size Of
small shot and cricket balls. Having
thus obtained an idea as to the size OF
an atom, try to conceive to the cleo
tron, which bears to 1t the relation
that a full stop bears to st. Pauls
Cathedral. Large and small are terms
relative to the mind of man who
coined them. and the best answer to
the annotator who declares that the
Dutch painters taught the insignifi-
canoe OF man is that saying of the
Greek philosopher, Man is the meas
ure Of all things. Pail Mall Gazette.
