Rosewater. who had his portrait painted
last year. 1t cost him $1,000. and he was
very proud of it. When it came home, he
showed it to his cook.
"'Well. Mary he said, how do you Ike
this portrait??'
Sure, sir said the cook. It's lovely.
It's beautiful, It's divine

wcek-6ay-early i'm the morning n
again after business hours until bed
time. Also he spent the whole of ev-
cry Saturday and Sunday with me. He
developed astonishing deXterity as a
t6acher, and as 500 as he realized that
I had no false pride and was thor
ousllly in arrest he handled me with
out g!oves-like a boxing teacher who
finds that his pupil has the grit of a
professional. 1t was easy enough tor
me TO grasp the theory OF my new bus
inCss-it was nothing more than BE
natural But the rub came in maxi
ing myself naturally of the right sort.

disposition to be friendly and simple.
But my manner was by nature hi
you might call abrupt. Ny not very
easy task was to learn the subtle diff
ference between the abrupt that injects
9 tonic into social Intercourse, and the
abrupt that males the other person
shut up with a feeling of having been
insillted.
Then, there was the matter of good
taste in conversation. Monson found,
as l soon saw, thar my everlasting self
assertiveness was beyond cure. AS I
laid TO him: I'm afraid you might

and perhaps my readers may discover
even in this narrative, though it is nee
essarily egotistic, evidance of at least
an honest effort not to be badly boast
full. Monsoon would AVE liked to make
of me q self-deprecating sort of per-
son-such as he was himself, With the
result that the other fellow always got
the prize and he got left. But l would
have ON of it.
Hon are people to know about you,
il you don't tell 'em?" argued. Don't
you yourself admit that men take a
man at his own valuation less Il slight
discount, and that women take him at
his own valuation plus an allowance
for his supposed modesty?"
"Cracking yourself up. is vulgar,
nevertheless" declared the English
man. Its the chief reason why we
on the other side look on you Amer
leans as a lot of vulgarians-'
AND are in awe of our superior
cieverness," l put in.
He laughed.

A so-caIIed Portrait.

The late Edward RoseWater, the founder
ind editor of the Omaha Bee. had a sim
:ere love of art.
Mr.. Rosewater hated pictures that in
licated scamped work-so-called impress
sionistic pictures that were merely rough
md hurried sketches. and so-called por-
traits tina bore no likeness to their orig
tnals.
A young painter showed Mr.. Rosewater
ont Hay a portrait of a mutual friend.

exclaimed. I'D never have known it"

for a likeness, you know. l tried for an

BEsMIRCHED POLITICIANS.
Frying Fat Ont of Corporations Their
Chief Recommendation.


1t now appears that the Republican
congressional committee was another
CRATER on the life insurance comma
MES, and Chairman Babcock was the
solicitor and recipient of the contribu-
ton from the funds that should have
been sacred to the widows and or
phans. Mr.. Thummel, lobbyist for the
Mutual Life, admitted in his evidence
before the investigating committee
that he paid MI. Babcock $500 in
cash before the last election. The leg
fslative attorneys of the other insrr-
ance companies have not yet testified
on this point, but no doubt Mr. Bah
cock squeezed them all alike. What
object the mutual life insurance COM
panies had in making this contribution
TO elect a Republican congress is left
mostly to conjecture, but an mixing is
given that it was to influence the Re
publican members of congress, espe-
cially MI. Babcock himself, who was
chairman of the committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia, to refrain from leg
islating for the protection Of the policy
holders of the District and of the ter
ritories.
Was this money contributed to Mr..
Babcock for his own use or to the gen
eral committee fund for the election OF
Republican congressman? When the
time ZONES for investigating political
contributions Babcock's evidence on
this point will be interesting. The sue
cess of Mr.. Babcock in frying the
fat out Of corporations, who in return
expected to be immune from hostile
legislation or recipients of congrcssiOn-
al favors in railroad trust and tariff
legislation, has no doubt been his chief
recommendation to his Republican as
sociatcS. But there are Indications that
the life insurance scandals and other
threatened exposures when congress
meets Will necessitate the selection of
a ncw fat fryer for the Republican
congressional committee. It may be
said, however, in Mr.. Babcock's favor
that Mr.. Cortelyou still holds on as;
chairman OF the Republican national
committee, although he has been tarred
with the same brush that has besmirch-
ed MI. Babcock.
There Will have to be q thorough
job Of withdrawing done on about all
the Republican leaders, or they will all
have to retire for ''the good of the
party"

Fren2ied Finance and Elections.

President McCall's liberality with
other peoples money is no new trait of
frenzied finance. Over 100000 APP
pears to have been used by the New
York Life Insurance company to cor
rupt state legislatures, besides S15O,OOO
subscribed for the purchase of votes
by the Republican national committee.
Restitution of this latter amount by
the committee to the widows and or
phan5 Of the insured appears as far
Off rs before the scandal was discover
ed, though it is stated Mr.. COrtelyou,
the chairman, has q balance OF $780,
600 in the hands of the treasurer
which could not be used to advantage
in the late campaign. The Democratic
committee Gid not have as much con
tribut2d altogether as the balance still
held by the Republicans. No wonder
President Roosevelt was elected. Why.
the Republicans could have run a
"Jclier dorg'' and elected him with the
money they had to debauch the doubt
ful states.

SPRING VALLEY BOOMING
Famous Wyoming District Producing
Good Quality Of Oil.

c. A. Dorm of Evanston, Wyo,, is III
the city on business, a guest of the
Wilson. Mr.. Dorm is largely interested
in some OF the prominent oil enter
prises in Spring Valley. and SAYS the
quality of the oil there is superior TO
any yet found on this continent. That
it exists in large quantities is being
demonstrated by the fact that the oil
rises in the pipes from a depth of
ABOUT 100 feet TO within ninety TO 100
feet of the surface, and by pumping
readily yields 100 barrels Of oil per
da" the amount of the yield being de-
pendent upon the size of the pipe.
A great deal Of money. he says, is
being expended in the sinking OF oil
wells, with results that cannot help
but be immensely profitable. There is
considerable Salt Lake capital invested
IN oil wells in Spring Valley, and it is
almost certainty that the time is not
tar distant when the people of Salt
Lake Will be using a superior quality
of kerosene oil at lower prices than
they have ever heretofore paid. And
