Jane Addams occupies peculiar po-

through the fact that her generosity

Sir Conan Doyle considers Napo-
leon as perhaps the most wonderful
man who ever lived. He writes that
what strikes him most e,rcibly is the
lack of finality in his character.
When one decides that he is COM
plete villain, he reads Of some noble
trait, ar1 then loses his admiration
in some act Of incredible meanness.
But here was you..; man, Of
thirty years, with no social advan-
tages, very little edrcaItion, his
family poverty striken, entering a
room in company with Kings, each
and every one jealous Of any atten-
tons shown BY him to any one Of
them.
He must have had some private
charm, for his intimate friends loved
and worshipped him, and withal he
was the most amazing and talented
liar that ever lived, and one who told
the truth only to himself.
An originator Of great schemes that
seemed fantastic and impossible, his
n. 'esty Of detail brought success
where another man would have failed.

CoIoring Matter In Food.

Since we have been brought face to
face with the fact that most every
article constituting our daily diet con-
tains some artificial coloring matter.
there has been a demand for some
method by which we can test such foods
in order to determine whether or not
they contain artificial coloring. The
Department Of Agriculture has but re-
Gently issued q bulletin containing a
classification Of the colors used in food
products as we'll as methods for their
detection.

There is much growing sentiment
In favor of school garden work in all

is the backbone of the country, SO ag-
ricultural education is the stem and
fibre of successful farming. School
garden work, as it applies to children
who have never lived on a farm, is q
start toward scientific agricultural
education, and it is a branch of educa-

AN OBSCURE NEW YORK LAWYER
RISES TO POWERFUL AND
COMNANDLNG POSITION.

E. Hughes Develops Into Dominat-
Ing Factor In Great Insurance In
vestigations.
In the history of the stage It has
happened more than once that an act
or, not thought to be q star, but with
sound qualities and training has &C
cepted a part rejected by others, and
by careful study and Interpretation
made 1t the most interesting portion OF
the play, and achieved distinction as
before the country to-day, there Is an
instance going to show that fortune
for such fidelity Is not confined to the
stage.
Ay or so ago the New York leg
islature ordered an inquiry into the
methods of the gas companies OF
Greater New York, and the COMMITTEES
appointed for the work had some trou-
BILE in Its search for legal adviser and
examiner Of witnesses. The task, for
some reason. did not appeal to the
prominent members OF the bar who
we. approached, and the choice I'm
ally fell on man comparatively un-
known. He had to be introduced to
the public outside Of legal circles. But
he developed at once into a man OF
striking force. and performed his dut-
les 80 well he earned the applause OF
the whole State.
Probes Insurance.
When the legislative inquiry into the
New York insurance Irregularities was
ordered the committee decided upon
legal counsel, and again difaculty was
encountered in securing 1t. The man
who had SO satisfactorily served the
gas committee was travelling in Eu-
rope. and at the moment could not be
reached with an offer. The offer went
begging for few days. until at last
Brooklyn lawyer accepted. Upon his
suggestion, however, the man abroad,
who was really desired, was cabled on
the subject and engaged to assist in
the work. After the work began this
assistant virtually became the lead
ing counsel, and conducted the inves-
tigation, which was of national inter-
est, in a way to merit and receive
national applause. He has become one
Of the most conspicuous figures Of to-
day.
Man of the Hour.
And 10 Mr.. Charles E. Hughes is the
subject of no little speculation. The
obscure New York lawyer Of the other
day is a powerful man of this day
He is mentioned for both political and
business honors. He might have been
the Republican candidate for mayor in
the recent municipal campaign, and
had he been might likely have swept
the city. He is now mentioned for
his party's leadership in next years
gubernatorial campaign. He is like
wise suggested for the presidency OF
the Mutual Life Insurance Company.
And should he decline preferment in
both of these lines, and decide to stick
to his profession, he is assured of a
vast increase over the practice than he
enjoyed before.
All of which goes to show that 1t
pays to do whatever you set out to do
with all your heart and mind.

The ZENITH SHOE.
IT'S STANDARD MAINTAINED IN SPITE

Along with about everything else,
leather has advanced materially in
price. In spite Of this, Meigs g. Co.,
Of Bridgeport, announce that they will
maintain the high standard of the
Zenith S3 so shoe and bear the brunt OF
the great rise in leather. The import
tance or this action on the part of the
intrOducers OF this famous shoe is
fully appreciated by the thousands OF
men who wear the Zenith Shoe. The
same style and perfect fit and the same
serviceable qualities which have made
the Zenith shoe famous will still be
available at the old price. The fact
that this shoe is presented In the
authoritive shapes as we'll as the more
conservative lasts moulded specifically
for comfort, gives it q broad clientage
among all classes of men. Dressy
young fellows find what they want In
