One of the most admirable traits OF
Marshall Field is admirably stated by
the Chicago Tribune when it says that
there have been men whom wealth
made purse proud. arrogant. offensive
TO their equals, and tyrants To their
employees. Mr.. Field was not one OF
them. Riches did not change his man
ners. He was never aggressive or
pompous There was in him no show
of seIf-conceit in manner or speech.
He was reticent. but il was the reti-
cence of nIodesty, not of pride. His
employees were attached to him. He
treated them with courtesy he extend
cd TO everybody. He was as quiet or
reserved and as unostentatious when
ne was worth hundred millions as
when he was worth thousandth part
of that.

One of the current stories springing
from the curtailment of railroad pass
privileges concerns George II. Daniels
former head of the passenger depart
ment of the New York Central, now
manager of the company's advertising
business He sent an annual pass TO
Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Hi
nCis Central. who, on examination
found that according to restrictions
on the pass the only tram he could
use was one that left New York City
about sunrise. Mr.. Fish. in order to
show equal courtesy, filled out pass
in Mr.. Daniels name and sent it with
a pleasantly worded note acknowledg-
ing the favor which the latter had con-
ferred upon him. Mr.. Daniels examin-
cd the pass and saw that it read;
Good for transportation on all hand
cars on all the lines of the Illinois
Central railroad system

Admiral Dewey, dapper, sprightly
and smiling. is a familiar figure on
Washington's streets. He walks with
the jaunty spring of boy and takes
a keen interest in the street sights.
But one thing upsets the serenity of
the hero and Christmas time is the
most trying i'll the year. People will
send him as gifts loungins robes, pill
lows. footstools and other emblems OF
i'll health and feebleness. The admir-
al hates the sight of walking cane
as a pious Christian is supposed TO
hate the evil one. and he bundles all
such presents off to a home for the
old. He will barely acknowledge such
n gift politely.

FOOD OR
STIMULANT.

Ask your doctor if when
he orders a patient to drink
lots of pure milk he advises
the addition of a large
quantity of whiskey. He'll
tell you mo" very emphati-
cally. Yet there are people
who, when ordered to get
SCOTS Emulsion, will accept
some wine, cordial or extract
of cod liver oil and think it is
the same thing or better. If
you want and need cod liver
oil in its best, purest and
most easily digested form, get
SCOTS Emulsion. If you
want whiskey, that's another
matter, but don't look for the
same results.

In the winter cold and drear.

When you've nothing else to do,
Drag the roads;

Webster City, July 13.-John Carl a

annals of Hamilton county, whose
home near the Second street crossing
over the Northwestern tracks was sold
few weeks ago to pay liquor fine,
and who is under indictment for the
alleged Illegal sale Of intoxicating liq-

the officers have been on the lookout
for some time, returned to his old
haunts the other day, and under cover
of darkness dug the few bushels of po-
tatoes he had planted In his garden
last spring. took them to the depot in
a wheelbarrow, and dropped as mys-
teriously from sight as when he enter
ed the city.
Carl was indicted last spring. He
was we'll aware Of the fact that an IN
dictment would be returned. and LETT

hended, going to Minnesota. where he
has a small farm. The officers. how
ever, were satisfied as long as he would
stay out of the state.
But his potatoes were getting ripe,
and anyway the garden truck did not go
with the place at the price paid. So
between two days Carl came back to
the city. AT night when the shadows
began to lengthen and it was compar-
atively safe to be outdoors, bent from

who 1t was and went over. 1t was Carl
himself and to the questions put to-
him replied sharply that he was mere
y digging his potatoes.
Yesterday word reached the county
officers that the old fellow had re-
turned to the city The matter was
kept quiet. the intention being to get
Carl and land him in Jail. Apparently,
however the bird had flown. The po-
tatoes are gone. and likewise Carl.

Ottumwa, July 13.--It looks as IL the
project of the Ottumwa & Southeast

be abandoned for the present. The
committee having the matter OF secur-
ing signatures for a special election to
vote a per cent tax met with so many
discouragements that committee of
business men went to Indianapolis to
interview Charles =. Coffin, the pros
moter of the road, to see If they could
not secure some notifications in the
proposition. 1t was presented to him
that the prospect Of securing il per
cent tax was very remote, and that it
seemed doubtful whether the commit
tee having the matter in charge could
secure the necessary number OF sigma
lures. and even IL they did so it was
probable that a 3 per cent proposition
would be defeated at the polls. They
made the statement that ii would pro-
badly be possible to secure the adop-
ton of a per cent tax. MIR Coffin
gave them no satisfaction, but said he
would take the matter up with the
Chicago parties who had agreed YER
bally to underwrite the securities OF
the proposed line. Later the commit
tee took formal action and notified the
promoters that they would he unable

from the promoters that the negoti-
atoms would be considered off so far
as they Were concerned.
