CARPENTERS STEEL SQUARES
The Inventor a Vermont Blacksmith, Who
Became a Millionaire.

The large steel squares used by carpenters
are such a common tool that perhaps few
know when and where they were first made,
and how they came to be used. or even give
the matter q thought. The making Of them
is great industry now, but when the last
century came in there was not one in use.
The inventor was a poor Vermont blacksmith,
Sias Howes, who lived in South SALISBURY.
One dull, rainy day a peddler Of tinware
called st his shop to have the blacksmith
fasten a shoe on his horse. These peddlers
travelled up and down the country calling at
every farm house, buying everything in the
way OF barter. This one had number Of
WORKOUT steel saws that he had picked up in
various places Howes bartered for them,
shoeing the peddler's horse and receiving the
saws in payment, and each thought he had an
excellent trade.
His idea was TO polish and weld two saws
together at right angles, and thus make 4
rule or measure superior TO anything then in
use After q few attempts he succeeded in
making a square, marked it Off into inches
and fractions Of inches and found that it
answered every purpose that he intended it
iof.
In the course Of few weeks he made quite
number during his spare hours. These he
sent out by the peddlers, who found every

orders coming in faster than he could supply
the demand. One of his steel squares
would sell for So or SO, which was five times
as much as il cost him,
He applied for and obtained patent on his
invention, so that no one else could deprive
him Of the profit it gave him. 1t was just
after the war of 1872 and money was scarce
and difficult to get, But he worked early
and late and as he earned money he bought
iron, and hired men to help him. In a few
years he was able to erect large factory
and put in machinery for the making Of
squares, which by this time had found their
way all over the country and had made their
inventor famous
Such was the small beginning of large
and important industry People came miles
TO sec the wonderful FORCES, the showers Of
sparks flying from beneath the heavy ham.
mers, and listen to the din of the thousand
workmen
Silas Howes lived to be a millionaire and
he did great deal of good with his money,
Squares are still made on the spot where the
first one was made more than ninety-ive
years ago.--The Congregationalist.

Bit of More Than He Could Chew.

Newspaper men win be interested in the
fact that the manifold Ridgway's has been
obliged to confess to at least partial failure
The promoter admits that as first planned
he "bt off more than he could chew The
attempt was to prepare weekly magazine in
New York city in its essential parts and
then to issue it in more than dozen edit
ions in as many cities scattered over the
country. Each of these Ridgways was to be so
localized with home matter as to attract
profitable reading constituency. The venture
has been found unavoidable because of the
impracticability of getting the matter together
and producing the editions in presentabe
shape. Therefore, the scheme has been
modified so that Ridgway's is TO be issued as
a national weekly, with not more than four
separate homes. Whether more than one
edition can be achieved remains to be PROV
ed. That which looked to be workable in
theory proved to be unmanageable in the
test good many of the multiplied Ridg.
ways presented a ragged result, because To-
cal plant had to be established, or the work
farmed out to existing newspapers or print
ing Establishments. Nor did the editors of
the localized editions rise fully equipped to
a difficult task where daily or weekly news,
papers already fill the bill. The newspaper
men thus thrown out of what appeared to be
pleasant and sure job are to be commiserated
The moral is an old one-that few things in
life can escape the slow development which
Nature ordains for her best products. Only
the deep roots which years can give avail in
magazines and newspapers to withstand the
storms which beset them. 1t will now re
main for the reconstructed Ridgways to
make good in the midst of the strenuous
which will surround it.-Spring-
