The regulations of score Of men
who have stood as models are tarrish-

This financial earthquake was start

many others. including Senators Platt
and Depew, all forming cogs Of the
great wheel OF insurance graft.
The policy holders money, 4. was
shown, was commonly diverted to the
use of the companies IN which Equit-
able directors held stock and which, in
turn, unloaded their mortgages on the
Equitable.
Millions of dollars belonging to
Equitable policy holders were deposit
ed in banks controlled by Equitable di-
rectors, only nominal rate of inter-
est being charged in place of much
higher rates gladly offered by indie
pendent banks.

After this the public heard the story
of an appalling nepotism in the Mu-

New Chinese Methods.

Chan Chun Man, head Of Canton
firm employing over ten thousand hands,
has been studying American industries.
In Philadelphia, apropos of the Chinese
awakening, he said: @China has for
thousands of years been highly enough
civilized to despise war. Her newborn
respect for war is not an unmixed good.
There is, perhaps, a little of degenera-
ton, of barbarism, in it. But at least
China will no longer be the laughing
stock of nations more war1ike than her
self. 1t will no longer be possible to say
of her, as a Chinese general once ex-
planned defeat with the following re-
port: The ignorant enemy, unaware
that guns could not be fired against an
object behind them, came upon us from
the rear and thus rendered all our can
non useless"

WiId Geese Killed in Flight.

The southern migration of wild fowl
this winter was unusually late and re-
suited in many disasters. The wild
geese are reported from the northwest
to have been especially severe sufferers.
The large black-headed goose is a
strong, hardy bird, generally remaining
on its own native water until the ice
forms firmly In the South it is only
visitor for the winter months. Born
on some lake beyond the northern wa
tershed, or perhaps on some inlet in
Hudson Bay or the Arctic Ocean, its
heart is ever loyal to the land of its
birth.
Sometimes, when the cold weather
sets ~in late up North, as in all proba-
bility it has this year, the wild geese
suffer from their devotion to their ma
tive place. They may at this late season
fly right into a streak of real winter,
with driving snow to blind their vision
and bitter frost to halt their flight.
If there is storm, their way leads
right through it, until the leaders eyes
are closed by the freezing of the snow
about it's head or it's feathers become
too heavy weighted When the sight
has gone and the birds are wearied, it
is easy to see how misleading is much
of the talk about the 1eadings of an
extra sense. Like a ship without a
rudder, the V-shaped flock will make
for any low places.
Once flock came tumbling into the
street of an Eastern townships village,
where the ha1f-blinded things became
the easy prey of the boys and the dogs.
In another place farmer CHANGED
one spring to find the frozen carcasses
of more than thirty fine geese in a drift
IN one of the fence corners. The birds
had evidently come to earth in some
binding storm, and, imagining they
were nearing water, found instead the
hard, snow-covered ground
There are several instances recorded
Of hocks of geese in storm running
full tilt into the ends or sides of farm
buildings. A large brood flew at full
speed against the rigging of the wha1-
ing steamer Dart this month off the
Newfoundland coast A damp, snow
laden wind was blowing at the time,
and eleven dead or dying geese fut-
tered on to the deck, the others a1ight-
ing IN a half-dead condition upon the
waves
A more pleasing story is of domestic
geese in a large, well-appointed farm
yard hailing with their hearty honks,
short time ago, a passing drove of
twenty-five black bills The strangers
came down and followed their tame re-
lations into the stable, where they have
since stayed.

Re=Using Old Shoes.

Janitors collect the shoes cast away
by tenants and send them to auction
rooms, where they are sorted into piles
marked Men" 'Women," "Chi1dren."
In a recent sale in one of the big
cities, says the "Shoe Retailer" several
poor people made fair bids, but the
auctioneer did not seem eager to sell.
Finally, red-faced man pushed his
way through the crowd and offered 10
cents apiece for the whole lot. His bid
was successful.
81 was killing time with talk waiting
for that fellow said the auctioneer
afterward. "Ie always pays high for
these shoes and he does not want them
for wearing, either He wants to beat
them out for the leather in them. He
gets what material there is, puts it
through a process and makes stamped
frames, bags, pocketbools, penknife
holders, and even chair backs and seats.
He finds ready sale for these novel
ties and gets good price for them"

hills, filling gulches, setting and lamp
ing ties and laying rails. The work
demands that she be a skillful man
ager Of men. She knows man as few
women do-she directs their energies,
gets out Of them the most work pos
sible, pays their wages, employs or dis
charges them. Men, mules, steam
shovels and dynamite are her obedient
agents. Necessarily she is a fnancier,
talks and figures in the hundred thou
sands and the millions as readily as
most men talk Of dollars. In the par
lance of the street she long ago made
her stake and today is accounted the
| richest woman in Michigan and one Of
| the very rich women Of the world.
She has made estimates and carried
! out contracts on some Of the longest
and heaviest pieces of railroad con-
struction in the country. Though her
occupation is strenuous it would do
Mrs. Beacham rank injustice to say
that it has roughened her. There is
a certain set Of determination and firm
ness about her features, but her man
ner is feminine, and SO are her tastes.
| She is such a good judge of men that
she rarely has any trouble with them
and it is not often that an employer
is so genuinely popular with employees
as Mrs. Beacham.
Mrs. Beacham has been making and
executing railroad contracts for TWEEN
| ty years. She has two sons CIaud and
Erwin and her husband, though living
is an invalid
Much Of this remarkable woman's
! work has been done in the southern
| states where railroad building has gone
| forward with Titantic strides in the
| last two decades and where vast
| amount Of building is now under way
On one contract with the Tennessee
| Central railroad, Mrs. Beacham's profit
was $4,000, and it is calculated that
her average annual earnings are about
$4,000. The contract which she is
| now engaged in executing is the con-
| struction Of five miles of railroad from
Kirby Station, Virginia, westward. 1t
IS part of a contract for one hundred
miles of the coal mine to sea rail
road which was secured by Sands and
Oliver Of Richmond. These contrac-
tors sublet short stretch Of the work
to Mrs. Beacham.
At present she is employing only
about one hundred and fifty men but
the proper control of this force and
the purchase of the necessary supplies
calls for the exercise of no little ex-
ecutiVe ability.
