OUR PRIZES

We have changed somewhat
our prize offer, for last Wednes-
day, We now propose to extend
the time of the contest, and add
several more costly prizes to those
already offered. We will give
these prizes on Christmas Day to
those scoring highest in our
Trade Contest" as outlined in
our last two issues. Begin at
once to file your duplicate bills
for every penny you buy from
now until Christmas, and be sure
you buy from advertisers in
these columns We will get per-
haps a small return for our out
lay in increased advertising pa
tronage but this is not our main
motive in making this offer. We
want to encourage our readers to
trade at home, with home merch-
ants, and keep our money at
home, to benefit home people and
to put life into home industry.
You do not have to spend a cent
with the Democrat. in order to
win these valuable prizes. You
don't need to spend a cent any
where, that you would not spend
anyway. All you have to do, is
to spend what you do spend, with
those live, up-to-date business
men, who want your trade bad
enough to ask for it, and have
such excellent bargains to offer
that they can afford to proclaim
it through advertising. 1t is
fact we'll established in the BUSH
ness world, that you can always
get the best bargains from the
advertiser. We are trying to
teach the buying public the truth,
that their interest lies in trading
with the HOME advertiser"
For this reason we give you
freely, without a penny of cost
to you, many valuable prizes if
you will only spend what you
have to spend with the HOME
advertiser" This Trade Con-
test" is campaign of education
and the Democrat is footing the
bills. 1t don't cost anybody else
one cent. We hope to educate
our merchants also in the wisdom
of judicious advertising, for it is
by this means alone that they can
meet the Mail Order Man" on
his own ground and vanquish
him. Every time customer
buys tooth-picks, shoe-strings or
tacks, and calls for a duplicate
bill to present at this Office, he is
impressing on the mind of his
dealer, the momentous fact of
this twentieth century, that
ADVERTISING pays" We,
therefore earnestly ask every
reader and friend to help us in
this campaign of education BY
never failing to call for your du-
plicate bill no matter whether it
be for one cent, or one hundred
dollars.

Our writers on Compulsory
Education" are taking very
prompt and gratifying interest
in the discussion offered them in
these columns. Rambler" who
started the "sputin" has a very
we'll expressed article in this
issue, and one that shows, that
the advocates of this law will
have to get down to business, if
they\. succeed in overthrowing
this doughty champion of anti
compulsion." Let the battle
rage. No harm can come from a
free and fair discussion of the
peoples problems. We are going
to take a vote of our readers on
this question later on, so if you
expect to win for your side, which
ever it may be, you had better be
prompt in putting toward the
best reasons for the faith that is
in you"

The course of reading has been
changed, the pupils were tired Of the
old readers and anxious to exchange
them for new reading matter. The FIVE
cent classics were introduced AMI RAJ
with avidity, and now more are wanted.
A wonderful improvement in reading
is the result, for children, like adults,
grow tired of reading and hearing real
the same matter year after year. Much
of the poor reading in our rural schools
is due to the failure to introduce fresh
and interesting reading matter Good
newspapers are valuable help in this.

hatred directed against him during his
lie than against any other man with
a fortune anyway near as large as the
Fleid fortune. In him the claim that
no man can accumulate many millions
honestly Is refuted. In the public
MIND he did not represent the type
ina climbs up by pushing others down.
The Beginning.
Away back In the sos, MARSHALL
fleld began his mercantile career in
chicago as a clerk in the employ Of
j. V. Farwell. Working for the same
firm at the time was another young
man, Levi z. Letter, who later became
Marshall Fields associate in business.
Referring to those early years, Mr..
Farwell says:
Levi z. Letter and Marshall Field
were both clerks Of ours. When the
war broke out we took them in as part
ners In the store and lent them money.
The business conditions of the country
at that time were something unexam-
pied before or since. The war changed
the prices of everything. Goods were
up and money was down. Consequent

a finger on his part take all the in
centive out of life and make him
careless of the possibilities of life
and the opportunities which are his?
Will he be content to accept the in
evitable and settle back comfortably
in the downy berth which fate has de-
creed him; or will he as he develops
into manhood become conscious of
the great responsibilities resting upon
him and let them call out in him
those qualities which made his grand
father so eminently successful in
the business world and so esteemed as
q citizen?

We ask these questions, and turn
instinctively to the boy as he is to-day

the boy is father of the man, and the

at Leadville, Col. A p~rospector / :
duced Marshall Field and three ot-t r
men to buy a gold mine. Big "strikd "
were being made daily, and enoush
work had been done in the camp to
demonstrate to even conservative busi-
ness lei that the district was rich In
mineral. The original Investment made
by Mr.. Field and his associates was
small, $2,590 each. The owner had
submitted ore samples of great rich
ness, and the prospect was promising.
1t did not take the buyers long to dis
cover, however, that they had bought
a pig in a poke" or, in the ~parlance
Of the mines, a sailed claim.
They found that the samples OF ore
taken from the workings of their mine
had been placed there by the uncul-
tured but not unsophisticated west
who had secured them from a
real gold mine. AS a result Of this dis
there were four very much
chagrined gentlemen, not because the
loss had been so great, for

+ Envied by His Companions.
Most of the small boys in Lakewood
envy young Master Field, because they
only see him when he goes driving or
riding on his little gray pony, or
when he goes walking down the long
wooded street with his fine dog. But
how these boys would grumble if they
had to work as Master Field works
between times.
Young Marshall Field is a well-built
little chap, having inherited from his
father and grandfather the broad
shoulders and erect carriage of the
Fields.
At present he dresses in deep
mourning. He is gentle, unaffected
and frank in manner, like dozens of
other boys you have met, and he likes
pretty much the same things, such as
tops and kites and marbles and guns,
and all sorts of boyish sports.
The Field cottage in Lakewood is a
large, rambling structure of brick and
white stucco built in the colonial
fashion.
On the upper floor in a secluded
room, with a tutor from the Uriversi-
ty of Chicago, Master Field undergoes
daily a hard siege of study to fit him

Chicago.-Heir to tnree-ifths Of q

princes the world has ever known,

tile enterprises extending from this

misfortune which has befallen Mar
shall Field the third through the I'M
timely and sudden death OF Marshall
Field, the founder of the great dry
goods houses bearing his name.
BY the terms of the will disposing
OF an estate estimated at from $780,
000,0 0 to $4,000, 600 he is to have
three-ifths of the ~residuary estate,
which is to be held in trust for him
would make his share worth at the
present time from $500 900 to $780,
O00,0 00. And by the terms of the
same will his brother, Henry Field,
two years his junior, receives the bal
ance of the residuary estate, or two
ffths, and will of course share with
him the responsibilities Of the estate
in the years to come.
But it is Marshall Field the third
upon whom the attention Of the pub
lie is conferred. for he is the head of
the Field house now. There is some
thing startling and almost pathetic
In the contemplation Of a 1~2-year-old
boy being called upon to face such
a future. Perhaps there are many
who would lightly declare that they
would like the opportunity which has
come to this little fellow, but there
is room for argument here as to
whether he is after all not entitled
more to pity than congratulation.

Body Turns Over in Coffin,

B~ellingham, Wash.-Relatives and
friends of Miss Hastings, a Belling-
ham high school student, who died a
few days ago on Orcas island, were
Mortified when, on opening the casket
containing The remains, they found the
body had turned over. A close exam
ination revealed a faint flush in the
cheeks indicating life. The relatives
refused to allow the services to con.
tinue and an urgent message was sert
for a doctor, 20 miles distant. Sur
rounded by the mourners the body lay
for hours before the physician arrived.
All efforts to resuscitate the corpse
failed, and it was buried.

even though he lived he would be a
cripple for life. But the skill Of the
doctor and the careful nursing and
the air at Lakewood have triumphed
over his infirmities, and he gives
promise now Of developing into a stall
Wart manhood.
At the age of this boy the grand
father was blowing and reaping and
toiling on a farm, and planning in
his mind how to win the fortune
which he subsequently acquired.
And now without the preliminaries
of blowing and reaping and planning.
and without manual labor of any
kind, Marshall Field the third will

Almost everybody in Lakewood
knows the Field boy by sight; but
very few of them know how thor

He must know how to handle those

ly, anyone who had a stock of goods or
hand was practically certain to sell
them at an advance over what he had
paid for them. The results Of the bust
ness done during the Val were some
thing phenomenal. At that time the
money Of Illinois and all money was SO
far down in value that you couldn't buy
a dinner with Illinois money across the
state line. So it was that the man who
bought the most goods under such con-
ditiOns made the most money. Potter

man in Chicago at that time in proper

Messrs. Letter and Field made in part
nership with our firm made the two

the close of the war;"
When asked which of the three men
-Messrs. Field, Letter and Palmer-he
considered the ablest business man, Mr..
Farwell replied:
Il believe the ablest business man is
the man who stays'the longest in bust
ness and who has made the greatest
success of it. Mr.. Field was at the top
Of his business career and active on
the day ac died, and ] think that an
swers the question.
"Mr. Letters particular forte in the
management of the firms business was
in handling the finances.
MI. Fields Strong Faculty.
Zone thing which contributed largely
to the success of Mr.. Field was his par
ticular faculty and success in choosing
his under managers. He was always
particularly fortunate in the men who
were associated with him, and this is
shown by the number of men who have
from the firm wealthy. He in
the management of the store
the heads Of departments largely,
but he always remained the supreme
head to see that everything was run
with the minimum of friction. He al
ways put the right man in the right
place, and every n in the employ of
the store knew that he would receive
exact justice in his dealings with the
head of the firm.
"This is of the greatest elements
which make for the success of a bust
ness man. When I started in business,
| had practically to run the depart
ments myself. In Mr.. Fields establish
ment you never found anyone fighting
him. He knew all his old employees
and always recognized them when lie
met them.

business men Mr.. Field did not possess

Diloge, 80 miles west CT st. Louis. The
traln carried no passengers, but had
on beard 20 mail clerks. Five men were
hurt. two dangerously. Two of the six
mall cars were burned, with mail; two
others were demolished, and the total
destruction of the train by fire was
prevented by a bucket brigade organ
lied by farmers and residents of the
n~eiehtoring towns of Gasconade, Her
mann and Morrison. The wreck was
caused by spreading rails at the ap-
preach OF the bridge.
The engine jumped the track on the
east approach of the bridge. and ran
part of the way across the ties. The
two forward mail cars fell against the
abuttment Of the bridge and caught
fire, and the two rear cars rolled down
an ~embankment, and were demolished.
The following are the injured:

The woodwork Of the bridge caught
fire, and burned until there was no
more material to feed on.
Passengers will te ferried across the
river in boats, and connections made.
The tracks for 600 feet east of the
bridge were torn and twisted, and the
ties so torn that it will be impossible
to put trains over the track for at
least 4S hours. Passenger train No. 8,

at Gasconade, took the injured men in
charge. They were placed in the bag

to leave the track 500 feet east of the
