ing pictures, Oriental hangings, rugs
and tapestries for the second house.
1t thus happened that a short time
after the mansion on 9TH avenue was
finished, the key to the second man
sion was turned over to the young
Cincinnati woman. The wife in time
had her eyes opened to the true situa-
ton and naturally Yerkes and his wife
became estranged. Since then Mrs.
Yerkes has been living in solitary
splendor in the 9Th avenue mansion.
From New York Yerkes turned his
attention to London and by develop
ing railway property there added
largely to his millions. In London he
became power and got into society,
the great metropolis either not know
ing or not caring that he had worn
prison stripes in Philadelphia, that he
stood charged of bribery and corrup-
ton in Chicago and that through the
power of his millions he had erased
that part Of the decalogue which was
not to his taste.
A few weeks before his death
Yerkes returned to this country, and
as his wife was in possession Of the
9Th avenue mansion he took up his
abode in a hotel There he was strick-

refusing to see him until toward the

and VINO at the
time was the pastor Of church In
a little village near Boston. He sold
the words and music for $25, and often
said that it was the easiest money that
he ever earned.
While strolling along the beach in
his little village, during the summer
days, Rev. Mr.. Ufford Outlines noticed
an old wreck on the sands and often
wondered in his imagination how the
old boat happened to become wrecked
and stranded, and it called to his mind
the fact that many human beings were
going the same way as did the old
boat.
He held an Open-air meeting on the
village green some time after this and
preached to men about their souls and
called attention to the wreck and Of
fered to throw ont helping hand TO
any who would listen to his appeal
Going home that night, he sat down
and n fifteen minutes penned the
hymn which now has been sung in 81
languages and printed over 5000 600
times.
Rev. Mr.. Ufford penned the lines IN
$3.50, yet to-day the song is as nonu-
lar as when 1t was first sung in the
little Massachusetts village nearly %
years ago.
The author took a trip around the
globe short time ago, and in Japan
China, Ceylon, italy and England
found incidents connected with his
song. In Honolulu he found the words
and music in the Hawaiian tongue.

in the little church and the congrega-
ton then sang back to him In their
language.

odore L. Cuyler had the song sung in
his church, for he declared it had in it
more electricity than any other hymn
he ever knew.

1t reads: For the Purpose of get

The document tells in an interesting
but brief way the story of how, be-

BIG TRACTION KING.
YERKEs' ACTIVITIES EXTENDED
TO TWO CONTINENTS.
Death OF Charles Tyson Yerlxes Re-
moved a Great Power from the
Financial World - Once Wore
Prison Stripes.

Few men have had more remark
Yerkes, who died recently in New
York hotel. Amassing a great fortune
before he was 30 he became bankrupt
in e single day. He was indicted and
convicted for embezzlement and lar
ceny and served a term in prison.
This was in Philadelphia. Notwith-
standing this, he became a still great
er power in the financial world, his
activities extending from the far west
to Chicago. New York and London.
And yet outside his financial successes
his life was a failure. Divorced from
his first wife, who had chung to him
In the days of his adversely, he mar
ried a second, from whom, too, he was
estranged for year before his death.
HIS solicitude for third woman had
killed his love for his second wife, just
as his affection for the second had
caused him to discard his first. And
a stones throw from the palatial
home he had erected in New York,
and in which his second wife at the
time was living. Financially, the
world may regard the career of Yerkes
as a success, but no man who knows
the spirit of Christianity and believes
in it could hold it up to his child as
an example to be followed
Failure Leads TO Prison.
Mr.. Yerkes was born in Philadel-
phia, in 1887, of Quaker parentage,
and began his business career as a
clerk in a grain merchants office and
without any salary. In 1889 he began
business on his own account. An I'M
Gle had left him some money and
backed by the influence Of his father,
who was a bank president, he started
in to dc banking and stock broking.
He was on the high road to success
when the blow fell which blotted his
entire career. Through failure caused
by panicky markets after the Chicago
fire, Mr.. Yerkes had to make an as
signment He had millions of Phila-
delphia municipal securities to ac-
count for, was unable so to do, was
indicted, tried on charges of embez-
Element and larceny, convicted. SEN

The letter of resignation does not give
his reasons. The university officials say
that the resignation was not due to any
action taken by them.
When Poultney Bigelow appeared be-
fore the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals and was asked to tell who
gave him the information on which he
based his charges on canal mismanage-
ment in the recent magazine article, he
persistently refused to divulge the names
of his informants, whom he said had
talked to him in confidence. He admit
ted, however, that he had been at Colon
only twenty-eight hours, as Secretary
Taft had said. A majority of the COM
mittee was in favor of applying the pen
atty for Bigelow's refusing to answer

ART OF TRUNK PACKING.
With Some Examples of the Same
Set Forth by Mr.. Gumtree.


Every now and then" said Mr..
Gumtree, II read piece in the papers
about the art Of trunk packing; old,
experienced men who have travelled
much telling how to avoid carrying I'M
necessary stuff and how to stow the
things that they do carry to the best
advantage; all sound advice and use
full, no doubt, to the Immature, but l
improve on all these professors ana
have no trouble about packing at all
1 suppose because I've got a wife.
MY business takes me away occa-
sionally on trips that last three, four
or FIVE weeks at time, and when am
about to start on one of these trips
Mrs. Gumtree packs my trunk.
Mrs. Gumtree, without question, Is
the greatest trunk packer that ever
lived, bar none, and l don't doubt that
she holds the same belief, for when she
has got all through packing she always
tells me that she doesn't believe l will
ever be able to get the stuff back into
the trunk again when l come home.
But she is the star packer, sure
enough. She puts in not only every
thing want, but everything ought to
have, adding to both, in quantity, a
certain percentage for emergency, so
that nothing ever goes wrong or falls
short. And when it's all packed she
| goes over it all to me in detail and
tells me where I'll find everything.
And 1 do find everything all right.
| 1t has never failed, and In due time
when have got through with my
| business and get ready to come home,
l do my own little stunt Of packing for
the homeward trip, getting into that
| trunk the stuff that Mrs. Guntree
thought l never could, but which I
never fail to do.
Cant ever get that stuff back into
the trunk? Why, it's easy, it's a cinch
and as 1 pounce on the lid for the last
time and finally get the lock to connect
and buckle the strap around ii, 1 smile
at Mrs. Gumtree, at the other end of
the line, and say to myself as l sur
vey the trunk, Yes, yes, 1 guess we
know a little something about trunk
packing ourselves But:
when come to get home and Mrs.
Gumtree lifts the lid of that trunk and
looks at the solidified chaos within:
Frederick Gumtree. she always
says to me, if you ever come back
with trunk packed like this again
I'll get divorce
But she never has yet she still
packs my trunk, outward bound, with
just the same comprehensiveness,o order
and trimness, and as long as l can re-
member how to do the grand consoli-
dated compress act for the return trip

was brought by the admiring husband
to his wife's home in Lawrence Park,
Bronxville. She was entertained there,
and she gave sugges ons toward the

While this house was being built,

Knowledge of Food Values Neces-
sary When Preparing Menu.
For the cook who wishes to substi-
tute vegetables for meat, knowledge
of food values Is imperative, says Har-
per's Bazaar. Some vegetables are per-
feet substitutes for meat. You might
grow strong and vigorous on them,
while If you made a wrong choice
your family would slowly starve to
death. All the grains, such as whole
wheat, rice, barley, oats, corn, are per-
feet substitutes for meat. They have
the same nutritive value without the
wastes of animal flesh. Nuts, cheese,
peas, beans, lentils, raisins, figs, ba.
nanas, are meat foods. Tomatoes,
onions, celery, asparagus, carrots,
beets, spinach, apples, are valuable
and important articles of diet, but II
you attempted to make them the basis

nervous people. They may be served
in a variety of ways, together or sep
