a faint squeal from Jack, for his pig

leaves. When Sophie chose one par
ticular plant and bent down to ex-
anime it, there was loud squeal from
Jack. to indicate that she was near
the object of her search. The next
moment Sophie lifted up the protecting
leaf and with a cry of delight pulled
out the pig. which she returned to
farmer Jack The hunt continued,
and all the children clapped or squeal-

she was getting warm"
At last all the pigs were found. and
we decided that Jack should be allow

pig had been the first one found. Each
child had his or her turn, the squealing

happy little farmers were summoned

by the time the first runner was finish
ed decided they would rather have a
wagon. When one wheel was sawed
out, they would conclude to make rab-
hours for just the right kind of hOl-

go skating. You know what kind Of
men such boys make?''
We smiled and said we thought we
did
You ought to- said the master;
you have seen plenty of them. When
a boy of that kind grows up he will
rent a farm, and by the time the crop
is half made. trade it for a span of
mules, sell the mules, and put up
little grocery store. The grocery store
fails. and he decides to be a carpenter.
He gets secondhand set of tools.
and when he gets job, quits it so
often he is discharged. Then he bor-
rows money of his wife's father to
start dray, and the first time he
gets a good job of hauling. goes off

They just threw them in, you know,
so they had to swim.
IF you want to succeed, you must
make yourself finish what you under
take. No matter how hard it is, no
else looks, do what you have started to
do.
'Get that habit, boys, and success
is half won. 1t is very tempting to try
to do half-dozen things without
finishing any of them, but that is the
road to failure. Center your mind on

other have menaced her with personal
violence.
She owns the churches, the hospitals,
the hotels. the art and science 1nstl-
tutiOns and the museums at Essen,
where she is commonly known as
Queen Krupp." Her estate and pow
er, as well as her income, go on in
creasing from year to year.
THE reserve fund of the Essen
works, according to "a balance sheet
recently published. amounts to nearly
S1OO. 900 900. and Miss Krupp's net
income from the Essen business last
year exceeded 5000, 900. This amount,
added to other supplementary reve-
nues, brings up her total income ap-
prOximately to $4,000, 900. Miss
Krupp's great grandfather was an
humble village blacksmith, and her
grandfath started life in the same
capacity.
Knowing human nature, it is hardly
surprising to find that the employees
of Miss Krupp do not appreciate her
good qualities and charitable ways.
The lack of personal freedom jars on
them. They admit that the Krupp
Works are conducted on humanitarian
lines, but they declare that it is all too
grandmOtherly to suit their tastes.
Great care has been taken to pre-
vent Miss Krupp from becoming spoil
ed by the possession of vast wealth.
She has been trained to lead a simple,
| natural life i'm the old home at Essen.
She is a fearless rider, keen tennis
player and an enthusiastic participant
in every outdoor pastime- She rows,
! skates and plays golf or hockey with
| equal facility. She has mixed very
little in fashionable society. and so far
from indulging in luxury in dress, her
costumes are always conspicuous for
their extreme simplicity.
| She is fair and rather pretty than
otherwise: somewhat below medium
height and reveals a tendency toward
rOtundity.

A Pig Party for Children.

so interesting IA game as the above
ramed. and offer it for the use of
those wishing to entertain children
parties this summer. The writer in
Ladies' World says:
The invitatiOns-Small pieces of

children to play farmer" on the lawn
from three to five O'Clock.
The appointed day arrived and the
little people came, bubbling over with
curiosity to know what was going to
happen. When all had been comfort
ably seated in circle Oh the grass
under the trees, each child was given
a little pink paper-pig, with his or her
name written upon it. Sophie was
then told to go to the farthest end of
the lawn and ''hide her eyes," which
she proceeded to do.
This was the signal for the children
to leave their places and hide their
pigs. which they did, some in the tall
grass and others in the crannieS of the
rockery. What a scramble there was!
At last all the imprOvised pigs were

A Successful Woman.

Speaking on those subjects calls forth
an example of just such a woman in
the person of Miss Bertha Krupp, of
Germany. The Metropolis contains
a pen picture of her, that is worthy
. of reproduction for our Household
readers. 1t says:
Miss Krupp is sole prOprietess of the
Krupp Works, and, indeed, of the
town of Essen. with its 25OOO0 in
habitants.
The Krupp Works employ upward
of 40, 900 men. and contain about $500
steam engines, 1,5OO furnaces, 800
steam cranes. 200 steam hammers and
several dozen Bessemer cOnverters.
Apart from the bewildering maze of
iron and steel works at Essen. Miss
Bertha Krupp owns 547 iron mines
situated in different countries, three
coal mines and numerous quarries.
The factories and the whole town of
Essen are lighted by gas and electricity
works belonging to the Krupp firm.
The Krupp Works contain within
/ their boundaries more than 30 miles
of railways. 100 miles of telegraph
wires and 300 miles of telephone wires.

of her kingdom. for the 10000 work

total of 300. 900 persons in her kingdom.
Besides her factories, mines, rail
ways. telegraphs and telephones, Miss
Bertha Krupp also owns her own
bakeries, slaughter houses and general
stores, which supply her employees
with the necessities of life at remark
ably cheap rates. With few excep-

FORFE|TS LIFE BY
CARELESSNESS.

OAKLAND, Oct. 21-william Ran
kin. plumber. residing with his father
at 1853 Grove street. met tragic death
this afternoon, being instantly killed
by a shot from his own gun as he was
about to return home from a hunting
trip in the Contra Costa hills. Rankin.
in company with F. S. Bettencourt, had
spent the day in search of game, and
the fatal accident occurred on the Wild
cat Canyon road as they were about to
start for Oakland.
The victim of the accident had
climbed into the cart and was holding
his gun, from which he had careless1y
neglected to withdraw the cartridges,
between his knees. Bettencourt went
to unite the horse, and the animal sud-
denly started back. AS he did so Bet
tencourt was startled by the report of
his companions gun, and he turned just
in time to see Rankin pitch from the
cart with blood gushing from a ghast-
ly wound in his throat. The sudden
movement of the horse had jerked the
gun from Rankin's grasp. and as it.
fell from the cart 1t exploded, the en-
tire charge of shot striking Rankin in
the throat just below the chin.
Bettencourt lifted his companion into
the cart and drove as fast as the horse
could run into Oakland. On the. way
he asked a passing stranger to- steie-
phone the news of the accident to the
family of his unfortunate companion,
and when he reached Thirtfeth street
he was met by a brother of the de-
ceased with physician. An exam
ination, however, showed that Rankin
had been instantly killed. The body
was removed at once to a local under
taking parlor and the Coroner notified.
Rankin was % years of age and for
some time had been engaged in the
plumbing business with his father at
313 San Pablo avenue. Besides his
father he leaves his mother and two
brothers. James F. and w Rankin, all
of whom reside in this city.
