SOAP AND LOVE MAKING.

Douglas Fairbanks of New York city, makes soap
during the day and at night makes love the stage
And thereby hangs the tale:
Fairbanks has leading part in ''The Man of the
Hour at the Savoy teaer Years ago he the play
mate, in Denver, of Miss Beth Suy. When these two
met again in New York they fell violently in love with
each other But
There the stern father
Stern fathers who milIionares do not, rule
look with much favor actor sons-in-law.
Nevertheless Fairbanks made his avowa to SulIy and
asked to marry Beth.
The millionaire rather liked the young man. way
He listened and thought Among his other property
big soap factory that needed attention He thought to
try the mete of this matinee idol And he offered
Fairbanks chance to learn the soap business. If he
should make good the business he would be general
manager of the property and get the girl to boot.
And this young American with red blood in his VEINS
jumped at the offer
He went to the theater manager who had him bound
in contract for five years and told his story. The man
ager agreed to release him only at the end of this years
season.
And Fairbanks now gets up early in the morning
dons his overas and tends to the tubs at the soap factory
He is learning the business from the ground up After
supper he evening dress and becomes the stage
lover.
The wedding will take place in June
The story typical one such a as no European
could understand
In Europe follow the business of their father $
generation after generation. They cannot adapt them
selves to new pursuits In America every young man is
opportunist and turns his hand to whatever offers
If one succeed in acting why not in soap boiling
The reasoning may not be pat but the thing works-in
America.
And when you add to the soap business the winning Of
the girl you love

A RIGHTED WRONG.

Vail was hesitating between hon
or and dishonor, and he knew it.
For years he had eked out a
scanty living by writing. One day,
going up Royal ST., a package had
fallen at his feet, and he looked up
only in time to see man jumping
into an auto, which pulled rapidly
away. 1t was a package of manu-
script, a novel, called The IScape-
goat" and no sooner had Vail read
it than he knew that fortune was
in his hands. Scarcely had he fin
ished the first reading when he saw
in the papers of the death of one
Godfrey Riviere, a stranger, identl-
fed only by the letters in his peck
et-and Godfrey Riviere was the
name on the manuscript in his
hand.
What chance!
1t meant fortune. Besides, there
was no one to whom he could re-
turn the manuscript. True, he
could not publish his own name as
it's author, but it could be publish
ed anonymously. The money would
come in just the same.
He sighed, but three weeks later
arrangements were complete for
the publican of "The Scapegoat,"
which had been enthusiastically ac-
cepted by famous firm. Then the
press began to be filled with specu'
lations. Who was this unknown
author? What a magnificent story
it was. Would not the gifted writ
er permit himself to be known? Al
first it was painful, by degrees he
became accustomed to it.
Ten days after the publication OF
the first edition, and while the rec

RAILWAY MILEAGE AND EARNINGS.

Poors Manual for 1907, just issued,
is instructive on the point of the rea-
sonabeness OF average American rail-
way rates. The completed mileage at
the beginning of 1907 was 222.635 miles,
an increase of 1924 miles over the pre-.
vious year. The average receipts per
passenger carried were 2,011 cents
mile, against 2.02S the year before-an
appreciable decrease. The average
freight revenue per ton per mile was
1866 thousandths of cent, as against
interest rate on railway bonds in 1906
was S.99 per cent and the average divi-
dend on all stock was 1853 per cent.
The total liabilities of all railways in
the United States were $11534,SS1.6SS.
Of which s7s51,1O7,77s was bonds and

pRospeR,TY..rleHr MoNEY..REAcTIoN.

Money has been tight in the east all
summer and is getting tighter every
where. Prosperity has given every con-
cern so much to do that it needed to
borrow more money and when every
body went after loans the demand ex-
ceeded the supply Of loanable funds.
Then the big firms in the east offered
to sell their notes in the west. They
began at five per cent. then five and
half. finally they were willing to pay
six and three quarters per cent inter-
est This bids up the rate in the west
and every dollars worth of this paper
bought by western banks ties up that
much Of the loanable funds of the
western country. Business has been so
tremendous that there are not loanable
monies enough to handle it, The result
is curtailment.
4 We have reached a high point. A re-
action in business is both healthful and
inevitable. The grain markets already
tell US of a short crop. There will not
be so much wealth produced from the
land this year and hence not SO much
business for the men and railroads who
handle the crops. The men who can't
increase their borrowing will have to
decrease their business which means to
employ less men. This all produces re-
action.
1t is well. We can't go up hill with
prices forever We would soon arrive
at attitudes in which we could not live.
Having gone UP hill for a time we
ought to be glad Of the opportunity to
coast down hill for awhile, This does
not mean a leap into some chasm of
panic and hard times but it means a
decHnefto less business, lower prices
and sier money. Men everywhere
who employ labor will welcome less
business, an easier labor market and
more stability to costs than the past
three years have given. Let's have the
reaction. We can't drive on the dead
run all Of the way.

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.
(Sioux City Journal.)
There can be no doubt about it. The
cause of temperance is making prog
resS
In some respects the southern states
are taking the lead, and this means
the liberation of certain amount Of
constraint in politics. The south is
taking radical means to suppress the
saloon. Where states are not adopt
ing prohibitory laws, communities are
enforcing prohibition. The south is
doing this as a means of protection
from ignorance and viciousness. 1t is
one of the results Of the abolition Of
slavery. 1t is incident to the struggle
that is being made to settle the race
question. 1t is too often the case that
the southern negro does not know
when he has had enough, and it is
undoubtedly true that when he has
had too much he is social menace.
This theory is spreading in the south,
and no doubt it is overlapping the
white race. Whether a man be black
or white, in the company of low
standard of intelligence and morals he
is likely to do great harm in associa-
ton with a stomach full Of liquor.
The temperance movement is calcu-
lated to protect society, and if this is
not the argument in support of it,
there is just ground for pronouncing
it fanatical.
The most powerful aid to the tenn
perance cause, which is at work in
every section of the country, is bust
ness. Business does not confess that
it is concerned over the morals of
men. 1t does not appear in tears owe.
the wretched affections of women and
children. 1t does not even stop to
consider the enormous expense to the
revenues caused by the flood of drink
over innumerable bars, What bust
ness is up to is to protect itself. A
drunken man Is not safe or profitable.
Under modern methods he is al par
ticular hazard. The carrier companies
say that men who drink are not
wanted The travelling public, what
ever may be going on in the buffet
car are particular that the trainnen
keep sober. There are wrecks enough
under the best conditions. There
must be a man with a clear head at
the throttle. The conductor must be
