Gorgeous Birds on Postal Cards.

Gorgeous Birds on Postal Cards.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth has been
sending to her older chums beautiful
postal cards showing birds in gorgeous
natural plumage, says the New York
Press. Such feathered souvenirs are
enjoying vogue. The birds from Ha-
vail and the southwest are exquisite
in coloring, and couple Of dozen of
them mounted on cards make strik-
Ing screen. Mrs. Longworth has al
most 200 specimens, and she has been
generous in dividing her spoils. The
fad will not come under the ban of
the Audubon society, for the getting
Of the feathers entails no danger to
the songsters. The pictured birds are
much smaller than the real ones and
are made up of feathers obtained from
fowls and colored skillfully.

believed to be an ofeshoot Of the
Standard, though nobody could prove
1t. AS matter Of fact, the Acme was
capitalized and controlled entirely by
Standard men, its stockholders being,
In addition to Mr.. Archbold, William.
Rockefeller, w. G. Worden, r. @.
Barstow and Charles Pratt. It was ev-
ident at once that the Acme had come
into the oil regions for the purpose Of
absorbing the Independent interests, as
Mr.. Rockefeller and his colleagues
were absorbing them elsewhere.
John d. Archbold has been absorb
ing the independent interests ever
since and largely on the sly, as in the
Acme instance. When the original oil
trust was formed in 1882 he became
one of the nine trustees Of the concern.
Later he became vice president and,
as we have said the practical working
head Of the business. Archbold seems
to have made a speciality of the trans
portation end, the pipe line side Of the
serpentine monopoly, but he knows the
whole oil business from A to lizard.
When Attorney General Hadley fired
pertinent questions at him, requiring
answers in figures, Mr.. Archbold quot
ed statistics without referring to rec
ords. All were contained within that
remarkable head Of his.

Mrs. Cassie NJ. Chadwick, who died

Of more money than they have been
swindled out Of In this country since
the days of the Mississippi bubble. At
least three banks failed through the

them. Not fewer than a dozen we'll
estab lished business houses went to
the wall on her account. The suicide
OF more than one man and the impov-
erishment of probably hundreds Of
families may be laid at her door.
a remarkable feature of Mrs. Chad
wick was her dread of red headed per-
sons. She rang up an employment
agency In Cleveland one day and asked
them to send around maid to her
apartment. The maid arrived, and be-
cause her hair was red she was told
her services were not wanted. The
agency was appealed to, and another
girl was sent around. Mrs. Chadwick
noticed that this girl also had large
mass Of Titan hair.
go away; get out Of my sight," Mrs.
Chadwick screamed ut her. "Go back
to the agency and tell the manager not
to send any more red headed girls. 1
won't have them around"
Another favorite habit of hers was to
order three cabs at once. She said she
would ride only behind bay horses,
and; fearful that black horse or gray
one might be sent if she ordered one
cab, she had three sent around In
order to have her pick.
Mrs. Chadwick was eccentric when
it came to shopping, but she bought
and bought so literally that every last
one of the clerks was only too glad
to wait on her. If she was buying
dress goods and velvets-and the fin
est kind of imported goods were her
particular choice-she would say
Never mind measuring it; send the
whole piece" Sometimes part of the
piece would be returned, but more of.
ten the whole of it would be kept
What she did with all the stuff she
bought was a mystery.
Florists tell how Mrs Chadwick
would pick up little child on the
street and lavish flowers Of the most
costly kind on the youngster. Often
they say, children would go out on the
street laden with the costiIest Of roses
orchids, yiolets or whatever flower
happened to be in season at the time
Just before Christmas several years
ago Mrs. Chadwick walked into s
! Cleveland toy store and pulled out g

officials, was two yards long. Nothing

that Christmas by the benevolence Of
an unknown person, as Mrs. Chadwick
expressly stipulated in buying thu
goods that the recipients must no

lose for the time being that fine sense
Of humOr with which he is accredited
by those who know him best. Arch
bold is small man with large head.
His height is about five feet three
inches, but his head is big enough for
a seven footer. That Uranium fairly
bulges with bumps Of aggressiveness,
secretiveness, bulldog tenacity and
other elements highly useful in Stand
ard Oil methods, wherefore it came
about that when Archbold was on the
witness stand the newspaper cartoon
lists sketched him with these phreno-
logical bumps properly accentuated
according to. cartooning traditions.
The Archbold head is spherical, save
a jolly good fellow as such things are
considered. 1t Is the head Of a man
who laughs heartily and cracks joke
betimes, and those things this John D..
does upon occasion.
But John D. could not stand the car
toons. Once he leaped from the wit
ness chair and snatched a pencil from
q cartoonist's fingers. He requested
the protection Of the commissioner on
the bench, and that parsonage smiling
ly excluded the cartoonist.
"You newspaper chaps are all right .
remarked Mr.. Archbold to the report
'ers, "but the artists are Infamous
At another time John D. lost his
temper and made remarks white hot
with epithets. That was when Attor-
ney General Monnett Of Ohio had him
In the tolls. An attorney for the other
side put some peppery questions.
Archbold grew palpably angry. The
lawyer remarked that Mr.. Archbold
looked in fighting trim, to which the
witness responded instantly:
I'm in trim, you dog, you miserable
whelp, you dirty liar!'
Nevertheless John D. is good natured.
Otherwise he could not have laughed
himself into great fortune. His
smile is roseate aurora of good
cheer. When he laughs you wonder
how such big laugh can emerge from
such small larynx.

Then the world learned that for at
least ten years John D. Rockefeller
had been merely a fgurehead in
Standard Oil, John D. the second hav-
ing succeeded to the throne.
John Dustin Archbold is Of Scotch
ancestry, born about sixty years ago
in Steubenville, O. His parents took
him as a small boy to Titusyille, Pa,
where John D. went to school more or
less and then clerked in a country
store until the Pennsylvania oil fields
grew up all around him and he found
his calling. The young man, like many
others of that period, saved every dol
lar he could and invested it in oil
properties. By the time he was TWEEN
ty-four he had become considerable
local figure in oil around Titusville
Archbold's first appearance in Oil
history is thus recorded by Miss Tar
bell, who wrote the history of Stand
ard Oil:
in the early fall Of 1875 there ap-
peared John d. Archbold, an energetic
young reiner and oil buyer well
known in Titusyille as the representa-

Words of Appreciation.

The 63rd Annual Fair of the Addison
County Agricultural Society is a matter
of record, but it seems opportune to note
briefly some of the causes that made it
successful.
| would first mention the excellent
feeling and cooperation that prevails
with the directors and superintendents
without which the present attainments
could not have been accomplished. ]
would then note the hearty support of
the society and people at large. 1t is a
difficult matter to govern all to the
satisfaction of the populace, but in the
main | am confident that the best spirit
was the ruling force.
The officers alone cannot make Fair
but officers and people can.
l appreciate the interest displayed by
the ladies, the farmers and the merchant
man; and only wish every one could
receive a premium. l cannot refrain

accorded to all the department superin-
tendents for their earnestness and CO.

in the northern part of Barnes county,
about eighteen miles from Valley City,
which resulted in the instant killing
Of Elmer Lewis, a farm hand, by his
employer, George N. Mcclure, at the
farm Of G. M. Padgett. 1t is alleged

innate with his wife and that the mat
ter eliminated in a violent quarrel in
which Lewis was discharged. After
being driven from the farm Lewis
went to the farm Of Mr.. Padgett and
staid over night. The next morning
Mcclure took Lewis trunk and other
belongings, including a rifle, over to
the Padgett farm. The quarrel be-
tween the two men was renewed and
resulted in Mcclure shooting and kill
ing Lewis with his own rifle. After
the shooting Mcclure went to Dazey
and gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff
Oppegard. Mcclure came to Barnes
county from Illinois some eighteen
months ago and has been a tenant on
the farm of William Reid of Valley
City, who speaks very highly Of him
as an honest, Industrious and sober
farmer. Lewis worked for him last
summer and was hired again this sum-

The storm struck the northern por-
ton of the town and most of the
houses destroyed were country cot
tages. In the town the German Lu-
theran church was badly damaged, the
steeple being blown down and the roof
blown off. The church bell was hurled
through the large pipe organ below.
On the north side Of the church the
parochial school was demolished.
These buildings were practically the
only ones in the village proper that
were damaged. From this point the
tornado continued on and leveled about
seven more farmhouses. The Weihe
house, in which the four people were
1t was completely demolished. The
occupants were carried with the de-

fields. Much live stock was killed.
At C%ovington considerable property
damage was done, but nobody was
hurt.
Eleven years ago New Minden was
struck by a tornado and four or five
people killed and a score or more in
jured. At that time the tornado de-
molished almost every building in the
village.
