TWO MINUTE SKETCHES.
Christopher Columbus.
He met rebuff
after rebuff, but
suould not give
up his dream.
~ y. ~. EDGE TON.

~OR eighteen years Christopher
Columbus cherished the dream
of finding land to the west. This
time was spent in Intellectual at
tempts to get money for the undertak-
ing. Almost every sovereign Of Eu-
rope was appealed to in vain. Poor,
friendless almost alone, regarded by
many as insane, Columbus met rebuff
after rebuff, but would not give up his
dream. Finally he appealed to Ferdi-
nand and Isabella Of Spain. Ferdinand
was not convinced, but Isabella was
more favorably inclined and in the end
went so far as to pawn her own jew
els for the enterprise.
With the fitting out of his expedi-
ton the troubles Of the great discov-
erer were not ended. When twenty
his sailors began to murmur, urging
him to turn back. At last the muir
muring broke out into open mutiny.
Still the bold navigator would not give
up Quelling the mutiny with what
ever measures were necessary, he
promised reward to the first sailor
who discovered land. At last the voy-
age was ended, and goal greater than
he himself knew was won.
In all history there are few more in
spring examples Of faith than that Of
Columbus. He had only his own ideal
to support him. Every one else doubt
ed it. Nearly a score Of years passed,
in which every attempt to realize his
dream met with failure. 1t is won
derful that doubt did not assail his
own heart. His was faith, if not to
remove mountains, at least to bring
new worlds into view. So great were
his troubles that they made him white
headed at thirty. They pursued him
even to the end Of his life. At one
time he was thrown into prison. At
nearly all times he was misunder-
stood. Saddest Of all, he died without
knowing that he had found two new
continents and that his humble trip
across the sea would open new era
in the history Of mankind.
Columbus was Of genuinely reli-
gious nature, which may account for
much of the trustful faith he had in his
own inward prompting.

WOMAN WHO TALKED APARK"
Scheme to Secure Her City Beauti-
full Pleasure Ground.

Scheme to Secure Her City Beauti-
full Pleasure Ground.
Had it not been for woman's idea
Bay City, Mich, would probably not
now be preparing to convert nine
acre strip Of river front, occupied by
business houses, into public park,
says the Detroit Free Press. The wo-
man is Mrs. Alfred E. Bousfeld, wife
Of one Of the wealthiest residents Of
Bay City. Mr.. Bousfeld is one of the
three men who brought the $250,OO0
hotel and auditorium project to sue
cessful issue.
The day the old Fraser House burned
Mrs. Bousfeld began talking "park" IN
earnest to her husband. The latter be-
came impressed with the idea, and he
preached it to S. o. Fisher, president
of the board Of trade, and G. A. Eddy,
bis associates in the hotel project. The
three gentlemen presented the scheme
to the public, and it was ratified at
the polls election day by to vote.
AS a result Of Mrs. Bousield's idea
the new hotel will cost $4,000 more
than originally planned, fourteen new
business blocks in the business district
are in the hands Of the architects, over
100000 has changed hands in down
town realty, business property has in
creased in value from rs to 100 per
cent, and buildings valued at $125,O0O
are to be torn down.
Interest In the hotel and park propo
sition, however, had aroused people
generally in matters Of civic improve
ment, and Mrs. Bousfeld, always more
or less interested in municipal improve
ment work by local clubs, took lead
Ing part in the organization Of the new
Woman's Civic Improvement league.
She threw open her home on Center
avenue for meetings, to which women
Of all classes Of society were invited.
Other wives of wealthy men followed
the example, and now the membership
Of the league is mounting rapidly to-
ward the thousand mark.
Absolute democracy prevails among
the members, and women who have
never before known each other owing
to differences in the social scale are
working hand in hand. They have
overthrown all municipal precedents,
made a grand assault on the council
and secured the aid Of the city in clean
ing up the town, the city furnishing
the teams to haul away the accumula-
ton Of winters debris from all pri-
vate residences.

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
Sir Isaac Newton.
BY j. n. EDG T. r TO ~.
Il dull boy, be
became the great
est mathematical
genius of modern
times.

MN this age of doubt many of our
most cherished legends are being
assaulted, the various apple sto-
ries along with the rest. There
have been at least three famous apples
in history-the one eaten by Adam and
Eve, the one shot off his sons head by
William Tell and the one whose fall
suggested to Sir Isaac Newton the law
Of gravitation. Despite the scof1ng Of
the higher criticism, we still cherish
these pippins and are determined to
stand by them.
Newton was rather dull boy and
was literally kicked into exertion. He
stood at the foot Of his class and one
day was booted by the boy higher up.
The Newtonian spirit was aroused by
this indignity, with the result that
young Isaac not only whipped the
kicker, but determined to go ahead of
him in the class. This he did, and
more, for he went to the head of the
row and stayed there.
The second spur to effort received by
the young man came at the time he
sought admission to Cambridge uniyer-
sity. He knew so little about Euclid
that the professor of mathematics OPP
posed admitting him. Newton there
upon determined to know Euclid and
succeeded so we'll that he became the
greatest mathematical genius of mod
ern times.
Voltaire started the story Of the ap-
pie that fell and hit Newton so hard
that the young man determined to find
out what made it fall. II so great a
skeptic as Voltaire could swallow the
story, there is no reason why it should
not be accepted by the other skeptics.
When Sir Isaac first made his COM
putations on the subject Of gravita-
ton. he was misled by the erroneous
notions then held of the length Of the
earths radius. He therefore abandon
ed the theory temporarily. Later the
error was corrected, when he returned
to the subject, completed the demon
stration and gave It to the world In bis
famous "Prfncipia."
In the meantime he had made his al
most equally famous discoveries con-
corning light, dividing white light int
the primary colors and determining tho
difference Of refraction between them.
He also did much In perfecting the tel
escope, gave to mathematics integral
and differential calculus and made 9TH
or contributions 20. science which mark
ed him as the chief intellect Of his age

A Kansas Cleanup Movement.

The Kansas state board of health re-
Gently began sending out letters to the
county and municipal health officers
instructing them to see that the people
Of the state clean up their premises,
says Topeka dispatch to the Kansas
+ City Star. The letter instructs the
health officers to see that all school
houses are disinfected and fumigated
to avoid Infection from typhoid fever
and to see that all slaughter houses are
inspected. DR. Crumbine, secretary Of
the board, devotes considerable atten-
ton to the house fly and instructs the
health officers to begin campaign Of
education among the citizens to put
the fly out Of business by removing all
nuisances and keeping the premises
clean.

"Seeinq Is Believinu.n

The woman who sends money by
mail for the purchase Of goods misses
one Of the finest delights of buying,
especially to q woman. She must take
what she gets without seeing it before
hand. Frequently the disappointment
Is SO great as to Offset any small bar
gain she may happen to get In price.
She has no way Of knowing that the
goods are up to the standard adver-
tised In the catalogue. On the other
hand, when a woman walks into the
home store and the clerk steps up to
do her bidding she has the whole
stock to choose from, and 1t is her
privilege to inspect thoroughly the
goods she buys.

COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES.

How They Can Aid In the Improvement
Of Towns.
What cooperative societies can do
toward the building up Of a town Is
shown by the success Of the following:
Athol, Kan, boasts Of three co-opera
tive Industries controlled and almost
entirely owned by nearby farmers who
have invested their surplus capital in
building up the town, says the Arena.
There are the A thol Cooperative Grain
company, with an elevator which han
dies $4,000 bushels of grain and which
in 1906 disposed Of 1870 carloads Of
grain to the entire satisfaction Of the
farmers, and the Farmers Shipping as
ISOLATION, which handled 120 cars Of
stock and made sales amounting to
S13O,O56.12, besides 1858 collected as
damages from railroads. OF this
amount the shareholding farmers re-
ceived $129, 354.S0. The Peoples Lum-
Der company is the latest venture Of
the farmers, and it is believed it will
prove successful.
A property owners cooperative soci-
ETY. and a cooperative construction COM
pany have been organized by the citi-
Eens Of Auburndale, N. Y, to improve
the town and guard against infringe
ment Of their rights. The construction
company has been organized with
capital stock Of $4,000 and is engaged
in the manufacture Of concrete build
ing blocks, Of which it is proposed to
construct the town. A small plant Is
now in operation at Auburndale, and it
Is proposed to enlarge this, put in new
machinery and engage in the manufac-
ture Of blocks on very extensive
scale.
A cooperative ice manufa cturing
company, which was Incorporated in
Orange, N. j., recently, has purchased
large lot for the location of its plant.
Demands for ice are constantly coming
In from people in the Oranges, Mont
clair and Bloomfield.

GREAT BIC LEAK
IN RAIN CLOUDS
DRENCHES CITY

A glance outside today might lead
folks to believe that # will rain until
the end Of time. but It's not so. for the
official forecaster at the Weather Bur
eau says that by tonight the storm will
probably be over and tomorrow will be
clear and warmer.
At the Weather Bureau $50 inches of
water have fallen since the storm be-
gan yesterday morning. With only very
short let~ups. the rain has poured con-
tinually since shortly before 10 a. m.
yesterday. and many times the showers
resembled a small-sized deluge.
The storm came up from the Gulf Of
Mexico. and reports from that region
state that hard storms are prevailing.
Through New England States similar
reports have been received, and Wash
ington is merely getting its share Of a
general visitation. No damage has been
reported. but the streets OF Washington
have not been washed so clean in many

Hospital Inquiry
Regarding Charges
Begins Wednesday

Active steps toward the investigation
OF the alleged miserable conditions at
the Washington Asylum Hospital viii
begin Wednesday.
John Joy Edison. chairman OF the
Board OF Charities. said today:
'T will take the matter up and name
the subcommittee to do the investigating
as soon as I am informed OF the matter
officially through George S. Wilson. the
boards secretary"
Mr.. Wilson, the secretary, said this
afternoon:
ct will notify Mr.. Edison today OF the
call for the investigation. and the meet
ing will be called for Wednesday"
At the Capitol today there was a
tendency 10 dispute the statement Of
Commissioner Macfarland that Congress
should be somewhat blamed for the con-
dItion OF things at the Asylum Hospital
on the ground that II had not appro-
priated enough money to look after the
patients any better than is now the
case.
1t was even declared that the Com
mittee on Appropriations in the House
granted last session substantially every
thing that the Commissioners asked In
the way OF money for the care Of the
patients IN the Washington Asylum
Hospital. and that IL the conditions are
ur satisfactory, it Is because Congress
was not sufficiently informed of the
ne ed for further appropriations.
One man who Is familiar with the acts
OF the Committee on Appropriations last
year said. this afternoon.
4 do not see how Congress can be
blamed in any sense because vernin
was found on the persons Of some of
the patients at the Washington Asylum.
