most of the lighter work too, is done
by electricity while the farmer and
his good family stand idly by and
watch the wheels so round.
There is a little creek running

has merely put the stream to work

This stream he has harnessed to run

There's Good in the Gossip.

Justice has not been done the Cos
sip. The wiseacres indulge in SEN
tentious rebuke of Mrs. Sinner, yet
large portion of the conversation one
hears in all informal assemblies
when there is no restraint from the
flow of talk is largely gossip.
The habit is commonly supposed to
be affected chiefly by women. The
injunction Let your women keep 81
lence in the churches" would seem
to give them license to speak freely
elsewhere; but the male gossip is
much in evidence on all occasions.
Gossip is necessarily SANDER. The
light and airy persifiage which gives
so much grace and interest to social
intercourse is a form of gossip
which makes life worth living.
The painfully silent person does
not get on very well in any circle, so
that it is better to talk little inno-
cent chaff than not to talk at all.
The gravest persons, when intro
duced, begin their conversation with
meaningless platitudes about the
weather, or indulge in inane gossip
until they find some common ground
for sane intercourse.
The intelligent reading world pays
an unconscious tribute to gossip in
assigning to such writer's as Pepys
and Boswell a place among the Eng
lish classics The charm Of certain
modern histories is due to the fact
that they record gossipy trif1es which
were once regarded as much beneath
the dignity of historical narrative.
Gossip is the pillar of social fabric
its prop and stay. Everybody on
good terms with his neighbor must
gossip with him, land it is more i'm
portant," says a keen student Of hu-
man nature, that a person should
be a gossip and talk pleasantly and
smartly of common friends and the
thousand and one nothings of the
day and hour than that he should
speak with the tongue Of men and
angels"
The famous cOnversers are accom-
plished gossips of the higher rank.
Many of the finest sayings of Sam
uel Johnson, as worded by Boswell.
were brilliant bits of gossip about
men and things. 1t is impossible ia
be a really good talker without in
dulging in illusions which Dryas-
dust would taboo as idle nonsense

PrescFiDtien's Falling Oft.



The number Of prescriptions writ
ten for whiskey are still on the de-
cline. For the four weeks in Jan
uary last they ran as follows:
1,1S1, 1901, 1,038, 1,216, total of
1926. For the four weeks of Feb
ruary they ran: 1888, ,4O8, 1913
and 1924, q total of 1888. For the
four weeks Of March they ran as fol-
lows; 1887, 1,158, 631 and 568,a to-
tai of 1874. The decline in this
month is due to the passage of the
rigid anti-prescription bill by the leg
islature, endangering a physicians
license if he wrote prescriptions for
other than bonafde patients. That
the list is still declining is evident
from the fact that for the week end
ing on the first of April the number
OF prescriptions had fallen to 526.

FATHER OF GERMAN STEEL.

Completed, but he died satisfied that
all he had wished to do and all he
had planned would in the course OF
time be brought to fulfillment. The
first Krupp possessed little money,
and in 1918 he built a tiny furnace at
Essen, in Prussia, and started in to
manufacture steel. His declared in
tention was to make the little Prus-
sian town of Essen greater steel
center than Sheffield, England.
In four yoat5 he lost all his money
and his home. He moved to small
cottage, borrowed a few thousand
marks, and again began operations.
In four years more his health was
shattered, the borrowed money was
gone, and he died In absolute pow
erty.
The heir to his debts and his de-
sire to manufacture steel was Alfred
Krupp, boy fourteen years old. The

Wireless Telegraph to Save Birds.

"HSiSSS ASlSSTdplA W Save hIfus.
Sportsmen in France are becoming
furious advocate of wireless teleg-
raphy. 1t appears, says French pa
per, that after carefully watching for
three years kilometer's length of
telegraph wire in a district not over
populated with birds, an interested
observer has proved that one and
half head Of game, such as part
ridges, pheasants, quail, and so on, is
impaled yearly on every wire of this
length in France, which means a to-
tai all over the country of forty thou
sand annually. Many of the victims,
especially of the migratory kind. lose
their lives through nocturnal flights;
SO unless these can be induced to
travel by day, wireless telegraphy
seems the only French game law in
future worth supporting. 1t would
be interesting to find out if in Eng
land also bird intelligence is still of
the Photographic period.

Possessor of Krupp Fortunes.
dilapidated furnace around which his
father worked until it killed him.
There was, however, command
from his father that he was resolved
to obey.
"You are to make Essen the most
famous steel manufacturing place In
the world" the dying Krupp had
said Your mother will help you do
it,
The boy and his mother then be-
gan to conduct the business. Theirs
were four workmen ready to assist
them, and ready to trust them for
the future payment Of the wages that
could not be paid during the first
few months Of operation.
Success came slowly. Every foot
Of the way had to be fought. Prus-
sian-made steel was mistrusted, for
at that time England was supreme in
the art of steel working. But the
elder Krupp had been On the right
track, and would have won If his
strength had held out. Alfred Krupp,
though a boy, was not afraid to do
mans work in the foundry during
the day. and at night he attended to
the business end of affairs. His
mother assisted him in everything,
working in the office, soliciting or
ders. performing the work OF an
overseer in the foundry and attend
ing to the household By the time
young Krupp was twenty-one the
hoI nd a
was employing score of workmen.
When the business was on such a
solid basis that the future was as
sured Alfred Krupp was urged to
marry. He steadfastly refused. His
father had left to him the task OF
looking after his mother, as well as
that of building up the business Of
steel-making and it was not until
after Mrs. krupp died in 1852 that
her son took a wife.
Even when the business had begun
to prosper, all was not easy for him.
The Prussian Government placed OBJ
stacles in his way, and 1t was not I'M
til 1859 that he received a govern
ment order for cannon. The Can
non King" had at last been recog-
nized, and it was he who thereafter
armed the Prussian soldiers, and he
made the batteries that wrought such
havoc in the French forces in the
war Of 1870.
When he died in 1887 he left a
plant in which 10000 men were en-
ployed. In Essen alone, at the pres
ent time, $4,000 men find work, and
for the krupp shipyards, where the
German battleships are constructed,
and in the subsidiary Krupp indus
tries. $4,000 more are employed.
And owing to the multiple system Of
voting prevalent in Germany, the
head of the Krupp business-at pres
ent woman-alone can select one
member of the German Reichstag.

Id Transit, Said to Have Provided
$6,250,o00 Of Water.

New York, Nov. 29.-Wllliam M.
WINS. while Investigating the affairs
OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany for the public service commits
sion Friday, declared that Mayor Tom
L. Johnson Of Cleveland and his
friends, who formerly owned the Mas
sau Electric Railway company of
Brooklyn, had watered its stock to
the extent Of s6,25O,OO0 and then sold
1t to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany.
This was alleged to have taken
place In a reorganization of the Mas
san company in January, 1899.
Accusation by WINS.
Questioning Timothy S. Williams,
vice president of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company, about the reorgani-
cation Of the Nassau company, Mr..
WINS said: ION that reorganization
find that they increased their bond
issue. which had heretofore been S..
100000, by an additional $~8,946,960.
They made an entirely new issue of
preferred stock Of $e.00O,0 900. they
heretofore having no preferred stock,
and to the heretofore existing $4,000.
900 of common stock they added S..
100000, making a total Of new issues
Of $~17,946,960, and your acquisition
was after this increase Of capitaliza-
ton. Can you tell me what these new
securities were issued for?"
Williams Tries to Explain.
MI. Williams said an explanation of
the transaction was given In an agree
ment which Mr.. WINS had, but this
was not read. Mr.. Williams also con
tended that the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company, If it had bought &c.
100000 of water, had subsequently
squeezed it out.
Il cannot agree with you," said Mr..
WINS. 1T looks to me like a plain
case OF stock watering, and the com
pany had no right to charge that &c.
100000 on its books to the cost and
equipment Of the road. It was wrong
in principle, and If it wasn't then
against the law, the law ought to be
amended so as to make such a trans
action impossible"

R.. HEARST HELD
NEW YORK EDITOR BOUND OVER
TO GRAND JURY.
Justice Wyatt Takes Actlon-Crlmlnal
Libel Charge Made by
ChanIer,

New York, Nov. 2~2.--Justice Wyatt
In the court Of special sessions Thurs
day held W. R. Hearst for the grand
jury on a charge Of criminal libel pre-
ferred by William Astor Chanler. 8.
s. Carvalho gave bail for Mr.. Hearst,
The amount of the bond was fixed
at $500, the usual sum required in
misdemeanor cases. Mr.. Carvalho is
the general manager of Mr.. Hearst's
New York newspapers.
Both Mr.. Hearst and his bondsman
were In court when Judge Wyatt
handed down his decision. They re-.
paired to the Office Of District Attor-
ney jerome while the bail bond was
being prepared. It was later approved
by Justice Wyatt and Mr.. Herast and
his attorneys drove away in the big
red automobile which had brought
them to the criminal courts building.
The charge against Mr.. Hearst grew
out Of a publication In the New York
Evening Journal concerning the case
Of Raymond Hitchcock, the actor. Mr..
CHAMBERS name was mentioned in con-
nection with the article. Several
hearings were had before Justice
Wyatt, during which Mr.. Chanler posi-
lively denied that he had ever been at
Hitchcock's house when little girls
were there. His counsel claimed that
the publication had been made for the
purpose Of inJuring politically Lieut..
Gov. Lewis ~Stuyvesant Chanler, q
brother of the complainant against
MI. Hearst.
This was denied by Mr.. Hearst's at.
torneys, who made the counter claim
In court that Mr.. Chanler's proceed.
ings against Mr.. Hearst were taken
in the hope of hurting the chances of
the Independence League ticket In the
last county election.
The grand jury, it is said, has al
ready undertaken an Investigation Of
the charge against MI. Hearst, and a
score or more OF witnesses have been
summoned.
