into Mr.. Bertram's Office. 1t takes a staff of
clerks to attend to it, and man with fine
head to answer them. Mr.. Carnegie never
sees these letters; it is only once a month that
real good idea comes in. All the rest have
to be answered in language that will soothe
as we'll as decline.
Miss X. /. Harrison, private secretary to
H. H. Rogers, said to be worth more than a
million dollars in her own right, and possibly
the highest salaried person of her position in
the world, has days work that few persons
might envy her. She must attend to the
Standard Oil magnate's personal correspond
ence, and handle all confidential communi-
cations in person; there is a volume of cor
respondence that no person other than Mr..
Rogers and Miss Harrison ever sees. She
must look after his appointments, notify him
of all business engagements, and see that he
has the time to attend them. kilograms and
telephone calls are all attended to by her
visitors pass under her keen scrutiny and
cross examination. In fact she IS there watch
ing over the master OF millions, guarding
him from intrusion and annoyance, and saving
him all the work that is possible-a task that
Is by no means easy.
Miss A. Adams, as she likes to sign herself,
secretary to John D. Rockefeller, has perhaps
a less strenuous time, in that her chief has re-
tired from active business cares for twelve
years or more. As the Rockefeller charitable
and educational requests have reached sum
beyond one hundred and twenty million dol
lars, it is easy to see that there is plenty of
work for idle hands to do The Rockefeller
personal mail is said to be the largest in Cleve-
land and as the greater volume of it consists
of communications from cranks or persons
seeking charity which must be read in order
to separate the wheat from the chaff, one can
appreciate Miss Adams's troubles.
Private secretaries to great men have large
Offices with several persons under them. Their
Offices are as busy that of banking establish
ment; they have their desks and their stenog-
raphers and clerical stats. They look for all
the world like heads of fourishing mercantile
the surface that you discover that they are
working to save the great one from useless
work; that they are the watch dogs of their
employers brains, time, and money.

welt or to get personal
letter from him, knows that there is "a man
named Loeb who must be overcome before
the inner circle is reached. If you have some
notions about libraries that will allow Mr..
Carnegie to make himself poor, you must con-
vince a man named Bertram that you are
talking sense; If you have pet scheme by
which John d. Rockefeller can benefit either
yourself or several millions of suffering human
itr You must talk to Miss Adams and permit
her to apply the acid test before Mr.. Rookie
teller is even aware of Your existence; If you
have something with millions in it up
your sleeve in which you wish to interest H.
H. Rogers, you will find yourself attempting
to convince rather cold and business like
young woman, Miss K. l. Harrison, of its
soundness; if you wish to reach f. H. Harri-
rush into George ]. Gould's private Office.
your way will be barred by polite Mr.. Nal
lett. In fact, if you attempt to see any of
the worlds great or wealthy to whom You or
your mission is unknown, you will be met
halfway by their private secretaries.
Secretary Loeb is pretty much of a states
man and diplomat. He has to placate a
pompous Office holder, and in the next breath
explain to a politician, without leaving a
wound, that the President, under ordinary
circumstances, would be delighted to see him;
but on account of unusual stress OF public
business is unable to enjoy that pleasure He
must deity and politely shoe cranks away,
and explain to important and unlmportant
political organizations that the PRESIDENT Will
be unable to go to Chicago or Cedar Creek to
attend the anniversary OF something or other.
1t is Mr.. Loeb who answers ninety-nine per
cent. of the Presidents mail; and since every
person who writes is certain that his letter is
important, and ninety-eight per cent of
them are rubbish, You can see that the task
is not easy Whenever the President travels,
Mr.. Loeb goes with him. and at every station
he meets men with whom he talked for
three minutes about four years ago. He has
to recall their names and faces and greet them
as old friends for to forget them would be
Slight that would wound the heart and pride
of the local great.
Mr.. Bertram, Mr.. Carnegie's private secre-
tary, has a task that in its way is quite as
difficult. The world is full of persons who

and that from wood pulp is made by stripping
off the hard outer shell OF the cornstalk and
boiling it in caustic soda. The plth cooked by
itself yields parchment like paper. The en-
tire stalk except the nodes yields rather
hard paper of intermediate quality. But
processes must be further developed before
cornstalks can take the place of wood pulp.
The same expert is now studying bagasse,
which is the residue of sugar cane after the
juice has been pressed out Mills are now in
operation in Louisiana and Texas making
boxboard and pressboard papers from bagasse
A mill in Michigan is making boxboard paper
from peat. In both these materials the fiber
is so short that it is necessary to mix old paper
or wood pull p with it in order to use 1t.
Cotton stalks seem to be the most promising
material in this country at present. Persistent
experiments have been made; but the results
so far have not been satisfactory except to
sundry promoters, who have taken advantage
of popular credulity to sell stock. If once
satisfactory process of treating cotton stalks
can be found, vast possibilities will be opened
up; for it is estimated that twenty-three mil
lion tons of them burned or plowed under
in the South annually.
Sindal, the British expert, thought bamboo
the most promising material he could find IN
India and Burma, with rice straw second.
But both the character and the length OF the
fiber in bamboo and rice straw preclude its
use as a substitute for wood pulp unless some
revolutionary process for treating 1t can be
found.
Another English expert proposes to return
to the first paper making material, papyrus,
used by the Egyptians and the old Romans.
Unfortunately, the Papyrus supply is too linn
tied to be of prime Importance.
Over in Germany they are reintroducing
straw for paper making. In the last fifteen
years the quantity of straw used for paper in
the Fatherland has trebed. The production of
paper from straw dates back to 1900. The
process was first used in the United States
in May, 1857 After 1880 the use of straw
began to decline, owing to the competition of
wood pulp. In Belgium, Holland, and Italy
the Of straw for paper making ceased al
together years ago; but the stubborn Germans
stuck to it until they found out how to Sim
pify and improve the process, and now they
find this material specially adapted to the
manufacture of fine papers.
The Germans were also shrewd enough to
begin replanting their forests hundred and
fifty years ago, SO that their supply of wood
pulp will be kept up indefinitely. The japanese
also had the foresight to take up the care of
their forests years ago.

ing some LOT
wood pulp for making paper may realize from
it wealth beyond the dreams OF avarice. The
forests from which the worlds paper supply is
drawn are whitening so rapidly under the ire
mendous consumption that a paper famine
is believed to be imminent.
So grave Is the situation that the United
States Government has established an ex-
perimental laboratory at South Boston to try
to find substitute for wood pulp. The Brit
ish Government, equally concerned over the
outlook recently sent the most renowned
paper making chemists to India and Burma
for the same purpose. Scores, perhaps hun
dreds, of private individuals are also eagerly
engaged in the quest for paper making ma
terial. SO far neither government nor private
investigators have made substantial progress.
Yet ali the time the worlds consumption of
paper increases, while the forests diminish. At
the present time the United States
much wood for paper in one year as grows IN
the forests in three.
the worlds economy. 1t not only serves man
in the humber capacities of newspapers and
bank checks, but for about every other use In
life, from the cradle to the coffin. Napkins,
car wheels. stair ratings, furniture, tubs, buck
cts, artificial flowers, lead pencils, stage set
tings, building material and some hundreds
of other objects are made from paper. In
Saxony cloth is woven from paper. japanese
soldiers cook their rations in paper saucepans.
How Much Is Used
THE annual consumption of paper affords
i pretty fair gage Of national development.
For instance, the United States consumes
s7.7s pounds of paper per. capita every year,
England 37.1S pounds, Germany 2o.o2 pounds,
France ao.6 pounds, Argentine 11:44 pounds.
Japan s.2S pounds, and Russia 2.53 pounds.
China uses only eleven hundredths of pound.
To supply the United States with paper in
1905 required 3,o4s,4s9 cords OF wood, 3o45s5
tons of straw, and S8o,442 tons of rags and
waste paper, all of which yielded a product of
a total value of $751; 3o,416. 1t can readily
be seen therefore, that there are millions IN
it for the man who can find new material to
supply this tremendous demand.
About every vegetable product that has
ever been suspected of having fiber has been
the subject of paper making experiments:
The sagebrush which covers so many thousand
square miles of the arid West has been tried,
but cannot be utilized satisfactorily by any
process now known. Banana stalks have been
tried also So has ramie.

years studying the possibilities of cornstalks

Mrs. Jacob Schneberger.

w. j. Penhallegon, who is now in
Los Angeles, writes us, under date OF
March II, the following in regard to
the illness and death of Mrs. Seine
berger:
Since reaching Los Angeles we were
panied to learn of the death of our
dear old friend and former citizen,
Mrs. j. Schneberger. We had plan
NED to call upon her during our visit
here, but upon calling up their home
was informed by her daughter, Mrs.
A. Wiener, that she had died the 18th
inst. We received a very kind invita-
ton to visit them, and today Mrs.
Penhallegon and | called. We find
Mrs. Schneberger had lived in Los
Angeles almost three years, and had
learned to love her adopted home,
although bearing the kindest feeling
toward her old friends and associates
in Mineral Point. We were informed
she always was delighted to meet and
converse with her Wisconsin friends,
and never tired recalling incidents
connected with the history of our old
city, of which she was a resident for
As years.
Mrs. Schneberger was born in Ger
many, Jan. 6, 1880, and with her late
husband emigrated to America in ear
ly life, and settled in Mineral Point,
almost fifty years ago. She had been
in failing health for almost a year,
but during all that time had suffered
but slightly, the close of life being
painless and peaceful. Her one great
wish since her health began to fail was
that her ashes might repose beside her
husband in Mineral Point. She exact
ed promise from her family, that af-
ter her death her body should be Gre
mated. This promise was carried out
and in the near future her dust will be
forwarded to Mineral Point to be de-
posted beside the remains of her hus-
band.

Mans Suuarioritv.

One sees many curious phases of hui
man nature in the safe deposit vaults
of banking institution, from the wo-
men who never know where their keys
are to the man who is not quite certain
that he has locked his box and returns
to the vault three or four times to
make sure. But in a recent experience
with a new customer to whom l was
renting a box the climax was reached
I handed him the keys and said:
''NOw, here are two keys. Separate
them so that if you lose one you will
have the other to admit you"
He quickly replied:
Every we'll. l will put one on my key
ring and lock the other up in my box"
And yet they tell us that men are
more logical than women. -Lippincott's.
