ELUSIVE JOB ALWAYS
BECKONED HIM ON
Little Family Always Seek
ing for Rainbow S Gold.

Pontiac, ILL.,, Aug. 13.-(SpeciaD-
If there is any virtue in experience,
John Henry Porter of Red Bank, Pa,
is well qualified to hold the office
of grand master of the army of the
unemployed.
The story of John Henry's pursuit
of the elusive job, as related by him
self to the sympathetic jewellers of
this town, reads like the romance of
the will-o'-th-wisp or the fairy tale of
the pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow
Lured onward and onward in new
er-dying hope, John Henry, accom-
panied by his wife, a 10year-old son
and a baby Is months old, has truged
every inch of the weary way from
Red Bank in the old quaker state to
this place, distance of over 1000
miles, on the trail of the fitting job,
but ever it has eluded him and he
is still on the trail
The days and weeks and months
crept by, but John Henry never fal-
tered as he proceeded, stage by
stage, through Ohio, and Indiana,
and at last reached Illinois. At
Cleveland he was directed to Dayton
and at Dayton he received fresh
tips. At Indianapolis he was told
that Crown Point was the mecca
of his pilgrimage, and at that place
he was referred to Hammond. The
Hammondities informed him that Chi
cago had scouting parties out looking
for men who would consent to accept
positions, when when h reached
Chicago the positions had all been ac-
cepted.
Then Joliet beckoned him on, but
the disappointment which greeted him
there was only momentary, for the
gladstone tidings were impaired to
him that an electric road at Pontiac
be only too glad to secure his SER
vices. But alas! the hike to Pom
tiac brought only the same old re-
suits The work on the extension
had been suspended, and there was
nothing for John Henry to do this
morning but to fecite his story and
seek for new clews.
They were promptly forthcoming
A farmer ten miles out of town
had been advertising for a hired man.
At last it seemed that John Henry's
perseverance was to end in sue
cess. Unhesitatingly and with a
joyous heart he frightened his belt
and walked the ten miles out to the
farm. Then he walked back to town
again to find new trail for the
farmer had closed a deal with an
other man just half an hour before
John Henry arrived.
A John Henry Porter relief fund
has been started here, and as soon
as the subscriptions are all in he
will again take up the pursuit of the
elusive job, confident and hopeful

Blood Thicker Than Water.
washington Post.)

1t was an American commodore,
going to the relief of a British vessel
in a quarrel that might have resulted
in great war between England and
a powerful nation of the continent,
who said ''blood is thicker than wa
ter" and the cordial greetings that
welcome our fleet at the capital of
the most loyal and the most English
of all the colonies of the British en-
pire is but the echo, blood is thicker
than water" In 1898, when we were
at war with Spain, all continental
Europe, from the Baltic to the Med
iterranean was hostile, and Germany
and France threatening. Then it was
that England gathered together a
powerful fleet that caused the CONT
nent to employ more civil tongue. And
there, again, blood was thicker than
water" as it was when Dewey put
the question to the German admiral
at the siege of Manila.
1t was long years after the war of
1872 before there was any degree of
amity between the two great English
speaking peoples. There were bound
airy and fisherery disputes-many of
them-litigated in courts of diplom-
acy, resulting in agreements disap-
pointing to both parties to the dis
putes. Early in the forties of the last
century we would have gone to war
over the Oregon boundary had we
been confident of the result. Our
cry was "54:40 or fight" We did
not get 81 40, and we did not fight.
In our war between the States the
people of the United Kingdom divided
their sympathy about equally between
the North and the South. Palmerston
and Gladstone were for the South !;
the prince consort and Disraeli were
for the North. And had it not been
for the good Offices of Prince Albert
and the good sense of President Lin
coin, Palmerston and Seward would
have involved the North in a war
with England over the Trent affair
The Geneva arbitration of the Al
ALBANIA claims averted a war, but left
both people in i'll humor over the
award, and it was long time before
good feeling was Iestored Then
President Cleveland, making a living
principle of that heretofore nebula
of a state paper, the Monroe doctrine,
set both countries by the ears, and
England and America would have
gone to cutting each others threats
but for the moderation of Prime Min
lister Salisbury
Of course, there will always be
sjealousies. The English complain that
they have never had a fair yacht race
on this side, and we claim that we
were cheated in the Olympic games
on the other side John G. Heenan
did not get fair deal in the English
prize ring, and Tom Allen did not get
a square deal in the American prize
ring.
But "blood is thicker than water 2
and the growing friendship between
the two great peoples of common
tongue, and practically common blood
promotes. the welfare of all mankind

STEWART FIRED FOR

London, Aug. 13.-A case interest
ing to travelling Americans because
it concerned the question of tips was
heard this week before the Liver

an American, who crossed from New
York to Liverpool on the Cunard
steamship Carmania in August, 1906.
distributed tips to the amount of S35
among the stewards, but took all the
money back owing to the ANNOYANCE
he experienced over an incident con-
nected with the distribution of his
largesse.
Mr.. Parke also complained to the
management of the line, and one of
the stewards was dismissed. This
was a man named Walter Roche, who
later brought suit against the COM
pany. on the ground that he had been
libeled, the shore Superintendent of
the Cunard Company having sent COM
munications to the other steamship
companies saying that Roche had
been dismissed for soliciting tips from
passengers.

man named Rosengarten, who
keeps a barroom on the East Side,
was approached several days ago
by two well-dressed men who hung
around the saloon and spent money
freely The men told Rosengarten
that they had made a new electric
device for making money that was
world-beater, and offered to make
him 100000 worth of nice new bills
for $4,000. They advised Rosengar-
ten to sell his saloon and some real
estate he owns upstate and invest.
Rosengarten gave the proposition
time to be gone into and then went
to headquarters, where he told his
story to McCafferty The Inspector
fixed Rosengarten up with a bundle
OF real money from the police chest
and told him to make a date with
his moneyed friends The date was
made and Rosengarten met the two
men tonight at Fourteenth street
and Third avenue. They walked over
until they came to 314 East Thirteen

after some conversation, went into
the house. The other man went
