Romance In Cement.

There is much of the romantic IL
the development of the cement belt"
from a farm land, none too rich at
that, to a teeming valley filed with
laborers, skilled and unskilled. Farm
ers who for years barely succeeded in
making enough from their farms to
meet the mortgage interest suddenly
found themselves rich beyond the
most extraordinary flights of their
imagination. Barren, rocky soil, upon
which the wild carrot, the goldenrod
and the Canada thistle were the most
prolific crops, and where the tiller of
the soil more frequently than not
damned the rocks which were to
prove his fortune, suddenly became
worth hundreds of dollars an acre.

AN UNUSUAL MAN.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.


This is about man who tried to do
right and was true to his convictions.
Incidentally he made and lost mil.
lions.
A few days ago Ferdinand Schu-
macher Of Canton, O., passed away.
He was the pioneer in the breakfast
food industry in the United States.
Fifty-two years ago Mr.. Schumacher
came to Akron from Germany. He
began to prepare oats for the table by
shelling, cutting and cooking them. In
mills working night and day to supply
the demand for his cereals.
Other companies initiated Schuma.
cher, and the industry grew until ii
was absorbed by the trust.
Mr.. Schumacher did not understand
the ms and outs of high finance and
in 1896, after making an assignment,
he left the American Cereal company
Though at one time a millionaire, he
died with nothing. His friends say he
was manipulated out of his money
Anyway, the man himself, and not
his millions, is the important consid-
Grafton
Schumacher was one of the original
Prohibitionists of the country, and
what is more, he practiced what he
believed
An instance:
When his immense cereal mills al
Akron burned in 1885, large quantities
Of grain in his elevators became wet
and sprouted The breweries wanted
to purchase the damaged grain for dis
tilling purposes. Mr.. Schumacher re-
fused to sell the grain, preferring to
lose rather than have the stuff made
into intoxicants.
Quixotic?
Possibly. But it proves the stamp OF
the man. What he believed he believed
with oil his might and he stood ready
to suffer for the cause he had espoused
Another instance:
Mr.. Schumacher was the promoter OF
a town company at Marseilles, ILL.,, In
which he invested nearly $1,000,O00
He attempted to make the place 8
model town and total abstinence com
munity. The venture failed.
Nevertheless the man did his best
He showed his good intentions. Ht
carried his philanthropic desire to the
verge.
Here is the point in this mans ca
reer:
He made no pretenses. He put bis
manhood above his money. And hi
stood four square to all the winds tha
blow. You may not agree with his be
liefs. You may call him crank. Blu
you must respect him as you must re
spect every man who makes good In ;
righteous cause
Men like Ferdinand Schumacher art
Scarcer than we could wish.

The Earth is floating like little ball
Upon thin air-and on its back-a
man;
Since that strange chaos from which
all began
So hath it bobbed-sea, mountain, man,

Yet not one hath ever had a fall,
Through land and water, cnvious
of place.
Have shifted often, leaving little
In such proportions do both stretch and
sprawl.
And all around, about, above, below,
Are other bubbles dancing on the air;
Some million billions, rolling here and
there,
And on their shells more men, for
all we know.
Yet in this scheme stupendous, our
great wit
Saith once for ALTMAN and his Earth

g Make Good"
(By HERBERT KAuFMAN)

(By fEhBEH1 KAUFMAN
Make good.
Cut out eff" could and "sbould )"
And staE in to saw wood
You can still have the best
Things in life. like the rest
OF the men who've achieved
Just because they've believed
In themselves. You're deceived
If you think fortune comes
With a rattle of drums
And fanfare of state
To hand yours on plate.
That isn't the way
That she visits today.
You must get out and rustic
And hustle and hustle;
You need all your muscle,
For you've got to tussle,
Plunge into the fight.
Hit to left and to right,
And Keep crashing and smashing.
Don't let UP with your striking.
TIL things meet your liking.
For Gods sake, stop bawling-
Instead, do some hauling.
1t makes the world bitter
To look at a gutter:
Fate scowls when she sees
A grown-up on his knees
A man with his health
Is a mine damned with wealth
Full of unexplored lodes
Why. the freelxled- back toads
Have the sense to keep jumping
And here you are Pumping.
Come now, strike your gait
1t isn't too late,
There's no such a fate!
There's no such thing as fate,
Drop that fool-talk of luck"
Get grip on your pluck.
And buck.
Begin
To grin
And win.
