COIN THE FIRST DESIDERATUM
High-Sounding Titles Little Cared for
by the Really Successful
Business Man.

An offer of title is often made
in place of salary, and many men
are eager for just such places, says
a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
The real business man doesn't care
much what he calls himself or what
the world calls him; what he is after
is the coin, with a capital K.
A young writer styles himself a
Journalist" and the world laughs
at him. What we want is dignity,
but there is more dignity in dollars
than in empty titles.
70 When Dickens visited America in
the first half of the nineteenth CEN
fury he poked fun at our good coun-
try because every man he met was
called a general, captain, lieutenant,
admiral, colonel, or brigadier. He
wanted to know who filled the under
positions, and he couldn't find out.
If Dickens could come back and visit
our offices he would wonder who was
the office boy, when even that young
man styles himself manager of the
waste basket.
It is a noticeable fact that the
higher up a man gets in business the
less he cares for a title. We don't
find anybody in Chicago who would
call himself the royal chief pork
packer.

HAVE WOOD CARVING FAD.

Women of late are much interest
ed in wood carving, possibly because
one of the European monarchies has
lately adopted the art and it is quite
fad in foreign countries for both
men and women to chisel pretty bits
of woodwork for the home. With
the regular carving tools and soft
wood it is possible for women to
design some very handsome articles.
Now that the typography needles and
colors can be added, we may expect
some masterpieces in wood, perhaps
clever limitations of Celtic or Morse
designs.

ONE USE FOR EARTHQUAKES.

Earthquakes are the latest cure
for indigestion. Commenting on the
San Francisco disaster, a medical
journal says: "It is an undoubted
fact that a great many men and
women who were in poor state of
health before the shock, with bad
appetites and defective digestion, are
now eating all they can get and di-.
costing it without trouble, while the
mental condition which so often ac-
companies the dyspeptic state has
been equally improved"

PROFESSIONAL MEMBER,

A woman of the middle west, be-
ing left a widow with a crippled
grandson to support, is making a
living and saving money too, by
mending clothes. She advertised to
do this work and received many re-
plies. One pleased customer brought
another and so on, until her time
is entirely taken up with the work
and she was able to give some of
it to others as needy as herself. One
can usually find plenty of seam
stresses, yet a woman to mend
clothes is indeed a blessing in COM
munity.

The orientals relate that Adam,
when dying, charged his children
to bury his body, embalmed with
myrrh, incense and cassia, in the
cave of Al-Kanuz, near Paradise.
When they quilted the place they
were to convey his body to the center
of the earth, whence would come
salvation to his posterity. This is
said to have been done by Noah and
Melchizedek, who reburied him on
the sacred hill Of Calvary.

PLANT STARTS

The work of manufacturing paving
block was resumed at the new plant
Of The Logan Brick Manufacturing
Company on Monday, February 10th.
| All the men who were working i'm this
department at the time the plant
was shut down were notified to be
ready for work at that time, and with
a few exceptions, all the old EN-
ployees, including twenty-one Ital-
ians, were i'm their former positions.
A very fair start was made, consider
ing that there was an immense
amount of frozen clay which had to
be worked through the dry pans be-
fore any fresh clay from the Clay
Bank could be delivered to the chutes.
| Considerable trouble was caused by
the choking down of the pans owing
to this frozen clay, and many stops
were made on account of parts of the
| different machinery not being proper
| ly adjusted. 10000 block, which is
| Just about one-half the number usual
| ly turned out at this plant in ten
hours, were made On Tuesday $4,000
block were made, and there was an
uninterrupted run in the afternoon
with all machinery working properly.
| Owing to the lack of heat for the dry
| ing tunnels they were forced to shut
down on Wednesday, resuming opera
tions today at which time there is
sufficient dry brick to allow them to
be set in kilns. 1t will require about
two weeks to get every department
running full. The plant now has 100
men working and by the time each
department is full will have 165 men
on the pay roll. When they resume
operations at the old plant they will
require sixty additional men, making
in all 2l5 men. AN the men who
were on the pay roll at the time of
shutting down will be given employ
ment as the different departments
are started, and extra force is re-
quired. The company has adopted
the policy of allowing no one, not an
employee, to enter the yards unless
on business, which should be tran
sacted at the office.
The Logan Brick Manufacture
ing Company has received orders
for one million Logan Paving
Block for the City Of Detroit, to
be shipped at the rate of three
cars per day. This orGer will re-
quire about one hundred and sixty
cars. They are also shipping
three cars daily to Ecorse, Michi-
gan.

Taft Gets Ohio.

Columbus, Feb. 12-Expressing
regret that Senator Foraker did not
remain in the fight and give them
battle worth preparing for, the
Taft leaders in their headquarters
here tonight received reports from
the State showing that in general
ly listless primaries the Republi-
cans of the State have decided in
favor of William H. Taft as their
candidate for the presidency.
But one county has yet to choose
delegates to the State convention
of March 3-that In Harden, firmly
in the control of the Taft leaders,
and it will choose delegates next
Saturday. Every delegate chosen
to-day Is for Taft and every one
of the S15 in the State convention
will vote for HIM.
In Knox county only was there
Foraker ticket in the field to-day
and it was badly beaten.
In Lucas and Scioto counties
there was remonstrance against
the Republican bosses through
whom Taft was operating and at
one time 1t threatened the regular
Taft ticket there, but as the Re-
publicans who were opposing the
bosses, w. f. Brown in Lucas and
p. G.. Clark in Scioto, were also
for Taft, the defeat of the regular
Taft ticket would not have meant
any anti-Taft votes in the State
convention.
The bosses won out and elected
their State Taft ticket, which
means for the bosses that they will
retain their hold on the local Re-
pablican machines, in spite of the
protest of their party and for be-
ing able to do this, they are under
obligations to Secretary Taft for
his cooperation.
