OFFERING OF BONUSES.
Not All Enterprises Asking Assistance
Prove to Be Good Things.

Many towns that are anxious to Sc
cure manufacturing enterprises that
will afford employment for the peo-
pie receive propositions from different
concerns desirous to locate somewhere
where the people will loosen the
strings on their purses and put up a
bonus. The bonus proposition is all
right sometimes, but in the majority
of cases 1t means just so much money
lost. There are hundreds of towns
in the country that have tried the
bonus deals, and with regret to the
ones who supplied the cash. 1t may
be all right to subscribe for stock in
meritorious concern that is strug-
Cling for capital to carry on its oper-
ations. In fact it is always a good
idea to have the stock Of any manu-
featuring enterprise owned by the
people of the town where the concern
is located. But too often the bonus
hunter, is simply bonus hunter and
his enterprise is not likely to amount
to much

Factors in Commerce.

Quite often the statement is made
that the revolutionary methods of the
present time mean the cutting out OF
the middleman. There seems, upon
only superficial examination and
study, that this may be true. But
when there is most careful analy.
sis made of conditions, it looks plain
that there can be no system that man
can devise that will take the place Of
the middleman. Methods may change.
Even the character and the work of
the middleman, the distributor, may
change, but there will always be a
place for him. He would be a thing
of the past long ago IL more econom-
ical means could be found for the gen.
eral distribution of products. He is
the handy man of commerce. He can
not be we'll relegated to the junk
heap. He is here to stay. and will
stay as long as the wheels OF COM
merce and progress turn.

DID NOT ELECT A MANAGER.
Ohio Democratic State Central Com
mittee Meets in Columbus and
Organizes.

Columbus, o. Because the can
didates on the state ticket could
not agree upon an executive
chairman, the Democratic state cen
trail committee which met here Fri
day and organized did not elect a
campaign manager and adjourned un-
til May 81, when it is expected a
choice will be made. Judson Har-
mon, the nominee for governor, and
all other candidates on the state
ticket we're here to confer with the
committee. Mr. Harmon favored
James Ross of Columbus for execu-
tive chairman, while other candidates
wanted William l.. Finley, former
secretary of the executive committee,
for the place.
Mayor Tom Johnson, member OF
the state central committee, who
fought the nomination of Harmon for
governor in the recent convention,
was in attendance and said he was
willing to defer to the wishes of Mr..
Harmon in the selection of cam
paign manager. He had been urged,
he said, by the nominee for governor
to attend the meeting. Mr.. Harmon
had a private interview with Mayor
Johnson during which the platform
adopted by the recent state conven-
ton, and with which the mayor said
In the convention the Cincinnati man
was not in harmony, was discussed.
Mr. Harmon said later he had accept
ed the nomination and stood on the
party platform.
In the organization of the central
committee Charles A Kloeb of Mer-
Ger county was elected chairman over
Henry Kamp Of Piqua by vote of
II to 10.

wife slayer, began its attack on

lieved the defense will endeavor to

A DESPERATE CHANCE.
Story of Amos Chapman, Scout Under
Gen. Miles.

Amos Chapman was Is years in gov
ernment employ as scout on the
plains. During his life of constant
peril and exposure, writes Mr.. Randall
Parrish in The Great Plains" one
of his most heroic deeds was per-
formed while he was bearing dis
patches for Gen. Miles from his camp
on Mcclellan Creek to Camp Supply,
Indian Territory. The dispatch party
consisted of six men. Early in the
morning, after hard nights ride,
they were suddenly attacked near the
Washita river by a band of over a
hundred Kiowa and Comanche war
riors. Capt. Dodge thus describes
what followed:
The first intimation Of the presence
of Indians was volley which wound
ed every man in the party. In an in
stant the Indians appeared on all
sides.
Dismounting and abandoning their
horses, the brave band of whites
moved together for hundred yards to
a buffalo wallow, a shallow natural
depression in the prairie.
Chapman and Dixon, being but
slightly wounded, worked hard and
fast to deepen this depression, and
as soon as it was sufficiently deep to
and the work continued from within.
Smith had fallen from his horse at
the first fire, and was supposed to be

Paris Pattern No. 1897, All Seams
Allowed.-Dark blue pongee has been
used for this simple shirt waist. The
turn-down collar of the material is
made separate from the shirt, so that
it may be worn with the plain white

rial is stitched along the waist line, and
buttons sewed to this belt at regular
intervals hold the trousers in place.
The plain shirt sleeves are gathered
into narrow cuffs of the material and
the shirt fastens at the center-front
with small pearl buttons. The pat
tern is adaptable to any washable ma
terial and is both serviceable and prac-
tical. The pattern is in seven sizes
three to fifteen years. For boy of
nine years the waist requires 23s

Meat Trick PLAYED by Robbers.

u was certainly reprehensible,
though one cannot but smile at the
bold trick played by half dozen men
in Paris few evenings ago. These in
dividuals rang at the door of private
house, and before the servant could
announce their arrival the leader had
donned an official scarf and introduced
himself as police commissioner,
seized about $1,000 which was lying
on the table as stakes in a game OF
poker, and saying he would not
trouble the host and his guests
to call at the office that evening,
but would be obliged If they
would do so the next morning,
politely departed. When the players
dutifully called at the office the next
day their visit created visible surprise.
and they learned to their disgust that
this police commissioner of the night
before had tricked them. and their
1000 had been carried off by a gang
of thieves. So much for playing poker
and having an uneasy conscience!

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.
Study tho Lord of Creation and the
Things He Wears.

See the man!
He wears hat of straw, stiffened
with glu' until 1t is like a tin pail, or
of felt or silk, stiffened with bum
shellac until it is ike n cast iron pot
Inside this unyieiding bIlm Is thick
band of hard, stiff leather. Te-enforced
with inner bands of flannel Result
compression of the blood essels of the
scalp, causing undue perspiration, head
ache and badness.
About his neck In summer is turn
down collar, which is a high, stiff
fence of eight tficknesses of starched
linen. This fits closely, leaving him
unable to turn his head without great
effort Imbedded in this and tied in
front In a thick, uncomfortable bunch
is a tie of heavy cotton or silk, re-en-
forced with Innings of quilted canton
flannel.
His shirt has a stiff, unyielding front
of the firmness of a rhest's breast
plate. This must be donned with dex-
terity and worn with care lest it break
or bend. His waistcoat is made of
heavy woolen cloth, and in summer he
wears one of heavier, thicker and
warmer duck or cheviot. This warmth
and thickness, however, are only in
front, where nature has already pro-
tected the lungs and heart. At his
back, where protectio4 is required
against draft or chill, the waistcoat is
of thin muslin.
His coat is built similarly, the fronts
being REINFORCED with lapels of many
Innings.
About his waist he buckles a belt so
tightly as to interfere with breathing
and circulation, yet can rarely get it
tight enough TO achieve its own pur-
pose.
For this reason he must wear sus-
penders, which are probably the most
uncomfortable garment known.
He carries stick which has no pre-
tense to use or beauty.
He has dozens of pockets into which
he never puts anything
He has buttons which button nothing
and buttonholes which are not to be
used
He has strange jewelry of clumsy In
tent. Great buttons Of uncouth shape
must be thrust through stiffly starched
layers of linen. Collar buttons must
be lost and hunted for.
He has rings on his fingers, pins in
his scarf, chains across his breast, fobs
dangling from his pockets and studs
in his shirts.
He is not what he was created, but
Is what he has created.
Is the man a savage?
No; he is the lord of creation!-Life.

MILLET'S POVERTY.

Incident In the Life of the Great
French Painter.
1t seems almost incredible that Nil,
let painter of The Angelus" and 9TH
er now world famous pictures, should
have suffered from the poverty that
forms the basis of the following story,
but it is a fact that he did: One day,
indeed, he found himself without food
in the house for himself and his fam
fly. In his extremity Diaz offered to
take two of Millet's drawings to Paris
and make an effort to sell them. Even
ing came, the Millet family anxiously
awaiting their friends return. II he
came back without the drawings II
meant bread; with them, hungry to
bed. Night fell, the family sitting in
darkness because they felt they could
not afford a light
At last they heard the stamping of
Diaz's wooden leg as he crossed the
little paved court and his lusty voice
calling out: Light! Light! Where is
the light?" The family hurried to light
a candle. But even while the head of
the old fashioned sulphur match still
was spluttering DiaZ, who was a Span
lard and nothing If not Temperament
tai, slapped down two loaves of bread
on the table, one after another, in
quick succession. When at last the
candle was burning he drew out 90
francs in gold, all save one piece,
which he had been obliged to change
In buying the bread. He arranged the
gold pieces in q circle like a halo
around the candle, ending with the
change, Of which he made neat pile.
"Ah," sighed Millet as he regarded
the unhoped for treasure. 'ff only 1
could count on sum like this every
weekw
Would you turn capitalism re-
proachfully asked Diaz.
If to suffer is spur to genius, Is II
wonder that these Barbtzon men
were great painters? "A
