His early religious training was had in the old Quaker meeting house
that stood close by the school, When he was 6 years old his father
bought a farm in West Bradford township. adjoining Newin, which
is still the family home. The family consisted of five boys and two
girls, all living. His first years on the farm were much like those
of any farm lad except that because of his size and strength more
than the usual amount of work fell to his lot. By the time he was
13 he was able to do a mans work.
When he was 1S Frank Green, now a teacher in the State Normal
school at West Chester, interested him in school work and he then
formed the ambition to gain a higher education than the country
school could afford. The following year, with his father, he visited
the memorable battlefield at Gettysburg and, returning, wrote an
essay on the battlefield and its history that won a prize at q local
teachers insdtute and he received as a reward a book of poems,
which he still has. This little incident still further fired his ambi-
ton and he began deliberately to plan his schooling. To help he
had bought a pair of steers and by careful training soon had a vaua-
BILE yoke of oxen. which he sold for $3.50, the nucleus of his educa-
tional fund.
Then the business acumen Of the ambitious youth asserted itself
and, mounting his pony one day, he made the rounds of the neighbor-
ing farm houses and announced he was going to open a stall in the
market house at West Chester and he solicited the sale of the produce
OF his neighbors. The first day he rose at 2 o'clock, got his wares
ready for the early morning trade by the time his prospective custo-
mers were stirring. That day he sold just enough to pay his stall
rent and buy some feed for his horse. There was not enough left to
buy a meal and the young 15-year-old merchant went hungry.
Business prospered, however, and before long he was selling $3.50

Professor Discovers His Talent

Prot. Thompsons remark wa recalled the other evening by a
former Michigan man at a dinner given in Omaha. Mr.. Jeners, as
one of the three debateTs to defend the honor of Michigan against
Wisconsin, went deeply into the preparation of his subject, the mer-
chant marine problem. which IL still with US. He read everything
the college library contained on the subject. He analysed what he
read and formulated in his mind a definite idea of how the subject
should be treated. The other two contestants had carefully prepared
speeches and, with the hired assistance of a professional coach, were
ready to MAXI Impression on the Judges. Before the debate the
three contestan Il were called before members Of the faculty to de-
liver their address. The other two, with perfect infection and
studied gesture, spoke their pieces. Then zen" was called on. He
said he had n speech prepared. but he had an idea how the subject
should be treated and 1t was somewhat different from the method
which his colleagues had outlined in their speeches; in fact 1t was
radically different Some of the professors were inclined to veto his
plan, but Prof. Thompson interrupted them.
Let MI. Jeherts alone" he said. Il have watched him for some
time and l think he is able to take care of himself in almost any sit
uatlon
This remark has been made Of him recently by some Of the men
who we're on the trade excursion in which Mr.. Jeneris was principal
speaker for the omahans. Out In the territory where the Omaha
jobbers were looked on with a Jealous slant situations sometimes
arose which rallied for diplomacy and Judgment in the man who was
TO voice the sentiments of the Omaha crowd. In this big Jen'
never fell down. He still had the happy faculty of taking care Of
himself In any emergency and the cordial feeling the Omaha boosters
left with business men OF the towns they visited was frequently
ascribed to the ability Of big Talk" Jenens to say the right thing at
the right time and In the right way.

Our Foreign Trade.

The official figures are just at hand
relative to the foreign trade of the
United States for the year ending
June Both, 1908, as compared with the
corresponding previous year.
The preliminary returns show that
the total of our exports for the past
year exceeded the imports by 81 1872,
863, los. This includes farm products,
forest products, other merchandise
and all merchandise. A handsome
balance of trade in our favor.
The exports of farm and forest pro
ducts amounted to 81 ,147, 1854 ,121 for
the year ending June 3Oth, 1907, and
81, 1O7, 740, 264 for the year ending June
3Oth, 1908, or a decrease of $50 ,613, S57
for the past year.
a few items show a small increase,
as follows: rosin, wood pulp, pre-
served and prepared vegetables, sugar
and molasses, seeds, rice, cotton seed
oil, corn oil, fax seed meal, nursery
stock, grain and grain products, gin
seng, hams and sausage, animal oils
canned meats, and milk.
Cotton, which forms such a large
portion of our exports, shows a de-
cided falling off as follows: Exports
for the year ending June 3Oth, 1907
S4Sl ,277, 1917; for the year ending June
3Oth, 1908, S437, 7SS, POP, or S43, 4S9, 595
decrease.
1t will be seen from this that the
decrease in cotton exported is alone
chargeable with 1875, 73S more than
the total decrease in exports in farm
and forest products. One can thus
get an estimate of the very prominent
part the SOuths great staple, cotton
plays in our dealings with the world

Jennings Appeal.

In another portion of this paper
will be found an appeal of the Hon
T. A. jennings, of Pensacola, for
contributions to the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign fund.
AS is well known the Democratic
party are striving to carry on this
campaign through small contribu-
tons made by its members. This is
a praiseworthy method, and should
be responded to literally by the in
dividual members of the party.
No campaign can be successfully
carried on without money, and the
more money the more work per-
formed. A dollar from every demo
crat in the country would provide a
fund that would enable the party
managers to carry on such a cam
paign as was never known in this
country. And a dollar would not be
missed by but very few.
To avoid delay send all money
direct to Hon. 7. A. Jennings, Pen
sacola, Fla. There is no time to lose
as the funds are needed at once to
pay for literature, speakers ex-
penses, &c.

Our Canal.

In another column will be found a
most interesting communication from
Miss Lillian Carlisle, of Galloway
Fla, reviewing the value of the pro
posed East Bay canal to the interior
cities; it's prospective cost; and sug-
costing a very unique but plausible
method of raising the funds needed
to carry on the work.
AS the PILOT has heretofore stated
all that was required was that some
one take the initiative, and if Miss
Carlisle's suggestion were carried
out, and the Ladies Town Improve
ment Associations would do this, the
work would be promptly begun, and
soon finished.
The method proposed is feasible; it
would be popular; and there are
sufficient wide awake ladies within
the territory to be benefited, to carry
it out. We trust that they will COM
municate with each other and take
such action as will promote the be-
ginning of this small, but important
public work.

Gulf Coast Inland Waterways.

The Apalachicola Times says: The
Gulf Coast Inland Waterways Asso-
citation is dependent for life on its
membership.
1t has been Appropriated that
50, 200 will be required to run the as
ISOLATION for two years.
The expenditures of the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf Deep Water Association for
the year 1907 was $40, O65.51, which
included a secretary's pay for one
year of 81 900. The other principal
items of expense were publicity, 81 :
152. so; printing, 81 1862 II ,stenograph-
er, s1,1S6.53; postage, S923.OO; ex-
pense of committees, 81, 1860, etc.
No officers of the Gulf Coast Inland
Waterways Association receive sala-
ries. $1,000 per month is allowed for
stenOgraphic service, therefore the
expenses of this association will be
publicity, printing, postage and ex-
pense of committees.
The distribution of literature and
correspondence is largely attended to
by the secretary. 1t is proposed to
distribute $4,000 circulars, maps and

Good Roads.

The campaign for Good Roads is
becoming National one, and it is es-
pecially noteworthy that the people
of the South are decidedly awake upon
that subject.
Many counties are proposing the
issuing of bonds, thus placing the
cost of the improvements upon those
who will receive the full benefit of
the good roads in the future.
Nothing is holding back the devel-
opment of Washington county more
than the lack of transportation facili-
ties in the way of roads. There are
but few sections of it that have any
thing that might be called road,
and the road laws are not productive
of any improvement of the struggling
trails that now pass for roads.
There is no question of greater in
terest to every one in the county than
this subject of good roads. 1t touches
the pockets of every one. The i'm
provement of the roads would mean
added value to the farms, and pros
perity for the farmers. Let every one
join in the campaign for good roads.

Ladies Town Improvement
Associations.

| Just when these Associations began
their work in Florida the PILOT does
not know, but it does know that they
have done some very effective work
and are increasing in numbers and
power at most satisfactory rate.
From different localities come re-
ports of their public benefactions,
clearing up streets, establishing
parks, starting public libraries, and
generally aiding and identifying their
towns and cities.
Some have taken upon themselves
the duty of inducing immigration,
sending out literature to prospective
homeseekers describing the advan-
tages of their own sections; while
others are engaged in getting facts
and figures that will best aid their
own people to a more prosperous
condition.
In fact there is no phase of home
or public life that these Associations
are not looking after. Therefore it
is not surprising that one of our East
Bay lady's suggests that these Asso-
Citations take action tow ard securing
the cutting of the East Bay canal.
If the ladies enter into this project
as they have into more local matters,
there is no question but that they will
carry it through to a successful term
nation.

The readers of the PILOT are re-
quested to note the article in another
column relative to promoting the In
land Waterways. The small amount
called for from individuals, or firms,
should result in large membership,
and as this is the only means of Sc
curing funds to carry on the public
portion of the work, it is to be hoped
that th9re will be no delay in joining

Thus far but little has been done
by either political party toward open

has had something to do with this
apathy, while other indications point

CAB SERVICE IN Nh x,co.

Close Tab on the Different

I'm the City OF Mexico there is
the most complete inspection OF the

"The police in the capital of the

thing for any argument to ever rise
between cabby and his fare. The
stranger speedily finds out that there
is an easy way OF telling the difference
Of tariffs in the public conveyapces.
The cabs are differentiated by the
flags they carry and stripes on the
side OF the vehicle. 1t is color

and red cabs only 75 cents. The blue
flag rigs are of course trifle smart
er and have horses q shade better
than the cheaper ones denoted by the
red dag and crimson stripes. Also
the pilgrim from the United States
must take notice that II the top OF
the carriage is thrown back he must
pay an additional Is cents per hour.
Hack inspectors are kept at regu.
lar stations through the city. When
a cab Is seen to leave the railway
station it Is stopped by one OF these
off3cials, who takes its number, the
number Of passengers, their destina-
ton and the time. This information
goes to the central ONCE and is re-

IS Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should list OF the ingredients OF Pc
funa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, OF whatever school or natl onality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
itandard and well-tried catarrh RENE
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tonic remedies.
That in Quo or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years
experience by physicians of different
schools. There oan be no dispute about
this, Whatever. Peruna Is composed OF
some Of the most efficacious and uni
ycrsally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
OF the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
OF Peruna has reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
rs tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one Of chronic catarrh.
It may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There Is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure

No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full

carry the Kaiser's colors to the front
in the New YOrl-to- Paris race" he
said this afternoon to The New York

last touches on our powerful car at the
works today, and everything is now in
readiness for the start to Hamburg.
