Real Estate Mortgage Bond
Holders Like Old AppOrtiOn-
ment Better.
1t Will be Up tn Judge Walter
Evans to Decide.
WILL NOT START UP PLANT

Exceptions will be filed to the sale
Of the Mergenthaler-I Horton Basket
Manufacturing company Monday after
noon, to +. Il. Lack, for 1914 ,075.
Some real estate mortgage bond hold
ers are not satisfied with the appor-
comment of the purchase price to their
holdings, which brought less in yes
terday's sale than in the sale several
weeks ago, when the plant was sold
for s25 ,000 to J. A. Bauer.
In the sale that was set aside by
Judge Walter Evans, Mr.. Bauer APP
portioned his bid of s25 900 so that
the real estate mortgage bondholders
would receive the face value of their
bonds, which was something over
$4,000 with the interest, and the re-
mainder went to the personal proper
ty bondholders, some 5000. In yes
terday's sale. Mr.. Lack apportioned
his bid so that the real estate first
mortgage bonds will receive SIS, 14f
and the second mortgage bonds will
receive s1S,93O.
III tht VI iSludi app diothlNht inc
real estate was valued at $4,000
md the personality at SIS ,000 4.
Mr. Lack guaranteed to Judge
Evans that another sale would bring
over $50, 600 and yesterdays sale
brought s4,O75 over that figure.
Some confusion exists about the
bond issues of the company. State
ments that the sale yesterday realized
more for second mortgage bonds than
for first mortgage bonds, are errone-
Gus. as they are all first mortgage
bonds and for each set of bonds sep
irate property was pledged. Later
blanket mortgage of $3.50 900 was is
sued on the whole plant, but this was
enjoined before much of ii had been
noated
1t is not known now whether Judge
Evans will decide the case before he
sails for Europe June "a. If he does
not. It will be late in the fall before
another sale can be held Owing to
the cost of a protracted receivership,
It is probable that Judge Evans will
give an immediate decision.
Local men, 1t is declared, have no
intention of resuming operations.

TOLD BY THE THUMB.
One Way, So They Say, Of Reading q
Persons Character.

One Way, So They Say, Of Reading q
Persons Character.
The closer the thumb is set to the
wrist, the greater the amount of anna
bic qualities a person possesses. And,
conversely, the higher on the hand the
thumb is set, the lower the order of his
mental and moral makeup.
Monkeys thumbs abut from the hand
at a point close to the fingers. The
closer to this formation human being
comes the more monkey-like intelli-
gence and character he is apt to have.
A thumb set very close to the wrist
shows sympathy for all in distress,
great generosity, independence, love Of
liberty for self and others and a readi-
ness to share with the unfortunate.
When the second phalanx of the
thumb is much longer than the nail
phalanx, there is discordant relation
between reason and will.
Reason preponderates to such an ex-
tent that the entire life is spent in
planning what to do without ever do
ing.
A person of this kind sees clearly
what is best for him, but lacks de-
termination to put it into execution.
He sees the goal and the steps neces-
sary for attaining it, but in the same
glance he takes in all the obstacles,
and while he is bordering the matter
the opportunity to win success escapes.

THE HYPNOTIC EYE.

And the Man Who Likes to Test II on
the Circus Animate.
The man who wants to test the DOW
or Of the human eye on savage beasts
Is legion, and he affords no end Of
amusement for the attendants at the
circus, who are always ON the lookout
for him. Often he may be detected
standing before the cage Of a lion,
gazing intently straight into the eyes
Of the dignifed old beast, who gazes
back with Indifference and finally
shifts his eyes, not because he feels
any mystic influence, but because
something else has attracted his at
tention.
A story is told of man who tried
the hypnotic trick on an ostrich. At
first the bird crouched down and fut-
tered his wings nervously, but made
no other manifestation for. some time.
A few hours later the body of the
man was found, with the huge bird al
ternately stamping and sitting on it.
Another is told of a man who tried to
outgaze leopard, with the result that
the animal made fierce charge
against the bars of his cage and at the
man, and the two created a disturb
ance that brought the attendants hur-
rying to investigate the trouble.-Har-

An Exchange, of Presents That Was

John Mitchell, the labor leader, was

face, but really it was like the deal of
Harvey Barr of Braidwood.
Harvey Barr, successful lawyer,
had a wonderful talent for getting the
best Of people. Even at home he kept
this talent in play. His wife said to
him one morning:
"'Harvey, dear, this is the fifteenth
anniversary of our wedding. What
are you going to give me"
"'This is what l am going to give
you,' Harvey answered affectionately.
and he handed his wife SIS in crisp,
fresh bills.

it carefully. But as the evening wore
on his wife seemed i'll at ease.

Rhodes and Matrimony.

Cecil Rhodes at one time had a prf
vate secretary of whom he entertained
high opinion and whose services he
greatly valued. One fine morning thu
favorite abruptly announced that he
was going to be married. The colossus
was speeches. with indignation for q
moment. and then, glaring at the cul.
prit, he growled out, What on earth
am l going to do for another secre.

Without waiting for a reply he strobe
from the room, slamming the door be
hind him with great violence. His
good nature, however. prompted him to
extend the forgiving hand later on.
and he gave to the bride some fine
diamonds. In addition, he lent them
his own carriage and horses for use to
and from the church.
1t never entered his head to give his
erstwhile favorite secretary any more

mony, though forgiven. could not be

Politics A Losing Game.

The number of new men in the Re-
publican national convention was
noted by several writer's, who COM
mented upon the fate of the old
wheel horses of the party who
had been left by the wayside, either
by the fight of time or the ingratitude
of their fellows.
The game of politics is thus shown
to be a losing one. Nothing that en-
cages the energies and talents of able
men gives such unsatisfactory re-
turns. The general who is wounded
in war is rewarded by promotion, by
decorations of merit, and by the
thanks of his country. The business
man who throws one-half as much
eagerness and intensity of purpose
into his business as the politician is
successful as rule. The profession
al man, using equal vital force, forges
to the front, and each successful eff
fort is the stepping stone to higher
things. But the politician, once dis
abled by events, is thrust aside. Past
efforts count for nothing with him.
They are often, indeed, positive ham
dicap to his advancement The kali
eidoscope of politics is forever change
ing, forever bringing in new combina-
lions of men and events. Nothing is
so absorbing to those whose bent OF
mind leads them into it, and nothing
is so unfruitful of the things that are
priced among men. The best that the
politician may hope for is public Of
fee, with meager salary, and the con-
slant fear of dismissal.
Many of them have given their lives
to such efforts and in some cases their
motives have been of the highest; yet
the end has been poverty and OBJ
security. They have become the sports
of younger spirits, tagging superfuous
upon the stage long after the bell of
their recall has been sounded.
What tragedies might be written il
the ambitious of politicians and their
disappointments could be laid barrel

MEMS COSTUMES.
The Change That Came When Powder
and Snuff Went Out.

The Change That Came When Powder
and Snuff Went Out.
The French revolution had it's effect
upon the fashions of 1900 as well as
upon matters of more weighty import
the tendency being greatly to simplify
costumes. Young men in England
adopted the short coat, light waist
coat and pantaloons inaugurated in
Paris by certain set who affected to
despise the old court fashion.
The use Of powder, made more ex-
pensive by taxation, quite died out, and
short hair became universal.
Trousers and Wellington boots. at
drst worn only by the military, were
adopted by civilians about 1914, and
the dandy of the early Victorian era
wore his tightly strapped down. He
also prided himself on his starched
collar, which had gone out Of favor
under George ~, who preferred a
black silk kerchief or stock.
The snuffb0x vanished, and the char
acteristic ornament Of the age was the
bunch Of seals hanging from the watch
chain. Various notifications took
place from time to time during Queen
victoria's long reign, but the form of
mems dress practically remained I'M
altered.
