BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Com.
pany a Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on sound principle, rather
than money, is pest illustrated by the re-
production of the following biographical
sketch of Frederick Mayer, founder of the
F. Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, repro
duced from an issue of the German
American National Alliance:
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear
ing his name, came to this country from
Niernstein, Hessen Darmstadt, in May,
1851, and immediatel, proceeded to Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, where he entered the en-
ploy of r. Suhm as journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the new world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1852,
a year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only German apprenticed arti-
san knows how Subsequently a stock of
goods was carried and retail business con-
Quoted until 1880, when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at wholesale to the
trade.
In 1890 the business was well established,
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
well determined. From that time on the
growth was more rapid. The capacity of
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 5000 pair per day, giving en-
ployment to an army of people, paying an
nually over six hundred thousand dollars in
wages, and employing sixty-fve statesmen
who travel "a states in the interest of
Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March l6, 1893,
after building up large and successful
business. He is succeeded by his sons,
George P. Mayer, Fred J. Mayer and Adam
j. Mayer, who, by rigidly maintaining the
policy of the founder, have succeeded in
bringing the business up to its present
of German thrift and industry.

THE EARRINGS.
Friendly Birds s.

the fear of man in their hearts, and
are difficult to approach, but others
show no great concern. The Alaskan
jays, for instance, are devoted camp
followers. 'They proved useful as
scavengers," says Mr.. Osgood, land
them even more than raw meat. They
many times hoped about the campfire
or perched on the tent poles and
ropes. Their harsh chattering was
not always pleasant, but was some
what atoned for by their less FIRE
quent soft whistle and their pert and
confident ways, so on the whole their
presence was welcomed"

An Anecdote of Success.

Of Melville E. Stone, Chicago ed
itor said the other day:
stone, like all successful journal.
lists, loves his work. He would sacri-
flee anything to it. Talking about
love of work in the Associated Press
office in New York, he said, with a
smile, that he could almost sympa-
thize with the notorious Australian
boy.
This boy, a resident of Perth, saw
his father kill his mother and then
commit suicide. The boy suppressed
the news for several hours while he
tried to tell an awful tragic story in
1,5OO words to the Perth papers. But
his enterprise missed cash; the papers
feared a fake and wouldn't deal.
"'But fancy said Mr.. Stone, fancy
such boy wasted on community of
sand-gropers. What loss to Park
Row."

Is your pitiful little thirteen beside THAR
Too Much for Pcte.
Pete's pistol dropped TO the floor and ex-
ploded, taking off part Of the shoe Of one
OF the loafers. Another secured the gun
and started for a pawnshop without a
word Of remonstrance from the terror of
koutt county. Pete was dumbfoundcd. en-
thralled. UP a stump. The stranger went
on:
"Then there was the fearful giant in the
land Of Brittany, an occount Of which may
be found on page a., King Arthur went
to the crest Of the hill and saw where the
giant sat at supper, gnawing the limb OF
a mar and baking his huge frame by the
fire, while three damsels turned three
splits, whereupon were spitted like larks

about eating a man for breakfast every
morning? How. in these degenerate days,

Coyote Pete was nearly rounded up by
this time. He dropped limp and gasping.
into a convenient chair. Am I a bad man.
or is the stranger making fun OF me?'
Pete partly recovered himself at the awful
thought that he and not the stranger was
being made a victim. He reached mechan-
ically for his gun. but it was missing.
The stranger took no notice of Pete's con-
dition. He went on:
Here on page lS Il tells OF q really re.
msrkable adventure Of Sir Lancelot's. at
the time he took the part OF King Bag
demagus against the king of Northgales.
with tina came Sir Lancelot and thrust
into the thickest Of the press and smote
down with one spear five knights and
brake the backs Of four, and cast down the
king of Northgales and brake his thigh
by the fall. When the three knights Of
Arthur's court saw this they rode at Sir
Lancelot and each after other attacked
him; but he overthrow them all and smote
them nigh to death. Then, taking a new
spear, he bore down to the ground six
teen more knights and hurt them all so
sorely that they could carry arms no more
that day. And when his spear was at
length broken he took yet another and
smote down twelve knights more, the most
of whom he wounded MORALLY"
"And yet you pretend to be a bad man,
Here, turn around and let me register my
candid opinion of you
Coyote Pete turned around, but he did not
wait to- be kicked. He started for the door,
but fell into the welcoming arms Of the city
marshal, and was theoretically deposited
in the calaboose by that official. The next
morning the police judge fined Pete $40
and costs, and advised him to go home,
where he would be safe. And Pete, hav-
ing Just money enough left to pay his fare
back to Wolcott, accepted good advice
for the first time in his life.
1t was finally ascertained that the man
with the book was a professor in a country
college in Illinois, who had come to Col
orado for his health and incidentally
to study human nature. 1t was supposed
that it was the latter avocation that took
him into the saloon.-New York Sun.

THE LAWYERS FOOLED HIM
VIII Strives to Cheat the
Lawyers and Gets GlOri-
OusIy Left.

Joseph Goetz, an eccentric capitalist, who
died in San Francisco last year, drafted his
own will, thereby raising a fine crop Of
legal questions to engage the attention Of
Judge Coffey and the lawyers. The distri
button of an estate worth about $4,000 is
involved i'm the unravelment of the puzzle
created by Goetz. Attorneys for several Of
the beneficiaries under the will won a point
in Judge Coffey's court, a decision In their
favor being given, the result of which is to
reduce the number of those who share in
the residue of the estate by excluding four
devisees to whom valuable Chinatown
property was given by the will.
Goetz. more confident of himself than OF
lawyers. gathered a collection of newspa-
per clippings referring to supreme court
decisions in inheritance matters and in
corporated much of the language OF the
court into his will. He succeeded In Civ
ing rise to many intricate questions Of law
and casting a cloud over his intentions as
to the distributions f his property.
The words 'devisees' and 'legatees" he
used indiscriminatSJy. The will declares all
legatees 10 be residuary legatees. To one
woman legatee Goetz willed a few family
photographs, but she declares she is also
entitled to share in the residue OF the es-
tate. II the claim be allowed this legatee
will receive $4,000, although 1t Is plain
Goetz's Intention was TO leave her nothing
but the pictures.
Goetz left no widow or children. The
beneficiaries named in the will were rel
atives. most OF whom reside out OF the
state.-ssn Francisco Globe.
