Meaning Of the Terms Folio, ouarto,

The words folio" "quarto." "octa.

almost. II not quite, lost their original

ed twice, so as to form four leaves,
the book was called quarto; If they
We're folded four times, so as to form
eight leaves, the book was called an
octave, and so on.
The duodecimo, or 12mo. Is an ir.
regular size. TO make it the sheet
must be folded so as to form twelve
leaves. Fold one-third OF the width
of sheet lengthwise OH itself. Next
fold the paper across its breadth in
the center Next fold the sheet across
its length-that is, fold the two leaves
on the four. Finally fold II again

easily be sewed in with others to form

fore the invention of machines for

sheets.
But when paper making machines
were introduced and the use of molds
was abandoned sheets came to be
made of all dimensions. AS result
quartos and octavos had all sorts of
dimensions, and the terms, when used

Controlled Whatever He Touched.
After reading all that list one can
wonder not only that he died SO soon.
but that he lived SO long. for be 1t
understood that Edward II. Hartman
was no mere perfunctory director.
Whatever he touched he controlled
either that or something broke. He
was not dummy. Nor could he have
controlled all these properties, only n
fraction of which he could have owned
personally, unless his business asssci-
ates rcposed the greatest confidence
in his integrity and ability. 1t was
his power of organization. of construc-

whole country as It related to railroad

WHATS THIS
Sailor Says DR.. Cook was
Not Away From the
Ship Three Days.

Liverpool, Sept. 9-The Liverpool
Post today prints an interview with
n Scotch sailor named John Barclay,
who claims to nave been one OF DR..
Frederick A. Cooks sailors when he
sailed in search of the pole. Only the
fact that Barclays dates and facts
are badly jumbled, prevents the in
terview from proving sensational. as
he alleges that Cook was never away
from the ship more than three days
at a time.
The concensus of opinion is that
Barclay is romancing. He says that
Cook engaged him at Reylsjavik, Ice
land in May 1906, fhereas Cook did
bot leave the United States on his
expedition until July 1907.

Friend of Children.
Perhaps the only beings with whom
Edward ii. Hartman the man ever
entirely unbent were children. In New
York he was the head Of great boys
institution, sort Of combined gym
nasium, club and debating society. for
more than quarter Of century.
At Arden he was never so happy as
when lie had an automobile load OF
little ones and was spinning about the
countryside. To them he was not the
cold business machine known to the
world. He was Pop" Hartman, their
comrade and friend. Perhaps he was
so unreserved with the children be-
cause they did not ask him leading
questions and try to take away his
money. In the country he was as God
made him. In business he was as Wall
street made him. There Is differ
ence here. one that will appear greater
the more It is contemplated.
Great Constructive Genius.
The best two things about Mr.. Har.
riman were that he was constructive
and had a national view Of things. He
wns, not alone stock maniprlator,
but builder. History must give him
this credit. 1t Is questionable IL we
have had any greater railroad build
ers than he. The manner In which he
took the rundown and bankrupt Union
Pacific, went over the ground and saw
the business there was for the line,
coupled with the subsequent courage
and energy he displayed In pouring
hundreds of millions into straighten-
ing aud improving the road, showed a
constructive genius of the first order
Ruthless he might have been. yet the
fact that he did things, and big things
at that, must be told to his praise.
The story of bridging Great Salt lake
and draining the Salton sea is not one
that could be told of every man. not
even of every railroad king. He touched
most OF the properties that came un-
der his control only to build them up.
Overcapitalize he probably did. al
though he called 1t capitallzing the fu-
ture. Used Wall street methods, some
of them of doubtful kind-with this
his enemies charged him. And Harri-
man had enemies, bitter and big ones,
with Theodore Roosevelt. ex-president
OF the United States, at their head. II
Is perfectly true that In the world OF
men he had more foes that hated him
than friends that loved him. Yet when
THIS Is said we cannot forget those
east side boys In New York nor those
shouting children at Arden. A man
that loves child aud Is loved by IL In
return cannot be all bad,
Harriman's national vision was
shown In manifold ways. Though
born near New York city and living
in or about II all bis life, he did not
have the New York viewpoint. lie
