THE JUNE "EVERYBODY,s.

Everybody's June fiction is
rather out of the ordinary. In
the first place, Eleanor Abbott
maintains the standard set bv
her famous prize stories. In
Along the Ripply River" she
tells of love and adventure and
heroism with all her usual vigor.
and out of it all evolves an alb
sOrbingly interesting tale. Robert
Dunn recounts the insubordina-
ton of one of Uncle Sans sail
ors who blondined his hair for
the good of the service. 1t was
wrong of the sailor, but here's
three cheers and a pardon for
THE Peroxide Plugman." Anna
Yeaman Condict tells the dear,
absurd, and wholly delightful
troubles of Johnnie Stillman at
children's party. when Hearts
Are Trumps, she calls it. For
the genuine article in extrava-
giant humor Porter Emerson
Brownies 'The Spectacular Sui
eide of Slothful Slack" runs a
close second to Samuel G.Blythe's
"The Search for a Hard-Boiled
Egg" And in The Lost Lum-
ber Lead" Lucia Chamberlain
has written a story of mystery
and adventure that haunts the
memory.
1t is a far cry from the "Chest-
nut Tree gem about little Mary
and her "tummy-tum-tum" to a
startling recital of the methods
by which dishonest Wall Street
brokers have brought US into
contempt among other nations;
and quite as far a cry from Sam
uel Blythe's "The Search for a
Hard-Boiled Egg" to Forrest
Crissey's bitter arraignment Of
the crooks of the commission
market who cheat the grower
and shipper out of their profits.
But perhaps it is just alterna-
tion of light and shade that
makes this number so universal
in it's appeal.
There is something for every
member of the family. And the
cover, by Howard Chandler
Christy, is a Decoration Day
memorial that will be cut out and
pasted up in many a home. Mrs.
POSTS serial, ''The Title Mar
ket," holds up well, and, aside
from it's love and adventure in
terest, continues to give, quite
without prejudice, a series of re-
markable contrasts between the
lives and ideals of ourselves and
the Latin races. Oddly enough,
she makes one love Italy and the
Italians, at the same time that
she makes one feel a sense of
pity, almost shame, for those of
our girls who marry over there.

From a Newsboy 10 Railroad
Builder and Standard Oh
King.
Baltimore Sun.
The career of Mr.. H. H. Ro.
gers, who died suddenly in New
York yesterday morning, was a
remarkable one. Starting as a
newsboy and then for several
years driving a grocery wagon
at a weekly wage of 50, he
achieved enormous wealth and
reached a position of power
which few men ever attain.
"Seest thou a man diligent in
his business: he shall stand be-
fore kings" This was the ex-
perience of Mr.. Rogers. He was
diligent in his business, and
brought to his undertakings a
mind so powerful, a judgment
so unerring and such rare COM
mon sense that he became a
commander in the business
world. His was an important
figure in the Standard Oil Com
pany, as we'll as in many other
powerful corporations.
But in this part of the country
he is best known as creator of
the Virginian railroad. The
undertaking of Mr.. Flagler, an
other official of the Standard Oil,
in railroad building on the East
Coast of Florida is perhaps the
only enterprise in railroad con-
struction at all comparable with
that of Mr.. Rogers in Virginia.
That a man out of his individ-
ual means should undertake to
build a railroad at least 44O
miles in length at a cost of
about 500, 600 per mile, seemed
to resemble a tale from the
arabian Nights. That he did
not complete it as an Individual
undertaking was due perhaps tC
the occurrence of the business
depression in the very midst of
the work. But of the cost OF
the road Mr.. Rogers put up
over one-half.
Of Mr.. Rogers as an individ
ual and of mis- private life the
public have but little opportun
ity to judge. But his compan.
ionship with Mark Twain gives
a glimpse of him which is pleas
ing. He made his prodigiou.
fortune largely through tn,
agency of the Standard Oh
Comnany. But he invested hi
money in such a way as to bene
fit his fellow countrymen. O.
this the expenditure of $4,000,
600 in building the virginia.
railway is an example.

TRUNK FILLED WITH POTATOES!
Mystery of Chicago Girls Baggage
upsets French Court


Paris, Dec. ia little Chicago girl
named Jane Waller is now supplying
both comedy and tragedy in the Paris
courts. The gravity of the stern mag
istrates was quite upset by the pro-
duction in court of a big Saratoga
trunk which, when opened, was found
to be filled with excellent potatoes.
Miss Waller set out to play the
grande dame, and used a heavy trunk
for the purpose of impressing hotel
keepers. SO we'll did she succeed at
the Hotel Regina and other hotels that
the smartes, Partisan shops delivered
large quantities of valuable goods 10
her order. While playing the role of
the great lady during the day. she
danced every evening at one of the
all-night restaurants of Montmatre uu-
der the name of Janette Waller
This was the comedy of it; the trag-
edy was furnished by an accusation of
poisoning brought against the Chicago
girl by one of the most fashionably
dressed women in Paris-Mme. Cons
paroire-whose business it is to show
off to the best advantage silk and furs
and other salable goods for well-known
establishments. She is what might be
called an out-of- door model. This
put poison in her champagne, and a
chemical analysis attests the truth OF
the accusation. The Chicago girl is ir

prison.
