"The extraordinary offer to which

The extraordinary offer to which
you have responded was made in COM
pliance with the will of our late client.
Mr.. Benjamin F. Morton. He was a
trifie eccentric, and one of his hobbies
was writing poetry. He took a great
fancy to a nephew of his and spared
no money to have the boy well edu-
Gated. The old gentleman himself had
very limited education, and he was
determined that his nephew should
not be handicapped as he had been.
Well, just about the time the boy got
through college the cid gentleman
struck a snag in this poem of his
about Fedora Lillian Hildegarde ct al,
and he called upon his nephew to help
him out with rhyme for Rachel
The young man informed him that
there was no such rhyme, but his
uncle refused to believe it. He insist
ed that as the lad had had a college
education he could find a rhyme if he
chose. Well, the upshot of it was that
the old gentleman took it into his
head that his nephew was obstinate
and ungrateful, and he cast him off. A
short time before he died, however, he
nnally concluded that perhaps there
really was no rhyme for Rachel and
ne decided to reinstate his nephew in
his will; but with this proviso: That
a rhyme should first be advertised for
and that should any person produce
such rhyme within a year, then the
money should go to such person, in
stead Of the nephew.
AS the executors. we, of course, fol.
lowed the provisions of the will, but
we were definitely satisfied there was
no such rhyme. And yet you say you

The people of the present day have
witnessed a revolution In the meth
ods OF preparing food, and with all the
Facilities at their command. including
gas and electric ranges, broilers and
boilers, dough-mixing machines, meat
choppers. kitchen cabinets and dish
washing machines, the labor neces-
sary to prepare even the most elabo-

imum. Cooking schools, which orig
mated in England in the latter part
OF the nineteenth century. have been
established in all parts of the world,
ana there is hardly city in the

the gospel of scientific cookery. Yet

YANKEE INGENUITY GROWS.

The yankee genius for invention
loses none of its fertility by reason of
the heavy yield it produces year after
year. In point of fact, the patent Of
nee records show that there were
5000 more applications for patents
last year than during the previous
year, bringing the total number grant.
ed to date up to 100000. Three years
hence, unless there is an unlooked-for
slump, the total will have passed the
l,OOO,OOO mark. Does invention pay?
Ihis question has been answered in the
negative by those best qualified to
Judge, though it is a matter not easy
to determine. What with reckoning
the time spent in devising a patent
able article, often the work of years,
the outlay for models, attorney and
patent Office fees, and, most of all, for
putting the inventions on the market,
IL looks doubtful that the grantees of
the $4,000 patents issued last year,
VIII, on the whole, reap a pecuniary
reward. To this must be added the
outlay OF as many thousand more
whose applications were rejected. A
Few, OF course, will strike it rich, but
depleted pocketbooks and sore disap-
pointment await the many.

Happenings
Of january

The first month in the year has al
ways been a Hateful one in English
history. but it began most specially to
De recognized as such during the reign
OF Charles /. 1t was on January 4
1912, that the attempt was made to
arrest the five members. On the tenth
OF the month. three years later, Arch
bishop Laud, was beheaded, and jan
uary 30, 1649. saw the kings own head
laid upon the block.
There is probably no act of parIia-
ment which has ever been the cause
OF such amazing dissensions and dis
cord as that which brought about the
union between Great Britain and Ire
land. This came into force upon jan
uary /, 1901. 1t was in the same
month that Richard Trevithick. the
Cornish inventor, perfected the first
steam locomotive which ever moved
upon an English road.
The great William Pitt, the most
able prime minister who ever con.
trolled the destinies of the kingdom

and died in January. 1906. His great
rival. Charles James Fox, born in Jan.
uary, 1749. only survived Pitt six
months.
One of the greatest boons that a ma
ton ever received from its govern
ment was conferred upon Great Britain
on January 1, 1S40-namely, penny
postage. Adhesive stamps had been
invented by Mr.. James Chalmers of
Dundee, six years previously. and
these superseded Mulready's envelope
later In the same year.
January has for a long time mast
been very notable month in the his
tory of the British royal family. On
January rs, 1858. the Princess ROYAL
was married to Prince Frederick VIII
liam of Prussia. The German kaiser
was born in January. 1859.
Prince Henry of Battenberg's death
occurred on January 20, 1896, and the
duke OF Teck's life came to an end ON
the twenty-first of the month, 1900.

One year later, on January %, 1901,
came the end of the most famous reign
in English or any other history. Queen
Victoria died at $50 on the fateful
evening.
In northern ATTITUDES no nation
fights in winter If it can possibly be
avoided, and yet January has seen
some of the toughest struggles of mod
ern war. January, 1871, holds the rec
ord for fierce fighting. During that
month there were no fewer than six
terrific battles between the French
and the Germans. The last was Gen.
Trochu's grand sortie from Paris,
which ended in his defeat and in the
extinction of the last hopes of Paris
and her citizens.

A Resolution
CO for ID
New Years

The noblest resolution that any citi
zen could make for the new year
would be the resolution to live more
faithfully by the golden rule, that sub
lime principle of conduct for this
world and for all worlds. Failure to
live by this law causes the chief sor.
rows and collisions among men, says
Edwin Markham in Success.
Let each earnest man search into
his words and ways, determined to
ind the special manner in which he
breaks the golden law-his special
habit that works injustice or unhappi-
ness in his shop, his office, his home.
his city. He will find, perhaps, that
in the shop he is in the habit of mis-
placing tools, and this binders the
work of his comrades; that in the Of
fee he Is in the habit of being late
In keeping appointments, and thus
steals other peoples time; that in the
club he is In the habit of belittling
worthy competitors, and thus Joins the
gang of thieves who steal regulations.
that in the home he is in the habit of
monopolizing the conversation, and
thus fails to draw out the powers of
others; that in the city he is in the
habit of splitting on the sidewalk. and
thus spoils the comfort of his towns
men; that in business he is in the
habit of misrepresenting his goods.
and thus robs under the cover of GUS
