HE CALLED A
LAWSON BLUFF
BUT WALL STREET MAN FAILED
TO GET A LOOK AT THE CARDS.

There is a well known member of
the financial community who is
chuckling over having called a Law
son bluff all by himself, and finally
forced the Boston advertiser to a
showdown. 1t came about in this
way:
Some time ago, when the investi-
cation of trading methods in the
stock and commodities markets was
declared by Governor Hughes, Mr..
Lawson announced in a large adver-
tisement in several financial publica-
tions that he would sell 20 stock ex-
change seats at 100000 each, about
$4,000 lower than the last sale
The Wall street man thought that
If Mr.. Lawson had any seats at his
disposal it was good thing to pick
up few cheap. AS membership of
the exchange is limited and all the
seats are taken the only transfer pos
sible is personal transfer subject to
the approval of the exchange authori-
ties and any block of seats under a
single control would be a rarity. A
letter was sent to Boston Offering
to buy one or more of the seats on
the terms quoted There was no an
swer. The Wall street man insisted,
writing again and again. Still no
answer came
Finally, within the last few days,
he has received a reply from Mr..
Lawson's secretary. 1t said that all
of the seats covered by his recent
offer had been sold. The Wall street
man and several of his friends on the
exchange are now awaiting with some
interest to see when the transfers
are made. They do not expect, how
ever, that the exchange will be dis
turbed by any invasion of Lawson's
customers in the near future.-New

SECRETARIES TO THE BRAIN.

Habit is the requirement of a ma
chine-like or automatic power OF
performing certain duties. Actions
which we have at first to exercise our
intellectual centers to be able to per-
form are ultimately discharged with
out any reference to our mind or
consciousness.
Indeed, when the intellect comes to
interfere with the automatic perform
be less perfectly executed than when
the machinelike activity of the brain
is permitted to have it's sway. Take
the case of reading, writing and spell
ing; at first we have to acquire these
gifts through exercise of close intel
lectual attention; later on they are
automatically performed.
We do not after the childish stage
of education require to bethink our
selves over the shape of letters, the
sound of syllables or the formation
of words by act of the pen Clearly
what was at first an intellectual act
has become purely mechanical.
Also in exercising the other "R'
and in doing sum we arrive at a
correct solution without having to
think out the rationale of the opera
ton, as we did when taught arithme-
tic at school. The saving of the in
tellectual centers which deal with
questions and affairs of moment must
be enormous in consequence of this
division of labor. The centers in
question are left free to exercise
judgment and to engage in the high
est operations of our conscious life.
In the brain structure we actually
find centers which discharge these
automatic duties and play the part of
private secretaries to the head of the
mental firm. Even when we come
to higher brain operations a like
principle prevails.
Centers are set apart for govern
ing muscles, others receive messages
from organs of sense, and others
again, sitting in the judgment seat,
report upon information received

SOMETHING ABOUT REAL TO
BACCO.

Henry Fielding, the father of the
English novel, the author of that
naughtiest and delightfulest story,
Tom JONES'" ventured the opinion
that some slight knowledge of a
theme would not be disadvantageous
to him that would discuss it, or mat
ter of that import. The Springfield
Republican, in the following remarks
on American tobacco, discovers that
it has very imperfect acquaintance
with the subject:
1T is odd that smokers should go
to England for the finest American
tobacco. There is no better leaf in
the world than Virginia and the
neighboring states offer, but to get
it in perfection one goes not to Rich
mond, but to London. A London
manufacturer whose brands have an
international reputation explained
this the other day on the ground that
Americans are too much in a hurry
to get the best results-good tobac-
co is not made in hurry. The leaf
is left several years to ripen under
the best attainable conditions, and
the blends are made with much care,
not in the last stage, but from the
beginning. The leaves that will give
the fragrant and rich mixture are
married long before they are cut up
by the workman. All this costs and
keeps capital locked up, which is con-
trary to American ideas, but it is
the secret, he said, to the success of
British manufacture.
There is no doubt that the best
American tobacco exported goes to
England; but there is equally little
doubt that the best American tobac-
co never leaves Kentucky, where it
is chewed and smoked by the far
mers who grow it.
Tobacco, like the turnip, demands
virgin soil to reach the highest per-
lection, ard it demands the tenderest
care to attain to highest excellence.
OF all the crops grown by the hus-
bandman it calls for the most one
rous labor. 1t undergoes no less
than IA processes, from the seed to
the marketed product, all of them
requiring intellectual skill and nearly

ONE METHOD FOR ADVERTISING
VALLEY.

S. B. Littleton reports very sue
cessful method of advertising the
valley which should appeal to the
World readers who have come here
from the east and who have neigh
bors there who would be interested
to hear of their welfare.
Mr.. Littleton was lately visited by
his father, who, after visit and q
thorough sightseeing trip over the
valley, returned to Brockton, Mass.
The return of the elder man was
announced in the paper and many
called on him for first hand informa-
ton about the northwest, so many
in fact that the younger Mr.. Little
ton wrote a letter to his home paper
telling how, why and when he came
here and about the beauty and op-
portunities of the country, ending
with an invitation to call on him for
information.
Since then his father reports a
steady stream of visitors to his Of
flee and the editor of the paper states
the sale for that day on which the
letter appeared was the largest in
the history of the paper So many
letters have come to the younger
man that he has been busy during
most of his Office hours answering
questions regarding prices of land
material, labor. etc. Brockton is a
city of $4,000 people engaged in
shoemaking and most of the in
quirers have from $500 to $4,000 TO
start west with, and there would be
no question that they would invest
Immediately on seeing our valley
which most of them announce an in
tention of doing the coming spring.
His missionary work has been so
successful that Mr.. Littleton recon-
nfends the writing of such a letter
10 the home paper of any of the east
ern settlers who have found the val
ley enough to their liking to wish
TO help boost. He would be pleased
to assist anyone interested with a
copy of his letter or the use of his
typewriter at his Office on the corner
of Palouse and Wenatchee avenue.

HEROIC DOG NOW
IN WENATCHEE
MISS JEAN CHANCE OF THE
ROOSEVELT HOTEL HAS DOG
WITH HER WHICH SAVED HER
LIFE.

Many volumes have been written
on the question of whether dogs have
souls or any kind of Intelligence.
Every once in a while an incident oc-
ours which proves more than volumes
of learned discussion. At the pres
ent time there is a dog in this city
which has been eulogized the world
over by the leading newspapers as a
real hero and the possessor of re-
markable intelligence. In acknowl-
edgement of his heroic action of saw
ing two lives, this dog now wears a
big brass collar which was given him
by the Humane Society of Columbus,
Ohio. His owner, Miss Jean Chance,
is now in Wenatchee visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. J. J. Griffith, former pro-
prietress of the Roosevelt hotel.

Chance this morning to reporter of
/ the World, that | came to the city
! of Columbus, Ohio, and registered at
large rOoming house. | had my
dog with me-his, name is Smiler-
and was very much disguised at the
management of the hotel because

main in my room. He was a most af-
! fectionate animal and my most con-
DY,t INN

tions elsewhere and Smiler was domi-
ciled in the cellar
Several times | had noticed the
fumes of gas about the house, and
had called the attention of the man
ager to this fact, but nothing was
done to look into the matter. Final
ly, | was awakened one night by a
scratching sensation on my face, but
only aroused myself from deep slum-
Der by great effort. Feeling blood
on my face, it dawned over me at
last that l was being asphyxiated by
gas. Then | saw Smiler on the floor
at my bedside, and realized that he
had been trying to arous me. BY eX-
IRENE effort | was able to crawl to
the room adjoining, where a gentle
man was sleeping, and, after beating
him violently, awoke him from the
dangerous slumber. Opening a win
dow, l yelled with all my might, and
at the same time flames and smoke
burst forth on all sides. Very soon
the brave firemen rescued us from
the burning building, and we were
placed in the hands of those who
soon revived us.
"Smiler was in the worst condi
ton of ALL His fine coat of black,
curly hair was burnt off, his feet were
burned to the bone. Kind-hearted
people sent him to the hospital, and
he was cared for there three weeks
as attentively as though he were the
most distinguished citizen of Column

ers were sent every day, and the
newspapers kept the public constantly
informed of his condition"

MRS. COULTER
BEATS CHAMPION

Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt
that she was in a class by herself,
Mrs. Coulter nee Horner easily and
decisively defeated Miss Miriam Hall
in two straight tennis matches Sat
urday afternoon on the courts of the
Beretania Club.
Mrs. Coulter has not played tennis
for a number of years until she
started to practice for the match with
Miss Hall on Saturday, and consider
ing that she has been out of the game
for so long her victory is ali the more
deserved.
At no time during the match, was
she iii any danger of being defeated,
and it will no doubt be a long time
before any one will be able to defeat
her at the game.
Although Miss Hall was beaten on
Saturday, she retains the title won
this fall, and if she wishes to defend
it she will have to return here next
year orlet the title go by default
From a spectacular point Of view
the exhibition was one long to be re-
membered. Mrs. Coulter's service,
fore and back hand strokes were
worthy of the great mainland player
Miss Sutton, and a number OF people
present who have seen both play say
that Mrs. Coulter could defeat the
great California player.

BALLOON To FLY
ACROSS ATLANTIC

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Joseph
Brucker, whose project for crossing
the Atlantic ocean in a dlrigible bal
loon attracted some attention last
spring, now makes the announcement
from Berlin that the trial will be made
within the next six months.
in a letter to the Aero club of
America, Brucker states that Doctor
Gaus, president of the Automobile
club of Munich, is backing the en-
terprise and that large dirigible
balloon is being built. He suggests
that the Aero club of America offer
a prize for the first aeronaut to make
the transatlantic trip. 1t IS Bruck-
ers plan to follow the course taken
by Columbus.
The transatlantic air craft
carry three or four men and will be
equipped with lifeboats and other
safety devices. 1t will be followed
by speedy gunboats or other craft.
