GRANDPA

Grandpa lived with his daugh-
ter. He was very old and pal
sled. His hand shook so much
that when eating he not only spill
ed his food, but also broke many
dishes by letting them fall. This
was very displeasing to his fas-
tidious daughter.
One day she bought him
wooden dish and spoon. He had
his meals served to him alone
from these dishes on a table In
the corner.
One day as mother passed her
little son she saw he was very
deeply occupied whiting q piece

joke. but mighty interesting one, isn't
It? But of no application to your affairs and
mine, of course.
Well. let's see In 1881 or thereabouts.
Henry O. Havemeyer combined refineries capt.
talized at $6,500.000 in the first sugar trust.
A third of them were dismantled and shut down
and never used again. They were worthless.
most $4,000.000 Havemeyer, having a keen
appetite for a joke, issued $50,000,000 against
these bat-roosts and owl-cages, and having all
the refineries in the country but one, proceeded
to earn dividends You see there was q tariff of
about 80 per cent ad valorem-78 per cent in
the Payne bill-and Havemeyer lightly laughing
at the Joke, was able to make every person in
the United States pay part Of these dividends
with every spoonful Of sugar used.
After while the law made him dissolve
the trust, and he was put to the trouble of going
across the river into New Jersey to reorganize.
1t was vexatious; he issued $25, 00O, 900 more
of stock to pay himself. Still the people paid
the dividends, and his original 100000 of
junk was behaving like Welshs quarter. After
while he issued SIS 900. 900 more stock just
to heighten the effect, and now, although his
concern has lost in proportion of sugar pro.
duced, falling from go per cent when the first
trust was formed to 81 per cent now, his origi-
nal 25 cents-no. 100000 mean, of
course-nas now swollen to $145,000,000 on
which the people of this day. and their chill
dren's children seem likely to have to pay divi-
dends. He started with four millions more
than Welsh did, but he still has eleven millions
more than is owing Welsh, in securities.
And why is the Havemeyer paper any bet
ter than the Swartz-Welsh paper, in the realm
of morals? Is there any reason why? Just
mention 1t II there is.
OF course, the Havemeyer paper is better
on the stock exchange. Swartz can't pay his
note. even if he is asked The American people
can pay the Havemeyer paper, and will If they
eat sugar; unless
Unless what? Unless the people should
happen to develop sense. Unless they cease to
be fooled by the cry of stocks and bonds in the
hands of widows and orphans" Unless they
come to think more of the widows and orphans
who eat sugar than of those who clip coupons
As matter of course, when the Havemeyer
paper comes to be scrutinized by the people,
the payment of dividends or not is quite within
the peoples hands. They are going to leave
children and children's children here to do the
job. If it looks like fair deal to do 1t. Our
guess is that the more enlightened people of
the future will choose to take care of their
widows and orphans in some less expensive
way. ~.

Two Jokes

Chas. L. Swartz Of st. Louis is the VIC
tim OF practical joke by which he is in debt
20 Geo. M Welsh of Cincinnati in the sum of
4134.217,728.
In December, 1879, he gave a note for a
quarter he borrowed, and agreed to pay 100 per
cent per annum. 1t has gone on doubling and
doubling until it amounts to as much as
the balance In gold required to be maintained
In the United States treasury. At a thousand
dollars year. 1t would take Swartz $4,000
years to pay the twenty-five cents and interest.
Probably Welsh will refrain from making
his old friend work for him $4,000 years.

IN THE NURSERY


A child should be encouraged
to stretch its limbs and crawl
about. as such activity promotes
circulation and develops its mus
|cles. The little one should be
rubbed all over, night and morn
ing, with the palm Of the hand.
This Is an excellent practice, espe-
|cially at night, when It will often
induce sleep in a child that is ex-
|citable and nervous. n
The temperature of an infants
! bath ought always to be deter
mined by bath thermometer. The
bath should be given at 95 to 100
degrees for the first few months;
lido not lower the temperature oil
Ithe bath because the day happens
to be warm. Put baby into the
bath, using plenty of water. This
lis much more rapid and effective
than any sponging process. Give
baby q second dip In the evening
before he is put to sleep. Never
fall to do this in warm weather.

THE INSURANCE
MANS SCHEME
BY A. Mum Amos.

The Insurance Man had been
doping his system with psychology
and he made up his mind one day
to work form of auto suggestion
on his victim.
He had been camping on
Browns trail winter and summer,
all to no purpose. Now he was
going to stop all monkey business
and show Brown that he could
have made him come through long
ago, but was just endeavoring in
his plain, unassuming way to be
the gentleman.
He came into Browns office
with the air of man who knows
what he's about or would like
to learn the reason why. He
pulled out long sheet of paper,
drew chair up alongside the lit
tie table near Browns big roll top
desk, spread the sheet of paper
out before him, and began to ask
questions.
Lets see; what is your full
name, Brown" he inquired, cas-
|ually.
Brown gave him a queer look,
but told him all three of his
names, smilingly.
Then the Insurance Man asked
Brown the exact date of his birth,
whether married or single, the
ages Of his father and mother at
the time of their death, what they
died of, and lot more interroga-
lions, all of which Brown answer
led Just as cheerfully as II he had
been giving testimony In COW
case before a justice Of the peace.
The Insurance Man noted that
he had his big application blank
nearly filled. He chuckled to him.
