HIS THE BIGGEST STORE,
Henry G. Selfridge, American Mer-
chants Invasion of London.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-The first great
American merchant to invade England
is Henry g. Selfridge. He has just COM
pleted and gotten nicely under way the
largest store in London. He is spend
ing a few days in Chicago. In an inter-
view he said today:
American merchants have much to
learn from their British rivals. not
withstanding the general impression
that British methods are antiquated II
spite of many customs which obviously
deserve that adjective there is one
thing in which Britons surpass Ameri-
cans. That is in the Identity of repre-
sentation with fact. London merchants
as rule are scrupulous in never mis-
representing the quality of their goods
and the public has come to rely as
wholly on the word of merchant as
on that of a judge.
II do not mean to say that this
feature is not characteristic of Ameri-
can merchants, but 1t is virtually uui-
versal in London.
But we Americans can teach the
British merchant many things to his
advantage. One thing I have learned
since I have been abroad is that hui
man nature is the same everywhere
Local conditions are different in Lon
don from what they are in Chicago
but the human animal Is just the same
in both cities. What appeals to al
Americana speak of merchandising
of course-will as surely appeal to q
Briton if it is skillfully brought to his
attention.

HE LOVED TOO WELL.
Montana Boy Suicide Because of Quar-
rel With Topeka Girl.

A lovers wrangle in which his rival
played a prominent part today result
ed in the suicide of Frank Thompson,
aged 81, farm hand employed by
Charles Peck, who resides five miles
southeast of Topeka.
Thompson, following his arrival
here six weeks ago from Montana, be-
tame enamoured of Miss Ruth Flana-
san who lives at Highland Park, and
was extremely jealous of her. Last
night he visited her at which time
they quarreled. Then he returned to
the farm where he worked, took
chloroform, and was found uncon-
scious this morning. He died later.
When Thompson came here six
weeks ago from Montana he claimed
to have herd of horses there. Men
ton of this property was made in a
note left by him and addressed to the
girl, in which he asked to be buried in
Montana, also signified his wish that
the girl with whom he had quarreled,
should have the herd of horses. The
note follows:
BURY me in Montana and give my
horses to Ruth.-Frank Thompson"
The quarrel between the couple is
said to have been the outcome of a dis
cussion in which another sutton for the
Rand of the girl figured. Thompson
be came respondent as a result of the
arrangement and after his return to
his place of employment penned the
brief note, then set about putting into
execution his resolve to shuttle off this
mortal coil.
Little is known here of the past life
of the suicide.

Odd Burial of Poet.

Surely the strangest funeral in his
tory took place September 20, says the
Central News Penzance correspon-

body should be removed from the hut
in which 1t lay. Just outside Mouseho1e
and taken to the pier there at in the
morning. Thence it would have been
transferred to a ships life boat which
would have ben rowed to a waiting
steam launch and towed six miles out,
where the body would have been COM
mftted to the waters. as the deceased
had often expressed a wish to finally
rest at the bottom of the mighty deep.
On this becoming known at Mouse
hole all the latent superstition of the
fishermen was aroused, and active
hostility was shown to the proposal.
A telegram was dispatched to the
home secretary questioning the legal
fty of the proceeding, and asking his
cautious terms, stating that he could
not advise as to the legality, and add
ing that he did not approve of any
burial not in accordance with the law.
AT daybreak a steam launch was
ready in Penzance harbor, but Mr..
Davidson's sons first sought advice,
and the proceedings were delayed.
Later, a hearse and carriage were hir-
ed and the body was brought to Pen
Zance harbor
The Rev. J. S. Pagan, vicar of New
Ign, whose services were obtained for
the funeral rites, was here in waiting,

sailors the coffin was taken to the

pared for its reception.
The coffin was of plain pitchpine,

was accompanied by the deceased IS
two sons and three or four personal
friends, who got into a punt and fol-
lowed close behind it as it was rowed
to the steam launch waiting in the
middle of the harbor
The funeral party boarded the
launch, and the boat containing the
coffin was slowly towed out of the
harbor, the launch flying her little
flag at half-mast. The sun was shin
ing brilliantly, and there was scarcely
ripple on the surface of the sea.
The body was taken out about 10
miles. and a heavy weight was Sc
curely fastened to the coffin, which
was then reverently committed to
the deep. A spot had been chosen
where the seas bottom Is rocky, so
that the remains shall not be dis
turbed by trawlers.
Here, on a cushion Of velvety sea-
weed, will rest all that was mortal of
John Davidson, whose end has been
as tragic and romantic as anything
conceived by him in his tragedies, and
his strange desire will have been full
filled.-Pall Mall Gazette.

NO SIGN OF THE CREW.
a Large Steamer Is Ashore OF Seal
Cove.

ST. John, N. B., Oct. pa large
steamer is ashore on the Old Proprietor
ledge, off Seal cove, Grand Manan, ac-
cording to a dispatch received here.
There is no sign Of the crew. A life
boat is on the way out to the vessel.
The steamer is believed to be the Don
aldson liner Hestia, which left Glasgow.
October 9, for St. John and Baltimore.
A later dispatch from Grand Manan
states that the steamer is practically
submerged The vessel has two masts
and a white band on the funnel, this
description fitting that of the Hestia.
The United States Shipping company,
local agents for the Donaldson line,
says that no word has been received
by them of the reported stranding of
the steamship Hestia- The Hestia,
which was due at st. John yesterday, Is
commanded by Captain Newman and
has crew of about 80 men. She car
ried no passengers.

Collie Mystifes Town.

A large dog, a collie, has spent the
most of it's time before the Sussex
National Bank. The dog stands all
day long, unless disturbed, looking in
to space, as though it expected it's
lost master to come and claim it. But
the master never comes.
The dog wears a tag with a number
and the initials IN. Y. S. P c. A"
but the New York society is unable
to give the name Of the master or
description. :?
Residents of this locality have been
attracted to the dog, which is friendly
enough, though never cordial, and
some E them have tried to adopt 1t,
but failure has met every effort of
that kind. Archibald Hough took the
dog to his home. in the suburbs. The
dog was tied up over night, but the
next day the collie was down in the

Cats and other dogs may come and
go freely and never receive SO much
as the raising of an ear from the
stranger. The police do not want to
dispose of the dog and the dog warden
won't touch it, so it is becoming the
problem of the town.

STUBS AND CURTIS.
They Refuse to Discuss Their Con-
troversy in st. Louis.

ST. Louis, Oct. 26.-The Globe-Demo-
crat prints the following:
Political enemies and rivals for the
Republican nomination for United STATES
senator from Kansas, four years hence,
Gov. w. R. Stubs of Kansas and Sen
ator Charles Curtis of Kansas, are
united in the interest of the deep water
way movement. Both left on the meet
yesterday afternoon to accompany
President Taft to New Orleans, Gov
ernor Stubs on the steamer st. Paul.

on the Quincy, bearing the members
of Congress.
Both refused to discuss the accepted
rivalry between them for the senator
ship when seen shortly before the fleet
eighed anchor. on the plea that II dealt
with the future. They freely expressed
their sentiments In favor of the water
way movement. Governor Stubps salu,
when asked about the Senatorsh1p: L
do not care to discuss anything so re-
mote. I have come here to studV the
deep waterway movement and have left
politics behind me-"
Both Want Deep Water.
Gov. stubbs believes in the sys-
sissippi and Missouri rivers. In this
regard he said: '"These rivers can
not be developed by doing little
work here and there. now and then,
but they must be developed in
comprehensive Wdy--oll CbCAAOo -
time. Two per cent bonds, covering
a sufficient appropriation. should be
issued for this purpose, and they
should be comprehensively developed
in the same manner as railroad
system. They can, and should, potn
be made great commercial highways
within the next few years"
Senator Curtis also says it is too far
ahead to discuss the senatorsh1p.
"Gov. Stubs" he said, "is known to
be a candidate for reelection as gov

comes up next year, and. while sew
eral prominent Republicans have been
mentioned for the nomination against
him, it is at this time impossible to

early to discuss it.

TWO RUNAWAY BOYS.
Caught at Santa Fe Depot on Way
to Kansas City.

Two runaway boys who told the po-
lice that they had intended going to
Kansas City, but who could not tell
what they intended to do thNre were
apprehended at the Santa Fe depot
this afternoon by Officer Penney just
as they were about to board the train
for the big village 81 miles east of
here. The two lads, Paul Franks, aged
IS, and Noah Fred Dodge, aged IA,
both had half fare tickets, and about
$1.75 in money. One of them admit
ted that he had a cruel stepfather
and that was the reason he wanted to
leave home. Both were returned to
their parents.
