PRINTING OFFICE HINTS.

Never send articles for publication
without sending thy name, for thy
name often secures the publication
of a worthless article.
Thou shoulds't not rap at the
printing Office door, for he that
heareth thee rap sneereth in his
sleeves and loseth time.
Thou shoulds't never read the
copy on the printers case or hook
container thereof, or the composition
may grow exceedingly wroth.
Never inquire of the editor the
news, for behold it is his business
to give it to thee at the appointed
time without asking for it.
It is not right that thou shouldst
ask him who is the author of an
article, for it is his duty to keep
such matters to himself.
When thou dost enter his Office,
take heed of thyself that thou dost
not look at what may concern thee
not, for that is not meet in the sight
of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof.
sheet for it is not ready to meet
thine eye, that thou mayest under
stand.
Prefer thine own town paper to
any other, and If thou hast not
already done so, subscribe for it in
advance, and it will be we'll with
thee and thine.

CONGRESS- MAY
REJECT MEASURE
Opposition to Taft's Cor
poration Plan.
BILL FREELY CRITICISED

Members Declare Forfeiture Clause
Is Necessary in Order to Revoke
Charters of Persistent VioIators Of
the Law-Also Suggested That In
corporation Under the Proposed Act
Should Be Compulsory.
Washington, Jan. 14.-Now that the
main features Of the bill to be recon
mended by the president providing fol
federal incorporation act have be
come known there is disposition Oh
the part of many members of congress-
to insist not only upon full discus
sion of the measure but upon amend
ments which will, in their judgment
be necessary to make it effective in
dealing with great corporations. In
deed, it is believed that nothing short
of tremendous administration influence
will enact it into law.
The need of a forfeiture clause, by
which corporation persistently vic
lating the law can have it's charter re
voked, is declared to be absolutely
necessary if corporations are to be eff
fectively controlled.
Many congressional lawyers advo
cate compulsory instead of voluntary
federal interpretations. They cite as
sound the general principle that if con
gress has constitutional power to grant
voluntary charters to corporations do.
ing such business it has power to com
pei them to take a federal incorpOra
ton just as it has power to require
them to comply with it's laws regulat'
ing interstate commerce.
Wickersham Prepared Measure.
In twenty-one sections Attorney
General Wickersham has embodied the
ideas of President Taft and his cabinet
regarding a system of federal incor.
poration of business enterprises. The
bill is expected to be laid before con.
gress next week.
The principal feature will be the
creation of a form of holding company
which under the national charter may
panies organized under state laws.
Proper limitations will be provided
against the embarkation of any such
corporations in the business of dis
counting bills, receiving deposits and
issuing notes. There will be no com.
pulsory provision in the bill, it is said.
The corporations will not be required
to take out national charter if they
see fit to do business under the state
laws instead.
In case a national corporation shall
desire to acquire the property of state
corporations it will be required that it
shall hold not less than majority of
the capital stock of such corporations.
Any corporation that has more than
one kind of stock will be authorized to
confer the right to choose the directors
OF any class to the exclusion of others.

SUMS OF MONEY
Death Of 81. Paul Recluse
Reveals Life Of Miser.
DRESSED LIKE A BEGGAR

Investigation Reveals, However, That
He Held Notes of Some of the Larg-
est Business Firms in the Twin Cit.
Ies-His Manner of Living Like
That Found in Many Characters OF
Fiction.
st. Paul, Jan. 14.-Papers indicat-
Ing that J. G. Lounsberry, the aged
recluse who was found dead in his
room at GA Summit avenue, was prob
ably worth considerably more than
100000, that there was some dark
secret in connection with his life and
that he had fears that he was about
to be killed were found by Fred Car
penter, secretary to Coroner D. G.
Jones, when the mans trunk was
searched.
Investigation of the room in which
he died and inquiry into the habits of
the man also seem to indicate that
he has been dead since last Saturday
night. And it is possible that the gas
which escaped in his room was not
responsible for his death. No marks
of violence were found on his body,
but the discoveries made by the cor
oner's assistants make the case ex-
tremely mysterious. .s--.'
That the man was q miser and that
his manner of living was like that
found in many characters CT fiction,
but seldom seen in life, is shown by
the agreement he made with Mrs. F.
Foulk, his landlady, when he took the
room last September.
II will take the room Ind pay
promptly for it if you will never pass
the threshold or let any one else pass
It," he told her. ..
Attended to His Own Work.
Lounsberry enforced this rule rigid
ly, even making his own bed, doing
his own washing and mending and
slipping in and out of the room at odd
hours day and night as though afraid
some one might see inside.
Entries in notebooks, of which a
trunk almost full was found, showed
that he lent money in sums ranging
as high as $4,000 and that he held
notes on some of the largest business
firms in Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Members of these firms, when ques.
toned, said that they knew little OF
his life, except that he was queer
character and was regarded as a
miser.
II knew him well by sight," said
Mr.. Harrington Of the Van Dusen-
Harrington company, Minneapolis.
"He would come to our Office looking
like beggar. He would almost force
US to take his money for our notes.
And if the notes fell due at o'clock
on a certain day he would be at the
foot of the elevator five minutes be-
fore that time"
Mr.. Clark of the Shevlin-C Carpenter
Lumber company, Minneapolis, said
that his firm had borrowed lots of
money from the aged man under cir
cumstances similar to those of the
Van Dusen-Harringto company.
