Maybe the reason the work OF

has only Greeks and Italians laying

company hire Belgians for the job?

TOBACCO MARKET.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 22.-Total offer
ings last week were 4,79O hhds. Of
this number 4,127 hhds were hurley
and 663 dark. The offerings of new
hurley were comparatively large, quail
Ity only fair; color was not plentiful
and decided grades of bright tobacco
were very limited. The strong de-
mand for the common grades Of red
hurley continues at prices that have
been ruling for several weeks. Red
tips and common red leaf were firm,
medium and good red leaf were irreg-
ular Common colory smokers and
strippers were few bids higher. The
better grades of colory smokers, strip
pers, cut plug grades and natural leaf
filters were IN good demand.
The offerings of old hurley
were small quality inferior, and
no change to report in prices.
There were BAL hi Is new dark offered
at auction quality poor, composed
largely of air-cured common leaf and
Iugs. The market for all grades Of
air-cured leaf was firm. trash and
common lugs were stronger and good
lugs were unchanged. The few hhds
of fired leaf offered were principally
rehandlng styles. Extra long leaf
met with actice competition; other
grades of fired leaf were irregular.
The quality of the old air-cured was
only fair. Long rehandling leaf and
manufacturing leaf in good condition
sold at outside quotations. No change
to report in other grades of old leaf.
The private sales consist of 1,749 hhds
of new hurley, sold to the American

Into obscurity, as Mr.. Gould hoped 1t
would, it also would probably cause
the public to feel great resentment in
the end against the bringer Of such
unwelcome news, in which animus
would unquestionably be discerned.
That was something which Mr..
Gould had not taken into account.
Nor had he thought what the effect of
such an article might be on his f.

to help a good friend who, he be-
lieved, was facing most serious dan
ger. Later on, when his anger had
cooled and he had regained his usual
control of his temper, he admitted
that he probably would have done the
wrong thing had he persisted in haV-

that time on to the day of his death
he was more than ever convinced of
the great danger there is In doing
anything in the heat of passion"

an Attack on. Him.

Great as was his financial con-
quests, probably the greatest of all of
Jay Gould's victories was that which
he gained over his temper" said an
old friend Of the family to me at the
time of the little wizards death in
1892. In its natural state his was a
most unruly temper. Unmastered, it
would undoubtedly have led him into
all sort of embarrassing situations
and, to my mind, seriously imperilled
the success of his aims in life. But
more than once l have heard Russell
Sage say-and he certainly knew
that Mr.. Gould was the most even
tempered man with whom he had ever
been brought into business associa-
tion.
Indeed, so complete was Mr.. Gould's
mastery over his temper that can re-
call only one time when it ever got
the better of him. Then, curiously
enough, Mr.. Gould got boiling mad in
behalf of a good friend and business
associate, and had not some of his
closest friends been able finally to re-
strain him, there is no telling to what
lengths he would have let his fury
carry him.
One day there came to Mr.. Gould's
ears a report that to this, his friend
and business associate, a second friend
and business associate was acting so
disloyally that there was grave dan
ger of an unfortunate domestic dis
turbance. Conduct of this sort was
the one thing that Mr.. Gould could
not forget or forgive, and instantly
the bounds that he had kept for so
many years on his temper burst and
his rage became truly terrifying.
His one thought, then, was to
drive the alleged disloyal friend out
OF reputable business and social asso-
Citations. To this end, and while his
fury was at its height, he had pre-.
pared a bitter, vitriolic article which
purported to a narrative of various
private episodes in this mans life.

One Time Gould Got Angry

he was going to have published the
next day in the New York newspaper
that he then owned I'll take the full
responsibility for it's publication he
declared, and added that he would be
only too glad to do so, for he felt sure
that the publication of the article
would drive the man into obscurity, a
circumstance which would be little
enough recompense to the friend who
was in danger of being injured.

and very earnest efforts on the part
of Mr.. Goulds confdantes that they
were at all able to swerve him in the
slightest from the plan of action that
he had mapped out in the heat of his
anger. But finally Mr.. Gould was re-

Fraudulent Promissory Note Case ir
Which Abe Was Concerned

Business Methods.

First as a justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States from 1862
to 1877, and then as a senator from
Illinois until 1888, the late David Dav-
is, who presided over the senate fol-
lowing the accession of Chester A.
Arthur to the presidency, was for
many years prominently in the eye of
the country. But long after his name
has been forgotten as that of a Su-
preme court judge or a United States
senator, it will be remembered as that
of the judge before whom Lincoln
tried his cases when he rode the cir
cult of Illinois. The histories of Lin
coins life are full of anecdotes telling
of Judge Davis's partiality of Lin
coin and of his eagerness to hear Lin
coins stories when the days work

the signature and in the body of the

to see me about in such a hurry. I
nearly broke my neck, so to speak, in
getting from the railroad station to
the office, and you can imagine my

Mr.. Kruttschnitt got out hastily,
with never a word in reply.
That was the imperious Harri-
man-the Hartman who had to have
some way of easing his nerves; and
his lieutenants-the men who were
close to him-understood this and act
ed accordingly.
But the way in which Mr.. Hartman
stuck to his aims, and his work in
particular, interested me most of all.
Il had been president of one of his
minor transportation enterprises for
some little time when he shot at me
in the midst of strictly business con-
ference: How would you like to be

one, such as you now head?

The ring is of thick gold, carrying
a cornelian stone rectangular, large

The perfection of the entaillure is con.

the ring, for the modern engraver
seldom succeeds with that sureness

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
a railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not a
district Of a fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense of tuition is
but nominal sum.
The final returns Of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers of
that country is about 1876 million dol
lars, as compared with 120 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it,"
With crops yielding them a profit of
500 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
Of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states, and they all ex-
press themselves as we'll satisfied,
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
lot of free homestead land in splen-
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at reasonable price from
