There is one man in the United
States just killing himself in a
vain attempt to restrain his mirth
over the predicament J. T. Hara-
han finds himself in, and that
man is Stuyvesant Fish, for 20
years head of the Illinois Central
railway, until Hartman secured
control of the road in 1906.
Hartman fired Fish and put
Harahan in his place. The road
then paid good dividends to an
army of individual stockholders.
But things have been going bad
since. Profits fell away, dividends
dwindled, earnings decreased, and
last year Harahan failed to make
enough out of the Yazoo line, one
of the chief subsidiaries of the l.
c., to pay the interest upon its
bonds. Now they're talking about
Harahan.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April 10.
The next special congressional
election will be held here on April

HAYWOOD, ILL.,, April 13.-It
does one good to know Miss Kit
tie Smith. To talk with her is an
inspiration. To see how she has
overcome a terrible physical af-
Fiction makes imagined troubles
seem very silly. To know what
wonderful things this young wom-
an can do under a great handicap
makes one wonder at the stupid
ity of persons in normal condition
who fail to make use OF their nat
ural powers.
Kittie Smith has no arms.
When she was a little girl living
in Chicago she fell upon red hot
stove, and the surgeons at the
hospital cut off both her arms at
the shoulders.
If you would know what this
means, try to live an hour without
use of your arms. To the 9-year-
old Kittie, motherless and with
father, baby sister and two little
brothers to housekeep for, it was
a terrible blow. The neighbor
women all said that the girl
might better have died than be so
afflicted.
But Kittie has lived and she is
prospecting by her own efforts
she is now a self-supporting girl
of 25, and this is her story.
Kittie has learned to use her
feet to do the things that hands
were intended to do, and almost
weird are her powers. How COM
pletely she has overcome her mis-
fortune is best told by herself.
Sho said.
Il can't say 1 handle things, but
l can say that I foot them.
Eyes, l can sew. See these CEN
terpieces which / embroidered all
myself. Just a moment and l
will show you how quickly l can
thread a needle" and in a twin
king her needle was threaded and
the thread knotted. The needle
was threaded with her toes and
the knot made with her teeth.
Now do you wish to see my
workshop in the basement" We
went there and l saw pretty Kittie
work at her bench, which she
built herself.
'This is my favorite pastime, "
she said. 81 love to hammer and
saw and make things out of wood.
I can saw a board perfectly
straight, and almost as fast with
my feet as any carpenter could
with his hands"
She picked up her saw with her
right foot, and, while steadying it
with the toes of her left foot,
deftly demonstrated how easily II
was done. Various tools were
scattered over the workbench, and
several book racks which Miss
Smith had just finished were lined
up waiting for their coat of var
nish, which she will also apply
herself. One of her greatest de-
sires is to some day own a COM
plete set of tools.
Center tables, tabourets and
book shelves are listed among the
various articles of furniture made
by Miss Smith. Besides doing this
work herself, which is her bust
ness, she is teaching some small
crippled boys to use a scroll saw.
