MEETS USUAL FATE

STOOD AND UNREWARDED.
Mr.. Glasspy Had Idea for Scheme

Power, but Alas!

"Yes, my name is Cluppins,' said
the head Of the manufacturing firm,
turning around in his revolving chair;
what can | do for you?"
my name is Glasspy," said the
caller, tall, slender man in a suit Of
faded black. Possibly you have
heard of me. l am the inventor Of
Glasspy's footpad discourager, an In.

hold-up man can be reduced to submis-

"No, sir, ! never heard of you"
"Well, / worked 1t one night with

81 am not trying to borrow any
money, sir. | am simply proposing an
arrangement by which both of us can
make money. furnish the idea. You
furnish the capital to exploit 1t If the
idea commends itself favorably to you.
The human heart, Mr.. Cluppins, for
the size of it, and considering its limi.
tations, Is the most powerful motor in
the world. It never stops. 1t works
day and night, with tireless energy.
To illustrate its power, cross one leg
over the other allowing your foot to
hang free. Then note how, with every
pulsation Of the heart, the foot will VI
brate up and down, describing an arc
Of perhaps a quarter of an inch.
"The late Abraham Lincoln once no

mark about It. Imagine 10000 or 100,-
900 human beings, Mr.. Cluppins, sit
ting with their legs crossed, not neces
sarily in company, but connected BIZ
electrical currents converging to
common center, and tell me, If you
can, what limit can be placed to the
tremendous energy thus developed by
the simple motion of 100000 human
feet, moving through an arc"
Excuse me a moment, Mr.. Glass
py,' hurriediy interrupted the other
rising to his feet and stepping into
the next room, closing the door behind
him.
Half minute later an agitated
voice was talking through the tele.

whereas with an automobile they

Although Capt Bernier will not be
commissioned to proceed TO the North

such may be the final outcome of the

which has consistently supported the
Taft administration, in its leading edi-
torial today assails him bitterly for
his cable message to the mayor OF
Porto Maurizio Italy. in which the
president paid a high tribute TO Col.
Roosevelt as our most distinguished

cial for his hospitality in entertaining
him so lavishly. The editorial says;
When Mr.. Taft was nominated for
the presidency the World asked the
plain question whether, II elected, ne
was to be president or proxy.
Various opinions will be expressed
on many phases of Mr. Tafts official
career. but concerning the Geographic
message sent by him to the mayor OF
Port Maurizio, Italy, there can prop
ably be but one conclusion.
1T was an amazing and Illuminating
expression. II degraded not only the
chief magistrate but the American
republic. II was weak, false.
