HIS HEART BROKEN

dealer as he mournfully regarded the
lifeless body of kingsnake. "He died
of broken heart. And yet there are
those who will tell you that snakes are
old-blooded creatures, devoid OF ro-

Died of broken hearth" questioned
the customer with surprise. Why.

starving to death?"
II see you remember" said the deal
er, with sad smile. Yes. that was
Ferdinand, the snake who wouldn't
eat. And would that had never tried
to make him eat! Far better thou
sand times starvation than death from
an unrequited love.
"'Twas this way. He finally grew 50
weak from lack of nourishment that,
in order to save his life. heroic meas
ures were necessary. Food in itself
would not sufice. He needed stimu-
liant. soaked his meat In whisky and
forced 1t down his throat.
"Oh. the curse Of strong drink! Un.
used to alcohol. the stun went to his
head. He became drunk. He saw
snakes.
Being a snake himself, these lima

the midst of crowd that did not par.

But suddenly out Of the writhine
mass squirmed the most beautiful

"For the next three hours Ferdie

More and more indistfnct became

one bond of mutual interest, have
been welded into an industrial whole.
and . crusade against one class is a
crusade against all classes. This Is
the new industrialism.
THAT It must be subject to law and
be obedient to governm ent no rational
man will dispute; but that II should
be made the sport of politics. the
theme of demagosues or the play
thing of socialists, every good citizen
fervently hopes to prevent. This new
industrialism must and will conform
itself to the new laws of the country,
but it protests that these new laws
should no proceed from the hot zeal
of over-wrought political economists"
More Good Roads.
Mr.. Yoakum urged on his audience
that more money be spent in building
of good wagon roads as a matter of
business and economy and more than
that, actual necessity If the value of
farm lands, especially those remote
from railroads, is to be enhanced. MI.
Yoakum called attention to the fact
that during the year 1911 prospects
are not good for the building of more
than 1000 miles of new railroad,
1000 miles less than the normal for
80 years. ~~-
1.-THE present policy in many Of the
Western states in stopping railroad
construction is not inimical to exist
ing railways securities" said Mr..
Yoakum. "As a matter of fact, if we
are to have no more new railroa con-
struction existing securities are made
better as the development along exist
ing roads adds to their value. But it
is against the interests of the Western
country, which needs the develop
ment.
Mr.. Yoakum said the effect of the
1907 panic, as shown in railroad Ia
Dor alone on account of the reduction
of force was $1S4, 900 in one year.
Including the families of railroad en-
ployes more than a million persons
were effected.
"The cessation of railroad construc-
ton should be taken as warning to
the West.
Manufacturing, labor combina-
tons are so entrenched in the busi-
ness life of America that we may
accept them as permanent Srganiza-
tons with which we must deal in the
future. In few years farmer will
be organizing just as the men are
who deal in other commodities
through their organizations. Far
mers are beginning to see that what
is good for the manufacturers is good
for them. You are therefore vitality
interested in the control which the ma
tional government proposes to exer-
else. Legislation proposed for the
control and regulation for the pro-
ducts of the factory applies just as
we'll to the products of the SOIL

by b. f. Yoakum, chairman of the St.
Louis x san Francisco railroad, in
describing the general movement of
cooperation and consolidation going
on in all classes of business, including
the farmers, and which, he said, "has
been mistaken by some as predatory

plutocracy and still by others as a
cause of new nationalism."

BrOke-Fighting Creditors.

"Florrie'' Ziegfield. husband Of
Anna Held, the piquant Franch chan
sonette, is obsessed with trouble.
While in Monte Carlo recently he
was prevailed upon to "buck the til
ger" Luck was not with him, and
he lost everything but his pajamas
and pair of pink socks. In the
hope of retrieving his losses, it is
averred, he borrowed large sums of
money from several foreigners to
who he had been introduced in the
course of his stay at the gambling
resort. This money, it is claimed, he
promised to return next day. In
stead of liquidating these debts, 1t Is
itors have followed him to New York
and are now pressing him with law
suits. Ziegfield dsclaims the impu-
tation that he is welcher. though
he has put in defense to the suits,
alleging that the money, having been
lost in gambling, is not recoverable
under the law of the state Of New
York. This attitude has surprised
his friends, who have heretofore re-
SdTueu HIS WOIu tS SOOu pohu'
The foreigners have assigned their
claims to New York residents and
are going to push the suits to trial
and leave a jury to decide whether
he should be compelled to reimburse
them. Ziegfield is reputed to have an
income of $4,000 d year, and it is
considered likely that, rather than
risk the uncertainties of litigation,
he will make some compromise with
those who are suing him.

him to dazzle the eyes of tho fast set

the social which preceded the opening
of the envelopes hat but one-third OF
the envelopes had been returned, and
that the contest would remain open
until the last envelope was handed In.
Two large thermometers, one blue
and the other red, were placed at OPP
posite sides of the church, and as
the money was counted the amount
was indicated on the thermometer.
Much enthusiasm was displayed by the
adherents of the two parties, as first
the blue and then the red would as

the red, which totaled ST. to $50 for
the blue, but the returns are not all
In yet and the blue is confident of
overcoming the reds lead.
