We left Adolf in a terrible posi-
ton. There he was alone in the
world, OSCAR having departed with
long strides across the fields. Adolf
must find him, or perish helplessly
like an oyster in the wilderness
with no one to guide him. Thrown
on his own resources and stunned
by the impact, Adolf ran, or rather
to9dled, hither and thither. in panic,
forgetting that a Boy Scout above
all things must be self reliant. And
in doing so he came up with a real
Boy Scout.
Innocence in distress always en-
lists the sympathies of a real Boy
Scout and this one was not an ex-
ception.
Hello! What's the matter?" said
the Boy Scout, saluting.

Pennsylvania Sees The Light

No one expected anything of Pennsylvania in
these tumultuous times She has been hdebound in her
craftsmanship sadded and brded by corporations ridden
by political BOSSES and sunken in the sordd mre of pro-
tectionism.
But Pennsylvania has begun to see the light In 1905,
she Taft 1879 votes In 1910 only 1861 voters
stood by the republican candidate for governor while
1863 6O voted for Berry the nsugen republican running
on an independent ticket. The democrats polled only
124847 in spite of the high tide that surged all around
the borders of the Keystone state.
In view of these results who dares to say that Pennsy
vania is hopeessy reactonary? Who dares not dare
hope that she may rally to the call of an enlightened pro-
gressive and insurgent party in 1912?

thought of it, but it was made In a

was dining in New York one day
with Chas. Washburn, the great
wire manufacturer of Worcester,
Mass, who suggested to him that
there was great future for barbed
wire all over the world If some
body could devise means of max
ing it cheaply and quickly.
Mr.. Putnam went to Bennington

complained that it was oppressive.

He didn't say what he got for the

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Nov. 26.-The
lawyer for the defense in suit
involving the validity of hundreds
of thousands of irrigation district
bonds faced an old man in the wit,
ness chair.
"Mr. Putnam, how much do you
consider yourself WORTH"
Really, do not know"
"Well," said the lawyer with
some sarcasm, 81 suppose you could
tell WITHIN A MILLION, couldn't
your"
The witness thought a moment
and shook his head.
well, then" the lawyer retort-
ed, impatiently, ~ guess you could
tell WITHIN TEN MILLION,
couldn't you?"
The witness hesitated, looking at
the ceiling and apparently making
some rapid mental calculations.
Ten he answered:
mo. l DON'T BELIEVE I
COULD"
The judge, the lawyers and the
spectators looked the old man over
with establishment. He had lived
in southern California for some
years and was known to be well
fixed" but no one suspected the
presence of new multi-million-
aire Gin our midst"
Inquiry developed the fact that
Henry w. Putnam, formerly of Ben
nington, VT, and New York City,
an dior the last Is years a resi-
dent of San Diego, is worth at a
conservative estimate. $4,000, 900.
1t is doubtful If his name has
ever appeared in a list of the very
rich men of America, yet
Ever use a safety pin?
That's Putnam's.
Ever snap a bottle stopper?
That's Putnam's.
Ever tear the seat of your trou-
sers on q barbed wire fence?
Thank Putnam for that.
Ever--well, there are more than
a hundred products of Mr.. Put
MANS active brain that have gone
into common use all over the
world.
A recent writer supplied this
"recipe for making yourself null
millionaire: Think of some
thing that will save millions OF
people millions of dollars worth OF
work every year. then arrange with
these millions of people to give you
a part of what you have saved for
them
That's what Putnam did.
He came to California with the
Argonauts in 1S49, but did not, go
to the mines. He simply invented
better way to find gold.
Water was scarce in San Fran
cisco. He managed to get control
of two good springs and proceeded
to make soda water He hoped to
accumulate $4,000, then go east
and put his genius at work on big
ger things.
He made the thirty thousand, and
"then some" AS he went down the
street one day he picked up a
piece of wire and began to bend it
into a curious shape. Before he
got through with this wire the
world had a new and very useful
bottle-stopper and Mr.. Putnam
had the nucleks of his millions. The
same idea was applied to fruit
lars and lot OF other things.
One of his friends says. "Wher-
ever you see bent wire, You can
be pretty sure Putnam was there" :
Putnam did not make the first
barbed wire. Somebody else

PAPKE-GooDALE FIGHT A FARCE
Big Dub Never Had Chance With
the ThunderbOIt.


Kansas City, June 15-BHy Papke
defeated Al Goodale in the second
round of thelr fight here last night, but
whether he knocked him out will pro-
Ea.bly never be known. Goodale says
ne was out. Referee Leo Shay was not
satisfied with Goo1ale's showing and
disqualified him.
The end of the night came ore min
ute and % seconds after the beginning
of the second round. AT the tap of
the gong Papke had rushed from his
corner and sent his opponent down for
the count Of nine with a right swing
to the jaw. Goodale arose with great
difficulty and hung on to Papke. They
WreStled about the ring, Papke land
ing two light taps to Goodales jaw.
Suddenly GooGale sunk to his knees
and clItched the ropes. Papke grasp
ed him by the right arm and appeared
to be trying to lift him to his feet
Being unsuccessful, Papke motioned the
timekeeper to ring the bell. a general
rIixup between fighters, referee and
seconds followed, and after about Is
seconds one Of Goddale'S handlers
threw a sponge into the ring. The dis
qualification followed.
GOOdale never appeared to have a
chance with the former middleWeight
champion. He~outweighed PaPke about
ten pounds, but this was of no aid to
him. Never during the fight did Good
ale land a clean blow. The first round
was little more than a wrestling match,
With Goodale hanging on. NO blood
was drawn in either round.
