Fortune Vanderbilt Forgot

the Commodore, you've got good
deal more than that. Figure and see if
| am not right
THE report was speedily made, and
it showed that the Commodore was
within few hundred dollars OF the ex-
act amount of money on hand. There
we're not many details which escaped
him, and when he mentioned the sum
which was in the cOmpany's treasury
or on deposit, he was certain that ne
could not be far out of the way. 1t
seemed to please him that he had
caught us mapping. Then, after mo-
| ment, he said
THAT is altogether too much money
to be lying idle. You ought to put it
on. somewhere on short notes or in
some way, so that it will be earning in
terest instead of lying idle
You see, the Commodore had
learned a lesson year or two before.
| One of the officers of the company had
said to him: Commodore, the New
| York Central doesn't pay dividends
oftener than once in six months. Don't
you see that you are losing the inter
est on lot of money on that account?
| If we paid once in three months, your
! dividend would be available for earn,
in quite a pretty penny.
THE Commodore had never thought
and gave the order that from that time
on the dividend should be quarterly.
He was undoubtedly thinking of
that experience when he declared that
| the railroad treasury was carrying too
much idle money
well, Commodore, one of us asked
what use would you suggest that we
make of this money? We will want it
at dividend time
why, l will borrow it of you my
self the Commodore replied, provided
you will accept New York Central
stock as collateral security
He chuckled for moment or two
but we saw that he was in earnest, and
block of nearly two thousand shares OF
New York Central stock as security.
Nearly year later the Commodore
plainly greatly puzzled, appeared al
the desk of the finance officer, and
asked how many shares of New York
Central stock he owned The officer
after looking at the books, told him
the precise amount.
Yes admitted the Commodore
that agrees with my own books, but
can't find all the stock There's g
block OF nineteen hundred and fifty
shares missing. | haven't the remotest
idea of what has become of it.
immediately there began a search
for the missing stock, which lasteC

the big safe, just where it had beer
put when the Commodore gave it as
security for the dividend money that
he had borrowed. There it had re

Off the Fat
Where lit Shows

Most women suffer much humiliation because
OF great quantities Of fat, located that, no
matter how they dress, everybody that they
are abnormal. This is the day OF the slender
figure and fat women are simply not tolerated
either In business or social affairs. Women may
not know it. but men when they fat won-
an pass them on the street make all manner OF
sympathetic remarks about her. They do not
mean to be unkipd or to seem unmanly, but 1t
is natural for a man to dislike fat on a woman.
Where fat shows the most there Is where 1t
must be removed, and quickly possible.
The hot weather dresses seem to be made for
the fat woman's misery and the slender wom-
ans delight. They expose all the charms of
woman and her ugliness well. Exercise and
diet will not remove fat. This has been proved

mate. But at least the lesson is plain for
any discriminating observer of social evo-

merely the inevitable consequences result
ing from different conditions; and Just
in proportion as men and women work
side by side in the battle of life SUBJ

emerge: that sex distinctions have been

Seattle AID Vice.

To read Seattle newspapers and in
terviews with Mayor Gill, one would
imagine that he is the most surprised
man on earth at the conditions which
an acting mayor unearthed in Sc
attic during the absence of Gill on a
hunting trip. Yet any visitor to Sc
attic might have testified to the
truth of some of the acting mayors
charges. For instance, it is COM
mon knowledge that liquor can be
obtained in any first class hotel in
Seattle Sunday. The existence of a
lid has been joke so far as this
concerned All the hotel manage
ment desires to know before com
plying with a request for liquor is
that the applicant for liquor Is not
plain clothes" detective. If the
acting mayor is as near the truth in
his other accusations as he is with
respect to the disregard for the SYM
day liquor law, condition. must be
bad.
Attempt is now being made to
cloud the issue as concerns the chief
Of police by demand that the con-
duct of the acting mayor during his
brief tenure of office be investigated
That seems rather silly. He hardly
had time to get very far into the
graft. and there was no rea son, con-
sidering the short duration of nj!
reign and the absolute certainty o.
his loss of power, to share the usua
percentage with him. For its owr
sake and for the amusement OF ar
interested state. Seattle should fol
low out the trails opened by tn,
acting mayor. But of course, Seatt!'
will do nothing of the kind. Their
will be much talk and many high
sounding phrases will probably b.
evolved. but all the turmoil will en-
in talk. Seattle and vice have al
ways been friendly. - Aberdee,

The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1910-10-05

1S99-1909, 115 are directly engaged
in farming. Forty eight others are
directly engaged in agricultural work
in connection with college and expe-
riment stations and the United States
Department of Agriculture. In other
words, practically 90 per cent of the
students going out from the Illinois
school of agriculture are following
strictly agricultural pursuits. And
of this number z 0,tper cent are Iactu-
ally tilling the soil for living. ~
These inteTestips facts are shown
by authenticated records compiled at
the university. Here is one agricul-
tural college at least whose work is
evidently not leading the boys from
the farm. 1t is demonstrating its
value and usefulness in sending them
back to the farm. Like institutions
in other states would probably show
similar results were canvass of
their graduates available. We GER
tainly have no reason to doubt such
a supposition. What more would
our pessimistic friends ask of farm
er's college? Is not 90 per cent
record about as good as can be ex-
pected in any line of educational
work? 1t is a mistake to lose any
sleep over the ill-advised and erro-
neous statement that agricultural COL
leges educate largely from the farm.
Actual conditions prove the reverse.
