When II. H.. Rogers was Tn the prime of his power. says a New York writer. he formed q friendship part nership'' with Mark Twain and Thom- as Brackett Reed and took personal charge of their affairs. looking after them as he would a couple of children. It was great fun for all three. and especially Rogers. Neither Clemens nor Reed had any sense for business. The big ex-speaker came to New York poor man. Five years later he died suddenly. and his estate assayed over $6OO.OOO. He probably had no idea what he was worth at any stage. Rog- CTS made as much or more money for Clemens es

 Squeaky springs are an annoyance that may be easily remedied, by sim ply lifting the body of the car so that the chassis hangs by the springs and working in between the leaves a mixture of flake graphite and oil (about the consistency of thick cream) with a knife blade. The leaves will then slide easily over one another, the squeak will be cured for practi- cally all time. and corrosion will not take place.
 A nut may be made to hold for a time by twisting string or twine may also be held in position by wet ting with spirits of salts; also by slightly riveting the end of the bolt. When nut gives trouble in this way it is usually the result of exces- sive vibration or because the bolt is not large enough for the hole in which it is placed.
 Upholstering in motor cars now is done popularly in whipcord broad cloth in some light color. The darker Stering isn't so popular now on Amer Gan made bodies, although the Euro pean limousines and landaulets still have that sort of finish in many eases. The trouble is that genuine leather over here is too expensive to make it possible to turn out a body on anything like reasonable terms.
 The Boston fire insura1ce agents who write automobile policies have put into effect a new system of rates, which has been agreed to by all the companies engaged in this line of bus mess. Speaking broadly, the, new rates are a reduction on the higher priced automobiles insured for approx imately their full value.- the charge is about the same on mediuTn-priced cars insured for about their full value. For small amounts of insurance the rates are increased and for secondhand cars they are increased, dealers in surance being considerably higher than formerly on secondhand goods.

The chart shows an increase in the price of motor. cars from 1903 until 1907, but since that time the average price has gradually declined. This is not the result of any radical reduction in the price of motor cars, but is brought about by the great increase in the manufacture and sale of machines selling at $1,50O Or less. In the early rare, while now the greatest volume of business and the greatest number of machines are under that figure

COUNTING THE BALLOTS.

The voters will be greatly interested
in the preliminary reports on the sem
atorial, congressional and guber-
material vote. When the judges
straighten out the ballots for the final
count-they could easily run over the
vote for these three positions and make
the announcement. 1t would relieve a
great deal of anxiety and would be a
clever act on the part of the judges.
Then the rest of the ticket could be
counted in order. Some Of the judges
have signified their intention to do that
and give the public the information as
early as possible.
Because of the length of the ballot. it
will take considerable time to make the
full count in large precincts-if each
ballot is taken up separately and count
ed from the office of u. S. senator down
to constable before the next is touched.
The judges have the opportunity to
make themselves very popular by ex-
pedtting matters.

LIQUID LIGHT NEXT


Senator Depew, in recent number
of one Of the magazines, takes occasion
to decry the pessimistic tone of the
conservation leaders when they speak
of the exhaustion of timber, coal. land
and other resources of future genera =
tions-and says that they make no &C.
count Of the substitutes that scientists
Of the future are pretty sure to dis
cover for some Of these things. The
point Is well taken, though 1t is no
excuse for the reckless waste of pres
ent national resources. To give point
to it a dispatch to The Chicago Rec
ord Herald tells of new discovery of
a wonderful illuminant which is manu-
featured from the waste product of
petroleum. The account of this LIQUID
light reads well. 1t says, under a New
York date line
Light is sold by the pint or pound at
last, for the first Blau gas plant in the
United States was opened in Long Is
land City. Commuters need no longer
be in the dark, for they may take home

but there are some who keep the coal
proposition uppermost in their minds

the dumping ground for a poor quality
of coal. He insisted that little high
grade anthracite was ever sold in this
state.

GILBREATH AND LABOR,

The insurgent supporters of Alex
Mcdonald for the office Of commission
er Of agriculture, endeavored to create
the impression that the labor unions
were opposed to Commissioner Gill
breath. The later spoke at the recent
Federated Labor convention in Fargo
and In its introduction to the address
which was run in full, The Minnesota
Union Advocate, the official publica-.
ton Of the federation said:
One Of the most interesting and in
structive papers ever read before the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor
was that presented the opening day
OF the Fargo convention by w. c.
Giibreath, commissioner of agricuI-
ture and labor of North Dakota. He
held the closest attention to the end
and at the close, received the hearty
applause of his hearers.
