THE OIL OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Some Advice Concerning the Virtue
Of Freely Awarding Praise Where
It 10 Due.

Don't be afraid to praise people,
Charles Battell Loomis writes in
Smiths magazine. 1t is all very well
to say that II hurts a boy or d man
or q woman to praise; there may be
those who do their belt work without
announcement. but let us remember
that nearly all of US who live on this
earth are human being, and human
beings work best when encouraged.
It is q great mistake not to tell
people when you are satisfied with
them. II the cook sets before You
. dinner at for a king tell her so.
Don't be too lofty to praise the Of
flee boy II his work is commendable.
Tell him 80.
It is harder for some people to
give praise than 1t is for them to
give money. Many a generous man
is a very niggard Of praise.
Do you like to be praised yourself?
Then depend upon It the other fellow
will like 1t.

powdered corn stored in the wrecked
building is thought to have been re-
sponsible for the disaster. The three
top stories of the six-story building
were completely wrecked. Following
the explosion fire broke out, and this
caused the injury of most of those
who were hurt. They were impris-

story elevator and inhaled the flames
and suffered burns upon their hands

Tflden Batson, n Of the two most

falling on a pile of corn. He recov-

One of the thrilling features of the
fire was the rescue from the sixth
floor of Velick Mitchie by Assistant
Fire Chief Leo Wise, who heard the
cries of Mitchie, who had both legs
and arms broken and a fractured
skull. Wise climbed up a large feed
pipe to the third floor and called to
Mitchie to slide down the pipe. De-
spite his fearful injuries he obeyed,
and Wise caught him as he came
down the pipe. He was taken to the
Granite City hospital.
The other four men who still re-
manned in the building were carried
from the third floor by Jeffries and
Keeling. All were taken to the hos.
pital, where their injuries were treat
ed. The wrecked building had no fire
escape, which made the rescue of the
men difficult and dangerous.

SLUMP IN AUTO BUSINESS
Bottom Seems to Have Dropped Out
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts
of Manufacturers.

New York.-Indications point to the
bottom having fallen out of the auto
mobile business. The manufacturers,
it is reported in trade circles, are
making strenuous efforts to keep up
a show of continued prosperity, but
it is also said that they are not sell
ing their product, but are storing ma
chimes throughout the country at their
various agencies to prevent the pub

the market.
Several large concerns are laying
off men and giving all sorts of rea-
sons for so doing except the state
ment that they are overstocked. Two
or three of the largest factories re-
Gently closed entirely, ~ostensibly for
the purpose of taking inventory, but
the workmen were not given any def
mite time at which to again report for
work, and it is not expected that these
facotries will again be in operation
this year.
A we'll known automobile agent OF
this city said that all cars would UNI
d%oubtedly be selling at from rs per
cent to so per cent less than present
list prices within the next two or
three months. He added:
"The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and peo-
pie of the smaller cities and towns
have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work, and while there was, for
a time, a tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for ars from this class of buyers has
practically stopped, and venture to
say we will not again sell to the farm
ers to any extent until prices are ma
terially reduced"

Quebec.-There is no doubt left that
DR.. Crippen has confessed to Inspec-

She tainted and later died. Fearing
the consequences, he made all haste
to owe his deed.
This statement is vouched for by a
government official and is the general

Neither Dew nor any of the Canadian
police officials will affirm or deny it,
but there is a general feeling of relief
inh police circles.
