struction Of their mothers.
In the spring OF 1907 Mr., Alderman
was elected superintendent of the
city schools of Eugene. While in

Small ENTERPRISES That Paid.

"A Pennsylvania girl writes me
hat she gathered and washed feath-
rs and down for a whole year, says
lnna Steese Richardson in Woman's
lone Companion for February. "The
text summer she male it up into pill
.ows, using attractive ticking and
'hintZ. and sold them to guests at a
mountain resort eight miles away.
She offered the pillows at a trifle less
han the price asked in city shops,
nut the appeal to city folk lay in the
act that they were real feather pill
ows from the country.
"A girl who lived in New Jersey,
within committing distance of New
York, started a hotbed raising fresh
lettuce and radishes. These she bold
ly carried to New York in a suit
case anil sold to-other people working
in the office where she was employed
Tbday that girl has a good-sized
truck-farm, employs several hands
and does not have to work in a city
office.
Away out in Nebraska a farmers
daughter tried to do the same thing,
believing that she could induce the
green-grocers in the nearest town to
handle her fresh lettuce and radishes
rather than thbse shipped in by COM
mission merchants. The dealers were
afraid to give her any encouragement
Her supply might not be up to the
standard. She might not raise
enough to supply them and then they
would not know how much to ex-
pect from her and how much from
the commission merchants!
The girl made a house-to-house
canvass among housewives and offer
ed them freshly-picked vegetables at
the same price as they had been pay
ing for the hothouse supply shipped
in. She was just brave enough not
to cut under the prices of the local
g1ocers. Her list of customers grew.
She came to town three times a week
The green-grocers discovered that
she was cutting into their trade. They
capitulated. To-day she supplies them
all, sends hothouse products to town
three times a week in winter and
garden truck every day in summer.

house" or the presidents mansion"
according to personal tastes. In the
earliest plotting of Washington the
capitol and the White House were
designated by names which would
hardly be understood by the newsboys
of this city today. 1t called one "con-
gress house" and the other the ''presi-

the common sense designation because

usage.
White House Expenses.
The entire expense of the White
House, including the salary of the
president and cost of clerical and Of
fee assistance, is a little more than
the sum allotted by the Hollanders to
Queen Wilhelmina and is certainly not
an eXtravagant ratio of expenditures.

the maintenance of the White House
since 1904 except during the last two
years of the Roosevelt administration.
when a record was made by keeping
down expenses to about 100000 each
year.
With the exception of these two
years the expenses have been higher,
chiefly owing to appropriations for re-
pairs and additions. which vary from
year to year. The highest executive
expenditures are about one-tenth of
the civil list of Germany and one
eighth that of England.

Rich Congressman.
Multimillionaires are invading the
house of representatives. That legis-
lative body today is more thickly in
vested, so to speak, by predatory
plutes" than at any previous period in
its history
One of the fifteen richest men in
this country is representative in
congress from Yonkers, in the state
Of New York. His name is John L.
Andrus, and his wealth is estimated
at $60,000,000 He is chemical king,
controlling to a great extent the pro-
duction of medicinal drugs in the
United States. Nearly all Of the pep
sin manufactured in America comes
from his mills, whence the name "Old
Chewing Gum" applied to him joking
ly by his fellow congressman, though,
as a matter of fact, he puts on the
market no such commodity.
One of the most remarkable men in
the present house is Daniel +. Lafean
of York, Pa. He likewise was born
fortune builder. He started in life as
driver of a coal cart at 81 a day. Ev-
cry cent he possesses he has made for
himself, and his wealth today amounts
to not less than $3,0O0,O0O He owns
silk mills, banks. dairies and automo-
bile factories; but, industrially speak
ing, he is chiefly conspicuous as the
candy king.

In this city there are 100000 square

the area of cobblestones is so small
that it is hardly worth estimating.
