Such is Fame,

Miss Jane Adams, the founder of
Hull house and the pioneer in settle
ment work in Chicago, recently was in
st. Louis, and, according to veracious
chroniclers was visited by an enter
prising young reporter, whose first
question was. Miss Adams, have you
ever had any experience in settlement
work?' When this story was re-
peated in the presence of Senator
Frye he remarked that 1t reminded
him of an experience of his own a year
or two ago. He was returning to
Washington for the session of Con-
gress and stayed over a day or two in
Boston. Soon after he had registered
at the Touraine a youthful reporter
called on him, and the first question
was, Senator, have you ever taken
any interest in the ship subsidy &C.
tion" mot much" replied the sena-
tor, dryly. Can you tell me just what
IT is?" Whereupon the young man
proceeded to give a little elementary
instruction on the subject to the sena-
tor, who had been the author of most
of the ship subsidy bills introduced
in congress. And the venerable sena-
tor never enlightened the young man.
He says he was afraid It might have
embarrassed him.

HEARS THROUGH HIS FINGERS
Telegraph Operator a Valuable Man
at His instrument, Though COM
pletely Deaf.

Peter A. Foley of Portland, Me-, is
telegraph operator, though totally
deaf
Since he became deaf, however, he
has developed so wonderfully the
senses of touch and sight that he can
detect the finest movements of the
instrument and correctly interpret
them.
His nervous system is a part and
parcel Of telegraphy and by the sense
Of touch in his finger tips he takes
messages transmitted from the ends
Of the continent.
He can also read a message by
watching the sounder With his left
forefnger placed lightly on the sound.
er he can by his wonderful sense of
touch take a message as accurately
as any man in the office.
He insists that he needs no more
consideration than any other operator,
for he can read the fastest trans.
hitting without the slightest difficulty,
and his record of mistakes in a year
is said to be smaller than that of any
other operator in the office.
Mr.. Foley's hearing began to fail
rapidly eight years ago. He was then
considered the best operator in the
Portland office and every effort was
made to help him. The manager Of
the office arranged the receiver so It
would make a louder tick, but in a
short time he was unable to hear
even this.
There appeared no alternative but
failure. No operator in the world had
been able to work after he had lost
his hearing. The manager didn't
wish to send a good man away, so he
was set to doing common work at
the same salary he had received as
an operator.
One day he announced that he
would soon be able to go back to his
old position. The manager was sur
prised. That deaf man could be a
telegraph operator was too much to
credit, but Mr.. Foley was able to
prove that he could do 1t.

CoUNTRYS WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown to Enor-
nous proportions Within a Few
Years.

The production of oil in the United
States has grown from nothing at the
time of it's discovery to enormous pro-
portions. Millions Of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope Of the Alleghenies In west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams of avarice.
1t remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma, together with the In
dian Territory, to open the eyes of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first tapped in the wild
eating operations of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts of
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou
sands Of acres had been already taken
up and the war for supremacy began.

JUST LAWS NEEDED.

Hon. John F. LAGER is the latest
contributor to the Des Moines Capt
tails symposium on Why Iowa is the

major at the outset makes tie perth
nent inquiry, Iowa being the best
state, why do so many people leave
it? He recalls what Abraham Lin

consists Of four things: It's soil, its
climate. its people and It's laws. On
these four things depend the growth,
happiness and prosperity Of 2 state. AS

A SAFE GUARANTY.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye guaran-
tees one thing and is on perfectly safe
ground in doing so, to-wit: that the In
surgent and progressive candidates
for congress will receive. as rule,
better support from the regular Re-
publicans than regular Republican can
didates will receive from insurgents
throughout the country In support
of this proposition tie Hawk-Eye
says:
AS matter of fact, right at the
present moment insurgent leaders are
holly campaigning for insurgent can
didates and, in doing so. are faying
regular Republicans who are candi-
dates for reelection to congress or the
senate. There is tendency always
in the regular Republican ranks to
harmonize differences as much as pos
sible, and to win victories at the polls.
1t is tradition of the Republican
party that no matter how badly split
1t may become in ante-campaign con-
ftcts among its members it gets to-
gether at election time and stands
by the ticket. This is the rule with
ASSAAeNA AsSPuDI4ldAS oGuaIOI
Cumnlins never would have had the
political honors that have been be-
slowed upon him had not this been
the policy followed by the regular Re-
publicans. Any further political pre-.
ferment which he may enjoy will have
to come at the hands of the partisaas
whom he is now denouncing."
The Hawk-Eye states the facts in
the case exactly as they are and states
them well. Practically all tie con.
cessions that have been made have
been made by the regular Republi-
cans, who have, time and again, sac
rlficed material advantages in the in
terest OF party harmony and success.
That they haze weakened themselves
time and again by such a policy is
beyond dispute. but despite this they
will continue to put party above fac
ton and vote for the party nominees,
whoever they may be.

babies doped with soothing syrups

says. an admirable code OF laws. but
there are few states in the Union
where the idea that everything evil is

that just and generous laws toward

the laws may be modified or repealed
