THE NEAR-GREAT ARE MORE USE

Morning When Your BiIers are
Busted.
The merchants, bankers, lawyers,
doctors, promoters and orchardists
should not usurp the entire time and
attention of those who distribute the
limelight, is the opinion of Fred
Chreswell, an old friend of R. b.
Scatterday and John Downey's RICH,
bower. Mr. Chreswell has many ideas
worth the while, but being of a modest
disposition, is leary of springing them
But when he does turn them loose it
is we'll to pay close attention, as he is
the heir-presumtive to an immense
fortune, and may some day be one of
our leading citizens as he is now one
of our men Of most usefulness.
"At a Fourth of July parade, on
horseback, besashed, Dan Campbell is
an imposing figure, but when your
bilers are busted on a cold morning
Sam Hartkopf looks pretty good to
most people. And what's the matter of
Sam? Echo answers what's the matter
Of Sam, but echo or nobody else can
place his finger on anything the mat.
ter with Sam. 1t amt there. Sam
Hartkopf is all right in more ways
than one He was timing and
plumbing before most of us were born
and he will be doing the same after
many of us are dead. He has kept at
it so long that he is a good timer and
that is some credit to any man. A
good timer is worth half a dozen
shyster lawyers in any market, es-
pecially when your bilers are busted
And while you are talking of your
plumbers there is Harthrong. Harth-
rong is some plumber too. He has not
been at it SO long as Hartkopf but if
he lives long enough and Sam don't
live forever he will eventually come
up to him. l think l may safely ven
ture to make that statement. For a
good plumber and his bill l have a
healthy respect. Harthrong and Hart
kopf should be played up to their full
deserts some day.
Then there is Dad Patten. Dad is
engaged in the legitimate business of
feeding the hungry. He may also care
for the orphans and cloth the naked
for all l know to the contrary. The
point is that he supplies square meals
at 80 cents per each. A great many
others have failed to do that very thing
in years gone by. To negotiate a
square meal under this Joe Cannon
tariff for 30 cents requires ingenuity of
no mean order When you have moth
ing else to do you can paste that in
your hat. 1t will help you to remem-
Der Dad Patten and it will pay you to
