Clean Up Day al Cemeteries.

The Leader would suggest gen.
eral cleanup day for the ceme-
teries. In the rainy seasons it
seems impossible for one man to
keep in perfect order the ten acres
of ground out at Rosehili. not
mentioning the smaller cemeteries
owned by our Jewish citizens and
the Catholics of our city. Some
one day agreed upon and announc-
ed. when ten or twenty hands could
be sent out by owners of lots to
assist in the work, would witness
such difficulties overcome that Sex
ton Vardeman could keep the mat
ter well in hand for an indefinite
period. Meantime. owners of lots
would do well to look after them,
while Mr.. Vardeman cleans up the
walks and vacant plots.

Young, courted, rich, picture to

And yet, alas; obsessed by carking care,
A prey to fierce desire.
She gaily smiled. A stranger would
have guessed
That with included happiness she
thrilled,
Yet Their was locked within her maiten
breast
A longing unfulflled.
A yearning that the happy never feel,
And which she strove, not vainly to
disguise;
Yet from few she could not quite
conceal
The hunger in her eyes.
Her laughter rang out like a silver
AS daiptiily she touched each dainty
But in her heart was burning all the
time
One mad, insistent wish.
strong temptation had her in It's
grip;
That conflict ragged within her one
might see.
Not yet" she whispered, with a trem-
bling lip,
But later, it may be.
Some day I'll wed. I think, without
conceit,
That such a thing is not too much to
say;
And then, unfettered, fearlessly, I'll cat
Green onions every day"

A DOLLAR a WEEK.

at is mighty hard" said an unfor-
tunate workingman some time ago to
the writer, ito save up $1,000 by lay
ing aside a dollar or two a week and
then to take it out of the savings bank
and lose it to a get-rich-quick swindler,
as | have just done" This poor fellow
could work and save, but he had not
had even kindergarten education in
finance. else his story would have been
different. He had never given
thought to interest, and so was alb
solutely ignorant of growth through
compound interest, and, of course, had
never heard of that wonderful process
of accumulation known as progress
sive compound interest.
One dollar deposited in a savings
bank that pays per cent. will amount
to $2.19 in twenty years. This is sim
ple compound interest. Now, if you
deposit 81 every year for twenty years,
or 500 in all, the sum to your credit
will have grown to $90.97, Any wage
Garner can put by 81 week. That
money deposited in savings bank for
twenty years will have increased to
$1612. A deposit of IS week will
have grown to $4,000, and this at per
cent will be 1920 a year. There is no
secret, no mystery about this. 1t is
clear as the cloudless sun and the
method is just as clean and honest

MIR. Roberts: Will the common
stockholders be invited to subscribe to

"Mr. Perkins. No. We thought that
we ought not to be allowed to do that
because We have tried to see where
the Justice was. The preferred stock
holders are entitled to as fair treat
ment as can be given them for giving
up their 40 per cent, of the stock and

Mr.. Gary: In some way we must
raise some extra money. We must
finance improvements that have ben
made and must be made in order to

ton, in the last half-hour of the day S
session.
Mr.. Stanley fingered the heavy
brass clasp of large book which he
had unlocked earlier in the day with
the brass key belonging to the Steel
Corporation. The book contained the
minutes of the executive committee
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. The extract to which Mr.. Stan
ley referred was the statement to the
committee by Mr.. Perkins at a meet
ing held at noon, March 4, 1902,
showing how 40 per cent of the pre-
rerred stock, or 5000, 100000, which
had then been depressed to about So,
and required a fixed payment annu-
ally for interest at Z per cent of
$14OOO,0OO, could be exchanged for
$25O,O0O,0JO of 8 per cent bonds,
which would require a fixed annual
expenditure of $12,5OO,O0O, and the
corporation thus make $5O,OOO,OOO of
cash without cost" and save an an
nual expenditure of S1,5OO,OOO.
Mr.. Stanley is an actor of no mean
degree. His elocution offered no
openings for criticism as he rolled out
in sonorous periods the explanation of
the manipulation which told of get
ting S5O,OOO,OlO without costing Us
anything"
The disclosure, which one commit
teeman designated a corporate So
liloquy" never intended for outside
ears, caused a sensation in the room.
Perkins sat bent over, his face white,
his eyes fixed on Stanley's lips. All
the afternoon he had been in high
feather as he had defied the commit
tees power to make him answer
questions designed to find out to
whom the United States Steel Corpo-
ration had given political campaign
contributions. The corporation law.
yers were startled by the extract, with
the exception of Mr. Lindabury,

tighter the place the more radiant
the smile, and now he smiled with all
his might.

the chairman from reading as far as
he liked in the minutes, and he con-

The minutes showed that there
were present at the meeting Judge
Gary, Charles Schwab, G. w. Perkins,
Charles Steele, Percival Roberts and
e. c. Converse. Mr.. Perkins, in an
almost inaudible voice, admitted to
Mr.. Stanley's question that he had
presented the plan to get S5O,OOO,OOO
for nothing, and answered in equiv
ocal sentences two or three more
questions, and the session was adj.
journed for the day.

Mr.. Perkins was then confronted
with a copy of minutes of the United
States Steel Corporations executive
committee, March 4, 1902, in which he
proposed the plan to raise S5O,OOO,OOO
without costing the corporation a cent
The record of that meeting, read to
Mr.. Perkins, was that Of plan which
the finance committee of the corpora
ton had been talking over and was 60

directors. Mr.. Perkins explained that

recently been made for extensions and

more than $4O,OOO,OOO. The corporation
had reduced them something like $40.

In addition, he told the executive

WORK COMES TO END

the Kyrene ditch came to a stop this
week. Engineer Reed came over the

They had been assured of water for
their lands as soon as the Kyrene
ditch could be completed but the lack
of fund in the reclamation service
brought things TO a sudden end and
when work may again be resumed,
no one can say. There is little hope
though of the Kyrene ditch being
completed before a year at least for
with the annual rising of the water

must cross, work there is out Of the

a question of time until the work will

START ON NO. 4

Work was started yesterday on
sinking the cylinders in pier No. 4.
This does not mean that the work on
No. ; is entirely completed for the
cylinders on No. still lack little of
being down to bed rock. The point is
that with the present pumping equip
ment, it seemed a waste of time to
keep on working against the water
in No. 5 The work was accordingly
shifted to No. and No. will be
completed with the bigger pump when
the new engine arrives In this man
ner little time Will be lost for the
first part Of the work on the new
pier can be handled nicely with the
present equipment but as the cylin-
ders get down deeper there is more
water than the machinery can take
care of.
