PATHOS IN A WOMAN'S LIFE
AFTER YEARS OF MONEY-MAK-
ING AND SAVING is INSANE.
Worth 100000 She Lived in Dr.

Figure in Wall Street.

NEW YORK.-There is a powerful
element of pathos, almost of tragedy,
in the life history of Miss Jane Per-
kins Williams, who was sent to the
Long Island State Hospital for the
Insane the other day after the SUI
preme court had been asked to APP
point a committee to look after the
estate of the woman. which is esti-
mated to be worth more than
$1,000,000. Miss Williams is now
seventy-fiye years ord, feeble and ap-
parently of unsound mind. Forty
or fifty years ago, when she was a
young woman, she was well known
figure on Wall street, and brokers,
bankers and other financiers knew
her we'll and admired her shrewd--
ness in stock speculations,
specuIated in Wall Street.
Her father had been a Wall street
man, and she inherited the taste for
stock speculations from him. With.

POINTERS FOR THE MoroRrsr.
The Proper Care of Spare Tubes and
Envelopes.

The average motorist has learned
by experience to take proper care of
the mechanism of his car, but he too
often neglects his tires Ordinary
care accorded spare envelopes and
tubes is good insurance, and will save
the motorist much trouble and mon
ey.
A few suggestions at this time
regarding the proper care of tires
may benefit the reader.
Never carry spare tubes unprotect-
ed in the tool box. They will inevita-
bly, come in contact with sharp tools
and greasy substances, resulting in
their serious injury. 1t is a well
known fact that oils and grease are
deadly enemies to rubber.
Exposure to strong light and vary
ing degrees of temperature is also
very injurious to rubber, robbing it
of it's elasticity and making it brittle.
All of these dangers are overcome
by the use of waterproof cloth bags
made especially for carrying inner
tubes. These are supplied by all
accessory dealers.
Motorists sometimes carry spare
tubes in the original cardboard box
es. The jolting of the car in motion
causes the tubes to chafe against the
sides of the boxes, eventually weak
ening or even wearing away the rub
Der. Unless the tubes are to be stOr-
ed in the garage they should always
be taken from the original boxes and
placed in tube bags.
Most of the above hints may also
be adapted to spare envelopes-eX-
posture to strong light and dampness
being particularly injurious. An en-
velope should never be carried unpro-
tected on the roof of a car or left
uncovered in the garage. Water
proof wrappers or cases are made
especially for the protection of spare
envelopes and their use will mean
a big saving to the automobile owner.
In this connection the Michelin
Tire Company of Midtown, n. j., is
publishing two instruction books
which contain much tire information
of value to the motorist BY writing
direct to the above company both
volumes will be sent free

THE FARM HAND OUT WEST.
Gets Big Wages in Nebraska, and His
Lot Is One to Be Envied.


Lot Is One to Be Envied.
Investigation by the agricultural
department reveals that the "hired
mans lot on Nebraska farm is an
enviable one.
The wages paid are at least doub-
lie what they used to be. A few
years ago farm hands were paid SIS
to S22 month, and much was re-
quired of them, both before and af-
ter their days work in the fields.
Now men are paid $35 to $40 a
month, in some cases as high as $50,
and their work is limited to driving
improved farm machinery 10 hours
day Most Nebraska laborers Of
the present time have a contract with
the farmer insuring them a desira-
bic life from spring to fall. A feat
ure in most contracts is that the
work Of a man outside the field is
limited to caring for the horses he
drives. He also has half holiday
Saturday, and the privilege of using
horse and buggy or a saddle horse
when he wants to go to town.
Meals at farm houses are better
than formerly because of the better
farming communities the automobile
has brought the farmers in close
touch with the town. Many store
keepers make deliveries for several
miles in the country by using the
automobile delivery wagon with high
wheels built especially for country
roads.
On the larger Nebraska farms the
young men from the agricultural
colleges are much in demand. They
are paid about SIS a month, and
the college farmer is put in charge of
the farm. Failures among these
young men are rare.

Billy" Sunday, the baseball evan

meeting in Toledo during the past

authorities descended upon his tab
