WANAMAKER is sEVENTY-THREE.

Philadelphia, July 11.-John Wanna
maker, whom even his competitors
call the greatest merchant in Amer
ica," owner of great department stores
in this city and New York, and prac-
tically the originator of the one-price,
satisfaction guaranteed or your money
back system of retail merchandising,
is today receiving congratulations of
friends and business admirers upon
his seventy-third birthday. The pres
ent year also rounds out fifty years of
active business life for Mr. Wanna
maker. and wholesale and retail mer-

were the foundations on which Mr..
Wanamaker built his business sue
cess, say his friends and associates.
From his belief in the potency
of advertising publicity
coupled with fair treatment of his GUS
toners, Mr. Wanamaker has become a
multi-millionaire.
Mr.. Wanamaker was born in Phila-
delphia July II, 1888. His first en-
ployment was at the age of fourteen
as an errand boy in bookstore. After
a brief residence in Indiana he re-
turned to his native city and embarked
in the clothing business in 1861. The
Wanamaker department store was es-
tablished in 1876 and was one of the
wonders of Centennial year. In 1896
he bought the A. T. Stewart store in
New York and his establishment in
the metropolis occupies two entire
blocks. He has long been prominent
in politics as an independent repub-
lican. and from 1889 to 1893 was
member of President Harrison's cabi-
net as postmaster general He labored
to establish a parcels post
in this country, but failed, and gave
as the reason for his defeat the oft
quoted six reasonable six big eX-
press companies.

the eXpen ses It seems to me that he
is rather foolish in his head.
But unfortunately there are ten peo-
pie who can't afford to make the trip
to every one who can. Somebody must
do the work CT the world no matter
how hot the weather is.
Ii occurs to me that the people who
have the money don't often appreciate
what they owe to the people who do
the work. They really seem to think
that they are superior while the fact
is that If 1t wasn't for the people who
work and smell of sweat there would
be no possibility of summer vaca-
ton.
II there were no grease-smeared en-
gineers and fremen there would be
no trains run to carry the passengers.
II there were no people willing or pos
sibly compelled by necessity to live
and work in hot kitchens there would
be no swell dinners for the people
with money. The truth is that most of
the people with a great deal of money
are after all of mighty little use.
Even the handling of their money they
leave to confidential and trusted en-
ployes in most cases.
The people who do the work are the
real important people after all. They
are never mentioned in the press dis
patches. They don't manipulate stocks
and make something out of nothing
on Wall street, but if it were not for
the humble citizens who work and
sweat things would certainly go to the
dogs mighty fast.-Topeka Mail and

HEARNE AND CALVERT WANT
RED RIVER TO GULF
HIGHWAY.

Hearne and Calvert each sent a
delegation to Dallas to work for a
change in the route of the Red River
to gulf highway so as to take in those
two towns. The inducements they are
offering are thus described in a news
letter from Dallas:
The Hearne and Calvert folks in
sisted that the main thoroughfare
should come through their towns. AS
originally planned, the pathfinders
who will leave Denison Monday morn
ing intended to pass to the east of
Hearne and Calvert, and go through
Franklin, the county seat of Robert
son county, then to Wheelock and on
TO Bryan. The contention of the
Hearne and Calvert delegations is that
the line should go from Bremond to
Hearne, to Calvert, to Bryan. The
route from Bremond to Franklin, to
Wheelock, to Bryan, is just one mile
longer than the road via Hearne and
Calvert. The Hearne and Calvert peo-
pie contended that the road via their
towns is a clay soil and will stand i'm
tanned, while that via Franklin is
heavy sand. In the matter of popula-
ton, it was shown that Franklin has
population Of 1900, while Hearne has
$500 and Calvert had 1850 yesterday,
as Mr. McGuirk expressed it. The
Hearne and Calvert delegations stated
that if the road is to be built and a
bond issue to do it is lost, the two men
in the party could furnish mules in
one hundred lots and wagons in
lots, and the people of the
two towns would furnish the labor to
build the highway"

The taxes paid by the liquor traffic
ought to have no influence on any
man who believes that the licen Sc
system is wrong. The good citizen
will never for a moment tolerate the
idea of the state entering into part
nership with vice. But there are good
people who do not believe that the
manufacture and sale of liquor is, per
Sc, immoral or promOtive of immoral
ity; therefore, they argue, it is per-
fectly legitimate to license the bust
ness and derive a revenue from it.
Denunciation and unproven state
ments will never convince either of
these that he is wrong and the other
is right.

Nobody is being converted, but the

around, pouring out their diurnal flow
of words to sweltering crowds. And
so it will be till the end of next week.
OF course, a good many able speeches
are being made, and the partisans of
the orators applaud statements of the
same old facts, or alleged facts, and
arguments that have been doing duty
in similar campaigns for three-quar-
tiers of century. No new information
is offered; nobody is learning any
thing. 1t is pity so much energy has

! Texas is one OF the best hog coun-
tries on the globe and this animal
| fattens economically under natural
conditions.
The hog has thickly populated the
rural districts of Texas and his rapid
approach has so alarmed city councils
that numerous ordinances have been
passed prohibiting him from entering
the city limits, but when properly
dressed and cooked he quickly wins
the favor of both alderman and citi-
zen.
Maj. G. P. Howell, United States en-
gineer for the Galveston district, is

navigable for this distance. Should
the report of Major Howell to the
United States engineers be favorable.
it is probable that congress will then
make the appropriation to cover the
cost of making the improvement. The
Improvement VI our rivers anu mar
bors will greatly lower the cost of
transportation.
The hog is the most prolific of all
domestic animals. AS rule the hog

hog can supply the market his coun-
terfeit quickly disappears.
